GSD Federation of SA National Breed Show

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of James Moffett, known to us all as Jimmy.

Jimmy was an icon in the German Shepherd world, a man of immense strength of character, unwavering passion for the German Shepherd Dog.

A great tree has fallen today. The German Shepherd community has lost one of its giants, and his absence will be deeply felt by friends, colleagues, and dog enthusiasts around the world.

Our hearts, prayers, and deepest condolences go to Sharon, Nicola, Stephen, and to all his extended family and friends during this profoundly sad time.

🕊️Rest in peace, Jimmy. Your legacy will live on in the dogs you loved and the countless lives you touched.

Dear Exhibitors, Handlers, Breeders, and Enthusiasts,

It is with great pride and excitement that I address you ahead of our upcoming German Shepherd Dog Federation Show. This event stands as a celebration of excellence, dedication, and the enduring legacy of one of the most remarkable breeds in the world.

The German Shepherd Dog is more than a breed - it is a symbol of loyalty, intelligence, strength, and versatility. Each of you, through your commitment to responsible breeding, training, and handling, plays a vital role in preserving and advancing these exceptional qualities. Your hard work ensures that the standards we uphold today will continue to inspire generations to come.

As we prepare to gather, I encourage you to approach this show not only as a competition, but as an opportunity for growth, learning, and camaraderie. Whether you are stepping into the ring for the first time or are a seasoned participant, your passion and sportsmanship are what truly define the spirit of this federation.

Remember that every presentation reflects not only your dedication, but also the respect we collectively hold for this noble breed. Let us uphold the highest standards of integrity, fairness, and professionalism throughout the event.

I wish each of you the very best in your preparations and performances. May this show be a rewarding experience filled with achievement, inspiration, and pride. Together, let us continue to elevate the German Shepherd Dog to the excellence it deserves.

Yours sincerely,
Lorraine Van Loggerenberg
National Breed Supervisor
