Introducing myself and my love of Dogs (Border Collies in particular)

and how I wish I could help every little fur face that needs us out there!.

My way to try and help is to provide the correct Border Collie breed information, and to help promote Responsible Dog Ownership for all, via my web sites listed below.

My sites also provide for me an opportunity to express my massive love of dogs, by being a great creative outlet for sharing Border Collie products & memorials to other dog lover's out there like me!!.

I not only provide information on our breed, but I also sell beautiful merchandise and hand painted products in both of my stores.

They include magnets, T-shirts, Cards, Window Clings, Sun catcher's and Caps, and all with the faces of our adorable Border Collies on them.

My Top100 Site List is also a great way to advertise for FREE. A wonderful place where all of my Doggy minded friends & Country/Prim Craft friends sites, can all be listed together in one place!!.

I help support the RSPCA as well as also promoting Dog Rescue as much as possible, for the Australia Border Collie Rescue Organization.

My web sites are guaranteed to give you hours of enjoyment, either reading the Border Collie information pages or browsing through our three huge pages of great links to friends!. We also have a new Plugboard page & Free links page that lets you advertise your site in return, for FREE!.

Changes to the ACT's domestic animals legislation

Changes to the ACT's domestic animals legislation

As of May 2008, pet owners living in the Canberra will have to microchip their dogs and desex their cats as soon as their pets are three months old. The new pet laws, introduced by the ACT Government, aim to regulate registration, micro-chipping and de-sexing. Territory and Municipal Services Minister John Hargreaves believes that the new laws will bring the ACT in line with Victoria and NSW, and that compulsory micro-chipping will benefit animal services by allowing them to quickly unite lost dogs with their owners. ''If all the dogs in town are micro-chipped it means that someone can be notified within 24 hours of the dog's retrieval and they can come and get him or her,'' he said. Anyone with more than three cats will now have to apply for “multiple cat” licences. The new legislation will also force owners to desex their kittens at three months rather than six months. Mr Hargreaves believes that this will prevent litters of unwanted kittens from being dumped. ''People will give kittens for Christmas and not for life, and instead of people doing the right thing they abandon the kittens, they set them loose on the highway, stick them in a plastic bag and chuck them in a pond,'' he said. ''We just have far too many kittens euthanased because they just can't find a home.'' Dog registration will also change. Previously, dog registration was done annually. Now, dogs will receive a one-off lifetime registration at the cost of $40. Mr Hargreaves expects that these changes will encourage potential pet owners to seriously think about the responsibility of pet ownership before taking the plunge and buying a real pet. Michael Linke, President of the RSPCA, welcomes the new laws but believes that there is still more work to be done.
