About
The Smooth Collie, a British herding breed, was regarded as the same breed as the Rough Collie from its earliest days; early Smooths worked for drovers and cattle dealers before repeated crosses with Rough Collies left little difference beyond the coat. Cheerful, friendly and neither shy nor aggressive, it combines intelligence and agility with an easy-care short coat, making it a fine active family companion.
