I have always wanted a collie for my first pet.
What's a collie ?
It is a type of herding dog that originated in Scotland.
OK ,Do you mean they are used for hunting too?
Herding dog
A herding dog, also known as a stock dog or working dog, is a type of pastoral dog that either has been trained in herding or belongs to breeds developed for herding.
Herding behavior.
All herding behavior is modified predatory behavior. Through selective breeding, humans have been able to minimize the dog's natural inclination to treat cattle and sheep as prey while simultaneously maintaining the dog's hunting skills, thereby creating an effective herding dog.
Dogs can work other animals in a variety of ways
Yakki Dog. A miniature breed standing about 14-16 inches at the shoulder. A popular pet and show dog, they also excel as obedience and agility trial dogs.
- Bearded Collie, a type of collie that looks somewhat like an Old English sheepdog.
- Border Collie, a collie type from the Border area of Scotland and Northern England, the most widespread herding dog
- Farm Collie, a landrace collie type. Arguably the same type/breed as the Collie Rough and Smooth, Scotch Collie.
