About the Border Collie Club of South Australia
Incorporated in September 2021 and affiliated with both DogsSA and the National Border Collie Council, the Border Collie Club of South Australia aims to encourage and promote the ethical breeding, care, training and exhibition of the breed, and promote public interest in the breed and activities that can be participated in with these versatile and very clever dogs.
One of the most exciting things about the Border Collie is their versatility. To showcase this, we hosted our inaugural conformation show and obedience and rally trials in May 2022 (just 8 months after forming the club) and hope to expand our events and exhibitions to include disciplines such as agility, tricks, dances with dogs and herding in coming years, potentially even being able to host the Border Collie National in the future - showcasing all the different elements of what our fantastic dogs can do, giving enthusiasts of our breed a chance to participate in events tailored to their dogs specifically, and they are also often really exciting events for people to come and watch, thus encouraging participation and interaction in club events and leading to increased membership which in turn will promote increased education opportunities and interest.
We are very excited to have three patrons of our club with an immense wealth of shared knowledge and experience within our breed, Mrs Lynn Harrison (Tullacrest), Mr John Sullivan and Mrs Joyce Sullivan (Kennoway). It stands us in very good stead moving forward to have their support and expertise to guide and promote our club.
