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]

Health: Leptospirosis

by Barbara Swartzlander

ZepherJoe, my 7-year-old Border Collie, was a fantastic agility athlete. He loved the game. He died on November 1, 2021, just weeks after the photo of him, (below left) was taken, of kidney failure secondary to Leptospirosis. He was not vaccinated….

What can we do to make returning to work easier on our dogs?

Gryffin - Recognize Signs of Stress
Recognize signs of stress

While social distancing from the world we have been spending our time with our dogs. There’s no doubt they have been loving all the extra attention. As we return to work and schools open up again, it’s finally back to business as usual for us. But we can’t expect the dogs to understand.

We should start NOW to prepare our dogs for the new routine of spending their days alone to lessen the chance of separation anxiety. We need to set them up for success as they become accustomed to what real life will be like moving forward. Please keep in mind: if you have purchased or adopted a new dog/puppy during the pandemic, they know no other life than their life with you being home. These dogs have no old routine to fall back on and will need extra preparation and patience.
