1949 - 1950's
    James A. "Mickey" McGlynn founded the club in 1949.   
    He was from Olympia, Washington.  This first club of      
    the White Collie Fancy was named  "White Collie           
    Breeders' Association".  The purpose of the club was to
         popularize, publicize, and promote improvement in the    
    quality of white Collies.  Mr. McGlynn was editor of        
    the "White Collie Bulletin" until his untimely death in   
    1952. Mr. Harold Marley took over Mr. McGlynn's           
    duties as editor until the late 1950s, when the club was   
    dissolved.

    1960 - 1964
    In an effort to take up where the old club has left off,  
    a group of southern California fanciers reorganized the
    club in 1960.  This club continued for several years,
    until it disbanded, due to too few members (less than      
    fifty) that were scattered across the United States.
     A handful of members worked to keep the club going,
    but the burden was too great and with the declining
    health of club President Charles Tuttle, the club
    dissolved in 1964.

    1972 - August 1996
    In 1972, a white Collie club was reorganized again,       
    under the name of "The White Collie Club of America".   
    Around 1983, the club's name was changed to the            
    American White Collie Association (AWCA), but was      
    changed back due to the American Working Collie           
    Association having the same abbreviation.  Club              
    membership began to dwindle and the club was              
    dissolved due to unresolved controversy.

    September 1996 - 2011
    Once again, a small group of White Collie Fanciers       
    joined together to educate, promote the beautiful white   
    Collie.  This group wanted to educate the public about    
    the myths that surrounded white Collies.  This club        
    was named International White Collie Club, and             
    includes members from all over the world and is the        
    present day club.  

    With the support of all those who love and admire the
    White Collie, the club's goal to educate the public     
    about the White Collie is happening with the work of      
    all of our club members.  

    Our membership consists of owners of White Collies     
    as working Collies, therapy Collies, herding Collies and
    those who are in the performance rings and the
    conformation rings as well as those wonderful Collies that
    do so much to keep us happy each day.  All of them are
    our companions and pets.  Collies can do it all and we
    are very proud of them.
