Collie Breed Description
Herding Group
 
Appearance
The Collie should give the impression of beauty and harmony combined with robustness and agility.  The head, which is extremely important in evaluating the breed, should be flat between the ears with a straight, elongated, muzzle and a black nose.  Ears are rather small, carried toward the back of the head, two-thirds erect with the top third folded forward.  His body is rather long in comparison with its height.  The tail, which should reach his hocks, is carried low with a slight lift at its end.  The coat is thick and dense, especially at the collar, although the hair is short on his head and muzzle and at the ends of his ears.
