Sophia D Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 My BC Sophia has been in por house for about 4 years. She has no tail and I really don't know if she is a different kind of BC. Are there any classifications or types for BC? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Oop Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Do you have a picture you could post? There are a lot of different "types" of BCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Jose, Generally border collies have tails. Some folks out in the western US do dock tails, but I don't think you'd generally find tailless border collies. Border collies come with a wide variety of appearances, but most people don't classify them into types. It's hard to say anything about the border collie culture in Puerto Rico, but your dog could certainly be a border collie with a docked tail. It's just not typical. J.

BustopherJones Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Jose, are you cetain that your dog is a Border Collie, and not an Australian Shepherd? With the exception of the tail, they can sometimes look quite similar, although the Australians I have seem tend to be more brown-and-white or tri-colored than black-and-white. Incidentally, where are you in Puerto Rico? I had many pleasant trips to Ponce (flew into San Juan and drove either over the mountains or around the rim of the island) when I used to work for a company that had a plant there.

Sophia D Posted May 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Yes I am sure is a Border Collie Lady. How can I send you a photo? I tried adding the photo from my Mac website bud did not work. I understand the photo must be on a website. Your are going to love my Sophia. I live in San Juan and I am sure you really enjoyed driving fron Sj to Ponce. It is a spectular drive and view.

Willikers Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 So nobody else thinks that the lovely Sophia is an Aussie? I have an Aussie boy that looks like her twin but I am too technically challenged to post a photo. Looks like a fine specimin of Aussie to me.

SoloRiver Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Hard to say. If there were a photo of her standing, in profile, that would help a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurie etc Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 Originally posted by Sophia D:... Soon I hope I will find a lovely husband for Sophia. Then I will become "Grandfather" ... Oops - you're going to get blasted for that one. If you don't even know whether she is really a Border Collie, why would you be even be considering breeding her?
