Collies are seem to be rare in our part of the country. They are out there, just few and far between. Stay warm, been cold in our part of the country

I've had both Collies & Shelties. Your description of both breeds is 'spot-on'. Currently I have a yr old male Sheltie. He's always in motion. THANK YOU for the video. 🐕 ❤️

That is awesome!

I have 7 and can confirm on the rough collie characteristics. They are affection sponges, they will take all the loving you'll give them and come back for more. They are happy to exercise/work, but are just as happy sleeping all day. Great for people like me who sometimes like being active, but mostly lazy lol. Some individuals do very, but mostly the same. Only deviation of mine is one tri female, she doesn't have the collie personality compared to the rest. Also one thing I've noticed about my tri colors are they tend to be more on the aggressive side with other dogs, my 2 start fights were the others don't. Those 2 fight like cats and dogs, both have scars from each other. It's not a dominant issue, could just be a fluke with these 2. The others like you said avoid fights.

Shelties and Collies may look alike, but are two different breeds.

Grooming of a Sheltie I have found is no hardship at all. Combing for 10-15 minutes a week will do, trimming nails and paw fur and ears. That is is it.

Our Smooth Collie was very quiet girl, barely ever barked or cried. Only when balls were in the picture ⚽️🐕

I used to have a Scotch Collie and the only time I heard him be aggressive was once in a dog training school where he and another dog locked eyes on each other, and the snarling started, like, pretty badly. Otherwise, the only other time was when I was brushing him and it hurt him accidentally. where he'd give a warning snarl. Since then I have learned to use water while brushing.

Nice informative video I always wanted that thank you sir. Love to your beautiful daughters 💝!!

Laughed at you saying the Sheltie was the alpha dog. We had a 50 pound Clumber that was you get than our 15 pound Cavalier. Even after having teeth removed and a leg amputated due to osteosarcoma our Cavalier was still the Alpha. In 10 years, our Clumber never won a tug of war against our Cavie. Also, our friend’s Great Dane is scared of little dogs because they bully him at the dog park.

I wonder if it is not personality of the dog. In life as a human I am quite content to follow and not be 'Alpha'

This was useful as I'm still torn and undecided between the two, I reckon the rough collie edges it though. Thanks again 😊

I think the Sheltie is just about the perfect dog. So smart and just the right size. Just small enough to be a lapdog but big enough for most activities. One important tip for both breeds is that they’re both prone to barking. To keep this civilized, make sure that you socialize well as puppies. Also consistently discourage barking (we use “Aht, aht, aht” or a shaker can) and reward them with praise and pets when ours appropriately restrain their barking, despite a trigger of some sort. Better to not leave them in the yard unattended to avoid habitual barking.

I saw a breeder online that advertised "miniature Shelties" which I find a bit troubling. Yes, some people asked if my Shelties were "miniature" collies, and usually when I corrected them they looked confused and said they hadn't heard of Shelties. I loved it when people correctly identified the breed.

Thanks a lot for this video , I´m in two minds with this 2 dogs . It was really helpful also to see the size differences between both . For kids which would be your opinion? Which is more quiet? (energy) Collie? Thanks a lot for your help

@donmoore7785

He covered energy/activity in the video. Shelties have a sharp bark, but this can be lowered by getting them "debarked". Don't know about Collies but he said once they get going they can bark a lot. Probably a deeper bark than a Sheltie.

Great looking dogs. We’re looking for a Sheltie, do you mind sharing the breeder where your Sheltie came from or have suggestions?

I had a rough collie and 2 shelties at the same time. My rough collie was the leader. So.... not completely true as you are saying. Every dog is different.... personality is different... Depends on the parents they had (the breed). They both love to work for you, but a sheltie is 99% pleasable. Rough collie I think 95%. Same for agression. Yes they are normally not agressive... but I knew a rough collie that was... so... it depends on the breed.
