The Collie comes in four colors: sable (think Lassie), tricolor (black with white markings and tan shadings), blue merle (silvery blue and black), and white (predominately white with markings). The amount of grooming necessary for the Collie depends on the variety. Overall, the Collie is a clean dog, with minimal doggie odor. The long, full coat of the Rough Collie needs thorough brushing twice a week (even more frequently to keep her looking Lassie-like).
You already know more than you think. Check out these purebreds: Scooby-Doo is a Great Dane; Frasier's Eddie is a Jack Russell terrier; and Lassie is a collie. To determine the breeds in a mixed dog, look for something exclusive to a purebred. Although you might not be 100 percent correct without a DNA test, you can get close.
