SUMMARY:Live Webinar: Steak on the Plate – Why Structure Matters with Laura Reeves
DESCRIPTION:Understanding structure and why it matters is probably one of the most challenging and difficult things to understand when it comes to evaluating dogs. Terms like\, “layback”\, “balance”\, “type”\, “angulation” and many more are thrown around often and frequently misunderstood. Beyond the anatomy of the dog\, breeders and dog show enthusiasts as well as judges and exhibitors must understand WHY the dog is constructed the way it is and why this construction is necessary for the dog to fulfill the job he is intended to do. \nAKC judge\, past professional handler\, and second-generation breeder Laura Reeves of the wildly popular Pure Dog Talk podcast will help you understand not only the what\, but the whys of proper structure so that form can indeed follow function. This is a webinar you don’t want to miss! \n\n\nRegister at www.showdogprepschool.com/workshops

SUMMARY:July LIVE@5! Be Like Kaz!
DESCRIPTION:The sudden and tragic passing of famed handler and Poodle breeder Kaz Hosaka\, on the heels of his triumphant win at Westminster Kennel Club\, has led to a surge in “Be Like Kaz” commentary. Let’s break down what that means IRL \nThe most all-encompassing quote I found is from Jeff Hanlin\, “Being in the presence of Kaz Hosaka is like taking a master class in perseverance\, patience\, kindness\, humor\, devotion\, intuition\, trust\, sportsmanship\, respect\, friendship\, and humility.” \nHow do we model these virtues? How do we use them to turn back the “mean” spirit that sometimes pops up in competition? How can we incorporate these values into battling the epidemic of the “grims” that has been sweeping through our community? \nJoin host Laura Reeves for insights\, ideas\, commentary\, and Q&A … Meanwhile\, “Be Like Kaz!”

SUMMARY:2024 German Wirehaired Pointer Club of America (GWPCA) National Specialty Conformation\, Obedience\, Rally Events
DESCRIPTION:Breeder Symposium I Panel Discussion – Generation To Generation: The Young Guns in a National Breed Club \nNational breed club members are essential to preserving their breed’s health and future. They are responsible for public education\, networking\, and planning yearly celebrations and showcases of their breed on a national scale. Within a parent club membership there are typically members with varying levels of experience with their breed and in specific sports and activities. This spectrum of knowledge\, experience and perspective is valuable and allows for collaboration and development of professional relationships to benefit the breed. \nThe experienced members of a breed club can lead the younger and newer members\, setting examples and expectations for the conduct and productivity of the club\, However\, eventually it is time to pass the torch\, for fresh hands to do the heavy lifting and step up for the sake of the breed\, its club and the members. These “young guns\,” are still learning\, growing and developing within the breed and their community but are the future of the club. As they begin to take on roles for their breed club\, they will bring fresh perspective to the questions they are called to answer and the projects they are asked to undertake\, from generation to generation\, opportunity continues to arise for improvement and positive change. \nIn this breeder symposium panel discussion\, we bring on some of the “next generation” members of the GWPCA who are setting in and preparing to receive the torch passed on from the previous generations. The discussion is led and moderated by Laura Reeves\, long-time breeder\, AKC judge and GWPCA national breed club member. Laura brings additional viewpoints and expertise to the discussion thanks to her extensive experience. \nWe will hear from all members of the discussion group about their perspectives and experiences\, plans and aspirations\, and discuss the ups and downs that may potentially come with “the young guns” beginning to take on more responsibilities at a national breed club level. \nThursday October 10th – GWPCA National Rally\, Obedience\, AOH Sweepstakes\, GWPCA National Specialty Show Futurity & Maturity\, 4-6 month beginner puppy. Welcome Night and Breeder Symposium \nFriday October 11th – GWPCA National Sweepstakes\, Junior Showmanship\, GWPCA National Specialty Show BOB & NOHS. Dinner and Annual Meeting \nSaturday October 12th – GWPCA Regional Sweepstakes\, Junior Showmanship\, Regional Specialty Show\, All-Star Invitational. Dinner and Annual Awards \nSunday October 13th – Ft. Detroit GWP Club Specialty Show & Sweepstakes \nBeginning Monday October 14th – Field events begin in Ionia\, MI. Purina Dinner
