As many of you noticed about a year ago, GSDCA.org changed itâ??s events search to one that links to AKC.org. This means that as soon as a Club applies for an event, it appears in the search, even before itâ??s approved. We felt this would give the GSD community a better, more accurate search capability for upcoming shows. The AKC search now is very powerful, allowing date and state filtering as well as searching by event type (conformation, tracking, performance, etc.) The one thing people kept asking for was to be able to filter for Specialty shows. ITâ??S HERE! Thanks to Dr. Charles Kneifel and his programming staff at the AKC, that option has been added under the â??Conformationâ?? tab! The link to Events Search can be found on GSDCA.org under the â??Eventsâ?? menu (â??Search for Eventsâ??) or by clicking on the link on the home page under the â??Quick Linksâ?? box. Click on the â??Conformationâ?? tab and then click on the line of blue text that reads â??View Additional Search Optionsâ?? followed by a blue arrow. That will open a new area with options to include shows with Junior Showmanship (yes or no), a time frame of 3, 6, or 12 months, and whether to include only â??All Breedâ?? shows, â??Specialtyâ?? shows, or â??Bothâ??. Many thanks to the AKC! Pam ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
