Congratulations to all of the winners of the 2015 National Specialty! It was wet, cold and windy but the faithful came and showed. I actually think things went very well. Our judges survived their assignments and even seemed to enjoy them despite the bitter cold. We sold sweatshirts, hoodies and umbrellas from our boutique. People stepped up to help move things along and everyone seemed to make the best of it all. Thanks to all who attended, helped and came to socialize and learn.
Junior Handlers at the Specialty
It was my intense pleasure to watch as the judge selected her final nine awards (BOB, BOW, BOS, SD,SB & 4 AOMs) that three of those winners were handled by some very competent Junior Handlers. Congratulations to Caitlyn Jewett for her bitch's BOS as well as Elizabeth Edgerton and Gavin Pugh for their AOMs on their bitches.
Judges's Education
The judge's education at the specialty was very well attended despite the foul weather. Several of our judges' mentors were kept busy with some wonderful questions and discussions through all the regular classes by eight to ten potential greyhound judges. Some even braved the rain and stood out of the tent to watch.
National Specialty Photos
The Greyhound Club of America is so blessed to have talented photographers in our ranks. On of those gifted artists, Lisa Stine, shot many remarkable photos of most of the entrants at the Specialty and at Morris & Essex.
Hatboro KC Results
The disclaimer here is that the Rau Dog Show site is extremely difficult to view results on.
Thank you to all helpers!
I would like to offer the heartfelt thanks of myself, the show chairman and the GCA Board for the incredible number of people, member and non-members who helped out throughout the specialty and the lure coursing despite the inclement weather. It made all the unloading and loading go so quickly and easily and helped the events proceed more smoothly.
