There's a border collie picture on the front page of the Waco Tribune-Herald Sunday paper. There was a Bluebonnet Sheepdog Show competition in Crawford this weekend. I didn't know about it until just now when I picked up a paper at the store.
If they do field trials with working border collies, they are something to watch. If its just a beauty contest, I'd say 'forget it'.
The Scots would pitch a fit over a beauty contest because those dogs have been bred for over 400 years for their instinct, not prettiness. I'm afraid the association/AKC made a big mistake in allowing beauty contest shows for these dogs.
