The German Shepherd Dog Club of Austin had a great fun match today. We had an abundance of Kids from 7 years and up. As we ran out of handlers, we just grabbed the next kid and sent them into the ring. Trevor and Mason were holding junior training before during and after the show. The kids were amazing. Several of them looked like they had been doing it for a long time. Due to high gusting winds, we had to use the kids as the "posts" to hold the rally cards. Due to a snafu with the trailer, we had to make the cards for the rally demonstration - very late night - Mary Golden had not had the time to lay out the full course so the boy with the left turn would hold up the sign until the dog and handler had passed and then ran down to the next left turn and finally the third. Even Carol Moore's grandson Conner was a "post" and held still for the whole time. It was great fun and there was a lot of good humored ribbing going on. Thanks to our judge Lyn Goswick on her first judging assignment. Texas may have some more top notch Juniors coming up!
