On the other hand ? Not being 'popular' can also mean there are fewer 'opportunistic' breeders out here that breed them ONLY because they're 'popular' which can lead to unhealthy dogs because - to those types of 'breeders' - it's ALL about 'quantity' and NOT 'quality' !

@@voiceofreason7856 good point.

@@robertsandberg2246 Thank you. I am currently owned by a big, beautiful, Rough Collie boy. My fourth Rough Collie, over the years, from the same breeder. His markings look just like Reigns. So, the true 'Lassie' markings, less the white blaze on the face. :)

😢 I’m so sorry

My smoothie is replacing my old dog as my emotional support dog. He is so gentle and kind already. So smart. I wouldn’t rate my tri smoothie for ANYTHING. he has picked up everything so fast, I agree with you. So great

@@maureenmackey4879 It is nice to see someone feels the same about Smooth Collies. They are really nice, sympathetic dogs who have a great personality. Hope you enjoy each other. I miss my collie still. I don't think I am over him yet.

Best dogs ever !!!!

Mike sound like a Collie type human. I think you should have another. Collies need people like yourself.

@@davidrobinson7112 Thanks for your message. I do love collies, and I might get another in the future. It's just that I am getting older and don't know if I have the stamina or the finances for another buddy. I think having a collie is a privilege and want it to go well for everyone. So right now I will wait until the opportunity is right. I think losing my buddy during Covid was one of the most difficult thing I had to do. I really think collies have the most dynamic ,playful, and soulful attitude of all dogs and they are very caring and charming dogs to own.
