We hold two specialty shows each year. Our Spring Specialty Show is held on Memorial Day weekend at Northern Virginia site in conjunction with the German Shepherd Dog Club of Northern Virginia, which holds its Specialty and Obedience Trial. Our Fall Specialty Show is held at the KOA Campgrounds on General Booth Boulevard, Virginia Beach, Va., usually the first week in December. This show is also in conjunction with the German Shepherd Dog Club of Northern Virginia. We are always looking for better facilities to hold our events so make sure you contact a club member or officer for exact dates, times and locations. If you have any suggestions for new locations, please let us know.

We have a Library with books, brochures and periodical publications available to club members.
