WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE FARM DOG, OLD TIME SCOTCH COLLIE AND THE SCOTTISH COLLIE?

Quick explanation....

There are several preservation movements to preserve the working farm type herding shepherds/collies.

PLEASE NOTE: While Embark has listed a breed result of Scottish Collie type in their database, it is not affiliated with the Scottish Collie breed standards, but they have adopted the OTSC Scotch Collie breed standards when using genetic markers to identify a breed type. This can be very confusing for dog owners. SCPS does NOT recognize this breed idenfication with Embark, since it does not measure the percentage of Collie in their results. A dog can be 100% Scottish Collie in type by Embark standards, and only have 30% or less collie in their dna genetic markers. SCPS requires a dog be a minimum of 75% collie to be registered as an appendix collie in our registry. That dog must then be bred to a registered purebred Scottish Collie (if certified for breeding) to breed towards the SCPS standards and goals.

So let's take a look at the difference in breed types based on information gained on websites and registries.

The FARM DOG can be any breed of herding dog or a combination of breeds. Farm dogs are assessed primarily on their ability to work the farm, herd and protect the livestock. Performance defines their role as a farm dog.

The OLD TIME SCOTCH COLLIE, OTSC (has it's written focus as follows... "Instead of mandating narrow conformation ranges as demanded by the American Kennel Club for their breeds, the Old-Time Scotch Collie Association has written a breed standard that allows for the range of appearances found in a landrace breed. We recognize that the Old-Time Scotch Collie has always had a diversity of types and we want to maintain that genetic diversity by not trying to shove everybody into the same box."

As a landrace breed the Scotch Collie (also referred to as (OTSC & the Old Time Farm Shepherd) has a written breed description to allow for a wide range of variations into their breed to include a blend of Collies, English Shepherds, Australian Shepherds as well as registering purebred breeds such as English Shepherds and Australian Shepherds. The purebred rough collie is considered an outcross breed in OTSC. The Old Time Scotch Collies have a variety in temperament, structure and size due to the blend of cross breeding in their registry but all dogs should have good working ability.

The Scottish Collie is a little more defined. The SCOTTISH COLLIE PRESERVATION SOCIETY (SCPS) is focused on preserving the Classic Farm Collie, (Lassie Type Collie) as set by the standards from the late 1800's - early 1900's and were known for their intelligence and natural herding instincts. Through locating existing collies who still exhibit the traits of the classic farm collie and breeding back to the standards as established in the late 1800's early 1900's, they are restoring the breed as it once was. The SCPS is an International movement with an open registry accepting collies worldwide who fit the breed standard. Scottish Collie Preservation Society focuses on health (genetic testing of all breeding collies), structure, original 1800 breed standards and working ability/temperament. Scottish Collies are not a landrace breed but the classic collie that was bred back in the 1800's-early 1900's who originated from the Scottish Highlands.

Of course it is possible that some of the Farm Collies, Old Time Scotch Collies, and Scottish Collies will meet the requirements of each registry and may be double registered.

Each registry has similar mission just different goals.
