We are dedicated to protecting and
preserving the German Shepherd Dog's working heritage through Schutzhund
training. Schutzhund is a sport that focuses on developing and evaluating
those traits in dogs that make them more useful and happier companions to
their owners.
The purpose of Schutzhund is to demonstrate the dog's intelligence and
utility. It also measures the dog's mental stability, endurance, structural
efficiencies, ability to scent, willingness to work, courage, and
trainability.
This working dog sport offers an
opportunity for dog owners to train their dog and compete with each other for
recognition of both the handler's ability to train and the dog's ability to
perform as required. It is a sport enjoyed by persons of varied professions,
who join together in a camaraderie born of their common interest in working
with their dogs. Persons of all ages and conditions of life including those
with significant disabilities enjoy Schutzhund as a sport. Often, it is a
family sport.
