The Working Aptitude Evaluation (WAE) is a test developed and overseen by the DPCA. This testing and certification program is aimed at recognizing those Doberman Pinschers which display the temperament traits desirable in the breed in accordance to the DPCA's breed standard, thus demonstrating the character of a stable companion and resolute protector.

Any AKC registered (including ILP) Doberman Pinschers of an allowable color, 18 months and older, is eligible for testing. Your Doberman must have an AKC or ILP number to register for the test. If you may be interested in entering your Doberman in the WAE, please read the WAE Walk Through document.

We will need approximately 10 volunteers to work at the WAE. To register or volunteer please contact .
