Delaware Valley German Wirehaired Pointer Club “Summer Splash” By Judy Cheshire
The Delaware Valley German Wirehaired Pointer Club hosted their first “Summer Splash” Specialty in conjunction with the Keystone cluster of dog shows on the weekend of June 3-5, 2011. Good weather, good dogs, good hospitality and good friends contributed to a great time! Much thanks to Bernee Brawn, whose lovely home was “Del Val Central” from Thursday afternoon through Sunday! Old friends were greeted and new friends were made; delicious food (thanks to everyone for bringing treats and becoming assistant chefs!!!!) and drink abounded and dogs romped everywhere! Thank you to all the exhibitors who came from as far away as Michigan, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Virginia and to our trophy chairman, Audrey Meinke, for the delightful array on our trophy table. Our new show site and dates brought us to the beautiful Bucks County area of Pennsylvania on the brink of summer. Lots to do and see! The weekend “kickoff” was on Friday with the Greater Philadelphia Dog Fanciers Association, followed by the Specialty with the Huntingdon Valley KC and a supported entry with Burlington County KC. Each day brought majors for both dogs and bitches and two new champions were made on Sunday – Ch. Ebbtide’s Not a Whole Lotta Sleep (Patti Roberts) and Ch. Heywire ‘N Cedarbrook’s RNs Fancy SH (Wendy & Rich Warwick).
