Border Collies Herding Livestock
Working Border Collies

Border Collies are a farmer's friend indeed! Hello, I'm Ann and I'm a huge fan of Border Collies. I raised Border Collies for about 13 years and continue to teach people about the breed to this day. This lens talks about Border Collies from a herding point of view. Although Border Collies have become quite popular in the dog world through commercials, AKC acceptance and Agility trials, I am still a firm believer in keeping the instincts alive in this fabulous animal. I do not condone the fact that people breed the dogs for looks or showmanship purposes.

So, without further ado, I introduce to you...the #1 Stock Dog...the Border Collie!
