&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The muzzle should be of fair length, tapering to the nose, and must not show weakness or be snipy or lippy.  No matter the color of the dog might be, the nose has to be black.  Your teeth should be of great size, level and sound; really slight unevenness is permissible.  The jaws sterile cut and strong.  The eyes are an essential characteristic, and give expression to the dog; they should be of medium size, set somewhat obliquely, of almond shape, and of a brown shade except in the case of merles, when the eyes are frequently (one or both) white and blue or china; saying full of intellect, with a quick alert look when listening.  The ears should be small and reasonably wide at the base, and put not too near together but on the top of the skull rather than on the face of the mind.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;In general character he's a lithe active dog, his deep chest showing lung power, his neck strength, his sloping shoulders and well bent hocks indicating speed, and his saying high intelligence.   In a couple of words, a Collie must reveal endurance, activity, and intellect, with free and accurate activity.  In height dogs should be 22 inches.  To 24 ins.  At the shoulders, bitches 20 ins.  To 22 ins.   The smooth collie simply differs from the coarse in its coat, which ought to be hard, compact and quite smooth.    &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The neck should be muscular, strong and of fair length, and somewhat arched.    The puppy should be straight in front.  The fore-legs should be straight and muscular, neither in nor out at elbows, with a fair amount of bone; the forearm somewhat fleshy, the pasterns demonstrating flexibility .  The hind-legs ought to be muscular at the thighs, clean and sinewy below the hocks, with well bent stifles.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;At the shows this kind of dog is always at the peak of the class.  He's thought to be the most tractable, and is surely the most agile.  Second to this kind in favour is your smooth-coated selection, a really hard, useful [https://www.hotpettoy.com/product-category/dog/dog-toys/ puppy toys], well adapted for hill work and generally very fleet of foot.  He isn't so sweet in temper because the black and white, and so is slow to make friends.  There is not a more  graceful and beautiful dog to be seen than the series Collie of the current period.  Produced from the older working kind, he is now practically a distinct breed.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The Collie dog makes an excellent sporting dog, and may be trained to do the job of the Pointer and the Setter, as well as that of the Water Spaniel and the Retriever.  He can be trained to perform the duties of different breeds.   He is smart at searching, having an excellent nose, is a fantastic vermin-killer, and a most loyal watch, guard, and companion.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;There should just be a small depression at stop.  The width of skull depends upon upon joint length of skull and muzzle; and also the whole must be considered in relation to the size of the dog.  The cheek shouldn't be complete or prominent.  &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Little is known with certainty of the origin of this Collie, but his adorable and his external appearance would appear to indicate a relationship with the wild dog.  Buffon was of view he was the true dog of character, the inventory and model of the entire canine species.  He considered that the Sheepdog superior in wisdom and instinct to other breeds, and that, with a character in which education has relatively little share, he is the only animal born perfectly trained for the support of man.&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
