ARE COLLIES NERVOUS OR SHY?
No. Most Collies are loving, outgoing animals that love people and have a zest for life. Collies should be a little reserved towards strangers, but to people they know they should be loving and outgoing. A shy, nervous Collie is not typical of the breed. Occasionally an older dog will be shy due to being in a previous home that was neglectful, and these animals can usually be brought around by love and good care.
