Nikki is a 1 year old collie. She is very playful and doesn't bark. She's very friendly and is the best! My mom got her for my birthday because I've asked her for a dog for 3 years. I got her from a pound. Tasha, age 13, Wisconsin USA

I have a blue merle puppy! I got him yesterday. He is a full collie and is so cute. My cat was scared of him at first but now I think that she knows that he would not hurt a fly!!! Right now he is sleeping on my lap. His name is Teddy! Victoria, age 13, Western Australia

My collie is the best herding dog (and pet) in the world! Her name is Lassie. She is 11 months old. Charklene, age 13, Texas

I have one Collie. And two other dogs. My Collie is a full breed Collie. Her name is Daisy. She likes to play fetch and soccer. I recently have to get a new soccer ball because she popped it. She likes to play chase. The Collie is tan and white. She is a very pretty dog.

She likes to get squirted with the water hose. She will bark at it when I turn the water on and she will run back and forth until she gets squirted. Then she tries to bite the water - it is funny. She is a cool, funny dog. I was outside in the front yard playing fetch one day and a car stopped and asked how we got our dog to do that. We told him that we trained her. Leigh, age 15, Texas USA

I have two Collies at home, their names are Nikki and Angel. Nikki is 2 years old and Angel is 11 months. They are both very energetic, but Nikki is the more lazy one. Angel is O.K., but she also loves to chase all types of things. She is one active pup! Abby, age 13, New Jersey USA

I have one Collie. His name is Rusty. Rusty is a sable Collie, he likes to play ball and learn new tricks. His birthday is May 1. Loretta, age 15, Indiana USA

My Collies are a blue merle and a tricolor. The tricolor is very energetic and the blue merle is a lazy lay who is funny. :) Alex, age 14, Ontario Canada

I have a white-factored sable female that is going be a show dog. We hope to put a CH. (Championship) on her this year. Jesse, age 17, Michigan USA

His name is Quincy and he is one year old. We got him for Christmas last year from Grandpa and Grandma. They have a Collie, too. His name is Charlie. Quincy likes to play fetch and play with kids. My mom and dad say he thinks he's a kid himself. Freddy, age 6, Michigan USA

Once I fell in a water rushing river with a very bad current. I was going to drown. Then my golden Collie, Friskey, came running and saved me and we didn't train him to do any thing like that. We were all stunned. So my mom and I took him to a doctor and they said he was psychic. And now he's a life saver. Sarah, Age 14 Michigan USA

My dog's name is Laxess. She's a Collie. She is tan and white. She has a white star on her forehead. She is three years old and is trained excellent. I love her. I don't know what I'll do when she dies. She is going to Michigan state finals! So see ya there! Katie, Age 13 Michigan USA

Hi, I have two dogs. One is a Collie named Cory and the other is a Bull Terrier named Delta. Cory is nine years old. We have had Cory since she was three. She is so sweet. I was around six when we got her. Her breeder had her up for adoption. We wanted her! When we came over, there was this evil boy! He was around my age and he kept throwing sand in my eyes. It really hurt! He also threw books at Cory. So in a way we saved her. These are the best two dogs ever! PS I am getting a Sheltie puppy very son! Wish me luck, I will need it! Kelsey, Age 10 New York USA

I have two sled dogs. I was 5th out of 9 in my first sled dog race. My dogs ran really well that day. I was happy with my dogs, but I was the laugh of the race. One of my dogs is a Collie cross, and everyone called him Lassie! He may not be a "normal" sled dog, but he is my best friend. He has pulled 600 pounds at a weight pull! My other dog is an Alaskan Husky. Melanie, Age 15 Minnesota USA

There was a dog named Maggie. She was a Collie. She had brown, tan, white, and black fur. Everyday she would go to the tennis court and play tennis. Her master was Mary. She always slept with Mary. One day she did not eat her meal. There was something wrong. She went to the swimming pool. She saw someone drowning. She jumped into the pool and saved a young girl. Maggie was a hero! Eilis, Age 9 Michigan USA

My Collie is named Clancey and he is the best Collie ever. He keeps us from playing in the street by pinching our heels and he catches all our balls, hockey pucks and other toys. He sleeps with us in our beds and eats breakfast when we do. He also walks us to the bus stop and meets us there when we come home. Clancey is the best friend of my whole family. Sarah, Age 13 New Jersey USA

I live in Louisiana with my dad and sisters, but we spend each summer with my mom and stepdad in Pennsylvania. They have four Collies (the big ones) and I love them all! My favorite thing to do with Rascal (dad) is wrestle. He turns his head when you call him the "Great Googly-Moogly". He loves to play tug with his rope toy and will fetch it for hours.

Weebles (son) is a snuggler. He is the biggest, but he doesn't know it. Daisy Mae (daughter) talks all the time even when we are trying to watch TV. She loves to bring in sticks and rocks...my mom doesn't like that. Pippie (mom) is the most spoiled of all. She gets to go into parts of the house that are off limits to the rest of them. She gets mad if any of the others disturb her while she is laying down with my stepdad (she thinks he belongs only to her). She loves pizza and anything else with tomato sauce. She puts on quite a dramatic act if you don't share your pizza with her. She often steals things off the counter and has taught Weebles to do the same.

Weebles and Daisy are only eight months old. There were eight puppies all together, but my mom said the other six all got really good homes. Mom says we need a bigger house. It gets very crowded in the summer with four big dogs and four big kids...I am the youngest. My stepdad says that we all cost too much, but he spoils us anyway. I love my summers with my mom and stepdad and the four mischievous Collies from the "Long-nose pack". Josh, Age 12 Louisiana and Pennsylvania USA

Solo (Collie cross), my dog, is really old now and we rescued her from the Battersea Dogs Home, but our favorite thing that we do together (when she's not asleep, that is) I get my hoop and some dog biscuits and she loves jumping though my hoop. Clare, Age 12 England

Having two dogs in the house is the best it can be. A mutt and the Collie in my house are the best of friends. They have opened their world to me. For them to be so kind I am doing the best to be kind to them. I send my love to Merlin and Katie from me the Tippy who loves you. Tippy, age 13 Wisconsin USA
