The Collie presents a picture of true balance, each part being in harmonious proportion to every other part and to the whole. He is considered one of the most beautiful breeds because of his elegant appearance. The Collie comes in two coat varieties, Smooth (less common) Coated and the Rough Coated with the only difference being the length of his coat. The Smooth Coated looks like he has a crew cut. Forever immortalized by "Lassie", he is a true family dog that enjoys human companionship. He is sometimes refer to as the Scottish Collie because of his heritage.
