THE BORDER COLLIEOne of the most perfect working Collies in Scotland to-day is the old-fashioned rough coated black and white type, now known as the Border Collie, which is the most popular among the shepherds of Scotland. At the shows this type of dog is invariably at the top of the class. He is considered the most tractable, and is certainly the most agile.
Working trials to test the skill of the sheepdog have become frequent fixtures among shepherds and farmers within recent years, and these competitions have done much towards the improvement of the working qualities of the Collie. In general the excelling competitors at working trials are the rough-coated black and white BorderCollies. The other varieties of collie are less frequent winners.
