Sept. 26-28 DH and I went to Chicagoland and stayed with his parents. Saturday we went to the regional WDA conformation show and stopped at Ikea on the way home (got the new curtains I needed). Sunday we went downtown for Giordano's pizza, did some shopping and walking around (got a good brand winter fleece from Macy's and Cubs shirts).Caution! That German judge looks like he's all businessThe youngest competitorThe puppy we went to cheer on, Alta Tollhaus' Schumi, got VP2 in baby puppy malesSchumi stacked by our handler (Team Huerta Hof)Young handler for Team Huerta HofI *think* I heard them say this puppy has the same sire as mine. Cute anyway!My breeder's working class femaleCounting the teethThis beautiful child came to hang out with usMaika is totally cool with babiesCarlos from Team Huerta Hof having a look at some pups (these pups I think also have the same sire as my pup)My breeder's working class bitchI took TONS of pics at the show but will just post those since most are repetitious (each dog gaiting, stacking, etc).Blah day in ChicagoFun in the fountainsThe kids lured DH in!I tried lots of architecture pics, but to my disappointment the camera I'm borrowing only had a UV filter, not a polarizer, so these have some terrible reflectionsDog on the streetThe final destination!
Awesome pics (as usual!!!) - looks like you guys had an excellent time!
Yeah the show was really fun. Everyone was laid back, no animosity between the kennels there. I was pleasantly surprised to get to see all those pups that are related to mine.

Yeah - sounds like the sire is a busy busy man
Liesje:
Oh my gosh, look at that sweet puppy!!!
Amazing pics (didn't realize what were the terrible reflections ) And love the dogs! Since I've been coming here and reading your posts, I have a very special interest in GSD's now! They are amazing!! Specially through your eyes.
The only purebreed all papers and stuff GSD I ever met, was Boby an amazing dog that lived on my godmother's house. He was alone and bored all day. Once I came with my mom carrying a stuffed animal, Boby knocked me down trying to get it. My mom wisely told me that he was "protecting" me of the doll. She wouldn't let me to feel afraid of any animal and I'm thankful for that! After that incident I was never holding anything while in the garden and Boby always was my friend. Sorry about the rambling.
