BD.23.68 ASCA Breeders List – Puppies/Dogs Available

Motion by Creelman to add a page to the ASCA website: “ASCA Breeders List. Puppies/Dogs Available”. All Breeders listed must be ASCA members. The fee is $35 for a 90-day listing and can be renewed for the same price. Information will include the breeder’s name, email address, city, and state, as well as the date of birth of the litter, how many males/females, photos, and price.

The following disclaimer will appear on the page: “ASCA does not constitute endorsement of a particular breeder, nor a guarantee of a particular level of quality or service, so consumers should independently determine whether they should do business with a particular breeder and not rely on ASCA to resolve any related disputes.”

Second by Busquets.

Comments/Rationale: Puppy/dog buyers need a place to find Breeders of Australian Shepherds. This would provide an easy location with contact information for these litters. Breeders using this listing would be ASCA members only. It is for the purposes of providing Purebred Australian Shepherds to people who will give them a good home.

Affected: Breeders of Australian Shepherds that are ASCA members, people in search of purebred Australian Shepherds, the Webmaster.

Effective Date: Immediately upon Board approval.

AF.23.06 Requested Bylaw Changes from Zia ASC

Motion by Byrne to approve the proposed Bylaw changes for Zia ASC. Second by Wesen.

Current Wording: See attached.

Proposed Wording: See attached.

Comments/Rationale from the Affiliate: Our club’s Officers and Board of Directors voted to update our bylaws as they had never been modified since their inception on January 1, 1999.

Many of the suggested revisions came from the most recent version of the ASCA Bylaws provided to new clubs and affiliates. We also made changes to our election section to streamline the process with the timeline of our annually scheduled trials as well as have the option of using technology to assist in the timeliness and reduce the cost of the elections.

We did follow Robert’s Rules as well as ASCA’s documentation. Upon approval from ASCA’s BOD and Executive Secretary, the approved revisions will be presented to the Zia Club members, as per your direction, for a final vote of acceptance. The attachment below is a PDF showing the old information to be changed highlighted in gray with a strikethrough and the new information is beside it and highlighted in yellow.

Representative: Kelsey Culbertson, Zia ASC President.

Affected: Zia ASC.
