The collie is a distinctive type of herding dog, including many related landraces and formal breeds. It
originates in Scotland and Northern England. It is a medium-sized, fairly lightly built dog with a pointed snout,
and many types have a distinctive white pattern over the shoulders. Collies are very active and agile, and
most types have a very strong herding instinct. The collie type has spread through many parts of the world
(especially Australia and North America) and has diversified into many varieties, sometimes with mixture from
other dog types. Some of the collie types have remained as working dogs, used for herding cattle, sheep and
other livestock, while others are kept as pets, show dogs or for dog sports, in which they display great agility,
stamina and trainability.
Common use of the name "collie" in some areas is limited largely to certain breeds – such as to the Rough
Collie in parts of the United States, or to the Border Collie in many rural parts of Great Britain. Many collie
types do not actually include "collie" in their name.
Working collies are extremely energetic and agile dogs with great stamina, well able to run all day without
tiring, even over very rough or steep ground. Working collies are of excellent working/obedience intelligence,
and are instinctively highly motivated to work. They are often intensely loyal. Dogs of collie type or derivation
occupy four of the first sixteen ranks in Stanley Coren's The Intelligence of Dogs, with the Border Collie being
first. These characteristics generally make working strains unsuitable as pets, as few owners are able to give
them the mental and physical challenges they need and, if not well fulfilled, they may become unhappy and
badly behaved. However, in addition to herding work they are well suited to active sports such as sheepdog
trials, flyball, disc dog and dog agility. Working strains have strong herding instincts, and some individuals can
be single-minded to the point of obsessiveness. Collies can compete in herding events. Herding instincts and
trainability can be measured at noncompetitive herding tests. Collies exhibiting basic herding instincts can be
trained to compete in herding trials.
Certain types of collie (for example Rough Collies, Smooth Collies, Shetland Sheepdogs and some strains of
Border Collie and other breeds) have been bred for many generations as pets and for the sport of
conformation showing, not as herding dogs. These types have proved to be highly trainable, gentle, loyal,
intelligent, and well suited as pets. Their gentleness and devotion also make them quite compatible with
children. They are often more suitable as companions than as watch dogs, though the individual personalities
of these dogs vary.
