A basic title may be completed by earning only five points in three different categories, and the titles become more challenging from there!  It is designed to be merit-based and to avoid similarities to AKC-style conformation competitions in any way. You must be a member in good standing to participate in the program.  Any dog who is registered in the SCPS database is eligible to earn points, titles and awards.<br /><a style="color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;" href="https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/versatility-program-rules.html">Check it out here!</a><hr style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;" /><p><a style="color: inherit;"><img style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;" src="https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/published/119029278-3628245590554130-6653801179259438123-n_1.jpg" alt="Picture" /></a></p><strong><a style="color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;" href="https://www.americanstockdog.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Stock Dog Registry</a></strong><br />We are excited to announce the Scottish Collie has been approved as an official breed with the American Stock Dog Registry. Effective January 2021, Scottish Collies can be double registered with the American Stock Dog Registry and be added to their breeders pages as well as compete in many of the dogs shows hosted throughout the USA and occasionally Canada &amp; Europe.<br /><br />This is a great opportunity for SCPS breeders to promote their collies and announce upcoming litters to the thousands of followers who are involved with the ASDR.<br /><br />Their shows include training seminars, confirmation, agility, scentwork, herding, rally and obedience. Scottish Collies who participate in these events also will also be eligible for SCPS versatility awards.<br /><br />We are excited to be approved as a recognized breed with their registry and hope you will take advantage of the many opportunities this partnership will provide. Your collie must be registered with SCPS to participate.<br /><br />If you would like to learn more about ASDR in the meantime, please check out their website. <a style="color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;" href="https://www.americanstockdog.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.americanstockdog.org/</a><br /><a style="color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;" href="https://www.facebook.com/American-Stock-Dog-Registry-175368817839/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">https://www.facebook.com/American-Stock-Dog-Registry-175368817839/</a><hr style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; background-color: #fff2cc; width: 1286px; visibility: hidden;" /><p><a style="color: inherit;"><img style="border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.13); position: relative; background-color: transparent; margin-top: 5px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 3px;" src="https://www.scottishcolliepreservationsociety.com/uploads/1/1/9/9/119920223/spirit-dog-training-logo_orig.png" alt="Picture" /></a></p><strong style="color: #2a2a2a;"><a style="color: inherit; opacity: 0.7; border-bottom: 1px solid rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); transition-duration: 200ms; transition-timing-function: ease-in-out; transition-property: opacity;" href="https://spiritdogtraining.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Spirit Dog Training </a><br /> </strong>SCPS is partnered with Spirit Dog Training to provide discount online classes to our registered members and their collies.
