All About Border Collies provides the border collie bulletin boards for your enjoyment and edification. We hope that both you and your dog will find them useful. The boards are loosely moderated, meaning that any off-topic posts will be removed and anyone repeatedly abusing the privilege of posting will be suspended. But as far as content goes, anything even vaguely border collie-related is welcome, from the silly to the shockingly controversial. Let's hear what's on your minds!

Please note that the software that we use for these forums (the "Ultimate Bulletin Board") has one annoying bug for Netscape users: if you try to use your back button when on the main page of the list of forums, you'll be given a "transfer interrupted!" error and sent back to the same page from which you were attempting to escape. (It was explained to us somberly that this isn't a bug, it's a feature: your browser is trying to tell whether you have a java or a non-java-enabled browser so it can allow you to read the boards efficiently.) At any rate, just click on the link back to the main All About Border Collies page in order to get out. Sorry about it; this software is so elegant that we think it's worth an annoyance or two.
