There should be many friends who have domestic bordersheepdogs who don't know the origin of border collies. Let me introduce their origins and from where.

The border collie is intelligent by nature and ranks first in canine IQ. This border collie originates from the Collie native to the British Isles and is a very common breed. The name of this breed comes from their likely birthplace, which is the border between Scotland and England. The names Colley or Collie were first mentioned in the early 19th century, however the term Colley can be traced back to earlier Scottish Lowland dialect. All extant purebred Border Collie bloodlines can be traced back to a dog named Old Hemp. Old Hamp was born in September 1893 and died in May 1902. The owner was Adam Telfer. He had three coat colors. He was quiet and strong. The characteristics of the border collie have gradually become the characteristics of this dog breed. In 1915, James Reid, director of the International Sheep Dog Society (ISDS) in England, pioneered the use of the name Border Collie to match the ISDS-registered Curry of other dog breeder societies. Sheepdogs (i.e. Scottish Collie, including Rough Collie) and Short-haired (Smooth Collie) make a distinction; although they originate from the same bloodline , but began mating with other species after being introduced to the show in 1860 and developed a different standard appearance.

During the 5th century BC to the 1st century BC At the time, many Celtic (Celtic) migrated around Europe, three of them came to Ireland, they brought livestock, herding dogs and hunting dogs. These races used a method called Q Gaelic dialect, and Collie means useful, so the dogs that are useful to them are called Collie.

This is how the Irish zoologist WLC Martin described the dog : observant, keen; hairy, long and often furry; well-shaped, strong, good-looking, somewhat wolf-like. It is believed that the Border Collie may have originated from Basque Celtics.

Although English collie dogs were first discovered in Ireland, they were developed as sheepdogs in Scotland, and an obvious answer can be found in the early history of Scotland; Ireland has grassy hillsides, so Irish people are more livestock Cattle and horses were raised; compared to the desolate, harsh climate of Scotland, the Scots had to keep sheep, which were easier to survive. The earliest sheep in Scotland were herded and dogs were found in the Scottish Isles. These dogs were Derived from dogs brought by priests who migrated from Ireland to Scotland, and passed before the early Vikings invaded Scotland.

All the way to the confrontation and conflict between tribes in the mountains and valleys After the struggle, the Scots did not develop their natural resources, and in that environment, especially in The Highlands, people did not invest in agricultural production, and sheep herding was a better occupation for them. In this geographical environment, people only rely on dogs to help drive, gather, and watch livestock. I don’t know where and how the Highland Sheep Border Collie and Lowland Sheepdog came from and what their origins are, but I do know the origin of modern sheepdogs,[ 4] They possess the eye of control ability developed by shepherds on the Scottish-England border, hence the name eye control dogs.
