GOLDEN GATE KENNEL CLUB



GCH CH Wind Spirit Rod’s Amazing Grace

San Francisco is one of the world’s unique cities.  Few cities can combine the best of urban existence with some of the most breath-taking vistas to be had, all jammed in a scant 48 square miles.  In San Francisco, the Golden Gate Kennel Club is the perfect way for the fancier to start his/her year.  The GGKC’s January show, one of the few AKC benched shows remaining, is a favorite of West Coast fanciers.

GCH CH Kulana’s Sh-Boom

The seven dogs that made it to judge Eva Berg’s final on Saturday were the German Shorthaired Pointer, CH Hunterspride Moonstruck Farook JH, the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, GCH CH M&M’s Fear the Beard, the Newfoundland, GCH CH Seacrest’s I’m Not What You Think, the Lakeland Terrier, CH  Snowtaires Next Generation, the Chinese Crested, GCH CH Kulana’s Sh-Boom, the Standard Poodle, GCH CH Del Zarzoso Salvame From Afterglow, and the Australian Shepherd, GCH CH Wind Spirit Rod’s Amazing Grace.
