I am an ex dairy farmer, though I still milk for neighbors, and always bring the dogs to help. I have owned and worked ES, AS, BC and bought my first collie four years ago. I am just now (after lots of searching) discovering that it is very likely that she is an OTSC. When I received pictures of the bitch and sire, I was pleased that they did not posses the protruding snout and narrow head, or the bushy coat I was expecting. As my dog matured, I was surprised by her high level of intelligence, rodent hunting skills, herding instinct, and the way she nurtures and guards my children. I hope to be a part of bringing back this amazing breed of dog.
