MEMBERSHIP
The BACKCSC provides opportunities for those new (and not so new) to the breed to gain more knowledge and experience in all aspects of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels ownership.
The BACKCSC offers two types of Membership--Associate and Regular. Both types of membership require two sponsors and a vote of acceptance by a majority of the Board of Directors and General Membership. The BACKCSC encourages all Members to be active in the sport and as such encourages participation on all levels of club activity.
