I will only have dogs on the asssociate register (non pedigreed/papered)

Clovers registered name with the VCA (Victorian Canine Association) is Four Legged Clover FDCh, All associate registed dogs have to be spayed or neutered. and have to be registered to compete in Obedience, Agility (apart from ADAC agility i think), Tracking, Herding.
Clovers registered name with the AFA (Australian Flyball Association) is Clover FDCh (very simple)

And Elvis will be registered with both the VCA and the AFA, and most likly the herding club also. His name is going to be
Flying Elvis the King i dont see the point in pedigree Border Collies.

Cali i agree fully with what you said go the working Borders
