Love Dobermans? Want to learn more about the breed, or whether it is right for
you? Are you interested in sharing your involvement with others from Northern
California who feel the same way? If that’s the case, the Doberman Pinscher
Club of Northern California may be just what you’re looking for.
The Doberman Pinscher Club of Northern California (DPCNC) is a non-profit,
American Kennel Club recognized, local chapter club of the Doberman Pinscher
Club of America (DPCA). Even though it has members who live throughout the
United States, its assigned locale is the San Francisco Bay Area and surrounding
environs. It has been in existence for many years, holding its first specialty
show way back in 1936. Current club events are gatherings of Doberman fanciers
who want to further the many assets of their dogs; included are conformation
shows and obedience trials, temperament tests, doggie picnics and programs
presenting information on health, behavior, breeding, search and rescue, etc.
Because the members are dedicated to the advancement of the breed, there are
some who are happy to mentor new enthusiasts. If you would like to receive a
complimentary copy of the club’s newsletter and learn how to become a member,
please contact the Membership Secretary. All DPCNC meetings and events are
announced in newsletters and visitors are always welcome.
The clubs objectives are:
to preserve and protect the breed and to do all possible to bring their natural
qualities to perfection
to urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by
the AKC
to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competitions at dog shows, obedience trials, tracking
tests and working aptitude evaluations
to conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows, obedience trials, and
tracking tests under the rules of the AKC and to conduct working aptitude evaluations under the rules of the DPCA.
to support Doberman rescue efforts.
