BORDERLINES ADVERTISING POLICY (Effective January 2008):

BCSA recently removed its advertising restrictions and replaced them with the following position statement.

It is BCSA’s position that before making a decision on breeding a Border Collie, the breeder should perform all recommended health tests on the dog, as well as evaluate its temperament, and natural working ability and trainability on sheep. Border Collie purchasers should educate themselves on these topics and thoroughly interview the breeder about their breeding practices before making a buying decision on a Border Collie.
