2021 Specialty and Obedience/Rally Trophy Donation Fund

Although the 2020 Specialty and Obedience/Rally competitions have been postponed, the club will continue to raise funds to purchase ribbons and awards for the 2021 events.

It is only fitting that our exhibitors be rewarded for their continued involvement in the sport. We are asking each member to consider making a donation to support the trophy fund.

Please submit your donations to Chris Kimerer. Make checks payable to the GSDCGKC.
