Dog shows, or “conformation” events concentrate on the distinctive features of purebred dogs and help to preserve these characteristics by providing a forum for evaluating breeding stock.

Dobermans are bred and judged against a blueprint established by the Doberman Pinscher Club of America. This blueprint or breed standard captures the ideal vision for everything the Doberman should be – inside and out.

Mt Hood Doberman Pinscher Club has conformation shows in Portland, OR at the Rose City Classic in January and Stumptown in July. We invite your to come out and view some of the finest Dobermans in the country.
