1. We are known as the Working Bearded Collie Socieity.
  2. Our aim is to form a register for the Working Bearded Collie and to promote the dogs as genuine working dogs once again.
  3. We intend to hold 'meets'  to show our dogs abilities and meet new Beardie owners, so as to plan future matings etc to ensure the continuation of the breed.
  4. We aim to send out 2 news letters a year to help keep members in touch and  informed.
  5. Subscriptions are to run 1 January to 31 December each year.   Anyone on or after 1  July will pay the joining fee plus half of the  annual sum.
  6. Any ideas, complaints or suggestions are to be put in writing, signed and sent to any   committee member.  These will be circulated to the Committee members prior to a  meeting, and they will be discussed at the next Committee meeting.
  7. The Society will hold an AGM at the Langdale meet and any    proposals, additions  to or  alternations of rules need to be sent to    the Society at least one month BEFORE the AGM to enable time for circulation to members BEFORE THE AGM.
  8. That anyone holding a position within the Socieity, possessing any materials or information that is the property of the WBCS, agree to hand over such property on cessation of position held, or cessation    of membership.
  9. The Society's name can only be used on Society business.
  10. Breeding: No bitch should be mated before 18 months of age, or more than once per calendar year (for the welfare of the bitch).  Puppies should not leave the breeder before 8 weeks old.
  11. Registration of Puppies - All litters must be registered by the breeder.  It is the sole responsibility of the Breeder/Owner, and not    the purchaser of the puppy.  No part litters will be registered.  Dogs        and puppies are only eligible for registration with the WBCS by fully paid up members of the Society.
  12. Any members who repeatedly flaunts any of the Socieity's rules will    be referred to the committee.
