Whatever the colour may be, the nose must be black.<br /><br /><strong>The teeth:</strong> should be of good size, sound and level, very slight unevenness is permissible.<br /><br /><strong>The jaws:</strong> should be clean cut and powerful.<br /><br /><strong>The eyes:</strong> are a very important feature and give expression to the dog; they should be of a medium size, set somewhat obliquely, of almond shape and of brown colour except in the case of \"merles\", when the eyes are frequently (one or both) blue and white or china; expression full of intelligence, with a quick alert look when listening.<br /><br /><strong>The ears:</strong> should be small and moderately wide at the base; and placed not too close together on top of the skull, nor too much to the side of the head.

font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong>The English Clubs\' Revised Standard – 1898</strong></h2><strong>The skull:</strong> should be flat, moderately wide between the ears, and gradually tapering to the eyes. There should be only a slight depression at stop. The width of skull necessarily depends upon the combined length of skull and muzzle, and the whole must be considered in connection with the size of the dog. The cheek should not be full or prominent<br /><br /><strong>The muzzle:</strong> should be of fair length tapering to the nose, and must not show weakness or be snipy or lippy. Whatever the colour may be, the nose must be black.<br /><br /><strong>The teeth:</strong> should be of good size, sound and level, very slight unevenness is permissible.<br /><br /><strong>The jaws:</strong> should be clean cut and powerful.<br /><br /><strong>The eyes:</strong> are a very important feature and give expression to the dog; they should be of a medium size, set somewhat obliquely, of almond shape and of brown colour except in the case of \"merles\", when the eyes are frequently (one or both) blue and white or china; expression full of intelligence, with a quick alert look when listening.<br /><br /><strong>The ears:</strong> should be small and moderately wide at the base; and placed not too close together on top of the skull, nor too much to the side of the head. When in repose they should be usually carried thrown back, but when on the alert brought forward and carried semi-erect, with tip slightly drooping in the attitude of listening.<br /><br /><strong>The neck:</strong> should be muscular, powerful and of fair length, and somewhat arched.<br /><br /><strong>The body:</strong> should be rather long, with well sprung ribs, chest deep, fairly broad behind the shoulders, which should be sloping, loins slightly arched and powerful. The dog should be straight in front.<br /><br /><strong>The forelegs:</strong> should be straight and muscular, neither in nor out at elbows, with a fair amount of bone; the forearm somewhat fleshy, the pasterns showing flexibility without weakness.<br /><br /><strong>The hindlegs:</strong> should be muscular at the thighs, clean and sinewy below the hocks, with well bent stifles.<br /><br /><strong>The feet:</strong> should be oval in shape, soles well padded, and the toes arched and close together. The hind feet less arched, hocks well let down and powerful.<br /><br /><strong>The brush:</strong> should be moderately long, carried low when the dog is quiet, with a slight upward \"swirl\" at the end, and may be gaily carried when the dog is excited, but not over the back.<br /><br /><strong>The coat:</strong> should be very dense, the outer coat harsh to the touch, the inner or under coat soft, furry, and very close as almost hide the skin. The mane and frill should be very abundant, the mask or face smooth, as also the ears at the tips, but they should be carry more hair towards the base; the forelegs slightly feathered, the hindlegs above the hocks profusely so, but below the hocks fairly smooth, although all heavily coated collies are liable to grow a slight feathering. Hair on the brush very profuse.<br /><br /><strong>Colour:</strong> Immaterial.<br /><br /><strong>General Character:</strong> A lithe active dog, his deep chest showing lung power, his neck strength, his sloping shoulders and well bent hocks indicating speed, and his expression high intelligence. He should be fair length on the leg, giving him more of racy than cloddy appearance. In a few words a Collie should show endurance, activity and intelligence, with free and true action.<br /><br /><strong>Size &amp; weight:</strong> Dogs 22in. to 24in. at the shoulders, Bitches 20in. to 22in. Dogs 4 lb to 65lb, Bitches 40lb to 55lb.<br /><br /><strong>The Smooth Collie</strong> only differs from the Rough in its coat, which should be hard, dense and quite smooth.<br /><br /><strong>Faults:</strong> Domed skull, high peaked occipital bone, heavy, pendulous or prick ears, weak jaws, snipy muzzle, full staring or light eyes, crooked legs, large flat or hare feet, curly or soft coat, cow hocks, and brush twisted or carried right over the back, under or overshot mouth.<br /><br /><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scps-breed-standard-2016.html\">THE SCOTTISH COLLIE PRESERVATION SOCIETY\'S STANDARD – 2016</a><br /><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/the-scottish-collie-clubs-standard-1885.html\">THE SCOTTISH COLLIE CLUB\'S STANDARD – 1885</a><br /><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/the-english-clubs-revised-standard-1898.html\"><strong>THE ENGLISH CLUBS\' REVISED STANDARD</strong> –<strong> 1898</strong></a><br /><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/revised-rough-and-smooth-collie-standard-1910.html\">REVISED ROUGH AND SMOOTH COLLIE STANDARD – 1910</a>		\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/\" role=\"button\">\n						HOME\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/about-scps/\" role=\"button\">\n						ABOUT SCPS\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/shop-now/\" role=\"button\">\n						SHOP NOW\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/member-services/\" role=\"button\">\n						MEMBER SERVICES\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/contact-us/\" 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.

font-size: 31px !important;\">Versatility Frequently Asked Questions</h2>How do I enroll my dog?  <br />There are two ways to enroll your collie.  First, you can enroll your dog when you apply to the Registry. Second, if your dog is already in our Registry you can fill out the online enrollment form on the website. There is a one-time $15.00 fee to enroll your dog into the program to help cover initial costs.<br /><br />How do I get a Title on my dog?  <br />For a basic R-I (Representative-One) title, you need to earn a total of five points in three different Versatility categories, as detailed in the Handbook. Once your documentation of your dog’s point-earning activities has been submitted via the email on the site and approved, a ribbon and title certificate will be awarded and mailed to your dog.  Further titles require more points to be earned, and points across all categories must be earned for the more advanced Ambassador titles. Please refer to the Handbook for details.<br /><br />How can I earn points?  <br />Points can be earned by submitting documentation of completed classes and accomplishments in any of the qualified categories through other venues such as (but not limited to) AKC, NADAC, AKC, ASCA or NHDA Herding, Paw Print Genetics, Performance Clubs, and video submissions.<br /><br />Can I get points in Confirmation?  <br />No, because SCPS has its own breed standards that vary from other registries. At this time we do not accept confirmation points from any venue.<br /> <br />The other day, I was walking my Scottish Collie and someone stopped me to ask what kind of dog she was.  I told him all about our club and how Scottish Collies are unique. Can we get an Education point?<br /><br />We only accept activities for points that are organized so that you can provide documentation.  In other words, you must have the plan and intent beforehand to attend an event, seminar, training class, or similar with your dog, as either a demo dog for the skill being taught (and it should be a skill covered in one of our Versatility Categories), or as a representative of the SCPS.  You must also be able to provide documentation of your attendance at said event in an official capacity. By adhering to these requirements, we will be able to have a fair baseline for everyone to earn points in a consistent fashion.		\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.

font-size: 31px !important;\">Versatility Frequently Asked Questions</h2>How do I enroll my dog?  <br />There are two ways to enroll your collie.  First, you can enroll your dog when you apply to the Registry. Second, if your dog is already in our Registry you can fill out the online enrollment form on the website. There is a one-time $15.00 fee to enroll your dog into the program to help cover initial costs.<br /><br />How do I get a Title on my dog?  <br />For a basic R-I (Representative-One) title, you need to earn a total of five points in three different Versatility categories, as detailed in the Handbook. Once your documentation of your dog’s point-earning activities has been submitted via the email on the site and approved, a ribbon and title certificate will be awarded and mailed to your dog.  Further titles require more points to be earned, and points across all categories must be earned for the more advanced Ambassador titles. Please refer to the Handbook for details.<br /><br />How can I earn points?  <br />Points can be earned by submitting documentation of completed classes and accomplishments in any of the qualified categories through other venues such as (but not limited to) AKC, NADAC, AKC, ASCA or NHDA Herding, Paw Print Genetics, Performance Clubs, and video submissions.<br /><br />Can I get points in Confirmation?  <br />No, because SCPS has its own breed standards that vary from other registries. At this time we do not accept confirmation points from any venue.<br /> <br />The other day, I was walking my Scottish Collie and someone stopped me to ask what kind of dog she was.  I told him all about our club and how Scottish Collies are unique. Can we get an Education point?<br /><br />We only accept activities for points that are organized so that you can provide documentation.  In other words, you must have the plan and intent beforehand to attend an event, seminar, training class, or similar with your dog, as either a demo dog for the skill being taught (and it should be a skill covered in one of our Versatility Categories), or as a representative of the SCPS.  You must also be able to provide documentation of your attendance at said event in an official capacity. By adhering to these requirements, we will be able to have a fair baseline for everyone to earn points in a consistent fashion.		\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/\" role=\"button\">\n						HOME\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/about-scps/\" role=\"button\">\n						ABOUT SCPS\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/shop-now/\" role=\"button\">\n						SHOP NOW\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/member-services/\" role=\"button\">\n						MEMBER SERVICES\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/contact-us/\" 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.

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /> <br />Cost to Participate: There is one-time $15 fee to join the program – this fee includes the cost of your dog’s first title and awards when they are earned.  There is no subsequent up-front cost to submit information to be reviewed for future titles.  <ul style=\"margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined by the judge’s panel that your dog has earned a subsequent title, you will be invoiced for $10, which will include a printed certificate and ribbon, shipped to you.  Your dog’s name will also be updated in the SCPS Registry to reflect the new title earned, and an announcement posted on the club Facebook page (please send us a picture of your dog with his/her award for the post).</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Should it be determined that your dog has not earned a title, a member of the judges’ panel will contact you to let you know what is needed.</li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\">Fees to participate are designed to cover the cost of prizes and shipping.  The SCPS Versatility Committee reserves the right to adjust the fees if necessary.</li></ul><br />Judging: Materials submitted for consideration will be reviewed by a panel of volunteer judges.  The judges’ panel reserves the right to consult with outside experts when and if needed.  Please note that judges are all volunteers who evaluate entries outside of work hours; please be patient and give us a week from receipt of your submission to review your entry!  <br /><br />Titles to be offered for ‘Equivalent Work’: we happily solicit and accept documentation of your dog performing work around your farm or ranch that is roughly equivalent to the work required to earn titles at trials, competitions, etc.  What better way to show your dog’s instincts and training than the practical, ‘paws-on’ tasks they were developed to perform ‘in the field’? Please see the sections, below, on Categories, Titles, and Submitting Your Documentation for more information.<br />Sportsmanlike and Ethical Conduct: The SCPS Versatility Program is designed to support and celebrate the human/canine bond, and at the same time, relies in large part on the honor system.  We encourage sportsmanlike conduct and responsible dog ownership.<br />Questions are welcome!  Help us make this program run smoothly, clearly and efficiently.  Contact the Committee at <a style=\"color: inherit;

It can be a way to promote your dog as a sire or dam, or prove to prospective puppy buyers the quality of your breeding program – or it can be a way to show how proud you are of the work you and your dog have done together! It is designed to be merit-based and is not like AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program. Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /><br />You\'re just 3 steps away from your own Versatility-titled Scottish Collie!<ul style=\"color: #61712c; margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><u><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/join-today.html\">Become a Member</a></u></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><u><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/apply.html\">Apply for Registration</a></u></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><u><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-enrollment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enroll in our Versatility Program</a></u></li></ul>		\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.

It can be a way to promote your dog as a sire or dam, or prove to prospective puppy buyers the quality of your breeding program – or it can be a way to show how proud you are of the work you and your dog have done together! It is designed to be merit-based and is not like AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program. Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /><br />You\'re just 3 steps away from your own Versatility-titled Scottish Collie!<ul style=\"color: #61712c; margin-top: 5px !important; margin-bottom: 5px !important; margin-left: 0px !important; padding-left: 3em !important; list-style-position: outside !important; list-style-image: initial !important;\"><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><u><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/join-today.html\">Become a Member</a></u></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><u><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/apply.html\">Apply for Registration</a></u></li><li style=\"margin-top: 3px !important; padding-left: 5px !important; list-style: outside disc !important;\"><u><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-enrollment.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Enroll in our Versatility Program</a></u></li></ul>		\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/\" role=\"button\">\n						HOME\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/about-scps/\" role=\"button\">\n						ABOUT SCPS\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/shop-now/\" role=\"button\">\n						SHOP NOW\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/member-services/\" role=\"button\">\n						MEMBER SERVICES\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/contact-us/\" 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.

It can be a way to promote your dog as a sire or dam, or prove to prospective puppy buyers the quality of your breeding program – or it can be a way to show how proud you are of the work you and your dog have done together! It is designed to be merit-based and is not like AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program. Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards. <a style=\"display: inline-block; background-position: 100% -100px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; cursor: pointer; height: auto; transition-duration: 300ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; color: #ffffff !important; background-image: none !important; background-color: #000000 !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 14px !important;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-program.html\">VERSATILITY OVERVIEW</a>  <a style=\"display: inline-block; background-position: 100% -100px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; cursor: pointer; height: auto; transition-duration: 300ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; color: #ffffff !important; background-image: none !important; background-color: #000000 !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 14px !important;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-enrollment.html\">VERSATILITY ENROLLMENT</a>  <a style=\"display: inline-block; background-position: 100% -100px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; cursor: pointer; height: auto; transition-duration: 300ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; color: #ffffff !important; background-image: none !important; background-color: #000000 !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 14px !important;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-faq.html\">VERSATILITY FAQ</a>  <a style=\"display: inline-block; background-position: 100% -100px; background-size: initial; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; cursor: pointer; height: auto; transition-duration: 300ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; color: #ffffff !important; background-image: none !important; background-color: #000000 !important; font-weight: normal !important; font-size: 14px !important;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-title-app.html\">TITLE APPLICATION</a> </td><td style=\"padding: 0px 15px; width: 628px; border-bottom: 0px !important;\"><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-width: 0px !important;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/editor/versatiltytitus_1.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a> </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.

I have lived all over the United States as well as England and France. I currently reside in Spokane, Washington with my 2 Scottish Collies, Oliver (6.5 years) and Skye (4 months). I have participated in advanced obedience training with Oliver and plan on training Skye to herd sheep. I will be registering her with SCPS when she is 9 months old. My ultimate goal is to create a sustainable heritage breed farm and raise quality all-purpose farm collies.

Due to the tough terrain of rocks, peaks and steep valleys it was difficult for the shepherds to herd and gather their flocks. Due to the challenging landscape and the shepherd\'s inability to navigate it easily, it was important to breed a dog who was light and agile to easily cover the mountainous areas, with the endurance to work for hours, herd sheep with a soft eye and highly intelligent to be able to regulate pressure to avoid spooking the sheep which would cause injury as they scrambled through the rocky landscape.</p>\n<p>If is also evident that the shepherd needed a herding dog of distinct intelligence to not only execute the shepherd\'s commands at quite a distance as he was often unable to travel the terrain with the collie. The collies unique ability to independently assess the sheep and move them safely with little guidance from the shepherd was a valuable trait and very sought after. Total obedience to his master was a must and bred into the lines of the classic Scottish Collie.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It is only reasonable to assume that owners of livestock in the 1800`s took great care in breeding collies by selecting for the purpose of the traits needed to perform the duties of a good shepherd dog. Although dogs who lacked the skills to perform the duties were generally not bred, the working Scottish Collie could be found in great abundance.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately every dog has his day and eventually the Scottish Collie migrated into Europe and was discovered by those who did not need the skills of the working Scottish Collie but loved the intelligence, beauty and temperament. As a result the collie was bred away from it\'s original purpose as a working farm collie and morphed into the Rough Collie and Smooth Collie we know today. The rise of the show collie soon followed and the collie was bred to be a flashier breed with a heavier coat, larger in statute and less drive so as to compete in the show ring.</p>\n<p><br style=\"letter-spacing: 0.32px;\">In 1900\'s the Scottish Collie was also cross bred to the Welsh Collie in Wales and the Border Collie to create a herding dog with the collie obedience and a higher drive for herding the low land areas where more pressure and speed could be used to move the flocks safely. Soon the Scottish Collie dwindled in numbers on the farms while at the same time the Rough Collie and Border Collie grew in popularity.<br style=\"letter-spacing: 0.32px;\"><br style=\"letter-spacing: 0.32px;\">It is now very difficult to locate the original Scottish Collies from Scotland.&nbsp; At SCPS, we are looking to identify collies worldwide who still carry the traits of the classic working farm collie and breed back to the original Scottish Collie who&nbsp; farmers coveted for their lithe, agile, versatile and highly intelligent characteristics.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\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.

Due to the tough terrain of rocks, peaks and steep valleys it was difficult for the shepherds to herd and gather their flocks. Due to the challenging landscape and the shepherd\'s inability to navigate it easily, it was important to breed a dog who was light and agile to easily cover the mountainous areas, with the endurance to work for hours, herd sheep with a soft eye and highly intelligent to be able to regulate pressure to avoid spooking the sheep which would cause injury as they scrambled through the rocky landscape.</p>\n<p>If is also evident that the shepherd needed a herding dog of distinct intelligence to not only execute the shepherd\'s commands at quite a distance as he was often unable to travel the terrain with the collie. The collies unique ability to independently assess the sheep and move them safely with little guidance from the shepherd was a valuable trait and very sought after. Total obedience to his master was a must and bred into the lines of the classic Scottish Collie.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It is only reasonable to assume that owners of livestock in the 1800`s took great care in breeding collies by selecting for the purpose of the traits needed to perform the duties of a good shepherd dog. Although dogs who lacked the skills to perform the duties were generally not bred, the working Scottish Collie could be found in great abundance.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately every dog has his day and eventually the Scottish Collie migrated into Europe and was discovered by those who did not need the skills of the working Scottish Collie but loved the intelligence, beauty and temperament. As a result the collie was bred away from it\'s original purpose as a working farm collie and morphed into the Rough Collie and Smooth Collie we know today. The rise of the show collie soon followed and the collie was bred to be a flashier breed with a heavier coat, larger in statute and less drive so as to compete in the show ring.</p>\n<p><br style=\"letter-spacing: 0.32px;\">In 1900\'s the Scottish Collie was also cross bred to the Welsh Collie in Wales and the Border Collie to create a herding dog with the collie obedience and a higher drive for herding the low land areas where more pressure and speed could be used to move the flocks safely.

Due to the tough terrain of rocks, peaks and steep valleys it was difficult for the shepherds to herd and gather their flocks. Due to the challenging landscape and the shepherd\'s inability to navigate it easily, it was important to breed a dog who was light and agile to easily cover the mountainous areas, with the endurance to work for hours, herd sheep with a soft eye and highly intelligent to be able to regulate pressure to avoid spooking the sheep which would cause injury as they scrambled through the rocky landscape.</p>\n<p>If is also evident that the shepherd needed a herding dog of distinct intelligence to not only execute the shepherd\'s commands at quite a distance as he was often unable to travel the terrain with the collie. The collies unique ability to independently assess the sheep and move them safely with little guidance from the shepherd was a valuable trait and very sought after. Total obedience to his master was a must and bred into the lines of the classic Scottish Collie.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It is only reasonable to assume that owners of livestock in the 1800`s took great care in breeding collies by selecting for the purpose of the traits needed to perform the duties of a good shepherd dog. Although dogs who lacked the skills to perform the duties were generally not bred, the working Scottish Collie could be found in great abundance.</p>\n<p>Unfortunately every dog has his day and eventually the Scottish Collie migrated into Europe and was discovered by those who did not need the skills of the working Scottish Collie but loved the intelligence, beauty and temperament. As a result the collie was bred away from it\'s original purpose as a working farm collie and morphed into the Rough Collie and Smooth Collie we know today. The rise of the show collie soon followed and the collie was bred to be a flashier breed with a heavier coat, larger in statute and less drive so as to compete in the show ring.</p>\n<p><br style=\"letter-spacing: 0.32px;\">In 1900\'s the Scottish Collie was also cross bred to the Welsh Collie in Wales and the Border Collie to create a herding dog with the collie obedience and a higher drive for herding the low land areas where more pressure and speed could be used to move the flocks safely. Soon the Scottish Collie dwindled in numbers on the farms while at the same time the Rough Collie and Border Collie grew in popularity.<br style=\"letter-spacing: 0.32px;\"><br style=\"letter-spacing: 0.32px;\">It is now very difficult to locate the original Scottish Collies from Scotland.&nbsp; At SCPS, we are looking to identify collies worldwide who still carry the traits of the classic working farm collie and breed back to the original Scottish Collie who&nbsp; farmers coveted for their lithe, agile, versatile and highly intelligent characteristics.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/\" role=\"button\">\n						HOME\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/about-scps/\" role=\"button\">\n						ABOUT SCPS\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/shop-now/\" role=\"button\">\n						SHOP NOW\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/member-services/\" role=\"button\">\n						MEMBER SERVICES\n					</a>\n			<a href=\"https://scpscollies.com/contact-us/\" 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.

As breeders, dog\'s exhibiting certain desired traits are selectively bred to pass on the genes that are believed to contribute to those traits. In regards to certain traits such as coat type, size, structure, this can be done with much success by pairing two like collies, however, we also know that even when two similar collies such as two parents with excellent herding instincts are bred together, there is a chance of producing a litter with one or two pups who do not exhibit any herding ability whatsoever. Specific behavioral traits can be much harder to breed because environment has a big influence of a dog\'s expressed behavior traits.<br /><br />There are certain behaviors that are bred into a dog\'s DNA which we refer to as Genotype. Genotype is the genetic makeup of the dog. How they are hardwired. Genotype in puppies can determine which pup in the litter is an alpha and which pup is more timid, which pup is high energy and which pup is more docile and low key. These traits are predetermined at birth.<br /><br />Each pup also exhibits phenotypes, which is simply the expression of a trait. An example would be herding instinct. A pup\'s genotype would identify if a pup has an natural herding instinct, where as the  phenotype would determine the amount or variation of the herding trait that is expressed in each pup with that gene.<br /><br />To complicate things further, while phenotype is locked in at birth, genotype, which is the expression of the gene can be influenced by environment.<br /><br />Example: Three pups have herding instinct in a litter. Depending on exposure to livestock at an early age, how the pup\'s instincts are formed into correct behavior when introduced to livestock and what training if any they receive will impact how that herding gene is expressed in each pup.<br /><br />When selecting a pup it is important to know the expected genotypes in the breeding of a litter you are looking at and how much a those genes (phenotypes) are expressed in each pup. If your pup does not have the genotype traits for the task you want your pup to perform as an adult, you may not be happy with the end results of your training. A high energy pup may never make a wonderful service or therapy dog nor will a low energy pup make for a good herding, sporting dog no matter how much training they receive.<br /><br />Finally, it is important to know the environment you provide for your pup, will have a huge impact on how much of the traits your pup has inherited are expressed in his/her behavior and working ability.  Purchasing a pup because you love how successful his/her sire is as a therapy dog or agility dog, does not mean your pup will automatically behave to same way if you don\'t invest in training your dog.  Lassie wasn\'t simply born talented, it came from extensive training and exposure to a nurturing environment.<br /><br />In my next blog I will discuss what traits are hardwired in a pup and for the most part can not be changed and what traits can be influenced through environment and training. There is no such thing as a bad pup. The key to selecting the right pup in a litter for you is knowing what you are looking for and which puppy has the traits to match your needs. <a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-width: 0px !important;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/121328354-3410141415687844-6116044075497007871-o.jpg?1602872506\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a> The smartest dog breed is the border collie. A retriever naturally retrieves without training. A beagle will always find its way home. German shepherds are great guard dogs. There are many breed stereotypes, but are they based on fact? <br /><br />Today, due to the the emphasis on appearance with most kennel clubs, many breeders focus more on looks than how a dog thinks or behaves, and there are often more differences within a breed sometimes than between breeds. A dog that doesn\'t retrieve is still a retriever, and a dog that doesn\'t herd sheep is still a herder. All this makes finding breed differences in qualities like intelligence and behavior all the more difficult.<br /><br />Several years ago, a good friend of mine paid top dollar for a beautiful, health tested Golden Retriever to be his new bird dog. Unfortunately his new retriever did not retrieve, did not like water and had very little energy or interest in working. It turns out he came from show lines and natural behavior traits had been bred out of his lines. They still have him but he is a sweet family pet. <br /><br />How does this happen? If breeders do not breed for behavior of the breed type and focus only on health or physical traits, the temperament and natural working ability of the breed will be bred out of the line. This is why so many dogs are no longer true to breed type in personality and behavior.<br /><br />Collies should not be couch potatoes or timid. Collies are a herding breed and should be confident and have enough drive to be able to perform a large multitude of tasks whether it be herding, sporting events, companionship, therapy or service dogs. <br /><br />At SCPS, when breeding dogs are accepted into our registry, emphasis is placed on each collie\'s ability to perform true to breed type. Our breeders must demonstrate their dog\'s abilities when applying to our registry, so you know what to expect from the puppies in a litter. We also encourage our members to enroll their collies in our Versatility Program that rewards dogs for their demonstrated abilities and accomplishments.<br /><br />Purchasing a puppy that fits your lifestyle and meets your expectations is important. When looking to add a new puppy to your family, you can shop with confidence at SCPS as our breeders provide extensive information about their breeding collies on health, size, temperament and working ability.

As breeders, dog\'s exhibiting certain desired traits are selectively bred to pass on the genes that are believed to contribute to those traits. In regards to certain traits such as coat type, size, structure, this can be done with much success by pairing two like collies, however, we also know that even when two similar collies such as two parents with excellent herding instincts are bred together, there is a chance of producing a litter with one or two pups who do not exhibit any herding ability whatsoever. Specific behavioral traits can be much harder to breed because environment has a big influence of a dog\'s expressed behavior traits.<br /><br />There are certain behaviors that are bred into a dog\'s DNA which we refer to as Genotype. Genotype is the genetic makeup of the dog. How they are hardwired. Genotype in puppies can determine which pup in the litter is an alpha and which pup is more timid, which pup is high energy and which pup is more docile and low key.

As breeders, dog\'s exhibiting certain desired traits are selectively bred to pass on the genes that are believed to contribute to those traits. In regards to certain traits such as coat type, size, structure, this can be done with much success by pairing two like collies, however, we also know that even when two similar collies such as two parents with excellent herding instincts are bred together, there is a chance of producing a litter with one or two pups who do not exhibit any herding ability whatsoever. Specific behavioral traits can be much harder to breed because environment has a big influence of a dog\'s expressed behavior traits.<br /><br />There are certain behaviors that are bred into a dog\'s DNA which we refer to as Genotype. Genotype is the genetic makeup of the dog. How they are hardwired. Genotype in puppies can determine which pup in the litter is an alpha and which pup is more timid, which pup is high energy and which pup is more docile and low key. These traits are predetermined at birth.<br /><br />Each pup also exhibits phenotypes, which is simply the expression of a trait. An example would be herding instinct. A pup\'s genotype would identify if a pup has an natural herding instinct, where as the  phenotype would determine the amount or variation of the herding trait that is expressed in each pup with that gene.<br /><br />To complicate things further, while phenotype is locked in at birth, genotype, which is the expression of the gene can be influenced by environment.<br /><br />Example: Three pups have herding instinct in a litter. Depending on exposure to livestock at an early age, how the pup\'s instincts are formed into correct behavior when introduced to livestock and what training if any they receive will impact how that herding gene is expressed in each pup.<br /><br />When selecting a pup it is important to know the expected genotypes in the breeding of a litter you are looking at and how much a those genes (phenotypes) are expressed in each pup. If your pup does not have the genotype traits for the task you want your pup to perform as an adult, you may not be happy with the end results of your training. A high energy pup may never make a wonderful service or therapy dog nor will a low energy pup make for a good herding, sporting dog no matter how much training they receive.<br /><br />Finally, it is important to know the environment you provide for your pup, will have a huge impact on how much of the traits your pup has inherited are expressed in his/her behavior and working ability.  Purchasing a pup because you love how successful his/her sire is as a therapy dog or agility dog, does not mean your pup will automatically behave to same way if you don\'t invest in training your dog.  Lassie wasn\'t simply born talented, it came from extensive training and exposure to a nurturing environment.<br /><br />In my next blog I will discuss what traits are hardwired in a pup and for the most part can not be changed and what traits can be influenced through environment and training. There is no such thing as a bad pup. The key to selecting the right pup in a litter for you is knowing what you are looking for and which puppy has the traits to match your needs. <a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"margin-bottom: 10px; border-width: 0px !important;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/121328354-3410141415687844-6116044075497007871-o.jpg?1602872506\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a> The smartest dog breed is the border collie. A retriever naturally retrieves without training. A beagle will always find its way home. German shepherds are great guard dogs. There are many breed stereotypes, but are they based on fact? <br /><br />Today, due to the the emphasis on appearance with most kennel clubs, many breeders focus more on looks than how a dog thinks or behaves, and there are often more differences within a breed sometimes than between breeds. A dog that doesn\'t retrieve is still a retriever, and a dog that doesn\'t herd sheep is still a herder. All this makes finding breed differences in qualities like intelligence and behavior all the more difficult.<br /><br />Several years ago, a good friend of mine paid top dollar for a beautiful, health tested Golden Retriever to be his new bird dog. Unfortunately his new retriever did not retrieve, did not like water and had very little energy or interest in working. It turns out he came from show lines and natural behavior traits had been bred out of his lines. They still have him but he is a sweet family pet. <br /><br />How does this happen? If breeders do not breed for behavior of the breed type and focus only on health or physical traits, the temperament and natural working ability of the breed will be bred out of the line. This is why so many dogs are no longer true to breed type in personality and behavior.<br /><br />Collies should not be couch potatoes or timid. Collies are a herding breed and should be confident and have enough drive to be able to perform a large multitude of tasks whether it be herding, sporting events, companionship, therapy or service dogs. <br /><br />At SCPS, when breeding dogs are accepted into our registry, emphasis is placed on each collie\'s ability to perform true to breed type. Our breeders must demonstrate their dog\'s abilities when applying to our registry, so you know what to expect from the puppies in a litter. We also encourage our members to enroll their collies in our Versatility Program that rewards dogs for their demonstrated abilities and accomplishments.<br /><br />Purchasing a puppy that fits your lifestyle and meets your expectations is important. When looking to add a new puppy to your family, you can shop with confidence at SCPS as our breeders provide extensive information about their breeding collies on health, size, temperament and working ability.

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-program-rules.html\">Check it out here!</a><hr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\" /><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/119029278-3628245590554130-6653801179259438123-n_1.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a></p><strong><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.americanstockdog.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Stock Dog Registry</a></strong><br />We are excited to announce the Scottish Collie has been approved as an official breed with the American Stock Dog Registry. Effective January 2021, Scottish Collies can be double registered with the American Stock Dog Registry and be added to their breeders pages as well as compete in many of the dogs shows hosted throughout the USA and occasionally Canada &amp; Europe.<br /><br />This is a great opportunity for SCPS breeders to promote their collies and announce upcoming litters to the thousands of followers who are involved with the ASDR.<br /><br />Their shows include training seminars, confirmation, agility, scentwork, herding, rally and obedience. Scottish Collies who participate in these events also will also be eligible for SCPS versatility awards.<br /><br />We are excited to be approved as a recognized breed with their registry and hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities this partnership will provide. Your collie must be registered with SCPS to participate.<br /><br />If you would like to learn more about ASDR in the meantime, please check out their website. <a 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;\" href=\"https://www.americanstockdog.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.americanstockdog.org/</a><br /><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.facebook.com/American-Stock-Dog-Registry-175368817839/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https://www.facebook.com/American-Stock-Dog-Registry-175368817839/</a><hr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\" /><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/spirit-dog-training-logo_orig.png\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a></p><strong style=\"color: #2a2a2a;\"><a 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;\" href=\"https://spiritdogtraining.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spirit Dog Training </a><br /> </strong>SCPS is partnered with Spirit Dog Training to provide discount online classes to our registered members and their collies.

A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-program-rules.html\">Check it out here!</a><hr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\" /><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/119029278-3628245590554130-6653801179259438123-n_1.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a></p><strong><a 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;\" href=\"https://www.americanstockdog.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">American Stock Dog Registry</a></strong><br />We are excited to announce the Scottish Collie has been approved as an official breed with the American Stock Dog Registry.
