Thank you to our trial manager, Jeanne, for keeping everything well oiled and smoothly run. You make an excellent Boss!

Thank you to our track layers, Frank and Jeff, for showing up bright and early and walking straight lines despite all the smoke that rolled in!

Thank you, Jeff, for the safe and consistent catches for all the IGP dogs.

As always, a huge shoutout to the club for making sure the food is organized and cooked, so the starving masses can be fed in an efficient and timely manner. Everyone who pitched in to bring food or make food beforehand did a fabulous job putting out a delicious lunch and supper.

A successful weekend for Prairie Storm at the West Coast German Shepherd Schutzhund Club trial and Regional Show. Chantal and her new dog Rambo earned their BH and SG1 in the show. Frank and his new dog Warrior earned their IGP 1 and completed their breed survey as did Lindsey and her dog Buddy aka “Special Ed” who were also SG in the working class. Pete and Raef also passed their IGP1. Joanne and Jake showed well in IGP1 tracking and obedience but Jake decided this was not a day a let go of the helper so no New IGP 1 for them but did get their show rating. Sue and Axel had a bit too much fun in the UPr1 but managed SG2 in the show. We will get that control stuff sorted over the winter. Jeanne and money achieved G1 in the show and Monika and Ember were SG in the show and also completed their breed survey. All told one BH, 3 new IGP titles, 6 show ratings and 3 breed surveys. Not bad for last trial of the year.
Thanks to our great sport friends at WCGSSC for a super event and their continued support of our group. Food and atmosphere were first rate as usual. Thanks also to judge Daniele Strazzeri for his excellent judging and making everyone, especially our less experienced handlers, feel so comfortable. We look forward to seeing you again.
