The figure stands in a poised and alert posture, with the head held high and ears perked, conveying the intelligence and gentle demeanor of the Collie. The face is expressive, with keen, bright eyes and a slightly open mouth that adds a lifelike touch. This Papo Collie figure is a faithful representation of the breed.

The Papo Collie measures approximately 3.75 inches.

The Collie is a distinctive and popular dog breed known for its striking appearance, intelligence, and gentle temperament. Originating from Scotland, Collies were initially bred for herding and protecting livestock, particularly sheep. Their keen intelligence, agility, and strong herding instincts made them indispensable to shepherds. There are two main varieties of Collies: the Rough Collie, known for its long, lush coat, and the Smooth Collie, which has a shorter, dense coat.

Collies are renowned for their loyalty, friendly nature, and their strong bond with humans, which has made them excellent family pets and therapy dogs. Their gentle and patient demeanor makes them particularly good with children. Collies are highly trainable due to their intelligence and eagerness to please, excelling in obedience training and various canine sports such as agility, herding trials, and rally obedience.

One of the most famous Collies is Lassie, a character from a series of books, movies, and television shows that began in the 1940s. Lassie’s portrayal as a heroic and loyal dog who could always save the day has significantly influenced the popular image of the breed, highlighting their intelligence, bravery, and unwavering devotion.
