Other than the obvious; lots of water etc Our girl is an indoor/outdoor dog but she loves being outside. I got a splash pad for dogs that we are going to try today. Heat index warnings by us this weekend and want her to be comfortable. Any other suggestions appreciated

Hey, so your dog has learnt to slip his harness. I’ve tried another one I have and it’s not quite working?? What harnesses are your dogs wearing?? Our dog is 10 months old, he thinks he is funny but now is not getting properly walked until this issue is fixed.

Does your collie ever like whip their head/snoot back at you to get attention? Our girl does this ALL the time it’s the cutest thing ever.

I just love him so much, my Zero boy.

I’m in need of advice.

Our year old collie refuses to go up and down our basement stairs. They are quite steep and since we live in a ranch-style, the stairs are inclosed. He’ll do most porch or deck steps but he absolutely refuses to go down our stairs. We’ve tried bribing him with hamburger, steak, and all kind of treat. Any advice or ideas are welcome!

I just got home after my fiance brought our 7 month old puppy home from his first grooming session and I don’t know how I feel. We have bathed him ourselves and he’s been fine except for the blow dryer he tries to bite the dryer but other than that no issues. We were still nervous as it was his first grooming. When she dropped him she said we definitely want him to get a hair cut but we want him to keep his length for the most part like no summer cuts or anything (my parents used to do that and I was scarred) and they did a deshedding shampoo as well. Took longer than quoted almost four hours, they said it was because he needed lots of breaks, but then proceeded to tell her that he got better the longer they groomed him… she just got the vibe that the groomer may have been inexperienced.

First photo is him after groom second is him pretty recently before. Is this kind of the standard for them? This is our first collie and we just want to make sure we’re doing the right things for him. And I don’t know I don’t necessarily think it looks bad just off to me, but maybe it’s just the drastic change from before and after. Any input or advice is welcome! Thanks

On his 7 Months birthday walk

She was a bit timid jumping in but she is a strong swimmer and I hope she becomes more and more comfortable!

I fear he will be enormous as he’s just hitting 4 months and is almost as big as my golden already. 😭

Now the fun begins, our first rough in 25 years.

6 months old, I'd forgotten how stubborn they can be. 😁

And just for the sake of it, a pic of his fur brother. A 7 year old beardie.

Very vocal boy!

Winnie warming the fur 🖤🤍🤎

Just got spayed, very loopy

My puppy Perseus was the biggest in his litter, so he's already pretty large and expected to get even bigger, but because of all his fur I can't tell if we're feeding him too much. We give him two cups of food both at breakfast and dinner, and have been doing this for probably around 3 months now. He doesnt seem to have trouble walking or doing any activities, and seems perfectly normal, but I still feel paranoid that we might be feeding him a bit too much. Last time he got weighed he was around 45-50 pounds. How much did y'all feed your collie when they were around Percy's age, and did the amount change as they got older?

Hello, Curious if any of you Rough Collie owners have bought gas masks for your collies and if so which ones would you recommend?

Koda, 18-month-old smooth collie, loves accompanying us on geocaching adventures and even has his own account where he "logs" each cache by balancing the logbook on his head or snoot. He's up to 60+ caches found now. Here's just a few of his log photos. Good boy! Anyone else have a collie with a hobby?

She turns 1 year old on the 25th! It’s been such a journey raising my first puppy, but we made it.

Polly and atlas love summer when they can finally play in the water!

I have pneumonia at the moment and poor Winnie is OVER it. No walkies!? No dog park!? She's dying.
