BORDER COLLIES IN THANE

The Border Collie is an active, intelligent working dog not suited to the couch potato life! The earliest modern reference regarding a dog working sheep in the manner of the Border Collie is found in Caius' Treatise of Englishe Dogges in 1570. The origin of the name is unclear, possibly originating from the Welsh 'coelius' meaning faithful, but more likely from an old Scottish term for sheep, 'colley'.
