Sieger Show in Reston VA in October!!!

Remo · 03-29-2010, 01:16 PM

Wahoo! The North American Sieger Show is going to be held at Lake Fairfax in Reston VA on Oct 15-17th this year.

I would be excited enough with this show being close enough for me to attend - but even better, the nice folks hosting the event said that VGSR was welcome to put up a booth! How awesome is that?

So, mark your calendars folks! I can't wait till October!

I am available as a handler at this show. I know Rudiger Mai as a good friend and a very good judge and I recommend the event.
If you would like to contract me for handling there, please let me know at Mr.GSD@netscape.com and we can discuss details. No fee as such, just an equitable share of expenses. Fred Lanting

I can't wait until Cullen is old enough... I am planning on possibly attending as a spectator though!

robinhuerta · 06-19-2010, 11:34 PM

We are attending as well.
Hope (fingers crossed) to have a small but quality progeny group for our male Cuervo.
Hope to see you there Mr.GSD!...always a pleasure!
Robin

Hi Fred,

You won't remember of course but my wife and I bought a pup from you a LONG time ago when you were in Toledo and had just gotten into whippets also. Female named Susy if i remember.

Your name brought back a flood of memories about her. We are now back into GSD's with a dog from Covy Tucker Hills and are now in CA.

Welcome!

How does one get involved in showing in seiger?

You need to join the WDA. National events (the Sieger Show and Schutzhund Nationals) require WDA membership (other events you can enter without being a member). The dog needs to have AKC full registration or other recognized registration (like SV papers from Germany if the dog was imported). Also you need an official 4 generation pedigree from the AKC, then you need to get the dog's tattoo and/or microchip number certified by the WDA so that the dog can be identified. Basically, you purchase the 4-gen pedigree from the AKC website. Then, you have your vet sign the WDA paperwork (can be downloaded from their site) which basically states that they've scanned the chip or checked the tattoo and verify the number. You send these two to the WDA and it comes back to you stamped by the WDA.

You enter your dog in the show. Usually when you enter an event you always send photocopies of the dog's AKC registration, the certified 4-gen pedigree, and rabies vaccination (and the dog's scorebook if it is a trial or working class for show). When you get to the show to check in you will need to present the originals of these papers.

The paperwork is a pain but it's like this everywhere, almost the same process for UScA Sieger Shows. If you are not really into "showing", don't be discouraged, tons of people show their puppies for the first time (or only time) at the Sieger Show. Your breeder can help you or there are many handlers available. Usually if I pay a handler and they don't advertise a fee I pay the registration fee plus a little tip. Last time I used a handler from another team my registration fee was $40 so I gave the handler $50 because I was satisfied with how the dog was shown.

Nice. I don't know that I would be anywhere near ready this year, but would like to try with Cullen later down the line... just because. We will be showing him AKC standard, and then working on Schutzhund also...

Welcome!

I certainly remember Susy... big female, loved to team up with my whippet to flush (and have him chase) rabbits. Send me a note at Mr.GSD @netscape.com Fred
