East Tennessee Border Collie Rescue

Over the past few years, the Border Collie has become one of the most overbred and misunderstood breeds in this country. Its prominence in movies, TV shows and the press, and its unfortunate rating as "the most intelligent breed in the world" has made it a target for puppy mills, back-yard breeders, and thoughtless but well-meaning individuals who insist that they need to reproduce the family genius without giving a thought to the future well-being of the puppies. In the U.K., the Border Collie is the second most common breed to be turned into Rescue, even to the point where the British press has printed several articles about the situation recently. I fear that the same thing will happen here unless energetic steps are taken to educate the public about this most work-oriented breed.
