Welcome !
We are the regional Scottish Terrier club serving the six New
England states. We are affiliated with both the
Scottish
Terrier Club of America (STCA) and the American Kennel Club (AKC).
Purpose: To promote and preserve the Scottish Terrier breed through education and activities.
Club Profile: We are one of the oldest Scottish Terrier clubs
in the country. Established in 1939, we have over 65
years of service to the breed. |

Activities: Our yearly Calendar of
Events includes AKC-sanctioned matches, an annual Specialty, a
two-day Agility Trial, an
AKC Earthdog Trial, and an annual awards banquet. All of our events and activities are open to the public.
Spectators and friends are always welcome.
Newsletter: The club newsletter,
Scottie Tails, is published quarterly and contains educational articles, health updates and
information on club activities. Subscriptions are open to all
interested individuals. To subscribe, send a $12.00 check or money order payable to STCNE to:
David
Russell, Treasurer, 17 Westwood Drive, Worcester, MA 01609.
Membership: Our current membership consists of over 100
individual and family units. The club supports a wide variety of activities including
Agility, Earthdog and Conformation. Membership requirements include attending activities
and getting to know at least two club members. Letters of recommendation are required to join. For more information, contact the
Corresponding Secretary.
- How to become involved
- Have you recently purchased a puppy?
If the breeder was from the New England area, ask if they are a member of our club. If so, ask if they will help you
find a second sponsor and support your membership application. This is probably the easiest way to pursue
membership.
If you purchased a puppy from a pet shop or a breeder that is not a member of our club, check out our
Calendar of
Events and try to attend a couple activities so that you can meet
and get to know a few club members.
- Do you already have a Scottie, and want to try a new activity?
We too are trying to sponsor new activities. We have hosted
an annual Agility Trial every year since 1999, and our first AKC sanctioned Earthdog Trial
was held in 1998. Trying to host new activities is a challenge and
additional volunteers are always needed. Have you ever helped or volunteered for another organization? Maybe you
have a special talent that you would be willing to share in an effort to help improve our club.
The Scottish Terrier Club of America web site has an interesting article
titled "Behind
The Scenes" that is dedicated to the importance of club volunteers
and describes some of the ways that newcomers can help
- Do you need "help" with your Scottie?
Maybe your problem is unique, but most likely it is one that we have
experienced before. Send us an e-mail explaining your problem and we will try to help or find you an appropriate source of help.
There are two ways to participate in Club activities and
events. By signing up for the Scottie Tails newsletter, one
can learn about the Club's Calendar of Events and read about many of
the activities. Membership is a formal process that requires an
application and two letters of recommendation from club members.
