Another PT dog...Par's Oz! Love him and I am hooked on smooth collies. Just a few weeks ago I was with my parents in the car when all of a sudden I saw a smooth collie running around it's yard with two other dogs. I actually screamed out "OMG...A smooth collie, STOP". You can bet that I startled my folks. Dad hit the brakes though and even backed up for me..lol. We were on a back road without much traffic. Dad hadn't even heard of a smooth collie. I have never seen one in person and was so excited. By the time we backed up the dogs were not there in the fenced in yard . So of course the next couple times we have went by we go very slow so I can get a glimpse but we haven't caught the dogs outside again. I'm pretty sure it was a smoothie and I will be slowing down every time I go that way .
