Collies

I'm talking about collies because my friend Xander has a Collie, and before I liked Brittany Spaniels, Labs and Silky Terriers, I liked Collies.  

Collies are in the herding group. Collies were bred to herd sheep and some time goats. Collies weigh about 48-70 pounds and hight is 22-24 inches tall. Collies are on the large side for dogs  Collie have problems with hip dysplasia and vision problems. Collies coats can be long and flowing, rough, or smooth. Collies have white in  coats and could have sable, and blue merle. Collies are really smart. Collies are good with families with older kids, single people, and athletic people and good in the suburbs.
