GPDFA was founded in 1968 to bring together dog fanciers in the community, for the purpose of encouraging responsible dog ownership and breeding practices among its members and the community. Another purpose of GPDFA is to conduct dog shows, matches, and obedience trials. In 1992 GPDFA became a member club of the American Kennel Club (AKC).
