Breed History

Developed in western England in the late 18th century likely from breeds like Bearded Collie and Russian Owtchar. Bred as drovers' dogs to drive cattle and sheep to market. Tails were historically docked to identify them as working dogs exempting them from taxes. Recognized by AKC in 1888
