our club happens to HAVE a border jack. ALL the BEST teams HAVE border jacks, not one person who knows what they are doing will sell a border jack to ANYONE who they do not know personaly, and its part of the contract they they MUST play flyball or agility with that dog, or give it back to the club. out clubs border jack is sweet and gentil, what breeding a border to a jack does is create a jack with an off switch. I agree that an inexperienced person should never ever own, or breed border jacks, most flyball clubs do know what they are doing, and do know just how high drive a BJ is. we will turn away anyone who we dont deem prepared for one of these dogs. they are also in extremly high demand amongst flyball people.

as for the shelter, no I have not volenteered there yet, however you have NEVER been to our shelter, with rarly ever has more then 4 dogs, who are all adopted VERY quikley, when dogs are adopted that fast around here, wich ones are going to be put to sleep? huh? they have a copasity of a LEAST a hundred, and they rarly have more then 4, they are adopted very quikly, even the rich folks get their dogs from the shelter. its extremly rare to see a stary dog wandering the street, we have no tatally fenced areas so everyone trains their dogs, we have 4 dog sport clubs in a small city, one with over 30 members. we also have at least 15 training halls other then the ones belonging to the sporting
groups etc.... get the idea?? not everywhere is as crowded as you may like to think it is. yes we do breed mixes, we also do research, my mom for example traced blairs entire family tree of genetics just to figer out his colour a LOT of people are like that around here, we dont just grab any two dogs and breed them. out club also advertises the few shelter dogs there are, and we do training for people who adopt from the shelter, so no we are not cluless.
