WUSV 2008 - Florence Kentucky
October 9th to 12th was the 21st German Shepherd Dog World Championships, hosted by Schutzhund USA and held in Florence, Kentucky. Darryl represented our club and our country on Team Canada with his dog Talon. He had an incredible protection routine with the crowd going wild when Talon took down the helper in the escape bite - and got away with the sleeve. He looked awfully proud of himself running around the WUSV field with the sleeve in his mouth! Supporting Team Canada and enjoying a weekend watching some great dogs was Sarah, Christy, Rick and Jo.
