Nicole,
I do know of a couple of individuals who have smooth or short haired
collie's. They make excellent guides; much like how Doberman's and Boxer's
were described in a previous thread in how they are constantly observing
their environment. These were both through Leader Dog.

Has anyone on the list ever had a Collie or Australian Shepherd guide?
