Collie

 

        The Collie is very graceful, actually appearing to float over the ground when it runs. The coat is long, usually sable and white, tri-color, or white. The males are 24-26 inches ant the shoulder, and weigh 60-75 pounds. The females are from 22-24 inches tall at the shoulder, and they weigh 50-60 pounds. The collies have existed for centuries, being herding dogs of Scotland and England. When Queen Victoria visited the Scottish Highlands and fell in love with the breed in the 1860’s was the point that Collies became popular. They have intelligent, calm behavior, and they are especially suited for being around young children.
