. The dog book. A popular history of the dog, with practical information as to care and management of house, kennel, and exhibition dogs; and descriptions of all the important breeds. Dogs. CHAPTER XXII Rough-Coated Collie HEN BufFon stated that the shepherd dog was the original dog from which all others had descended, he was a good deal nearer the truth than in a number of his theoretical assertions, many of which have been proved erroneous. One of the earliest dogs man must have had was that which took care of his property and protected his flocks from wild animals. The mistake all are likely to make in considering this claim of BufFon's is to assume that the particular sheep dog with which each one is most familiar was the one Buffon meant, wherieas every nation has its sheep dog, England alone having three, and by England we mean, of course, the British King- dom.

While not absolutely correct as a guide to the number of setters, so many being bred for use only and never registered, yet there is no throwing out the evidence of the great popularity of the Scotch collie in this country as well as in England.
