AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Days
The North Star Miniature American Shepherd Club participated in the Twin Cities RDOD. Rumor had it that it was the highest attendance that the event has ever had. We had 7 minis participating in the meet and greet. All of the dogs were great ambassadors for our breed! Thanks to all from NSMASC who came out and shared their furry friends with the public! |

ASHGI News: ASK is First 10-Steps Club!
The Australian Shepherd Klub (Austria) has become the first club to
participate in ASHGI's 10-Steps program.
10-Steps encourages a proactive and positive approach to breed health
issues. Participants agree to abide by ten simple rules - or steps - to
improve breed health. Initially the program was aimed at individuals but
ASHGI recently opened it up to clubs who wanted to encourage a positive
approach to health in their members. We hope other Aussie clubs will
consider signing on to 10-Steps.
Read the steps: <http://www.ashgi.org/home-page/programs/10-steps/steps>

Follow ASK's lead and urge your clubs to join 10-Steps!

Calling all members who would like to see well written articles, brochures, and pamphlets with beautiful pictures for/about our dogs published
.
I need volunteers to assist with the Public Relations Committee. One of the first projects is to put together a feature article for the SHOWSIGHT Magazine. These are exciting times in the history of our club and your help and input is much needed. Please let me know through a private email if you would be willing to help with the all-important advertising for our club moving forward in full recognition in AKC. There are other very important items that need our attention as well. No experience is necessary, just a willingness to participate and help get the job done. Together we can have great information, beautiful pictures about our wonderful breed, information about their personalities and trait, along with their accomplishments all published for the public to see. It is my hope that we can form an outstanding PR Committee so we can share with the public how far we have come with our breed. Please consider this committee as your way to help get the information into print for our breed.

The opening page is for ASCA Trials but be sure and click on the Other Calendars and the Regional Calendars and other Events of Interest! |
