As a member of the AOE Committee, I am absolutely thrilled that, at last weekend's GSDCA Board of Directors meeting, it was overwhelmingly voted that Rally Novice remain a qualifying performance title for the prestigious Award of Excellence!!!! Kudos to all those who understood that Rally Novice was a worthy title and voted accordingly. Now, time for everyone to get their stars out there and begin training together in a venue that is fun and satisfying!
