It is the "world" championship trial for Schutzhund only (no conformation of ANY type...German, American, etc). ====================== Well this makes it even more interesting - Why does someone who has OFFICIAL knowledge jump in can clarify some of this Hi All, OK, I'm back. We were only 45 minutes away for our family reunion but we might as well have been in the outback of Australia. We had no internet at all (and not much TV) unless you made a 15 or 20 minute trip to the local library. And I think all of my mail bounced after Aug. 4. It was a wonderful reunion - we had terrific weather - no rain but hot. The place was great. Kids and all enjoyed the pool and trips to Jamestown and Luray Caverns. Big Civil War Night and yours truly had a big birthday celebration. Anyway, re the above - we are hosting the 2013 World Union Trial. Julie is right - no conformation. We put in to host this several years ago because we wanted to do it in conjunction with our Centennial. Our GSDCA National will be first, then the Centennial Celebration, then the WUSV Trials. This is the same event that was hosted by UScA last fall in KY. Tish ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
