About
The Rough Collie herded sheep in the Scottish Highlands for centuries, its name deriving from the black-faced Colley sheep it tended. Queen Victoria's patronage from 1860 made it fashionable, and the sable and white coat first recorded in 1872 sealed its popularity. Graceful, dignified and perfectly balanced, it is friendly, neither nervous nor aggressive, and makes an outstanding family companion.
