Border Springer History
The border collie, or sheepdog, is a breed of herding dog, developed in the border regions of Scotland and England. It is characterized by its intelligence, trainability and working ability, as well as its ability to adapt to living and working conditions, such as farm life. The origin of the modern border collie is unclear. It has been proposed that the Border Collie originates with the Scotch Sheepdog, a breed of collie that originated in Scotland. It is equally likely that the Border Collie descends from the Old English Sheepdog, which originated in the UK. The origins of the English word “collie” are uncertain, but many sources speculate that it comes from the Gaelic col, meaning “friend”, “bud”, or “companion”.
