Meet Your New Dog

Welcome to Meet the German Shepherd. Whether you're a long-time German Shepherd Dog owner, or you've just gotten your first puppy, we wish you a lifetime of happiness and enjoyment with your new pet.

In this book, you’ll learn about the history of the breed, receive tips on feeding, grooming and training, and learn about all the fun you can have with your dog. The American Kennel Club and I-5 Press hope that this book serves as a useful guide on the lifelong journey you’ll take with your canine companion.

Owned and cherished by millions across America, German Shepherds make wonderful companions and also enjoy taking part in a variety of dog sports, including Conformation (dog shows), Obedience, Rally^®, and Agility.

Thousands of GSDs have also earned the AKC Canine Good Citizen^® certification by demonstrating their good manners at home and in the community. We hope that you and your German Shepherd will become involved in AKC events, too! Learn how to get involved www.akc.org/events, or find a training club in your area at www.akc.org/events/trainingclubs.cfm.

We encourage you to connect with other German Shepherd owners on the AKC website (www.akc.org), Facebook (www.facebook.com/americankennelclub) and Twitter (@akcdoglovers). Also visit the website for the German Shepherd Dog Club of America (www.gsdca.org) the national parent club for the German Shepherd, to learn about the breed from reputable exhibitors and breeders.

Enjoy German Shepherd!

Sincerely,

Dennis B. Sprung

AKC President and CEO
