BeardieList (formerly BDL, and still called that by us old-timers), BeardieAgility, beardie-fun, beardieherd-l, and other Beardie-related email lists (including ones in French, German, and Swedish!) are located at http://groups.yahoo.com. You can search on "beardie" and "bearded" and join the lists that come up in your search. You can also join these lists by just sending a 'subscribe" message, but you really should set up your profile in Yahoo. Otherwise, you won't be able to use the "digest" and "no mail" options.
BCL has a little less volume and some more free-wheeling discussions than BDL.
To join BCL, send mail to:
Majordomo@mail.serve.com
Leave your Subject: line blank (or enter a period if your mailer doesn't accept
blank Subject: lines).
In the body of the message, put:
SUBSCRIBE BEARDED-COLLIE-LIST
and your real name
Glenn Short maintains the B-BOP home page. It's a must-see! Glenn keeps up the list of links to other BDL members' home pages.
Some members of the Beardies-L list and friends have joined in the worldwide Beardie-net project called BOW (Beardies of the World). Monies raised from sales of the Calendar will benefit Beardie rescue efforts all over the world, as well as helping fund other worthwhile Beardie-related causes such as BONE and BeaCon. The BOW Calendar home page contains all the information you need to join in the fun.
