Originally from Scotland, the Smooth Coat Collie is the short-coated version of a Collie. The origin of the name ‘Collie’ is somewhat unclear. Speculation includes the name may have been taken from the name of a sheep breed commonly kept in the Highlands, known as the “Colley”. The name may have also come from an Anglo-Saxon word that meant “useful.” This idea speaks particularly to the gentle nature and intelligence of the breed and the way the Collie fills our hearts with pride and joy, whether working, playing or snuggling.
When Queen Victoria first saw the Collie at Scotland’s Balmoral Castle, it was the Smooth Collie she chose to bring back to her own royal kennel. Queen Victoria set the trends during her monarchy, many of which we still observe today; like white wedding dresses and indoor Christmas trees. It became fashionable to own Smooth Coat Collies and this was where we began to see the Collie transition from the role as a working dog on the farm in the pastures and beginning bred as pets and beautiful show dogs in the conformation ring.
The Smooth Coat Collie earrings with Ram in Body is sleek and sporting, much like the breed itself. The ears are tipped forward, showing alertness. The central focus of these Smooth Collie earrings is the ram head slightly smiling in each center. The ram’s horn features texture with stripe detail, adding depth and interest to the overall design. The Smooth Coat of these Collie earrings includes the Collie’s tail resting in the neutral position.
