Our Mission

First and foremost, the primary mission of the club is to come to the aid of Dobermans in need. Through our Doberman Rescue program, we focus on dogs within our region, primarily Southern California, but are more than willing to lend a hand elsewhere when necessary. Many members own former rescue dogs and are ready to help when called to action.

Additionally, the club is always ready to engage in educational activities to promote the Doberman breed, their traits, their qualities and their contribution to humanity.

We are recognized as a 501(c)3 charity, which means that all contributions can be tax deductible. To find out more about why this is important click here .

Of course our members are dedicated to the breed and are dog lovers general, and you will find them participating in a variety of canine activities ranging from conformation, agility, obedience, service and therapy.

Naturally, we are biased, but we believe that a Doberman is the best, smartest and most loyal dog there is. Just ask any owner, they will readily agree. This is what brings people from all different walks of life together, a common bond, and that bond is the Doberman. We strive to educate the public about the breed, are are proud of the significant historical contributions the dogs have made* and always promote the positive aspects of the breed.

The club is a chapter member of the Doberman Pinscher Club of America (DPCA) and a licensed club of the American Kennel Club (AKC), and subscribes to the universal objective of providing education, health research, and support of rescue, and the reduction of canine overpopulation for the benefit of everyone. Specifically, to educate the public about Dobermans, their proper care, treatment, breeding, health and to promote responsible pet ownership above all else.

*DPCA has a very nice historical timeline for Dobermans. Click here to view. It is worth the few minutes going through history.

As a chapter club of the DPCA, we sponsored the 50th Golden Jubilee DPCA National Specialty and COnvention in 1975, hosted the DPCA National in 1993 and the 75th Diamond Jubilee in 2000.

The National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA) presented their award for "Outstanding Contributions to Pure Bred Dog Rescue" to our rescue Coordinator, Angie Monteleon and the Aztec Doberman Pinscher Club of San Diego on January 25, 1997.

We received our non-profit status in 2002 through DPCA and take an active role in promoting and educating the public about the importance of animal welfare, cruelty to animals, and actively participate in the rehabilitation and adoption of Dobermans who have been subject to unfortunate conditions and circumstances.

We are a group of dedicated individuals who are Doberman owners, some have been with the club since its inception. Some members are passionate about rescue, some are interested in conformation, while others thrive on agility competition. The interests are diverse, the common bonds are the dogs.
