Note: "Farm Collie" is a nickname for both the English Collie and the Scotch Collie.
Miscellaneous Notes
  • For a fascinating family tree graphic of these dogs, see Bulletin # 5 of Friends of the Old Farm Collie.
  • Herding spitzes left an unmistakeable stamp on a number of the herding breeds of today. The breeds listed here include a number showing a clear spitz heritage, and links to the herding spitzes; the main spitz page is Spitz Reflections.

Why Not More Pictures?
If people grant me permission to use their photos, I will gladly add photo illustrations to as many breeds as possible.
