| Colour Official Collie colours are: Sable and White, Blue Merle, and tri-colour. There are also White Collies, with tri-coloured or sable heads, depending on what colour collies were involved in the mating. The White Collie however is not a recognised colour in Australia and the UK. The United States of America does recognise the White collie, where they are bred and shown; they also have an official White Collie Club.
Sable and White collies range in colour -from Golden sables, through to rich mahogany, shaded sables, or black-tipped sables - due to tri-factor i.e from a mating with a tri-colour.

| History The Collie is thought to have originated as a cross between the dogs of the invading Romans and those of the native Scottish shepherds. The two sub-types (Rough and Smooth Coat) that have subsequently developed are used for different aspects of livestock work. |

| Positives Collies are a gentle, sensitive dog, and are very caring towards their owner's family. They love to exercise, so be prepared for both morning and afternoon walks! |
|||||||
| Negatives As Collies were developed as a working dog, they need a solid amount of exercise every day. Thus they need a household to match. |
