Collie Personality

    Wishing to bring a dog into your home? Some canine breeds are easier to own than others, especially for newbie dog parents.

    To find the easiest canine breeds to own, we had a look at a range of essential characteristics. And you might be shocked by the traits that matter most. For instance, you might think you want a smart dog. Highly intelligent dogs aren't always the easiest to train, because trainability is more about a dog's desire to comply with instructions than his capacity to recognize them.

    You might think an energetic dog will be the easiest to keep healthy. But a canine with a lower energy level and no genetic predisposition to disease will actually be easier to handle. Additionally, choosing a dog with an easygoing temperament - and minimal grooming needs - will go a very long way toward keeping you right-minded.

    Top 5 Easiest Dog's To Own

    1. Beagle - The beagle is among the top 10 most popular breeds for good reason: He has a bigger-than-life character and a merry nature that make him a warm and joyful buddy.

    2. Border Terrier - The border terrier is very "happy," "plucky," and "passionate." This dog has a moderate energy level but a more laid-back character than many other terriers.

    3. Bulldog - If you want a patient and mellow pet dog, you can't make a mistake with the bulldog. You can effectively train your bulldog - specifically if you use lots of praise and incentives and keep a sense of humor.

    4. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel - They can be loyal hiking partners or shameless couch potatoes, depending on the owner's character - as long as they get a rewarding walk each day.

    5. Basset Hound - These medium-sized dogs aren't very active. And while most dog owners won't put the basset hound's hunting prowess to the test, they'll treasure the breed's sheer patience with children.

Collie Information

The collie is an active, lithe, strong dog that combines strength, speed and grace. Its gait suggests effortless speed as well as the ability to change speed and direction instantly, as required in herding dogs. The coat can be of two types, both with a soft, abundant undercoat. The outer coat of the smooth variety is short, hard and flat; that of the rough variety is straight, harsh, abundant and long, particularly on the mane and ruff. The collie's expression is an important hallmark of the breed, and depends upon the shape and balance of the skull and muzzle, as well as the characteristics of the eyes and ears. It should be bright, alert and intelligent — traits accentuated by a fairly refined head.

Collies are impressive dogs; friendly, highly-intelligent, proud, and beautiful. They are great at understanding human's moods and they are very fond of children, making them ideal family pets. Collies require daily exercise and human interaction to be happy. Gentle training is all that is required for a Collie to learn easily and quickly. They have historically been and continue to be beloved family companions.
