The collie is said to have started in the Highlands of Northern Scotland, as a shepherd's dog and while the exact origin is unknown, it is thought that they originated around 500 BCE, when they came with the Romans to what is now the United Kingdom. They were not recognized as a distinct breed until the 18th century. There are 2 different types of collie dogs:
