Description

Collie

Although the name Collie conjures up a small black and white dog to most British people, and a Rough Collie to Americans, it is applied to a range of herding breeds, especially from the upland areas of northern England and Scotland. Most say the word comes from early Scots col, meaning black, referring to either the dog’s color or black-faced sheep: some claim it is an ancient Celtic word meaning ‘useful’.
