Ears which do not 'tip' properly, however, are common, and many collies have their ears taped as puppies (using medical adhesive or paper tape) to encourage them to lay properly – no cutting or surgery is involved. Four coat colors are recognized for Rough Collies: The size and weight varies among breed standards; male collies can stand 55.8 to 66 cm (22 to 26 in) at the shoulder; the female averages 5 cm (2 in) shorter. The males are usually in the weight range (50–70 lbs), and the females are usually 5 to 10 lbs less. All have white coat areas, in the collar, parts of the leg, and usually the tail tip. Some may have white blazes on their faces.
