The club's
prime objectives are to promote responsible dog ownership and to promote the
German Shepherd Dog through education in the many aspects for which the GSD is
renowned.
The club holds
championship specialty shows and licensed obedience trials under the authority
of the Canadian Kennel Club.
The club offers
its members a quarterly newsletter, weekly sessions for dog training and
socialization during the winter, and general meetings with interesting
educational programs.
In addition to
just having fun with their dogs, members participate in activities such as
conformation shows, obedience, tracking, rally, herding, agility and dog walks.
Club members
include pet owners, show and obedience enthusiasts and breeders - all people
who love the German Shepherd breed.
The Ottawa and
Area German Shepherd Dog Club welcomes new members.
