How do I become a member
of the Georgia Boxer Club?
An individual
must attend two membership meetings of
the Georgia Boxer Club before they are
eligible to receive an application for
membership. The application can be
obtained from the Georgia Boxer Club
Secretary after attending the second
meeting. This attendance requirement
provides an opportunity for Club Members
to get to know the individual seeking
membership and for the individual to get
to know the Club Members and understand
the work involved in Georgia Boxer Club
membership.
A prospective
member must complete the membership
application and be sponsored by two
Georgia Boxer Club members. The two
sponsors must be from different
families. The application will ask
questions concerning the prospective
member's past experience with boxers,
including: frequency of whelping
litters, past and present membership in
kennel clubs and other boxer clubs,
recent attendance at dog shows, and
areas in which the prospective member is
willing to work to further the Boxer
breed and goals of the Georgia Boxer
Club. The prospective member must read
and agree to abide by the Constitution
and By-Laws and the Rules of the Georgia
Boxer Club, as well as the Constitution
and By-laws of the American Boxer Club.
In addition, a prospective member must
certify that they will conduct
themselves in accordance with the American
Boxer
Club Code of Ethics.
The membership
application will typically be read at
two successive meeting and the
membership will vote on acceptance after
the second reading. Note that the
individual must have attended two
Georgia Boxer Club meetings within the
six month period immediately prior to
the second reading of the application.
