Im thinking of getting a Collie. Do you know anything about them?
I do and love collies! They originated in Scotland and Northern England and are very active and agile. Most of them have strong herding instincts and are used as sheepdogs.
Oh cool. Are collies fairly smart?
They are. Along with their agility and trainability skills, they are known to be very wise dogs.
Do collies grow to be pretty big?
Collies are medium-sized and fairly lightly built, and all that running around keeps them trim and fit!
SO I will probably need a nice yard and some space for it to exercise in.
Definitely. While some collies have remained working dogs, some are kept as pets and they need space for sure!
Do you know if collies can be around children or the elderly?
I'm not sure. They were specifically bred for their intelligence and obedience, so could presumably be trained to be around children and the elderly.
