Thought I'd post this here as well as in showing as lots of GSD lovers don't go to the show section, Really enjoyed the show. Change of judge to Richard Braugh as Gunter Schwedes has had an accident, Both judges spoke good English & gave their own verbal critiques which was good. Not too many failures in courage tests. Also was quite impressed by how many adults in non working classes gaited well off lead. Was interested to see one exhibiter had brought two long coat dogs from Germany for the long coat classes one youth one adult. Was worth his trip as he got first with both of them, Two dogs got VA & 4 bitches.Sieger was also from Germany Quattro v d Partnachklamm who I believe was also the Swiss sieger this year. Bitch Sieger was Veneze Ellie while Gucci was 2nd. Well done to the Cullens as both are bred as well as owned by them. The other two VA bitches are Latifi & van Dorssen's Santana v Arlett & Timman's Romy v d Ramonjayhoeve. I was personally extra pleased at the latter as this very kind Dutch couple had rescued me on the Saturday when I had caught my front bumper & pulled it off, fixing it for me & saving me a long wait for the AA. The only other dog to get VA was the Hall's Gavilles Esko.
