NEBCR's Charlee, is  an 8 year old Border Collie mix from New England Border Collie rescue and she  is one smart dog! She loves Freestyle and aglity and learning new behaviors,  but a neck  injury has her in rest mode right now.  At eight years young she can outrun and outlast her younger canine brother.  Charlee loves to do safety demo's for kids in the Safe Dogs Safe Kids program (free!), and she has a fabulous sense of humor. 
Three children got in the way of Charlee's agility career, but we haven't counted her out just quite yet and hope she mends soon with the help of  medical interventions.
Charlee joined our family with severe behavior issues. Nancy loves to tell the story of how on the day she brought  Charlee home, she  pulled so hard on the leash that she made all four of her peds bleed.  Charlee was fearful and reactive of other dogs and just about everyone Nancy knew, including her Vet, who called Charlee a porcupine as everyone one of her hairs used to stand on end in fear,  told her to send her back or put her down. 
The rest as they say is history.
