. 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 [PHEN 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 BuflFon meant, whereas every nation has its sheep dog, England alone having three, and by England we mean, of course, the British King- dom. BufFon could have known little or nothing about the sheep dogs of England, and much less of that of Scotland, hence neither of the three is a competitor for the right to be considered the most ancient of all breeds of dogs. But no matter what the age of the breed may be, there is no question as to the high rank in popularity enjoyed by the rough or Scotch collie at the present day. If we ate to take the records of the American Kennel Club as an in- fallible guide, he is beyond question the dog of the day. Volume XX, of the ''Stud Book" showing that 267 pages were required for the record of collies, wl^lile 140 pages sufficed for setters, 172 for Boston terriers and 106 for pointers. The whole of the spaniels were put on seventy-two pages, and the «ine-time leader in popularity, the fox terrier, filled the same number of pagesi as the spaniels. While not absolutely correct as a guide to the number, of setters, so many being bred for use only and never registered, yet theire is no throwing out the evidence of the great popularity of the Scotch collie in this country as well as in England.
