General info about the Breed
THE ORIGINS

But, where do they come from?
It is said that they first appeared between V and I b.C., and when Celtic tribes settled at the Irish region. Used as herding dog, it became very useful for shepherds that selected the very best samples bearing in mind their work and endurance.
A very hard work that made of the breed the best herding dog on the world. It seems that the name comes from the Gaelic collie, which means "useful". Time elapsed and Celtic tribes moved to border areas between Scotland and England: the breed appeared, also known as "Frontier Collie".

HERDING INSTINCT AND WORKING SKILLS
A good Border Collie will always be ready to work. They have a passion for shepherd, paying attention to sheep from the very beginning and trying to control them. Their hypnotic or strong look, selfconfidence and smooth movements are their best allies, as well as their quickness, agility and bravery.br />
