Oh wow, I have several of those slate plaques done by Linda Shaw. They are beautiful and look like Americanbred German Shepherds.

She can capture the "look" perfectly. Of course my favorite one is the Best of Breed Quno won from out of the Veterans Class 2 yrs ago. Linda is a great artist.

Thank you so much Birgit for clarifying this. And if you want to see, and hopefully win, one of these beautiful slates.... .............................................................. the GSDC of Northern Ohio's show will be on May 7th, 2005. The judge is Jamie Walker for conformation. We have Obedience and Rally to offer you as well. The judge is Jeff Showman. ( Love that name!) Our web site is listed below Birgit's post and the Show Secretary is Madge Kling at Quelland@xxxxxxxx I have been working with Linda for a few years now and Birgit before me and let me clarify something. You don't have to own or even been around dogs to draw them. It takes the eye of an artist with the talents to carry it through to fruition. When I go to Linda's home and we discuss pictures to be done she has always asked insightful questions and she is immediately draw to the best of what I bring her. She wouldn't know a Standard from a Schnauzer and does not care!

I have been off the list and out of the loop for some time. A few local members told me about posts concerning Linda Shaw, an artist that is working on a GSD illustrated standard and that some people are not happy with her. These people assumed that the discussion was about our friend, Linda Shaw. Please everyone, the Linda Shaw that paints the beautiful slates for the GSDCNO May Specialty trophies is NOT the same person discussed on the list. She has no website; she has never had a show dog of any kind. She is a fine artist who is a good friend to the GSDCNO and PWCCWR. I thought the GSDCA was making up a new illustrated standard on the order of the one from the PWCCA. That book used photographs and what looks to be computer generated illustrations for the written standard.
