Some dogs are bred for life in the snow, and Collies have the coat for it, a woolly underlayer, and many layers over it, which makes grooming them so daunting, hardly anyone seems to own a Collie anymore. These dogs hate hot, humid weather, but love life in the cold. Prince was born in the snow to working parents who live in a barn and herd dairy cows. The seller's disclaimer: "These are not indoor dogs; they are working dogs; PETA activists need not contact me." Our Collies are indoor/outdoor. They have Iditarod sled dog boots, which always go missing during a walk.
