Collie Personality
Collies are fairly active, outgoing dogs, Although often content to lie by the fire with their master, like most other working breeds, Collies were bred to do a job and are much more content when they receive plenty of exercise and are trained to perform certain tasks to keep their minds occupied. The Collie standard expressly forbids any display of sullenness, timidity or viciousness, and it is extremely rare to find a Collie possessing these undesirable traits. As a rule, Collies are loving, loyal and quiet and devoted companions, gentle with children and other animals and quiet and dependable house pets. A Collie will bond very closely with all family members and will reward a loving owner with years of unquestioning devotion and affection.
