Malcolm Taylor - 2009 Supreme Australian Championships Winner

 

Welcome to the
Australian Sheep Dog Workers' Association

The Australian Sheep Dog Workers' Association was established in 1988 to allow sheep dog workers' to speak with one voice, enabling better sponsorship and joint insurance, to conduct an Australian Championship and to administer interstate and international teams.

The mission of the ASDWA is to facilitate communications with the State working sheep dog associations, liaise with corporate sponsors, foster newcomers to the sport, organise major trials such as the annual Supreme Australian Championship, and to host and organise the annual Trans Tasman Test series between Australia and New Zealand.

Message from
Gordon Curtis,
ASDWA President

As the newly elected president I would like to congratulate and thank David Lacey and the past executive for managing the affairs of the association for the past two years. I would like to thank the South Australian Working Sheep Dog Association for running a very successful supreme trial.

Unfortunately I was only able to attend the trial for two days. This enabled me to catch up with as many people as I could that are involved in the working sheep dog associations from the different states. I am looking forward to meeting many more people during my term as president.
