Geez Phoenix, I'm just hoping for the CGC. That is quite the list of accomplishments.
I almost always do all breeds, as I refuse to go more than an hour away for a show. Luckily in the Bay Area I can still hit about 10 shows a year. In fact there are about six shows this year within a half hour of my house, including our regional specialty.
Now that the big girl is finished, I'm not sure what we are going to do. We may spay and tack the young one just to not have to deal with it anymore. I'll probably still go to a few shows a year as it good for the club to have "active" members as we are working toward our AKC sanctioning. Probably start the older one in weight pulling this year as well. I am going to brace the two girls next month just for the fun of it. I'm going to special the girl a couple times hoping for a cheap BOB win, as that is the ribbon I still don't have. Damn male dominated sport. [;)]
Yeah, luckily our breed sort of flies under the judges political radar, though the pro handlers still get put up with a lot of regularity. Plus judges don't know how to judge the breed so wins are pretty much a crap shoot anyhow. Last show, both judges that weekend pulled out the standard IN THE MIDDLE of judging. Ugh, at least read it before you get through a couple classes. So we end up with a lot of dogs winning who are not what I consider typey. They may have good movement but they have snipey little heads, a gay tail, and are too small. It is supposed to be a big working breed after all.
Oh well, that will always be a problem in any activity that is judged, just look at the olympics. Except that dog showing is even more political. [:)]
If you are heading up to the Bay Area for any shows shoot me an email. Good luck with your GSD. My sister has a white one, they are beautiful dogs. I could never own one though after watching the documentary War Dogs on Discover Channel. I would be crying every day.
