		[wpforms id="1511" title="false" description="false"]<p>The Collie Club of America is one of the oldest breed-specific clubs in existence in the United States (founded in 1886). The Collie Club in England dates from 1881.</p><p><br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;">Quoted from Collie Club of America:<br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;">Unfortunately, the Collie's exact origins are shrouded in obscurity. It has been the subject of much research and speculation. The word "Collie" is as obscure as the breed itself. The name has been spelled many different ways: Coll, Colley, Coally and Coaly. Generally, the most accepted origin of the word is "Coll" - the Anglo-Saxon word for "black".<br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;"><br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;">In the 18th century, the Rough Collie's natural home was in the highlands of Scotland, where he had been used for centuries as a sheepdog. The dogs were bred with great care in order to assist their masters in the herding and guarding of their flock.<br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;"><br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;">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 style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;"><br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;">In 1879 the first English Rough Collie was imported to this country. It is from England that we find the famous pillars of the breed, from which the American fanciers sought not only their next big winner, but also their foundation stock.<br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;"><br style="color: #626262; font-family: Lato; font-size: medium; letter-spacing: 0.32px;">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. (exerts from American kennels Club).</p>
