Holding Breed selection shows where the physical appearance of the dogs are evaluated in relation to the ideal type of BSD.
Running a Rescue Scheme for all 4 varieties of BSD
Providing Education in the form of: Breed clinics, etc from time to time.
Advising on Training

The Committee meets on a regular basis to manage the day-to-day running of the Club and to arrange the shows and events. Anyone wishing to participate and assist with this work is welcome to contact the Club and/or to contribute ideas.

Future of Club

Over the years the Club has held training classes, shows, dog walks, etc. However, unless people travel long distances these activities are only accessible for people in our immediate area.

Our aim of promoting the Breed has therefore been somewhat limited and the Club is investigating broadening its scope of activities to better achieve this.

Anyone with ideas or thoughts on how we can improve should feel free to contact us.
