Which Collies shed the least?

And while there are two varieties of Collie (smooth and rough), both shed about the same amount of fur throughout the year.

How do I get my Border Collie to stop shedding?

Brushing To Reduce Shedding You can't stop a Border collie from shedding. But you can take control of it with a simple routine. Brush your collie out three times a week with a pin brush or slicker brush. Personally I recommend a good slicker brush as it's more effective in removing loose hair and surface level mats.

Why do rough collies shed so much?

Rough collies are well known for their beautiful coat. It's large, it's luxurious, and it tends to shed a lot—so be prepared for a bit, or a lot, of fur on your furniture. They're double-coated, so the shedding lasts year-round with an especially impressive uptick when they “blow” their coats in the spring and fall.
