My fondness for Border Collies wouldn’t make me very fond of the AKC running anything!

FWIW, the majority of conformation border collies showing in AKC are New Zealand or British imports. New Zealand is one of the largest sheep producers in the world and the British people eat far more sheep products than we do here.

So, my question is, if those 2 countries produce conformation BC's, but still obviously produce enough BC's to work the sheep farms, why is it so frightening to allow those who wish to show BC's here in AKC events?
