The Brandywine Valley Australian Shepherd Club is located in Southeastern Pennsylvania and serves Eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, Northeastern Maryland and Southern New Jersey. We offer shows and trials in Conformation, Obedience, Agility and Stock throughout the year.
Our agility trial May 3 & 4, 2008, was small but a lot of fun. Judge Jackie Oricko designed some challenging courses that were flowing enough to make for successful runs! A great time was had by all, especially Kelly who finished Tosca's ATCH and Chris who finished Marshall's VCH! Many titles were finished and the next ones begun!
We invited a professional photographer who took hundreds of wonderful action photos. Michael will also be taking both action shots and win photos at the Summer Showdown, so bring your checkbook (he has VERY reasonable prices!). You will love his work. For those of you who were at the trial on Saturday but didn't make it back on Sunday when he brought his laptop with the photos loaded and his printer, check back here in the next few weeks. Michael is setting up a website so we can browse through the photos from the trial and purchase those we want. He also will make a CD with your choice of photos for a very reasonable price.
The Flyer for the 3rd Annual Summer Showdown Conformation, Obedience and Stock weekend, June 13-15, is now available for downloading on the Calendar of Events page!

DISCLAIMER--IMPORTANT
Those interested in the Australian Shepherd should be aware there are no size varieties of Australian Shepherds. There is no officially recognized Australian Shepherd variety such as "Standard," "Mini/Miniature," or "Toy" Australian Shepherd.
Advertisers of Standard, Miniature, and Toy Varieties of Australian Shepherds are simply employing marketing terminologies to facilitate the sale of animals to the unsuspecting public that are, in reality, just dramatically smaller than the norm.
Responsible, reputable Australian Shepherd breeders who care about protecting this unique, American breed of stock dog do not promote the sale of Standard or Miniature or Toy Varieties of Australian Shepherds. This is a marketing ploy to sell faulty, undersized pups for increased prices.
