What we offer

The ATSDA serves its membership as a Breed club and Registry . As a breed club the ATSDA sanctions breed surveys and working trials for members to compete in and to have their ATSD evaluated. We have rendezvous once or twice a year where events will be scheduled. Rendezvous are a perfect occasion to meet other owners and learn more about the breed see special guest and sit in on seminars about training, breeding, etc.

As a registry we offer registration of individual ATSD and litters. We keep detailed information on all American Tundra Shepherd Dogs in our pedigree data base. As a member of the ATSDA you will recieve a detailed pedigree package of your ATSD. This package contains important information about the dogs listed in the pedigree, temperaments, size, colors as well as other important genetic information.

By establishing a set of Bylaws and adopting a Code of Ethics the Association set the groundwork for breeders and owners of ATS dogs to adhere to and to ensure the moral and ethical treatment of the American Tundra Shepherd Dog breed today and for future generations to come.
