Gentle and devoted herding dog, known for its noble silhouette and rich, flowing coat. Within the family it is tender and patient with children, more reserved with strangers but not needlessly sharp. It originates from Scotland, and the breed was made famous by the literary and film character Lassie. Intelligent and sensitive, it responds best to calm, positive training and enjoys learning tricks and lighter dog sports. It needs regular exercise and mental engagement rather than long miles.

Well raised, the Collie is a reliable, elegant companion for an active household.
