NO, collies and shelties are not the same because a collie is
much bigger than a sheltie and not as wild. and shelties are small
and don't grow to be very big dogs, and they are very energetic.
***Second answer: When I was younger, my family had a
Collie/Sheltie mix. Check the related link below for more info.

  • Collies and shelties are both descendants of border collies, but they're different dogs. Rough collies have a long, lustrous coat, while smooth collies have a much shorter coat. Shelties are formally called Shetland sheepdogs, and though they look like mini versions of rough collies, they're their own distinct breed.

  • Collies and Shetland sheepdogs are two different breeds  that have their own interesting history, temperament, and characteristics. There are two types of collies - rough and smooth - and both share the same temperament and size. The rough collie and sheltie share a similar appearance although they differ in size.
