“Scotch Collie”?
Per the website of the Old-Time Scotch Collie Association, “In 1900 the Scotch Collie was the dog to have. They were sought after by farmers for their herding ability, and they were sought after by city dwellers because they were intelligent and loyal pets. In fact, the qualities that made the Scotch Collie a great farm dog were largely the exact same properties that made it a great family dog, their intelligence and desire to please. Later in the 20th century, fancy show dogs and the decline of the small family farm made the Scotch Collie obsolete, a few people began searching for and reviving these dogs in the 1980s and 1990s. Today we have a small population of these fantastic dogs left. Join us as we work to preserve and increase the Old-Time Scotch Collie.”
Good boy, Pal!
