Rough and Smooth Collie

Many Americans call Rough Collies 'collies', which is confusing to Brits, who know that 'collies' are of course Border Collies! Rough Collies are also called 'Scottish' or 'Scotch' collies, or even 'Lassie' collies. I have included a Smooth Collie here as well. Rough Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs are often difficult to tell apart on stamps. Sometimes the stamps have the breeds labeled, other times you have to guess. Please check out Dogs S-Z for Shetland Sheepdogs.  

Shown here, Collie pups from Azerbaijan £0.55, a very handsome Collie from Cuba, at £0.65, and East German Rough Collie jumping, at £0.45, a Rough Collie from Nicaragua (mint) at £0.65, and a Smooth Collie from Afghanistan (mint) at £0.65. I also have the minisheet from this set (not depicted here), showing a Rough Collie, at £0.95 mint.

More Rough Collies available, please ask.
