Hello! I am planning to get my first dog soon, and I think I've narrowed the breed that fits best for me down to the Scottish Collie. I live in a city without a yard, which I know is not ideal for this breed. But research has led me to believe that collies have lower exercise requirements than the other herding breeds, and I of course plan to give the dog the exercise it needs (I live by jogging paths and dog parks). I am self-employed with flexible hours and am in the apartment most of the day. Am I asking for trouble or should I be okay?
Secondly, I'm having trouble deciding between the rough or the smooth collie. I feel like the rough collie's coat will attract all of the dirt on the streets, but I currently live with a roommate who has a siberian husky and that dog seems quite clean despite receiving a bath maybe once a year. But maybe I'm wrong?
I would love to hear your input! Thanks!
