Rough Collie
About the Rough Collie
Made famous through the Lassie Come Home franchise, these highly intelligent and loyal dogs are commonly found in the Scottish Highlands, where they are used predominantly as herding dogs.
Rough Collies are social in nature and easy to train, making them excellent family pets, although they are better suited to active owners due to their high exercise needs.
