2008 Rule Changes
USA Director of Judges Mark Przybylski has released the updates for the rules at trials.
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!
