Smooth Collie Dogs for stud in Dorset

Smooth Collies can be prone to excessive barking if not properly trained. Their herding instincts and sensitivity often lead to barking, so early socialisation and consistent training are essential to manage this behaviour appropriately.

Smooth Collies have a double coat that sheds moderately throughout the year, with a heavy annual shed in spring. Regular grooming helps manage the shedding and keeps their coat healthy.

Smooth Collies are considered uncommon and are endangered as a breed in the UK. They are less common than Rough Collies, but their popularity is increasing due to their versatility as family and service dogs.
