Just wondered cos the show ones I saw yesterday smelled of talc or similar, had been for a backcomb and had probably never ran more than 25m in their lives.

Also seemed smaller than most working collies?

I show border collies for a friend and all hers work on her farm there the 'true' border collies but the majority now are like what you saw they are most likely to be austrailian/new zeland lines and they prob couldnt do a days work the sizes vary in borders i show a bitch who is quite small but i show another bitch who is on the bigger size but still within the standard!
