Shows

The German Shepherd Dog Club and its shows and trials is proudly sponsored by Masterfoods Pet Care. This has been a very successful partnership for over 8 years. The club conducts one Championship Show and one Open show during the year. We also conduct the annual State Breed Assessment in mid September each year where breeders and exhibitors have the opportunity to have their dogs assessed, graded and promoted based on their respective bloodlines.

The Championship show is normally held on the second weekend of July of each year and the Open Show is usually held in February each year an. Every five years the GSDCQ Inc hosts the National Show on behalf of the National Council. This show is conducted once a year within Australia and each year it is held in a different state.

The National Show attracts exhibitors from all states of Australia and New Zealand. The show often includes visitors from other countries who make it part of their Australian holiday. All shows are held at the Canine Control Council show grounds, King Avenue, Durack.

Breed Surveys 

The Club also holds approximately three Breed Surveys a year at Durack and two in regional areas as required. The object of the Survey is to promote and offer guidance for the uniform development of the German Shepherd Dog Breed and to improve its inherent working qualities. Dogs and bitches shall be awarded classification in either Breed Survey Class 1 or Breed Survey Class 11 if it is expected that they will contribute to the overall improvement of the breed in Australia. The following Basic Criteria are assessed during Survey - Measurements, Teeth, Testicles, Character & Temperament, Gun Test, ‘A’ stamp for Hips, ‘Z’ Stamp for Elbows, Tattoo Verification.

Show Training

The GSDCQ Inc. holds show training each Wednesday night at the Canine Control Grounds in King Avenue Durack. Starting at 7:30pm with puppy classes. Your puppy must be over 3 (calendar) months and have been fully vaccinated to start training. Adult classes commence after a short break from the puppy class. Training classes including ring craft, handling tips and parts of the Breed Survey including gun testing, crowd testing and measuring. Training costs $4.00 per handler/owner to cover cost of lights.

Classes are not restricted to these options and may include any other ideas to help you and your dog become a well-trained team who are fit for the show ring under all conditions.

The duration of each class depends on the amount of animals for training on the night. Members of the club are also encouraged to come along and socialize their puppies/adults, enjoy a chat. Tea and coffee, limited soft drinks are available at small cost. Visitors are welcome to attend.
