2 Welsh Collie Puppies for sale in Swansea, Swansea

The Welsh Collie, also known as Welsh Sheepdog, is a highly intelligent dog that has worked alongside shepherds for centuries, tending flocks of sheep in some of the most remote regions of the Welsh hills. They have always been prized for their working style, which differs from that of a Border Collie in that they do not keep their eye directly on the flock, but work the sheep with a "loose eye". Today, these charming, active dogs are also popular as companion and family dogs thanks to their good looks, intelligence and loyal, affectionate nature.

FAQs

What is the difference between a Border Collie and a Welsh Collie?

The main difference between a Border Collie and a Welsh Collie (Welsh Sheepdog) lies in their breed recognition, appearance, and herding styles. Border Collies are a standardised breed internationally recognised for their focused livestock herding, while Welsh Collies are an indigenous, less standardised breed native to Wales, traditionally used for herding sheep and known for their varied appearance and working style. Border Collies are more widely bred and known, whereas Welsh Collies remain rarer and mainly bred as working dogs in Wales.

Are Welsh Collies good pets?

Yes, Welsh Collies can make good pets, particularly for active and experienced owners who can meet their high exercise and mental stimulation needs. They are intelligent, highly trainable, and generally good with children, though their natural herding instincts may cause them to try to herd young kids if not managed with early socialisation and consistent training.

Are Welsh Collies rare?

Welsh Collies are relatively rare compared to Border Collies. They are less commonly bred or found outside of Wales and herding communities, partly due to their more specialised working dog status and less formal breed recognition, making them uncommon in mainstream pet markets.

How much exercise does a Welsh Collie need?

Welsh Collies require at least two hours of vigorous physical exercise daily combined with mental stimulation such as herding activities, obedience training or dog sports. They thrive on long walks in open spaces and activities that engage their intelligence to prevent restlessness or behavioural problems.
