It was my thought that the various clubs that are GSDCA clubs are REgional Specialty clubs, meaning that they specialize in the single breed of GSDs, and hold shows that are different and apart from All Breed Shows. Have I been wrong all these years? When I was showing Moxie in AB shows, I belonged to GSDCA and a GSDCA Specialty club. I was also trialing her and doing herding with her through a couple of local obedience and herding clubs.... was I in the wrong club? I still got my Dual Award hanging here in my office that says GSDCA:-) (a little "WoW" "Really" factor there for Penny <VBG> Storm On Jun 1, 2011, at 1:27 PM, Sally Hayden wrote: > Maybe my idea of a specialty club is different from yours.
