Collies are wonderful dogs, they have fantastic personalities too. They are sweet, loyal and intelligent. They are from Europe and we can guess the origin was around Scotland. They are usually around 1 1/2 feet to 2 feet. They can weigh anywhere from 50 to 80 pounds and there life span is around 14-15 years. They are generally very easy to train (potty train included) and are very friendly too. they are also great family dogs, they are good with kids and other dogs and need moderate to low exercise. They can live in small apartments with daily exercise. They are almost always friendly towards strangers and are very good in cool weather. In hot weather they can get very hot because of there thick double coat. The thick double coat helps keep the dander in so they are more hyper-allergenic then some other dos. The brushing and general grooming is not the easiest but it is a great time to bond with your dog.

I would recommend to everyone to get a rough collie, they are the best animals, let alone dog, EVER!!!!!!!
