sentiment OF the dog lover than does the
rough coated collie. otherwise the colley.
the coaly or shepherd dog. which Ia gen
orally associated with Scotland--so much
so that he Ii more often as not desig-
mated the Scottish or Scotch collie. 1t
should be Mt once pointed out that this
dog. 40 Intelligent, so valuable and OF
such wonderful use and aid to man, takes
his name from the old Angio-Saxon word
Colt" which signifies BLACK" II was
used to look after black faced sheep. with
tho result that in time the collies bore
the same name as their charges, and
II can be no wonder that they were
called cooley dogs"
Thomas Bewick (17b3-ls2s). the Eng
lsh artist and wood engraver. always
STYLED this sheepdog the coaly dog, and
as has been pointed out. that appellation
occasionally remains. Button, the nat
uralist. an oft-quoted authority. puts
down the shepherd dog as the root from
which all other domesticated dogs sprang.
This contention must appeal 10 the
thinker. for assuredly II must have been
the wolf whelp that man first took for
the purposes OF training to drive away
tho larger carnivor@ or birds OF prey
from their focks.
Breeding from these half-tame animals,
In time. gave man what he required.
OF all. the collie Is generally recognized
as being one OF the most Intelligent.
From the shepherd dog. the forerunner
OF the present collie Button contends there
sprang directly the wolfdog, the Iceland
hound. the Lapland dog and the Siberian
or Samoyede dog. There Is certainly
great family likeness In them as will be
recognized at the present day bench
shows. where these breeds are now and
then exhibited.
It is interesting TO motto that the collie
will go back to the old state OF his an
t1nro ~ p,arhans hmndraIQ Of
years before. and then breed true to type
and color 1t will be noticed that do
mesticated dogs. even OF one particular
breed. are all sorts and sizes and differ
amazingly in color and formation.
The wild dog or dingo OF Australia has
a great resemblance to the smooth collie
of to-day Everything points to the fact
that the dingo is the result of dogs
running wild. but whether they strayed
away from early white settlers or arrived
with the natives from the Island OF
Oceanla is not known. 1t is claimed that
All the animals indigenous to the island
continent are marsupial or poucned and
that the dingo is race entirely different
from the rest of the creatures OF tho
country. A dingo would make quite a de-
cent smooth collie. were 1t not that he
pricks his ears.
