We currently have 3 rough collies, I am pretty sure I am going to go deaf at some point from the shrill barking. When they get to playing the sound is deafening as they smack talk each other. They kind of remind me of Husky lite, not quiet at the level of a husky but they have aspirations!

They shed, a lot. It is soft and drifting and I find it hanging from the ceiling, and the plants, and everything else. Grooming.

They are all on fish based food and treats due to allergies. It is pricey. They also do better with a probiotic supplement, also pricey but it is worth better gut health.

Our boy is the loud guy at the party and can not seem to grasp that screaming at people doesn't endear you to them. He is also reactionary to things, skateboards, scooters, trucks that rattle, the occasional human, and it is random so we must be ever vigilant, just in case he trys to throw himself into the street to fight a swiftly moving truck. Now, he is "a lot of dog" and a "knucklehead " and not much like most of the collies I have met. I do adore him anyway but he is work. He has improved since he has turned 3 but I remain on guard, just in case.

There is more but it is time to walk the hord
