Border Collies - AJ
- The Border
collie gets its names from its early ancestors, dogs developed and
bred in the border lands between England and Scotland which were highly
prized for their herding abilities.
- Border
Collies show a large range in size and coloration because historically
they were bred as working stock and focus was placed on performance, not
looks.
- Border
Collies can be almost any color, including red and completely white.
- All
pure Border Collies alive today can
trace an ancestral line back to one dog, a Border Collie called
"Old Hemp" who lived from 1893-1901
- Old
Hemp is considered the father of the breed and it was from him that
the Border collie style of herding was developed.
- The
most popular Border collie stud was Wiston Cap, the dog who
appears on the International Sheep Herding Badge; he is posed in the pose
that is characteristic of herding Border Collies.
