The Shetland Sheepdog Club of W.A. was formed in 1988.  A full committee was voted in consisting of a combination of Sheltie breeders and breeders who were also involved in breeding Rough Collies and Shelties.

 

The Club held various fundraising events since its formation and with the funds raised the Club was successful in financing the appointment of our first judge Mr Alan Jefferies  (prefix "Jefsfire") from the United Kingdom.  The club had worked hard to acquire our U.K. Judge and were very pleased to announce the date for the inaugural Championship Show as Sunday 8th November 1992.  The show was a huge success and well supported by our W.A. Sheltie members/breeders.  A record entry for the conformation classes of 46, with very few scratchings.  These dogs consisted of Shelties from W.A. / Aust. / N.Z. / U.K..

 

Trophies for the Championship Show were very generously donated by breeders from W.A. / N.S.W. /Vic. & N.T..

 

Each year around July/August our Championship Show is held.  A judge is contracted approximately 12 months prior to this show.  The judges for previous shows have come from U.K. & N.Z. and all over Australia and have been involved in breeding Shelties for many years.

 

Their are many areas of the Club other than conformation classes, commonly known as "the dog show", that the Club can offer to its members.  A quarterly newsletter full of information (financial members only) keeps you in touch with a wide range of activities within the Club, such as Obedience/Agility/ Fun Days for Pet Owners/ Quiz Nights/ Bingo/ Social Nights and the convenience of being able to talk to breeders about general care of your Sheltie.
