OUR CLUB    

On September 22, 1984, the Ontario Border Collie Club was formed near King City, Ontario. An enthusiastic group had gathered for a trial near Winchmore Farm, and they sat down after supper on Saturday night to draw up the aims and objectives of the new club.

The primary objective of the club is to promote the traditional herding ability of the Border Collie by holding trials and training clinics. The club also encourages obedience and other non-traditional uses of the dog.

It was decided to publish a newsletter a few times each year to keep members up to date on upcoming activities. The club members are mainly farm people with a high regard for and a common interest in the Border Collie. We want to maintain the dogs natural working instinct and hope to prevent it turning into nothing more than another show dog.

If you have an interest in working dogs on stock, or are interested in being an informed spectator at sheep dog trials, please feel free join us by filling out the Membership Form and returning it to the club's Secretary/Treasurer
