...konden we Scooter meenemen naar Engeland en hem op zaterdag 9 december 2000 showen op de Championship Show van de Ladies Kennel Association (LKA) in Birmingham.
Scooter is daarmee de eerste Aussie van het Europese continent die deelnam aan een show in Engeland!
...we were able to take Scooter to England and show him on Saturday December 9th at the Championship Show of the Ladies Kennel Association (LKA) in Birmingham. Scooter is the very first Aussie from the European continent that was shown in England!
Omdat er op de LKA-show geen aparte klasses voor Aussies waren, was Scooter ingeschreven in de Any Variety Pastoral Not Separately Classified (naast Australian Shepherds ook Australian Cattle Dogs, Komondors, Duitse Herders, Briards, Belgische Herders/Mechelaar en Estrela Berghonden) openklas reuen.
As there were no separate classes for Aussies at the LKA-show Scooter was entered in the Any Variety Pastoral Not Separately Classified (besides Australian Shepherds also Australian Cattle Dogs, Komondors, German Shepherd Dogs, Briards, Belgian Shepherd Dogs/Malinois and Estrela Mountain Dogs) open dog class.
Scooter logeerde bij Jayne en Wally Holligan van de Applethorn kennels, waar we zeer gastvrij zijn ontvangen. Zijn kennelmaatjes waren Amerikaans kampioen Thornapple Diamond Rio (Bubba, een black tri reu) en Trijem Secret Affair at Deerhill (Flossie, een blue merle teef)

De eerste drie Australian Shepherds kwamen in 1985 naar Engeland. Het eerste nest op Engelse bodem werd in datzelfde jaar geboren. Er zijn twee Aussie rasverenigingen in Engeland: de Australian Shepherd Club of the UK (ASCUK, opgericht in 1986) en de National Australian Shepherd Association (NASA, opgericht in 1996). De Engelse Kennel Club gaf de Aussie in 2000 een volledige erkenning.
