Bred to work the flock with intelligence and tireless energy, the Collie is the classic sheepdog of Scotland and the north. The Collie gathers the scattered early literature of the breed – its history, description, character and management – into a single readable volume.

These collected accounts range across the Collie's history and origins, its description and character, and the practical business of rearing, breeding and showing it, assembled from the works of the fanciers and authorities who knew the breed best.

A rewarding companion for Collie enthusiasts and breed historians alike, this modern edition keeps a wealth of early material in print and within easy reach.

This edition features:

• Brings the breed's foundational writers together in one collection.
• Covers the breed's history, origins, description and character.
