Transformational Puppy Rearing 1:00 to 4:00 pm Crockett Amphitheater
By member request, Gayle Watkins PhD. joins us this year to present her Transformation Puppy Rearing seminar. This seminar is not just for breeders, as anyone that has or plans to add a puppy to their home will find helpful tips for successfully raising a puppy. Gayle is Head of Education at Good Dog. As the Head of Education at Good Dog, her goal is to empower dog breeders and owners so they
can bring out the best in every dog and puppy, and improve the health and happiness of generations of dogs to come. Gayle is a natural fit with Good Dog’s mission to build a better world for our dogs and the people who love them. Many of you may know Gayle from the company she started, Avidog. The Generation Forward Committee is hosting this seminar. Please join us at this exciting seminar.
The Doberman Pinscher Breed Standard 9:00 to 11:00 am Crockett Amphitheater
The standard is where it all starts! And Seminar Day always kicks off with Bob Vandiver's presentation on the Breed Standard. No other presentations conflict with the Breed Standard...that is how important this session is. Attendance at this presentation has grown as members hear about the quality of Bob's presentation. This is the same information judges receive as they learn about our Breed. This seminar is hosted by the Breeder's Education Committee.
