I was looking around earlier and saw one or two collies and a few shelties. Who here has collies? I have a blue merle collie.

I don't own a Collie, but I love the breed. I own an Australian Cattle Dog, they were developed with the Collie, does that count? :p

When I was little, a neighbour used to own a Collie named Boo. He was the sweetest dog ever. He would come over and see me all the time, along with my cousin, we would lie with him in the grass, play with him, and pat him. He was a really great friend, and a nice childhood memory. :)

Collie's reputation with children is why I chose collies. My mother use to also breed them in the 70's and recommended them since I have a daughter. Kota has been great with my daughter. She watches over her and lets me know when something is wrong.

lol. How about 1/2 credit...

When I had my collie, Annie...I had my horse then and she would always go with me when I rode. Annie loved my horse, they were buddies. She was the sweetest dog. :)

I don't have a collie, but I almost got a sheltie pup. Will probably get a bi-blue or bi-black sheltie pup in the future. My friend breeds them.

I haven't ever owned a collie, but I've had shelties my entire life. I would love to own a collie one day when I have a little bit more room..they are simply gorgeous :)

My mom used to raise collies. They are really awesome dogs! You'll never find a cuter puppy than a collie pup ;)

They're very active and I did agility with my blue merle-Cruiser

I don't own collies but I know a lady who has smooth collies and the other day I saw the prettiest collie in the Humane Society and he was so sweet I really felt bad for him

I think there is one other Collie owner right now, but I haven't seen them in a while.

My boyfriend had a sable Rough Collie named Chase that he had to put down a few years back. Poor dog was a horrible example of a Collie in everything but his coat...I have yet to find another Collie with his awesome coloring. We will be getting another Collie someday though. Great dog!

There are lot's of collie mutts. Xena has a collie and so does Merles4Ever. They don't post that often. There are more who don't post much at all.
