About the SSCNC
The Standard Schnauzer Club of Northern California, the Nation's
oldest regional club dedicated to the Standard Schnauzer, has for
66 years sought to protect and advance the interest of the
breed by encouraging sportsmanship among the owners, breeders and
fanciers of the Standard Schnauzer.
Through its Rescue Network and events such as the AKC CGC Program,
Regional "Specialty", and the Annual Christmas Party, the SSCNC
seeks to strengthen the breed by helping build a community of
these wonderful dogs and their human caregivers.
