Because of Covid and several other factors, this was the first confirmation show and breed survey we hosted in five years. The show took place on Saturday, September 28, 2024. There was a large entry of nearly 80 dogs. SV Judge and Körmeister (Breed Survey Master) Rainer Mast, who comes from the German town of Laupheim in the province of Baden-Wurttemburg located not too far from Ulm, officiated. Four club dogs participated in the show. Among them were Izabela Raczynski-Bell Ajax in the 12-18 Month Male Class who took home a trophy and Tom Heilwagen's Tucker who showed in the Open Class Males and also took home a trophy. Ray Silvertrust showed two dogs, Astrid in the Working Class Females and Danny in the working Class Males. Both dogs received the V or Vorzuglich Excellent rating. At the breed survey Ray Silvertrust's Astrid von Flusswald obtained her KKL breeding suitability rating.
Herr Mast complimented the Club on a very smooth and well run show. As always, this was the result of many club members working very hard to make it happen. Helping with registration was Izabela Raczynski-Bell and Jason Bell helped with the refreshments, Halina Wirtanen served as our ever efficient ring steward, overseeing trophies, show cards, chip reading and several other necessary tasks. Thanks also to Nick Choukas who was our GSDCA Certified Helper for the breed survey and was praised for his fine work by Herr Mast
