    Detailed Listing Information
    Description of Pet

    Born 2/18/09 these boys are rough sable collies- in a nice dark golden color.They are started on heartworm meds and have first Parvo shot. Multiple champions in their pedigree.They do have an eye exam performed by a canine opthamologist. CERF papers. Their sire has natural ears, and I think these boys also will have that. Collies are good family animals, but require grooming and training. We are located in central Illinois. I have raised collies for 20+ years and try to combine health as well as beauty in these dogs. Most puppies housebreak in a week or less. However it also depends on the new owner as well. I can send photos.

    The adult in the picture is the sire- I think the sables will be his color.

    About The Breed
    ADVERTISEMENT
    A Rough Collie is a breed of dog developed originally for herding in Scotland. It is well known because of the works of author Albert Payson Terhune, and was popularized in later generations by the Lassie novel, movies, and television shows. There is also a smooth-coated variety; some breed organizations consider the smooth-coat and rough-coat dogs to be variations of the same breed.

    Collies come in five basic coat colors: sable and white, where the "Sable" ranges from pale tan to a golden mahogany; white (which some breed standards disallow); tricolour, which is primarily black edged in tan; sable merle, almost identical to a sable and white, yet with a slightly mottled sable coat, and blue merle, which is a mottled gray. All come with white coat areas, in the collar, parts of the leg, and maybe tail tip. Some may have white blazes on their faces. Tricolours are more likely to have a tan blaze on their face.

    The desired size and weight varies among breed standards; male collies can stands 55.8 to 66 cm (22 to 26 in) at shoulder; the bitch averages 5 cm (2 in) shorter. The male can weigh 20.4 to 34 kg (45 - 75 lb) and bitches 5 to 10 pounds (2.3 - 4.5 kg) less.

    The mascot of Texas A&M University, Reveille VII, is a Rough Collie.
