We are an diverse group with two things binding us together: Our interest in Aussies, especially
our own dogs, and our desire to improve our handling and training skills. And one more thing:
we like to have fun! We always welcome new members and those who want help in getting started
with their dogs (Aussies and other breeds)-- either for competition, ranch work, or basic training.
Aussies can be intense, and that is one of their desirable traits when they are working, but if they
don't have a job to do, it can become a problem. Club members are always ready to assist new
Aussie owners with suggestions and resources that will make their relationship with their dog a
positive one. We maintain a club group list on Yahoo where club issues may be discussed in private.
Members also use this list to get advice when needed.
There are three types of membership:
Those under 18 are full members but cannot vote -- $25 annually.
You can apply for membership in our club by downloading the membership application and sending it
with appropriate fees to the club treasurer. Instructions are on the form. Memberships are renewed on
an annual basis and run from January 1st to December 31st or the calendar year.
The club welcomes members with other breeds as well as those with Aussies. In fact, it is not required
that members have dogs. However, since a main focus of the club is dog centered activities, most
members do have dogs with which they compete.
