The German Shepherd Dog Club of Rochester, NY was first established in 1956. The club puts on dog shows and matches, brings in outside speakers and programs and provides information for its members and for the public about the German Shepherd Breed, its care and training.
An Official Affiliate of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, the clubs mission is to Protect, Promote and Advance the interest of the German Shepherd Dog. Among the club's objectives are to encourage only breeding which will lead to breed improvement and to do all possible to bring the German Shepherd's physical and mental qualities to perfection.
The members of the club consist of people in the Greater Rochester area who love the breed. Some members are brand-new owners, some have been breeders and exhibitors for thirty years or more; some have many dogs, some just one and some don't have any dogs at the moment. But we all love the breed and are willing to share whatever information and experience we have to encourage others to develop the best in their dogs. Activities are held though out the year and new members are eagerly sought.
