Club History

The Elgin County Beagle Club was founded in the year 1950 at the home of George Sherman in Rodney, Ontario in Elgin County. This is where the name originated from. The members who founded the club at this time were Joseph Tiede, Marg Tiede, Archie Steel, Ross Todd, George Sherman, and Clarence Ross. The club held its first Field trials at New Glasgow, Ontario until 1956 when the club moved their events to Forest, then to Dorchester, and Napier.

In 1969 the club purchased eighty-nine acres of land near Appin, Ontario. The club sold shares to the members at this time to meet the cost of buying and developing the land. It was through very hard work and many donations from the members that the clubhouse was build on these grounds. The mortgage was paid off on the property in 1980 and these shares were no longer sold. The beagle club developed a procedure that allowed the members to each get one share when they met the criteria set out by the club. Today, the members are very proud of this club and work very hard to keep it in operation
