i own border collies, 2 pretty gals! for dogsports get one from a farm with herding parents, please dont show a border collie, only barbie collies can win shows anyway and they dont even look like real borders, they look exactly like aussies with a tail. and have no ability whatsoever for dogsports not to mention they are ruining the breed by showing them, someone tried showing a real border to see what would happend, obisously the barbie collie won the real BCs were not even accepted!

i have heard that BC's are not shown in some countrie's because they want to keep them doing what they were bred for and not go on the looks of a dog
yes that is true, a BC is the only breed that has not been taken over by a machine, by barbie collie i mean they were bred for looks, they are fluffy, with short legs,and short muzzles, when bred properly they GENERALLY not always have long legs, long muzzles,flat coats, ect.. people argue that we dont care about the looks yet we condemn barbies because of there looks, that is not the case, a BC needs long legs to run all day, they cant have a fluffy coat cuz it gets cought up in bushes ect.. and we dont want them to becum smushed faced like all the other breeds, running all day they need to breath properly just do dogsports with them
