I am owned by a pretty,
smooth-coated, The Collie was bred as a working dog, and it is believed that the common sheepdog of the eastern lowlands of Scotland is its ancestors. Several other breeds have contributed to the Collie of today. Two contributors were the Irish Setter and the "Ban" dog that is now extinct. At one time the dog was called the "coally" dog because of its predominate black color. This ideal sheepdog of the early 1800's caught the devotion and love of the young Queen Victoria of England and was catapulted into popularity around the world. Once Queen Victoria became a patron of the breed, the Collie quickly gained notice in the show ring. Both the smooth (that's mine) and rough-coated Collies share the same even temperament and ability to learn. His nature is affectionate and loving. Few dogs can be trained as easily as the Collie.
The Siberian Husky is a medium-sized working dog, quick and light on his feet and free and graceful in action. His moderately compact and well furred body, erect ears and brush tail suggest his Northern heritage. His characteristic gait is smooth and seemingly effortless. He performs his original function in harness most capably, carrying a ligth load at a moderate speed over great distances. His body proportions and form reflect this basic balance of power, speed and endurance. The males of the Siberian Husky breed are masculine but never coarse; the bitches are feminine but without weaknesss of structure. In proper condition, with muscle firm and well developed, the Siberian Husky does not carry excess weight. The Siberian Husky never appears so heavy or coarse as to suggest a freighting animal; nor is he so light and fragile as to suggest a sprint-racing animal. In both sexes the Siberian Husky gives the appearance of being capable of great endurance. The most important breed characteristics of the Siberian Husky are medium size, moderate bone, well balanced proportions, ease and freedom of movement, proper coat, pleasing head and ears, correct tail, and good disposition. The Siberian Husky never appears so heavy or coarse as to suggest a freighting animal; nor is he so light and fragile as to suggest a sprint-racing animal. In both sexes the Siberian Husky gives the appearance of being capable of great endurance. The characteristic
temperament of the Siberian Husky is friendly and gentle, but also alert
and outgoing. He does not display the possessive qualities of the guard
dog, nor is he overly suspicious of strangers or aggressive with other
dogs. Some measure of reserve and dignity may be expected in the mature
dog. His intelligence, tractability, and eager disposition make him an
agreeable companion and willing worker.
