All
Border Collies - New look and features -
The new design of All Border Collies is
now up, as I'm sure you've noticed, and
some of the new features are now ready
for use.
The Border Collie Photo Gallery has
many improved features including slide
show viewing and the ability to post
comments on photos. Our
Forums have also been greatly
improved with the latest version of our
forum software. The
Featured Border Collie is now a
bi-monthly addition featuring
information and up to three photos on
each dog submitted rather than just a
single photo and no info. Hopefully you
enjoy the new features and ease of
navigation. Some sections of the site
are still under construction but will be
completed soon.
City dogs discover their inner-herders
- "VINCENT, Calif. (AP) — The sun is
shining, the fields are clear, and the
sheep — a jittery trio of fluff — are
just getting comfortable.... Suckers....
Selkie, a border collie recovering from
a tennis ball addiction, gets her cue.
She cuts a wide curve around the field,
hunches low and creeps in. Bleats of
protest are useless. The sheep stiffen
and get moving.... It's a good day to be
a dog.... Selkie isn't really a stock
dog but she plays one at Drummond Ranch,
which isn't really a livestock ranch,
but a 40-acre haven an hour outside Los
Angeles. There, city dogs escape their
leash-and-lounge existence and learn get
in touch with their inner herder."
