IronHorse Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I was curious if anyone knows the approximate time that working Border Collies were first imported to the USA? I have not been able to find much info documenting historically when they were first brought into the USA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I have a picture of my family from about 1860. They are sitting in front of their sod house on their farm in MO. There is a black and white dog named Jack that looks just like a BC sitting with the kids. I don't think there were any BCs as we known them in the USA until much later. I suspect that Jack was more along the lines of an English Shepherd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoresDog Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 It would be very cool if you had time to scan and post that picture! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz P Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I am pretty sure it's in MO in the family album Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
