This "PALS" image has appeared on

(according to Maureen Sale who authored an article printed in
the Working Sheepdog News, November/December 1995 issue (No. 6,
Vol. 28). A postcard bearing the postmark of 1904 has been
submitted to the preparer of this website.

This image has appeared on postcards. One postcard,
purchased for use on this website, was postmarked September 29,
1911. However, another copy was sent where a message written on
the front had the date of June 15, 1903. That written date is
believed to be authentic. Both postcards had the title "Bearded
Collies" placed under the image.

The sender of this postcard
wrote across the bottom "Cockley Hill, Farthinghoe, Brackley,
Sept. 1904." This area is in the Northhamptonshire, U.K. area.
Stone cottages still exist in Farthinghoe that resemble the one
in this picture. A Beardie-like dog was on the lawn. Thanks to
assistance from Bridget Howell, this image was able to be placed
here.

It is believed that the South African Church Railway Mission Quarterly Paper
was an Anglican entity which published a quarterly paper as
early as October 1903. The locations of the entity which put out
the publication was listed as London and Edinburgh. This
photograph likely demonstrated how a Beardie-like dog assisted
in the collection of donations for the Mission's work in South
Africa. The image appeared on a postcard with a handwritten date
of 1908 on the back. Thanks to assistance from Bridget
Howell, this image was able to be placed here.

This image (enlarged for the website) was No.
48 from a Second Series of 48 issued by Gallaher, Ltd. Virginia
House, London & Belfast. The card states on the back: "SCOTCH
BEARDED COLLIE. Here is a venerable breed of Collie that has
been worked with sheep in Scotland for generations. His great
claim to distinction is the brilliant manner with which he
carries off the prizes in field trials and intelligence tests,
having a mind as quick on the uptake as can be found in any dog.
The Bearded type shown here is less common, but no less
characteristic of the breed, which varies a good deal."
