THE COLLIE

       ''The rough Collies have been working dogs for centuries, though the earlier breed was smaller and lacked the handsome appearance of the modern dogs. Originally used for herding sheep, collies were made generally popular by the admiration of Queen Victoria. The height should be 20 to 24 inches at the shoulder and the weight 40 to 60 pounds.
       Collies are usually black and tan with white frill and collar or a rich orange brown with white frill, collar and face. The may also be pure white or sable." Cook
