The 2018 Specialty is a wrap!

May has been a busy month for GCGRC… we’re all exhausted but honored to have hosted so many events — an all-breed agility trial at the beginning of the month, a WC/WCX in the middle of the month, and finally wrapping up by hosting our two days of specialities and four days of supported entries. GCGRC wishes a heartfelt congratulations to all of the specialty winners this year:

A Huge Thanks

This post wouldn’t be complete without a shout-out to those that made it happen.  Thank you to those that entered to support our specialties and supported entries!  We can’t thank our fantastic specialty judges enough – Renee Ross, Pamela Lambie and Carol Sommerfelt – you were all a pleasure to watch and it was clear you were having a good time.  Finally, thank you to all of the GCGRC club workers that prep’d for the specialties, organized the pot-luck (even contending with the crazy, albeit short, rain storm), organized the raffles, helped with the eye clinics, adjudicated the CGC and trick-dogs, and generally pitched in to make things run smoothly.

In case you wanted to see some images from the weekend, there are some show candids in our Facebook Photo Gallery to check out. See you all next year!
