The GSDL Working Branch was formed in 2007.
The UK’s only working dog organisation of the time, the British Schutzhund Association (BSA), joined forces with the GSDL in order to comply with WUSV resolutions to encourage the development of the German Shepherd Dog as a true ‘Working Dog’.
Though the GSDL-WDG is primarily engaged with the German Shepherd Dog, other working breeds are encouraged to join, in order to give them a UK ‘gateway’ into the sport of IGP/IPO.
The GSDL Working Branch is at the forefront of IGP sport in the UK, with 40 plus affiliated clubs offering opportunities at all levels starting with beginners, all the way through to National and International competitions.
The GSDL-WDG and affiliated clubs host many trials throughout the year. Qualifications obtained are recognised by the SV, WUSV and FCI.
