Comments on: Scotch Collie Pictures http://www.oldtimefarmshepherd.org "Of all the canine race, the Scotch Colley is the most intelligent. The herder's help-mate and friend, and gentleman's pet."

There was the English Collie (shorter nose, different coat) and the Scotch Collie (with the long nose and long coat). The English version were usually working farm dogs, whereas the Scots were considered the 'snobs'. I no longer hear reference to English Collies.

All the various names for this breed have added to the confusion over the years and ultimately contributed to their near extinction. Shepherd's collie, old-time collie and scotch collie would all refer to the same dogs, English Shepherds are sometimes of Scotch Collie extraction and sometimes not. It's all quite confusing. Glad you are enjoying the site. Shep Thanks Jo. All the various names for this breed have added to the confusion over the years and ultimately contributed to their near extinction.

I haven't seen dogs like these since I was a child (long time ago). The first my father brought home as a pup on the day I was born, and he called it a shepherd's collie. After viewing your site I am pretty convinced she was a scotch collie. The second was brought to me by his breeder and identified to me as an English shepherd. That was over 40 years ago and I have never heard that name since, until I saw it mentioned here. Several years ago I asked my father if he could tell me anything about the dogs but all he could tell me was that they were "old time collies". I have enjoyed these photos and your site immensely.
