PVSSC

INFORMATION

(PVSSC) is the American Kennel Club (AKC)-recognized Standard Schnauzer Club for the Washington DC area. The PVSSC was formed in 1962 to serve as a regional specialty club for the promotion of the Standard Schnauzer for the Washington Metropolitan area (Northern Virginia and the Maryland suburbs, as well as Washington DC).

Each year, the PVSSC sponsors an AKC sanctioned match and a regional specialty, tattoo clinics, herding tests, lure-coursing, obedience run-throughs, an number of social events, as well as interesting programs at club meetings. Additionally, the PVSSC holds activities to introduce the Standard Schnauzer  to the public, places homeless SS in new homes, provides breed information and puppy referrals. We have a monthly newsletter, the Wiretap, which contains timely information, articles and club notices, and an on-line store selling schnauzer items.
