As a teenager we had a collie for 15 years. He was a very gentle social boy but what a BARKER. Barked when happy, to protest, when someone came over, for food...OMG the list goes on. He would not shut up, but he was momma's boy for sure.
He also would herd quite abit. Especially the children in the park. You need to watch out for the little nibbles that they give. It is not biting but it does pinch somewhat.
Grooming everyday is a must.
All in all, not only are they one of the most gorgeous dogs, but they are wonderful family dogs. Just all around great temperments.
Watch out for medical issues usually related to the eyes. Before getting a collie I would advise having a vet look them over first, before making the committment. Not that it is a huge expense, but because there is not much that can be done for 'collie eye'.
Best to you.
