In 1954, the club became incorporated and was the first GSD club in Washington State to be recognized by AKC. The objects of the Club are to foster and promote the study, ownership, exhibiting, training and breeding of German Shepherd Dogs in accordance with the Official Breed Standard adopted by the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, Inc, and according to American Kennel Club rules. The present membership consists of licensed judges, handlers, breeders, hobbyists, and students of the breed. Any person interested in the above objects of the Club is eligible for membership - whether or not they own a German Shepherd Dog. The club meets at Manhatten Community Center (south of Burien) at 7:00 PM once a month on the first Thursday of each month anyone interested in German Shepherds is welcome to attend. The meetings begin with an educational program, followed by a business meeting. The club s main activities are two specialty shows each year in May which includes conformation, obedience, and rally classes (held at Carco Park in Renton on Mother s Day Week End), a futurity every third year, a sanction match in April, a temperament test in June or July, a herding trial in June, a herding instinct test in September.
