Actually, it is a myth that dogs are colorblind! In the past, it was assumed that since dogs weren’t able to distinguish between as many colors as humans, that they therefore only saw in black and white. However, recent scientific studies has shown that dogs do have a varied range of colored vision although it’s not as wide as the human’s color spectrum.

Besides the general dog stuff (such as food,
shelter, fresh water, companionship, and exercise), a collie owner would
need to know that collies are sometimes very "nippy" due to their herding
instincts, they love to "mouth" things and put their long lovely noses
everywhere! Some collies have also been reported to have a habit of
herding everything they see - small animals, children, other pets, etc.
Because of the job they were bred to do (herd sheep) they also are a very
vocal breed, given to incessant barking if not properly trained. With
proper guidance from a loving owner though, these collie traits should not
be a huge problem.
