THIS is the way of the future for our Specialty shows as far as I'm concerned.
CLUSTERS of Specialties so we can quit driving up and down the States for
smaller ones 2 and 3 weeks apart that barely pull a major or drop the major!
All Breed Clubs have known this for years!!
<G>
A lot of work.......but when you are done......you are DONE for that year.
Same with those entering.......ONE weekend instead of two!! A BIG
weekend....but
ONE weekend ......and one trip. ( i.e., gas, motels, miles, handlers
motels.....etc. )
GOOD LUCK with the shows!!

You are correct, the GSDCA does allow a specialty club to hold a show in
their name, our Kansas City club did just that and next weekend is our show and
we have a 5 point major all 3 days!
As a club we had to decide what direction to take, we were loosing money at
our shows and the entries were getting smaller each year. So one option was to
have our shows with a local All Breed Club. It works great if the All Breed
Club is open to suggestions of judges and size of rings, but that is not always
guaranteed. Then we found out about being able to have an additional show from
the Parent Club. We immediately inquired and came up with having 3 shows in two
days. There are pros and cons, but we are thrilled with having a 5 point show
and for our club, this is a great opportunity where we still have the control
of judges, ring size and location of the show.
Hopefully more Regional Clubs will take advantage of this in the future.

I totally agree with both posts below.....but not understanding the
criticism.....???
Many of us have more than a few Champions that have won in both rings....and
many
have a title on both sides of their names.....but still just A FEW of them
qualify for The
Parade of Greats and I think that is fine.
The qualifications are very specific and are listed in the Policy And
Procedure manual.
Easy enough to look up.... and work towards....and that is a good thing I
think. A higher
goal to work for.
What I am not getting in any of this is exactly WHAT the Parent Club itself
is doing wrong
to everyone that makes these comments about excluding and not reaching out to
dogs that
are exhibited in the All Breed ring? I know of NO system where that resume is
checked
before entering the National??
The National Brochure and Premium List goes out to every single member of the
Parent Club.
There is absolutely NOTHING that prevents anyone ( even NON Members ) from
entering
the National competition in any and every venue that one chooses....
IF one chooses.
The Parade Of Greats is a showcase for those that have achieved some of the
requirements
of a higher level of Conformation or Performance competition and titles
within the National
competition....with the exception of a few like R.O.M. and SchH111...etc.
For this showcase.....the titles are either there.......or they are not. No
one checks to see which
venue the dog is shown in!
Also I thought the Parent Club is also allowing many Clubs to have a Regional
Specialty Show
in conjunction with their own shows.....if a Club chooses to apply??

An EXCELLENT POST is worth repeating. (See below and read slowly.)
Kudos Gene. I too believe that GSDs should be able to compete in BOTH
rings. What a refreshing idea: Showing dogs is about the dogs, NOT AN
ELITE GROUP OF PEOPLE. Clap, clap, take a bow!!

I agree with Sally on this issue. With some of the responses to her I
can see why the parent club is having problems increasing its
membership. The GSDCA is for all German Shepherds in conformation,
obedience, rally, herding, tracking and agility. Many of these have
obtained multiple titles and some of them were at All Breed Shows. We,
at Falkrigia Shepherds, have finished more than twenty Champions in
both the Specialty and All Breed rings plus over 40 performance titles.
One from our Breeding was High in Trial at the 1992 National - a run
off against an OTCH- for his 1st Leg.
In my opinion all German Shepherds should be able to compete in both
the Specialty and All Breed Ring. I realize that many in the breed
would never lower themselves to show in an All Breed Ring.
Until the parent club starts reaching out to those who choose to show
their German Shepherds in the All Breed Ring our membership will
continue to evaporate. Look around at a Specialty Show sometime at the
age of those who are competing. The vast majority are Medicare age.
The parent club needs to exert more effort in supporting Regional
Clubs. Many of these clubs do Supporting Entries for their local All
Breed Clubs
and in turn receive help when they have a Specialty Show. Our Augusta
German Shepherd Dog Club has All Breed Obedience and Rally at our
Specialty Shows and Augusta All Breed Club Members volunteer as Ring
Stewards, and in other areas.
We must remember that our National is ALL ABOUT THE DOGS and not a
Social Event for the elite of the breed. With this in mind we should
start selecting sites that best fit the needs of the dogs - Perry, GA,
Purina in St Louis and Denver for example.
This is my opinion after 20 years in the Breed. Gene
