For most of their history, smooth Collies have been classified with the rough Collies. The personalities of these two breeds have diverged perhaps because of the smaller gene pool of the rather uncommon smooth Collie which is rare outside of Great Britain. Rough coats are also called Scottish Collies and are more popular than the smooth. They are both good family dogs. Coat colors for both breeds are the same, sable & white, blue merle and tricolor. These dogs need regular grooming and exercise. They weigh 40 to 66 lbs. and stand 20-24" at the shoulders. Contact the dog breeders below for your next family friend.
