تاريخBorder Collie
Border Collies originated in the Anglo-Scottish border region, where they were used and developed to herd sheep across rugged terrains. The word “collie” is of Scottish descent, often used to refer to sheepdogs or a dog synonymous with being useful at the time. The name “border” came about because this dog was often popular around the border region.
Because of their popularity with herders and farmers, Border Collies were often entered into local competitions. As expected, they dominated sheepdog trials.
As a result of their popularity, the breed was quickly exported to other ranches and farms around the world. Today, the Border Collie dog breed continues to become a popular choice for farm owners and families everywhere.
