"Hi, everybody!
Anyway I would like to answer to people, who wrote so nice words about my collies.
First for all thank you very much for compliments to collies from our breeding.
Angela, I understand your conception about classic and modern types. For you classic – it is standard collie and modern not fit the standard. I have other opinion about this question. For me collie which fit to standard is quality or high quality collie, but the types can be different. The types of collie (classic or modern) depend on types of constitution. The word – “classic” is only one word, not more. People, who became to use this word, were breeders of classic type collies. Of course they invented nice word for their collies. Many breeders call classic collies as “old fashioned” collies.
Lovely tricolor bitch on your photo is very good quality and she fit the standard, as the sable girl on my photo, both bitches are QUALITY collies, but for me they are not in same type!
Sable is stronger in bones and has more substance; her head is with more short muzzle and more strong underjaw. Tricolor looks more elegant, because she has other type of bones and muscular system. I agree with you, she is truly classic collie, but sable is modern. Because both are good construction in generally they both look nice.
Here I put some photos for comparison.
Left – nice head of classic bitch. Right – nice head of modern bitch.
Both heads fit the Standard, but everybody can feel the difference.
Left – classic dog, right – modern dog.
Classic bitch and modern bitch.
We can see that sometimes modern collies can to have more long neck and better front angulations then classic collies.
But always classic collies look little bit more elegant, because the type of constitution of them is more “dry”. May be this word is not used in English when we speak about dogs, sorry. In Russian and in Hungarian we can use this word, when we speak about “slim” dogs, or men.
I think breed needs in both types, because both types give to collie some positive things. People can to choice type that they like. But breeders must keep the Standard. The problem is that many breeders breed only type, in this case often they lost quality. But it is not because some type (modern, or classic) is not good, it is breeding mistakes.
