okay so i'm not an expert and there are a couple of different collies but:
australian shepherd:
- medium-large
- pretty fluffy
- may or may not have a tail (may or may not be on purpose)
- ears supposed to be nice and sophisticatedly folded
- comes in blacks and reds and tris and merles
- sh jusht a little chonky maybe
- Australian but in the sense that it's American and has really nothing to do with Australia at all as far as anyone can tell
collie:
- medium-large with a side of large
- either smooth coat or stupidly fluffy, anything in between is illegal
- long tail (should reach the hock)
- ears meant to stand on top of the head maybe with a fashionable little forward tip
- comes in brown (sable) and black tricolour + merle
- legs legs what's on the menu legs legs
- longest snout you've seen in a while
- British
shetland sheepdog:
- what i have (allegedly)
- see: collie, but 1/4 of the size (unless something went wrong)
- but calling it a mini collie is a federal crime
- the fluffier the better. needs more fluff.
- colors are sable and black tri- and bicolour as well as merle
- very sweet but should have capacity for evil to keep things spicy
- Shetlandish (Scottish) (British) (twice removed)
border collie:
- insane<3
- rectangular-esque
- sneaky bastard
- size: approximate. ears: yes. tail: most likely. coat: usually. colours: sure
- from the BORDER REGIONS OF SCOTLAND
- you'll know
