Old Hemp (1 September 1893 – May 1901) was a stud dog considered to be the progenitor to the Border Collie breed.

[3] Unlike many modern border collies, Hemp was a tri-colored dog with only a small amount of white fur on his trim.

His medium-sized stature and rough coat are commonly seen in the breed today, as many of his offspring continued to keep many of his original traits.

[16] A Facebook campaign was started in 2012 to install a memorial to Telfer and Old Hemp in West Woodburn, and permission was granted by the relevant authorities.

The unveiling of the memorial took place on September 8, 2015, and was attended by a large assembly of Border Collie owners with their dogs.
