Merle colours (blue as well as the rare red), chocolate white, sable white, red white, blue white and in all colours the mottled effect (a freckled pattern) can also be found. You regularly see this colour with tan marks on head and legs. The black and white Border, with a white blaze, broad white collar, white front legs, white socks behind and a white end of the tail is the most common. The colours of a Border vary also very much. All kinds of coats between smooth-coat and quite long exist. The diversity in exterior between Border Collies is rather large. His ability to herd cattle, the way he herds and his will to work actually determine that he is a Border Collie. The real Border Collie - in my opinion however - is not determined by his looks, but by what's inside his head. It's a fast, manoeuvrable, energetic, fast reacting and handy dog that is capable of working all day long wíth the sheep and fór his shepherd in all weathers and on any terrain.ĭuring the years some similarity in appearance has developed. About a century ago, in the hilly landscape on the border between Scotland and England, a type of dog was developed that is known today as the Border Collie. In the country of origin of the Border Collie, Great Britain, large flocks of sheep are kept all over the country. For centuries dogs were used to help the shepherd herd his cattle.
