The 2020 SDCC Specialty was held in
memory of Lorraine Still, Jane Dixon and William Holbrook. Collie Club of America members Bob and Sally Futh, Svend Jensen, Jim Martin, and Anne Cross were formally congratulated as The American Kennel acknowledged these special individuals for their 50 years of service as AKC Dog Show Judges.
In 2009, club members became aware that Southern California Collie breed- ers and exhibitors were not exactly on the same page with Collie Rescue groups, and visa-versa, resulting from a lack of com- munication. So, the SDCC invited South- land Collie Rescue to hold a Rescue Raffle during the shows that included a display of beautiful, donated Collie items; art, jewelry, books and vintage items. The club’s goal was to mesh Collie breeders and exhibitors with Southland Collie Rescue volunteers and adopters. All proceeds from raffle ticket sales and donations would go directly to Collie Rescue. At the 2009 show the Rescue Raffle raised $400 for homeless Collies. It was a very nice start! Now, every year since 2009, breeders, exhibitors, club members and Southland Collie Rescue volunteers and adopters set a goal to beat the previous year’s proceeds. At the 2019 SDCC shows, over $2,000 was raised by the Rescue Raffle thanks to the continuing generosity of Col- lie breeders and exhibitors and their loving hearts.
