Thank you! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's Futurity time and we know everyone is anxious to get your entries in. We appreciate your patience as we finalize the entry system. In the mean time, a few REMINDERS and CHANGES for 2015. REMINDERS: If an exhibitor chooses to enter a dog in two different regions (double entered), both entries are made at the same time, on two separate forms. AN ENTRY FEE IS DUE FOR EACH REGION. The box on each entry "Additional Region Entered" must be filled in with the name of the additional region. Dogs can be shown in only ONE region. FUTURITY entries must have a LITTER NUMBER MATURITY entries must have the NAME OF THE REGION entered in last year. No litter numbers please! ENTRY FEES can be paid by Cash or Check mailed to the show secretary or by Credit Card on the GSDCA website CANADIAN exhibitors must remit in US funds.

Amateur Classes are part of the Regular event. There will still be a Best and Best Opposite Amateur Handled competition at both the Regional and National levels · Dogs/bitches that are owned or bred by a professional handler may be entered in the Amateur classes but may not be exhibited by any professional handler in the class. See the rules for additional information. · ONLY AMATEURS MAY HANDLE IN THE AMATEUR FUTURITY/MATURITY CLASSES and in the Best Amateur competition. · Anyone can handle an Amateur class winner in the regular Winner's classes.
