Welcome to the United Schutzhund Clubs of America
where our membership is "For the German Shepherd Dog"
Membership Survey
Thanks to all those who stepped up and completed the survey!
We gathered enough data to be very
confident the results reflect our membership. Look for a more complete discussion of the survey in the near future.
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.
Use the links above to learn more about Schutzhund
training, who we are and how you can be involved in this fun and
rewarding sport!

Eberhard Strasser
June 30, 2009
It is with great sadness that I share the following news: the past President of the FCI Working Commission, Eberhard Strasser passed away on June 29 after a long battle with cancer.
Eberhard was a good friend and mentor to many of us here in the United States and throughout the world community of working dog enthusiasts. He judged many times at USA trials back in the late 1970's and early 1980's. He served as the President of the FCI Working Commission for more than ten years before stepping aside to deal with his health issues.
More information will posted as it becomes available.
