He sure is a handsome boy, and I would love to see him However, I cannot travel. I teach and only have ten days off for the whole school year total. I can't afford to use those going to dog shows, esp. when cold and flu season is high. I also run the church choir, so Friday and Sat shows where I would have to travel long distances in each direction, are not a good idea. And I don't show on Sundays. So my shows are restricted to local or summer shows, and still there are many church events I take part in on those Saturdays. One day I will travel, one day I will make a National. But it probably won't be till I retire, and not within the lifetime of this dog. Denise W.

The vast majority of wins have been in California. As a puppy, he was shown in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana. His first major was won at a Southern California Specialty Show (San Diego) and his second major was won the next weekend, at a Northern California Specialty Show (Sacramento). ALL of his Grand Champion points were attained in California. His Best in Show and Best in Specialty Show, were won in Northern California. We are hoping to add New York and New Jersey to these aforementioned, very satisfying and pleasing, States. (Fingers crossed) We plan to go to Canada next year, aiming for, and hoping to achieve, a Canadian Championship. Harley has been shown at all Nationals since Daytona and his Futurity in Ohio. He finished his HT at the 2008 National Herding Trial in Texas and his PT at the 2009 National Herding Trial in Ohio. We do love to travel. And, we have met so many wonderful, interesting people along the way. I have been a member of the GSDCA since 1976. I bought my first GSD in 1971. 2010 is the VERY best year of my "dog" life, so far!! :-) This weekend he won 2 more Select ribbons at Lompoc, a Central California show. He gave JR his first "Harley" kiss on the way home. I think this team is working out fantastically!! Paula, 71 days and counting - and nuts in California.....................not that there is anything wrong with that!!

I don't believe he has ever been shown outside the state, except maybe Arizona which for us is local. But, everyone knows we in California are nuts anyway.
