Becky SpencerWe (my husband and I) raise Nubian Dairy goats, Boer and Kiko meat goats, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and currently one token Arabian horse on over 100 acres.
We own 8 LGD’s, both Maremmas and Great Pyrenees. I love watching and learning about the different personalities of each dog individually and each breed as a whole. We are settled in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains at about 2300 ft elevation. Away from my “real job”, as an RN, I love to dabble at cheese making, play with the occupants, and take care of our farm. |
Experience |
Hello,
I am Becky Spencer and I am hoping to become a member of the Board of Directors for the Maremma Sheepdog club of America. My husband and I are rather new the Maremma dog world (3 years) and have found a breed that we can be excited about.. |
Statement of Purpose |
I want to be part of the growth and recognition of this breed. There are Maremma Sheepdog clubs all over the world and only one in the USA. One of my visions/goals is for the Maremma Sheepdog Club of America to be the gold standard; the club people look to for knowledge and information. I would also encourage breeders to be aware of genetic diversity and strong, heathy litters of puppies that conform to Breed Standards for the Maremma. I think good relations and communications with our international counterparts can help strengthen our own breeding programs
|
Mission Statement |
Education of the membership and the public is another goal of mine. Maremmas are wonderful guardian/farm dogs and the general farmer/rancher population need to know about them. I once asked this club to provide us with some flyers and/or education materials to take to a goat event and they were unable to provide any. These education materials should be accessible to all members in order to spread the word about our awesome dogs. I think members should also have access to a set of standard selling, breeding and stud service contracts, that are able to be customized; available through the web site on a member only page.
Thank you for your consideration, I am happy to fill whatever position needed. Cheers, Becky |
