WRESSAA February General Meeting, stay tuned for details.

WRESSAA is a provincial association, recognized by the Canadian Kennel Club, that was founded in August 1989 by a group of breeders and Springer fanciers in order to promote the English Springer Spaniel to the public and to educate pet owners & breeders on many aspects concerning the breed. One of the primary mandates of the Club is to promote responsible pet ownership and breeding.

Besides educational seminars (grooming, eye clinics, ring stewarding, etc.) we hold several fun events throughout the year.  We also hold several fund raisers in which a percentage of the proceeds is donated to charitable organizations.  In 2004, WRESSAA was thrilled to host the English Springer Spaniel Club of Canada National Specialty Show & Trial & our Specialty Show & Licensed Obedience Trial in conjunction with the Alberta Kennel Club's 100th Anniversary shows.   Check out the 2004 results.  This was the second time that WRESSAA hosted the ESSCC National Specialty -- the first was in 2000. We hosted our first two all-breed agility trials on Monday August 7, 2006 at Shouldice Park in Calgary Alberta in conjunction with the Alberta Kennel Club Summer Shows.  August 2007 we had the honour of hosting the 5th International English Springer Spaniel Committee Symposium on August 3rd & 4th 2007 in conjunction with our Specialty Show & Trial and the Alberta Kennel Club Shows.  Check out the 2007 results.

THE SPRINGER TIMES, the educational newsletter of WRESSAA, is published 3 times a year -- the  deadline for submissions for the next issue is March 15, 2008.  For further information about the newsletter, please contact the editor, Anne Dorsay. 

We are a highly motivated group of people, always looking for new challenges. If you have a Springer or just enjoy the breed, come on out and join us!
