Kathy, this post brought tears to my eyes, thank you.. This was certainly a humbling email to be posted on behalf of our club. We are honored beyond words. Our club would like to thank each and every one of you attending the show. The fun stories from this show will be told for a long time. Our entire club work hard to put on a good show but the magic making it successful was everyone who was there. Congratulations again to Bob & Charlotte Funk on their GVX. What a thrill it was to see her work her stuff. A big Yahoo for our Arizona Grand Victrix. A big congratulations to all the winners at the show from our entire club. We hope you will join us again for our Spring Specialty April 13, 14, 15, 2012. Kathy we will be looking for Hunter and that breath-taking sable boy.

The shows of the GSDC of Southern Az, which this weekend, also Incorporated the GSDCA Specialty on Friday.... are a 'MUST ATTEND" if you are able. On the practical side, it is as close to an ideal site as you are lucky to have. The parking is excellent, the rooms are only a few feet from the ring. The rooms are decent and the staff, pleasant and very helpful and understanding of "dog people" lol There is LOTS of shade, there are easy access bathing and drying (thank you club). It it a relaxed environment.... and the food at the hotel is pretty darn good, including the daily complimentary breakfast. Now on to the good stuff. This club, it's Officers, Board and Members work their butts off to ensure everything runs smoothly and their exhibitors are treated well and have any needs or issues met , quickly and completely. The GSDC of So. Az, really goes out of it's way to make it FUN, FRIENDLY, AND RELAXING. They provide a Hospitality Room, for the a.m....ahhhhhh coffee, and donuts, if the hotel breakfast doesn't work for you. This weekend, I don't think we could have found a more accommodating, kinder group of people. TO EVERYONE IN THE GSDCA OF SO AZ....we thank you!!! Now this weekend was especially nice as we were able to celebrate the NEW GRAND VICTRIX , with our Brother, Bill.. and her tremendous owners. After the show..GVX "Corey" took two laps around the ring, with her great handler Bill :-) to absolutely WILD APPLAUSE.. from everyone at the show. MAN SHE LOOKS AWESOME. and what a thrill to see her going around that ring! Bob and Charlotte are just the greatest...and Charlotte worked her little butt off, for the after show party, to which EVERYONE was invited. Great food, great beverages....TERRIFIC PEOPLE. It was wonderful to see and talk to Frank Fasano, and Kris who, bless her heart FINALLY managed to get a flight in...not sure about her luggage, though..ugh. Lenny B was there, and we chatted with him , into the wee hours of the morning..something which dog people used to do all the time, and this felt like the "good ole days". Lenny is the best, seriously. We saw and talked with a very talented young man, Zac Hudspeth (sorry if I have misspelled)..this guy is one to watch for, and is a natural talent , with a soft hand and LOOONG legs in the ring. Oh and did I mention very humble and a real class act , to boot? We saw friendship, and camaraderie, and fellowship . We all cheered at the GVX video playing on the monitor, and it was FUN, AND JOYOUS, AND EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME. Thank you to Bob and Charlotte, Kris and Frank and to all that hosted this terrific gathering. Everywhere you looked there were smiles, and the sound of laughter and GREAT times, in the room. THIS IS DOGSHOWING...GREAT TIMES, TREMENDOUS PEOPLE...AND REAL SPORTSMANSHIP, AND FRIENDSHIP, AND LAUGHTER. THANK YOU AGAIN TO ALL IN GSDC OF SO ARIZONA...AND TO BOB, CHARLOTTE, KRIS AND FRANK... It was truly wonderful. Kathy, Ken and Hunter ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
