WTG Val!!!!!!! Good to see someone that works in all facets of the GSD. As well as someone that works their butt off at the National. For what it is worth I give you my personal Blue Ribbon. YOU GO GIRL. For you that don't know Val. She has been the one making all those nice stall signs for the stalls at the National. It is people like her, working behind the scene that make the National work. One of the unsung heros Bob -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Val Manning Sent: Monday, February 20, 2012 3:48 PM To: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] The power of adrenilin and advils This past weekend marked the official beginning of the 2012 dog show season for those of us in the Rocky Mountain region. On the heels of Westminster - Plum Creek and Colorado Kennel Clubs work tirelessly to bring some of the glamour of the Garden to Denver in the form of the Rocky Mountain Cluster shows. With specialty and group shows on Thursday - they present 5 days of exhibition to 15 rings and lots of special attractions that include weight pull, earth dog and fly ball demos as well as Meet the Breeds and breed seminars. This year, there was a great number of exceptional dogs that competed for the accolades that accompany being selected as the best of the best. I was fortunate to have one of our own GSD specialists - Dr. Carmen Battaglia select my bitch Terra Norte's Pastoria of Oz "Torre" (Terra Norte's Colin Powell x Terra Norte's Glinda v Homar) as winners bitch and best of winners on Saturday for a 4 pt. major from the American Bred class, owner handled. Special thanks to everyone ringside who were so generous with your support and good wishes. What a great way to start the 2012 show season! ~ Val.
