luv2napp Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 I have a friend who lives in Knoxville, TN who is looking for a BC puppy that she can train to herd. She lives on a farm. Since she knows that every BC I've owned have been rescues, she'd like to look into that, knowing that she might have to select an older dog. I have no idea what direction to point her in and am very leary of TN Rescues after adopting Danny, a Swafford dog. Can anyone tell what rescues are legit? Thanks so much.

Dal & Mad's Mom Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 http://www.bordercollierescuetn.com/ http://www.tnbordercollierescue.com/ I can vouch that they are well established reptuable rescues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aljones Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Yep, I second now third Georgia's recommendations. I've worked with both East TN and West TN BCR over the years. I think members of both rescues are also members here, and East TN is based right there in Knoxville, so very close to your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2napp Posted April 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thank you very much! I feel much better knowing that I'll be sending her to a reputable place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olivia Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hello, I'm a member of the board of directors of ETBCR and we are indeed reputable. We are located in Knoxville. What kind of work is she looking to do? Hobby herding or trialing? Does she have her own stock? Feel free to PM me if I can be of assistance.

Sue R Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Both East and West TNBCR are great - my Lisa got her Ben from West TN and has worked with East TN, if I recall correctly. Good people, doing a great job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
