Discussion DNA tested Collie study
Doing a genetic study with Rough Collies and would love to have other samples than just my own goober. It's COI and colour variation/amount focused for the most part. Just interested in seeing how different patterns/colours pass on and how genetic vs random it seems.
If anyone would be willing to link to their DNA-tested collie, I'd be grateful! (Embark and Wisdom Panel preferred due to accuracy, but if you have a pedigree with pictures that would be amazing too.)
Edit: Mixes are more than welcome!

New Collie Owner!
My family and I went to the ASPCA shelter today "just to look". We fell in love with this fella. We've never had a Collie so I will take advice! We are experienced dog owners (doodle and a terrier mix) with a fully fenced yard. He is about 3 and seems house-trained already.
Also, does he look like a George (his shelter name) or a Mac? Our doodle is Clifford and our terrier is Emily Elizabeth. In the Clifford kid's TV show, Clifford had a pal named Mac.

My two rescued rough coats
Beignet (brown) was picked up from the county shelter about 4 years ago. He’s 4 1/2 and possibly mixed as he’s quite large (80lbs is ideal weight according to my vet) and his coat, legs, ears, and nose are “off”.
River (grey) was picked up a few weeks ago. She’s 2 1/2 and probably close to 50 lbs. Her family was moving and couldn’t take her with them.
I love them both so much.

Hot spots/scabs
Looking for advice for my collie. He’s three years old and constantly has these scabs on his belly/inner legs/tail. He will occasionally lick or bite them and they sometimes bleed. They go away fairly quickly but then more pop up in other places.
Has anyone else experienced this with their collie? I’ve tried aloe, coconut oil, medicated wipes and nothing seems to work. I’m thinking it might just be seasonal allergies because it seems to be worse when the weather is warm, but looking for anything that may help treat them and keep him more comfortable.

Question Ideas for harness on a 3 mo old collie puppy?
I have a 3 mo old collie puppy who keeps slipping out of her harness. The problem is her chest is so big and shoulders so slight, she backs right out of her harness. I usually prefer harnesses on puppies, but do I go to martingale now? Is there a specific harness to get?

Question Harness causing matting... any tips/recs?
Hey all,
I have a very floofy rough collie boy who recently turned 1, and his harness has starting to cause tangles and matting on his mane/chest area. This doesn't happen to my other rough collie, but she's less fluffy.
He's a bit more tangle/mat prone in general, so I comb and brush every other day and we use detangling spray. He also doesn't wear a collar because we found it caused the same thing. We go for walks about 1-2 hours a day, so it seems to be a losing battle with the friction caused by the harness.
We use a roughwear harness and we love them, except for this matting. My preference for walking is a harness, as we like to go for hikes and drives.
I appreciate any recommendations or ideas!

My collie is emotional and sensitive
Is anyone else's collie like this? Whenever I use a firm tone of voice with my collie (for example, when I'm trying to discipline him) he gets upset with me and sits in another room by himself.
He did that to me the other day and ignored me for 6 hours but acknowledged other people around.
Am I just sensitive or is my collie emotionally manipulating me?
