The Club was formed with the aim of bringing together breeders, exhibitors and fanciers of our rare breeds and to educate the public on their attributes as companions. It was also felt that our breeds needed representation with thegoverning bodies and that we needed to promote our breeds and provide education to judges.
At our inaugural meeting on 19th January 2009, our foundation committee was elected with Gerri Greig as president, Pia Kirke vice president, Robyn Bennett as secretary and Joan Harrison as treasurer. Lindsay Bolden and Cheryl Doig were elected to the committee.
We invite you to travel through our website and add any comments on our Visitor’s Page. We would love to hear from you.
In 2009, our year of incorporation, the club held four members’ competitions, utilizing the services of 13 aspiring judges, and we took part in the Big Day Out for Dogs at KCC Park in December 2009. This provided the public with many opportunities to see our breeds up close, both in show trim and pet clip.
In 2010 We had our Inaugural Open and Championship Shows on the 21st August 2010 and our AGM on the next day at KCC Park. We, also, took a stand at the Pet Expo at Caulfield Racecourse in February 2010 which was a great success.
In 2011 we held our second Championship and open shows, and put out our First Year book which was a great success thanks to our then President Lyn Costello
at the end of 2011 we held our Christmas break up at the Big Day Out again this time having a dog match against other toys, we had a good entry of 71 dogs. We would like to wish all members a happy and safe christmas and near year!
