What does COLLIE mean in Scrabble?
noun
A breed of long-haired dog, originally developed in Scotland for herding sheep, known for its narrow head and thick coat.
A collie has a long, pointed muzzle and a dense double coat that once protected it from harsh weather while working outdoors on hill farms. Shepherds bred the collie mainly for intelligence and stamina, prizing its ability to gather and guide flocks with minimal direction. The breed later became popular as a family pet, partly through famous fictional collies shown as loyal and clever companions. Rough-coated and smooth-coated varieties both exist, though the long-haired form is the more familiar image of the breed.
