Dogs of merle color frequently have either one or both eyes blue and white or china colored.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Ears:<\/span>\u00a0 Ears should be small, moderately wide at the base and placed not too close together on the top of the head, nor too much to the side of the head. \u00a0The ears are covered with short soft hair longer towards the base and carried semi-erect when alert with tips slightly drooping; at other times they are thrown back and buried in the frill.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Neck:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0The neck should be muscular, powerful, of fair length, and somewhat arched.'<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Body:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Should be rather long, with well sprung ribs, the chest deep and narrow in front, but of fair breadth behind the shoulders, which should be oblique. \u00a0The loins should be slightly arched. \u00a0The dog should be straight in front.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Legs<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Forelegs:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Should be straight and muscular, and neither in nor out at the elbows with a fair amount of bone, the forearm somewhat fleshy.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Hindlegs:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Should be muscular at the thighs, clean and sinewy, below the hocks very sinewy, and hocks well bent, pasterns long, and light in bone, with well bent stifles.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Feet:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Should be oval in shape, the soles well padded, and toes well arched and close. \u00a0The hind feet are less arched, and the hocks well let down and powerful.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Tail:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Should be moderately long, carried low when the dog is quiet, with a slight upward swirl at the end, and may be carried gaily when the dog is excited, but not over the back. \u00a0The tail is carried almost straight out when running.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Coat:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0This is a very important point. \u00a0The coat, except on the head and legs, should be abundant, the outer coat harsh to the touch, the inner coat soft and furry, and very close, so close, that it is difficult on parting the hair to see the skin. \u00a0The hair is very abundant round the neck and chest; this is termed the frill. \u00a0The mask is smooth, as also the ears at the tips, but they should carry more hair towards the base; the forelegs are slightly feathered, the hind-legs\u00a0below the hocks are smooth. \u00a0Hair on tail is very profuse, and on the hips long and bushy.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">SMOOTH COATED<\/span><br \/>The Smooth Collie only differs from the Rough in its coat, which should be hard, dense, and quite smooth.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">ALL SCOTTISH COLLIES\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Color and Markings:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Are immaterial (except that solid white or red setter color are not desirable colors). \u00a0A nice showily marked dog is preferred.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Size:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0Dogs 22 inches to 24 inches at the shoulder, Bitches 20 to 22 inches.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Weight:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Dogs 45 lb.\u00a0to 65 lb., Bitches 40 lb.\u00a0to 55 lb.<br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">EVALUATION\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Faults:<\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Domed skull, a disproportionately large head which may be too wide or too heavy with too pronounced or too exaggerated a stop, high peaked occipital bone, heavy, pendulous or prick ears, weak jaws, narrow muzzle, full soft, staring, or light eyes, crooked legs, large flat or hare feet, curly or soft coat, heavily feather legs, cow hocks, short tail or brush carried right over the back, under or overshot mouth, white or solid red color.<br \/><br \/>Faults in movement include a crooked or heavy cloddish gait, with resulting lack of speed or agility. \u00a0<br \/>The Collie should single track when moving at a high speed yet not cross its feet. \u00a0The Collie should trot effortlessly with a floating trot. \u00a0Pacing instead of trotting with subsequent rolling action is a fault.\u00a0<\/span><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><strong><a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms;
