In 1991 the Working Riesenschnauzer Federation was organized by a group of people interested in the welfare and working ability of the breed commonly referred to as the Giant Schnauzer in the United States. The founding members of the Club understood that the Riesenschnauzer had a long history of training and working alongside humans as a companion, an assisant or even a protector when necessary.

The WRSF promotes responsible ownership, training and breeding of the Riesenschnauzer by hosting events and activities that bring people together in the spirit of education and competition. The core ideas of the organization are to recognize and support the development of the breed as it is described in it's country of origin, Germany.

Today, the Internet and advanced technology have made information available that only a few years ago would have required an exhaustive search through books, postal services and hours on the telephone.
