🐾 3 WEEKS!!! 🐾

Alright friends — if you’re looking for something different to do… this is it 👇

The 52nd German Shepherd National Show & Trial is on in 3 weeks, and it’s completely open to the public 🙌

📍 Orchard Hills, Sydney
📅 Thursday 14 May – Sunday 17 May

This isn’t just a “dog show”… it’s actually a really great day out.

You’ll see some of the most impressive, highly trained dogs in Australasia:
✨ In the main show ring
✨ Competing in obedience (the discipline is unreal)
✨ Showing off in trick trials (yes… proper tricks!)

And on Thursday, there’s the super fun Sprint Dog — basically dogs going flat out, and it’s as entertaining as it sounds 😄

Bring the kids, bring your mates, or just come for a wander — it’s something a bit different and honestly really cool to watch.

If you’ve ever thought “wow, German Shepherds are amazing”… you’ll love this. 🐕🔥

From all of us at ZABENZAH German Shepherds, wishing everyone a safe and happy Australia Day.

Well… that wraps up our final show for the year for ZABENZAH German Shepherds, and what a great way to finish 🖤🐾

With extreme heat the day prior, a huge thank you to the German Shepherd Dog League of NSW for making the call to change the day and still giving exhibitors the opportunity to show. We truly appreciated the consideration and had a wonderful day.

✨ All three girls represented ZABENZAH beautifully under: Mr Ian Urie (Victoria)

✨ ZABENZAH Vitalia AZ, ZAP (Pupi x Viva)
VG2 – Intermediate LSC Bitch
Full of attitude, a little cheeky, and bursting with spirit — but as always, she tried her heart out. We absolutely love that spark in her.

✨ Multi Excellent – ZABENZAH Helia AZ, ZAP (Olymp x Viva)
Excellent 1 – Open LSC Bitch | Reserve Best Bitch
Flawless on the day. She continues to improve with maturity, and we couldn’t be prouder of the beautiful, confident dog she has become.

✨ ZABENZAH Vada AZ, ZAP (Pupi x Viva)
VG5 – Intermediate SC Bitch
Such a sweet girl who always gives her best. With Paris on the lead, we can well and truly see a glow-up on the horizon for this lovely young lady.

A massive thank you to Mel T and her beautiful daughter Paris for handling our girls over the weekend — we are so grateful to have them in such wonderful hands ❤️

And of course, congratulations to all our friends on their successes. A perfect way to close out the year 🐕✨
