Sat. May 28th 2016 GSDGA Harmony Show
We will start at 8:00AM with showmanship, each age class in one ring all showmanship will be at
the same time just in the different rings. 9:00AM the combined. The judges will change rings,
eliminating the need to change the location of the animals waiting to be shown. There will be a
short lunch/milk out break upon completion of the Combined Doe Show. After the short lunch
break, judging of the junior doe show will begin. A list of what breeds will be in which ring
number will be sent out at least 24 hours prior to show after entries are tallied. Show order is
subject to change to make show run more smoothly.
