This past Friday at Club our training session was run by SV Judge and Breed Warden Bernd Nagel from Detmold, Germany. This was such an honor for all of us. Bernd started with ring training and gave everyone a critique of each dog. After the ring training we did obedience work and then protection work. He knows so much and everyone learned much from him. After dark we moved into the building to continue training and finished the night in a circle asking Bernd questions. The following pictures were taken by Isabelle Nagel and Chris Schwimer.

Time for the big dogs with Ron Stokes doing the helper work with Kira
Wow, what an opportunity! I am always jealous of the folk who live within driving distance of you, Julie. Everyone looks great!
Lordy; obviously I needed the stacking practice!! And those sweat pants make my butt look huge; ha ha! What was I thinking? When I think back, I remember being really gross and sweaty, nervous stacking the dogs for Bernd, and just being pleased when the wiggly pups stayed still for me! All the dogs did great just putting up with me!
Excellent job Becky!
Julie, thank you so much for finally getting out of slacker mode and getting some photos up. All of the pups look really good. Excellent job with Kira!
Becky, I had to go back and look closely at the pics to find your butt, lol!
In the stacked pic, Roman looks so much like Nikon did at that age.
I like Prez a lot!
