He has since passed away, but his devotion to those breeds was amazing. Anyone looking to adopt a rescued Collie should seek out a breed-specific rescue.

I’ve always had Rough Coated Collies. I’ve been using the same breeder. I’ve also rescued many. The only disagreement was when to start professional grooming. The breeder said 18 months, I chose 12 weeks. Since my dog would need to be very clean and pest free; the sooner my dog learned that weekly pro grooming was a must. He has learned this and he is now very comfortable with this routine. I brush my Collie daily, I also brush their teeth daily. My RCC’s were a natural choice when I needed a medical service dog. The breed is socially acceptable due to “Lassie’s” phenomenal PR. Because my RCC’s are highly trained, he barks only when alerting. I couldn’t ask for my most trusted companion, care giver and incredible friendship from Pilot, my current service dog and to all the late RCC Service Dogs.

My current collie comes from my sister-in-law's aunt who bred and showed roughs. She also owned a grooming salon where my SIL learned to groom. She no longer breeds/shows or grooms due to her health issues, but her dogs were always very carefully bred, and the litters had every test you can give collie pups 🙂 They started bathing at 3 months, I believe, gradually adding in other steps every other day. Since many of the pups were going to be shown, they needed to learn that whole rigmarole ASAP. My Sorcha is a pro a grooming, granted she's getting groomed by the people that first started grooming her to begin with 😄 I don't show her, she's a family dog, but everywhere we go with her people marvel at how pretty she is.

My great grandfather had 14 of these dogs over the span of his lifetime. He refused to have any other dog work with him on his farm. They all lived very long and happy lives as herding cows. They are very responsive to human commands but unlike other herding dogs, have a great ability to be lazy and calm when not working. It was always exciting when he would get a puppy. The much older dog- near the end of it’s life would diligently help train the new puppy. Every old dog seemed happy to peacefully pass when the new dog was mature enough to help my grandfather, alone. Every dog was named ‘Bama. My grandfather’s last dog passed when he was 92 years old. He did not get another one because “the dog wouldn’t have anything to do when he was gone.”

I love how she gives backgrounds on whatever breed of dog it is.

I grew up with a rough coated collie/Shetland Sheepdog, they are the sweetest dogs you'll ever know. They are extremely intelligent and catch on to new commands and tricks in just minutes, also very energetic and are amazing at manipulating you into playing with them for hours without even realizing how long you've been at it. Seriously an amazing breed.

It makes it so much easier on the groomer, the vet, you and especially the animal. They feel so much more comfortable with new experiences, because they have had some exposure to what is happening at home. Bravo. I wish more owners would do this.

“Lassie Come Home” is one of my favorite books, and the original movie is wonderful-featuring a young a stunning Elizabeth Taylor.

We have a beautiful 8 yr old rough collie girl at home. We call her the girl scout because she likes to follow the rules and keep everyone in line. Cat included.☺️

What a wonderful trip down memory lane! I grew up with a Husky/Collie mix who someone dumped in our neighborhood. My brother and I BEGGED our parents to keep him. Thank god they eventually let us, because for 14 years we were blessed by the sweetest, most beautiful best friend and brother. I cried an ocean when it was time to say goodbye and I still miss him. Thanks for bringing Tippy back, just a little. 💜

Props to that owner for doing so well at home, and also for raising such a trusting calm dog.

I grew up with a devoted collie named Corky, the best dog for a kid. I now have a black and white rough collie, who is the sweetest girl in the world. She loves everyone.

Heroic doggo

Victoria would love this channel, as someone who has read a lot about her, I can assure you that. I can see letting Disraeli on hold because you had just upload a new video. And speaking about Victoria, you might find this interesting. She left her coronation banquet early to go to give a bath to her dog, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel if I remember correctly.

@@GodisMyNo1 Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, Ireland and the territories overseas. Empress of India. Defender of the Faith. 😋😜 Good Old Victoria was a big dog lover, I think she probably owned close to a hundred all through her life and there's a lot of little stories about her and her dogs through the books and media about her.

My uncle had several different kinds of dogs when I was a kids. One was a rough coat collie named Laddy. He was a natural with me and my sisters. Unfortunately a lady from the church came to visit when me and my 3 sisters were playing outside with Laddy. He went into protection mode and bit the lady several times. The city said my uncle had to put him down even though the lady opened the gate and entered the property whilst Laddy was barking at her. My uncle didn't have a "beware of dog" sign posted. When my uncle got a rottweiler he made sure to put up a beware of dog sign. It took a long time after losing Laddy for us to watch Lassie without crying.

Albie actually did get over his fear!! I’m so proud!

I grew up with rough collie, he was the goodest boy. He loved grooming, he also loved rolling in the mud right after grooming :) I miss my Ben ❤️

That's hilarious. My girl Collie Lassie lookalike wouldn't even walk in a puddle if she could help it, and never rolled in dirt. It's like God gave me the perfect dog foe me. She was a little lady through and through.

Albie is a well cared for and loved dog - he looks so handsome after his 1st groom! And Jimmy is adorable!

Man, I'm SO glad you didn't butcher his bib.

I love Collies & Shelties. Very smart sweet dogs

Growing up my grandparents had Collie's. Rudd Weatherwax and my Grandpa were friends. My summer sidekick was a feller named Rusty. 80 lbs of Love and Mischief. Boy could he run! He lived to be 16. It's been 50 years but I still think about him everyday.

Wow! Rudd Weatherwax, who trained Lassie and many other showbiz animals!

I love Collies. My aunt had one when I was a kid, that was very sweet. She had a Sheltie at the same time and no one could convince me that the Sheltie wasn't the Collie's baby. 😁

I have a collie and a mini dachshund. The doxie is a medium hair, and his color is VERY similar to the collie. Little kids think he is the collie's puppy all the time 😄

You are my favorite groomer on youtube. You are gentle, understanding. The leash was loose when you talked him into getting into the bath, you even gave him more slack when he turned back. I love how gentle you are with the tools. This is amazing! Wish we had groomers like you in our country.

The owner feels all kinds of pride hearing her praise their upkeep of their pet

I don't know why but Albie wearing the happy hoodie made me smile. They're a pretty dog before the groom, so I wonder how amazing they look afterwards. Edit: okay they look adorable afterwards

What a beautiful fluffy boy 🥰 Might’ve been a bit nervous at the start but then he was so well-behaved for the rest.

Hi Vanessa! Albie is gorgeous and you did a sensitive job for him. Woof! 🥰

Elbie was a little nervous at times but did his part well enough for a first timer. Good for him!

2:13 - "If you're interested in this breed, it is very important to research responsible & ethical breeders..." I would recommend you do that *_regardless_* of the type of breed if you are going to purchase from a breeder. And even if you are going to a pound/shelter/dog rescue to get your dog, please find out all you can about the dog you plan on taking home. If you have any doubts, express them to the staff at the shelter and get their opinion as to if that particular dog is going to be a suitable match for your household.

So happy to see a rough coat collie featured. I'm the proud Mom of 3 Beautiful boy Presley, Oakley and. Bentley. And can vouch for everything said about this awesome breed.

My mom actually got a rough collie from a rescue! He had been bought by a family who didnt know about the problems with irresponsible breeding, and they gave him up to the rescue when he contracted parvo and they found out he had mange. I'll always admire my mom for being able to give him his mange treatments, he did NOT like them and it was heart wrenching, but she managed to get his coat even more beautiful than before!!

1:45 "They are graceful..." while the ears go flap--flap.

Elby was loving that face wash!

When you say Grinch feet, i feel sooooo satisfied...i don't know why 😂😂...and i am so curious to know how those colognes smell.

Oh what a darling boy! He was so well-behaved even though he was so nervous. A very sweet doggo. 💋

Thank you!! Three weeks ago I rescued a Rough-coated Collie/Border Collie mix from my local shelter. 10+ y.o. Deaf, nearly blind, severely arthritic. EXTREMELY gentle sweet girl. She is my 4th RCC along with the 4 BCs I have rescued over the years. She was a stray when found, but her severe flinching when you go to pet her makes me think she was mistreated and dumped in the country. She will have a great home here with me, my Red Merle BC and my rescue cat. The shelter vet shaved her badly matted fur, but it looks like she was shaved by his three year old child! Fortunately, fur grows back. Both dogs get professionally groomed in 2 more weeks. Thanks GWtD for featuring this regal breed today!!!

I took care of a shorthaired collie when I was hospitalized, and the character that dog had was amazing. They are beautiful, cute and sweet dogs.

He had very expressive eyes, the "poor" boy 🤭. He looked great when you were done! 🧡

I’m very glad his owner is so diligent in brushing. It breaks my heart when I see videos of animals with matted coats.

i just had to chuckle with the squeeks he's giving before the happy hoodie, and the groans (of acceptance?) afterwards.

Very well behaved for being his first professional grooming.

Wow his before and after didn't look that different. You are absolutely right his parent is doing an awesome job with his coat!!! Love all doggos irrespective of breeds !!!💛🐾🐕🐾🧡

I grew up with collies and am planning to get another in the next year. They're incredibly intelligent and loving dogs but DEFINITELY sensitive! They're super easy to train and really love being brushed as long as you start when they're puppies. I hate that you see so many that are matted, they really aren't that hard to keep up if you stay on top of it! I loved brushing my girl's coat out, it was good bonding time and she was always so happy.

I like many breeds but Collies are my favorites! Once you have had one sharing your life you always want to have a Collie.

This dog reminds me so much of our Sheltie, Duffy. We had to put him down 1 year ago in Jan. I still miss him so much. He was such a beautiful and good natured dog. He was a big Sheltie, and was frequently mistaken for a Collie. He was funny too, he made us laugh a lot. Best dog ever.

My children used to love when my friend would come over and bring her Collie, Melody along. Melody was excellent with the kids, two of whom are on the spectrum.

He's so adorable.😍 Growing up I had a neighbor with a collie. He always knew where his kids were.

We had a collie we were both a few months old and we grew up together. Candy passed away at 16 yrs old. Still think fondly of him.

She does magic! All the animals look 👀 brand new after her grooming session.

My favorite folk art was a girl and a collie at a movie theater and the collie would laugh at all the right moments and react sad at the sad moments. A man observing this was astonished and said he'd never seen a dog react like that to a movie and was very surprised. The young girl said she also was surprised, her collie really didn't care for the book much.
