Welcome to the Club!

The German Shepherd Dog Club of Upstate SC is proud to announce that it will be conducting fundraising activities in 2008/2009 to support the Greenville County Sheriff's Department K9 Unit in obtaining equipment for their new training facility!

We look forward to working with the K9 unit in this very worthy endeavor.

The German Shepherd Dog Club of Upstate SC was formed in the Spring of 2005 by a core group of German Shepherd enthusiasts. Over a period of several months, this group worked diligently to prepare a constitution, by-laws, mission statement and obtain our 501(c)3 designation.

Over the intervening years, the membership has grown and the club is active in a variety of areas that meet the interests of all GSD lovers. The club is founded on the principle that we must celebrate ALL aspects of this most versatile of dogs from lounging on the sofa with the remote to the top echelons of conformation, performance and working dogs.

There are a few common denominators for all members of the club - we love our breed, we celebrate its versatility, and we respect differing interpretations of the breed standard and agree that we are all working for that perfect German Shepherd Dog.

Club members run the gamut from conformation enthusiasts to loving pet owners to working police and SAR K9 handlers. We work hard to ensure that there is something for everyone.

The club welcomes all interested German Shepherd enthusiasts as well as those with other breeds looking for a place to train.
