One of the most common questions people have about collies is about the hair: Yes, collies shed. "If you love a collie, you need to be prepared to either groom it yourself or take it to the groomer once or twice a month," Royds says. She suggests weekly brushing, and a bath and a brush-out once a month.

How do I get my collie to stop shedding?
You can't stop a Border collie from shedding. But you can take control of it with a simple routine. Brush your collie out three times a week with a pin brush or slicker brush. Personally I recommend a good slicker brush as it's more effective in removing loose hair and surface level mats.
