I just got a new puppy, it's a Collie. They are a herding breed.
they are districtive type of herding dog .. they are nice
They are generally a working dog, used to herd livestock such as cattle and sheep.
yea and they origiate from scotland and northern england
And they are very agile and very trainable, so they are good for dog sports or as show dogs
yea and the fact that they have spread through many parts of the world has increased their polularity 
There are also gentle and devoted, making them good with children.

There are at least a dozen different types of collies. Mine is a farm collie, also known as border collie.
