The United Doberman Club (UDC) has a very nice Versatility program to recognize those Dobermans who are versatile companions.  From the UDC website, they say the Versatility program was created to “encourage participation in a wide variety of activities for which the Doberman is suited, and to recognize the trainability and versatility of the Doberman Pinscher.”

I am happy to report that in today’s mail, we received Tyson’s VCX certificate.  He completed the requirements of having at least 10 points in 5 different categories.  The categories he qualified in were: conformation, agility, genetic health, temperament, and other.

I am very proud of Tyson and everything we’ve accomplished together!
