What is a Doberman Club?

A Doberman club usually comprises a group of people who have
been brought together by their common love for a canine – the
Doberman Pinscher. Most clubs are recognized and have been
registered in the regional level. The main aim of any Doberman
club is to provide information. Driven by love and nothing else,
the club members encourage people to adopt Dobes and help new
owners to understand their pets and love them accordingly. So
any club can be looked upon as a large repository of correct and
practical information.

The membership in the Doberman club is open to veterans and
newcomers alike. Many of the members will include people who are
involved in breeding, training and other activities of the
Dobes. Many clubs also sponsor purely social events that give
all Doberman owners a chance to get to know each other and their
dogs. The dogs are also given an opportunity to play and have
fun.

Generally, club meetings are held at least once a month and
sometimes even as often as twice a week. Most club meetings will
include at least one educational lecture or session that aims at
shedding light on one trait or facet of the lovable Dobes.

Social activities that are designed to include dogs are also a
major focus of Doberman clubs. The entire family is usually
invited so that the dogs can have fun in the unfamiliar
surroundings while they are in the midst of the people they
love. Many of these activities are a test of the pet’s training
and obedience skills. Clubs encourage owners to train their pets
and provide valuable information to owners who face some of the
most trying problems with their own dogs. Clubs also provide a
forum for dogs that have become prime stock, by hosting shows
and other competitions where the best dogs are appreciated.

In a nutshell, a Doberman club can be looked upon as a support
center that has all the most relevant information about this
gentle breed of dog. Ranging from shelters, rescue homes,
adoption, training, dietary needs and vaccines to old age,
health problems and the latest treatments, Doberman clubs are
the most valuable storehouses of info.
