What is the Lone Star Bernese Mountain Dog Club?
Hello! We are thrilled for your interest in our club!
The Lone Star Bernese Mountain Dog Club was formed in May of 1991 by a small group of Texas enthusiasts located in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. We continue today as a widespread, but very dedicated, group. The LSBMDC is a regional club of the Bernese Mountain Dog Club of America (BMDCA).
The objects of our club are to provide a source of education and support for
fanciers of Bernese Mountain Dogs; to encourage and promote quality in the
breeding of purebred Bernese Mountain Dogs and to do all possible to bring
their natural qualities to perfection; to urge members and breeders to accept
the standard of the breed as approved by the American Kennel Club as the only
standard of excellence by which Bernese Mountain Dogs shall be judged; to do
all in our power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by
encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows and obedience trials; and to
conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows and obedience trials under the
rules of the American Kennel Club.
A copy of the LSBMDC Constitution and ByLaws can be found at LSBMDC Constitution and ByLaws.
The Club meets quarterly with attempts made to provide the meetings throughout the state of Texas. Meetings are often held in conjunction with club functions and other dog related events. Previously, we have offered AKC Canine Good Citizen Tests and educational meetings pertaining to the health and well-being of our breed; as well as fun times, with our dogs at the Capital Walk (followed by the reserved dog park with free barbeque lunch) in Austin last April and the Wurstfest Walkfest in New Braunfels, TX, this November.
We typically meet in January (D/FW area), March/April (tba), July (Houston Dog Show) and November (D/FW area); and try to have at least 2 fun outings each year in the Spring and Fall. Summer activities come to a standstill while our breed hibernates in the cold a/c!
The LSBMDC is run by our membership so we are always looking for fresh opinions to enhance our club. Please join us!
