===Old Hemp=== {{Main|Old Hemp}} [[File:2015 Telfer Hemp Memorial 02.jpg|thumb|right|upright|[[Old Hemp]] Memorial at [[West Woodburn]], [[Northumberland]]]] Old Hemp, a [[Tricolor (dog)#Patterns|tricolour]] dog, was born in Northumberland, England in September 1893 and died in May 1901.<ref name="allbordercollies.com">{{cite web |url=http://www.allbordercollies.com/aboutbcs.php |title=About the Border Collie |publisher=Allbordercollies.com |access-date=2010-09-13 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080219114851/http://www.allbordercollies.com/aboutbcs.php |archive-date=2008-02-19 }}</ref> He was bred by Adam Telfer from Roy, a black and tan dog, and Meg, a black-coated, strong-eyed dog. Hemp was a quiet, powerful dog to which sheep responded easily. Many shepherds used him for stud and Hemp's working style became the Border Collie style. All [[purebred]] Border Collies alive today can trace an ancestral line back to Old Hemp.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.bordercolliemuseum.org/AuldHemp/AULDHEMP.html|title=BC Museum: AULDHEMP|website=www.bordercolliemuseum.org|access-date=2017-01-15}}</ref> He was believed to have sired as many as 200 pups over the span of his life.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://colliepoint.com/border-collie-history/|title=Border Collie History: From Old Hemp to New Beginnings - Collie Point|website=colliepoint.com|date=18 October 2018|language=en-US|access-date=2018-10-21}}</ref>
