1997 Schutzhund USA Nationals

The Schutzhund Trial from Hell

The video of the 1997 USA Nationasl is now edited and ready for shipping. It is 4 hours of tape on the top dogs doing obedience and protection work. Call or e-mail our office with your order.

The best definition I could ever give for this competition is that it was "THE SCHUTZHUND TRIAL FROM HELL." It rained all day Friday and Saturday with the temperature in the mid-to low 40's, on Sunday it stated out raining and by mid-morning was snowing heavy wet snow. By 1 PM it was snowing and blowing so hard that I had to quit video taping (I missed the last 4 or 5 dogs of the trial.) I could not keep my camera equipment dry. The snow was so bad that the high wall had to be shoveled before each dog used it. Several good dogs were pulled on the last day because of the weather.
