About US
GASC was founded in 1995. Our goal is to have fun while our dogs have fun!
Besides sponsoring clinics and workshops, many members of GASC mentor other members new to a particular venue. Our mission is to protect and preserve the Australian Shepherd and to educate the public about this wonderful and special American breed.
Australian Shepherds are an American breed and have no connection with Australia! The breed originated in the Basque region of the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France, but was dubbed the Australian Shepherd because of its association with Basque shepherds who came to the United States from Australia in the 1800's. Our wonderful Aussies have herded sheep and cattle in the West since the 19th century, and today make great companion pets as well as working dogs.
As part of promoting the working dog, GASC hosts agility, obedience, and rally trials, as well as herding lessons and trials. GASC also holds sanctioned conformation shows with the entrants being judged according to ASCA’s breed standards.
