Our History

 

The Green Bay Shetland Sheepdog Club traces its roots back to 1988 when a group of passionate Shetland Sheepdog enthusiasts came together with a shared vision: to promote and celebrate the breed they adored. Throughout its history, the club has been dedicated to fostering camaraderie among owners, advancing breed education, and supporting responsible breeding practices. From fun-filled gatherings to competitive events, the Green Bay Shetland Sheepdog Club has remained steadfast in its commitment to preserving the integrity and excellence of the Shetland Sheepdog breed. With each passing year, the club continues to welcome new members and embrace the timeless bond between humans and their beloved Shelties.

The goals of the Green Bay Shetland Sheepdog Club are:

To do all possible to bring the natural qualities of the Shetland Sheepdog to perfection.

To urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by The American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which Shetland Sheepdogs shall be judged.

To do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed and to encourage sportsman-like competition at all dog competitions.

To conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows and obedience and rally trials under the rules of The American Kennel Club.
