The Canadian show is beginning to look similar to the shows that were a few years ago. Performance test was a good test. I have a couple videos I'll put on youtube in a couple days. There's a bit of a twist this year. The pattern that developed in the US has made it's way to Canada. Those that put the effort into their dogs were rewarded. I'm speaking mainly of the working male class.
Here's how the class shaped up. Lots of quality entered. Off the top of my head, V28ish, SG22, SG24, SG56ish World Universal Sieger Champion to give you an idea. There were 4 trophies given in the class. 22 entries with 15 in the ring. Normally 2 VA in a class that size, the judge went three. Here's where the work pays off. Three progeny groups and a the Wold Universal Sieger made the top 4. Those that put the work into their dogs were given the second look.
I've discussed this before and mentioned it in the WDA NASS article written last year. The GSD world needs to follow the SV example and it's beginning to take hold. Supporting a male, developing a group, getting people involved are essential for the growth of the sport and provides the necessary support for the organizations.
Back to the show. Bobo Arlett.ca was 6 years old. He presented an excellent group. Performance test was excellent. He looked great and was the well deserved sieger.
The judge had a seminar about the Universal Sieger concept during the show. It's evident from her breeding program and her presentation the Universal dog is high on her list. Zambo was there to represent the Universal Concept. Performance was excellent as expected. Zambo is basically Erin's first dog. Her journey is much like Ravi's with Juneau. Another excellent example of what you can accomplish with your dog. Another VA rating for Zambo finishing VA2.
Winn Amalaberg placed VA3. He presented a large group and had an excellent performance test doing the routine off leash from start to finish. George and his team presented two kennel groups. There's a lot of effort surrounding Winn, it's a great example of how people can come together and find success.
Waiko Schaumbergerland grabbed the last trophy. He presented a sable only group of 7 from 4 litters and 3 different kennels. It was a young group with 6 in the 6 to 9 class and a 3 month old puppy. Not the best time to show a group but there were bits and pieces of what he can produce on display. Look for him to be represented in force at the NASS.
Fifth place went to Heidi's male handled by Melanie Rupp. He was a great moving dog with a powerful head. He placed in front of some stiff competition.
Handlers were mostly local and the few German Handlers were placed throughout the class. The dogs were placed where they deserved to be placed as they were shown throughout the classes. Judging was consistent and it appeared that the dog's temperament had an effect on it's place in the ring.
The Canadian show is usually an offshoot of the trial. The VA trophies were usually the size of the third place SchH1 trophy. My Canadian VA2 trophies are about the size of my 3rd place 4-6 month old USA puppy trophies. his year was different. The trophies were beautiful. Real bronze castings you would be proud to display. The club did a great job putting the event together. I look forward to next years event.
