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 bi-monthly 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 trials, tracking, 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.
