It is with great pleasure that we welcome all German Shepherd Dog enthusiasts to the GSSCC 2013 Western Region Sieger Show and Breed Survey hosted by the West Coast German Shepherd Schutzhund Club. As we have seen in previous years, it takes countless volunteers and a tremendous amount of work before, during and after any successful regional event. This show would not be a success without our members' participation. We would like to thank each and every person who has taken the time and expense to enter the show. Please take this opportunity to enjoy this wonderful breed of ours, to renew friendships, and to make new friends. Most of all, have fun with your dogs. We would like to extend a warm welcome to our judge, Herr Helmut König (SV).Wishing you all good luck. Enjoy the day. Western Regional Board

The Versitile German Shepherd
Why is the German Shepherd Dog so successful The German shepherd dog is renowned for its versatility and that ability is not an accident. It is a product of a very deliberate strategy. Training - Testing - Certification - Breeding German Shepherd dogs, like people have a variety of personalities and temperament characteristics. Some are the strong silent type, some are loud and obnoxious and others are meek, mild and sensitive and others still are silly, playful and easily distracted. In order to identify the characteristics that are ideal for specific duties they need to be tested in a way that showcases their character and their versatility. German Shepherd dogs are legendary in their ability to work in extreme environmental conditions such as earthquakes, avalanches and risky situations such as war zones. They are able to handle extreme weather conditions, ranging from the desert to the far north. They have the physical and mental toughness to handle adversity and the resolve to overcome confrontation, duress and hardship, even over extended periods of time. Active service dogs may have to respond several times during the course of their regular duty shift and that could require it to apply any or all of those skills. The dog must be able to adapt quickly and confidently to a provocative situation in one instance and then respond to a search and rescue situation without missing a beat or confusing the task at hand. The competitive dog sport of Schutzhund is the temperament testing utilized by German Shepherd breeders. It is the most difficult and
complex of all dog sports. It combines 3 separate phases into one competition. The three phases of tracking, obedience and protection are linked through the concept of control in any situation. The goal of such a complex and challenging venue is to prove and document the versatility, resolve, trainability and mental & physical fitness of the dog. Schutzhund is a competitive testing process that provides a means to identify dogs with desirable qualities of character and physical structure. Once tested the dogs are certified and awarded titles. The certification process identifies dogs with those special characteristics and promotes them into the breeding program.

Clubs & facilitiesClubs & Club groundsWe know that the training of dogs dramatically reduces the incidents of unprovoked bites. The education of owners and dogs is the key to preventing such incidents. Dog Sport clubs and their facilities compliment the widely available public and private professional dog obedience classes and provide an option for those who would like to do more with their dog after learning the basics. Club facilities draw people of a common interest together to share information and knowledge at an affordable price and provide a low cost form of family and personal recreation with the dogs. The clubs are social centers for people to gather and enjoy their common interests in a comfortable setting.Club facilities also provide alternative venues for hosting training, seminars, competitions, shows and numerous other dog related activities. Club facilities help to keep dogs owners from using public play grounds and recreational sports complexes as their training and exercise areas. Club facilities are an important element for building a positive learning environment for everything from basic responsible ownership to the competitive training of dogs. The club structure creates a team environment which contributes to the competition aspect between the various clubs from different communities. German Shepherd Schutzhund Club of Canada member clubs are all registered non-profit societies. The funds to maintain and improve the facilities to organize and to host events are generated from memberships and fund raising events held at the facility.

Respect and Protocol
Creating a positive perception Generally there is a tremendous love affair with dogs in our society. That fascination covers a multitude of breeds and a variety of associated interests. However, we must not forget that there will always be those who don't understand or agree with the training of dogs, or even in having dogs in the community. Some are even afraid of dogs. In particular they are afraid of large breed dogs. It is important that those concerns are respected and reflected in the actions of dog owners. The behavior of a dog owner affects the reputation of all dog owners, dog clubs, dog organizations and the breed they own. How dogs in general, and the dog sport in particular, are viewed by friends, family, peers and the public is dependent on how every individual presents themselves in public and while participating in and around the sport. Clubs have a responsibility to teach their members and to encourage responsible and respectful behavior. The future of the Schutzhund sport in this changing world is also tied to the contribution it makes to society and in conveying the message that the sport is beneficial to the community. That message must be loud, clear and consistent. We all have a vested interest in responsible dog ownership. Dogs and dog owners have to be educated to be good citizens. Working dog clubs and their members must be a big part of the solution.
