Smooth Collies!

Smooth collies are great dogs. They are the same breed as the Rough Collie. Although it the show ring they are shown in their own category, the Rough Collie and the Smooth Collie are bred together when producing puppies. The Smooth gene is actually dominant over the Rough gene. So if you have a dog with a Smooth Gene and a Rough Gene, the dog will be Smooth.

The Rough Collie is the Lassie type collie most people know from popular TV and Movies. The Smooth collie is the short haired variety that takes much less coat upkeep!

Smooth Collies 

Smooth Collies are amazing dogs. They are members of the Herding Group and have been bred for many years to herd sheep and ducks, and even cattle.

Smooth Collies have much shorter coats than their Rough Collie relatives. Smooties take very little grooming. Though they do shed quite a bit all year long and can benefit for regular brushing.

Smooth Collies, like Rough Collies, come in four colors. The Sable and White (pictured above) which is like Lassie. The Blue Merle; the Tricolor, which is black brown and white; and the color-headed white. The color-headed white collies are mostly white, with coloring on their heads which can be one of the other three colors.

Smooth collies do great at agility, obedience, herding, therapy work, and being family companions!
