Smooth Collie Puppies for sale in Bromyard, Herefordshire

3 Smooth Collie Puppies for sale in Bromyard, Herefordshire

Smooth Collies are handsome dogs that, like their rough-coated counterparts, were bred to work as herding dogs, but over the years this trait has not been as prominent as it once was. Over the years, however, this trait is no longer as pronounced as it once was. Smooth Collies instead focuses on protecting the family, which makes them all the more endearing to have at home.
