We would like to invite you to join the Vesturheims (New World) Icelandic Sheepdog Chapter,
currently encompassing western Canada. Here we hope to provide area Icelandic Sheepdog
owners with a network of fun like minded folks to organize to meet, compete and promote this
fabulous breed.

Events such as informal gatherings, meet the breed events, fun matches and the eventual
AKC/CKC sponsored conformation, obedience, rally and agility matches will be planned.
These events are not just geared towards the performance dog or the show dog but also our
wonderful pets. Many activities will be planned so all dogs will be included regardless of
whether they are altered or intact or level of obedience skills for fun for the whole family.

Membership:  Any Icelandic Sheepdog owner who is a member of the ISAA in good standing
is welcome to join. There is a $10.00 annual fee per household which include a quarterly e-
newsletter, discounted entry fees. The VISC adheres to the bylaws and code of ethics of the
ISAA.

If you would like to join the Vesturheims Icelandic Sheepdog Chapter please contact Ralph
Biggs who is co-ordinating these efforts at e-mail


VISCA is an informal chapter of the ISAA.  As such we do not require membership fees at this
time, but may request donations or payment for services rendered.  VISCA is based out of
Western Canada but welcomes members from all regions of North America. We support all
Icelandics and their owners in as many ways as possible. Some of our events include
Conformation, Rally, Agility, Flyball, and Judging seminars.

We also enjoy more informal gatherings such as picnics, dog walks, and off leash romps, as
time permits. Established in the summer of ’07, our senior members and board of directors
are comprised of well known ISD breeders and activists, throughout North America. If you are
already involved in the breed, are looking to find out more about the Icelandic Sheepdog, or
would like to join us in supporting the breed and attending one of our events, we would love
to hear from you.
