Something to look forward to! I hope clubs get on board and arrange some seminars. Will be highly worthwhile I think.

Mr F Lanting (USA) judged GSD at the 1995 Adelaide Royal Show and we were lucky enough to be awarded Best Of Breed.

He gave it to our first home bred bitch *Ch Delaforce Alvarado A Z (a breed surveyed class one bitch who was multi excellent graded ) (sorry for the brag)

It was a thrill that day her second BOB at the Adelaide Royal (1993 & 1995). He watched them walk and then gait in the small ring that he had.

He has written an article which has been placed in an old GSD Quaterly review. He often attends the seiger show in Germany so take a chance and give him a go.

Fred was an SV foreign-list judge until his compulsory retirement at age 70. He runs tours to the Sieger Show and I know a few Aussies that have travelled with him and had a great time.

I hope he gets a great entry
