Collies originated in the Scottish Highlands and were used to protect flocks of sheep or herds of cattle. These dogs were also probably used as all-around farm helpers and even hunting companions. There are several variations of the breed -- rough, smooth, bearded and border collies -- all of which were developed in Scotland, mostly as herding dogs. The modern rough collie, however, is a result of breeding the so-called "Scotch collie" with the borzoi, or Russian wolfhound, for a more elegant-looking animal. These dogs often have much less herding instinct than their earlier cousins.
