Today, I went to the North American Sieger Show at Lake Fairfax Park, in Reston, Virginia. In the show, people showed their dogs. It was only German Shepherds. After all of the shepherds were done, I participated in the Junior Handler Workshop.
Walter Kotters and Pat Kuehn were the instructors for the German Shepherd Dog Handlers Program.Walter is from Germany and Pat is from the United States.
For the workshop, I used Funny, Faye von Kirschental. Funny is Via's grandmother and is eleven years old.

Funny is a veteran already so she knew what to do. When her owner, Julie Richards-Mostosky, walked out of the ring, Funny was lunging all over the place. After that, she was trying to go out of the ring every time we went around a corner.
Pat and Walter showed me how to stack a dog and how to hold the leash with some pressure. They also told us how to have spacing between each dog.
There were ten dogs and ten kids.We went around the ring three times, then they looked at the dogs and we did some other things and then we did three more laps. And it was so cold, I wore five shirts and was still cold!
