Australian Shepherd Club of America

The Australian Shepherd Club of America (ASCA), established in 1957, is the largest independent breed-specific club in the United States representing Australian Shepherds. ASCA is more than a registry, offering a variety of programs and services for Aussie enthusiasts. These include agility, conformation, dock jumping, junior showmanship, obedience, rally, scent detection, stockdog, and tracking events. ASCA also provides resources for Aussie owners and breeders, such as DNA programs, basic genetics information, grooming tips, and a breeder referral service through local affiliate clubs. The organization's website offers access to rules and forms, title information, event calendars, and results. ASCA supports its members through various committees, a legislative committee, and a foundation. It also publishes the Aussie Times magazine. ASCA is located in Bryan, Texas.
