| How do I become a member
of the Georgia Boxer Club?
An individual
must attend two membership meetings of
the Georgia Boxer Club within a six (6)
month period 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.
