2018 REGIONALS READY TO ROLL! - Official Publication of the German Shepherd Schutzhund Club of Canada
President’s Message
Hello, GSSCC members,

As we read this issue of Shepherd Sports, many of us are
training hard for the trial season and many clubs have held
or are hosting trials, including their Regional Champion-
ships. Thank you for being active in the GSSCC! I hope
everyone enjoys their training and trialing and accomplish-
es their goals.
   I believe the backbone of the GSSCC and the reason we
continue to grow is from all the hard work that volunteers
and our clubs do! The GSSCC Board of Directors is work-
ing on incentives for our clubs and club members. Stay
tuned for further details.
   The 2018 Canadian Championship committee is working
very hard to host one of the best Canadian German
Shepherd Dog Championships and Sieger Shows ever. It
is being held from July 25 to 29 and hosted by the Lower
Mainland German Shepherd Dog Club in Surrey, B.C.
There is more information on the Championships at www.
gsscc2018.com.
   Please be advised that the next GSSCC Annual General
Meeting will be held during the Canadian Championships
at the Championship venue, which is the Lower Mainland
German Shepherd Dog Club, on Friday, July 27, 2018
immediately following the conclusion of the IPO trial for
the day. An exact time will be available after the schedule is
completed.
                                                  Darin M. Clarke
                                                        President
                                                         GSSCC

                           With trial season already under way,
                      here are some guidelines for handler etiquette.

 1. Know the rules and show your dog by them.
 2. Show good sportsmanship at all times — even when things don’t go well.
 3. If you can’t say something nice, then don’t say anything at all — even on social media.
 4. Take pride in your team.
 5. Remember that you earn your score as a team.
 6. Handle your dog to the best of your ability at all times.
 7. Always show respect to the judge and trial personnel — even when things don’t go well.
 8. Value the learning experience of the trial.

                            Working Dog Club
Another winter season come and gone, and here we are
with the new season, new trials and new goals to aim for.
Not that the winter wasn’t good. Winter is a great time to
focus on quiet, detail-oriented work indoors.
   The trial manager certification seminar is already behind
us, and with some new members, young dogs, and at least
two trials and a workshop planned, we’re looking forward
to a busy 2018.

                West Coast
      German Shepherd Schutzhund Club
The West Coast Club recently held its 29th annual in-
vitational workweek, which was attended by nearly 70
dog handlers from around North America and Australia.
Workweek is a free workshop, at which people who have
demonstrated a serious interest in and commitment to
learning about the West Coast training method can come
and immerse themselves in training for a week at our club.
   The West Coast Club has always believed in openly
sharing their training and enthusiasm for the sport with
others. To that end, the club has open training and anyone
who wishes is welcome to come and watch and participate
in any regular club training session.
   In addition, once a year the West Coast club hosts a train-
ing workshop for those people who want more!
   Although this year’s weather was probably the worst-ev-
er at this time, it did not dampen anyone’s enthusiasm.
   The West Coast club believes in following in the foot-
steps of the many German handlers and trainers who were
the foundation for our learning the sport of Schutzhund
and who gave freely of their time and knowledge. Canada
has followed the tradition of openly sharing training rather
than making the sport about personal profit.
   Thank you to our major sponsors: NorthWest Tanklines
and DogSport Gear.
   Further, the West Coast club makes an annual donation
to a local police K9 unit to support the working dogs in our
community.                                                       Above West Coast club president Lance Collins (left) and Tere-

   my comfort level, for continued participation in any event or related activity.

I UNDERSTAND AND AGREE, ON BEHALF OF MYSELF, MY HEIRS, ASSIGNS,
