Some dog historians believe that collies go as far back as the Roman empire. More recently, this breed of herders comes from England and Scotland. During the late 1800s, England's Queen Victoria took a liking to the collie, thus giving the dog its rise to fame.
Collies are great with children and very intelligent.
Think about getting a collie if you're looking for a dog that loves people. Collies love being around people, especially children. Reconsider getting a collie if you won't be home a lot, or if you plan to leave the dog primarily outdoors. Collies crave constant human companionship. If they aren't included in all family activities, they can become bored and may be prone to barking or digging.
