 HSSC NEWS for 2023 (Updated 2/2/2023)

HSSC has a GREAT 2023 planned!  WOW!

•  Conformation!  HSSC will once again participate in the spring Blue & Gray shows at the Harrisburg PA Farm Show Complex!  Designated specialties and supported entries — April 12th - 16th 2023
•  All-Breed Obedience/Rally Trials! April 29th - 30th 2023, Papillonia Dog Training Academy, Red Lion PA.  This is a great trial weekend at a wonderful ob/rally facility!  Join us!
•  Agility!  Our August and December trials were a great success!  Once again we will hold our two-day agility trial weekend on August 19th - 20th 2023, and our holiday agility trial weekend on December 15th - 17th 2023.  These are great trials!
• Scent Work!  HSSC is planning a two-day scent work trial (containers and exterior) for September 30th - October 1st 2023.  Check back regularly for more information and for the premium!
•  Herding Fun Days All-Breed Workshop!  June 3rd - 4th 2023
  We now have everything in place for our 2023 herding fun days workshop weekend!  This is a perfect opportunity for dog/handler teams interested in herding to give it a “try-out!”  This is a workshop for those NEW to herding and for those who would like to find out if herding is right for them!  It’s NOT a “show-and-go”; it is an experiential workshop for all breeds (appropriate for herdiing on sheep or ducks).
  The entry information is available NOW in EVENTS!
•  Seminars! We have plans in the pipeline for a number of scent work and agility seminars.  Watch our website during 2023 for more specific information!
• Member events!  We held our annual member banquet in January, as well as our summer picnic back in September.  Our 2023 summer picnic and banquet dates are yet to be determined… check back soon!
•  HSSC Rescue, in conjunction with our companion organization, Heart’s Promise Sheltie Rescue, works very hard to find new homes for rescued Shelties!  Find out LOTS MORE about our rescue Shelties on our HSSC RESCUE page!
