Colour
Official Collie colours are: Sable and White, Blue Merle, and tri-colour.
There are also White Collies, with tri-coloured or sable heads, depending on what colour collies were involved in the mating. The White Collie however is not a recognised colour in Australia and the UK. The United States of America does recognise the White collie, where they are bred and shown; they also have an official White Collie Club.
Sable and White collies range in colour -from Golden sables, through to rich mahogany, shaded sables, or black-tipped sables - due to tri-factor i.e from a mating with a tri-colour.
Grooming
Rough Coated Collies need daily brushing, whereas the Smooth Coated Collie only needs to be brushed occasionally.
History
The Collie is thought to have originated as a cross between the dogs of the invading Romans and those of the native Scottish shepherds. The two sub-types (Rough and Smooth Coat) that have subsequently developed are used for different aspects of livestock work.
Positives
Collies are a gentle, sensitive dog, and are very caring towards their owner's family. They love to exercise, so be prepared for both morning and afternoon walks!
Negatives
As Collies were developed as a working dog, they need a solid amount of exercise every day. Thus they need a household to match.
