The Texassheepdogs@yahoo.com   list :

 There is an email list available to those interested in sheep and cattle dog training and trialling in Texas. While this list is not an official communication tool of the  TSCDA, the list was created for the benefit of our members, and many of our members use the list to keep in touch and exchange information. Events and topics of interest to TSCDA and all those interested in working stock dogs in Texas are encouraged.

 If you are interested in the list contact the moderator and list owner Kay Stephens at ksteph5260@aol.com or 936 825 2610 for  more information.
