I didn’t like the Brittany until I found out his name is Kyle. That’s a Grade A dog name right there

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: yes. coat: usually. colours: sure
  • from the BORDER REGIONS OF SCOTLAND
  • you'll know
