I had a male Rough Collie until he passed away in 2017 and I now have two female Smooth Collies. I found my rough male was more laid back while the two smooth females are more reactive and vocal. Overall they are loyal loving dogs.

Our Rough Collie died 2 years ago he was 11 years old. The best dog we ever had we miss him every day. We can't afford a puppy as they cost so much but Collies are wonderful dogs you have to learn to live with the hair everywhere but it is so worth it.

Here in Ireland, Border collies are mostly working dogs, and much less companion dogs. This is because the farmers who breed them put down the ones that they can't train to work. Only a few find homes with people who are ready to cope with a hyperactive, territorial maniac that will herd their children around the yard. That said, I *love* border collies as companion dogs. They're just not easy to live with because they want to be people too :)

The writer of lassie actually grew up with the scotch collie, or English shepherd. A dog type that acts often like lassie from the show. Hollywood used the rough collie for it’s showy looks. Also I think Shellie’s are basically mini scotch collies.

I would love to have an army of rough collies.😍

I would take issue with the statement that Border Collies are less common as working dogs and are more companions. They may not be used so much as cattle dogs but they most definitely are very popular as sheepdogs.

Gorgeous angels in fur thankful to you 🐕😁🙏✌👍

You didnt mention the Welsh collie, a separate breed from the border collie , that they are confused with, and many crossed with border collies. But they are a unique collie genetically.

The Sheltie was once known as the Shetland Collie but there was some outrage from the Rough Collie club, so the Sheltie was renamed Shetland Sheepdog, sometimes called the Shetland Terrier.

I have a rough collie named Bailey and he is my pride and joy!

I have a rough collie named Lassie.

I have a soomth collie tri color and a blue Merle rough collie there both amazing and very loyal my smooth collie is very protective with me my rough collie loves every one as dose my smooth collie but they pick up on bad people immediately

We have 2 rescued collies, one border and on Welsh collie (Welsh sheepdog/border collie)

My Border Collie is so hyper, and will NEVER leave me alone. I have to close a door between us to have peace, and even then, I know he’s laying down against the door, just waiting on me on the other side 😅 I’d say, it’s been worse on my own ocd/cortisol problems, but he’s learning me, and when to calm himself. It’s all a learning game over here for the both of us! I’ve had a few friends say he looks like he’s mixed with a short Bulldog, a Corgie(because of his fat butt/splooting), and even an English Cocker Spaniel(because of his long ears&waves). At this point, idk; all I know is that it’s so funny when he tries to play rough with me, and ends up hearding me around the house with his scary left to right head swoops. Looking so evil 😂

I was hoping to see the miniature one

2:06 Border Collie 😳

2:32 that looks exactly like my dog since December we've been trying to figure out what she is im pretty sure shes a border collie shes also super smart except her ears droop at the top

HAHAHA Border collies must be THE number one cross breed where I live. The farm dogs escape and sow their wild oats, so there are collie cross all sorts. And honestly, collie crosses are the best dogs. They are pure mutt doggy dogs, clever and fun, but with some of the neuroses mitigates. Collie crosses make great dogs.

I think he's talking about percentages. There's only so many good options for herding breeds, but loads of options for pets/companions. Plus only the puppies with the most potential are kept for working farm dogs. The rest of the litter will find homes as pets.
