"I think that, taking all things into account… I am not far wrong in dubbing as I do the Highland collie. King of the Canine Race." Gordon Stables, 1878

    New Online Registry for Scotch Collies

    I have finally launched the long planned online registry for Scotch Collies, my hope is that it will be a valuable resource for those of us who breed these dogs, many of whom are not eligible for other registries. You can see it at www.scotchcollie.org Right now it is merely an online record of farm collie [...]

    The Collie Family Tree is Incorrect

    I see the “collie family tree”, which was developed some years ago by Linda Rorem, referenced quite frequently on collie related websites [VIEW THE COLLIE FAMILY TREE HERE]. It is very useful in illustrating the relationships between various british sheepdogs but I have to say it has one glaring flaw which blatantly oversimplifies the situation [...]

    Old Fashioned Scotch Collie Breed Standard Working Draft

    The Internet, Ole Shep’s Best Friend

Had it not been for the advent of the internet in the 90s they would most likely have been completely obliterated by now. The internet has an amazing power to bring together people of similar interests [...]

    Old Scotch Collie by Erika DuBois

    Our first “collie” pup, the runt of her litter, came to us the summer of 1960. We had just moved onto what was then a typical Cape Breton farm: a herd of eight milk-cows, a team of horses (Brownie and Queenie); a flock of hens, some cats, and a hired man of about 60 years [...]

    Queen Victoria’s Collies

    Much has been written about Queen Victoria’s Collies, one can hardly read a history of the breed without some mention of how she made them popular or how she bred Borzoi into them. In my research I have so far found no information to indicate that she made any significant contribution to the popularity of [...]
