InMemoryofmyMaggie Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Okay, I'm curious as to the differences in ABC, NASD, AIBC, and AKC. I know AKC focuses on conformation. Is there a difference between the other three? Thanks for any information you can give. My BCs are registered ABC. I'm just interested in finding out more info. Thanks again!

Shoofly Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 I don't think many people use AIBC or NASD any more. Last i heard, AIBC wasn't responding to registration requests. Maybe that's changed but i haven't heard it if it has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eileen Stein Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 NASDS was the first border collie registry in the US. AIBC was formed by a breakaway group, and later ABCA was formed by a breakaway group from the AIBC. All three survived until fairly recently, generally recognizing and accepting one another's papers for registration, but NASDS and AIBC have gradually dwindled away, and as far as I know they are not really functioning at this time. All three of these registries were/are oriented toward the "real" border collie, bred for herding work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northof49 Posted September 16, 2004 Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 The NASDS is still busy registering Border Collies - my last pup was registered with NASDS in 2003, as well as CBCA in Canada. Some people still prefer NASDS over ABCA because you aren't restricted in the number of letters in the Dog's registered name. Their turn around time is very satisfactory as well. I don't know about AIBC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InMemoryofmyMaggie Posted September 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2004 Okay, that's terrific! Thanks for the info. I'd rarely heard of the AIBC, but wasn't sure if they were still operating or not. My first BC was registered NASD, but that's been 6 years so didn't know the status of them. Thanks all for the response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
