Don Yelle (Stadium)

I was introduced to schutzhund (and the German Shepherd) by my father in 1987. That is when I took my first grip from an East German dog named UTZ, and I have been in love ever since. I have been a member of USCA for over 20 years. I received my judges license in September 2016. I have judged many Regional Championships and six National Championships for USCA, one National Championship in Canada and one National Championship in Australia. I have also judged the CWDF world selection trial for IGP-FH. I have had the opportunity to be selected as a helper for 36 championships in USCA and once for the GSSCC National Championship. I have titled 8 dogs in the past 20 years. I showed 5 of those dogs at the USCA Nationals, as well as our regional championship(with two of them from my breeding kennel). All of my dogs have been breed surveyed. I am the USCA New England Regional Director and Co-Chair of the USCA Helper Committee. I am very active in the dogsport, Schutzhund is a lifestyle for me!
