Our Club

The Central Rockies Schipperke Club was established to support the Schipperke dog breed in the Rocky Mountain region. We are currently a small club of around 30 members from Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. We have additional members from as far away as Florida.

CRSC is sanctioned as a licensed Specialty breed club by the American Kennel Club (AKC).

Most members show Schipperkes in AKC conformation and obedience, but membership is not limited. We encourage all who want to support the Schipperke breed to become members.

Meeting Schedule

Our meetings are normally the fourth Tuesday of each month. Meetings are posted on the events calendar. An educational program is presented at many meetings. A club Schipnic (picnic with Schipperkes) will be held in July, and a Holiday Meeting is usually held on the Saturday between Christmas and New Years.

Benefits of Membership

Membership in the CRSC benefits the Schipperke breed by providing a local resource for information. The CRSC actively educates the public by providing information booths and pamphlets at area shows.

Members are able and willing to help new Schipperke owners find the resources they need for their pet, obedience, or show dog. Many years of experience is available for sharing.

Club Documents

The Constitution and ByLaws are posted for members. There is also a printable Membership Application.
