Welcome to the Official Home Page of the United States Australian Shepherd Association a member of The American Kennel Club.

This site contains a wealth of information and resources for you. 
Here's an overview of what you will find.

What's New?

NOTICE: Mailing Address Error on 2010 Judges Nomination Form
It has been brought to our attention there is an error in the mailing address on the 2010 Judges Nomination Form. Our Attorney has received some forms but there is the possibility others have not been delivered due to the address error.

To ensure everyone has the opportunity to submit a Nomination Form, USASA has extended the deadline to September 15, 2008.

Following is a new, corrected Nomination Form with the proper address and new deadline of September 15th.

Printable Nomination Form

Anyone who hasn't mailed a Nomination Form should use the new Nomination Form. Anyone who has already submitted a form should submit a new Nomination Form. All Nomination Forms postmarked by September 15, 2008 will be recorded. This includes those received with the August 30th deadline. If two forms are received from a member, our Attorney will use the new Form for the tabulation.

Once nominations have been recorded, these judges will be added to those nominated from the past three nationals and all will be included on the Judges Election Ballot. The results of the Judges Election Ballot will be used to determine the 2010 Nationals judges.
