All About Border Collies is presented by the United States Border Collie Club, Inc. (USBCC). The USBCC is dedicated to preserving the Border Collie as a working stock dog; opposing the showing, judging, and breeding of Border Collies based upon their appearance; promoting only careful breeding for the preservation of working ability and the avoidance of genetic defects; and helping Border Collie owners and the public generally to better understand and appreciate the traditional Border Collie, bred for work. Our web page is provided as a service to the public with these aims in mind. We are one of the most comprehensive Border Collie sites on the web, and we continually seek to expand our content. Bookmark this page, come back often, and let us know what you think!
