In order to enter and compete in GSDCA-WDA events all German Shepherd Dogs over 12 months of age must have tattoo or microchip identification. German Shepherd Dogs that were born in the USA on or after January 1st, 2005, must have their tattoo number or microchip certified on their original 4-generation AKC pedigree. Three-generation AKC pedigrees for German Shepherd Dogs born prior to January 1st, 2005 will continue to be accepted for certification and for entry into GSDCA-WDA events. AKC pedigrees that have been tattoo or microchip certified by USCA will be accepted at all GSDCA-WDA events provided they meet the 3 or 4-generation requirement above.

You must mail copies of the dog’s registration, pedigree and other applicable documents together with your check payment or money order and your signed entry form on or before the above dates. The original documents must be presented to the trial/show secretary at check-in.
