Cosheltie Activity Requirements

The Scottish Collie is a popular herding dog that originated on the Isle of Skye. They are intelligent, loyal, and sensitive. While they are not a high energy dog, they do require regular exercise to maintain their health and happiness. They are best suited to homes with a fenced-in backyard where they can spend time with you. A 30-45 minute walk each day, combined with some playtime in the yard, is the perfect amount to keep a Scottish Collie happy. While they do love to be with their family, they also like to be alone at times. This is not a high-energy dog, but they do crave human contact.
