We celebrated a couple of birthdays on Wednesday. Kevin was 25, and Tom was 65. I made a chocolate cake. Our handling class director, Barbara Friedman, is still in rehab following a car accident. So the club members are stepping up to fill in. Tom Dowell and Kyllian Genzmer are not club members, but volunteerContinue reading “Virginia Kennel Club handling class”

Out and about
At 6 months of age, Roz and Daphne go out into the community frequently to maintain their good social skills. The Virginia Kennel Club (of which I am a member) has conformation handling classes on Wednesday evenings at the Zoom Room in Short Pump.

Best GSD show pics ever!
Well, of my dogs, anyway! Just got these pics, and I can’t believe how pretty they look in these professional photos done by David Sombach at the Virginia Kennel Club show on June 25, 2023. https://davidsombachphotos.shootproof.com/ https://thevirginiakennelclub.com/ Clyde and See See need one more major win to become Champions under AKC rules. There are twoContinue reading “Best GSD show pics ever!”
Yet another GSD ear taping
This 4m old male GSD puppy has flying nun ears, and they were developing a crease on the inside. I advised taping them. With his owner’s assistance, I taped them up, and he adjusted beautifully. Patricia will monitor them daily, checking for the slightest sign of inflammation or infection. Thank you to Virginia Kennel ClubContinue reading “Yet another GSD ear taping”
VKC dog class, last night
It was a small class because the Fishersville shows are this weekend, and people are bathing, grooming, and loading up. I’ve got See See, Liz has Clyde, and Ashley has her dog. Thank you Michael for shooting the video!
The T pattern in conformation at Virginia Kennel Club class
The T pattern is rarely seen anymore in the AKC ring. But, ya gotta be prepared for anything the judge throws at ya. Thank you Bob, for “judging” this nearly all GSD class, even though you are a sporting dog judge. Thank you Michael, for shooting the video.
Clyde in dog class
Virginia Kennel Club had weekly dog class this evening. Clyde was a good boy.
Clyde and See See at dog class
We went to dog class again with the Virginia Kennel Club in Goochland. Liz, one of the members of the club, handled See See for me while I handled Clyde. The dogs do not look their best here, but I was pleased that Clyde was focused on me even with See See right behind. AndContinue reading “Clyde and See See at dog class”
Virginia Kennel Club dog handling class, featuring Clyde and See See
Thank you Michael, for taking these pics at class tonight. Michael has a German Shepherd too, so he knows how to get the right pose, picture, and video.
Clyde at dog class
Thank you Michael for shooting this great pic and your efforts with video. I could not get the Clyde videos to load! It’s such a small room that it’s hard to gait a German Shepherd and make it look as good as Michael did. I did want to post it, because he looks so relaxedContinue reading “Clyde at dog class”
