Welcome to the 2026 ASCA National Specialty information pages!
For those who have never attended, the Australian Shepherd Club of America’s National Specialty is an annual event that showcases Australian Shepherds in a variety of competitive events over a period of eight days. These competitive events include stockdog, obedience, rally, agility, conformation, junior handling, dock jumping, scent detection, and tracking. You will also find educational seminars and social events, such as the Welcome Reception where our prestigious member awards are presented and the Nationals Banquet where the Most Versatile Aussie for 2026 will be awarded. It’s an ASCA family reunion, and there is something for every Aussie lover, whether you are new to ASCA or a longtime member.
The 52nd ASCA National Specialty will be held from September 18-25, 2026, at Island Grove Park in Greeley, Colorado.
The 2026 ASCA Nationals Committee is composed of ASCA members from across the United States, representing many different states and ASCA affiliates!
