Collie
Originating in Scotland and Northern England, Collies form a distinctive type of herding dog, that has spread through many parts of the world (especially Australia and North America.
The things you can be sure of are that Collies are very active and agile. They are intelligent and obedient (when trained) and most types of collies have a very strong herding instinct.
Physically they are medium-sized, fairly lightly-built dogs, with pointed snouts.
While still used as working dogs today, all Collie breeds can also make wonderful companion animals as they are affectionate, loyal, and trainable.
