About The Kennel Owners

---

We have both served on the Board of Directors of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America and co-authored the Red Book (a popular educational project created by Cappy from tabulating the show results of the 9 yearly GSDCA Regional Futurity/Maturity shows.) 

We are licensed AKC judges and have each judged many Futurity/Maturity shows and Specialties in the U.S. and Canada. Cappy has judged the Mexican and 2001 Canadian National Specialty for German Shepherds and recently the 2003 U.S. GSDCA National in Daytona Beach. Gloria has also judged in Mexico and Canada and judged the 2003 Canadian National Specialty in Kitchener, Ontario, and was voted by the GSDCA membership to judge the 2004 U.S. National Specialty in Portland, Oregon. 

We have attended dog shows in France, Italy, Holland and Japan, highlighted by many trips in the fall to the Sieger show in Germany. One of our most memorable international experiences was judging many different breeds including German Shepherds at a large All Breed dog show in Kazan, Russia which is 800 kilometers due east of Moscow. 

We are active in all aspects of the sport. Cappy created the National Obedience Victor and Victrix awards and was the first woman and second recipient of the prestigious Lamar Kuhns award. Gloria created the National Connie Beckhardt "Breeder of the Year Award". We are the current Committee Chairpersons of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America Register of Merit (ROM) System for Bitches.

Our lives have been dedicated to the German Shepherd Dog!
