Welcome to NEBCR Newsletter & Journal

Dear Friends and Family of NEBCR:

Welcome to the NEBCR Newsletter & Journal.

We want this to be your publication. In order for that to happen we need you to send in news, stories and photos of your rescue Border Collies. Don’t worry about how it looks or sounds. That’s what the editor is for.

We also hope to have content to educate the public on our breed: how it acts, how it looks, how it’s different from other collie breeds and how it’s the same. About what is important to know about the breed before they adopt. We want articles on the activities you enjoy with your dog: flyball, agility, herding, and other dog sports, or just hiking, playing ball, or just chilling. And about what’s happening in the organization itself. We also hope to present general articles and stories that represent our breed.

The NEBCR Newsletter & Journal will be published bi-monthly on the third Monday of the months of January, March, May, July, September, and November. Deadlines for submissions will be the first Monday of the months mentioned above, or two weeks before the newsletter goes to “press”. We can’t do this alone, so it’s up to you: please send your content and pictures to us at [email protected]

Ruby

Ruby is a sweet (and cute!) 16 months old herding breed mix. At 35lb, she is the perfect size to snuggle with and take on adventures too.

Ruby is a people pleaser and love bug at heart. She is treat-motivated, smart as a whip and with consistency has learned several commands in her foster home.

Milo

Milo is a 4 year old, 30 lb. neutered male mix in Phelps, NY

Milo is an Australian Shepard Border Collie Mix. He is a very high energy dog that just wants love and attention. His most favorite thing to do is cuddle, he gives the best doggy hugs I’ve ever had. Milo is incredibly smart (too smart for his own good it seems) and easily trainable. He is completely housebroken (I can count on 1 hand the number of accidents we’ve had in the 4 years we’ve had him) and knows all of the basic commands.

Snoopy

Snoopy is an 18 month old spayed and fully vaccinated female collie mix. She is mixed with Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and a little bit of St. Bernard.

We got her about a year ago as a rescue and she is the most loving and sweet soul. All she wants to do is please us. She’s a very happy girl, just loves to be alive and get affection from her humans.

She’s housebroken and crate trained and sleeps in a dog bed in our bedroom without problem. I do crate her when we leave the house for any length of time. She’s a medium sized dog, about 55 lbs.
