Please join us for 2014's largest of club events.

The AWSC Nationals consists of four consecutive days of events held during the month of August for the benefit of AWS owners and members of the AWSC. The National Specialty is a licensed AKC conformation dog show held specifically for the American Water Spaniel.  Other events during these four days include a Obedience Trial,  Rally Trial, Canine Good Citizen (CGC) test, Roustabout, Water Trial, AWSC Hunt Tests, Junior events, the club's annual meeting, an awards banquet, and much more.  The Nationals offers many opportunities to display your dogs' talents, meet and socialize with other AWS owners, and participate the AWSC's most important event of the year. 

This year's schedule provides additional opportunities for nearby conformation shows and events.  These include the Burlington Kennel Club and Waukesha Kennel Club shows just prior to the AWSC National Specialty events.  The Waukesha Kennel Club Show is an AWSC, Inc. supported entry.  See the Tentative Schedule of Events below for more information.

This year's schedule also contains two important seminars:  "Mean Seeds: Protecting Your Working Dog" presented by Catrhy Lewis and Deb Schoene, and "Collar Conditioning and Force Fetching by professional trainer Greg Brda.  See the Tentative Schedule of Events below for more information.

Health and Genetics Presentation:  "Mean Seeds:  Protecting Your Working Dog"
Learn how barbed seeds from some grass species can travel through your dog's body, setting up potentially fatal infections.  In this seminar, you will learn how to recognize the subtle changes in your dog's health and behavior that may indicate a grass initiated infection....early detection can literally make the difference between recovery or euthanasia.  You will also get valuable information to share with your veterinarian who most likely will have had little experience with these types of infections.  A question and answer session will follow the Seminar.
