The best dog insurances for your Border Collie

The origin of the Border Collie dates back to the native collies of the British Isles, specifically to the border between Scotland and England, a fact to which its name points (Collie de la border in Spanish), it is specifically associated with the Scottish lowland sheepdogs and Cumbria and Northumberland.

The birth of this breed is identified with that of Old Hemp in 1893, a cross between a shepherd dog and a whippet, whose characteristic tricolor coat and herding abilities made it a benchmark . Not long after, in 1915, the International Sheepdog Association of the United Kingdom would recognize the Border Collie , thus distinguishing it from the other varieties of collie.

The word collie, with which this breed is called among others, has a much earlier origin, finding its origin in the Scottish language in which it would be a cognate of coal. It is also speculated with a possible Celtic origin of it, where it would mean "useful", although this origin is considered less probable.

Its affable character and herding ability are the main qualities of a Border Collie , it is a dog that loves to work, so it is important to give it an active life so that it is happy and not fall into a sedentary lifestyle.
