In order to hold down costs, the GSDCA is relying more on email.  An emailed announcement costs pennies to send.  The same information sent via the US Postal Service costs more than $2,000 - each.

Additionally, emailed announcements are much more timely.  Unless it's VERY, VERY urgent, you will not receive one more than once a week. 

The GSDCA values your membership and wants to keep you informed while being good stewards of your membership dues.

Email address updates should be sent to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

If you're getting emails from the GSDCA, you don't need to read any further.

If you're not getting them, we either don't have the correct email address for you or your email service unsubscribed you (for reasons known only to them).   THE GSDCA CANNOT RESUBSCRIBE YOU TO THE GSDCA EMAIL NEWSLETTER BY FEDERAL LAW.  ONLY YOU CAN.

You can check to see if you're "unsubscribed" (remember, this only applies to people NOT getting the GSDCA emails) by checking this list.

If your email is on this list and you want to get the GSDCA emails, you need to follow these steps:

1. Logon to the website (Your member number is both your username and password).  The latest Review has your membership number on it.  Your membership number stays the same from year to year.
2. Look on the right side below the logon to see a "Resubscribe to Constant Contact" box.  Enter your email address.
3. Check your inbasket for an email from Constant Contact.  Follow the instructions (you basically to click on a link and tell them you are really you).  

The GSDCA Marketing Committee, with the unanimous approval of the GSDCA Board, is pleased to announce the GSDCA Visa Card.

We've partnered with Capital One to launch the German Shepherd Dog Club of America Capital One credit card. This card comes with a competitive rate and supports the GSDCA, so sharing your passion for this breed is easy and automatic. Only available to GSDCA members, the offer is SO GOOD, we can't reveal the terms on the website.  Access the application and find out more about this wonderful opportunity to benefit the breed.

 The opening page of the application explains the complete program and how the breed and the Club benefits.  There is also a FAQ area that should answer any questions you might have.  If it doesn't, click on the Contact Link and email Capital One with your question.

There are 3 GSD designs to choose from.  Pick the one you like and apply now for your very own GSDCA VISA card!

Do you have some old futurity plaques that you'd like to donate back to the Club?

Bruce Gilbert is collecting them and will have them refurbished for reuse. Our 2013 Centennial would be a good time to use the refubished plaques since they're part of the 100 year history of the GSDCA.

The German Shepherd Dog Club of America (GSDCA) is only as successful as its volunteers. Don't depend on "someone else" to make it better.

Do you have an interest in a particular area(s) of the Club such as obedience, herding, agility, rally, WDS, conformation, tracking, therapy, search and rescue?

Can you help the Club by:

• Writing articles?
• Making phone calls?
• Coordinating other volunteers?
• Contacting sponsors?
• Helping a committee chair?
• Asking for trophy donations?
• Helping with advertising?
