A friend of mine is looking for an ACD, she's had 4 ACDs in the past but she's been saying most of the breeders she can find now are purely show breeders that don't do anything else with their dogs and the type of dog is changing in a way that she doesn't like.
She's looking for working lines with a slightly less stocky body (she says this is introduced through show breeding and that if you visit farms down south, most of their ACDs are a bit more slender with longer legs). She also prefers a bit less heavy and bulky, with not such a blocky head (she says this has also increased from show breeding).
She doesn't care if the breeders show or not (actually prefers no show titles), but the breeder must work either on a farm, or prove themselves in trials.
I did a quick google search but couldn't come up with anything, do you guys know anyone? Or where she could contact?
Edit: she's looking for this type
