The History of the Border Collie (inbunden, eng)

Although this is a general history of this multi-dimensional breed the name Border Collie never came into being till 1915. Yet always there was a supernatural Collie servant to farmers shepherds and the people of the land. This dog’s fate was spliced with our own in the battle to survive.

Now from our modern perspective, we can see why the Border Collie can diversify into carrying out tasks other than gathering sheep. The beginning of the Border Collie came about on the Borders of England and Scotland when its canine ancestors arrived with the invading Roman legions out of the mists of antiquity.

Our Search is deeper into why many say that Border Collies have the supernatural ability to know what their handlers are going to do next. Their sense to predict the movements of sheep or livestock is not limited by their working day. Many owners have commented that their Border Collies know extra things like if someone is not coming home or if there is something wrong.

Yet these abilities may well be rooted in its hyper development through selective breeding when standard herding breeds in Britain were forged together to create this super dog. Much of the British economy during the 19th and 20th Century could not have happened without this stalwart servant of the people.

The Border Collie has an inner super dog inside its black and white and multi-coloured coat driven not by aggression but by the unconditional love for its human family.
