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!
Purpose
The Atlanta Doberman Pinscher Club (ADPC) is a non-profit chapter club of the Doberman Pinscher Club of America.
The objectives of the ADPC are:
-
to preserve and protect the Doberman Pinscher Breed and do all possible to bring its natural qualities to perfection.
-
to urge members and breeders to accept the standard of the breed as approved by The American Kennel Club as the only standard of excellence by which Doberman Pinschers shall be judged.
-
to do all in its power to protect and advance the interests of the breed by encouraging sportsmanlike competition at dog shows, obedience trials, and other American Kennel Club approved events.
-
to conduct sanctioned and licensed specialty shows and obedience trials under the rules of The American Kennel Club (AKC).
-
to encourage members and breeders to pursue membership in The Doberman Pinscher Club of America and subscribe to the Code of Ethics of that club.
Club Sponsored Events
The ADPC holds two AKC licensed specialty shows each year. A specialty show is a show where only AKC registered Doberman Pinschers of an allowable color and who are over 6 months of age are exhibited. We also hold a DPCA endorsed Working Evaluation (WAE) every other year. Check the index at the left for further information on these events.
For well over two decades, the Atlanta Doberman Pinscher Club (A.D.P.C.) 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.
