Gearing up for September

If you know anything about the activities in Germany you know that from this weekend all through October 11th is German Shepherd Time.

I am putting together my schedule and working with my Interview subjects in an effort to fit it all within the time I have. The three Major events I will be attending are:

SV-Bundesleistungshüten September 25-27 in Stettbach

SV-BundessiegerPrüfung October 2-4 in Donaueschingen

WUSV World Championships October 8-11 in Kresfeld

Also, I will be working on the list of personalities with your help, of the ones you want me to interview. This is -THE September to remember -and I'll make sure as much of it is recorded for you to see.

TWO OF MY FAVES QUALIFY FOR BSP 2009

Jörg Sauer has qualified with his two dogs for the Bundessiegerprüfung 2009.

They have caught my attention for some time now and I am really excited they will both be there. Quintus Eqidius and Amigo von der Holzinger Au. Jörg also competed with Tyson von der Schiffslache in the BSP 2004, '05 and '06. He marks the first of the premier competitors that have agreed to take me down memory lane back to dogs like Sid vom Haus Gremm.

Certainly he competes with dogs that are well bred, Quintus (left) and Amigo (right), but Jörg definitely has some hidden secrets I intend to uncover.
