The Rough Collie is a medium‑large, long‑coated herding dog known for its intelligence, gentle temperament and strong family bond. Typically affectionate, alert and eager to please, Rough Collies enjoy regular exercise and mental stimulation rather than constant high‑energy activity, and they generally do well with children and other pets when properly socialised. Before buying or adopting, consider space for daily walks and a garden if possible, a commitment to grooming to manage seasonal shedding, and consistent training to channel their herding instincts.
