Dutch Spotted Sheep UK (DSSUK) is the recognised, official Breed Society in the UK for the breed. It is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) governed by a Constitution and has DEFRA, Scot Gov, DEARA and NSA approval. The Society was formed in 2016, to bring together like-minded breeders and enthusiasts and to provide a professionally run body to organise pedigree registrations, a flock register and to promote the sheep through education, shows and events.
