On behalf of the Board of Directors of the GSDCA-WDA I want to welcome you to the 25^th GSDCA-WDA National Schutzhund 3 Championship and WUSV Qualifier. This is a milestone for our organization and for the breed in the United States. This year’s event is an assemblage of the best competitors in North America.  The lineup of competitors is filled with past champions and those who have basked in the success of being among the very best.

 

We are grateful to our judges: SV Judge Karl Rittner, SV Judge Doug Deacon, and SV Judge Jürgen Hess for making the journey and giving of their time.  We are honored to have this group of judges award our National Champion and members of our GSDCA WUSV World Team.  I also want to thank our helpers, Clay Meadows, Carl Smith and Jimmy Dalton.

 

An event of this magnitude is the result of a tremendous amount of effort by a group of dedicated individuals:  Mike West- Chairman and Carlos Rojas (and his Alpha Working Dog Club), our local event coordinators who have dedicated countless hours to ensure a fair and successful event. We are indebted to all those who made the commitment to ensure this event is a success.  

I wish all competitors the very best of luck.
