******DEADLINE ALERTS******

 

The deadline for converting an AKC Australian Shepherd to an AKC Miniature American Shepherd is December 31, 2014. 

 

The deadline to register a litter that has an Australian Shepherd parent is February 1, 2015.  The litter must be whelped no later than December 31, 2014. It is highly recommended that you send your paperwork in as soon as possible after whelping to ensure that your litter can be processed by the deadline.

 

If you have a dog registered as a Miniature Australian Shepherd that is also registered with AKC as an Australian Shepherd, you must convert that dog to a Miniature American Shepherd by December 31, 2014 or offspring from that dog will not be accepted as of January 1, 2015.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, puppy papers may only be used to enter AKC regardless of the date the papers were issued.

 

Effective January 1, 2015, MASCUSA will no longer issue NAMASCUSA registration certificates.  Applications submitted must include the AKC/FSS Application and will only be processed for registration into AKC/FSS. Individuals who were issued an Individual Dog Registration (IDR) form for a dog whelped prior to January 1, 2014, may register their dogs in AKC by submitting the IDR form along with the AKC/FSS Application to MASCUSA. 

 

If you have any questions, please contact board@mascusa.org.

The first official Kennel Club Agility show for "Basileas General
Lucius" (Bodie) owned and trained by Sarah Woodley, and he won the
class putting his mum "Little Moons Yana of Basilea" (Yana) into 2nd
place. Very proud of this pair who I am sure have a great future ahead
of them.

For those looking for AKC shows to enter, please check the AKC superintendent for your region and ideally, get on their mailing list for show premiums to be sent to your address.

This is a list of all the AKC superintendents:
http://www.akc.org/events/conformation/superintendents.cfm

I think that the Working Aussie Source is one of the best locations on the net to find herding trials and clinics!

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!

HERDING PHOTOS!
I would love to see more pics of our dogs herding, so if you have some please
