San Diego Schutzhund Club
Our
Family Oriented club is dedicated to the development of the TOTAL
German Shepherd Dog and participates in and hosts Schutzhund Trials,
Conformation Shows and Breed Surveys.
Established in 1981, the
Club affiliated with the United Schutzhund Clubs of America (USCA) in
1982. In 1999, a second club was formed under the name San Diego
Schutzhund Club - WDA. This club is associated with the German Shepherd
Club of America - Working Dog Association. Although
separate entities with different memberships, both clubs worked
together to promote the German Shepherd Dog through schutzhund trials,
conformation shows and breed surveys under a joint training program.
One
of the earliest clubs in the southwest, we recently hosted our 45th
schutzhund trial and 17th conformation show. In additional to hosting
several regional events, the San Diego Schutzhund Club hosted the second
USA Sieger Show in 1991 and the 2001 GSDCA-WDA North American Sieger
Show.
Since our first trial, club members have trained over 30
dogs to SchH3 degrees with 23 individuals achieving entrance to the
Schutzhund III club. Other accomplishments by club members include over
80 AD, 75 BH, 60 SchH1, 30 SchH2, 4 IPO3 and 3 FH1 titles.
Club members relax and brag about our dogs at our annual party and the many dinners honoring our judges.
We also take time to socialize with our dogs. A favorite activity is a
Wandertag - a day with our dogs in nature or on a group walk along San
Diego bay, beside the beach or through our local parks.
We
are proud of our accomplishments as a club, and welcome new German
Shepherd Dog owners who desire to join us in our activities.
