I know we all enjoyed ourselves...and getting the dogs out is a must. Thank You Vicki for a great day. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Thank you Tari for coming and it was a "fun" day and a great experience! This was my training clubs first Puppy Match and my first BIG match to judge!! I was a bit stressed before I went in the ring once I seen the entry lol, but once I was in there and started to do my thing my nerves settled down and the FUN began! I had 13 GS plus 28 other Herding breed dogs. I also judged Jr., Sr. and Adult Herding Group and then Best In Match Junior Puppy! I want to "Thank" the members of GSDC of Northern Ohio for their entries and I made them "work" ha ha!! Oh as a owner/breeder/handler you know what I discovered being on the other side in the ring?........... You CAN just look at the DOGS without looking up the leash <g> YEP IT CAN BE DONE!
