"The original collie" T-Shirt

The English Shepherd is the original collie. Once the most popular dog in the 1800"s you can find images of them in old photographs, paintings, illustrations, woodcuts, etc. They are the old farm collie that did everything from herding sheep, to driving cattle, to guarding chickens, to baby sitting children! After the Great Depression and World War II, they nearly died out with the loss of the "family" farm. Thanks to a few dedicated farmers, the English Shepherd survived and is making a come back. Not a show dog (thank goodness), but truly a dedicated worker, loving companion, and terribly loyal friend , the English Shepherd is definitely an ORIGINAL! Whether you are new to the breed or have been a fiercely loyal fan for years you can wear this shirt with pride. "The Original Collie" is a college of my two English Shepherd Collies, Bryn and Paige and is under my copyright.
