They are beautiful dogs! I'm not a dedicated brusher so long haired dogs are out of the question for me. I have one of those pet mitts that I use on Radar but don't think they'd work on a long coat. In fact I need to find another one because the one I have has seen it's better days.
Everytime I see a Collie I think "Lassie...Where's Timmy? Did he fall into that well again?"
