I've never had a collie dog, but I've met plenty of them, coming from Scotland! The breed originated in Scotland and the North of England.
The seem like such neat dogs! Are they an old breed?
They've been around a long time. Originally they were used for herding livestock, and some still are. Others are kept as pets or as competitors in dog sports.
They are very useful! Isn't this the breed that the English royals usually own?
No, you're thinking of the corgie. Corgies are little we things; the collie has a great deal of stamina and agility, unlike the corgie!
Oh, that's right! Thank you! Are collies small dogs?
They're a medium sized dog, with a light build and a pointed snout.
They sound like great dogs! Are they known for having any health issues?
