Families searching for the best dog that will fit into their large family and busy lifestyle may want to talk to their local veterinarian Terre Haute, IN about the Collie. The Collie is best known for the role it played on the classic television series and cinematic movies titled Lassie. Collies were originally bred as herd dogs. They are intelligent, easy to train, loyal, and protective of their family members.

Collies love to play and would make great playmates for your children. They require minimal care including routine exercise and grooming.  They are always ready to learn something new and they are extremely eager to please. Your vet may be able to recommend a local Collie rescue program or local breeder from which you can adopt or purchase your Collie. Visit this website for more information.
