And also kind enough to post some pics? hEh...in love with that dog~ Look so gentle~ WhoOO! So hope to find some info like....the prices...the habits...the character...keep thinking of that dog...*mei nu~~~~*  Btw, below's the URL...look under "Collie". www.akc.org/breeds/recbreeds/breeds_c.cfm |

Big Apple: There are 2 kinds. The big big one is a collie. Thats the dog from the movie/tv Lassie. The smaller one is called a Shetland sheepdog(also called Sheltie). Dun be fooled into thinking they are the same breed. No. A Collie is not a giant Sheltie and a Sheltie is not a miniature Collie. A Collie is a Collie whereas a Sheltie is a Sheltie. My friend's could be a mix of these 2 cuz its bigger than a sheltie but smaller than a Collie so I dunno whether to call him a Shellie or a Coltie?  I think market price should be ard $900 and above? Not sure but this breed shldn't be cheaper than a JRT...  Be prepared to groom the dog almost everyday if not the fur is going to look like a mangled mess and smelly... |

Be prepared to groom the dog almost everyday if not the fur is going to look like a mangled mess and smelly... yeah man!!! must groom the dog v often. if not, wont look nice at all. and 'cause of their fur, if not well maintained, will have a lot of probs. i've seen s clean shaven collie b4. so sad.  |

The Collie used to be my 'dream' dog, especially from watching and reading about Lassie.... But they need alot of space and time... I also feel that it's unfair to the dog to keep it in this heat, unless there's air con or you can bear to shave it.

big apple > if u r looking for this breed, try to find from breeders or maybe adopt. petshops usu dun care much about their health 1 leh. and usu more exp. get from breeders are cheaper. but make sure u get from reputable responsible breeders. dunno if got any home breeders breed collies. hahaha... actu as long as u got pets at home (unless hamsters / gerbils), it's quite easy to find their fur in food leh. hahaha... but not everytime lah.  |
