Collie Grooming
The Collie needs to be groomed daily. 
08
This is a long haired breed with fur that is either flat or somewhat curly, therefore controlled pet hair removal is important. In order to avoid "matting" of the fur simply brush the dog for a few minutes each day.
When brushing your dog, follow the direction of his fur. Start by brushing his head gently, then work your way down. Your Collie will look forward to his daily gentle brushing.
Even with daily brushing, you will find that this breed sheds almost year round. You may need to vacuum daily. Some breeds shy away from grooming, you may want to keep a few small dog treats on hand during this process to keep him relaxed.
It is best if you do NOT shave this dog in the summer time. The Collie's fur is designed to protect him from overheating. Although his fur offers him some natural protection from the sun it is best not to leave any dog outside for too long in the very hot weather.
