GTBCC Greater Tampa Bay Collie Club (GTBCC) serving all collie lovers
in the Tampa Bay area and beyond We have membership meetings once a month, currently via Zoom.

The Greater Tampa Bay Collie Club was established in 1981 by local Collie breeders from the Tampa Bay area. We are an AKC sanctioned club that is dedicated to honoring the purpose of the Breed Standard for the Collie. Our club hosts two AKC Collie specialty shows a year and one AKC sanctioned puppy match. We have participated in Performance and Conformation events with club members garnering notable achievements with their Collies. Many of our members are supporting members of the Collie Club of America, Collie Health Foundation, Collie Rescue, and Collie Club Quarter Century Group. We provide on-going education and advice on the care and training of the Collie. Those with an interest in Collies are invited and encouraged to join our club. Opportunities are available for members to volunteer, participate, and enjoy the club's two annual AKC specialty shows, our annual AKC-sanctioned puppy match as well as educational, charitable, and social activities. Our annual Collie specialties regularly attract top breeders, owners, and handlers who present some of the most outstanding Collies in the country. For more information on becoming a member and our meetings, please message us!

The Lakeland Winter Haven Kennel Club is commended for hosting a fantastic Strawberry Cluster weekend. The Greater Tampa Bay Collie Club provided trophy support for the event, and we encourage more collies to participate. If you are seeking respite from cold weather next year, consider attending. The cluster offers a diverse range of activities, including dock diving, scent work, rally, and Fast Cat. Conformation competitions feature best puppy, best BBE, and best veteran awards. We look forward to seeing you at the show next year.
