Editing Border Collie (section)

===Australia===
In [[Australia]], Border Collies are [[breed registry|registered]] with an [[Australian National Kennel Council]] (ANKC) affiliated state control body or with a working dog registry. Between 2,011 and 2,701 ANKC pedigreed Border Collies have been registered with the ANKC each year since 1986.<ref>[http://www.ankc.aust.com/nrs_group5.html National Registration Statistics] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060819052505/http://www.ankc.aust.com/nrs_group5.html |date=19 August 2006 }} 19 August 2006, at the [[Wayback Machine]]. Australian National Kennel Association. Retrieved 12 August 2007.</ref> Inclusion on the ANKC affiliate's main register allows Border Collies to compete in [[conformation show|conformation]], [[obedience trial|obedience]], [[dog agility|agility]], [[tracking trial|tracking]], [[disc dog]], herding and other ANKC-sanctioned events held by an ANKC affiliated club, while inclusion on the limited register prohibits entry in conformation events. The ANKC provides a breed standard; however, this applies to conformation events only and has no influence on dogs entering performance events. Non-ANKC pedigreed dogs may also be eligible for inclusion on an ANKC associate or sporting register and be able to compete in ANKC performance or herding events. Agility organisations such as the Agility Dog Association of Australia (ADAA) have their own registry which allows the inclusion of any dog wishing to compete in their events.
