The DKGNA 2024 season is underway. The Board of Directors has been busy planning the testing schedule, Annual Meeting, and the DKGNA Raffle. Additionally, I attended the DKV Presidents’ Meeting in Kessel, Germany in January. Later this month, Randall Cherry and I will be attending the DKV Annual Meeting in Dipperz, Germany.
The DKGNA Annual Meeting will be held in Hailey, ID on May 16th, 17th, and 18th. Activities will include a Derby, Zuchtschau, Annual Meeting, and Banquet. The event is being organized by Randall Cherry, Alec Losee, and Josh White.
In March, we will be holding webinars for our Test Coordinators to ensure that the DKGNA tests run smoothly, the Judges have everything they need at the tests, and the paperwork is correct when submitted to Germany. This year we will be holding a webinar for the JGHV Judges working at our spring and fall test. It is our goal to ensure that our Test Coordinators provide the Judges with everything that they need, and that the Judges are on the same page when conducting and evaluating the Derby, Solms, and VGP.
The DKGNA Raffle tickets are being sold both electronically and by hard copy. For more information about the Raffle please refer to the article later in this publication. Good luck with your training and testing this spring.
