A Sad Sad Story

[wombat2u2004]

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.

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.

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.

I agree, it's so sad that people are caught up in the olden days when that was ok. I hope a brown and white BC wins the best sheep herding title and shows all those stupid farmers that a dog can please no matter what colour. Essh that just SO stupid to think a dog can't work cause of it's colour. That poor BC that guys should have all his dogs taken away and not be aloud to ever breed again.

That sounds terrible. Why can't the guy look for someone to take the dogs before killing them? There are tons of people that would love to have a border collie..
