0:14
preparing for a winter hibernation and
0:16
you'll be left wondering if you adopted

0:20
find Fur in your food your clothes and
0:23
possibly even in your coffee forget
0:25
about having a clean house you'll be
0:27
living in a cozy fur blanket two the
0:30
intelligence trap Collies are known for
0:32
their intelligence but that's a
0:33
double-edged sword sure they can learn
0:36
tricks faster than you can say fetch but
0:38
they're also smart enough to outsmart
0:39
you you think you're training them no no
0:43
they're training you to throw the ball
0:44
on command whether you want to or not
0:46
you'll end up in a game of fetch that
0:48
lasts longer than any marathon three the
0:51
exercise requirement let's talk about
0:53
exercise owning a collie is like having
0:55
a personal trainer who never lets you
0:57
rest these dogs need more exercise eyes
1:00
than most humans can handle if you think
1:02
one walk around the block will Tire them
1:03
out think again they'll be ready for
1:05
round two while you're gasping for
1:07
breath you'll find yourself running
1:09
marathons just to keep up four the
1:11
velcro dog syndrome Collies are known
1:13
for their loyalty which translates into
1:15
what I like to call velcro dog syndrome
1:18
they want to be with you all the time
1:20
like a shadow that refuses to leave your
1:22
side want to take a shower expect your
1:24
colleague to sit outside the door
1:26
staring at you like you've betrayed them
1:28
it's sweet until it becomes suffocating
1:31
five The Barking Brigade and then
1:33
there's barking Collies are alert and
1:35
will bark at anything that moves
1:37
squirrels leaves or even that suspicious
1:40
looking cloud in the sky you might think
1:42
you've adopted a dog or an alarm system
1:44
that never shuts off your neighbors will
1:46
know your dog's name before they know
1:47
yours and they might not be too happy
1:49
about it six The Grooming commitment
1:52
let's not forget grooming those
1:54
beautiful long coats require maintenance
1:56
lots of it you'll spend more time
1:58
brushing your collie than actually
2:00
enjoying their company and if you skip a
2:02
day congratulations you've just created
2:04
a new breed the matted mess it's like
2:07
trying to untangle Christmas lights
2:09
after they've been in storage for too
2:10
long seven the food critic when it comes
2:14
to food Collies can be picky eaters you
2:16
might find yourself experimenting with
2:18
Gourmet dog food only for them to look
2:20
at you as if you served them cardboard
2:22
what is this slop I demand something
2:24
more refined prepare for culinary
2:26
Adventures as you try to figure out what
2:28
will actually make it pass their
2:30
Discerning pallet eight the separation
2:33
anxiety Collies can suffer from
2:34
separation anxiety faster than you can
2:36
say goodbye leave them alone for too
2:39
long and expect an emotional reunion
2:41
worthy of an Oscar nomination when you
2:43
return home they'll act as if you've
2:45
been gone for years complete with
2:47
dramatic whining and jumping that could
2:48
rival any Broadway performance nine the
2:52
training challenge training a Colley can
2:54
feel like trying to teach calculus to a
2:56
goldfish frustrating and ultimately
2:58
pointless if not done right they're
3:00
intelligent but also incredibly stubborn
3:02
when they want to be you'll find
3:03
yourself negotiating with your dog over
3:05
treats like it's some sort of treaty
3:07
agreement if I give you this treat will
3:09
you sit no how about two treats 10 the
3:13
social butterfly Collies thrive on
3:15
social interaction and love meeting new
3:17
people and pets but here's the catch if
3:20
they don't get enough socialization they
3:22
can become aloof or overly protective
3:24
turning into little furry bodyguards who
3:26
think they need to protect their
3:27
territory from the mailman or that
3:29
innocent passer by 11 the health
3:31
considerations Collies are generally
3:34
healthy dogs but they're not Invincible
3:36
they can suffer from certain health
3:37
issues like hip dysplasia or eye
3:39
problems so regular vet checkups are
3:41
essential you'll become well acquainted
3:43
with your veterinarian not just because
3:45
of routine visits but because your
3:46
collie will likely find ways to get into
3:48
trouble 12 the unconditional love
3:51

3:53
most important point the unconditional
3:56
