MWCC promotes fine Collies based on the Collie Club of America breed standard, as approved by the AKC. MWCC members pursue the mission of promoting fine Collies through education, exhibition and example. Each year, MWCC presents two specialty shows and obedience matches, plus at least one puppy match. Such MWCC events consistently attract nationally-prominent judges’ panels and solid entries of fine Collies in breed and obedience. Other activities include complementary educational and social events related to our club mission.
