In 1975
Australian Shepherd Club of San Diego
County (ASCSDC) became an affiliate club
of the Australian Shepherd Club of
America (ASCA). ASCSDC held it's first
sanctioned conformation and obedience
show the same year in Escondido,
California. ASCSDC proudly hosts
approximately ten sanctioned conformation
shows and obedience
trials. We have added several agility and herding trials
to our yearly event schedule. The club has approximately
thirty
members active in all areas of
competition or therapy work with service
dogs. |

In 1981 a
merit program was started, recognizing
and honoring the achievements of our
members and their dogs. We offer performance class
awards for Aussie and Non- Aussie competitors. Adults and
juniors are awarded in all areas of
competition at our annual banquet. |

The Aussie
Admirer is our newsletter. The
Aussie Admirer keeps club members
informed of club changes, business, upcoming
events, brags, show results and other
pertinent club information. We have added an
internet club mailing
list for better communication in keeping club members
informed. |

|
Our main
goal is preserving the integrity of the
Australian Shepherd. We do this through
education. We offer educational talks
with a variety of guest speakers. We give
handling clinics covering all areas of
dog related activities. Also, we
participate in community awareness
programs. |

The club
takes great pride in our junior program.
We feel it is our responsibility to
educate and support our junior
membership. After all, the juniors today
are the future of the Australian
Shepherd. |
