My very good friend is looking to adopt a young BC or BC mix. She lives in Las Vegas. Anyone know of any resources, let me know.

here's a group on petfinder: http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NV83.html

and she might want to check with these southern california groups - they may do nearby out-of-state adoptions:

http://www.bcrescue.us/

Las Vegas has a terrific BC rescue org. A good friend works with them. They have a thriving herding community too. My friend rents out sheep and gives lessons.

Um, I can't google it for some reason. I'll have to ask how to get in touch with them!

That's great. She's a pet trainer and just lost an older dog this spring. She's a wonderful trainer and would keep the dog very active.

I'm not sure if Jen listed this group, yet:

Absolutely adorable in Mesquite AC (could be purebred smooth?):

Another adorable in Mesquite (without seeing the rest of her, could be all BC or Aussie/BC):
