Shows & Events - Doberman Pinscher Club of Northern California

The Doberman Pinscher Club of Northern California (DPCNC) has put on Specialties and Obedience trials since its founding in 1936.

A Specialty is a dog show that only has Doberman Pinscher entries. Our shows are currently held at the Solano County Fairgrounds (900 Fairgrounds Dr., Vallejo, California). The shows are held each year in the middle of May in conjunction with Coyote Hills Kennel Club shows.

These shows are held for the primary purpose of promoting our breed and having a great venue for Doberman fanciers to gather together. There is always a great pot luck during lunch and a raffle to beat all raffles. A portion of the profits from our show and raffle are donated to health and rescue efforts for our breed.

Join DPCNC for Fun in the Sun! Back-to-Back Specialties! Majors! Majors! Majors!
