About the Border Collie

The Border Collie was developed in the border region between Scotland and England, where shepherds needed a dog that could manage large flocks across challenging terrain. The breed’s foundation sire is generally considered to be Old Hemp, born in 1893, who demonstrated the intense, controlled herding style — using “the eye” (a fixed stare) rather than barking or biting — that defines the modern Border Collie. Border Collies belong to the AKC Herding Group, recognized in 1995.
