We are so proud of our boy Aiko.  This past weekend we attended the HGH Club Northeast Trial under SV Judge Gerd Jahnke.  It was truly an honor to show under a real shepherd who knows sheep and dogs.  It really meant a lot showing under this judge as he took the time to watch the dogs and explain the elements and give a thorough evaluation.  It was Gerd Jahnke’s first trip to the US and we thoroughly enjoyed him and hope that he’ll come back in the future for judging assignments.  Thank you Judge Jahnke!
 
Here are some photos of Aiko’s HGH run.
