I think that all clubs should offer Veterans and Juniors. There should be no charge to enter either of these classes. The Juniors are important because they are the handlers of tomorrow and the Veterans are important because without them we would not have the dogs that we have today. Trophies and ribbons do not cost that much more for a few extra classes. Any of the GSD soecialty clubs who need financual help need to contact Dean Wylie about Royal Canin support for 2009. I was told that he is in charge of it now. Royal Canin will give the club money, trophies ( coupons for large bags of food, towels, and Royal Canin enclyclopedia's for prizes ). The check that they sent us paid for all our Spring show expenses. it really was a big help.
