History

The Border Collie breed has its origins in the 1700s. For many years, these dogs assisted shepherds in the region between Scotland and England, which is why they have such a fitting name. Their daily tasks involved guiding sheep over rough terrains, making them respected working dogs known for their cleverness, endurance, and a remarkable ability to mesmerize sheep with their gaze. Over time, they gained the admiration of the upper class, with Queen Victoria being a well-known fan of the breed. In the early 1900s, British shepherds and farmers brought them to the United States, seeking top-notch herding dogs. Their popularity soared due to their intelligence, agility, and exceptional herding talents.
