sheena Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I am doing a bit of a demo at our local Education Campus tomorrow & thought I would just give them a brief history of the border collie. The Border Collie, Australian Shepherd, English Shepherd, Kelpie and McNab are all cousins, descended from working collies possessing traits that particular breeders found desirable for their purposes. I have never heard of a McNab dog before & a bit of Googling makes me think it is what we would call a short haired border collie or even a Koolie. Can anyone enlighten me please :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willem Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I did some reading before we got our short-hair (smooth coat) border collie and the best description about 'rough vs smooth' I found was here: http://darnfar.com/FAQ/rough_vs_smooth_coat.htm . The McNab seems to be a little bit heavier built https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McNab_dog...and here http://mcnabcattledogs.com/breedingStock.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
