1988

Sue Geske joined the club with her shepherd "Taiga".

In 1988, Rachel Murray and her Rottweiler "Bushwhak'n Ernie of Chutzpah" represented our fledgling working club at their first trial.

Rachael wasn't happy about the sufficient and never let training helper Warren forget it. Ernie wasn't a sufficient dog — far from it. It helped for all the club members to actually SEE a Schutzhund trial, and we went home with new goals and better ideas on how to achieve them.
