about-club

The Collie Club of Alabama, Inc. was first started in the early 1960's by a group of Collie fanciers in the Birmingham, Alabama area. The club quickly grew and has over the years consistently hosted Specialties and other educational events.

We currently have ____ active members. Most members are also members of our Parent Club, The Collie Club of America. We also have Junior Membership. The Juniors in our club are a true assetto the Membership and to the breed. They participate in our educational functions, seminars, as well as take on special projects. They are the true handlers of the future, and in many cases, of today as well!

In 1996, two of our Club Members who had attended The Collie Club of America Foundation's Sunnybank Weekend came up with an idea for our Club to host an annual event, inviting people from all over to participate. This was the beginning of "Getting To Know You" Weekend. This weekend event takes place to help raise money for the Collie Club of America Foundation, an organization which raises money to provide grants for research on the health of the collie. This event has become one of the most successful educational events in Collie Club of Alabama history. We have enjoyed the company of many collie breeders, sitting on panels and discussing a wide variety of topics; Dr. Cindi Bossart, Brenda Miramon, and many others. The year 2001 marks our 5th anniversary of this event, and we feel is will be better than ever. GTKY-2001 starts the beginning of our new "home". It will take place at the Rolling Hills Camp, located in Calera, Alabama, just south of Birmingham. This is a most beautiful wooded area that will allow us to offer much more than ever for this power packed weekend.

In addition to the seminars and clinics, we host our Spring Specialty during that same weekend. Be sure and check out the website dedicated to the specialty.

The Collie Club of Alabama welcomes new members who are interested in learning more about this wonderful breed. We feel there is a place in our club for the active showman, hobby kennel, and those who enjoy the collie as a family companion.
