Plural of collie; a breed of medium to large herding dogs originally from Scotland, known for their intelligence and long fur.
From collie, possibly from Scottish 'colley' or 'coll' meaning black or dark, referring to the dog's coloring, though etymology is uncertain.
Collies have an incredible ability to read human body language and intentions—shepherds relied on them to understand complex commands from a distance across mountainous terrain, making them one of the most responsive dog breeds.
