Koby (Romeo Academy) comes from a sire (Oargos dei Precision) titled with a VA1 IPO3, and dam from Germany (Arlanda von Arlett).
Koby being May’s first GSD she decided to join SSGSSC to understand and learn the sport. Together with the support and encouragement of club members, she has not only discovered the amazing characteristics of the breed, but started to build a strong relationship with her dog, whilst making good friends.
After Koby winning 1st place (VP) in his class (9-12mos Male) at the Ontario Regional Sieger Show in 2022, May is ardent and devoted to further hone Koby’s raw talent and looks forward to training Koby to reach his full potential.
With much sadness we said goodbye to a great friend, club member, GSD lover and one of one of the most wonderful person anyone could ever meet. R.I.P good friend, you will always have a special place in our hearts.
Forever in our hearts – the dog sport community loss a truly special and wonderful lady with Gladys’s passing. She was a fantastic tracker, a dedicated dog trainer and supportive mentor that always had kind words for her friends, family and members of the dog sport community.
