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).
Collie Colors..... Per the official Collie Standard, as approved by the Collie Club of America and the American Kennel Club: Collies come in (4) different colors. The most common color, (long associated with the breed thanks in part to Lassie), is the sable color. This color can range from a light golden tan to a dark mahogany color, laced with a black overlay. The next most common color is the tricolor: or black, white & tan.
