Dog Shows files include all records, objects, and visual materials related to Doberman Pinscher specialty dog shows, mainly the DPCA's annual National Specialty shows although there is a small amount of Chapter Club Specialty show photographs and video footage. Records created in show planning, guest registers, Premium Lists, and Catalogs are included, as well as photographs (win shots and candids), scrapbooks, and video footage of shows. In addition, representative objects and ephemera, such as trophies, medallions, pins, and show logos evidence the achievements of Doberman Pinschers in the show ring. Finally, there are a small amount of international Doberman Pinscher show catalogs.

Some National Specialty records are restricted and cannot be accessed due to the presence of inactive mold on the records. See the archivist for details.
