Both love to please and to learn. My collies learned so quickly, and so does Tommy. Rough collies definitely take more grooming, and heaven forbid they run through a cocklebur patch LOL. I have actually had that happen with my collies. . Collies aren't really very territorial but goldens are even less so. I think goldens are generally a bit more emotionally stable than collies overall. My Cody was pretty stable but Willie was very sensitive and easily upset by any change in routine. He was also ultra sensitive to my moods.
Mine are the opposite! LOL!
Like I said, Daisy has her moments when all she wants to do is cuddle with you, but Molly looooves to just snuggle with you on the couch, and lay in your lap. Of course, she doesn't understand she's a 70 pound beast with hair.
Molly's also very sensitive. She's been shy since we first picked her up at around 5 months old, but she's made dramatic improvements. When we first went to the breeder's house, (who by the way, sucked ) Molly was kept in a little metal cage with concrete, with a dog house in it. She wouldn't want to come any closer, and everytime we tryed to pet her, she flinced and went to the corner. Of course, we couldn't leave her there...knowing what her breeder did her then, or in the past. So, she came home with us. She also gets very, very, anxious if Daisy isn't in the room with her, or she's left alone somewhere. I was training with her today out in the back, and Molly was crying, barking, whimpering, and jumping on the glass door.
But, I agree personality is very similar.

Anyway...sorry for blabbing.

Brooke,
I'll try to get some new ones up of both of them this weekened. I've had Finals this week, so I haven't had time too.
