After 22 hours of driving, it's good to be at home. The National was great fun, from the trip to the beautiful Rocky Mountain National Park, to the last dinner with friends....The show site was wonderful...a huge ring, the "white wall", and well lit stalls that were close to the arena...Thanks so much to the many people who worked so hard to make the National a success.....We weren't able to attend all of the functions, but did enjoy the educational seminar by fertility specialist, Dr. Beverly Brimacomb, and were proud to receive our two ROM pins at the annual meeting....(a pretty big deal for a small breeder!) ........CONGRATULATIONS to our new GV Army and GVX Black Orchid, their breeders and owners, and congrats also to all of the select dogs and bitches!!!! .......To those of you who were not there, our Angelina made it to the last cut....Thank so much to the MANY people who complimented us on her type, movement, and performance..............Another National has come and gone.......We're looking forward to next year, but plan to enjoy the journey with family, friends, and the breed we all adore...the German Shepherd Dog.
