Background knowledge of the breed - short-haired Collie 

There are two varieties of the breed Collie. The breeds are almost identical, and it is in principle only the coat length that separates the two Collie variants from each other. The short-haired sports model has not been bred to the same extent solely on appearance, so it has retained more of the shepherd dog instinct. The breed is friendly and a good-natured companion dog who will thrive in an active family. The Scottish Shepherd Dog is Britain's classic sheepdog, which over the years has developed into an excellent companion dog and not least the family dog. The Collie is contact-seeking, teachable and easy to get along with. It is simply just a breed that you can not help but like. It is important to emphasize that it is extremely friendly and protective towards the children of the family, and it always wants everyone around it to feel good. However, the breed is not fond of loud noises, and it may scare it a bit, but otherwise the breed is very uncomplicated. When you want a dog like the Collie, you must know that the breed needs a good social life with close contact to its family or its leader. It is important that it is activated and allowed to meet many new challenges right from the start. The breed has a great play gene, and it loves to play throughout its life.

The short-haired and long-haired Collie have the same origin. They came to Scotland as shepherds, and they were originally considered one and the same breed. For a long time, puppies of the opposite hair variant could occur in both types of litters. Now, each of the breeds have their own standard and they no longer mate with each other. The short-haired Collie has never received the same attention as the long-haired one, and it was only considered a working dog for a very long time. Today, it is an elegant, sporty family dog. The breed grows to about 56-61 cm with a weight of about 20-34 kg.

The activity level of the breed

The breed can be well described with these words: Active, alert and easily sociable. The breed is contact-happy and responsive to directions, and it almost always listens and responds to orders. A Collie needs a lot of exercise as a youngster, but gradually adapts to the environment and its owners. However, the breed likes to solve tasks and use its clever head. The breed is always cooperative, meaning that it likes to take directions and usually stays close to its people.

Fur care and hygiene 

The fur of the breed is quite rough in structure. The coat is short and smooth with a very dense undercoat. The coat is slightly longer on the neck and chest where it forms a collar. The coat protects the dog well in all kinds of weather, and it is very simple to keep in everyday life with a regular brushing. There is not quite the great fur care associated with this breed.

Management of the breed

This is a nice breed that is easy to socialize. The breed is cooperative, it has a quick perceptiveness and it is extremely intelligent. The breed can become a fantastic competition dog if that is what you want to use the breed for.

Fur care and hygiene 

The breed is known for its large and shiny coat, which is probably also what many people fall for in this breed. However, the coat sheds less than you would immediately expect, and that is only a plus. The coat is extremely beautiful when well-groomed and cared for. However, the coat requires careful brushing and styling at least once a week in order to avoid it from filtering, and you can easily set aside an hour for work. It is important to accustom the dog to this from the time it is a puppy, so that it does not end up becoming a problem later on.
