The ASA is the only North American branch of the Stabyhoun Associations. "Mother" is the Dutch NVSW, with wholly-recognized daughters in the USA, Canada, Norway, Finland, Sweden and Denmark. The associations work together to keep the Stabijhoun a healthy, friendly and beautiful breed. Information is shared about health issues, kept in a database with information about more than 13,000 Stabijhoun! Breeding plans are screened by the ASA and advised by the NVSW in full cooperation.

Chris and Lee The ASA is a non-profit International Club representing Stabyhoun owners and breeders in the United States and Canada. Our goal is to protect and advance the current standard of the breed as approved by the Dutch Stabyhoun Association and adopted by the FCI (Federation Cynologique Internationale) as the only standard of excellence by which the Stabyhoun shall be judged. The club will do all possible to bring the natural qualities of the Stabyhoun to perfection according to the Dutch breed standard.
Our organization is a wholly-recognized partner of the Dutch Stabij and Wetterhoun Association having a mutual interest in maintaining the highest breeding standards of the pure bred Stabyhoun.
We will conduct sanctioned matches, national specialty shows, and obedience and field trials with our members to maintain the Dutch Standard.
