#Rough Collies

rough collies were once a very popular breed because of the lassie dog movie character, but they aren’t so common anymore. if you want a loving companion with these traits you might want to consider a collie! they have moderate energy and are known for their friendly personalities. no breed is a good fit for everyone, but collies became my heart breed because of laila and i can’t imagine living without one. #collie #servicedog #roughcollie #workingcollie #roughcolliesofig #roughcolliesofinstagram #roughcollies #roughcolliepuppy #roughcollielove #lassiedog

We always get asked why we chose not one, but two rough collies and here are main reasons! 1️⃣ Gentle Temperament: Known for their sweet, patient nature, Rough Collies are great with kids and other pets, bringing a calm presence to any home. We went with a pure bred registered breeder for Apollo where for generations, the family ensured they prioritised temperament. 2️⃣ High Intelligence: These quick learners excel in obedience training and are always eager to please, making them a joy to train and bond with. It makes the puppy training stage so much easier too. 3️⃣Moderate Energy Needs: While they love outdoor fun, Rough Collies are content with moderate exercise, fitting easily into a balanced daily routine. This was a key reason we chose this breed over other working dog breeds. 4️⃣Loyalty: Rough Collies form deep bonds with their families, acting as loving guardians without being overly protective. Recall and offleash walks tend to be naturally easier as they won’t stray to far from the pack. Would you consider one as your next dog? #roughcollies #collie #dog #breed #purebred

Mercy and I attended a new-to-us handling class today. She was extra silly today 🤣 We learned a lot and have a few things to try before our next show. I love seeing the little puzzle pieces in her mind fit together as we figure out this handling thing together. I also got some great feedback and kind compliments from another handler there that I really look up to. It’s always nice to hear good things ☺️ #dog #dogs #dogsofinstagram #dogsofig #instadog #instadogs #Collie #Collies #roughcollie #roughcolliesofig #roughcolliesofinstagram #dogtraining #training

Ah, rough collie owners—basically the aristocracy of the dog world but with more hair on their furniture. You all act like you have the most majestic dog breed, and honestly, you’re not wrong, but let’s not pretend they’re perfect. Your house is a fur-coated disaster zone. You probably tell people, “Oh, I brush him every day!” Meanwhile, your vacuum cleaner is crying for help, and there’s enough collie fluff in your carpets to knit a second dog. You treat your dog like a noble guardian, but let’s be real—if an actual burglar broke in, your collie would probably just stare at them judgmentally, then herd them into the best-lit corner of the room for dramatic effect. And don’t even try to deny that you narrate your dog’s thoughts in an unnecessarily posh voice. “Ah yes, human, I shall grace you with my presence—but only if you provide the finest of treats.” Also, why do rough collie owners act like their dog is the last true descendant of Lassie? “Oh, Finn is just so intelligent, he understands everything I say!” Sure, mate—until you tell him to come inside, and suddenly, he’s deaf. Let’s not forget the sheer level of pride in their dog’s coat. Every walk is a chance to let your collie strut like a runway model, while you’re secretly panicking because you know they’ll roll in something disgusting the moment you turn your back. And the herding? Yeah, you love telling people how your dog tries to herd children, other dogs, and sometimes inanimate objects. It was cute the first few times. Now you’re just apologizing to strangers at the park while Finn attempts to rearrange their family picnic. But despite all this, you know you’re obsessed. You wouldn’t trade that fluffy, dramatic, slightly snobby, and totally perfect creature for anything. #dogsofinstagram #dog #dogs #puppy #dogstagram #instadog #collie #dogoftheday #doglife #love #doglovers #doglover #collielife #puppiesofinstagram #cute #roughcollie #lassie #dogphotography #sable #colliesofinstagram
