Collies In A Highland Landscape by Wright Barker

Best friends are forever

Lassie

Amazing representation of two collies with a picturesque landscape is one of the artworks by Wright Barker. Highly intelligent, noble and sublime – that is the author vision of the breed. Indeed, Collies were highly praised in Stanley Coren’s “The Intelligence of Dogs” rating (four of the first sixteen ranks, with the Border Collie being the first).

The breed was developed in the United Kingdom. This is a type of herding dog with a very strong herding instinct. Used as guards for ships, Collies kept an instinct and special sense of guardianship that any Collies owner knows about.

The origin of “collie” may refer to a Scottish word “colley” (a mountain sheep of Scotland). Sometimes the name is believed to be related to dogs color (coll – “coal” or “black” – many collie types are black or black-and-white). But the most widespread patterns in many types are black-and-white or tricolour.

Collie puppies are excellent children’s companions, playful and gentle. Adult dogs are very devoted and protective. There is a story about a Collie traveled 2000 miles to find his family after getting lost. This breed has received the Ken-L-Ration Hero Dog (award to brave or heroic dogs) award 5 times. That’s why Collie has been portrayed in many books, films and TV shows as a protagonist. The most famous is Lassie, fictional Collie dog character.
