Membership
Membership
in the Badgerland Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Club is
comprised of those who love the breed and have a sincere desire to work for
its welfare. Applying for membership indicates a commitment to the
Club's Mission Statement and signifies an agreement to abide by the
Club's Constitution, By-Laws, and Code of Ethics.
The BCKCSC
offers the following levels of membership:
Regular
Associate
Senior (over
65 years of age)
Junior

Associate
and Junior memberships retain all the rights and privileges within the
club, with the exception of the right to vote or hold office and the
inclusion in the club's breeder referral program.
Regular
membership requires sponsorship of two current club members in good
standing, therefore applicants who are new to the breed are encouraged
to first apply as associate members.
