The German Shepherd Dog Club of South Australia Inc (GSDCSA) is a non-profit breed club established in 1945, dedicated to promoting the German Shepherd Dog breed and responsible dog ownership. Affiliated with the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia and DogsSA, the club offers training in obedience, agility, and conformation as part of its membership benefits. With a focus on positive reinforcement techniques, the club’s instructors provide guidance on handling and training techniques for members looking to participate in trials or shows.
Committed to upholding Recommended Breeding Practices, the GSDCSA ensures that all breeders within the club adhere to strict guidelines governing the quality and welfare of breeding stock. By participating in breed schemes such as hip and elbow dysplasia and breed survey schemes, the club aims to provide peace of mind to owners who choose dogs from GSDCSA-approved breeders. As a single-breed club, the GSDCSA accepts only pedigreed German Shepherd dogs for membership, catering to enthusiasts of obedience, agility, and show competitions.
At the forefront of responsible dog ownership, the GSDCSA actively promotes the well-being of the German Shepherd breed within the community. Through its affiliation with the SA Canine Association and membership in the German Shepherd Dog Council of Australia, the club advocates for the protection and preservation of the breed. Whether you are seeking a puppy, a mature dog, or information on shows and trials, the GSDCSA offers a wealth of resources and support for German Shepherd enthusiasts in South Australia.
