UDC Conformation Show and Breed Survey 2026

[FrauDoberman]

Hello everyone! Old North State Working Doberman club is having a UDC conformation show and Breed Survey on June 27-28th. The conformation show will be in Durham NC on Saturday and the Breed Survey on Sunday in Roxboro NC. This is a great opportunity for folks to show their Dobermans in an FCI style conformation show. Judges give both a written and verbal critique against the standard, so great opportunity to learn!

While any AKC or FCI registered Doberman may enter a UDC temperament test and conformation show, to finalize the requirements for a UDC Conformation Champion a dog must be UDC registered (have a scorebook), earn three Challenge Certificates (CCs) under at least two different judges, pass the adult UDC temperament test, and earn a performance title such as an IGP BH-VT or AKC CD.

Additionally the UDC Breed Survey will be offered. The UDC Breed Survey is an in-depth assessment of the Doberman's conformation, character, and health. The evaluation is modeled after the German ZTP (Zuchttauglichkeitsprüfung or breeding suitability test). The UDC offers two Breed Survey designations: Breed Survey Basic (BSB) and Breed Survey Advanced (BSA). The BSB is for untrained dogs and is similar to the WAE with a hidden attacker but no grip on the part of the dog. The BSA is for dogs trained in bitework and must engage the the attacker, ie bite the sleeve and out on command.

For more information about the shows, the show premium, rules, and online entries, please visit our website. Happy to answer any questions folks may have!

Thanks for posting this! I'm a long way from NC but I'm sure we have a few members in that area who might be interested.
