Winnnipeg Working Dog Club- In existence since 1990, training, primarily German Shepherd Dogs, in Schutzhund (IGP) - from all levels, begginer to World championship.
Schutzhund (German for protection dog) is a sport that was developed in Germany in the early 1900's as a breed suitability test for German Shepherd Dogs.. The test would determine if the dog displayed the appropriate traits and characteristics of a proper working German Shepherd Dog.
Today, it is used as a sport where many breeds, other than German Shepherd Dogs can compete, but it is a demanding test for any dog.
This working dog sport offers an opportunity for dog owners to train their dog and compete with each other for recognition of both the handler's ability to train and the dog's ability to perform as required. It is a sport enjoyed by persons of varied professions, who join togetherand in camaraderie born of their common interest in working with their dogs. Persons of all ages and conditions of life even those with signifigant disabilities enjoy Schutzhund as a sport.
