Welcome to the Great Dane Club of Cleveland
 
The Great Dane Club of Cleveland was founded in 1939.  Its main objective it to educate the public on the health, welfare, and responsible ownership of our beloved Great Danes.  Through many years of hard work and dedication to the breed, our club has had many Champions and is sponsored by some of the greatest breeders of all time.
ANOTHER OHIO SPECIALTIES IS IN THE BOOKS!
IT WAS A GREAT SHOW AND I THINK EVERYONE HAD A GOOD TIME.
To All The Club Members from GDCC and HOGDC - JOB WELL DONE!

I would like to give a Big Thank You and Shout Out to our Friends and Exhibitors that not only come and show their dogs, but pitch in and help with so many things to help the clubs run a great show.
Lisa and Bill Barratt - Host of the Friday Nite Tailgate Party. Good Fun, Good Food and Great
People. And your peeps, great tent chasers, Thank You.
Jon Finck - Tent Frame Master. You helped make set up a Breeze, no pun intended.
Jan Miner, Bill Barrett, Christian Mitchell, Dale Desjardins, Troy McClure, Kenny Cregg, and all
the other helping hands with the tents. You never have to, but you always do. Thank you.
And to the POLE HOLDER BOYS, (you know who you are). Thanks for keeping the tents on the
ground Thursday. It was also a great photo opportunity. Lots of pictures....lol.
Jean Dinkins - Thanks for stepping in to help with Stewarding Saturday and Sunday.
Our Ohio Specialties is truly a remarkable show in that we have such a great community of
exhibitors that continue to support the Specialty and show that you can have a great time showing dogs. They brave all the weather that Ohio has to give. There is laughter and friendly banter ringside and after each show is concluded, lots of get togethers. My hats off to all of you. You Are Fabulous!
Hope I see you all next year. Best of Luck to you and your dogs. Wishing You Wins!!
