This is changed from the 50% required in our first year.<br />• A purebred is defined as 87.5% or more Collie (e.g. great grandchild from a<br />100% Collie and 100% non-Collie pairing).<br />• Dogs will be registered as purebred or appendix.<br />• If a dog does not have a pedigree, they will be registered as an (appendix)<br />unless owner submits a DNA test that demonstrates the dog is a purebred<br />(Embark and Wisdom Panel are two companies that offer breed identification<br />testing).<br />• Genetic Testing for select mutations will  be required as well as health<br />certificate for all breeding dogs.<br />•  Breeding dogs will be expected to demonstrate working ability or solid temperament. <br />(To include working farm/stock collie, performance collie, and/or temperament<br />assessment. Temperament assessment can be done by video if owner does not<br />have a Canine Good Citizen Testing Program near them.) If a dog is already a<br />working farm dog or performance dog, no temperament test is required.<br />Performance dogs can have a wide range of categories such as agility, therapy,<br />service, nose work, search and rescue, lure, barn hunt, etc.<br />All Collies already accepted into the registry before March, 2018 will be exempt from new requirements, but breeders are invited to update records to list their dogs’ working abilities and/or temperament.

Temperament assessment can be done by video if owner does not<br />have a Canine Good Citizen Testing Program near them.) If a dog is already a<br />working farm dog or performance dog, no temperament test is required.<br />Performance dogs can have a wide range of categories such as agility, therapy,<br />service, nose work, search and rescue, lure, barn hunt, etc.<br />All Collies already accepted into the registry before March, 2018 will be exempt from new requirements, but breeders are invited to update records to list their dogs’ working abilities and/or temperament.

Farm dogs are assessed primarily on their ability to work the farm, herd and protect the livestock. Performance defines their role as a farm dog.<br>The Old Time Scotch Collie has it\'s written focus as follows... \"Instead of mandating narrow conformation ranges as demanded by the American Kennel Club for their breeds, the Old-Time Scotch Collie Association has written a breed standard that allows for the range of appearances found in a landrace breed. We recognize that the Old-Time Scotch Collie has always had a diversity of types and we want to maintain that genetic diversity by not trying to shove everybody into the same box.\" The Scotch collie has a written breed description to allow for a wide range of variations into their breed to include a blend of collies, English Shepherds, Australian Shepherds..etc.<br>The Scottish Collie is a little more defined. The Scottish Collie Preservation Society is focused on preserving the classic farm collie, (Lassie Type Collie) as set by the standards from the late 1800\'s - early 1900\'s and were known for their intelligence and natural herding instincts . Through locating existing collies who still exhibit the traits of the classic farm collie and breeding back to the standards as established in the late 1800\'s early 1900\'s, they are restoring the breed as it once was. The Scottish Collie Preservation Society is an open registry to allow for genetic diversity and accepts purebred collies worldwide as well as unregistered collies who may have had outcrossing but are still primarily collies (atleast 75%). Once accepted into the registry collies must bred toward the breed standard with a focus on health, low COI, temperament and working ability. SCPS is an International movement accepting collies worldwide who fit the breed standard.<a href=\"http://scottishcolliepreservationsociety.org/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" rel=\"noopener\"></a><br>Of course it is possible that some of the kennel club collies, Old Time Scotch Collies and Scottish Collies will meet the requirements of each registry and may be double registered. Each registry has similar missions, just different goals.<br>(Courtesy photo Jessica Hennings / Gracehaven Collies)<br><hr style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 892px; visibility: hidden;\"><fb:like href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/1/post/2019/09/what-is-the-difference-between-the-farm-dog-old-time-scotch-collie-and-the-scottish-collie.html\" width=\"90\" layout=\"button_count\" action=\"like\" show_faces=\"false\" share=\"false\" fb-xfbml-state=\"rendered\" fb-iframe-plugin-query=\"action=like&amp;app_id=190291501407&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%2F1%2Fpost%2F2019%2F09%2Fwhat-is-the-difference-between-the-farm-dog-old-time-scotch-collie-and-the-scottish-collie.html&amp;layout=button_count&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90\" style=\"display: inline-block;

margin-left: auto; width: 424.609px; visibility: hidden;\"></td></tr></tbody></table>&nbsp;I see posts all over Facebook these days advertising the \'Adopt don\'t Shop\" term.&nbsp; Every time I see those posts I want to comment, but realize it will only start a long debate about all the dogs in shelters that need homes.&nbsp; Don\'t get me wrong, I support rescues whole heartily. If fact our sweet little Malia is a rescue from the reservation and is a amazing dog.&nbsp; My concern with these posts about \"Adopt don\'t Shop\" is in reality this is a very dangerous message.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>We own horses and depending on what we use our horses for determines what breed we select and what lines from that breed would best match our needs.&nbsp; My oldest daughter competed in Hunt Seat and selected a beautiful Appendix (Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred cross) Quarter Horse, my youngest daughter competed in a wide range of western riding and selected a nice all around quarter horse who was versatile in many venues. I prefer recreational and trail riding and selected a quiet paint horse who was smooth in her gaits and could navigate all types or terrain. Just like dogs, many horses are in need of rescue and can make nice pleasure horses and some nice sporting horses, but no one questions why people shop and don\'t just adopt in the horse world.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Health is also an important issue. When rescuing a dog, it is often unknown&nbsp;what health issues or genetic traits the dog may have. If you are looking for a dog to fulfill a role or perform specific tasks, you will want to ensure you purchase a healthy dog physically and temperamentally sound who will be able to perform in the role he/she was selected for. Responsible breeders breed for good health, temperament and structure.&nbsp; It is so important that our beloved animals live a quality of life free from as many health issues as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>If you are looking for a faithful loving companion, I often encourage people to consider rescues and shelters as an option.&nbsp; There are some amazing dogs who are in desperate need of homes and how rewarding it is to give a dog a second chance at life, however if you are looking for specific abilities in a dog such as therapy, ability to be around small children, herding, farm work, sporting events, hunting etc...., it is wise to select a pup from a reputable breeder who has lines that match your needs.&nbsp;<br><br>One of our breeders at SCPS is focused on therapy/service dogs.&nbsp; She needs very specific traits in her lines to accomplish this.&nbsp; Through selective breeding and training she will produce excellent pups that will meet the demanding needs of those seeking dogs for such an important job.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>We also have breeders focused on farm work, agility, etc...&nbsp; &nbsp;All these breeders work hard in selecting lines that provide the traits needed to perform in those roles.&nbsp; At SCPS our breeders know their lines and can match you with a pup to meet your lifestyle and needs.&nbsp;<br><br>It is important that we find balance between rescue and breeders.&nbsp; The trend that breeders are bad and rescue is the only acceptable option is dangerous to the dog population as a whole and those of us who work so hard to preserve the traits that define the very breeds who have been our faithful companions for generations.&nbsp;<br><br>Thank&nbsp; you for support the Scottish Collie Preservation Society.&nbsp;<br><br>Courtesy photos: Hycottage Farm Collies<fb:like href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/1/post/2019/07/adopt-dont-shopreally.html\" width=\"90\" layout=\"button_count\" action=\"like\" show_faces=\"false\" share=\"false\" fb-xfbml-state=\"rendered\" fb-iframe-plugin-query=\"action=like&amp;app_id=190291501407&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%2F1%2Fpost%2F2019%2F07%2Fadopt-dont-shopreally.html&amp;layout=button_count&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: relative;\"><iframe name=\"fe24a8698e9a94\" width=\"90px\" height=\"1000px\" data-testid=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" title=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/v2.6/plugins/like.php?action=like&amp;app_id=190291501407&amp;channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Dfca4f6757a807%26domain%3Dwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%26is_canvas%3Dfalse%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%252Ff29fca7e22ebe4%26relation%3Dparent.parent&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%2F1%2Fpost%2F2019%2F07%2Fadopt-dont-shopreally.html&amp;layout=button_count&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: visible; width: 90px; height: 28px;\"></iframe></fb:like></td><td valign=\"top\" style=\"width: 384px;\"><ul id=\"967194074623504403-sidebar-list\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;\"><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/classic-collie-5.png?1579026372\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-width: 0px !important;\"></a><h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Unite, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0px !important;\">DENISE MAHER</h2><p style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-left: auto; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\">I reside in the Black Hills of South Dakota, with my husband and three children. I am a founding member and current President of the Scottish Collie Preservation Society. I live on&nbsp; acreage&nbsp;with horses, barn cats and three dogs.&nbsp; I&nbsp;have been a dog trainer for our local county 4-H chapter and have&nbsp;served as an agility judge for our local county dog shows. Titus is my first Scottish Collie, although I have owned other herding breeds and I am continually impressed with this breed. I have worked with Titus in a wide range of activities to include agility, hobby farming, herding, trick training, barn hunt and promotional visits to the local youth communities. I have challenged him to test the versatility of this breed and he has performed well in every aspect. I am looking forward to a second Scottish Collie next year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My knowledge of SCPS is extensive as a founding member. I hope you will find my blogs educational and worth reading.&nbsp;<br><br></p><h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Unite, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0px !important;\">ARCHIVES</h2><p style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-left: auto; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\"><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/archives/01-2020\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">January 2020</a><br><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/archives/09-2019\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">September 2019</a><br><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/archives/07-2019\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">July 2019</a><br></p><h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Unite, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0px !important;\">CATEGORIES</h2><p style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-left: auto; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\"><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/category/all\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">All</a><br></p><p style=\"margin: 10px auto 30px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\"><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/1/feed\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\"><img src=\"https://cdn2.editmysite.com/images/old/bg_feed.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-top: 2px; margin-right: 5px;\">RSS Feed</a></p></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						HOME\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						ABOUT SCPS\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						SHOP NOW\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						MEMBER SERVICES\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						CONTACT US\n					</a>\n		Scottish Collie Preservation Society Copyright © 2019We use <strong style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\">cookies </strong>to ensure our website works properly and to collect statistics about users so we can improve the website.

Farm dogs are assessed primarily on their ability to work the farm, herd and protect the livestock. Performance defines their role as a farm dog.<br>The Old Time Scotch Collie has it\'s written focus as follows... \"Instead of mandating narrow conformation ranges as demanded by the American Kennel Club for their breeds, the Old-Time Scotch Collie Association has written a breed standard that allows for the range of appearances found in a landrace breed. We recognize that the Old-Time Scotch Collie has always had a diversity of types and we want to maintain that genetic diversity by not trying to shove everybody into the same box.\" The Scotch collie has a written breed description to allow for a wide range of variations into their breed to include a blend of collies, English Shepherds, Australian Shepherds..etc.<br>The Scottish Collie is a little more defined. The Scottish Collie Preservation Society is focused on preserving the classic farm collie, (Lassie Type Collie) as set by the standards from the late 1800\'s - early 1900\'s and were known for their intelligence and natural herding instincts . Through locating existing collies who still exhibit the traits of the classic farm collie and breeding back to the standards as established in the late 1800\'s early 1900\'s, they are restoring the breed as it once was. The Scottish Collie Preservation Society is an open registry to allow for genetic diversity and accepts purebred collies worldwide as well as unregistered collies who may have had outcrossing but are still primarily collies (atleast 75%). Once accepted into the registry collies must bred toward the breed standard with a focus on health, low COI, temperament and working ability. SCPS is an International movement accepting collies worldwide who fit the breed standard.<a href=\"http://scottishcolliepreservationsociety.org/\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\" rel=\"noopener\"></a><br>Of course it is possible that some of the kennel club collies, Old Time Scotch Collies and Scottish Collies will meet the requirements of each registry and may be double registered. Each registry has similar missions, just different goals.<br>(Courtesy photo Jessica Hennings / Gracehaven Collies)<br><hr style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 892px; visibility: hidden;\"><fb:like href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/1/post/2019/09/what-is-the-difference-between-the-farm-dog-old-time-scotch-collie-and-the-scottish-collie.html\" width=\"90\" layout=\"button_count\" action=\"like\" show_faces=\"false\" share=\"false\" fb-xfbml-state=\"rendered\" fb-iframe-plugin-query=\"action=like&amp;app_id=190291501407&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%2F1%2Fpost%2F2019%2F09%2Fwhat-is-the-difference-between-the-farm-dog-old-time-scotch-collie-and-the-scottish-collie.html&amp;layout=button_count&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90\" style=\"display: inline-block;

margin-left: auto; width: 424.609px; visibility: hidden;\"></td></tr></tbody></table>&nbsp;I see posts all over Facebook these days advertising the \'Adopt don\'t Shop\" term.&nbsp; Every time I see those posts I want to comment, but realize it will only start a long debate about all the dogs in shelters that need homes.&nbsp; Don\'t get me wrong, I support rescues whole heartily. If fact our sweet little Malia is a rescue from the reservation and is a amazing dog.&nbsp; My concern with these posts about \"Adopt don\'t Shop\" is in reality this is a very dangerous message.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>We own horses and depending on what we use our horses for determines what breed we select and what lines from that breed would best match our needs.&nbsp; My oldest daughter competed in Hunt Seat and selected a beautiful Appendix (Quarter Horse/Thoroughbred cross) Quarter Horse, my youngest daughter competed in a wide range of western riding and selected a nice all around quarter horse who was versatile in many venues. I prefer recreational and trail riding and selected a quiet paint horse who was smooth in her gaits and could navigate all types or terrain. Just like dogs, many horses are in need of rescue and can make nice pleasure horses and some nice sporting horses, but no one questions why people shop and don\'t just adopt in the horse world.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Health is also an important issue. When rescuing a dog, it is often unknown&nbsp;what health issues or genetic traits the dog may have. If you are looking for a dog to fulfill a role or perform specific tasks, you will want to ensure you purchase a healthy dog physically and temperamentally sound who will be able to perform in the role he/she was selected for. Responsible breeders breed for good health, temperament and structure.&nbsp; It is so important that our beloved animals live a quality of life free from as many health issues as possible.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>If you are looking for a faithful loving companion, I often encourage people to consider rescues and shelters as an option.&nbsp; There are some amazing dogs who are in desperate need of homes and how rewarding it is to give a dog a second chance at life, however if you are looking for specific abilities in a dog such as therapy, ability to be around small children, herding, farm work, sporting events, hunting etc...., it is wise to select a pup from a reputable breeder who has lines that match your needs.&nbsp;<br><br>One of our breeders at SCPS is focused on therapy/service dogs.&nbsp; She needs very specific traits in her lines to accomplish this.&nbsp; Through selective breeding and training she will produce excellent pups that will meet the demanding needs of those seeking dogs for such an important job.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br><br>We also have breeders focused on farm work, agility, etc...&nbsp; &nbsp;All these breeders work hard in selecting lines that provide the traits needed to perform in those roles.&nbsp; At SCPS our breeders know their lines and can match you with a pup to meet your lifestyle and needs.&nbsp;<br><br>It is important that we find balance between rescue and breeders.&nbsp; The trend that breeders are bad and rescue is the only acceptable option is dangerous to the dog population as a whole and those of us who work so hard to preserve the traits that define the very breeds who have been our faithful companions for generations.&nbsp;<br><br>Thank&nbsp; you for support the Scottish Collie Preservation Society.&nbsp;<br><br>Courtesy photos: Hycottage Farm Collies<fb:like href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/1/post/2019/07/adopt-dont-shopreally.html\" width=\"90\" layout=\"button_count\" action=\"like\" show_faces=\"false\" share=\"false\" fb-xfbml-state=\"rendered\" fb-iframe-plugin-query=\"action=like&amp;app_id=190291501407&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%2F1%2Fpost%2F2019%2F07%2Fadopt-dont-shopreally.html&amp;layout=button_count&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: relative;\"><iframe name=\"fe24a8698e9a94\" width=\"90px\" height=\"1000px\" data-testid=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" title=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" src=\"https://www.facebook.com/v2.6/plugins/like.php?action=like&amp;app_id=190291501407&amp;channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Dfca4f6757a807%26domain%3Dwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%26is_canvas%3Dfalse%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%252Ff29fca7e22ebe4%26relation%3Dparent.parent&amp;container_width=0&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com%2F1%2Fpost%2F2019%2F07%2Fadopt-dont-shopreally.html&amp;layout=button_count&amp;locale=en_US&amp;sdk=joey&amp;share=false&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=90\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: visible; width: 90px; height: 28px;\"></iframe></fb:like></td><td valign=\"top\" style=\"width: 384px;\"><ul id=\"967194074623504403-sidebar-list\" style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px;\"><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/classic-collie-5.png?1579026372\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-width: 0px !important;\"></a><h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Unite, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0px !important;\">DENISE MAHER</h2><p style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-left: auto; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\">I reside in the Black Hills of South Dakota, with my husband and three children. I am a founding member and current President of the Scottish Collie Preservation Society. I live on&nbsp; acreage&nbsp;with horses, barn cats and three dogs.&nbsp; I&nbsp;have been a dog trainer for our local county 4-H chapter and have&nbsp;served as an agility judge for our local county dog shows. Titus is my first Scottish Collie, although I have owned other herding breeds and I am continually impressed with this breed. I have worked with Titus in a wide range of activities to include agility, hobby farming, herding, trick training, barn hunt and promotional visits to the local youth communities. I have challenged him to test the versatility of this breed and he has performed well in every aspect. I am looking forward to a second Scottish Collie next year.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;My knowledge of SCPS is extensive as a founding member. I hope you will find my blogs educational and worth reading.&nbsp;<br><br></p><h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Unite, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0px !important;\">ARCHIVES</h2><p style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-left: auto; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\"><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/archives/01-2020\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">January 2020</a><br><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/archives/09-2019\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">September 2019</a><br><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/archives/07-2019\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">July 2019</a><br></p><h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Unite, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; text-transform: uppercase; letter-spacing: 0px !important;\">CATEGORIES</h2><p style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-left: auto; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\"><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/category/all\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\">All</a><br></p><p style=\"margin: 10px auto 30px; font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.75; letter-spacing: 0.02em; font-family: Lato !important; color: rgb(98, 98, 98) !important;\"><a href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/1/feed\" style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;\"><img src=\"https://cdn2.editmysite.com/images/old/bg_feed.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-top: 2px; margin-right: 5px;\">RSS Feed</a></p></ul></td></tr></tbody></table>		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						HOME\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						ABOUT SCPS\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						SHOP NOW\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						MEMBER SERVICES\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						CONTACT US\n					</a>\n		Scottish Collie Preservation Society Copyright © 2019We use <strong style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\">cookies </strong>to ensure our website works properly and to collect statistics about users so we can improve the website.

Rough Collies were first exhibited in 1860 at the Birmingham, England dog show, in the generic class \"Scotch Sheep-Dogs\".<br /><br />In 1879 the first English Rough Collie was imported to the United States.

If a breeder does not know the genes of their breeding stock, it is near impossible to breed away from health related issues.<br /><br />At SCPS, in an effort to preserve the Classic Scottish Collie breed, we have established an open registry to encourage collies to join who are not part of the closed registries to bring in a new gene pool.  We also require genetic testing and do not allow inbreeding so as to reduce COI levels. By breeding classic type rough/smooth collies to working farm collies, it is our goal to produce a line of healthy, working Scottish Collies that were a part of so many families and farms, in the 1800\'s.   <a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-color: #000000 !important; padding: 3px !important; margin-left: -4px !important; margin-right: -4px !important;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/a27d24-91fee9219026474e826cd25765f414cf-mv2_orig.webp\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a>(Courtesy Photo: Marushka Farms, breeder of Scottish Collies)		\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						HOME\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						ABOUT SCPS\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						SHOP NOW\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						MEMBER SERVICES\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"#\" role=\"button\">\n						CONTACT US\n					</a>\n		Scottish Collie Preservation Society Copyright © 2019We use <strong style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\">cookies </strong>to ensure our website works properly and to collect statistics about users so we can improve the website.

The dogs were bred with great care in order to assist their owners in the herding and guarding of their flock. Without a doubt, it is to the English fancy of the late 1800s that the breed owes its development as a popular show dog. Rough Collies were first exhibited in 1860 at the Birmingham, England dog show, in the generic class \"Scotch Sheep-Dogs\".<br /><br />In 1879 the first English Rough Collie was imported to the United States. It is from England that the United States found the famous pillars of the breed, from which the American fanciers sought not only their next big winner, but also their foundation stock.<br /><br />By the turn of the century, the American Rough Collie was in a state of continued development. The breed continued to flourish in England. American show prizes were dominated by the British imports. As a result of the imports, the breed made rapid progress between 1900 to 1920. These dogs built the foundations upon which the present day Rough Collie is based and paved the way for the emergence of the great American kennels of the 1920s and 1930s. <br /><br />According to what I can find, the first Collie Registry was started in 1885.  A percentage of those collies were then shipped to the USA where the AKC also recognized the collie into their registry. <br /><br />As you can see the collie gene pool has been locked into closed registries for over 100 years.

Why was the Scottish Collie Preservation Society formed?</strong><br />The Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS) was formed in 2016 as an <strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">International Registry</strong> to preserve the original working farm collie that was used in the Scottish Highlands more than 100 years ago. SCPS selected to work off the earliest Scottish Collie Standards in the late 1800\'s-early 1900\'s and breed true to those Standards in order to revive the classic Scottish Collie breed.  Up until the 1950’s the Collie Standard was adhered to reasonably faithfully but due to modernization of the breed, the Rough Collie has taken the Scottish Collie in a different direction. <br /><br />The Scottish Collie should resemble a Rough or Smooth Collie. He should have a form which perfectly fits the function for which he was first bred, herding and guarding his flock of sheep (as described in the earliest Standards). The Collie had wonderful qualities bred-in over many hundreds of years such as herding instincts, loyalty, intelligence and a willingness to please his master and the versatility to perform many tasks.<br /><br />The Scottish Collie was once one of the healthiest, most versatile, and well known breeds of all dog world (Lassie is still the most well known dog globally). Unfortunately, today collies are rarely referred to as a true working breed and are difficult to find in most homes and farms. To restore the collie to it original standing is the goal of this group.<br /><br />2.  Is SCPS a registered Non-profit business?<br />Yes, SCPS is registered as a 501 (c) (3), Non-Profit Organization. SCPS is headquartered out of the state of Pennsylvania and is run by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.<br /><br /><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3. Do you register only breeding dogs or can I register my dog who is spayed/</strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">neutered?</strong><br /> While we provide registration for breeding dogs, we also offer an expressed registry to allow owners to register their collies with SCPS who will not be used for breeding but can participate in our Annual SCPS Conferences, Versatility program or Working Collie Competition or who just want to be ambassadors for the Scottish Collie breed and part of our efforts.<br /> <br />3. Will I have a say as a Member in how the SCPS is run? How can I be sure of this?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">You will certainly have a say because the groundwork has been completed in the form of officially adopted SCPS By-Laws and the Code of Ethics, both of which are posted on the SCPS website.

When you register as a member you will be joining an organization dedicated to breeding healthy, genetically tested and genetically diverse, old type classic, Scottish Collies.<br>Remember Lassie (Pal)? Lassie/Pal was actually a male Rough Collie, or Scottish Collie, as they were called in the 1940’s and 50’s, who won the hearts of all. Pal lived to be 18 years old,&nbsp;then died of old age, being healthy right to the end. We plan to go “Back to the Future” and breed again just such very healthy, beautiful, clever Collies as Lassie surely was, with not too much of anything, nor too little, but just right.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\">\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">As a Member, you will be&nbsp;eligible to apply for registration&nbsp;of your dog(s) and any litters of puppies.*</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be assisted with&nbsp;Breeding Advice, and you will be provided with a summary &nbsp;for your dog outlining what you need to find in a mate and identifying strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp;<br>You will be provided with a&nbsp;Summary Evaluation&nbsp;that outlines your Dog\'s strengths and weaknesses, in order to assist you in finding a well-suited mate.</li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will gain access to our UC Davis/Betterbred Genetic Testing Program and Genetic based breeding tools.&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35</a></li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be eligible&nbsp;to&nbsp;advertise your puppies and Kennel&nbsp;through our Website and Facebook pages.</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Breeders may&nbsp;register their&nbsp;Kennel name&nbsp;or prefix at&nbsp;no cost, and have a&nbsp;Kennel page in our online registry. &nbsp;</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be&nbsp;welcomed to our dedicated and enthusiastic group&nbsp;where all are entitled to state their views in positive and constructive ways (see our&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/code-of-ethics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code of Ethics</a>).

This is in the Collie’s DNA, and has so long been a part of this breed that most Collies know what to do instinctively. If we are to truly preserve this noble breed, we must preserve not just its appearance, but also the very essence of its character, intelligence, and willingness to help man in the care of his livestock. Only in this way will the Collie be fulfilling the function for which they were bred for thousands of years. </li></ul><br />12.

Must breeders test their breeding dogs for all the Collie diseases at once? Isn\'t this expensive?

What is the Breeding Certification Program, and why should I bother getting my dog Certified?<br />The SCPS Breeding Certification Program signifies that the SCPS recognizes your dog as being fit to breed and it has been suitably matched to; correct weaknesses, compensate for identified mutant genes, and to lower the Co-efficient of Inbreeding (COI), so is bred to a low COI, unrelated mate.<br /> An SCPS Breeding Certified Dog/Bitch will:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the first breeding for at least CEA and MDR1</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the second breeding for at least CN, DM, and vWD II (see Genetics)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Not have whelped more than three litters in her lifetime. (For the sake of the bitch\'s health, four is the maximum number of litters allowable per female dog in her lifetime.)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Have been certified as healthy and sound by a Veterinarian, prior to submitting the Registration Application.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Approximate the SCPS Standard with an Evaluation Score of at least 50% .</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Will be bred to unrelated mates, preferably with a low COI, to maximize reduction of the COI in the litter being produced.</li></ul>If a dog has a very high COI of 20% or 25% should be bred to a completely unrelated dog, preferably one with a COI of 0%. This would be the ideal and provide the maximum reduction possible in COI in the resultant litter.<br />Breeders must try to match dogs so as to correct identified weaknesses, and compensate for genetic mutations with a goal of elimination of the diseases caused by mutant genes.  Our goal is to eventually reduce COI to as near 0% as we can for all dogs in the SCPS Registry. This will ensure the survival of the breed.<br />WHY?<br />Science and research tell us that COI rates of 5% or higher, place the breed on “the path to extinction.”  The goal of SCPS is the Preservation of the Scottish Collie.<br />Why Bother Certifying?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Your puppies can be automatically registered as a litter at a very low cost of $30 within the first 21 days following whelping.

Why is line-breeding, or inbreeding, not allowed in this organization when kennel clubs and other dog clubs have been line-breeding and inbreeding for a long, long time? What are the consequences of Inbreeding or a high Co-efficient of Inbreeding also known as COI ? <ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Line-breeding and inbreeding are responsible for the greater prevalence of inherited diseases specific to each breed of dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Inbreeding leads to homozygous dogs (genetic makeup of the dog lacks diversity) whose immune systems are compromised, leaving them vulnerable to many diseases, such as cancer, allergies, auto immune diseases and other serious conditions, such as digestive and liver problems.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Length of lifespan is also directly correlated to the degree of inbreeding or COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Temperament directly correlates to the degree of inbreeding. Aggressive behavior, timidity, nervousness, hyperactivity, or other temperament problems uncharacteristic of the traditional Collie temperament can be traced to close inbreeding and high COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">A further consequence of high levels of inbreeding is infertility. It is Nature’s way of shutting down an unhealthy line or strain. This has been observed among wild canines, such as wolves. A population can become too small to provide the genetic diversity required for healthy immune systems and heterozygous pups. The signs in dogs, or any canine population which becomes inbred, are smaller litters, failure of pups to survive, failure to conceive, and inability to produce a healthy litter in a natural delivery.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Any breed or group with a COI of 5% or higher is already on the pathway to extinction.</li></ul>So you can easily see what is to be gained for our beloved Scottish Collie in terms of all health issues by aiming ultimately for a Co-efficient of Inbreeding of 0%.  Our reason for being is for the Scottish Collie to be healthy, have a strong immune system, good temperament, produce large healthy litters, with a good long lifespan, free of all sorts of common health problems caused by a weak immune system. We will be working continuously to reduce COI to 0%. Happily, some of our Scottish Collies are starting there. We are assuring that the classic Scottish Collie breed will have a future!		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>GENETIC TESTING</strong></h2> 16. Why the big push for genetic testing?<br />Line-breeding has been practiced by most breeders of the twentieth century. There has been an over-use of popular sires, too many repeats in the pedigrees, and the breeding of closely related dogs has been considered acceptable to establish type.<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">At least five diseases common to the Collie are caused by recessive mutant genes. These mutant (abnormal) genes have spread like wildfire throughout the whole Collie landrace worldwide during the last century. Some are even traceable going back through the generations to a single dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">All mutations do originate in just one dog. It takes two copies of the mutant recessive gene, one from each parent, to create a puppy which is Affected with two Mutant genes.  As long as there is no inbreeding, these mutant genes do no harm.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Genetic markers have been found for all of the serious diseases afflicting the Collie landrace, so we are able to test our dogs with a simple cheek swab to identify a dog\'s disease profile.  Through testing, a Breeder knows if his dog is completely Clear of a particular mutation; if it is Not Affected by the mutation, but carries one copy of the gene (referred to as \"Carriers\"); or if his dog carries two copies of the mutant gene making them at-risk for the disease (\"Affected\"), and are only able to pass on mutant genes to their offspring.</li></ul>Breeding decisions must be based upon breeding up and away from these mutations if we are serious about eliminating these health problems for the Collie.  We are serious about our responsibility to the noble breed which has served Man so well since time immemorial.<br /><br />17. Why were CEA and MDR1 chosen specifically to test for first?<br />CEA and MDR1 are both very prevalent throughout the Collie landrace worldwide.		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>CEA - Collie eye anomaly</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">5% of Collies worldwide are CEA n/n, or genetically free of the mutant CEA gene. These Clear for CEA dogs cannot produce a puppy Affected by CEA no matter what the status of the other parent; so this, of course, is our goal.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">15% of all Collie landrace dogs are Carriers, or CEA n/m.  If two carriers are mated they will produce approximately 25% Clear for CEA n/n pups, 25% Affected for CEA m/m pups, and about 50% Carriers or CEA n/m, like their parents and will carry one good gene and one mutant gene.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">80% of all Collies will be CEA m/m. This means that they are genetically Affected, but may not be clinically affected. In a very small percentage of these affected dogs, clinical examination will reveal a large coloboma (or hole) close to the optic nerve, or a hemorrhage; in these few instances a detached retina and blindness is the end result. So although most dogs who are CEA m/m will not have their vision affected, it is very important to have them checked at 6 to 8 weeks by a canine Veterinary Ophthalmologist to find out what exactly are the results in each pup of the CEA Affected status, so that you will know with certainty what the prognosis will be for each pup.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">SCPS wishes to eradicate CEA. It can be done with genetic testing and planned breeding using the test results to guide choice of mates for breeding. If it prevents the birth of one puppy born blind, it will have been worthwhile. It is the right thing to do for this wonderful breed.</li></ul>		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>MDR1 - Multi-drug resistance</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Again this problem is caused by a mutant recessive gene.

Why was the Scottish Collie Preservation Society formed?</strong><br />The Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS) was formed in 2016 as an <strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">International Registry</strong> to preserve the original working farm collie that was used in the Scottish Highlands more than 100 years ago. SCPS selected to work off the earliest Scottish Collie Standards in the late 1800\'s-early 1900\'s and breed true to those Standards in order to revive the classic Scottish Collie breed.  Up until the 1950’s the Collie Standard was adhered to reasonably faithfully but due to modernization of the breed, the Rough Collie has taken the Scottish Collie in a different direction. <br /><br />The Scottish Collie should resemble a Rough or Smooth Collie. He should have a form which perfectly fits the function for which he was first bred, herding and guarding his flock of sheep (as described in the earliest Standards). The Collie had wonderful qualities bred-in over many hundreds of years such as herding instincts, loyalty, intelligence and a willingness to please his master and the versatility to perform many tasks.<br /><br />The Scottish Collie was once one of the healthiest, most versatile, and well known breeds of all dog world (Lassie is still the most well known dog globally). Unfortunately, today collies are rarely referred to as a true working breed and are difficult to find in most homes and farms. To restore the collie to it original standing is the goal of this group.<br /><br />2.  Is SCPS a registered Non-profit business?<br />Yes, SCPS is registered as a 501 (c) (3), Non-Profit Organization. SCPS is headquartered out of the state of Pennsylvania and is run by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.<br /><br /><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3. Do you register only breeding dogs or can I register my dog who is spayed/</strong><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">neutered?</strong><br /> While we provide registration for breeding dogs, we also offer an expressed registry to allow owners to register their collies with SCPS who will not be used for breeding but can participate in our Annual SCPS Conferences, Versatility program or Working Collie Competition or who just want to be ambassadors for the Scottish Collie breed and part of our efforts.<br /> <br />3. Will I have a say as a Member in how the SCPS is run? How can I be sure of this?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">You will certainly have a say because the groundwork has been completed in the form of officially adopted SCPS By-Laws and the Code of Ethics, both of which are posted on the SCPS website.

When you register as a member you will be joining an organization dedicated to breeding healthy, genetically tested and genetically diverse, old type classic, Scottish Collies.<br>Remember Lassie (Pal)? Lassie/Pal was actually a male Rough Collie, or Scottish Collie, as they were called in the 1940’s and 50’s, who won the hearts of all. Pal lived to be 18 years old,&nbsp;then died of old age, being healthy right to the end. We plan to go “Back to the Future” and breed again just such very healthy, beautiful, clever Collies as Lassie surely was, with not too much of anything, nor too little, but just right.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\">\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">As a Member, you will be&nbsp;eligible to apply for registration&nbsp;of your dog(s) and any litters of puppies.*</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be assisted with&nbsp;Breeding Advice, and you will be provided with a summary &nbsp;for your dog outlining what you need to find in a mate and identifying strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp;<br>You will be provided with a&nbsp;Summary Evaluation&nbsp;that outlines your Dog\'s strengths and weaknesses, in order to assist you in finding a well-suited mate.</li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will gain access to our UC Davis/Betterbred Genetic Testing Program and Genetic based breeding tools.&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35</a></li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be eligible&nbsp;to&nbsp;advertise your puppies and Kennel&nbsp;through our Website and Facebook pages.</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Breeders may&nbsp;register their&nbsp;Kennel name&nbsp;or prefix at&nbsp;no cost, and have a&nbsp;Kennel page in our online registry. &nbsp;</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be&nbsp;welcomed to our dedicated and enthusiastic group&nbsp;where all are entitled to state their views in positive and constructive ways (see our&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/code-of-ethics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code of Ethics</a>).

This is in the Collie’s DNA, and has so long been a part of this breed that most Collies know what to do instinctively. If we are to truly preserve this noble breed, we must preserve not just its appearance, but also the very essence of its character, intelligence, and willingness to help man in the care of his livestock. Only in this way will the Collie be fulfilling the function for which they were bred for thousands of years. </li></ul><br />12.

How can I afford to test my dogs?<br />The Scottish Collie Disease Panel has been split into two parts:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Essential: includes Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) and Multi-drug Resistance (MDR1).<br />Both parents must be tested before the first breeding.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Supplementary: includes Cyclic Neutropenia (CN), Degenerative Myelitis (DM), and Von Willebrand\'s Disease II (vWDII).<br />This panel must be completed before the second breeding.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">For more information, please see our page <a style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition: opacity 200ms ease-in-out 0s;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/genetic-testing-why.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Genetic Testing &amp; Why.</a></li></ul>We have partnered with <a style=\"color: inherit; text-decoration: none; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition: opacity 200ms ease-in-out 0s;\" href=\"http://www.pawprintgenetics.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paw Print Genetics</a> to assist our Members in easing the cost of testing.  Their generosity allows SCPS Members to save 40% off either panel at any time.

What is the Breeding Certification Program, and why should I bother getting my dog Certified?<br />The SCPS Breeding Certification Program signifies that the SCPS recognizes your dog as being fit to breed and it has been suitably matched to; correct weaknesses, compensate for identified mutant genes, and to lower the Co-efficient of Inbreeding (COI), so is bred to a low COI, unrelated mate.<br /> An SCPS Breeding Certified Dog/Bitch will:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the first breeding for at least CEA and MDR1</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the second breeding for at least CN, DM, and vWD II (see Genetics)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Not have whelped more than three litters in her lifetime. (For the sake of the bitch\'s health, four is the maximum number of litters allowable per female dog in her lifetime.)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Have been certified as healthy and sound by a Veterinarian, prior to submitting the Registration Application.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Approximate the SCPS Standard with an Evaluation Score of at least 50% .</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Will be bred to unrelated mates, preferably with a low COI, to maximize reduction of the COI in the litter being produced.</li></ul>If a dog has a very high COI of 20% or 25% should be bred to a completely unrelated dog, preferably one with a COI of 0%. This would be the ideal and provide the maximum reduction possible in COI in the resultant litter.<br />Breeders must try to match dogs so as to correct identified weaknesses, and compensate for genetic mutations with a goal of elimination of the diseases caused by mutant genes.  Our goal is to eventually reduce COI to as near 0% as we can for all dogs in the SCPS Registry. This will ensure the survival of the breed.<br />WHY?<br />Science and research tell us that COI rates of 5% or higher, place the breed on “the path to extinction.”  The goal of SCPS is the Preservation of the Scottish Collie.<br />Why Bother Certifying?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Your puppies can be automatically registered as a litter at a very low cost of $30 within the first 21 days following whelping.

Why is line-breeding, or inbreeding, not allowed in this organization when kennel clubs and other dog clubs have been line-breeding and inbreeding for a long, long time? What are the consequences of Inbreeding or a high Co-efficient of Inbreeding also known as COI ? <ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Line-breeding and inbreeding are responsible for the greater prevalence of inherited diseases specific to each breed of dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Inbreeding leads to homozygous dogs (genetic makeup of the dog lacks diversity) whose immune systems are compromised, leaving them vulnerable to many diseases, such as cancer, allergies, auto immune diseases and other serious conditions, such as digestive and liver problems.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Length of lifespan is also directly correlated to the degree of inbreeding or COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Temperament directly correlates to the degree of inbreeding. Aggressive behavior, timidity, nervousness, hyperactivity, or other temperament problems uncharacteristic of the traditional Collie temperament can be traced to close inbreeding and high COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">A further consequence of high levels of inbreeding is infertility. It is Nature’s way of shutting down an unhealthy line or strain. This has been observed among wild canines, such as wolves. A population can become too small to provide the genetic diversity required for healthy immune systems and heterozygous pups. The signs in dogs, or any canine population which becomes inbred, are smaller litters, failure of pups to survive, failure to conceive, and inability to produce a healthy litter in a natural delivery.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Any breed or group with a COI of 5% or higher is already on the pathway to extinction.</li></ul>So you can easily see what is to be gained for our beloved Scottish Collie in terms of all health issues by aiming ultimately for a Co-efficient of Inbreeding of 0%.  Our reason for being is for the Scottish Collie to be healthy, have a strong immune system, good temperament, produce large healthy litters, with a good long lifespan, free of all sorts of common health problems caused by a weak immune system. We will be working continuously to reduce COI to 0%. Happily, some of our Scottish Collies are starting there. We are assuring that the classic Scottish Collie breed will have a future!		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>GENETIC TESTING</strong></h2> 16. Why the big push for genetic testing?<br />Line-breeding has been practiced by most breeders of the twentieth century. There has been an over-use of popular sires, too many repeats in the pedigrees, and the breeding of closely related dogs has been considered acceptable to establish type.<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">At least five diseases common to the Collie are caused by recessive mutant genes. These mutant (abnormal) genes have spread like wildfire throughout the whole Collie landrace worldwide during the last century. Some are even traceable going back through the generations to a single dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">All mutations do originate in just one dog. It takes two copies of the mutant recessive gene, one from each parent, to create a puppy which is Affected with two Mutant genes.  As long as there is no inbreeding, these mutant genes do no harm.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Genetic markers have been found for all of the serious diseases afflicting the Collie landrace, so we are able to test our dogs with a simple cheek swab to identify a dog\'s disease profile.  Through testing, a Breeder knows if his dog is completely Clear of a particular mutation; if it is Not Affected by the mutation, but carries one copy of the gene (referred to as \"Carriers\"); or if his dog carries two copies of the mutant gene making them at-risk for the disease (\"Affected\"), and are only able to pass on mutant genes to their offspring.</li></ul>Breeding decisions must be based upon breeding up and away from these mutations if we are serious about eliminating these health problems for the Collie.  We are serious about our responsibility to the noble breed which has served Man so well since time immemorial.<br /><br />17. Why were CEA and MDR1 chosen specifically to test for first?<br />CEA and MDR1 are both very prevalent throughout the Collie landrace worldwide.		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>CEA - Collie eye anomaly</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">5% of Collies worldwide are CEA n/n, or genetically free of the mutant CEA gene. These Clear for CEA dogs cannot produce a puppy Affected by CEA no matter what the status of the other parent; so this, of course, is our goal.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">15% of all Collie landrace dogs are Carriers, or CEA n/m.  If two carriers are mated they will produce approximately 25% Clear for CEA n/n pups, 25% Affected for CEA m/m pups, and about 50% Carriers or CEA n/m, like their parents and will carry one good gene and one mutant gene.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">80% of all Collies will be CEA m/m. This means that they are genetically Affected, but may not be clinically affected. In a very small percentage of these affected dogs, clinical examination will reveal a large coloboma (or hole) close to the optic nerve, or a hemorrhage; in these few instances a detached retina and blindness is the end result. So although most dogs who are CEA m/m will not have their vision affected, it is very important to have them checked at 6 to 8 weeks by a canine Veterinary Ophthalmologist to find out what exactly are the results in each pup of the CEA Affected status, so that you will know with certainty what the prognosis will be for each pup.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">SCPS wishes to eradicate CEA. It can be done with genetic testing and planned breeding using the test results to guide choice of mates for breeding. If it prevents the birth of one puppy born blind, it will have been worthwhile. It is the right thing to do for this wonderful breed.</li></ul>		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>MDR1 - Multi-drug resistance</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Again this problem is caused by a mutant recessive gene. MDR1 at all levels of testing (Normal/Normal, Carrier, or Mutant/Mutant) cannot block many chemicals or drugs, which are toxic to him, from causing severe neurological damage, or even death.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Even Carriers (dogs who carry only one mutant and recessive gene, meaning n/m) are susceptible to neurological damage from many drugs, (not only Ivermectin).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Dogs working livestock are at a higher risk.

Why was the Scottish Collie Preservation Society formed?</strong><br />The Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS) was formed in 2016 as an <strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">International Registry</strong> to preserve the original working farm collie that was used in the Scottish Highlands more than 100 years ago. SCPS selected to work off the earliest Scottish Collie Standards in the late 1800\'s-early 1900\'s and breed true to those Standards in order to revive the classic Scottish Collie breed.  Up until the 1950’s the Collie Standard was adhered to reasonably faithfully but due to modernization of the breed, the Rough Collie has taken the Scottish Collie in a different direction. <br /><br />The Scottish Collie should resemble a Rough or Smooth Collie. He should have a form which perfectly fits the function for which he was first bred, herding and guarding his flock of sheep (as described in the earliest Standards). The Collie had wonderful qualities bred-in over many hundreds of years such as herding instincts, loyalty, intelligence and a willingness to please his master and the versatility to perform many tasks.<br /><br />The Scottish Collie was once one of the healthiest, most versatile, and well known breeds of all dog world (Lassie is still the most well known dog globally). Unfortunately, today collies are rarely referred to as a true working breed and are difficult to find in most homes and farms. To restore the collie to it original standing is the goal of this group.<br /><br />2.  Is SCPS a registered Non-profit business?<br />Yes, SCPS is registered as a 501 (c) (3), Non-Profit Organization. SCPS is headquartered out of the state of Pennsylvania and is run by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.<br /><br /><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3.

What are the benefits of membership in the SCPS?<br>The Benefits of belonging to such a group as SCPS are numerous indeed. When you register as a member you will be joining an organization dedicated to breeding healthy, genetically tested and genetically diverse, old type classic, Scottish Collies.<br>Remember Lassie (Pal)? Lassie/Pal was actually a male Rough Collie, or Scottish Collie, as they were called in the 1940’s and 50’s, who won the hearts of all. Pal lived to be 18 years old,&nbsp;then died of old age, being healthy right to the end. We plan to go “Back to the Future” and breed again just such very healthy, beautiful, clever Collies as Lassie surely was, with not too much of anything, nor too little, but just right.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\">\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">As a Member, you will be&nbsp;eligible to apply for registration&nbsp;of your dog(s) and any litters of puppies.*</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be assisted with&nbsp;Breeding Advice, and you will be provided with a summary &nbsp;for your dog outlining what you need to find in a mate and identifying strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp;<br>You will be provided with a&nbsp;Summary Evaluation&nbsp;that outlines your Dog\'s strengths and weaknesses, in order to assist you in finding a well-suited mate.</li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will gain access to our UC Davis/Betterbred Genetic Testing Program and Genetic based breeding tools.&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35</a></li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be eligible&nbsp;to&nbsp;advertise your puppies and Kennel&nbsp;through our Website and Facebook pages.</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Breeders may&nbsp;register their&nbsp;Kennel name&nbsp;or prefix at&nbsp;no cost, and have a&nbsp;Kennel page in our online registry. &nbsp;</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be&nbsp;welcomed to our dedicated and enthusiastic group&nbsp;where all are entitled to state their views in positive and constructive ways (see our&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/code-of-ethics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code of Ethics</a>).

This is in the Collie’s DNA, and has so long been a part of this breed that most Collies know what to do instinctively. If we are to truly preserve this noble breed, we must preserve not just its appearance, but also the very essence of its character, intelligence, and willingness to help man in the care of his livestock. Only in this way will the Collie be fulfilling the function for which they were bred for thousands of years. </li></ul><br />12.

What is the Breeding Certification Program, and why should I bother getting my dog Certified?<br />The SCPS Breeding Certification Program signifies that the SCPS recognizes your dog as being fit to breed and it has been suitably matched to; correct weaknesses, compensate for identified mutant genes, and to lower the Co-efficient of Inbreeding (COI), so is bred to a low COI, unrelated mate.<br /> An SCPS Breeding Certified Dog/Bitch will:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the first breeding for at least CEA and MDR1</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the second breeding for at least CN, DM, and vWD II (see Genetics)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Not have whelped more than three litters in her lifetime. (For the sake of the bitch\'s health, four is the maximum number of litters allowable per female dog in her lifetime.)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Have been certified as healthy and sound by a Veterinarian, prior to submitting the Registration Application.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Approximate the SCPS Standard with an Evaluation Score of at least 50% .</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Will be bred to unrelated mates, preferably with a low COI, to maximize reduction of the COI in the litter being produced.</li></ul>If a dog has a very high COI of 20% or 25% should be bred to a completely unrelated dog, preferably one with a COI of 0%. This would be the ideal and provide the maximum reduction possible in COI in the resultant litter.<br />Breeders must try to match dogs so as to correct identified weaknesses, and compensate for genetic mutations with a goal of elimination of the diseases caused by mutant genes.  Our goal is to eventually reduce COI to as near 0% as we can for all dogs in the SCPS Registry. This will ensure the survival of the breed.<br />WHY?<br />Science and research tell us that COI rates of 5% or higher, place the breed on “the path to extinction.”  The goal of SCPS is the Preservation of the Scottish Collie.<br />Why Bother Certifying?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Your puppies can be automatically registered as a litter at a very low cost of $30 within the first 21 days following whelping.

Why is line-breeding, or inbreeding, not allowed in this organization when kennel clubs and other dog clubs have been line-breeding and inbreeding for a long, long time? What are the consequences of Inbreeding or a high Co-efficient of Inbreeding also known as COI ? <ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Line-breeding and inbreeding are responsible for the greater prevalence of inherited diseases specific to each breed of dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Inbreeding leads to homozygous dogs (genetic makeup of the dog lacks diversity) whose immune systems are compromised, leaving them vulnerable to many diseases, such as cancer, allergies, auto immune diseases and other serious conditions, such as digestive and liver problems.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Length of lifespan is also directly correlated to the degree of inbreeding or COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Temperament directly correlates to the degree of inbreeding. Aggressive behavior, timidity, nervousness, hyperactivity, or other temperament problems uncharacteristic of the traditional Collie temperament can be traced to close inbreeding and high COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">A further consequence of high levels of inbreeding is infertility. It is Nature’s way of shutting down an unhealthy line or strain. This has been observed among wild canines, such as wolves. A population can become too small to provide the genetic diversity required for healthy immune systems and heterozygous pups. The signs in dogs, or any canine population which becomes inbred, are smaller litters, failure of pups to survive, failure to conceive, and inability to produce a healthy litter in a natural delivery.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Any breed or group with a COI of 5% or higher is already on the pathway to extinction.</li></ul>So you can easily see what is to be gained for our beloved Scottish Collie in terms of all health issues by aiming ultimately for a Co-efficient of Inbreeding of 0%.  Our reason for being is for the Scottish Collie to be healthy, have a strong immune system, good temperament, produce large healthy litters, with a good long lifespan, free of all sorts of common health problems caused by a weak immune system. We will be working continuously to reduce COI to 0%. Happily, some of our Scottish Collies are starting there. We are assuring that the classic Scottish Collie breed will have a future!		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>GENETIC TESTING</strong></h2> 16. Why the big push for genetic testing?<br />Line-breeding has been practiced by most breeders of the twentieth century. There has been an over-use of popular sires, too many repeats in the pedigrees, and the breeding of closely related dogs has been considered acceptable to establish type.<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">At least five diseases common to the Collie are caused by recessive mutant genes. These mutant (abnormal) genes have spread like wildfire throughout the whole Collie landrace worldwide during the last century. Some are even traceable going back through the generations to a single dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">All mutations do originate in just one dog. It takes two copies of the mutant recessive gene, one from each parent, to create a puppy which is Affected with two Mutant genes.  As long as there is no inbreeding, these mutant genes do no harm.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Genetic markers have been found for all of the serious diseases afflicting the Collie landrace, so we are able to test our dogs with a simple cheek swab to identify a dog\'s disease profile.  Through testing, a Breeder knows if his dog is completely Clear of a particular mutation; if it is Not Affected by the mutation, but carries one copy of the gene (referred to as \"Carriers\"); or if his dog carries two copies of the mutant gene making them at-risk for the disease (\"Affected\"), and are only able to pass on mutant genes to their offspring.</li></ul>Breeding decisions must be based upon breeding up and away from these mutations if we are serious about eliminating these health problems for the Collie.  We are serious about our responsibility to the noble breed which has served Man so well since time immemorial.<br /><br />17. Why were CEA and MDR1 chosen specifically to test for first?<br />CEA and MDR1 are both very prevalent throughout the Collie landrace worldwide.		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>CEA - Collie eye anomaly</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">5% of Collies worldwide are CEA n/n, or genetically free of the mutant CEA gene. These Clear for CEA dogs cannot produce a puppy Affected by CEA no matter what the status of the other parent; so this, of course, is our goal.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">15% of all Collie landrace dogs are Carriers, or CEA n/m.  If two carriers are mated they will produce approximately 25% Clear for CEA n/n pups, 25% Affected for CEA m/m pups, and about 50% Carriers or CEA n/m, like their parents and will carry one good gene and one mutant gene.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">80% of all Collies will be CEA m/m. This means that they are genetically Affected, but may not be clinically affected. In a very small percentage of these affected dogs, clinical examination will reveal a large coloboma (or hole) close to the optic nerve, or a hemorrhage; in these few instances a detached retina and blindness is the end result. So although most dogs who are CEA m/m will not have their vision affected, it is very important to have them checked at 6 to 8 weeks by a canine Veterinary Ophthalmologist to find out what exactly are the results in each pup of the CEA Affected status, so that you will know with certainty what the prognosis will be for each pup.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">SCPS wishes to eradicate CEA. It can be done with genetic testing and planned breeding using the test results to guide choice of mates for breeding. If it prevents the birth of one puppy born blind, it will have been worthwhile. It is the right thing to do for this wonderful breed.</li></ul>		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>MDR1 - Multi-drug resistance</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Again this problem is caused by a mutant recessive gene.

Why was the Scottish Collie Preservation Society formed?</strong><br />The Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS) was formed in 2016 as an <strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">International Registry</strong> to preserve the original working farm collie that was used in the Scottish Highlands more than 100 years ago. SCPS selected to work off the earliest Scottish Collie Standards in the late 1800\'s-early 1900\'s and breed true to those Standards in order to revive the classic Scottish Collie breed.  Up until the 1950’s the Collie Standard was adhered to reasonably faithfully but due to modernization of the breed, the Rough Collie has taken the Scottish Collie in a different direction. <br /><br />The Scottish Collie should resemble a Rough or Smooth Collie. He should have a form which perfectly fits the function for which he was first bred, herding and guarding his flock of sheep (as described in the earliest Standards). The Collie had wonderful qualities bred-in over many hundreds of years such as herding instincts, loyalty, intelligence and a willingness to please his master and the versatility to perform many tasks.<br /><br />The Scottish Collie was once one of the healthiest, most versatile, and well known breeds of all dog world (Lassie is still the most well known dog globally). Unfortunately, today collies are rarely referred to as a true working breed and are difficult to find in most homes and farms. To restore the collie to it original standing is the goal of this group.<br /><br />2.  Is SCPS a registered Non-profit business?<br />Yes, SCPS is registered as a 501 (c) (3), Non-Profit Organization. SCPS is headquartered out of the state of Pennsylvania and is run by an elected volunteer Board of Directors.<br /><br /><strong style=\"font-weight: bold;\">3.

What are the benefits of membership in the SCPS?<br>The Benefits of belonging to such a group as SCPS are numerous indeed. When you register as a member you will be joining an organization dedicated to breeding healthy, genetically tested and genetically diverse, old type classic, Scottish Collies.<br>Remember Lassie (Pal)? Lassie/Pal was actually a male Rough Collie, or Scottish Collie, as they were called in the 1940’s and 50’s, who won the hearts of all. Pal lived to be 18 years old,&nbsp;then died of old age, being healthy right to the end. We plan to go “Back to the Future” and breed again just such very healthy, beautiful, clever Collies as Lassie surely was, with not too much of anything, nor too little, but just right.</p>\n<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\">\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">As a Member, you will be&nbsp;eligible to apply for registration&nbsp;of your dog(s) and any litters of puppies.*</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be assisted with&nbsp;Breeding Advice, and you will be provided with a summary &nbsp;for your dog outlining what you need to find in a mate and identifying strengths and weaknesses.&nbsp;<br>You will be provided with a&nbsp;Summary Evaluation&nbsp;that outlines your Dog\'s strengths and weaknesses, in order to assist you in finding a well-suited mate.</li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will gain access to our UC Davis/Betterbred Genetic Testing Program and Genetic based breeding tools.&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.betterbred.com/breedpage/?link=35</a></li>\n<li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be eligible&nbsp;to&nbsp;advertise your puppies and Kennel&nbsp;through our Website and Facebook pages.</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Breeders may&nbsp;register their&nbsp;Kennel name&nbsp;or prefix at&nbsp;no cost, and have a&nbsp;Kennel page in our online registry. &nbsp;</li>\n<li style=\"color: #535252; margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">You will be&nbsp;welcomed to our dedicated and enthusiastic group&nbsp;where all are entitled to state their views in positive and constructive ways (see our&nbsp;<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/code-of-ethics.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Code of Ethics</a>).

This is in the Collie’s DNA, and has so long been a part of this breed that most Collies know what to do instinctively. If we are to truly preserve this noble breed, we must preserve not just its appearance, but also the very essence of its character, intelligence, and willingness to help man in the care of his livestock. Only in this way will the Collie be fulfilling the function for which they were bred for thousands of years. </li></ul><br />12.

What is the Breeding Certification Program, and why should I bother getting my dog Certified?<br />The SCPS Breeding Certification Program signifies that the SCPS recognizes your dog as being fit to breed and it has been suitably matched to; correct weaknesses, compensate for identified mutant genes, and to lower the Co-efficient of Inbreeding (COI), so is bred to a low COI, unrelated mate.<br /> An SCPS Breeding Certified Dog/Bitch will:<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the first breeding for at least CEA and MDR1</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Be genetically tested prior to the second breeding for at least CN, DM, and vWD II (see Genetics)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Not have whelped more than three litters in her lifetime. (For the sake of the bitch\'s health, four is the maximum number of litters allowable per female dog in her lifetime.)</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Have been certified as healthy and sound by a Veterinarian, prior to submitting the Registration Application.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Approximate the SCPS Standard with an Evaluation Score of at least 50% .</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Will be bred to unrelated mates, preferably with a low COI, to maximize reduction of the COI in the litter being produced.</li></ul>If a dog has a very high COI of 20% or 25% should be bred to a completely unrelated dog, preferably one with a COI of 0%. This would be the ideal and provide the maximum reduction possible in COI in the resultant litter.<br />Breeders must try to match dogs so as to correct identified weaknesses, and compensate for genetic mutations with a goal of elimination of the diseases caused by mutant genes.  Our goal is to eventually reduce COI to as near 0% as we can for all dogs in the SCPS Registry. This will ensure the survival of the breed.<br />WHY?<br />Science and research tell us that COI rates of 5% or higher, place the breed on “the path to extinction.”  The goal of SCPS is the Preservation of the Scottish Collie.<br />Why Bother Certifying?<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Your puppies can be automatically registered as a litter at a very low cost of $30 within the first 21 days following whelping.

Why is line-breeding, or inbreeding, not allowed in this organization when kennel clubs and other dog clubs have been line-breeding and inbreeding for a long, long time? What are the consequences of Inbreeding or a high Co-efficient of Inbreeding also known as COI ? <ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Line-breeding and inbreeding are responsible for the greater prevalence of inherited diseases specific to each breed of dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Inbreeding leads to homozygous dogs (genetic makeup of the dog lacks diversity) whose immune systems are compromised, leaving them vulnerable to many diseases, such as cancer, allergies, auto immune diseases and other serious conditions, such as digestive and liver problems.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Length of lifespan is also directly correlated to the degree of inbreeding or COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Temperament directly correlates to the degree of inbreeding. Aggressive behavior, timidity, nervousness, hyperactivity, or other temperament problems uncharacteristic of the traditional Collie temperament can be traced to close inbreeding and high COI.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">A further consequence of high levels of inbreeding is infertility. It is Nature’s way of shutting down an unhealthy line or strain. This has been observed among wild canines, such as wolves. A population can become too small to provide the genetic diversity required for healthy immune systems and heterozygous pups. The signs in dogs, or any canine population which becomes inbred, are smaller litters, failure of pups to survive, failure to conceive, and inability to produce a healthy litter in a natural delivery.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Any breed or group with a COI of 5% or higher is already on the pathway to extinction.</li></ul>So you can easily see what is to be gained for our beloved Scottish Collie in terms of all health issues by aiming ultimately for a Co-efficient of Inbreeding of 0%.  Our reason for being is for the Scottish Collie to be healthy, have a strong immune system, good temperament, produce large healthy litters, with a good long lifespan, free of all sorts of common health problems caused by a weak immune system. We will be working continuously to reduce COI to 0%. Happily, some of our Scottish Collies are starting there. We are assuring that the classic Scottish Collie breed will have a future!		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>GENETIC TESTING</strong></h2> 16. Why the big push for genetic testing?<br />Line-breeding has been practiced by most breeders of the twentieth century. There has been an over-use of popular sires, too many repeats in the pedigrees, and the breeding of closely related dogs has been considered acceptable to establish type.<ul style=\"margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; color: #535252; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">At least five diseases common to the Collie are caused by recessive mutant genes. These mutant (abnormal) genes have spread like wildfire throughout the whole Collie landrace worldwide during the last century. Some are even traceable going back through the generations to a single dog.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">All mutations do originate in just one dog. It takes two copies of the mutant recessive gene, one from each parent, to create a puppy which is Affected with two Mutant genes.  As long as there is no inbreeding, these mutant genes do no harm.</li><li style=\"margin: 3px 0px 0px !important; list-style: outside disc !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 5px !important;\">Genetic markers have been found for all of the serious diseases afflicting the Collie landrace, so we are able to test our dogs with a simple cheek swab to identify a dog\'s disease profile.  Through testing, a Breeder knows if his dog is completely Clear of a particular mutation; if it is Not Affected by the mutation, but carries one copy of the gene (referred to as \"Carriers\"); or if his dog carries two copies of the mutant gene making them at-risk for the disease (\"Affected\"), and are only able to pass on mutant genes to their offspring.</li></ul>Breeding decisions must be based upon breeding up and away from these mutations if we are serious about eliminating these health problems for the Collie.  We are serious about our responsibility to the noble breed which has served Man so well since time immemorial.<br /><br />17. Why were CEA and MDR1 chosen specifically to test for first?<br />CEA and MDR1 are both very prevalent throughout the Collie landrace worldwide.		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>CEA - Collie eye anomaly</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">5% of Collies worldwide are CEA n/n, or genetically free of the mutant CEA gene. These Clear for CEA dogs cannot produce a puppy Affected by CEA no matter what the status of the other parent; so this, of course, is our goal.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">15% of all Collie landrace dogs are Carriers, or CEA n/m.  If two carriers are mated they will produce approximately 25% Clear for CEA n/n pups, 25% Affected for CEA m/m pups, and about 50% Carriers or CEA n/m, like their parents and will carry one good gene and one mutant gene.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">80% of all Collies will be CEA m/m. This means that they are genetically Affected, but may not be clinically affected. In a very small percentage of these affected dogs, clinical examination will reveal a large coloboma (or hole) close to the optic nerve, or a hemorrhage; in these few instances a detached retina and blindness is the end result. So although most dogs who are CEA m/m will not have their vision affected, it is very important to have them checked at 6 to 8 weeks by a canine Veterinary Ophthalmologist to find out what exactly are the results in each pup of the CEA Affected status, so that you will know with certainty what the prognosis will be for each pup.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">SCPS wishes to eradicate CEA. It can be done with genetic testing and planned breeding using the test results to guide choice of mates for breeding. If it prevents the birth of one puppy born blind, it will have been worthwhile. It is the right thing to do for this wonderful breed.</li></ul>		\n		<h2 style=\"overflow-wrap: break-word; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-left: auto; padding: 0px; color: #000000; line-height: 1.1em; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>MDR1 - Multi-drug resistance</strong></h2><ul style=\"color: #535252; margin: 5px 0px !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3em !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Again this problem is caused by a mutant recessive gene. MDR1 at all levels of testing (Normal/Normal, Carrier, or Mutant/Mutant) cannot block many chemicals or drugs, which are toxic to him, from causing severe neurological damage, or even death.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Even Carriers (dogs who carry only one mutant and recessive gene, meaning n/m) are susceptible to neurological damage from many drugs, (not only Ivermectin).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Dogs working livestock are at a higher risk.

Our breeders selectively match their collies for genetic diversity and pups are raised in a home/farm environment where they are nurtured and socialized early on.<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" />The Scottish Collie is known for it\'s versatility, intelligence,  nurturing nature and of course beauty.  While many breeders may tell you they have Scottish Collies, unless they are registered with us at SCPS, you can not be sure they meet the requirements of the SCPS standards for breed standard, health and working ability of the Scottish Collies.  <br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" />Where are the Puppies?<br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" />Our puppies are in high demand!  While we have only just begun to breed back to the classic Scottish Collie, we are growing quickly and our pups are becoming a popular choice for those who want a Lassie type collie or want a working collie to accommodate their active life styles.  <br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" />As with any breed, our breeders are selectively breeding for specific traits in their lines.  Whether you are looking for a working farm collie, therapy dog, agility/sporting dog or loving family pet, we have a breeder who can meet your needs. <br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" />We invite you to become a <a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/join-today.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Member</a>, follow us<a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px; background-color: #fff2cc;\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/scottishcollieps/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> </a>on <a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity;\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/groups/scottishcollieps/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook</a>, and be a part of this growing and enthusiastic preservation effort.  Thank you so much for your interest.  <br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" /><br style=\"color: #626262; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px;\" />In our <a style=\"color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-property: opacity; font-family: Lato; letter-spacing: 0.32px; background-color: #fff2cc;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/find-a-puppy-807232.html\">Available Puppies</a> page we have a gallery of our currently available pups and future breedings.
