Collie (Smooth)

The obvious difference between the breeds is the coat length, which in the case of the Smooth is short and flat with a harsh texture on a dense undercoat. Colour range is the same although one tends to see more blue merles in Smooths than in Roughs. As a result the blue and blue-¬flecked eye is more characteristically seen in Smooths. Both breeds’ standards call for a gay, friendly disposition without a trace of nervousness or aggression
