The first DPCA National Specialty show was in 1924 in Philadelphia. Except for three years since 1924, we have held an annual specialty show. Dobermans in all their glory are showcased at the Nationals competing in conformation, obedience, agility, rally, and futurity. The Top 20 dogs in each of conformation, obedience, and agility go head-to-head to determine their Top 20 winner.
Entries come from all over the United States as well as several foreign countries. The show is held in conjunction with the DPCA Annual Meeting and Convention and includes educational programs, special events and festive activities, which take place throughout the week.

Special thanks to John Zalar (RIP 2019) for scanning the old National logos from “The Pipeline”; to Jim Lauver for tirelessly searching and scanning old Dobe magazines for photos of winners; to Cathy Kendrick for submitting many pictures of winners as well.
