[QUOTE="wbvs58, post: 1720399, member: 16453"] In Australia there are basically two breeds of Border Collie, the show and agility ones that will work if required but basically they have moved away from the working dog and are bred more on type for the show ring. Then you have the Working Border Collie which selection is purely on their working ability with livestock, they tend to be a bit longer in the leg than the show dog. I have a Border Collie and two Kelpies. The BC is the oldest at about 41/2 years, I bought her as a pup but gave her to my BIL as a 2 yr old as she was the most disobedient dog I had owned and was disruptive to my older male Kelpie at the time. My BIL died early this year so I took Millie back and since returning she has been great, just today I had her helping me in the yards as I worked 81 head by myself, she was very sensible and applied just the right amount of pressure on the cattle. The breeder did tell me at the time that they went close to shooting her mother and she didn't come good until about 3 years of age and was then their number one dog with working sheep for the agents at the saleyards.
