===Introduction to New Zealand and Australia=== Collies were listed as imports to New Zealand as early as 1858, but the type was not specified.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/newspapers/TC18580611.2.4|title=Imports.|date=1858-06-11|work=Colonist|access-date=2018-04-18|pages=2}}</ref> In the late 1890s James Lilico<ref>{{Cite book|title=The breeding and training of sheep dogs|last=Lilico|first=James|publisher=Southland News|year=1920|isbn=978-3-540-63293-1|location=Invercargill, New Zealand}}</ref> (1861?β1945) of [[Christchurch]], [[New Zealand]], imported a number of working dogs from the [[United Kingdom]].

It is unclear whether Hindhope Jed was a descendant of Old Hemp. Born two years after him, she is mentioned in a ''British Hunts and Huntsmen'' article concerning a Mr John Elliot of Jedburgh:<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.noonbarra.com/history.html|title=Origin And History of the Australian Working Kelpie}}</ref> <blockquote>Mr. Elliot himself is well known for his breed of collies.

The [[New Zealand Heading Dog]] breed was developed from Border Collies.
