It's been awhile since my last dog show but these are a small representation of how well my dogs did. I never did show in confirmation with my Shepherds because the judges were looking for snipey, over-angulated dogs that did not resemble the original German Shepherd. Instead I wanted to show my dogs' intelligence and desire to please. These are all trophies for the high end obedience classes. Scent discrimination, retrieving over high jumps, off leash work etc.
You should enter obedience or rally or something at the Red Deer show. First weekend in November. You've got time to brush up and prepare. And if I can find someone to handle Cali for me, and we have the paperwork in order, I might enter him in Conformation just for giggles. I don't care about winning obviously, it's just a novel experience for him, and can show the audience what a proper shepherd looks like, even if the judges don't see it. So you can come cheer him on too, while hopefully adding some titles to your dogs. Win-win. ;) LOL
