The work never stops. After trial we come together as a team, set more goals, and push forward. What can we say pressure makes diamonds 💪💎

Our club successfully opened the trial season on June 1, 2024 with judge Mike Karlov and helper Eric Costa.🐕🐕🐕

Despite a small trial (some dogs got sick and did not enter), this trial will be memorable in our club history ❤️❤️❤️ by the first IGP3 title earned by Shaft and Elena and by four brand new handlers with green young dogs earning their BHs after less than a year joining us!!!!!
😍😍😍

Two BHs belong to Red Chinese dogs, Reika and Garcia, owned, trained and handled by Alyse Honnold. This is a great accomplishment for the breed, for her as a breeder and for us to have an honor to be a part of this pioneer journey.
🌎🌎🌎

Another BH belongs to Debbi Meinema and Dancer. Despite multiple setbacks, including broken ankle, Debbi persevered and the team shined on the field.
👍👍👍

The most promising BH title went to Justin France and his promising girl Sasha. Watch out for this team: they dream high, work hard and has developed a beautiful tandem.
🌟🌟🌟

Last but not least, Shaft and Elena have brought IGP3 title to our club with only three years in the making! Shaft has demonstrated beautiful obedience in both OB and Protection parts, clean routines and impeccable engagement and enthusiasm.
👏👏👏

We want to thank all of our members who provided the smooth run of our trial. We are lucky to have you!!!

First day of helpers seminar with Joel Monroe. Some theory and lots of practice. Plus reviewing techniques on videos.

15/05/2024

We just hosted show handling seminar and now we are getting ready for Helpers seminar with amazing Joel Monroe. We know that Joel doesn't need advertising, but so many new people in the sport that don't really know him. Joel is amazing training and trial helper. He runs the club that grow many World and National level competitors and helpers. And he keeps developing more and more. Also Joel is a judge that was working on National events alot. He knows this sport from all sides and is always open to share this knowledge. On top of that he is a great teacher. He explains things the way that even people who are not in the sport can understand them.
This seminar will be covering all aspects of protection training and will be very useful not only for Helpers and people who want to become trial and training Helpers, but also for handlers, because it's very important that handlers understand what is going on with the dog and can help dog and helper from the other side of the leash.
Please, contact us directly if you want to join this seminar.

We want to thank Wilhelm Lipp and Irina Sushko for this weekend. We had such an amazing GSDCA show handling seminar. Everybody learned so much. Was amazing to see how in two days brand new people and dogs progressed and looked completely different on the field.
We have lots of work ahead, but nice to see that we have such talented handles in a club and we will make sure we will develop their talents.

Our GSDCA TOP K-9 club presents a new “German Shepherd” addition to our club disguised as a doberman. All the way from Czech Republic, European K9 Base kennel straight into the arms of Chance!

First day of show handling seminar is over.
Was lots of theory and practice. We started at 9am and finished at 8pm. Everyone is tired but so excited to learn more tomorrow. 💪👍

08/05/2024

It is so important for new people in sport to do routine without a dog.
Alyse is getting ready for BH. 💪👍🤟

Don't miss this great opportunity to learn more about show preparations. It's very important not to only have a beautiful dog but also know how to prepare it for a show and how to present it the best way so a judge would be able to evaluate the dog and give a rating that this dog deserves.

Our club and NW Region of GSDCA SV Program are happy to announce two day SV show handling seminar with GSDCA SV program Breed Warden Wilhelm Lipp.
This seminar will be useful for German Shepherd owners who are going to show their dogs at any WUSV events and also for show handlers (experienced and brand new).
This seminar will be covering everything from show preparation and conditioning, to how to present your dog in the ring and how to do double handling.
For more details, please, contact our page or Brittany Ely directly.
