AKC and ASCA clubs host all kinds of events in which Aussies and their owners may participate. These include conformation shows, agility trials, working (ASCA) or herding (AKC) trials and much more. They have a huge pedigree database and you can trace your dog's ancestors back to the foundation of the blood line. These are the two most respectable registries.
Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) - The Canadian Kennel Club is the primary registry body for purebred dogs in Canada and currently recognizes 175 breeds. As a non-profit organization, the CDC is dedicated to encouraging, guiding, and advancing the interests of purebred dogs and their responsible owners and breeders in Canada and promoting the knowledge and understanding of the benefits which dogs can bring to Canadian society.
United Kennel Club (UKC) - Established in 1898, the United Kennel Club is the largest all-breed performance-dog registry in the world, registering dogs from all 50 states and 25 foreign countries. Our event emphasis is on the owner-handler and breeder, and their dogs. The environment is friendly, open, fun, educational and competitive. This registry also keeps good pedigree info.
