Nearly all Border Collies around today are somehow descended from him! He was known as a perfect example of the herding breed and fathered hundreds of dogs and bitches. Then, in 1893 came the birth of Old Hemp, a herder and trialler like no other! Old Hemp didn’t lose a single trial from the age of one. You had herders, guard dogs, retrievers etc.Ī form of what is now known as a Border Collie seems to have been widely used through time in the borders of Scotland and England. It is only in the last couple of hundred years that dogs were put in named specific breeds. Dogs have been used for herding sheep for hundreds of years.
