BCSA Border Collie Society of America Official AKC National Breed Club and your guide to Border Collies About Us The mission of the Border Collie Society of America BCSA is to preserve and enhance the integrity of the Border Collie through promoting responsible breeding and ownership to preserve the working attributes and intelligence of the breed to prevent exploitation and abuse of the breed and promote a spirit of encouragement and learning for the membership in all Border Collie activities including but not limited to herding obedience agility conformation tracking companion dogs flyball and therapy dogs. Herding Border collies herd because their bodies and minds have been specifically crafted for the task. These dogs are amazing herding machines who are naturally drawn to chasing and controlling movements of animals. Many dog owners bring border collies into their homes without realizing what these dogs were bred for and why they behave in certain ways.
