II.— THE COLLIE (ROUGH AND SMOOTH). 



The (Jollie (Youatt). 

 (A) THE ROUGH COLLIE. 



One of the most beautiful and useful of all our dogs is the 

 Scotch sheep-dog or collie, an excellent engraving of which heads 

 this article. With a fine muzzle he combines an intelligent-look- 

 ing and rather broad head, a clear but mild eye, and- a pricked 

 and small ear slightly falling at the tip. His body is elegantly 

 formed, and clothed with a thick coat of woolly hair, which 

 stands out evenly from his sides, and protects him from the rain 

 and snow to which he is exposed in his work, clothing him round 

 the neck with a " ruff," which is more marked in him than in any 

 other breed of dogs with which I am acquainted.
