Editing Border Collie (section)

===Canada===
In Canada, [[Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada|Agriculture Canada]] has recognised the Canadian Border Collie Association<ref>[http://www.canadianbordercollies.org/ Canadian Border Collie Association] www.canadianbordercollies.org. Retrieved 12 August 2007.</ref> as the registry under the Animal Pedigree Act for any Border Collie that is designated as a "Pure Breed" in Canada.

The criteria used are based on herding lineage rather than appearance. It is a two-tiered registry in that dogs imported that are registered with a foreign Kennel Club that does hold conformation shows are given a "B" registration, whereas those that come directly from other working registries are placed on the "A" registry.

Recently, the Canadian Kennel Club has polled its members to decide if Border Collies should be included on the CKC "Miscellaneous List". This designation would allow Border Collie owners the ability to compete in all CKC events, but the CKC would not be the registering body. People who compete in performance events support the move. The CBCA is against this designation.
