Collies shed a lot of hair each year, so frequent brushing is essential for reducing shedding and maintaining coat health.

Japugs are heavy shedders, but regular brushing can help manage shedding and promote a healthy coat.

Choose a Collie if you want a top-notch watchdog. This breed takes guarding seriously, and may not require much training, though obedience or guard dog training can improve their skills.

Japugs are decent watchdogs - they'll alert their owner if something seems amiss.
