Thank you for your interest in our club! The mission of the Oregon Trail Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club is to preserve, protect and carefully promote the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed. We accept the responsibility for the future of our breed within our American Kennel Club designated territory. We would like to welcome like-minded people to our membership.  In following the guidelines of the American Kennel Club, the Oregon Trail Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club has established a set of criteria for its membership.

While membership is to be unrestricted as to residence, the Club's primary purpose is to be representative of the breeders and exhibitors in its immediate area. Regular and Household memberships are open to persons eighteen (18) years of age or older, who are in good standing with the American Kennel Club, and who subscribe to the purposes of this Club.  

 

Each applicant for membership shall apply on the form (below), which shall provide that the applicant agrees to abide by our Constitution and By-Laws, Code of Ethics and Guidelines for Conduct, and by the rules of the American Kennel Club.

A Regular Membership is open to persons age eighteen (18) years or older who own, or whose immediate household member owns, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and are in good standing with the Anerican Kennel Club, or who have an interest in the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel breed. Regular members are entitled to all rights and privileges, including voting privileges, of the Club.

 

The applicant for Regular or Household Membership must carry the endorsement (sponsorship) of two (2) Regular members in good standing who have known the applicant for twelve (12) months.  The applicant must attend two (2) general membership meetings.  At the third meeting, the application shall be submitted to a vote.

 

A Household Membership is open to two (2) adults residing in the same household who qualify for Regular Membership, each eligible to vote and hold office. The first annual membership fee shall be determined by the Board, and an additional annual membership in the same household shall be one-half (1/2) of the cost of the first membership.

 

An Associate Membership is open to individuals who are interested in Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, but do not satisfy the requirements for Regular Membership.  Associate members may be under eighteen (18) years of age.  Associate members shall be entitled to all privileges of the Club except that they shall not be permitted to vote, hold office or be counted in a quorum.
