7 years!

From newborn to fully trained can take maybe 6-8 years, and by "fully trained" I don't mean higher levels of competition, so probably I mean "mostly trained to a more than basic level."

So, say that we just grab 7 years as that time when we have brought along the horse to a well developed stage.

Seven years, in days, is 7 times 365, which equals 2,555 days of development and training from birth to age seven.

2,555 is a lot of days, and we can then think----"How much of what this horse now knows and is trained to do was accomplished on any one of those 2,555 days?"

Well, I guess one answer might be 1/2,555th of what he knows.

The point being that on no given day is a horse going to make great leaps forward in its education. The truth is that the horse got to where he is today by hundreds and hundreds of tiny increments, stacked like playing cards, one upon another.

But I can DESTROY a horse forever in ONE DAY.

Literally. I have known of horses killed by having them flip over on tight side reins, horses run to death, horses spun in circles until their hocks broke down, horses flipped in rotational falls----

And I am not talking about true accidents here. What I am referring to is what can happen when a trainer loses his temper, or when a competitor gets too hungry, or when a rider gets too caught up in emotion to think about what the horse is feeling.

And even if a temper tantrum in a training session, or pushing too hard in some competition does not cause permanent damage, it can set training back by days, weeks, or even months.

So think this through---"On no given day can my horse make big progress, but on any given day, my horse can see big deterioration."

And then, if you feel yourself slipping into the red zone, stop right away. Don't go there. Just don't. It is not going to get any better, not today it isn't, but it can get a whole lot worse.

Hard to have emotional control sometimes? You bet. But having that regret afterwards is lots harder.

Old-Time Scotch Collie Association - Scottish Collie Preservation Society - WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? Old-Time Scotch Collie Association (OTSCA) is the only registry dedicated to the authentic old farm dog we remembered. The association started as a one man endeavor as he was very dedicated to rescuing the almost extinct old genetics that had been lost with the move by the Rough Collie breeders looking for long hair show dog winners. The old farm type collie originated from the Scottish Highlands with instincts to be a true farm companion and helper was replaced by show dogs selected for looks only.

Sometime around 2016 a small splinter group of disgruntled breeders with the previous owner of Old-Time Scotch Collie formed their own association Scottish Collie Preservation Society (SCPS) . Their vision was very different from the original vision and type of dogs. The group was not allowed to register an imported modern collie and other personality conflicts, so they moved out and formed their own registry. Strong personalities of the splinter group was required to make such a drastic move, but this has led to those same strong personalities and conflicts within their own ranks with various officer changes, registration procedure problems, etc. I am not a member of SCPS, but I do commend their efforts to stand for what they believe and desire to preserve it. However, their goals and OTSCA are not alike in the type of dog standards.

2019, a group of over 50 breeders from across America were asked to invest substantial money to buy the Old-Time Scotch Collie Association from Andy Ward who started it. We formed a 501c3 non profit organization with a board of directors on various terms, and even the officers are on a staggered term so nobody becomes overly influential. I'm proud to say I put my money where my heart was and was one of those initial investors. Twelve years ago when I got my first Old-Time Scotch Collie Kaynine I never intended to become a breeder. But seeing her natural working ability, laid back wonderful personality, ease of coat care and phenomenal health, not only did I became a breeder, but also an investor. As the association was being formed I decided to help lead this group as President. (Yes, I am that kind of crazy). We have a wonderful board that works well together and is getting things accomplished.

The association has cleaned up the website, has changed some policy and procedures and is seeing a great growth. New memberships and new registry is up plus even a new appendix registry to allow new genetics to enter this landrace breed when they do not meet all initial reviews. Membership rates are very low cost, and the cost to register a dog after review by a committee to insure type is also very reasonable. So I ask you to join the Old-Time Scotch Collie Association to preserve the authentic old farm collie we all remember from the past. When you buy any pup from me - it will be puppy registered with OTSCA and eligible for full registry after review at a year of age. This is our standard procedure to insure we are preserving the old farm collie we all love.
I encourage everyone to get their adult dog fully registered.

In 1900 the Scotch Collie was the dog to have, they were sought after by farmers for their herding ability and they were sought after by city dwellers because they were intelligent and loyal pets, in fact the qualities that made the Scotch Collie a great farm dog were largely the exact same properti...
