1. 1. Collie
Collies form a distinctive type of herding dogs, including many related landraces and
standardizedbreeds. The type originated in Scotland and Northern England. Collies are medium-
sized, fairly lightly built dogs, with pointed snouts. Many types have a distinctive white color
over the shoulders. Collies are very active and agile, and most types of collies have a very strong
herding instinct.
Description
 Collies are generally medium-sized dogs of about 22 to 32 kg (48 to 70 lb) and light to
medium-boned. Cattle-herding types are more stocky.
 The fur may be short, or long, and the tail may be smooth, feathered, or bushy.
 The tail can be carried low with an upward swirl, or may be carried higher but never over
the back.
 Each breed can vary in coloration, with the usual base colors being black, black-and-tan,
red, red-and-tan, white with a colored head with it without other body coloration of sable,
black and tan, blue merle, sable merle sable.
 They often have white along with the main color, usually under the belly and chest, over
the shoulders, and on parts of the face and legs, but sometimes leaving only the head
colored – or white may be absent (unusual) or limited to the chest and toes (as in the
Australian Kelpie). Merle coloration may also be present over any of the other color
combinations, even in landrace types.
 The most widespread patterns include sable, black and white, black and tan and tricolour
(black-and-tan and white).
Temperament and Needs
 Collies range in trainability from the "average" to very biddable.
 The Border Collie is also the breed most in need of a job, while other collie breeds fit
well into an active family lifestyle.
 The breed is also known for its sensitivity and awareness of emotions in people.

2. Life Span
 The average Collies lifespan is 12 – 14 years
