ABOUT US
A public meeting was held at the
Grange Sailing Club in late 2002 to gauge the interest in starting an
independent sled dog club that would recognise and award all breeds of
working dogs for multiple events.
It was at this very meeting that overwhelming support lead to the
formation of the South Australian Sled Dog Club.
That very evening a committee was elected and they held their first
meeting to start planning the club and even took their first memberships to
make sure the club was financial from day one.
The club has an inclusive policy for all breeds of
working dogs and their owners rather than targeting traditional or specific
breeds.
The South Australian Sled Dog Club is the only sled dog
club in South Australia to hold multiple racing and weightpull events for
all breed working dogs.
Club Focus
The main focuses of the club are racing and
weightpull events.
However the club has also
been known to hold social walks,
backpacks and even obedience
training in the early days.
National Recognition
The South Australian Sled Dog Club was a founding member of the National
Sled Dog authority the Australian Sled dog Sports Association ( ASSA ) and
has been holding ASSA sanctioned events since it’s inception.
Membership
Membership is open to
anyone interested in helping to promote healthy and active canines
in the community.
Our membership has
grown over the years to become the largest membership base in South
Australia and includes singles, couples and families.
All different types of people from professional to students
with a love of dogs and seeing them compete in the events they were
originally bred for.
