Kurzhaar-Collie

Elegant and uncomplicated, Collies with their lush coats are among the most well-known dogs. But who knows that there is also a short-haired Collie, recognized as a distinct breed for over 100 years? To fill this knowledge gap, a dedicated book has been created for the short-haired Collie. Since the short-haired Collie does not possess an excessive herding instinct or a strong hunting drive, he is the ideal family dog. Thanks to his pleasant nature and calm demeanor, he is versatile, whether in service to humans, as a reliable companion, or in various dog sports. Here you will find everything important about: - Origin and breed standard - Choosing the right puppy - Temperament and proper handling - Inheritance of colors and coat length - Health care and hereditary diseases, and much more. Claudia Schmidt published the first short-haired Collie book in 1991.
