Last fall one of our favorite gals left Scharo and went to live with new Owners , Les and Cheryl Anderson. This weekend Scharo's Long Hot Summer moved up out of the Novice Class into American Bred and promptly went Reserve under Mr. D.D. Ardoin and the next day went Winners Bitch and Best of Opposite Sex under Ms. Carol Smith. Summer was trained and conditioned by Mary Tripp and aptly shown, as always by Greg Eschette. Many thanks to all the members of the German Shepherd Dog Club of Austin for all their hard work in putting on the shows. I think all the exhibitors certainly enjoy the show site at Royal Crown Academy in Hutto. What was really memorably about this weekend was the large number of children in the ring, showing nice dogs in a very competent manner. These are youngsters that Mary Tripp has been working with for several years and her efforts have certainly paid off. All were attentative, worked hard ALL day, and did VERY well. Hats off to you Mary. I would say that the breed will still be in very good hands in the future.
