The Collie
The Collie is a graceful, intelligent, and loyal dog breed. It is known for its elegant appearance. It has a thick double coat and a distinctive long, narrow nose. There are two main varieties of Collies. The Rough Collie has long, flowing fur, like Lassie. The Smooth Collie has a shorter, dense coat.
Why the Collie Has a Long Nose:
The Collie’s long nose, or dolichocephalic head shape, enhances its function as a herding dog. This elongated snout improves airflow during sustained physical activity. It may also enhance vision, especially peripheral vision. This helps them keep an eye on livestock over wide fields. Additionally, the streamlined head contributes to the breed’s refined and alert expression, one of its most iconic features.
This dog is my nieces dog. A very smart dog as well. They are beautiful dogs for sure. Have a great weekend. 🙂

I was a big fan of Lassie back in the day. I would not have recognized that first up close and personal snout picture as a Collie, but the second one is a wow!
very pretty 🤣😎🙃
Beautiful!
Quite a contrast! A super not-so-flattering close-up and a beautiful portrait. It’s all a matter of perspective, right? A great-looking dog and I’m sure with a personality to match. Dog breeding is a fascinating field of study I have never ventured into in-depth but gained a little knowledge here and there like right here. Thanks Sandra. Good work. Have a great weekend
Thank you RJ, you also. 🙂
That nose! Up close and personal! Collies are so beautiful; I love ’em.
Me too. 🙂
Beautiful Dog
