WHAT THIS DOG NEEDS
The Smooth Collie, recognized by the FCI as breed number 296 in Group 1, is a close relative of the more familiar Rough Collie, differing primarily in its short, dense coat. This elegant and athletic herding dog has been valued for centuries for its intelligence, loyalty, and versatility, excelling not only in the pasture but also in various canine sports and as a devoted family companion. With a balanced temperament and a strong desire to work alongside people, the Smooth Collie offers a compelling blend of beauty and function.
