Greetings members new and old!
It's been quite some time since our last actual update. I apologize for that. Many things have gone on that kept me distracted and busy BUT I have tried to keep up on anything that needed admin/mod approval such as submissions, etc.
There have been some new changes made and it is important you read these!
1. All membership is no longer auto-accepted. You will have to be approved by an admin or moderator. (This is purely so we can personally greet all new members and give them necessary information right up front.)
2. There is now a formalized list of rules in the journal list that is also linked to right on our front page at the top left. (Incase you missed it or are lazy, here's the handy link for you.)
3. I have added another helpful blog on Spaying and Neutering that is also found in the same location as the new information on our front pages as well as a link readily available in the list of journals.
4. We are now accepting applications from members new and old that would like to help us continue to more readily streamline the membership and submission process as well as potentially put together useful articles for our members as members of our "Herders" (aka Moderators) Team.
We only require that you be friendly, polite, willing to dedicate a few minutes a day to checking for new arrivals, and able to comply with all our rules and regulations as well as work in a team setting with being able to discuss any potential issues. Prior experience running groups or forums is preferred but if you're willing to do a trial run and prove yourself capable, then please drop me ( CrystalbrookAussies ) a note directly with information regarding past experiences and why you want to join our Herders Team.
I will accept applications from now until Sunday January 31st at 9PM MST (-0700 UTC).
I will send out my replies to selected applicants on Monday February 1st by 3PM MST (-0700 UTC).
Thank you all! I hope you had a wonderful time over the past holidays and I hope this year is off to a great start!

Interesting books to read
Hey guys,
Sorry for the lag between posts my personal life has been super busy with the holidays, a new puppy and a new horse.
Anyways, I thought I would bring up an interesting topic for all of you lovely people to discuss.
Does anyone have or have read any interesting books on herding dogs?
Like for instantance my adopted mom bought me Down from the Mountain. It's a historical fiction about an Aussie belonging to Anne Shope. Great read and keeps you interested all the way through but the bonus is the loyalty told about in the story is extremely true or Aussies.
Another good book isn't a story but actually a great book to have if you own,
Dog Reproduction and the Importance of Spay/Neuter
This was originally written for another group that no longer exists.
It has been altered a bit as well as added to information wise.

Why you really should get Daisy spayed and Fido neutered.

Helpful info on Pattern Whites and Double Merles
Okay so I decided to put this almost article out there because few people are educated in the differences between double merles (aka lethal whites) and pattern whites. (And even fewer bother to do research.)
Pattern whites
Pattern white Aussies or most any breed that has the merle gene (such as Collies, Border Collies, etc.) are born from parents in which either both parents were tri (or bi) colored or it was a tri (or bi) to merle breeding.
Generally but not always puppies that are pattern white results of these breedings are NOT blind or deaf. They are just what most breeders consider "mismarked". These dogs often live long healthy lives w
Rules for Herding-Dogs
1. We only accept photos and artwork of dogs that are in the herding breed category. Our formal folders are for breeds recognized by AKC but we do allow exceptions for non-AKC breeds under our *Herding Breed Specialized* folder.
2. Other breeds are not allowed unless photographed with a welcomed breed.
I.e. you can't submit photos of a Golden Retriever or Husky unless they're in the same photo as let's say a Border Collie. If you're not sure please ask feel free to ask any of the admins/mods.
3. Photos must be clearly in focus, well lit (the exception is silhouettes because then you are exposed for your background), and decluttered. We ver
