[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Collies. When I was 9-? our family had a collie. Snotty, mean sort of dog that [b]never warmed up[/b] to me and did whatever it liked. Which was devastating as I had grown up watching Lassie on the tee-vee. It was my dad's dog. I took it personally that the dog never was warm to me and don't even remember noticing when it died sometime while I was away at college. Lassie indeed.  [/quote]

I have heard this about collies[/quote]

We’ve had collies for years and have one now.  The females tend to be more standoffish but all our males have been very affectionate and family-oriented, bonding with everyone in the family.  We currently have a large male collie, 1 year old, one of the sweetest, fun and gently playful, trainable and responsive dogs i’ve had.  When we’re in separate rooms, he’ll position himself in the middle of the hallway to be near all of us, until he can’t stand being away from us and will pick a person to be near.  [/quote]
Growing up, our neighbors down the street had a collie. That was the nicest most sociable dog in the neighborhood. Everybody loved him. I'll never own a Chesapeake Bay Retriever though. I've never met one that I liked.[/quote]

When I was young, maybe 6 or so, we spent the summer on my grandparent's farm.  A neighbor lent them a collie for a few weeks to do farm work.  The collie and I became fast friends.  One of my earliest memories is walking back down the lane to the house, with the dog holding my hand in his mouth, the sun setting behind us, creating a long shadow of me connected to the dog.  When it was time for him to go home they had to sit with me and explain that he didn't live there and needed to go back.  I remember being quite sad. [/quote]
