Breedia Dog Forum
Thanks DoKhyi. I think he is a stunning dog, and can't wait to see what he is like when fully mature - as he is still only 11 months old. I...
What I still don't understand is why in the "modern" show shepherd they stack them in such a way as they look roach backed and yet they never used to...
I *met" him through the HP forum I used to be on and he did mention his GSD on that, but weirdly never mentioned the setters and pointers (that I saw...
Love Teal :049: I have only really known Helen's - who were and are fab GWPs. I really fell in love with Teal. The others I have come into contact...
Gosh - I only know him through the Highland Ponies and never realised he had pointers and setters :blush: but did know he had a working GSD :grin:
It definitely does ... so far at least! It looks absolutely nothing like its modern day equivalent!
I am loving this thread too - really, really interesting.
Some working GSDs through the years ... 1908 [IMG] 1914 [IMG] 1926 [IMG] 1937 [IMG] 1968 [IMG] 1981 [IMG] 1995 [IMG] 1995 [IMG] 2011...
As Pam said on the other thread about GSDs, the first dog was really a mix of various herding dogs at the time, so wasn't actually a blueprint GSD....
The setters and pointers don't look to have changed much at all - esp when compared to the working types today. I LOVE that photo of Dotty - just...
Thank you :grin: I love Zak's type and look too. In fact, I can see me having dark sable workline types from now on :mrgreen:
Some lovely collies so far. Here are our current gang ... Bill [IMG] Craig [IMG] Fly and Tip [IMG] Nap [IMG] Jake [IMG] Tweed [IMG] and...
I think, as others have said, in general, yes a dog and bitch combination works the best. I volunteer for GSD Rescue and if the prospective home...
I really have researched and researched and never found a type that I loved enough to own tbh :-( The second dog in your set of collie pics would...
Or what about another GSD ;-)
I have always had BCs with my GSDs and they match energy and activity levels perfectly :-)
The GSD :017: 1902 [IMG] 1910 [IMG] 1933 [IMG] 1956 [IMG] 1972 [IMG] 1997 [IMG] 2011 [IMG]
Fantastic - they have hardly changed at all - although the 1940s one really is :049: :049: :049:
Ahh but the beauty of the border collie is that you can still get types like Auld Hemp and the show ring has never had the chance to ruin the ISDS...
Ahh the lovely Rough Collie - one of my biggest dog disappointments will be never owning one of these dogs. I love the early dogs (the first two...
