WE NEED YOUR HELP !!!!!!!
The German Shepherd Dog Club of Greater Kansas City is once again sponsoring our annual “Wine Pull” fundraiser on August 23rd & 24th, 2019 in conjunction with the Topeka Kennel Club All-Breed; Obedience, AKC Rally; and Junior Showmanship competition. Proceeds from the Wine Pull will go to benefit the National Police Canine Association (NPCA) North Central Region and help off-set the cost of regional police canine training not paid for by the individual police agencies. Last year we reached our $1,000 goal and we hope to do the same for this year.
Your donation of wine no matter how small or large for the fundraising event is greatly appreciated. You can bring the wine to any of our monthly club meetings between now and including the August meeting, if you are not a wine connoisseur, you may donate cash and either Bobbie Schiffelbein or Lynette Stone. They would be happy to purchase the wine in your name. Both are co-chairing this committee again this year and have done a fantastic job getting people to stop at the table and participate in this worthwhile cause. The Topeka Kennel Club has made this part of their annual show weekend attraction, advertising this event along with all the other functions happening over their 5-day show circuit. We will be given a prime spot this year right by the entrance of the Expocentre so everyone will have to walk by the table which will be set up Friday and Saturday all day.
We plan on having a couple of Officers join us over the two-day event adding faces and real stories to the Association sharing all they do to provide safety to the citizens.
PLEASE BRING YOUR WINE DONATION TO THE JULY MEETING
2019 June Conformation Specialty Shows
THANK YOU
Submitted by Chris Kimerer
I would like to thank each and everyone for the help and support at our 2019 June Conformation Specialty Shows at Smithville Lake. It was a very successful weekend and we have several club members who entered their dogs and have brags. I would like to recognize and say thank you to several club members.
THANK YOU to club members who came out Friday afternoon to erect the tents. It’s a job and takes multiple people, then again on Sunday afternoon afterwards to take everything down and put back into the trailer. By then everyone is tired and ready to go home, but everyone pitched in and it was done quickly and proficiently. THANKS to Nelson Hinman, Clark Avera, Ken & Iryna Sanders, Aaron Stasiak, Mark & Debbie McHenry, Jay Kimerer, Sally Hamm, Ray Laughlin and Troy & Amy Edwards.
THANK YOU to Megan Marmon for being our official “Show Photographer” and capturing all the dogs on film and taking the official win photo’s. They are beautiful and are available to all of us on Megan’s website.
THANK YOU to Troy Edwards for being the “Man-in-Charge” of the grounds, tents and everything in between! Tents never moved or blew away, Club Trailer is now organized and tidy, trash cans never overflowed and our show area remained clean and tidy the entire weekend.
THANK YOU to Amy Edwards for being my right arm, besides Show Secretary duties, Ring Stewarding and keeping the Judges organized and the show on a timely schedule, helping with all the other functions at hand the entire weekend.
THANK YOU to Debbie McHenry, Sally Hamm and Rosi VonFintel for organizing and putting on the Canine Good Citizen Test on Saturday evening. Out of 8 entries 5 dogs were awarded a CGC, congrats on the owners of these dogs!
THANK YOU to Bobbie Schiffelbein and Lynette Stone for putting together the beautiful meat & cheese trays for the Friday night Hospitality. I believe everyone stayed and thoroughly enjoyed the evening and it was a lovely night.
THANK YOU to Mike & Nancy Kennedy and JoClair Gipe for transporting our Judges and getting them to the shows on time and back to their hotel. Also, thank you for picking up the lunch for Saturday and the Pizza’s for the after show ringside party.
There are many other duties multiple people handled and took care of, it takes all of the club members to put on an event such as this and I’m so pleased in how everything turned out and ran smoothly. Several of our club members also supported these shows by entering their lovely dogs, below are the major highlights.
JoClair Gipe’s 4-6-month Beginner Puppy Faolan made his first show debut.
Carmi Swift’s 4-6-month Beginner Puppy Hadas took Best of Opposite Beginner Puppy Friday & Saturday.
Also, Carmi’s granddaughter Lennox won 1st place Novice Jr. Handler Friday & Saturday.
Debbie McHenry’s 6-9 puppy dog Trumann shown by Paul Hamm placed Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Tammy Peterson’s 6-9 puppy Trip placed Saturday and won his class on Sunday.
Sally Hamm’s 9-12 puppy dog Buddy won his class on Friday and placed Saturday.
Carmi Swift’s 12-15-month dog Oz placed on Friday and won his class on Sunday.

Tiffany Bartley’s Veteran Selena won the Veteran class Friday and Saturday to move on to compete for Best of Breed both days. Selena won Best of Breed Friday and Saturday in a big competitive line up.
Bobbie and Charlie Schiffelbein’s CH Colt 45 achieved his ROM (Register of Merit) title that weekend. It takes at least 10 Progeny consisting of 5 Champions and 5 more qualifiers (winning at least a major reserve) to achieve this title. By two of his daughters each winning 4-point majors at these shows completed the requirements for this Parent Club Title. A plaque will be awarded and presented to Bobbie & Charlie by the Parent Club at the Annual Meeting at this year’s National. Coulton will also be published in next year’s ROM Sire edition of our GSD Review and will be listed in the Red Book as a 2019 ROM sire.
Congratulations to all of our club members who entered their dogs and supported our shows this year!!!!!

Hello members,
As another event is coming up, I would like to remind you that we need you. Our Obedience Trial is the weekend of July 13-14, with set-up and Rent-a Ring on Friday, July 12.
Volunteers are needed for setting up the building, ring stewards for, either mornings or afternoon for Saturday and Sunday. We need at least three for each time period. We also need help with hospitality each day to bring food and drink to the judge and workers and to take the judge to dinner on Saturday evening. Finally, we need help putting everything away after the shows on Sunday.
All help is greatly appreciated. Please Contact Sally Hamm, ghamm9@kc.rr.com, or Bruce Hudson, skmhud@sbcglobal.net, if you can help. As always, it takes a village to put on our events. We can’t do it without you. This is the best opportunity to learn what happens at obedience trials and encourage our friends to have success with their dogs. It’s always a good time.

Hope to see you soon.
