On February 14 and 15, the 2011 Westminster Kennel Dog Show took place in New York. Created in 1877, this was the 135th show, making it the oldest purebred dog show. The dogs entered are judged against their breed standard. The doberman has won the Westminster Best In Show four times: 1939, 1952, 1953, 1989.
As usual the Westminster Dog Show attracted PETA, the controversial animal rights group. They protested outside the event, holding signs that read “Breeders Kill Shelter Dogs Chances”. Read More » » »

Unfortunately the doberman breed still suffers a bit of a public relations image problem. It’s getting better but we still have work to do. In an effort to promote well mannered dogs, the Canine Good Citizen Program was created. Passing the canine good citizen test shows your dog’s ability to be well mannered in various situations and your commitment to responsible dog ownership.
Having passed the canine good citizen requirements can have multiple benefits. Certification may be helpful in convincing owners of rental properties to allow your dog in apartments. The CGC test may also be used as a screening tool for therapy dogs or rescue centers. To find a canine good citizen test evaluator contact local dog trainers for the nearest classes. The American Kennel Club offers a list of American CGC evaluators.
