Is there a breed of miniature English Collie?

From what I understand........
I once had a Sheltie.

They look exactly like a miniature Lassie. Their hair takes a lot of grooming! The ones I have been around could be sneaky nippers, (like many herding dogs.)
Yes I had a tri color, my friend had a blue merle. True that they are intelligent, mine was shy also. He would sneak up behind and bite strangers in the back of the leg.Deepsouth":1ovhibzs said:branguscowgirl":1ovhibzs said:They do not always bark a lot.

It also said that they are very intelligent, great with kids and people they know but a little shy around strangers but they shed bad. BCG, have you ever had one or been around them much?

That would be a cool cross. I have seen corgis bred with some breeds that made the most interesting cool dogs, my favorite was a corgi/weimahappens theife wanted that dog bad lol.
There sure are some cute crosses. I would check all the humane societies.Angus Cowman":3ny45urr said:They are breeding Corgis and heelers they call them Cowboy Corgis

Ours are loaded with small dogs. The heart breakers are the ones that the owners have passed away.
Well then a Sheltie might be what you want. They do have strong herding/heeling tendencies. And are protective.Deepsouth":2kb2lduw said:branguscowgirl":2kb2lduw said:There sure are some cute crosses.

The thing is when I was a boy I had a collie but I'm not sure what it was. It was colored like an English but I don't remember it being as big as an English. It may have been a Shetland. It would work cows, tree squirrel, bay snakes and run deer. What more could a boy ask for. It would fight other male dogs and was pretty protective at the house.
