DANUBIUS CLUB

Danubius Club is a 501(c) non-profit organization that is a full member Club of the United Schutzhund Clubs of America (USCA).  The USCA is dedicated to the welfare and betterment of the German Shepherd Dog.  As a member of the WUSV (World Union of German Shepherd Dog Clubs) the USCA provides enthusiasts a framework for activities in the United States patterned after those available to the world-wide GSD community.  USCA member clubs host IGP trials, IGP training seminars, conformation shows and breed surveys in keeping with the Total Dog Concept.  This concept supports a dog that conforms to the breed standard and is also proficient in working skills, such as herding, tracking, obedience, or protection.  Since the German Shepherd Dog was intended to be a working dog, our IGP dog sport club activities are designed to preserve the necessary genetic vigor and characteristics of the breed.
