LET’S BRING THE BEST TO THE WEST! 🐾

The ACDCA National Specialty is again visiting the site of one of earliest Matches, held in 1979. Let’s head West to celebrate memories that shaped us and the unforgettable dogs who’ve defined our breed through the decades.

So start your planning, and check often for updates here and on the facebook page. We look forward to seeing you in the West!
