The Border Collie is beloved by many as an impressive species of herding dog. Originating along the Border country between England and Scotland, they were raised for their obedient sense of how to wrangle sheep and for their ability to work long days on rugged terrain. Shepherds, farmers, and dog lovers alike agree that Border Collies are one of the most intelligent breeds on earth. Their ability to move sheep over incredibly long distances is an impressive feat. The Borderlands of Scotland and England have no natural predators for the sheep, but the hilly terrain is incredibly difficult to maneuver the sheep over while keeping them together. As early as the 1700s, UK Shepherds began competitions to display their prized Border Collie’s abilities, a tradition that made its way across the pond to competitions all over America, most notably the Meeker National in Colorado.

The Border Collie is known for two unique herding techniques, the Crouch and the Eye. The skill of eye contact takes particular finesse. An excellent herding dog knows the right amount of Eye gains control over the sheep without threatening it or making the sheep afraid.

The Border Collie Crouch pendant celebrates this incredible dog breed in this sleek and stylish BC pendant. We see the Border Collie pendant in the famous crouch position, communicating effortlessly with the herd it has been employed to protect. Inside the body of the Border Collie charm, two happy sheep heads with stippled ears and plenty of fluffy wool adding stylish detail to the Border Collie’s active stance. The Border Collie crouch is captured with poise and grace, with its ears active and alert and its snout low to the ground, ready to make potential energy kinetic. The BC rough coat of its fore chest adds lifelike detail yet still maintains the sleek and stylish look.
