Collie Activity Level
Are you looking for a highly active dog? Or maybe a couch potato dog that doesn’t like to do much but lay on the couch all day? Are you looking at a collie? What activiy level do collies have?
Collies are not couch potato dogs. They like their activity. Of course they are not border collies and do not really like to go all day long, they do like their down time. But for the most part collies enjoy being active. They like to herd, hike, camp, go for walks, and other fun activities. So if you are looking for a collie, you’ll want to consider the collie’s activity level before you adopt.
If you think you need some Miracle burn for yourself, maybe getting up and walking would be better!
But SOME collies are couch potatoes! Of course, for the health of the collie, exercise is a must, and it wouldn’t hurt the couch ‘tater owner to get out there and walk their best friend. As stated above though, most collies require plenty of exercise to keep healthy and their minds occupied and out of trouble. An unexercised collie will create their own games to play and you may not like the consequences! So get out there and play with your collie! Take them for a good long walk- you’ll both appreciate it!

August 4th, 2007 at 8:47 pmI unfortunately cannot walk my girl as much as I used to. She tires easily now and her hip pains her (arthritis). But we get out often for short walks and she is OK with that. Her favorite thing right now is barking out the window when we are driving somewhere- at what, I have NO idea! Just high spirits I guess! I let her get away with so much anymore…..
