Smooth Collie
Loyal. intelligent. Yours.
There's a moment every Smooth Collie owner knows, you're watching your dog move across the yard and it hits you all over again: this is the same noble, intelligent, devoted Collie the world fell in love with, just wearing a sleeker jacket. That wedge-shaped head turns toward you with the same deep, knowing gaze, dark eyes that read your mood before you've finished having it, but without the flowing mane, you can see every line of athletic elegance underneath.
