Welcome
To the Buckeye Australian
Shepherd
Club's
home on the web.
BASC was formed in January
of 1997 and is an affiliate of
the Australian Shepherd Club of America, ASCA.
BASC has a
varied membership, which include
long-time breeders, and active obedience, herding and agility enthusiasts, as well as
new recruits. We also have members who do not own Australian Shepherds but are active
in performance events.
BASC's goals include the traditional pastimes of friendly, casual, yet professionally administered ASCA shows
and trials.
We welcome new members! »
The Australian Shepherd is a well balanced dog of medium size and bone. He is attentive and animated, showing strength and stamina combined with unusual agility. Slightly longer than tall, he has a coat of moderate length and coarseness with coloring that offers variety and individuality in each specimen. An identifying characteristic is his natural or docked bobtail. In each sex, masculinity or femininity is well defined.
The Australian Shepherd is intelligent, primarily a working dog of strong herding and guardian instincts. He is an exceptional companion. He is versatile and easily trained, performing his assigned tasks with great style and enthusiasm. He is reserved with strangers but does not exhibit shyness. Although an aggressive, authoritative worker, viciousness toward people or animals is intolerable.
