On November 17-18, 2007, SV Judge Hans-Peter Fetten joined us to officiate at our autumn breed survey and conformation show. The weather was cool and cloudy on both days, but fortunately only a few random drops fell upon us. On Saturday, John & Marian Odh graciously made their property available for the breed survey in which 9 dogs received their KKL1's. Congratulations to club members Amy Schroedl and her dog Axel vom NeoHaus and also to Jim Castleton and his dog Maggie vom Bowne Haus both of whom obtained their KKL1's. Judge Fetten was impressed by the preparation of the dogs and sportsman-like behavior of the handlers. He also praised GSDCA-WDA certified helper Ray Silvertrust for his fair, safe and consistent helper work giving him the highest rating of excellent for his work. The conformation show went off without any hitches and Herr Fetten praised the dogs and the handlers while at the same time complimenting our club for the finely organized event we put on. Credit for this must go to Irene Clute, our field marshall, who led an outstanding team. Ed and Erin Irwin provided excellent food and refreshments on both days. The delicious chili and beef stew along with plentiful hot coffee was much appreciated by all as was the gas heater which Ed made available to stop spectators from slowly freezing. Ed, along with Jim Castleton did a fine job both days setting up the ring. Thanks also to Ring Stewarts Brian Mitchell and Herb Preiser, who also served as translator. And to Debbie Alongi who took photos and who along with Carolyn Kurt helped with registration. Among the many dogs taking part were club dogs, Shilo vom Melanchthon, Hoss vom Mittelwest, Goscha v.d.

Congratulations to Irene Clute and Shilo von Melanchthon (pictured on the left with her handler Eva Landers) and to Ray Silvertrust and his dog Santo von der Neuen Welt (on the right with his handler Skyler Silvertrust just behind the first dog) for their good showings at the 2007 NASS which was held on October 12-14 at Purina Farms about 30 minutes west of St. Louis. Shilo received a VP14 in the 6-9 Month Old Female Class, which was a very strong class of 47 dogs. This was all the more impressive as she has had very little show training and did not know her handler. Santo, who was in the Working Dogs Male Class, received a V-4. He was the highest placed dog who had 2 American born parents. To see Santo's Sieger Show Protection Work & Show Photos, Click Here

Our autumn trial was held on October 7, 2007. We were fortunate to have with us GSDCA-WDA Director of Judges, Michael West as our judge. The very unseasonable near 90 degree heat with high humidity led to a long and difficult day for both dogs and handlers, but at the end of it, nearly all tasted success. Congratulations to club members and dogs, Duffy von Fenwald, handled by Brian Mitchell, who passed their SchH 3 and to Maggie vom Bowne Haus and Jim Castleton who notched their third SchH 3.
