General Information about NNASC

You don't need to own an Aussie to join NNASC; ASCA sanctions agility trials, tracking events, herding, fly ball and obedience trials in which any dog, including mixed breeds, can compete and earn titles. If you do have an Aussie and it isn't registered with ASCA, chances are that it still can be, if it meets the Aussie conformation standard.
       While NNASC does sanction several NADAC agility trials in northern Nevada, we also hold ASCA herding events, and our annual High Sierra Summer Classic - Obedience & Conformation Show every June. Our club's emphasis is not on showing, though. Our membership is comprised of people who like to do a wide variety of fun things with their Aussies, including hiking, practical obedience training, and just relaxing with their favorite couch potatoes. NNASC does not usually have monthly meetings (unless necessary). We gather when we have business to do, events to plan, and to socialize. Meetings are held at a restaurant, or a member's house, where we have lunch or dinner. An effort is made to schedule them between Reno, Carson City, and Gardnerville, Nevada so that members aren't always having to drive a distance.
       We take great pride in member Kathy Givens' work Aussie Rescue. A portion of our proceeds from NNASC events is donated to Kathy to help fund her work. It's very important to us.
       So, thank you for your interest in the Northern Nevada Australian Shepherd Club. We very much appreciate your membership, and know that you and your dog(s) are going to have a lot of fun with us!
