The Rough Collie is one of the most recognizable collie breeds, largely due to the Lassie franchise.
The Welsh Sheepdog is a landrace working type, similar to the ancestors of many other collies.

Although Border Collie has its own distictive look, it is clear that it derives from the same ancestors as other collie breeds.
