German Shepherd Dog Club of Minneapolis & St. Paul

Events: Showcasing the Versatility of the Breed

The German Shepherd Dog Club of Minneapolis and Saint Paul is committed to promoting the German Shepherd Dog and the future of the breed. The club does so in a variety of ways, beginning with socialization classes for young puppies, offering regular puppy and obedience training classes, and celebrating our members' numerous accomplishments at our Annual Awards Banquet and with brags on Facebook as they compete at all levels of Conformation, Agility, Obedience, Rally, Herding, Scent Work and more. We honor their therapy and service work that benefits our community. Reach out and find out how you can join the fun!

As a regional club of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, we support and encourage exhibiting and participating in events at AKC-recognized shows and matches given by other dog clubs.

We encourage and hold programs that educate and support the German Shepherd dog owner, as well as start newcomers into the sport of dog show exhibiting, and performance trials. In addition, we promote the German Shepherd Dog through promotions, such as benching at the Minnesota State Fair, and holding our own specialty shows and matches, and other events.

As a large club, we have tremendous experience and resources for the German Shepherd enthusiast to participate in and learn from. Lastly, we are committed to the German Shepherd Dog for what he was created to be; a loyal companion and friend.
