This past weekend, German Shepherd Dogs were back at the big benched show in
San Francisco after 5 years of absence. Several years ago the show club,
Golden Gate KC, moved their date and it conflicted with a local specialty
club's
specialty show date so GSDs could not be shown at the bench show. Thanks to
some hard working club members, the specialty club changed their date so GSDs
could be back at the all breed bench show. In this day of breed restrictions,
several of us felt that our breed really needed to be represented at this show
which draws thousands of spectators. We felt we needed to showcase our breed
and show their true wonderful temperament and personality. The breed was
warmly received this weekend and welcomed back to the show by both the show
giving
club members and the public. Another local GSD club, Diablo Valley GSDC,
shared a breed information table with the local rescue group to also showcase
the
breed with printed information and videos of our dogs doing conformation,
obedience, and herding.
The Golden Gate KC now has separate shows on Sat. and Sun whereas in past
years there was only one show but you were benched both days. Now you only
have
to be benched the day you are showing.
Ch. Rohan's Reward TC, CGC, HT, CD, RA, "Strider", was shown only on Sunday
and went Best of Breed and on to a Group 3 at this prestigious show. Thank you
to judge Keke Kahn for the wins. His daughter, Jezra's C-R Zahara of
Showboat, "Stella, won her 12-18 class and went on to WB, BOW and BOS. Stella
was
also RWB on Saturday.
The wins were great and my thanks to their handler, Art Sinclair, who piloted
them to the wins and to Channing Sheets who took Stella back in for the BOB
competition. And thanks to Tracy Radigan, Strider's trainer and conditioner (&
Stella's co-breeder & co-owner) and to Kathy Estrada who was there to help us
out at ringside and on the bench.
It is a long weekend but something I think is very important for our breed.
Strider and Stella were great ambassadors for the breed and gave thousands of
doggy kisses to thousands of little children and their parents. Stella was
there both days and she did outstanding work in the cleaning of the face
category! For a young dog who is not around small children, we was amazingly
tolerant
of litt sticking their face and hands all over her and then rewarding them
with wet kisses.
Am glad this show is only once a year as it take almost that long to
recover....for me ...not the dogs!
