Top Dog Competition:

Each breed has a conformation competition where the top ten point winning dogs in that breed from the previous year compete together to pick the Top dog of that breed. The one Top Dog of each breed then competes with the Top Dogs of all the other breeds for Best in Top Ten for the year.  This year we are very proud to announce that this honor went to a WHITE SHEPHERD.  It was UCD GRCH Royal Von Tasz Classic, bred by Jean Reeves and owned by Diana Updike.
