The Farm Collie is a herding dog, of collie type. The term "Farm Collie" can have various definitions[1] including:
- Any collie-like dog that lives on a farm.
- Any collie-like dog that does farm work such as herding, guarding and pest control.
- A dog of the Scotch Collie type that works livestock in a loose-eyed style.
- The remnants of the original Scotch Collie that lived and worked on farms in America from which the Australian Shepherd and English Shepherd breeds derived.
- A Rough Collie of old fashioned looks that does not meet current interpretations of breed standards.
The diversity of definitions means that a Farm Collie's looks can vary greatly, ranging from those of a Border Collie to those of a Rough Collie[2]. There are no current registries that include Farm Collies for show purposes, the American Working Farmcollie Association registers Farm Collies based on working ability and merit.
