favor, and it was in order to get the nicest, 
jettest black with the deepest tan that at 
this time some crosses were made with 
Gordon setters. The result was disas¬ 
trous. The colors came up to the best 
expectations, but the true Collie coat was 
ruined and the dogs were cursed with 
heavy, peaked skulls and great, flappy 
ears. At this time, too, the blue merles, 
a corruption of blue marbled, were com¬ 
mon enough, but regarded with positive 
disfavor as an evidence of common, barn¬ 
yard stock. Blue puppies were silently 
dropped in the bucket — the less said about 
such things the better—and this charming 
and typical color, which is shown by no 
other breed, came near to being lost for¬ 
ever. Sir William Arkwright, son of the 
great spinning machinery inventor, is 
largely responsible for the preservation of 
the merle color, and his painstaking and 
faithful breeding efforts are now being 
rewarded by the present-day popularity of 
his favorite shade. For the past twenty 
years or more the rich, golden sable has 
undoubtedly had the call. It is to Old 
Cockie, through his grandson Ch. Charle¬ 
magne, that the present sable and white 
dogs trace, and the exceptional quality 
displayed by the members of this family 
has been an important factor in popular¬ 
izing this color. 
In fact, the history of the show Collie 
is practically a history of this illustrious 
family; so much so that it is famous among 
biologists as a splendid example of pre¬ 
potency. For this reason the family tree 
as drawn up by Mr. H. E. Packwood has 
a double interest:

These are the Collie heroes of the 
bench show world, the royal strain, the 
bluest of the blue blood that breeds cham¬ 
pions. 
Remembering where the Collie came 
from and what work he has been called 
upon during long centuries to do, one 
might make a shrewd guess that he would 
be an active, intelligent, faithful, hardy 
dog with a natural aptitude for a dog’s 
work on the farm. That is just exactly 
what he is. It is always a shame to citify 
a Collie, and it is a positive insult to the
