I attended the GSDC of North Georgia Match today. While clubs are folding due to lack of members and participation, other clubs are working hard at obtaining their goals. My Kudos to the GSDC of N GA. They have a true interest in the breed and team spirit that will no doubt make them thrive to become a club of the future. At a match today, it was nothing short of fun. The exhibitors were supportive of every junior handler and match entry shown. This fun atmosphere is a perfect example of a few hard working individuals who make things happen. The GSDC of North Georgia is a club dedicated to having fun and getting your dogs out. I would not dare name a few folks who pulled the show off, for fear of forgetting the behind the scenes hard working club members who collectively make things happen. A large grassy ring, great food, a supportive environment, and a fun group of dog people who are focused on making things happen. This club understands that dog shows are about enjoying your dog, everything else will fall into place. Congrats to this young club for sponsoring such a great fun day. Is that not what dog shows are about? In a day and age where clubs are fighting for entries and support, I commend all the dedicated people within local clubs who put their heart and soul into a local effort. These "grass root" campaigns are crucial to the future of our breed. Congratulations to The GSDC of North Georgia for sponsoring a local event and doing this was such sparkle. These events are critical to the future of showing dogs. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2007.
