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.\nThe 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.\nThe 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.\nOf 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.\n(Courtesy photo Jessica Hennings \/ Gracehaven Collies)<\/div>\n\n<hr style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 892px; visibility: hidden;\" \/>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-social \" style=\"position: relative;

If fact our sweet little Malia is a rescue from the reservation and is a amazing dog.\u00a0 My concern with these posts about \"Adopt don't Shop\" is in reality this is a very dangerous message.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #252525;\">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.\u00a0 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.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\n\nHealth is also an important issue. When rescuing a dog, it is often unknown\u00a0what 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.\u00a0 It is so important that our beloved animals live a quality of life free from as many health issues as possible.\n\n<span style=\"color: #252525;\">If you are looking for a faithful loving companion, I often encourage people to consider rescues and shelters as an option.\u00a0 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.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #252525;\">One of our breeders at SCPS is focused on therapy\/service dogs.\u00a0 She needs very specific traits in her lines to accomplish this.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #252525;\">We also have breeders focused on farm work, agility, etc...\u00a0 \u00a0All these breeders work hard in selecting lines that provide the traits needed to perform in those roles.\u00a0 At SCPS our breeders know their lines and can match you with a pup to meet your lifestyle and needs.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #252525;\">It is important that we find balance between rescue and breeders.\u00a0 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.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #252525;\">Thank\u00a0 you for support the Scottish Collie Preservation Society.\u00a0<\/span>\n\n<span style=\"color: #252525;\">Courtesy photos: Hycottage Farm Collies<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-social \" style=\"position: relative; margin-bottom: 10px; line-height: 1;\">\n<div class=\"blog-social-item blog-fb-like\" style=\"position: relative; z-index: 2; float: left; margin-right: 33px;\"><span style=\"display: inline-block; position: relative; text-align: justify; vertical-align: bottom; width: 90px; height: 28px;\"><iframe class=\"\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: visible; width: 90px; height: 28px;\" title=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\" 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\" name=\"fe24a8698e9a94\" width=\"90px\" height=\"1000px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-post-separator\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/td>\n<td class=\"blog-sidebar\" style=\"width: 384px;\" valign=\"top\">\n<div id=\"967194074623504403-sidebar\" class=\"column-blog\" style=\"float: right; width: 240px; max-width: 240px;\">\n<div class=\"blog-sidebar-separator\" style=\"padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px;\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"wsite-image wsite-image-border-none \" style=\"position: relative; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px; text-align: center;\">\n\n<a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-width: 0px !important;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com\/uploads\/1\/1\/9\/9\/119920223\/published\/classic-collie-5.png?1579026372\" alt=\"Picture\" \/><\/a>\n<div style=\"font-size: 14.4px;\"><\/div><h2 class=\"blog-author-title\" style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: #000000; 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>\n<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: #626262 !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\u00a0 acreage\u00a0with horses, barn cats and three dogs.\u00a0 I\u00a0have been a dog trainer for our local county 4-H chapter and have\u00a0served 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.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0My knowledge of SCPS is extensive as a founding member. I hope you will find my blogs educational and worth reading.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"blog-archives-title\" style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; color: #000000; font-family: Unite, sans-serif;
