NCStarkey Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Thanks for posting this, Jeanne. Is there a next page, as well? Regards, nancy PS: I agree with Julie...very odd for a sheepdog puppy to have been "suckled by ewes", but more likely for a guardian puppy.

Stoga Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Penny, Evidence-based documentation of the breed's history and development is paramount to preservation efforts. Keep up the great work; we all appreciate it. When do we get a book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyT Posted July 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks, Stoga. The answer is pretty soon. Although I prefer hard copy myself, Wentworth is widely available on the net. Try the Cornell agricultural text basic library, Hathitrust.org, and Google. Penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanne Joy Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 The point of my inquiry is to find a usage of the two words "border collie" prior to the turn of the previous century. This isn't from the previous century, but interesting nonetheless: "Auld Kep: “A Past-Master,” and “One of the Great Dogs of History” (A Pure-Bred Border Collie) The Property of Mr. James Scott - By Ralph Fleesh, 1909: “Auld Kep-for this is now his familiar name-the winner for the second time of the International Cup, is an average-sized dog of the type of the old Border collie.” - Shepherds of Britain by Adelaide Gosset Side Note: Auld Kep won the International Supreme handled by James Scott in 1908 at Edinburgh and in 1909 at Perth. "Having an extremely strong eye, he at close quarters throws a mesmeric incluence over both sheep and spectators." See attachment: And: "The Sheep-Dog of Ireland by Ralph Fleesh, 1910: “In appearance the Irish sheep-dog strongly resembles the old Scotch Border collie -the “bobtail,”though seen in some parts, is not common;-strong in instinct, and trained to perfection, this most human of all animals is capable of great feats. He will run out a mile, or even a greater distance if necessary, for a lot or “cut” of sheep; bring them cautiously up to his master’s feet; then he will assist at shedding or penning, as the case may be, ............"
