The Collie is usually quiet unless she has a reason to bark. However, if she is left alone too often or if she is bored, she will bark excessively.

​

Both varieties of collies need grooming, but the Rough Collie especially needs regular brushing to keep her coat clean and free of tangles.  COLLIES SHED!

​

Many Collies are sensitive to medications including ivermectin, the drug used in heartworm preventives. Be sure to talk with your veterinarian before giving your Collie a heartworm preventive or any other drug.
