CGC Test

The holidays are fast approaching. Are you and your pup ready?

The German Shepherd Dog Club of Washington DC will be hosting a GSDCA temp test in Upperco, MD. There are only a handful of evaluators in the country, and these tests don't happen often. Although geared towards the GSD - all breeds are welcome to test.   For details on what the test entails - click here For premium and event details - click here
