International Sheep Dog Society

International Sheep Dog Society (ISDS) was formed with the intention of increasing interest in securing the better management of livestock by improving the shepherd's dog to enable further business and community services of the Society. This remains the intention today. It seeks to achieve this by, amongst other things, managing the registration of dogs in its stud book.

The International Sheep Dog Society was founded in 1906, with the purpose of "improving the shepherd's dog". In the early years, the ISDS was centred in the Scottish Borders, but over the years it has grown to be international.
