Scotch collie
Encyclopedia
Scottish Collie or Scotch Collie was a Victorian era term originally given to the various collie
dog types derived from Scotland region. What a scotch collie was so varied. Largely abandoned by the end of the 20th century the name has recently been resurrected by breed historians of the collie dog. Usually used to refer to dogs who had the appearance of collie dogs from both the highland and border regions of what is now known as Scotland.
Some Scotch Collie lines were chosen by national kennel clubs and developed (such as the Canadian or American Kennel Club) into modern breeds such as the Rough Collie
, Border Collie
and Smooth Collie
, Bearded Collie
among others. Previous to the appearance of these clubs, the term scotch collie was a reference used to describe the entire land-race of collie dogs. Modern collie dog breeds as we know them now did not exist when "Scotch Collie" was most often in use. During the Victorian and Edwardian era the name was used to describe nearly all types of collie dog of European ancestry. In some regions it described the dogs having the appearance and bloodlines deriving from the border regions of Scotland, in others, for dogs from the highland regions.
In America the term was mostly used to describe the entire land-race of collie dogs until the AKC chose the name "Scotch Collie" for the dogs they chose to develop. After the turn of the 20th century in America, the AKC Scotch Collie's were developed using dogs having the lineage of collie dogs used mostly in the highland regions of Scotland (see Rough Collie
). Highlander's collies tended to be a bit larger, yet lighter-boned and longer legged than the border collie dogs, requiring the ability to survive on as little as possible, yet still be able to handle the large and unsurly "Coolie" sheep (now extinct)
By 1943 when the movie "Lassie Come Home" was released, the term had evolved into being used almost exclusively to describe the AKC dogs, and modern American dog breed names became most commonly used. Eventually the AKC abandoned the name entirely and split it's dogs into two different names "Rough Collie " and "Smooth Collie" having their coat type being the significant difference.
There are some lines of scotch collie dogs that were included in the development of multitude of modern dog breeds. See Collie
for other types of collie and related dog types. Today the term Scotch Collie has now devolved back into describing a multitude of dog types. While many in the AKC still lay claim to the name for their own dogs, it is now mostly in use by breed historians as well as those seeking to restore or preserve dogs from the ancient lines.
. But the word could also trace to Gaelic or/and Irish
, in which the words for "doggie" are, respectively, càilean and cóilean. It is also possible the word collie is of mutual English and Gaelic derivation.
The Scottish Collie breed consists of both the Rough Collie and the Smooth Collie. A division between long-haired and short-haired variants also existed in the 19th century. However, it is apparent that at one point the Scottish Collie was much smaller than today's dog, like the many other working collie breeds. The ancestor of the Scottish Collie was short, somewhere around 14 inches or so at the shoulders with a broader head, and black or black-and-white. The dogs that came to be the Scottish Collie had been used to herd and guard the flocks and herds of their caretakers.
Although the Scottish Collie and its ancestors had been used for several centuries as a working dog herding sheep and cattle, it was in England in the 19th century that the dog became popular as a pet and show dog rather than a working dog breed. Queen Victoria took an interest in Scottish Collies and the rest of the country soon followed suit. It was also at this time that the dog became larger through cross-breeding with breeds such as Borzoi
s. At this point, Scottish Collie breeders began to standardize the breed and keep written pedigree records. Scottish Collies were shown in dog shows in England as early as 1860 and made its way to the United states by 1880. By about 1886, the Scottish Collie breed was fully standardized and remains roughly the same today. It was in this same year the Collie Club of America was formed, becoming one of the founder breeds of the American Kennel Club.
A surge in popularity occurred in the United States in the 1940s and 1950s with the release of the movie "Lassie Come Home" in 1943 and the subsequent television series that began in 1954 and ran for seventeen years.
is more interested in a dog that performs its job superbly or a dog whose appearance meets an ideal standard.
The Scottish Collie, on the whole, has been treated mainly as a show dog after its sudden rise in popularity and many more are being kept as ring dogs. Farmers and livestock keepers generally use other types of herding dog
, such as the Border Collie
.
Few handlers of working herding dogs participate in conformation show
s, as working dogs are bred to a performance standard rather than one based on appearance. Likewise, conformation-bred dogs are seldom seen on the sheepdog trial field, except in Kennel Club
-sponsored events. Dogs registered with either working- or conformation-based registries are seen in other performance events such as agility
, obedience
, tracking
, rally-o or flyball
, however these dogs do not necessarily conform to the breed standard of appearance as closely as the dogs shown in the breed rings as this is not a requirement in performance events, nor do they necessarily participate in herding activities.
As modern-day "Lassies", both Rough and Smooth Collies have become successful assistance
, and therapy dog
s. At least one guide dog school (Southeastern Guide Dogs in Florida
) currently trains Smooth Collies as guide dogs, and a number of Scottish Collies are currently partnered with disabled individuals around the United States
.
The Scottish Collie is typically a very healthy breed, and is known to inherit few health conditions that are both serious and prevalent. Some health
conditions of note include Collie eye anomaly
, progressive retinal atrophy
, gastric torsion, dermatomyositis
, grey collie syndrome (a type of neutropenia), collie nose (discoid lupus erythematosus), and demodicosis
. Seizures, canine hip dysplasia, microphthalmia
, and cyclic neutropenia
are also occasionally seen. The Collie Health Foundation (http://www.colliehealth.org) maintains a website and database on disorders affecting collies.
Some Scottish Collies (and other collie breeds) have a particular allele
of the multi-drug resistance gene, MDR1. This is also known as "the ivermectin-sensitive collie", however the sensitivity is not limited to ivermectin, a common drug used to treat and prevent various ailments in dogs including heartworm
disease. More than 20 drugs are expected to cause adverse reactions including milbemycin and loperamide. A study by the Veterinary Genetics Laboratory at UC Davis concluded that all dogs with this mutation are descendants of a single dog which most likely lived in Great Britain during the middle of the 19th century.
The mutation of the MDR1 gene is found in Scottish Collies and related breeds worldwide and affects approximately 80% of Scottish Collie dogs in the United States. Dogs with this mutation are predisposed to various sensitivities and some may suffer a potentially fatal neurotoxicosis.
Ivermectin is a popular choice in the prevention of heartworm disease in dogs, an extremely serious and potentially fatal condition. Despite the high prevalence of sensitivity in Scottish Collies to this medication, the low dosage provided is generally considered safe and preventative drugs such as Heartgard are advertised as approved for Scottish Collies, having a wide margin of safety when used as directed. A simple test, recently developed at and provided by Washington State University, can determine if a dog is a carrier of the mutation which causes sensitivity. http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/depts-VCPL/test.aspx
Scottish Collies typically live an average of 12 to 14 years.
Herding instincts and trainability can be measured at noncompetitive herding tests. Scottish Collies exhibiting basic herding instincts can be trained to compete in herding trials.

Origin
The origin and history of the Scottish Collie dog breed is not entirely known, but we do know that it included ancestors originating in Scotland and northern England. Before this time, however, the breed has an ancestry that spans thousands of years as the Scottish Collie's ancestors had been used to herd sheep and cattle for many centuries in both the Highlands of Scotland and throughout early England. The word "collie" is thought to come from the word for "black" or "coal" in Old EnglishOld English language

Scottish Collies typically live an average of 12 to 14 years.
Temperament
Scottish Collies are known to be generally sweet and protective. They are generally easy to train due to a high level of intelligence and a willingness to please. Some are a bit clingy, but this is often seen as an overdeveloped sense of loyalty. They are excellent herding dogs and benefit from the companionship of a family or other dogs. Scottish Collies are very playful and gentle around children. They can also exhibit a strong herding instinct, especially around children.Herding instincts and trainability can be measured at noncompetitive herding tests. Scottish Collies exhibiting basic herding instincts can be trained to compete in herding trials.
