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.<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)<hr style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 892px; visibility: hidden;\" /><iframe 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%3Df5ea369389368%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%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\" name=\"f36470e2517962\" width=\"90px\" height=\"1000px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-testid=\"fb:like Facebook Social Plugin\"></iframe>  <h2 style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Unite, sans-serif; font-size: 28px; font-weight: 300; letter-spacing: 0.015em; text-transform: uppercase; margin-bottom: 10px !important; line-height: 1.5 !important; border-width: initial !important; border-style: none !important;\"><a style=\"color: inherit;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/scottish-collie-blog/adopt-dont-shopreally\">ADOPT DON\'T SHOP...REALLY?</a></h2><p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1; letter-spacing: 0.02em; float: left; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6); margin-right: 30px !important; margin-bottom: 0px !important; font-family: Lato !important;\">7/8/2019</p><p style=\"font-size: 16px; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1; letter-spacing: 0.02em; float: left; color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6); margin-bottom: 0px !important; padding-bottom: 4px !important; font-family: Lato !important;\"><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/scottish-collie-blog/adopt-dont-shopreally#comments\">0 Comments</a></p> <table style=\"position: relative; table-layout: fixed; width: 922px; margin-bottom: 0px !important;\"><tbody><tr><td style=\"padding: 0px 15px; width: 277.328px; border-bottom: 0px !important;\"> <a style=\"color: inherit;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/becky-davis-3_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery372688053574151006]\"><img style=\"border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; max-width: none; position: absolute; width: 105.312px; top: 0px; left: -11.0469px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/becky-davis-3.jpg\" /></a><a style=\"color: inherit;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/becky-davis-2_1_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery372688053574151006]\"><img style=\"border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; max-width: none; position: absolute; width: 83.2031px; top: -2.21875px; left: 0px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/becky-davis-2_1.jpg\" /></a><a style=\"color: inherit;\" href=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/becky-davis-1_orig.jpg\" rel=\"lightbox[gallery372688053574151006]\"><img style=\"border-width: 0px; border-style: initial; max-width: none; position: absolute; width: 83.2031px; top: -14.9531px; left: 0px;\" src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/becky-davis-1.jpg\" /></a> </td><td style=\"padding: 0px 15px; width: 130.062px; border-bottom: 0px !important;\"> </td><td style=\"padding: 0px 15px; width: 424.609px; border-bottom: 0px !important;\"><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/becky-davis-2_orig.jpg\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a> <hr style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; width: 424.609px; visibility: hidden;\" /></td></tr></tbody></table> I see posts all over Facebook these days advertising the \'Adopt don\'t Shop\" term.  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.  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.  My concern with these posts about \"Adopt don\'t Shop\" is in reality this is a very dangerous message.  <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.  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.  <br /><br />Health is also an important issue. When rescuing a dog, it is often unknown 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.  It is so important that our beloved animals live a quality of life free from as many health issues as possible.  <br /><br />If you are looking for a faithful loving companion, I often encourage people to consider rescues and shelters as an option.  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. <br /><br />One of our breeders at SCPS is focused on therapy/service dogs.  She needs very specific traits in her lines to accomplish this.  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.   <br /><br />We also have breeders focused on farm work, agility, etc...   All these breeders work hard in selecting lines that provide the traits needed to perform in those roles.  At SCPS our breeders know their lines and can match you with a pup to meet your lifestyle and needs. <br /><br />It is important that we find balance between rescue and breeders.  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. <br /><br />Thank  you for support the Scottish Collie Preservation Society. <br /><br />Courtesy photos: Hycottage Farm Collies<iframe 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>  </td><td style=\"width: 384px;\" valign=\"top\"><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> <h2 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><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  acreage with horses, barn cats and three dogs.  I have been a dog trainer for our local county 4-H chapter and have 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.   My knowledge of SCPS is extensive as a founding member. I hope you will find my blogs educational and worth reading. <br /><br /></p><h2 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;\">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: #626262 !important;\"><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/scottish-collie-blog/archives/01-2020\">January 2020</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/scottish-collie-blog/archives/09-2019\">September 2019</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/scottish-collie-blog/archives/07-2019\">July 2019</a></p><h2 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;\">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: #626262 !important;\"><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/scottish-collie-blog/category/all\">All</a></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: #626262 !important;\"><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/1/feed\"><img style=\"float: left; margin-top: 2px; margin-right: 5px;\" src=\"https://cdn2.editmysite.com/images/old/bg_feed.gif\" />RSS Feed</a></p></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.

What’s that?” This is exactly the question I asked myself in the beginning of 2018. I had not heard of the Scottish Collie myself until I met this stunning dog of a client a year ago. <br /><br />In this episode of SpiritDog Training Stories I speak with Denise Maher, president of the <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/\">Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS).<br /></a><br />When I first saw his picture, I believed him to be a large black and white Border Collie. (Even though he is an 80 lbs. dog – 30lbs heavier than even the heaviest Border Collies – he gets mistaken quite a bit.<br /><br />Meeting him face-to-face though it was clear that he was not that, instead he belongs to a very old breed that has seen a revival in the past few years.<br /><br />The Scottish Collie Preservation Society strives to bring back and expand the breed of the Collie, as it was originally developed as a working breed, used to herd and protect sheep in the often harsh and inhospitable terrain and weather of the Scottish Highlands.<br /><br />Thanks to the efforts of the SCPS, Scottish Collies are now enjoyed by a growing number of dog owners in North America for their temperament, versatility, athleticism and health.<br />Listen to the interview to get to know the breed, its characteristics and the breeding program aimed at bringing back the original Collie:<hr style=\"color: #000000; font-family: \'Helvetica Neue\', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\" />And a little introduction of Denise Maher:<br /><em style=\"position: relative;\">I grew up in Virginia and we always had dogs, mostly Labrador Retrievers.  When my husband and I moved out to the Black Hills of South Dakota, we purchased our first herding dog and my youngest daughter began to train and compete in dog events through 4h and eventually AKC and NADAC Agility. I have worked with horses for years and about three years ago, I decided I we Ted to purchase a dog of my own to work with.  After much research I decided I wanted an old fashioned collie like Lassie, that led me to the Scottish Collies which are the original working collies traced back to the 1800’s before the breed was introduced to the show ring. I purchased my first Scottish Collie over two years ago and fell in love with this breed. </em><br /><br /><em style=\"position: relative;\">My husband and I currently live own twelve acres with horses, barn cats and three dogs:  a Black Lab, a Border Collie, and a Scottish Collie.  My background is in Corporate Development and Training, however I am also a 4-H dog instructor and judge for Agility events in my local county and Director of Marketing &amp; Communication Director for SCPS.  I also compete with my Scottish Collie Titus in agility and we are training in herding, trick training as well as finalizing his verification as a therapy dog.<br /></em><br />You can find out more about the Scottish Collie, including upcoming litters on their <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/\">website </a>and <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/groups/scottishcollieps/\">Facebook page</a> .<br />Enjoying this podcast?

I have worked with horses for years and about three years ago, I decided I we Ted to purchase a dog of my own to work with.  After much research I decided I wanted an old fashioned collie like Lassie, that led me to the Scottish Collies which are the original working collies traced back to the 1800’s before the breed was introduced to the show ring.

It is important to remember, however, that the Scottish rough coated Collie was carefully bred for the job of herding sheep in the rugged and daunting terrain of the Scottish Highlands long before the first Scottish Collie Standards were written. Sheep or cattle were, and still are, the only possible agricultural use for this beautiful, but wild and inhospitable, mountainous land. Even today, in the remotest areas, there are no roads, just tracks which cross through the middle of the Highlands. Much of the land is inaccessible by motorized vehicles.<a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/edited/cloudsoverquiraingbyluisascenso.jpg?1558180644\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; padding: 3px !important; margin-left: -4px !important; margin-right: -4px !important;\"></a>Picture credit: \"Clouds over Quiraing\" by Luis Ascenso. (CC 2.0)<strong><font size=\"5\"><font color=\"#2a2a2a\">A Scottish Highland Scene</font><br></font></strong>The weather is a further challenge. Even in the warmest months, Scotland’s Highlands can rarely ever be considered very warm by any standards. In winter, they can be daunting indeed, with storms and gales blowing in from the North Sea. Scotland is surrounded by seas on three sides:&nbsp;East, West, and North coasts. The storms which do blow in are a constant hazard to people tending sheep in the remote areas. The weather is quite unpredictable and changes very fast. You can be sure, that if it isn’t actually raining, or sleeting, or snowing, during the colder months, before many hours have passed it will be. Weather systems are fast moving, because nowhere in Northern Scotland are you more than sixty or seventy miles from the sea.<br><br>A good collie dog became a necessity to manage the large flocks of sheep grazing on unfenced land, and wandering over wide ranges in search of grazing. Just as a good shepherd knows his sheep, and they in turn know and trust him,&nbsp;so, too, does the working Collie know his own sheep, and they him. Sheep could become lost and buried in snow, especially when lambing in the early spring. A good Collie could track and find these lost sheep separated from the main flock. The Collie’s sense of direction is legendary, and is described in many fictional stories, like&nbsp;Lassie Come Home&nbsp;by Eric Knight. These stories were, in fact, based on many enduring and true accounts of the Collie’s remarkable homing instincts, and ability to find the way home, even through new terrain. The Collie, over many hundreds of years, has carried the bred-in ability to track and find lost sheep, then return them home to farm or shepherd’s croft, often completely independently.<br><br>There are stories recorded of Collies who helped their Masters by driving their sheep south to market in London; then when tired of waiting at the pub doors for the Master to return, just decided to go home on their own. &nbsp;These brave Collies travelled the whole length of England to reach their home farms and the work which they knew was waiting for them. (from History of the Rough Collie - an article by Hazel Hunt)<br><br>Theories abound as to the origin of the Scottish Collie breed. However, it is generally accepted that the Scottish Collie traces back to 4000 BC, to dogs owned by the Celts and used for herding. The Celts controlled and inhabited Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of England from 4000 BC until 43 AD. At this time the Roman conquerors arrived and so began the Roman Occupation of Northern England and the more southerly parts of Scotland. The Romans brought with them their own herding dogs which were then interbred with the Celtic dogs. In 410 AD the Romans left, but their dogs’ genetic influence remained. Next came the Anglo Saxon invaders from northern Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with their European herding dogs which again added to the development of what would eventually be called the Scottish Collie. In 793 AD the Vikings arrived, bringing from Norway their own Herding Spitz dogs. During the long period of Viking influence, the Norwegian Spitz Herding Dog contributed to the genetic mix of other European herding strains and all were added to the local Celtic working dog. This diverse genetic combination added to the local Celtic Collie dogs, eventually produced the Scottish Collie, both Rough and Smooth.<br><br>In the period between 1066, when the Normans conquered Britain, up until approximately 800 years later, there were no further infusions of foreign herding breeds. &nbsp;The herding dogs were, however, definitely improved through selective breeding. The careful selection for breeding of good working dogs resulted in an unequalled herding dog, useful not only to the Scots, but to those in the northern part of England and Ireland as well. This Collie dog from the Highlands became the root breed for all of the other herding breeds which developed in the UK, and later spread around the world.<br>The Collie is essentially the dog it is because for thousands of years it performed sheepdog work in a specific and unique way which is characteristic of these Highland Scottish Collies alone. This very essence of a Collie, and its unique way of working is something that cannot be lost, or bred out, or forgotten, or erased from its gene pool. It had to be so, because of the very particular environment where the Collies’ work was performed – the Scottish Highlands. It should never be forgotten that the Collie was developed in the Highlands, because all the rest comes out of that.&nbsp;<br>During the time before dog shows existed, before the Standard was written on paper,&nbsp;sheep were the most important and most numerous animals in the British Isles. Life centered around the raising of sheep; but working such large flocks of sheep was not possible without dogs. Small wonder so many varied types of British sheepdog breeds developed as these Collies of all types were used for many different purposes throughout Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, serving the varied demands of the quite different environments.<br><br>The Celtic word&nbsp;\"Collie\"&nbsp;means useful. Iris Combe in her book,&nbsp;Rough Collie Records,&nbsp;refers to the Collie as “the useful dog that circled the small settlements to guard the flocks and herds.”<h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: &quot;Crimson Text&quot; !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong style=\"color: rgb(37, 37, 37);\"><font size=\"6\">Collie\'s adaptations were bred in over the centuries.</font></strong></h2><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/download-1.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a></p>The Scottish Highlands, though beautiful, can also be both bleak and lonely. The main threat for shepherds and their flocks was the weather, at a time when no weather forecasts were available by either radio or television. Many remote places in both northern England and Scotland still have no electricity, or reception for radio, television, or cell phone. During spring, and even very occasionally during the summer, the weather in the Highlands can shift extremely fast from a bright sunny day to snowstorms, blizzards, and freezing temperatures due to exposure to the North Sea and cold, strong Arctic winds.<br><br>Flocks grazing in the Highlands are vulnerable to these rapid weather changes, especially during the lambing season. During a storm, a panicked flock can run themselves into real danger in rugged terrain where dangers abound. Collies were there to prevent this happening. Many adaptations were bred into the Collie over the long history of its existence to make it the very best possible dog for this daunting work of herding in the Highlands.<br><br>The Collies’ ears, which are semi-erect and shell shaped, could catch sounds in the most efficient manner. These wonderful tipped ears allowed them to hear; the sound of wind coming from high hills and mountain slopes long before it actually swept the ground, the bleat of a lost sheep or lamb, even in a storm or blizzard, the shouting or whistles of the shepherd giving directions in the storm. Collies are extremely sensitive to sounds, and their hearing is better than most dogs. They don’t like loud noises, loud singing, or fireworks, or thunder. Collies still often feel very uncomfortable with the noise of strong wind blowing, and not without reason. Wind is a danger, and their senses are warned. This sensitivity was bred into Collies for a purpose. Good hearing made it possible to act in time gathering the flock, keeping them together and then bringing them home to safety and shelter.<br><br>The Collie coat, waterproof and warm, was designed to protect against the rain, sleet, snow and blizzard conditions. The outer hair is coarse on the top, but woolly and thick underneath. Collie coat colour, and markings also served a valid purpose being more easily seen by the shepherd and by the sheep in bad weather conditions, or in the dark. &nbsp;The Collie eye was also used to good advantage. Stories abound of collies, who turned away a stubborn ram towards the safer route. So powerful, must be the eye of a Collie, and his sense of presence, and dignity, and air of command. Even the lovely Collie tail, or brush, serves several useful purposes. It is designed to preserve his balance in quick turns, while moving sheep in the desired direction. Even the white spot on the tail tip is there to shine in the darkest night like a lighthouse making the dog visible to both shepherd and sheep. Lastly the tail, when curled round a Collie sleeping in freezing conditions, adds warmth, as it covers legs, feet and nose.<hr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\"><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/editor/18945113-1581539411891435-1719212848-n.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a>Strathyre\'s Titus-Angus owned by Denise Maher</p>&nbsp;Imagine the ground collies had to cover daily while looking after their sheep over rocky and steep countryside. There were, and still are, really no fenced pastures in the Highlands. It was necessary to stay with your flock while they were grazing. Such work requires a very skilled, nimble mover, not too heavy to be able to cover such ground, safely and yet with stamina for great distances and long hours of work.<br><br>The Scottish Collie Preservation Society Standard is an amalgamation of the earliest Scottish Collie Standards. Under General Character it calls for:<br><br>\"A lithe, active dog, his deep chest showing lung power, his neck strength, his sloping shoulders and&nbsp;well bent hocks indicating speed, and his expression high intelligence. He should be of fair length on the leg, giving him more of a racy, than cloddy appearance. In a few words a Collie should show endurance, activity and intelligence with free and true action.\"<br><br>There are serious consequences to ignoring the genuine purpose for which the Collie was created. Although the Collie makes a wonderful companion dog, a loving minder of children, and is beautiful; to forget its long history and important role as a working sheepdog will not assist us in our efforts to restore the good health, intelligence, character, temperament and popularity of this remarkable breed, one of the oldest and noblest of all dog breeds.&nbsp;The Collie still should have the form and characteristics which fit his function as a working sheepdog. For this reason the Scottish Collie Preservation Society was formed, and chose to use the original Standards for the Scottish Collie (1885 to 1910) as the guide to returning the Collie to its more moderate form, with balance and harmony, as the most beautiful of the canine race.<br><br><font color=\"#252525\">references</font><br><a href=\"http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm\" 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\"><font color=\"#24678d\">http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm</font></a>','BREED HISTORY','','publish','closed','closed','','breed-history','','','2022-03-24 16:25:29','2022-03-24 16:25:29','',0,'https://dev.scpscollies.com/?page_id=1600',0,'page','',0),(1601,2,'2022-02-01 18:47:31','2022-02-01 18:47:31','<h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: #000000; font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; text-align: center; font-family: \'Crimson Text\' !important; font-size: 31px !important;\">New Year Goals Aren\'t Just for People</h2><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/120960565-3410138812354771-2946980948080045176-o.jpg?1602872921\" alt=\"Picture\" /></a></p>The start of a new year can also signal a fresh start for dogs needing a change in their routine.  As with most Scottish Collies, Titus loves his routines but can become bored.

It’s a great way to bond, it’ll get you both out of the house, and both owner and dog will reap the rewards of a healthy physical activity. Meet-up groups are a great way to find like-minded dog owners to join you in your exercise, too!<br /><br />2. Dogs love to have their minds challenged. Train a new trick each month!  Sign up for dog classes. Whether your collie loves nose work, agility, herding, obedience or trick training.  There are so many classes to chose from.

It is important to remember, however, that the Scottish rough coated Collie was carefully bred for the job of herding sheep in the rugged and daunting terrain of the Scottish Highlands long before the first Scottish Collie Standards were written. Sheep or cattle were, and still are, the only possible agricultural use for this beautiful, but wild and inhospitable, mountainous land. Even today, in the remotest areas, there are no roads, just tracks which cross through the middle of the Highlands. Much of the land is inaccessible by motorized vehicles.<a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/edited/cloudsoverquiraingbyluisascenso.jpg?1558180644\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; padding: 3px !important; margin-left: -4px !important; margin-right: -4px !important;\"></a>Picture credit: \"Clouds over Quiraing\" by Luis Ascenso. (CC 2.0)<strong><font size=\"5\"><font color=\"#2a2a2a\">A Scottish Highland Scene</font><br></font></strong>The weather is a further challenge. Even in the warmest months, Scotland’s Highlands can rarely ever be considered very warm by any standards. In winter, they can be daunting indeed, with storms and gales blowing in from the North Sea. Scotland is surrounded by seas on three sides:&nbsp;East, West, and North coasts. The storms which do blow in are a constant hazard to people tending sheep in the remote areas. The weather is quite unpredictable and changes very fast. You can be sure, that if it isn’t actually raining, or sleeting, or snowing, during the colder months, before many hours have passed it will be. Weather systems are fast moving, because nowhere in Northern Scotland are you more than sixty or seventy miles from the sea.<br><br>A good collie dog became a necessity to manage the large flocks of sheep grazing on unfenced land, and wandering over wide ranges in search of grazing. Just as a good shepherd knows his sheep, and they in turn know and trust him,&nbsp;so, too, does the working Collie know his own sheep, and they him. Sheep could become lost and buried in snow, especially when lambing in the early spring. A good Collie could track and find these lost sheep separated from the main flock. The Collie’s sense of direction is legendary, and is described in many fictional stories, like&nbsp;Lassie Come Home&nbsp;by Eric Knight. These stories were, in fact, based on many enduring and true accounts of the Collie’s remarkable homing instincts, and ability to find the way home, even through new terrain. The Collie, over many hundreds of years, has carried the bred-in ability to track and find lost sheep, then return them home to farm or shepherd’s croft, often completely independently.<br><br>There are stories recorded of Collies who helped their Masters by driving their sheep south to market in London; then when tired of waiting at the pub doors for the Master to return, just decided to go home on their own. &nbsp;These brave Collies travelled the whole length of England to reach their home farms and the work which they knew was waiting for them. (from History of the Rough Collie - an article by Hazel Hunt)<br><br>Theories abound as to the origin of the Scottish Collie breed. However, it is generally accepted that the Scottish Collie traces back to 4000 BC, to dogs owned by the Celts and used for herding. The Celts controlled and inhabited Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of England from 4000 BC until 43 AD. At this time the Roman conquerors arrived and so began the Roman Occupation of Northern England and the more southerly parts of Scotland. The Romans brought with them their own herding dogs which were then interbred with the Celtic dogs. In 410 AD the Romans left, but their dogs’ genetic influence remained. Next came the Anglo Saxon invaders from northern Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with their European herding dogs which again added to the development of what would eventually be called the Scottish Collie. In 793 AD the Vikings arrived, bringing from Norway their own Herding Spitz dogs. During the long period of Viking influence, the Norwegian Spitz Herding Dog contributed to the genetic mix of other European herding strains and all were added to the local Celtic working dog. This diverse genetic combination added to the local Celtic Collie dogs, eventually produced the Scottish Collie, both Rough and Smooth.<br><br>In the period between 1066, when the Normans conquered Britain, up until approximately 800 years later, there were no further infusions of foreign herding breeds. &nbsp;The herding dogs were, however, definitely improved through selective breeding. The careful selection for breeding of good working dogs resulted in an unequalled herding dog, useful not only to the Scots, but to those in the northern part of England and Ireland as well. This Collie dog from the Highlands became the root breed for all of the other herding breeds which developed in the UK, and later spread around the world.<br>The Collie is essentially the dog it is because for thousands of years it performed sheepdog work in a specific and unique way which is characteristic of these Highland Scottish Collies alone. This very essence of a Collie, and its unique way of working is something that cannot be lost, or bred out, or forgotten, or erased from its gene pool. It had to be so, because of the very particular environment where the Collies’ work was performed – the Scottish Highlands. It should never be forgotten that the Collie was developed in the Highlands, because all the rest comes out of that.&nbsp;<br>During the time before dog shows existed, before the Standard was written on paper,&nbsp;sheep were the most important and most numerous animals in the British Isles. Life centered around the raising of sheep; but working such large flocks of sheep was not possible without dogs. Small wonder so many varied types of British sheepdog breeds developed as these Collies of all types were used for many different purposes throughout Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, serving the varied demands of the quite different environments.<br><br>The Celtic word&nbsp;\"Collie\"&nbsp;means useful.

The main threat for shepherds and their flocks was the weather, at a time when no weather forecasts were available by either radio or television. Many remote places in both northern England and Scotland still have no electricity, or reception for radio, television, or cell phone. During spring, and even very occasionally during the summer, the weather in the Highlands can shift extremely fast from a bright sunny day to snowstorms, blizzards, and freezing temperatures due to exposure to the North Sea and cold, strong Arctic winds.<br><br>Flocks grazing in the Highlands are vulnerable to these rapid weather changes, especially during the lambing season. During a storm, a panicked flock can run themselves into real danger in rugged terrain where dangers abound. Collies were there to prevent this happening. Many adaptations were bred into the Collie over the long history of its existence to make it the very best possible dog for this daunting work of herding in the Highlands.<br><br>The Collies’ ears, which are semi-erect and shell shaped, could catch sounds in the most efficient manner. These wonderful tipped ears allowed them to hear; the sound of wind coming from high hills and mountain slopes long before it actually swept the ground, the bleat of a lost sheep or lamb, even in a storm or blizzard, the shouting or whistles of the shepherd giving directions in the storm. Collies are extremely sensitive to sounds, and their hearing is better than most dogs. They don’t like loud noises, loud singing, or fireworks, or thunder. Collies still often feel very uncomfortable with the noise of strong wind blowing, and not without reason. Wind is a danger, and their senses are warned. This sensitivity was bred into Collies for a purpose. Good hearing made it possible to act in time gathering the flock, keeping them together and then bringing them home to safety and shelter.<br><br>The Collie coat, waterproof and warm, was designed to protect against the rain, sleet, snow and blizzard conditions. The outer hair is coarse on the top, but woolly and thick underneath. Collie coat colour, and markings also served a valid purpose being more easily seen by the shepherd and by the sheep in bad weather conditions, or in the dark. &nbsp;The Collie eye was also used to good advantage. Stories abound of collies, who turned away a stubborn ram towards the safer route. So powerful, must be the eye of a Collie, and his sense of presence, and dignity, and air of command. Even the lovely Collie tail, or brush, serves several useful purposes. It is designed to preserve his balance in quick turns, while moving sheep in the desired direction. Even the white spot on the tail tip is there to shine in the darkest night like a lighthouse making the dog visible to both shepherd and sheep. Lastly the tail, when curled round a Collie sleeping in freezing conditions, adds warmth, as it covers legs, feet and nose.<hr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\"><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/editor/18945113-1581539411891435-1719212848-n.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a>Strathyre\'s Titus-Angus owned by Denise Maher</p>&nbsp;Imagine the ground collies had to cover daily while looking after their sheep over rocky and steep countryside.

Although the Collie makes a wonderful companion dog, a loving minder of children, and is beautiful; to forget its long history and important role as a working sheepdog will not assist us in our efforts to restore the good health, intelligence, character, temperament and popularity of this remarkable breed, one of the oldest and noblest of all dog breeds.&nbsp;The Collie still should have the form and characteristics which fit his function as a working sheepdog. For this reason the Scottish Collie Preservation Society was formed, and chose to use the original Standards for the Scottish Collie (1885 to 1910) as the guide to returning the Collie to its more moderate form, with balance and harmony, as the most beautiful of the canine race.<br><br><font color=\"#252525\">references</font><br><a href=\"http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm\" 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\"><font color=\"#24678d\">http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm</font></a>		\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.

Dogs of merle color frequently have either one or both eyes blue and white or china colored.<br /><br />Ears:  Ears should be small, moderately wide at the base and placed not too close together on the top of the head, nor too much to the side of the head.  The ears are covered with short soft hair longer towards the base and carried semi-erect when alert with tips slightly drooping; at other times they are thrown back and buried in the frill.<br /><br />Neck:  The neck should be muscular, powerful, of fair length, and somewhat arched.\'<br /><br />Body:  Should be rather long, with well sprung ribs, the chest deep and narrow in front, but of fair breadth behind the shoulders, which should be oblique.  The loins should be slightly arched.  The dog should be straight in front.<br /><br />Legs<br />Forelegs:  Should be straight and muscular, and neither in nor out at the elbows with a fair amount of bone, the forearm somewhat fleshy.<br /><br />Hindlegs:  Should be muscular at the thighs, clean and sinewy, below the hocks very sinewy, and hocks well bent, pasterns long, and light in bone, with well bent stifles.<br /><br />Feet:  Should be oval in shape, the soles well padded, and toes well arched and close.  The hind feet are less arched, and the hocks well let down and powerful.<br /><br />Tail:  Should be moderately long, carried low when the dog is quiet, with a slight upward swirl at the end, and may be carried gaily when the dog is excited, but not over the back.  The tail is carried almost straight out when running.<br /><br />Coat:  This is a very important point.  The coat, except on the head and legs, should be abundant, the outer coat harsh to the touch, the inner coat soft and furry, and very close, so close, that it is difficult on parting the hair to see the skin.  The hair is very abundant round the neck and chest; this is termed the frill.  The mask is smooth, as also the ears at the tips, but they should carry more hair towards the base; the forelegs are slightly feathered, the hind-legs below the hocks are smooth.  Hair on tail is very profuse, and on the hips long and bushy.<br /><br />SMOOTH COATED<br />The Smooth Collie only differs from the Rough in its coat, which should be hard, dense, and quite smooth.<br /><br />ALL SCOTTISH COLLIES Color and Markings:  Are immaterial (except that solid white or red setter color are not desirable colors).  A nice showily marked dog is preferred.<br /><br />Size:  Dogs 22 inches to 24 inches at the shoulder, Bitches 20 to 22 inches.<br /><br />Weight:  Dogs 45 lb. to 65 lb., Bitches 40 lb. to 55 lb.<br /><br />EVALUATION Faults:  Domed skull, a disproportionately large head which may be too wide or too heavy with too pronounced or too exaggerated a stop, high peaked occipital bone, heavy, pendulous or prick ears, weak jaws, narrow muzzle, full soft, staring, or light eyes, crooked legs, large flat or hare feet, curly or soft coat, heavily feather legs, cow hocks, short tail or brush carried right over the back, under or overshot mouth, white or solid red color.<br /><br />Faults in movement include a crooked or heavy cloddish gait, with resulting lack of speed or agility.  <br />The Collie should single track when moving at a high speed yet not cross its feet.  The Collie should trot effortlessly with a floating trot.  Pacing instead of trotting with subsequent rolling action is a fault. <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><a style=\"color: inherit;

It is important to remember, however, that the Scottish rough coated Collie was carefully bred for the job of herding sheep in the rugged and daunting terrain of the Scottish Highlands long before the first Scottish Collie Standards were written. Sheep or cattle were, and still are, the only possible agricultural use for this beautiful, but wild and inhospitable, mountainous land. Even today, in the remotest areas, there are no roads, just tracks which cross through the middle of the Highlands. Much of the land is inaccessible by motorized vehicles.<a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/edited/cloudsoverquiraingbyluisascenso.jpg?1558180644\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; padding: 3px !important; margin-left: -4px !important; margin-right: -4px !important;\"></a>Picture credit: \"Clouds over Quiraing\" by Luis Ascenso. (CC 2.0)<strong><font size=\"5\"><font color=\"#2a2a2a\">A Scottish Highland Scene</font><br></font></strong>The weather is a further challenge. Even in the warmest months, Scotland’s Highlands can rarely ever be considered very warm by any standards. In winter, they can be daunting indeed, with storms and gales blowing in from the North Sea. Scotland is surrounded by seas on three sides:&nbsp;East, West, and North coasts. The storms which do blow in are a constant hazard to people tending sheep in the remote areas. The weather is quite unpredictable and changes very fast. You can be sure, that if it isn’t actually raining, or sleeting, or snowing, during the colder months, before many hours have passed it will be. Weather systems are fast moving, because nowhere in Northern Scotland are you more than sixty or seventy miles from the sea.<br><br>A good collie dog became a necessity to manage the large flocks of sheep grazing on unfenced land, and wandering over wide ranges in search of grazing. Just as a good shepherd knows his sheep, and they in turn know and trust him,&nbsp;so, too, does the working Collie know his own sheep, and they him. Sheep could become lost and buried in snow, especially when lambing in the early spring. A good Collie could track and find these lost sheep separated from the main flock. The Collie’s sense of direction is legendary, and is described in many fictional stories, like&nbsp;Lassie Come Home&nbsp;by Eric Knight. These stories were, in fact, based on many enduring and true accounts of the Collie’s remarkable homing instincts, and ability to find the way home, even through new terrain.

Dogs of merle color frequently have either one or both eyes blue and white or china colored.<br /><br />Ears:  Ears should be small, moderately wide at the base and placed not too close together on the top of the head, nor too much to the side of the head.  The ears are covered with short soft hair longer towards the base and carried semi-erect when alert with tips slightly drooping; at other times they are thrown back and buried in the frill.<br /><br />Neck:  The neck should be muscular, powerful, of fair length, and somewhat arched.\'<br /><br />Body:  Should be rather long, with well sprung ribs, the chest deep and narrow in front, but of fair breadth behind the shoulders, which should be oblique.  The loins should be slightly arched.  The dog should be straight in front.<br /><br />Legs<br />Forelegs:  Should be straight and muscular, and neither in nor out at the elbows with a fair amount of bone, the forearm somewhat fleshy.<br /><br />Hindlegs:  Should be muscular at the thighs, clean and sinewy, below the hocks very sinewy, and hocks well bent, pasterns long, and light in bone, with well bent stifles.<br /><br />Feet:  Should be oval in shape, the soles well padded, and toes well arched and close.  The hind feet are less arched, and the hocks well let down and powerful.<br /><br />Tail:  Should be moderately long, carried low when the dog is quiet, with a slight upward swirl at the end, and may be carried gaily when the dog is excited, but not over the back.  The tail is carried almost straight out when running.<br /><br />Coat:  This is a very important point.  The coat, except on the head and legs, should be abundant, the outer coat harsh to the touch, the inner coat soft and furry, and very close, so close, that it is difficult on parting the hair to see the skin.  The hair is very abundant round the neck and chest; this is termed the frill.  The mask is smooth, as also the ears at the tips, but they should carry more hair towards the base; the forelegs are slightly feathered, the hind-legs below the hocks are smooth.  Hair on tail is very profuse, and on the hips long and bushy.<br /><br />SMOOTH COATED<br />The Smooth Collie only differs from the Rough in its coat, which should be hard, dense, and quite smooth.<br /><br />ALL SCOTTISH COLLIES Color and Markings:  Are immaterial (except that solid white or red setter color are not desirable colors).  A nice showily marked dog is preferred.<br /><br />Size:  Dogs 22 inches to 24 inches at the shoulder, Bitches 20 to 22 inches.<br /><br />Weight:  Dogs 45 lb. to 65 lb., Bitches 40 lb. to 55 lb.<br /><br />EVALUATION Faults:  Domed skull, a disproportionately large head which may be too wide or too heavy with too pronounced or too exaggerated a stop, high peaked occipital bone, heavy, pendulous or prick ears, weak jaws, narrow muzzle, full soft, staring, or light eyes, crooked legs, large flat or hare feet, curly or soft coat, heavily feather legs, cow hocks, short tail or brush carried right over the back, under or overshot mouth, white or solid red color.<br /><br />Faults in movement include a crooked or heavy cloddish gait, with resulting lack of speed or agility.  <br />The Collie should single track when moving at a high speed yet not cross its feet.  The Collie should trot effortlessly with a floating trot.  Pacing instead of trotting with subsequent rolling action is a fault. <br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><a style=\"color: inherit;

Even in the warmest months, Scotland’s Highlands can rarely ever be considered very warm by any standards. In winter, they can be daunting indeed, with storms and gales blowing in from the North Sea. Scotland is surrounded by seas on three sides:&nbsp;East, West, and North coasts. The storms which do blow in are a constant hazard to people tending sheep in the remote areas. The weather is quite unpredictable and changes very fast. You can be sure, that if it isn’t actually raining, or sleeting, or snowing, during the colder months, before many hours have passed it will be. Weather systems are fast moving, because nowhere in Northern Scotland are you more than sixty or seventy miles from the sea.<br><br>A good collie dog became a necessity to manage the large flocks of sheep grazing on unfenced land, and wandering over wide ranges in search of grazing. Just as a good shepherd knows his sheep, and they in turn know and trust him,&nbsp;so, too, does the working Collie know his own sheep, and they him. Sheep could become lost and buried in snow, especially when lambing in the early spring. A good Collie could track and find these lost sheep separated from the main flock. The Collie’s sense of direction is legendary, and is described in many fictional stories, like&nbsp;Lassie Come Home&nbsp;by Eric Knight. These stories were, in fact, based on many enduring and true accounts of the Collie’s remarkable homing instincts, and ability to find the way home, even through new terrain. The Collie, over many hundreds of years, has carried the bred-in ability to track and find lost sheep, then return them home to farm or shepherd’s croft, often completely independently.<br><br>There are stories recorded of Collies who helped their Masters by driving their sheep south to market in London; then when tired of waiting at the pub doors for the Master to return, just decided to go home on their own. &nbsp;These brave Collies travelled the whole length of England to reach their home farms and the work which they knew was waiting for them. (from History of the Rough Collie - an article by Hazel Hunt)<br><br>Theories abound as to the origin of the Scottish Collie breed. However, it is generally accepted that the Scottish Collie traces back to 4000 BC, to dogs owned by the Celts and used for herding. The Celts controlled and inhabited Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of England from 4000 BC until 43 AD. At this time the Roman conquerors arrived and so began the Roman Occupation of Northern England and the more southerly parts of Scotland. The Romans brought with them their own herding dogs which were then interbred with the Celtic dogs. In 410 AD the Romans left, but their dogs’ genetic influence remained. Next came the Anglo Saxon invaders from northern Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with their European herding dogs which again added to the development of what would eventually be called the Scottish Collie. In 793 AD the Vikings arrived, bringing from Norway their own Herding Spitz dogs. During the long period of Viking influence, the Norwegian Spitz Herding Dog contributed to the genetic mix of other European herding strains and all were added to the local Celtic working dog. This diverse genetic combination added to the local Celtic Collie dogs, eventually produced the Scottish Collie, both Rough and Smooth.<br><br>In the period between 1066, when the Normans conquered Britain, up until approximately 800 years later, there were no further infusions of foreign herding breeds. &nbsp;The herding dogs were, however, definitely improved through selective breeding. The careful selection for breeding of good working dogs resulted in an unequalled herding dog, useful not only to the Scots, but to those in the northern part of England and Ireland as well. This Collie dog from the Highlands became the root breed for all of the other herding breeds which developed in the UK, and later spread around the world.<br>The Collie is essentially the dog it is because for thousands of years it performed sheepdog work in a specific and unique way which is characteristic of these Highland Scottish Collies alone. This very essence of a Collie, and its unique way of working is something that cannot be lost, or bred out, or forgotten, or erased from its gene pool. It had to be so, because of the very particular environment where the Collies’ work was performed – the Scottish Highlands. It should never be forgotten that the Collie was developed in the Highlands, because all the rest comes out of that.&nbsp;<br>During the time before dog shows existed, before the Standard was written on paper,&nbsp;sheep were the most important and most numerous animals in the British Isles. Life centered around the raising of sheep; but working such large flocks of sheep was not possible without dogs. Small wonder so many varied types of British sheepdog breeds developed as these Collies of all types were used for many different purposes throughout Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, serving the varied demands of the quite different environments.<br><br>The Celtic word&nbsp;\"Collie\"&nbsp;means useful. Iris Combe in her book,&nbsp;Rough Collie Records,&nbsp;refers to the Collie as “the useful dog that circled the small settlements to guard the flocks and herds.”<h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: &quot;Crimson Text&quot; !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong style=\"color: rgb(37, 37, 37);\"><font size=\"6\">Collie\'s adaptations were bred in over the centuries.</font></strong></h2><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/download-1.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a></p>The Scottish Highlands, though beautiful, can also be both bleak and lonely. The main threat for shepherds and their flocks was the weather, at a time when no weather forecasts were available by either radio or television. Many remote places in both northern England and Scotland still have no electricity, or reception for radio, television, or cell phone. During spring, and even very occasionally during the summer, the weather in the Highlands can shift extremely fast from a bright sunny day to snowstorms, blizzards, and freezing temperatures due to exposure to the North Sea and cold, strong Arctic winds.<br><br>Flocks grazing in the Highlands are vulnerable to these rapid weather changes, especially during the lambing season. During a storm, a panicked flock can run themselves into real danger in rugged terrain where dangers abound. Collies were there to prevent this happening. Many adaptations were bred into the Collie over the long history of its existence to make it the very best possible dog for this daunting work of herding in the Highlands.<br><br>The Collies’ ears, which are semi-erect and shell shaped, could catch sounds in the most efficient manner. These wonderful tipped ears allowed them to hear; the sound of wind coming from high hills and mountain slopes long before it actually swept the ground, the bleat of a lost sheep or lamb, even in a storm or blizzard, the shouting or whistles of the shepherd giving directions in the storm. Collies are extremely sensitive to sounds, and their hearing is better than most dogs. They don’t like loud noises, loud singing, or fireworks, or thunder. Collies still often feel very uncomfortable with the noise of strong wind blowing, and not without reason. Wind is a danger, and their senses are warned. This sensitivity was bred into Collies for a purpose. Good hearing made it possible to act in time gathering the flock, keeping them together and then bringing them home to safety and shelter.<br><br>The Collie coat, waterproof and warm, was designed to protect against the rain, sleet, snow and blizzard conditions. The outer hair is coarse on the top, but woolly and thick underneath. Collie coat colour, and markings also served a valid purpose being more easily seen by the shepherd and by the sheep in bad weather conditions, or in the dark. &nbsp;The Collie eye was also used to good advantage. Stories abound of collies, who turned away a stubborn ram towards the safer route. So powerful, must be the eye of a Collie, and his sense of presence, and dignity, and air of command. Even the lovely Collie tail, or brush, serves several useful purposes. It is designed to preserve his balance in quick turns, while moving sheep in the desired direction. Even the white spot on the tail tip is there to shine in the darkest night like a lighthouse making the dog visible to both shepherd and sheep. Lastly the tail, when curled round a Collie sleeping in freezing conditions, adds warmth, as it covers legs, feet and nose.<hr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\"><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/editor/18945113-1581539411891435-1719212848-n.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a>Strathyre\'s Titus-Angus owned by Denise Maher</p>&nbsp;Imagine the ground collies had to cover daily while looking after their sheep over rocky and steep countryside.

(from History of the Rough Collie - an article by Hazel Hunt)<br><br>Theories abound as to the origin of the Scottish Collie breed. However, it is generally accepted that the Scottish Collie traces back to 4000 BC, to dogs owned by the Celts and used for herding. The Celts controlled and inhabited Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of England from 4000 BC until 43 AD. At this time the Roman conquerors arrived and so began the Roman Occupation of Northern England and the more southerly parts of Scotland. The Romans brought with them their own herding dogs which were then interbred with the Celtic dogs. In 410 AD the Romans left, but their dogs’ genetic influence remained. Next came the Anglo Saxon invaders from northern Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with their European herding dogs which again added to the development of what would eventually be called the Scottish Collie. In 793 AD the Vikings arrived, bringing from Norway their own Herding Spitz dogs. During the long period of Viking influence, the Norwegian Spitz Herding Dog contributed to the genetic mix of other European herding strains and all were added to the local Celtic working dog. This diverse genetic combination added to the local Celtic Collie dogs, eventually produced the Scottish Collie, both Rough and Smooth.<br><br>In the period between 1066, when the Normans conquered Britain, up until approximately 800 years later, there were no further infusions of foreign herding breeds. &nbsp;The herding dogs were, however, definitely improved through selective breeding. The careful selection for breeding of good working dogs resulted in an unequalled herding dog, useful not only to the Scots, but to those in the northern part of England and Ireland as well. This Collie dog from the Highlands became the root breed for all of the other herding breeds which developed in the UK, and later spread around the world.<br>The Collie is essentially the dog it is because for thousands of years it performed sheepdog work in a specific and unique way which is characteristic of these Highland Scottish Collies alone. This very essence of a Collie, and its unique way of working is something that cannot be lost, or bred out, or forgotten, or erased from its gene pool. It had to be so, because of the very particular environment where the Collies’ work was performed – the Scottish Highlands. It should never be forgotten that the Collie was developed in the Highlands, because all the rest comes out of that.&nbsp;<br>During the time before dog shows existed, before the Standard was written on paper,&nbsp;sheep were the most important and most numerous animals in the British Isles. Life centered around the raising of sheep; but working such large flocks of sheep was not possible without dogs. Small wonder so many varied types of British sheepdog breeds developed as these Collies of all types were used for many different purposes throughout Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, serving the varied demands of the quite different environments.<br><br>The Celtic word&nbsp;\"Collie\"&nbsp;means useful. Iris Combe in her book,&nbsp;Rough Collie Records,&nbsp;refers to the Collie as “the useful dog that circled the small settlements to guard the flocks and herds.”<h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: &quot;Crimson Text&quot; !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong style=\"color: rgb(37, 37, 37);\"><font size=\"6\">Collie\'s adaptations were bred in over the centuries.</font></strong></h2><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/download-1.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a></p>The Scottish Highlands, though beautiful, can also be both bleak and lonely. The main threat for shepherds and their flocks was the weather, at a time when no weather forecasts were available by either radio or television. Many remote places in both northern England and Scotland still have no electricity, or reception for radio, television, or cell phone. During spring, and even very occasionally during the summer, the weather in the Highlands can shift extremely fast from a bright sunny day to snowstorms, blizzards, and freezing temperatures due to exposure to the North Sea and cold, strong Arctic winds.<br><br>Flocks grazing in the Highlands are vulnerable to these rapid weather changes, especially during the lambing season. During a storm, a panicked flock can run themselves into real danger in rugged terrain where dangers abound. Collies were there to prevent this happening. Many adaptations were bred into the Collie over the long history of its existence to make it the very best possible dog for this daunting work of herding in the Highlands.<br><br>The Collies’ ears, which are semi-erect and shell shaped, could catch sounds in the most efficient manner. These wonderful tipped ears allowed them to hear; the sound of wind coming from high hills and mountain slopes long before it actually swept the ground, the bleat of a lost sheep or lamb, even in a storm or blizzard, the shouting or whistles of the shepherd giving directions in the storm. Collies are extremely sensitive to sounds, and their hearing is better than most dogs. They don’t like loud noises, loud singing, or fireworks, or thunder. Collies still often feel very uncomfortable with the noise of strong wind blowing, and not without reason. Wind is a danger, and their senses are warned. This sensitivity was bred into Collies for a purpose. Good hearing made it possible to act in time gathering the flock, keeping them together and then bringing them home to safety and shelter.<br><br>The Collie coat, waterproof and warm, was designed to protect against the rain, sleet, snow and blizzard conditions. The outer hair is coarse on the top, but woolly and thick underneath. Collie coat colour, and markings also served a valid purpose being more easily seen by the shepherd and by the sheep in bad weather conditions, or in the dark. &nbsp;The Collie eye was also used to good advantage. Stories abound of collies, who turned away a stubborn ram towards the safer route. So powerful, must be the eye of a Collie, and his sense of presence, and dignity, and air of command. Even the lovely Collie tail, or brush, serves several useful purposes. It is designed to preserve his balance in quick turns, while moving sheep in the desired direction. Even the white spot on the tail tip is there to shine in the darkest night like a lighthouse making the dog visible to both shepherd and sheep. Lastly the tail, when curled round a Collie sleeping in freezing conditions, adds warmth, as it covers legs, feet and nose.<hr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\"><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/editor/18945113-1581539411891435-1719212848-n.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a>Strathyre\'s Titus-Angus owned by Denise Maher</p>&nbsp;Imagine the ground collies had to cover daily while looking after their sheep over rocky and steep countryside. There were, and still are, really no fenced pastures in the Highlands. It was necessary to stay with your flock while they were grazing. Such work requires a very skilled, nimble mover, not too heavy to be able to cover such ground, safely and yet with stamina for great distances and long hours of work.<br><br>The Scottish Collie Preservation Society Standard is an amalgamation of the earliest Scottish Collie Standards. Under General Character it calls for:<br><br>\"A lithe, active dog, his deep chest showing lung power, his neck strength, his sloping shoulders and&nbsp;well bent hocks indicating speed, and his expression high intelligence. He should be of fair length on the leg, giving him more of a racy, than cloddy appearance. In a few words a Collie should show endurance, activity and intelligence with free and true action.\"<br><br>There are serious consequences to ignoring the genuine purpose for which the Collie was created. Although the Collie makes a wonderful companion dog, a loving minder of children, and is beautiful; to forget its long history and important role as a working sheepdog will not assist us in our efforts to restore the good health, intelligence, character, temperament and popularity of this remarkable breed, one of the oldest and noblest of all dog breeds.&nbsp;The Collie still should have the form and characteristics which fit his function as a working sheepdog. For this reason the Scottish Collie Preservation Society was formed, and chose to use the original Standards for the Scottish Collie (1885 to 1910) as the guide to returning the Collie to its more moderate form, with balance and harmony, as the most beautiful of the canine race.<br><br><font color=\"#252525\">references</font><br><a href=\"http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm\" 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\"><font color=\"#24678d\">http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm</font></a>		\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 is important to remember, however, that the Scottish rough coated Collie was carefully bred for the job of herding sheep in the rugged and daunting terrain of the Scottish Highlands long before the first Scottish Collie Standards were written. Sheep or cattle were, and still are, the only possible agricultural use for this beautiful, but wild and inhospitable, mountainous land. Even today, in the remotest areas, there are no roads, just tracks which cross through the middle of the Highlands. Much of the land is inaccessible by motorized vehicles.<a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/edited/cloudsoverquiraingbyluisascenso.jpg?1558180644\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; padding: 3px !important; margin-left: -4px !important; margin-right: -4px !important;\"></a>Picture credit: \"Clouds over Quiraing\" by Luis Ascenso.

Even in the warmest months, Scotland’s Highlands can rarely ever be considered very warm by any standards. In winter, they can be daunting indeed, with storms and gales blowing in from the North Sea. Scotland is surrounded by seas on three sides:&nbsp;East, West, and North coasts. The storms which do blow in are a constant hazard to people tending sheep in the remote areas. The weather is quite unpredictable and changes very fast. You can be sure, that if it isn’t actually raining, or sleeting, or snowing, during the colder months, before many hours have passed it will be. Weather systems are fast moving, because nowhere in Northern Scotland are you more than sixty or seventy miles from the sea.<br><br>A good collie dog became a necessity to manage the large flocks of sheep grazing on unfenced land, and wandering over wide ranges in search of grazing. Just as a good shepherd knows his sheep, and they in turn know and trust him,&nbsp;so, too, does the working Collie know his own sheep, and they him. Sheep could become lost and buried in snow, especially when lambing in the early spring. A good Collie could track and find these lost sheep separated from the main flock. The Collie’s sense of direction is legendary, and is described in many fictional stories, like&nbsp;Lassie Come Home&nbsp;by Eric Knight. These stories were, in fact, based on many enduring and true accounts of the Collie’s remarkable homing instincts, and ability to find the way home, even through new terrain. The Collie, over many hundreds of years, has carried the bred-in ability to track and find lost sheep, then return them home to farm or shepherd’s croft, often completely independently.<br><br>There are stories recorded of Collies who helped their Masters by driving their sheep south to market in London; then when tired of waiting at the pub doors for the Master to return, just decided to go home on their own. &nbsp;These brave Collies travelled the whole length of England to reach their home farms and the work which they knew was waiting for them.

However, it is generally accepted that the Scottish Collie traces back to 4000 BC, to dogs owned by the Celts and used for herding.

The main threat for shepherds and their flocks was the weather, at a time when no weather forecasts were available by either radio or television. Many remote places in both northern England and Scotland still have no electricity, or reception for radio, television, or cell phone. During spring, and even very occasionally during the summer, the weather in the Highlands can shift extremely fast from a bright sunny day to snowstorms, blizzards, and freezing temperatures due to exposure to the North Sea and cold, strong Arctic winds.<br><br>Flocks grazing in the Highlands are vulnerable to these rapid weather changes, especially during the lambing season. During a storm, a panicked flock can run themselves into real danger in rugged terrain where dangers abound. Collies were there to prevent this happening. Many adaptations were bred into the Collie over the long history of its existence to make it the very best possible dog for this daunting work of herding in the Highlands.<br><br>The Collies’ ears, which are semi-erect and shell shaped, could catch sounds in the most efficient manner. These wonderful tipped ears allowed them to hear; the sound of wind coming from high hills and mountain slopes long before it actually swept the ground, the bleat of a lost sheep or lamb, even in a storm or blizzard, the shouting or whistles of the shepherd giving directions in the storm. Collies are extremely sensitive to sounds, and their hearing is better than most dogs. They don’t like loud noises, loud singing, or fireworks, or thunder. Collies still often feel very uncomfortable with the noise of strong wind blowing, and not without reason. Wind is a danger, and their senses are warned. This sensitivity was bred into Collies for a purpose. Good hearing made it possible to act in time gathering the flock, keeping them together and then bringing them home to safety and shelter.<br><br>The Collie coat, waterproof and warm, was designed to protect against the rain, sleet, snow and blizzard conditions.

Collie coat colour, and markings also served a valid purpose being more easily seen by the shepherd and by the sheep in bad weather conditions, or in the dark. &nbsp;The Collie eye was also used to good advantage. Stories abound of collies, who turned away a stubborn ram towards the safer route. So powerful, must be the eye of a Collie, and his sense of presence, and dignity, and air of command. Even the lovely Collie tail, or brush, serves several useful purposes. It is designed to preserve his balance in quick turns, while moving sheep in the desired direction. Even the white spot on the tail tip is there to shine in the darkest night like a lighthouse making the dog visible to both shepherd and sheep.

It is important to remember, however, that the Scottish rough coated Collie was carefully bred for the job of herding sheep in the rugged and daunting terrain of the Scottish Highlands long before the first Scottish Collie Standards were written. Sheep or cattle were, and still are, the only possible agricultural use for this beautiful, but wild and inhospitable, mountainous land. Even today, in the remotest areas, there are no roads, just tracks which cross through the middle of the Highlands. Much of the land is inaccessible by motorized vehicles.<a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/edited/cloudsoverquiraingbyluisascenso.jpg?1558180644\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; padding: 3px !important; margin-left: -4px !important; margin-right: -4px !important;\"></a>Picture credit: \"Clouds over Quiraing\" by Luis Ascenso. (CC 2.0)<strong><font size=\"5\"><font color=\"#2a2a2a\">A Scottish Highland Scene</font><br></font></strong>The weather is a further challenge. Even in the warmest months, Scotland’s Highlands can rarely ever be considered very warm by any standards. In winter, they can be daunting indeed, with storms and gales blowing in from the North Sea. Scotland is surrounded by seas on three sides:&nbsp;East, West, and North coasts. The storms which do blow in are a constant hazard to people tending sheep in the remote areas. The weather is quite unpredictable and changes very fast. You can be sure, that if it isn’t actually raining, or sleeting, or snowing, during the colder months, before many hours have passed it will be. Weather systems are fast moving, because nowhere in Northern Scotland are you more than sixty or seventy miles from the sea.<br><br>A good collie dog became a necessity to manage the large flocks of sheep grazing on unfenced land, and wandering over wide ranges in search of grazing. Just as a good shepherd knows his sheep, and they in turn know and trust him,&nbsp;so, too, does the working Collie know his own sheep, and they him. Sheep could become lost and buried in snow, especially when lambing in the early spring. A good Collie could track and find these lost sheep separated from the main flock. The Collie’s sense of direction is legendary, and is described in many fictional stories, like&nbsp;Lassie Come Home&nbsp;by Eric Knight. These stories were, in fact, based on many enduring and true accounts of the Collie’s remarkable homing instincts, and ability to find the way home, even through new terrain. The Collie, over many hundreds of years, has carried the bred-in ability to track and find lost sheep, then return them home to farm or shepherd’s croft, often completely independently.<br><br>There are stories recorded of Collies who helped their Masters by driving their sheep south to market in London; then when tired of waiting at the pub doors for the Master to return, just decided to go home on their own. &nbsp;These brave Collies travelled the whole length of England to reach their home farms and the work which they knew was waiting for them. (from History of the Rough Collie - an article by Hazel Hunt)<br><br>Theories abound as to the origin of the Scottish Collie breed. However, it is generally accepted that the Scottish Collie traces back to 4000 BC, to dogs owned by the Celts and used for herding. The Celts controlled and inhabited Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of England from 4000 BC until 43 AD. At this time the Roman conquerors arrived and so began the Roman Occupation of Northern England and the more southerly parts of Scotland. The Romans brought with them their own herding dogs which were then interbred with the Celtic dogs. In 410 AD the Romans left, but their dogs’ genetic influence remained. Next came the Anglo Saxon invaders from northern Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with their European herding dogs which again added to the development of what would eventually be called the Scottish Collie. In 793 AD the Vikings arrived, bringing from Norway their own Herding Spitz dogs. During the long period of Viking influence, the Norwegian Spitz Herding Dog contributed to the genetic mix of other European herding strains and all were added to the local Celtic working dog. This diverse genetic combination added to the local Celtic Collie dogs, eventually produced the Scottish Collie, both Rough and Smooth.<br><br>In the period between 1066, when the Normans conquered Britain, up until approximately 800 years later, there were no further infusions of foreign herding breeds. &nbsp;The herding dogs were, however, definitely improved through selective breeding. The careful selection for breeding of good working dogs resulted in an unequalled herding dog, useful not only to the Scots, but to those in the northern part of England and Ireland as well. This Collie dog from the Highlands became the root breed for all of the other herding breeds which developed in the UK, and later spread around the world.<br>The Collie is essentially the dog it is because for thousands of years it performed sheepdog work in a specific and unique way which is characteristic of these Highland Scottish Collies alone. This very essence of a Collie, and its unique way of working is something that cannot be lost, or bred out, or forgotten, or erased from its gene pool. It had to be so, because of the very particular environment where the Collies’ work was performed – the Scottish Highlands. It should never be forgotten that the Collie was developed in the Highlands, because all the rest comes out of that.&nbsp;<br>During the time before dog shows existed, before the Standard was written on paper,&nbsp;sheep were the most important and most numerous animals in the British Isles. Life centered around the raising of sheep; but working such large flocks of sheep was not possible without dogs. Small wonder so many varied types of British sheepdog breeds developed as these Collies of all types were used for many different purposes throughout Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, serving the varied demands of the quite different environments.<br><br>The Celtic word&nbsp;\"Collie\"&nbsp;means useful.

It is important to remember, however, that the Scottish rough coated Collie was carefully bred for the job of herding sheep in the rugged and daunting terrain of the Scottish Highlands long before the first Scottish Collie Standards were written. Sheep or cattle were, and still are, the only possible agricultural use for this beautiful, but wild and inhospitable, mountainous land. Even today, in the remotest areas, there are no roads, just tracks which cross through the middle of the Highlands. Much of the land is inaccessible by motorized vehicles.<a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/edited/cloudsoverquiraingbyluisascenso.jpg?1558180644\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; margin-bottom: 10px; width: auto; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) !important; padding: 3px !important; margin-left: -4px !important; margin-right: -4px !important;\"></a>Picture credit: \"Clouds over Quiraing\" by Luis Ascenso. (CC 2.0)<strong><font size=\"5\"><font color=\"#2a2a2a\">A Scottish Highland Scene</font><br></font></strong>The weather is a further challenge. Even in the warmest months, Scotland’s Highlands can rarely ever be considered very warm by any standards. In winter, they can be daunting indeed, with storms and gales blowing in from the North Sea. Scotland is surrounded by seas on three sides:&nbsp;East, West, and North coasts. The storms which do blow in are a constant hazard to people tending sheep in the remote areas. The weather is quite unpredictable and changes very fast. You can be sure, that if it isn’t actually raining, or sleeting, or snowing, during the colder months, before many hours have passed it will be. Weather systems are fast moving, because nowhere in Northern Scotland are you more than sixty or seventy miles from the sea.<br><br>A good collie dog became a necessity to manage the large flocks of sheep grazing on unfenced land, and wandering over wide ranges in search of grazing. Just as a good shepherd knows his sheep, and they in turn know and trust him,&nbsp;so, too, does the working Collie know his own sheep, and they him. Sheep could become lost and buried in snow, especially when lambing in the early spring. A good Collie could track and find these lost sheep separated from the main flock. The Collie’s sense of direction is legendary, and is described in many fictional stories, like&nbsp;Lassie Come Home&nbsp;by Eric Knight. These stories were, in fact, based on many enduring and true accounts of the Collie’s remarkable homing instincts, and ability to find the way home, even through new terrain. The Collie, over many hundreds of years, has carried the bred-in ability to track and find lost sheep, then return them home to farm or shepherd’s croft, often completely independently.<br><br>There are stories recorded of Collies who helped their Masters by driving their sheep south to market in London; then when tired of waiting at the pub doors for the Master to return, just decided to go home on their own. &nbsp;These brave Collies travelled the whole length of England to reach their home farms and the work which they knew was waiting for them. (from History of the Rough Collie - an article by Hazel Hunt)<br><br>Theories abound as to the origin of the Scottish Collie breed. However, it is generally accepted that the Scottish Collie traces back to 4000 BC, to dogs owned by the Celts and used for herding. The Celts controlled and inhabited Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of England from 4000 BC until 43 AD. At this time the Roman conquerors arrived and so began the Roman Occupation of Northern England and the more southerly parts of Scotland. The Romans brought with them their own herding dogs which were then interbred with the Celtic dogs. In 410 AD the Romans left, but their dogs’ genetic influence remained. Next came the Anglo Saxon invaders from northern Germany, Denmark, and the Netherlands, with their European herding dogs which again added to the development of what would eventually be called the Scottish Collie. In 793 AD the Vikings arrived, bringing from Norway their own Herding Spitz dogs. During the long period of Viking influence, the Norwegian Spitz Herding Dog contributed to the genetic mix of other European herding strains and all were added to the local Celtic working dog. This diverse genetic combination added to the local Celtic Collie dogs, eventually produced the Scottish Collie, both Rough and Smooth.<br><br>In the period between 1066, when the Normans conquered Britain, up until approximately 800 years later, there were no further infusions of foreign herding breeds. &nbsp;The herding dogs were, however, definitely improved through selective breeding. The careful selection for breeding of good working dogs resulted in an unequalled herding dog, useful not only to the Scots, but to those in the northern part of England and Ireland as well. This Collie dog from the Highlands became the root breed for all of the other herding breeds which developed in the UK, and later spread around the world.<br>The Collie is essentially the dog it is because for thousands of years it performed sheepdog work in a specific and unique way which is characteristic of these Highland Scottish Collies alone. This very essence of a Collie, and its unique way of working is something that cannot be lost, or bred out, or forgotten, or erased from its gene pool. It had to be so, because of the very particular environment where the Collies’ work was performed – the Scottish Highlands. It should never be forgotten that the Collie was developed in the Highlands, because all the rest comes out of that.&nbsp;<br>During the time before dog shows existed, before the Standard was written on paper,&nbsp;sheep were the most important and most numerous animals in the British Isles. Life centered around the raising of sheep; but working such large flocks of sheep was not possible without dogs. Small wonder so many varied types of British sheepdog breeds developed as these Collies of all types were used for many different purposes throughout Scotland, England, Wales, and Ireland, serving the varied demands of the quite different environments.<br><br>The Celtic word&nbsp;\"Collie\"&nbsp;means useful. Iris Combe in her book,&nbsp;Rough Collie Records,&nbsp;refers to the Collie as “the useful dog that circled the small settlements to guard the flocks and herds.”<h2 style=\"margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: 300; line-height: 1.1em; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-family: &quot;Crimson Text&quot; !important; font-size: 31px !important;\"><strong style=\"color: rgb(37, 37, 37);\"><font size=\"6\">Collie\'s adaptations were bred in over the centuries.</font></strong></h2><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/download-1.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a></p>The Scottish Highlands, though beautiful, can also be both bleak and lonely. The main threat for shepherds and their flocks was the weather, at a time when no weather forecasts were available by either radio or television. Many remote places in both northern England and Scotland still have no electricity, or reception for radio, television, or cell phone. During spring, and even very occasionally during the summer, the weather in the Highlands can shift extremely fast from a bright sunny day to snowstorms, blizzards, and freezing temperatures due to exposure to the North Sea and cold, strong Arctic winds.<br><br>Flocks grazing in the Highlands are vulnerable to these rapid weather changes, especially during the lambing season. During a storm, a panicked flock can run themselves into real danger in rugged terrain where dangers abound. Collies were there to prevent this happening. Many adaptations were bred into the Collie over the long history of its existence to make it the very best possible dog for this daunting work of herding in the Highlands.<br><br>The Collies’ ears, which are semi-erect and shell shaped, could catch sounds in the most efficient manner. These wonderful tipped ears allowed them to hear; the sound of wind coming from high hills and mountain slopes long before it actually swept the ground, the bleat of a lost sheep or lamb, even in a storm or blizzard, the shouting or whistles of the shepherd giving directions in the storm. Collies are extremely sensitive to sounds, and their hearing is better than most dogs. They don’t like loud noises, loud singing, or fireworks, or thunder. Collies still often feel very uncomfortable with the noise of strong wind blowing, and not without reason. Wind is a danger, and their senses are warned. This sensitivity was bred into Collies for a purpose. Good hearing made it possible to act in time gathering the flock, keeping them together and then bringing them home to safety and shelter.<br><br>The Collie coat, waterproof and warm, was designed to protect against the rain, sleet, snow and blizzard conditions. The outer hair is coarse on the top, but woolly and thick underneath. Collie coat colour, and markings also served a valid purpose being more easily seen by the shepherd and by the sheep in bad weather conditions, or in the dark. &nbsp;The Collie eye was also used to good advantage. Stories abound of collies, who turned away a stubborn ram towards the safer route. So powerful, must be the eye of a Collie, and his sense of presence, and dignity, and air of command. Even the lovely Collie tail, or brush, serves several useful purposes. It is designed to preserve his balance in quick turns, while moving sheep in the desired direction. Even the white spot on the tail tip is there to shine in the darkest night like a lighthouse making the dog visible to both shepherd and sheep. Lastly the tail, when curled round a Collie sleeping in freezing conditions, adds warmth, as it covers legs, feet and nose.<hr style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: rgb(255, 242, 204); width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;\"><p><a style=\"color: inherit;\"><img src=\"https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/editor/18945113-1581539411891435-1719212848-n.jpg?250\" alt=\"Picture\" style=\"border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); position: relative; margin-top: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;\"></a>Strathyre\'s Titus-Angus owned by Denise Maher</p>&nbsp;Imagine the ground collies had to cover daily while looking after their sheep over rocky and steep countryside. There were, and still are, really no fenced pastures in the Highlands. It was necessary to stay with your flock while they were grazing. Such work requires a very skilled, nimble mover, not too heavy to be able to cover such ground, safely and yet with stamina for great distances and long hours of work.<br><br>The Scottish Collie Preservation Society Standard is an amalgamation of the earliest Scottish Collie Standards. Under General Character it calls for:<br><br>\"A lithe, active dog, his deep chest showing lung power, his neck strength, his sloping shoulders and&nbsp;well bent hocks indicating speed, and his expression high intelligence. He should be of fair length on the leg, giving him more of a racy, than cloddy appearance. In a few words a Collie should show endurance, activity and intelligence with free and true action.\"<br><br>There are serious consequences to ignoring the genuine purpose for which the Collie was created. Although the Collie makes a wonderful companion dog, a loving minder of children, and is beautiful; to forget its long history and important role as a working sheepdog will not assist us in our efforts to restore the good health, intelligence, character, temperament and popularity of this remarkable breed, one of the oldest and noblest of all dog breeds.&nbsp;The Collie still should have the form and characteristics which fit his function as a working sheepdog. For this reason the Scottish Collie Preservation Society was formed, and chose to use the original Standards for the Scottish Collie (1885 to 1910) as the guide to returning the Collie to its more moderate form, with balance and harmony, as the most beautiful of the canine race.<br><br><font color=\"#252525\">references</font><br><a href=\"http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm\" 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\"><font color=\"#24678d\">http://www.roughian.hr/stranice/Breed.htm</font></a>		\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.
