Schipeses are low shedding dogs, requiring minimal coat care.

Collies shed a lot of hair each year, so frequent brushing is essential for reducing shedding and maintaining coat health.

Avoid Schipeses as watchdogs - they're not effective.

Choose a Collie if you want a top-notch watchdog. This breed takes guarding seriously, and may not require much training, though obedience or guard dog training can improve their skills.
