The American Border Collie Association exists to register, maintain and verify the pedigrees of Border Collies, to promote and foster in North America the breeding, training and distribution of reliable working Border Collies, and to promote stockdog trials and exhibitions.

The United States Border Collie Handler’s Association, Inc. (USBCHA) is the sanctioning body for sheep and cattle dog trials trials throughout the United States and Canada. It was founded in 1979 and has grown into an organization of more than 800 members. USBCHA members come from varied walks of life and professions. They share a common love for the Border Collie and work to promote the herding instincts that make the Border Collie the premiere herding dog. The result of their work is on display at every USBCHA sanctioned trial.

The International Sheep Dog Society is a member organization and registers over 6,000 Border Collie pups every year on behalf of its members. The ISDS Number and Dog Certificate are a guarantee of pedigree that, for most dogs, can be traced back over 100 years.  We also organise the National Sheepdog Trials for England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales that take place each Summer, along with the International (four nations) Trial. Then, every three years, we stage the World Trials.

The USBCC is dedicated to preserving the Border Collie as a working stock dog; opposing the showing, judging, and breeding of Border Collies based upon their appearance; promoting only careful breeding for the preservation of working ability and the avoidance of genetic defects; and helping Border Collie owners and the public generally to better understand and appreciate the traditional Border Collie, bred for work.

The Canadian Border Collie Association’s objectives are the encouragement, development and regulation of the breeding of purebred Border Collies in Canada.
