GSD Nationals: 27-29 April [30th April 2012]
****** Fantastic GSD Nationals results *****
Wow!!! Olf, VA6 at his first Nationals! HUGE thanks to his team!
Here is Olfie with Sven and Martin, all the way from Germany.
Coupled with Olf's success of VA6, Olf, Yip and Chippo from our kennel, won special protection awards. This is Yip's third in a row, and Chippo's second, and gauging from Olf's performance, it augurs well for next year's Nationals. A big thanks to Dave Harris and Jehane le Grange for the hard hours in the protection training.
A special thanks all who helped in putting such a successful progeny group together.
Lastly, a big thanks to Aubrey and Tracy, special friends of ours, for the support at the show.
