Border Collie Britt History
The Border Collie is a herding dog breed, developed in the Anglo-Scottish border region of Scotland. The dogs are intelligent, energetic, and athletic. A modern, standardized version of the Border Collie, known simply as the Border Collie, was created in the late 1800s, by selectively breeding dogs from northern England and southern Scotland. The Border Collie is highly trainable, and excels at sheepdog trials, agility, and other canine sports. The strong, agile, and energetic characteristics of the Border Collie are matched by its intense work ethic. The Border Collie is a loyal and highly devoted family pet, but it is also well-suited for careers in police work, search-and-rescue operations, and military service.
