To all GSSCC members:

This is an important reminder that we require all members to behave to an appropriate standard consistent with the GSSCC Code of Conduct.

In particular, we remind everyone that our behaviour with our dogs in public will always come under scrutiny. It is critical that the way we interact with our dogs does not place either the sport or the organization in a poor light.

This of course applies to behaviour at any GSSCC event, but also applies to behaviour outside of official events. People will judge our sport and our working breed by how we and our dogs behave. Sometimes we may do things, even inadvertently, that may cause concern to members of the public.

We ask everyone to be particularly attentive to this issue, in order to represent our sport and our breed in the best way.

Yours sincerely, Board of Directors, GSSCC
