Did you know?
The Rough Collie is a large herding dog breed famous for its intelligence, loyalty, and gentle nature. Originally developed in Scotland to herd sheep across rough highland terrain, Collies became beloved family companions and starred in popular culture—most famously as Lassie. Their distinctive long, flowing coats require regular grooming but give them their iconic elegant appearance. Known for their sensitivity to their human family's emotions, Collies form deep bonds and were bred not just for working ability but for an intuitive, almost empathetic temperament that made them natural caretakers.
