Border Collie History

 

The breed called the Border Collie was developed in the area known as the Anglo Scottish border of the United Kingdom.  The Border Collie belongs to the working dog category and they excell at herding sheep. 

Recognized worldwide as the premier sheepherding dog, known for its obedience, trainability and natural appearance.  The Border Collie was given Herding Group designation and became eligible for full recognition status on October 1, 1995.

Wiston Cap (b. 28 Sep. 1963) is the dog that the International Sheep Dog Society portrays in the characteristic Border Collie herding pose. He was a popular stud dog in the history of the breed, and his bloodline can be seen in most bloodlines of the modern day Collie.













The Border Collie is the most intelligent dog in the world.
