Conformation – You will learn how to compete in AKC conformation dog shows. The purpose of dog shows is to evaluate breeding stock to each breeds standard. You will learn ring procedures, how to stack your dog and move at a correct speed. This is a great class to learn how to work as a team with your dog and be ready for our Fall show. Please bring a proper show leash and bait/treats to class.

We will also have a drop-in conformation class on Tuesday February 16th for anyone that needs practice before the Iowa shows.


Tracy Duff (Conformation) – I love competing in AKC Conformation. My mother is a GSP breeder, she instilled in me a passion for breeding and showing quality animals. I am 38 now, as young as 5 years old I was showing in matches and all breed shows. I then moved on to Junior Showmanship while also working for Professional handlers learning all I could about the different breeds, proper care, and presentation. I have been fortunate to partner with and learn from successful breeders in my breed. I am currently breeding German Shorthaired Pointers under the kennel prefix Westpointe. This year I am looking forward to judging the Futurity at the GSPCA National Specialty. I truly enjoying sharing my knowledge that I have learned over the years to anyone that is willing to be taught.
