The Collie comes in four colors: sable (think Lassie), tricolor (black with white markings and tan shadings), blue merle (silvery blue and black), and white (predominately white with markings). The amount of grooming necessary for the Collie depends on the variety. Overall, the Collie is a clean dog, with minimal doggie odor. The long, full coat of the Rough Collie needs thorough brushing twice a week (even more frequently to keep her looking Lassie-like).
So there. LASSIE. Now that that's out of the way, the Collie is a very popular breed of large dog, not only for its obvious ties to classic literature and film, but for its sharp mind and friendliness. This loyal pooch rarely show signs of aggression, unless, that is, its owner is in need of protection.
