Border Collie
Like most sheepherding breeds, the Border Collie is descended from the Persian Sheepdog. The breed dates back to the 1700’s, although it was not given its present name until 1915. Collies worked with shepherds in the border area between Scotland and England for hundreds of years, being bred purely for their working ability.
