Our History
A Look Back...
Our club was organized on Friday, February 12, 1971 by a core of 14 Schipperke fanciers in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, two of which are still members today. A very special guest attended our December 1971 meeting. Doris Lasser was in town visiting and brought Tuffy (Ch. Del Dorels Stardom) to the meeting.
The club became licensed by the American Kennel Club in 1975 and held its first specialty show on March 19, 1976, at Market Hall in Dallas, Texas.
Lone Star Schipperke Club (LSSC) has hosted the 1973, 1982, 1988 & 2017 Schipperke Club of America's National Specialties. LSSC held their specialties in conjunction with the SCA National in 2003, 2008 & 2017.
We celebrated our 40th show on October 1, 2016. The trophies were very special. 3 of the 4 judges were members and in attendance at our first show.
We hosted the 2017 SCA National Specialty on April 2-8, 2017, in Mesquite, Texas. It was a great success! The host hotel was fantastic and we made money for the SCA and LSSC.
We are a small club with members wo are dedicated to the betterment of the breed, public education and the survival of the club.
