Environmental Conditions
Gollies, being domestic dogs, typically live in human environments such as homes and yards. They can adapt to various climates but thrive best in environments where they receive adequate exercise and mental stimulation.
Ecological Niche
As domestic pets, Gollies serve as companions to humans. They do not have a defined role in a natural ecosystem; instead, their niche is to provide companionship and, in some cases, aid in tasks such as herding or retrieving, drawing from their Collie and Golden Retriever heritage.
