 Rough Collie Intelligence: The Rough Collie's intelligence ranks 16th among dog breeds worldwide, making it a very smart and outstanding dog breed. The Rough Collie is a star among soulful dogs. Some dogs are loved for their small and beautiful appearance, while others gain their owners’ trust through their empathetic spirit. The Rough Collie obviously belongs to the latter. From ancient herding dogs to protagonists frequently appearing in films and TV shows, its alertness, intelligence, and diligence have left a deep impression on people.

 Rough Collie Affection Level: Although Rough Collies are not as clingy as Border Collies, they are still quite affectionate. As they grow, they develop deeper feelings for their owners and will become somewhat dependent, liking to follow their owners around at all times. However, they are very sensible dogs; when their owners are working or busy, they quietly stay aside and will never disturb them. Such intelligent and well-behaved dogs make many dog lovers unable to resist.

Rough Collie Grooming: Use a firm brush starting from the fur cluster at the bottom of the hind legs. Lift the coat, leaving only a few fine hairs, and brush downwards and outwards to remove all mats and tangles. Then, pull some hairs from the lifted part until this section is completely combed through. Other external fur is groomed the same way to completely eliminate mats, making the fur clear, smooth, and neat. When brushing, the comb teeth should only touch the inner layer of the skin lightly to avoid scratching. Although this step is not complicated, it is time-consuming and repetitive, causing both owner and dog to get tired and bored. Therefore, it is recommended to perform grooming in segments.
