is a robust, vigorous, active dog and is still used
as a sheepdog. Due to its intelligence, however, it

dog for blind children. Because of its beauty it has
become primarily a companion dog. Frequent brushing
is required to maintain the beauty of its coat. The
collie should be bathed occasionally. In summer it suffers
from the heat and should always have access to a shady
spot.
