Wow - he is a big, handsome boy. 😄

gorgeous

Good looking fellow and well cared for.

What a handsome boy.

Oh, he is gorgeous! Nice to “see“ you, Faron!

Very nice What breed is he?

Beautiful dog and a gorgeous coat too.

He’s so handsome and big! 🥰

Is he a collie?

Hi all!!

Ya....Finn is a "Rough Collie"...aka the old "Lassie" breed. It's the official AKC Breed-name. The other 2 breed-names are the "Bearded", & "Smooth" I believe.

What a nice looking fellow! And so happy.

He's beautiful. I love big dogs with soft, long coats. We live with Australian Shepherds.

Oh, thank goodness Finn is a fabulous dog. When I first started reading, I thought you had a 9 month old grandson who weighed 70 lbs. 😁

Faron he is a gorgeous BIG guy!

I grew up with a Collie. You rarely see the breed these days.

The dog of my dreams!

He's a beauty!

He LOVES kissing everybody!!! I don't think he's met anyone who ISNT a "new friend" !!

I think he's maybe gonna be a Puppy Romeo!🥰😇

What a beautiful boy. You don't see collies much around these days, but I hope to see more.

So handsome!

Lucky Pooch! He found someone to take care of ALL THAT fur! 😂 Totally gorgeous!

Does he shed like my Shepherd mixes ... they only shed twice per year, but each time it lasts six months! Often told joke at the German Shepherd rescue forums! 😂

He is truly a beautiful boy! Lucky dog!

Growing up we had neighbors with a beautiful collie like that. Nice dog!

His coat is magnificent!

Oh my heart….he is a beauty. Like seagrass, we have Aussies and one is a ”black tri” like your Finn.. my favorite coloring. We all love pooch pics, so now you might pup in , uh, pop in more often.😁

"Pupp-ing" in, as Martinca suggested!

Late this summer. Notice the crossy-paws!

Upside-down Goofball this summer! Loves chilling by the a/c vents....

And this spring, a littler Pup-tato! 🥰😇

Lastly.....this one may be "too much" for some of you. Little Finn, on his first day here this early April, at 3 month's old! 🥰🥰🥰

Have pity, Faron… now THAT’ is going to far.

He's adorable!

"Holy Moly!
He's 840 months old now, & a healthy ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY lbs.!!! Took this pic this afternoon. I think it's a good shot. People stop & comment about him on walks, from their cars, etc.
I think he's handsome too, but....wow! Maybe I should call some movie producers! 😁🤪🤔"

How do I get women to post like this about me, please?

I love the crossed paws. So ladylike. It is nice to see a different breed for a change. All I see are golden, bulldogs and corgis. A reminder there are so many beautiful breeds.

Just concentrate on developing these attributes and women will love you, too:

"Rough Collies are known for their gentle, loyal, and affectionate temperament. They are intelligent and responsive, thriving on companionship and often getting along well with children and other animals."

Good luck!

Haha, Oly. As for seeing more Collies, be careful what you wish for. As a breed

becomes more in demand backyard breeding explodes degrading the look and health of the breed. Wise Australian Shepherd owners fought their breeds inclusion into thr AKC. Their popularity grew, the tinkering began. Minerature Aussies are fine, although many …I just cannot look. I’d swear some were mated with pomeraniens. Ugh. Only the coloring is Aussie. Forgive the ot rant. Back to beautiful Fin .

More puppy pics you say...😇🥰🤪

So "sorry"......😋🤓

Beautifull boy!!

As a child, my aunt gave me the book Lad a Dog, by Albert Payson Terhune. This began my love of collie’s. Having no say in my first dog, my father chose a little wirehaired terrior for our family. He was my adored constant companion for 16 years. But my desire for a collie never left. Marrying rather young …our ”first child” was a dog. My dh, a westerner, had grown up with a farm collie, also called an English collie. I’d never seen an Australian Shepherd , but dh was happy see his old collie in this new to us breed. This was many years ago! She, my “first child “ lived to be 18. Four fuzzy Aussies followed her.

On man, Faron, apologies! I did not mean to hijack or go on so long! Seeing your Finn …well, its all his fault.

One of our present Aussies , though smaller and not quite so glamorous as Finn , is also, a black tri and does resemble him a bit. Her red sister resembles dh’s collie the most. Dogs! I do love them!
