Rough Collie

Loyal. gentle. Yours.

There's a moment every Rough Collie owner knows, you're standing in the yard and your Collie turns to look at you with that impossibly elegant wedge-shaped head, the breeze catching that magnificent mane like a shampoo commercial directed by nature itself, and you think: this dog is more photogenic than I will ever be. Those dark almond eyes hold a thousand years of Scottish hillside wisdom, gentle and knowing, like they've already figured out what you need before you have.
