Goin' to the Dogs!

Beautiful dogs. I don't know my collie types well, but I guess being so clever and also physically capable as herders, agility is a natural sport for them. Are there smooth coated collies?

There are smooth (short-haired) collies but no smooth shelties. It was my sheltie that had such an aptitude for agility, and many shelties do well at this sport.

Herding ability is a bit diluted in collies due to blood of setters and borzois added in early on in breed development. I had only one collie out of 4 that displayed innate herding instincts. Border collies are a better bet for herding. It's in their DNA.
