Welcome NNASC

In 1991 the Northern Nevada Australian Shepherd Club (NNASC) became an affiliate of the Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA).  We're a group of people who greatly admire the Australian Shepherd for its intelligence, beauty and sense of fun. ASCA sanctions performance events for all breeds, including mixed, our agility, obedience, rally, and herding trials are open to ANY and ALL breeds of dogs.  Only our conformation shows are strictly for Australian Shepherds, although Junior Handlers may show any breed of dog, including mixed, in their classes, which are judged strictly on handling skills and not the conformation of the dog.  The wide variety of events we hold, and the fact that we welcome all breeds, contributes to the diversity of our club membership.

What will you find if you join our club? If you enjoy agility, obedience or rally, we have annual trials for all three, as well as fun matches, seminars and instructors who are members of our club. These are opportunities for you to train your dog just to be more obedient, or to become quite proficient and compete.  Maybe you just want to make some new friends who also love dogs, go on walks, enjoy holiday parties and picnics, and perhaps learn more about the Aussie (grooming, healthcare, etc.). Our monthly meetings are always pleasant opportunities to potluck, plan events and exchange stories about our "furkids."

The Northern Nevada Australian Shepherd Club is also a non-profit, philanthropic organization. In the past, we've provided Kuranda beds to local shelters, and donated to the Australian Shepherd Health & Genetics Institute (ASHGI), as well as other causes.  If you join our club, your efforts will benefit those less fortunate.
