According to my records and subject to AKC confirmation, Harley is now a Grand Champion. A few people at the show today said that they think he may be the first GSD to achieve the title. If anyone knows of another GSD to have attained the title as of 6/12/10, please let me know. Thanks to Helen Gleason, Michele Chaloux, and Diane Silver-Strasser for Harley's three majors, and to Beverly Capstick, Prof. Douglas C. Taylor, William G. Daugherty, Cathy H. Daugherty, Harriett W. Campbell, Alice Inman, Helen Lee James, Minna-Liisa Koltes, and Don Willett, Jr., for the other 13 minor points. Thanks to Harley's co-owners, the Sedgewick's and the Ginsburg's, for their support. And, very special thanks to Harley's handler/agent, JR Alcantara, for his skill, strategy, and belief in this very special dog. This is quite a ride we are on, eh?
