I don't understand why so many people are upset by it. Over the years I have been asked many times " does an aussie work different then a border collie, sheltie, kelpie, turv? "- it was easy , basically I told them what the working description discribes. If the membership of ASCA feels it should be voted on by them, so be it. As a stockdog judge I don't feel my judging is affected by the working description.
