We are pleased that you inquired about the Australian Shepherd and
ASCA , parent club for this wonderful breed. On this site you will find general information about the breed and ASCA. We are very proud of this breed and our club made up of dedicated Aussie fanciers.
The Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA) was established as the parent club for the breed in 1957 and incorporated as a non-profit corporation. Increasing interest in competition led to the development of merit programs. These programs today provide certification and titles in Stockdog, Conformation, Obedience, Tracking, and Agility as well as recognition to the top Juniors. These programs increased ASCA's role as a service organization to much more than a registry. ASCA-registered Aussies can earn titles in every phase of competition as well as entry into ASCA's Hall of Fame which is reserved for outstanding sires, dams, and kennels. ASCA has over 70 Affiliate Clubs internationally providing sanctioned shows and trials for ASCA registered Aussies. We are proud to be the largest single breed dog registry in North America. Our organization is governed by volunteer Australian Shepherd fanciers elected by the membership and maintains a professional office staff at our central location in Bryan, Texas. ASCA provides an accurate stud book for this unique breed and offers programs in all areas where Aussies excel. ASCA is truly dedicated to preserving the Standard of Excellence. We encourage participation and membership in our organization and offer many benefits to our members: Full ASCA membership allows a fifty percent reduction in registration fees and includes a subscription to the Aussie Times, ASCA's bi-monthly newsletter.
