Group III —WORKING DOGS 
COLLIE (ROUGH)—This 
breed has always been a wort 
ing dog, his ancestors being the 
early shepherd dogs of Scot' 
land. The Collie shows great 
strength and activity and is 
very intelligent. His outer coat 
is abundant and harsh, the un- 
der coat soft, furry, and close. 
He is usually black and tan 
with white markings, or sable 
with white. This dog is about 
24 inches tall and weighs around 60 pounds. The rough-coated Collie 
is one of the most popular of the working variety group of dogs. 
COLLIE (SMOOTH) —The smooth-coated Collie was the cattle driv- 
ing dog, the rough-coated Collie the sheep dog. Both varieties, aside 
from the difference in coats, 
have been identical for almost 
75 years. The earliest ones 
were usually dark or black in 
color, hence were known as 
the Coally Dogs—from which 
we derive the modem name of 
Collie. The smooth has a 
short, dense, flat coat, is from 
22 to 24 inches in height and 
in color is the same as the 
rough-coated variety.
