Is a Shetland Sheepdog a Collie?

No, a Shetland Sheepdog is not a Collie. Shelties are often referred to as “Miniature Collies” because they do resemble the Rough Collie, but they are a distinct breed. Both Shelties and Rough Collies share a herding heritage and have similar characteristics, but they are separate breeds with their own standards and characteristics.
