    That is shocking! I'm sure that BC would have made someone a great pet and companion, and who knows, all those brown and white BCs could have made excellent farm dogs. Tradition's a fickle thing, sometimes.

    I wonder if there is a border collie rescue in Aus, as there are Greyhound rescues for Greyhounds that can no longer race.

    How HORRIBLE.

    They have a pet rescue here in our town, but when someone actually takes one of there own dogs there, they get charged a fee.
    Guess those farmers just don't want to part with their hard earned money.
    It's a shame tho.....when the pup was shot, I was away in Sydney on a job....if I'd have known of the situation, I would have drove out and taken him, and brought him home.

    Yes, I think it is kinda like a tradition amongst those people.....a pretty ignorant tradition if you ask me.

    Maybe they need to know that they could make a little money selling the dog as pet quality, rather than wasting a bullet shooting it. While I don't like it at least the dog would be alive.

    So very, very sad. Play and have fun at the bridge sweet pup.

    Borders of all colours make good herders. They don't have to be black and white.

    There is a well known sheepdog trainer and shepherd in the UK, I forget his name, and all of his dogs are red and white.

    They also say the same things about white factored dogs but then a woman shepherd came along with her white BC and proved them all wrong.

    Sheesh, some people have no soddin idea.
    Dogs are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole.

    That's cruel and pointless. He could have found the BC a loving home.

    What a sad story. It's too bad that some people still consider working dogs as property and not a part of the family. When that piece of property stops working just throw it away; such a disgusting practice.
