Atlanta Doberman Pinscher Club
We thank you for your interest in our family of Georgians who are proud to be owned and loved by their Dobermans!
For well over two decades, the Atlanta Doberman Pinscher Club has strived to fulfill its mission through various activities including two annual specialty shows, temperament testing, and most importantly, periodic meetings where members network and share a wealth of information with each other as well as hear from a spectrum of different speakers on matters of health, nutrition, fun things to do with your dogs, rescue, etc. Our members range from devoted exhibitors and breeders who have made the breed their life's work, to caring pet owners who simply want to enjoy their Doberman to the fullest extent.
