SmoothieGirl Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Smoothies (aka Smooth Collies) do shed a bit but less than a lab and it tends to be seasonal. A good scrub over with a hound mit, a rubber curry comb or a slicker once a week would really help with that though. My rough only gets 35 minutes of grooming a week and I'm a bit neurotic about hair on the carpet. They have lovely temperaments but more full on than the roughs and they tend to be bolder too. They can be barkers though. I'm baised I think they're lovely, very gentle obliging dogs. That damned nose though is into everything, you'll never unpack a bag or wrap a present in peace again. Can suggest a lovely breeder too. Spot on NC, especially the bit about that nose, its pointy for a reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natsu chan Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Megan weak nerves are certainly becoming an issue in the roughs I totally agree with you, but the smooths are on the whole very sound temperament wise. Smooths are a lot bolder and have far better nerve than the roughs even when you are talking about puppies from the same litter. Collies are however sensitive and this needs to be taken into account.
