2009 Shows

IT IS SHOW TIME AGAIN! GVKC Annual All-Breed Dog shows will be July 4 and July 5 2009. Specialty shows for German Shepherd, Irish Setter, Afghan Hounds and an All-Breed Rally & Obedience will be July 3, 2009. Events will again be at the Hamlin Fire Department, Hamlin, NY. WE ARE HOLDING OUR PRICES!!!! How many shows are you going to in 2009 where the entry fees will be the same as 2008? GVKC will not increase their entry fees for the 2009 shows. We are doing this in support of the exhibitors who want to show but are being priced out of showing with the cost of living and the continued increases in entry fees. Show us you support our efforts to provide an exhibitor friendly show environment by entering our shows! In addition, we will again be holding a heart clinic on Saturday, July 4. See the web site for a flyer. We again will have the 240 foot long conformation which allows for ample space out of the sun for our exhibitors and their dogs and guests. Misting units for cool down are a standard with our show. We will again have an auction on Saturday of attractive baskets and gifts donated specially for our show. The "Captain" will be back with his great Greek Food and the Hamlin Fire Department will provide breakfast and lunch items. Come join us for a great holiday weekend enjoying the sport of purebred dogs! Breeder Booster Page GVKC is again offering a $5.00 breeder booster page in our catalog.
