BORDERLINES ADVERTISING POLICY (Effective January 2008):

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.

The BCSA Board of Directors and Editor reserve the right to refuse advertising or submissions which are not in the best interest of the breed, the club, or dog sports. Items included in this newsletter do not necessarily reflect the views of the Club, the Board, or the Editor. The Editor reserves the right to edit and/or verify all copy. Submissions remain the property of the authors.
