Not hard to spot the ANKC supporters is it? I have two BCs. Bailey's pedigreed (Busheyhall Bluesboy) and Gypsy's working lines (Honeyvale), buit of course the ANKC people wouldn't recognise Honeyvale as a valid prefix. Bailey is a fluffy, gorgeous, good-natured, vaguely obedient eating machine (with an undershot jaw). Gypsy is a lean, gorgeous, good-natured, very obedient, phenomenally intelligent bitch who would much rather have a pat or a word of praise than a feed. Both are neutered and microchipped of course. When the time comes to say goodbye to Gypsy I'll be looking for another BC from a home breeder who's running Honeyvale lines (the original Honeyvale breeder at Clare here in SA has retired and is in poor health). As much as I love Bailey I wouldn't be rushing off to buy another pedigreed BC, but I do have the highest respect for some ANKC breeders, especially those who follow the rules and refrain from breeding from lines known or suspected to have CL in their lines AND have BCs that show the temperament and intelligence that makes BCs the best dog. There's a definite difference between a Border Collie and a Barbie Collie!
