We were the first in North America to grow species such as Glossostipula concinna, Zinowiewia matudae, Lozanella enantiophylla, Weinmannia pinnata, Meliosma matudae, Cedrela salvadorensis, and Heberdenia penduliflora. Over the decades, the collection has matured into a realistic representation of cloud forest habitat.
The Silky Terrier dog breed exemplifies the expression âsmall dog, big personality.â Weighing just eight to 10 pounds when full grown, heâs tough and confident, perhaps because of his heritage as a hunter of small prey. Beneath the feistiness, however, is a loving companion dog who loves to stick close to his person.
An average male collie weighs between 60 to 75 pounds and stands 26 inches at the shoulder. The female collie weighs from 50 to 60 pounds and is 22 to 24 inches at the shoulder. The sheltie runs from 13 to 16 inches tall at shoulder height and weighs from 20 to 25 pounds. The collie muzzle is longer than that of a sheltie. Both the rough collie and the sheltie carry a full, lush outer coat over a thick undercoat.
