As all we know, this natural border called Highlands is formed by mountainous territories where the culture is almost impossible, so their inhabitants went specializing in the shepher of ovine cattle, specially. From old, the sheepdogs were selected for a concrete function according to their color, for that reason white and black or white and brown the dogs were the used ones like conductors of the cattle; not therefore the completely white individuals, destined to the wild animal defense in front of, that in addition was bred with the cattle so that this one was not scared of them.

This humble and remote origin has contributed during generations to its little recognition.

The first club of the Collie was born in 1881 and some physical attributes were already contemplated on this race, as well as a system of score in work tests. In 1906 the Society was created the International of Sheep Dog (ISDS) and in 1915 the name of the breed was registered.

Nevertheless, it was necessary to wait for sixty years for the formation of the first club of the Border Collie, whose people in charge fought so that outside recognized officially like race with aims of beauty regulated by the Kennel British Club, circumstance that reached after a year of enough effort on the part of its defenders, in 1976.

At Spain they arrived late, although the first units did it in 1974 of the hand of a prestigious judge destined to the tests of work. In the tracks of agility their agility and knowledge delight to us with doing.
