keep many of his original traits. While it is not known if Hemp participated in any sheepdog trials, a dog from Telfer's own breeding stock, Sweep (a grandson of Hemp), won the International Sheep Dog Society's championship twice. Adam Telfer later bred and owned another dog named Hemp, a descendant of Old Hemp. The younger Hemp won the 1924 International Farmers Championship for sheepdogs. This was not the only victory in that competition by Old Hemp's descendants. Each of the twenty-nine collies that won the championship between 1906 and 1951 were descendants of Old Hemp. A Facebook campaign was started in 2012 to install a memorial to Telfer and Old Hemp, in Old Hemp's birthplace of West Woodburn, Northumberland, 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 Collies and their respective owners.
