A few years later, while on a trip around the country, Queen Victoria saw border collies and they caught her attention. She wanted to have several of these dogs and literally fell in love with them at first sight. Since then, Queen Victoria has become an ardent supporter of this breed. In 1876, Lloyd Price, another breed enthusiast, but not of royal descent, brought 100 sheep to demonstrate the abilities of the Border Collie, putting on a whole show.
