Gabriella Gebhard continues to take the world of dog showing by storm.
The Coupeville High School sophomore competed in the AKC National Championship presented by Royal Canin in Orlando, Florida this weekend.
It was her second-straight trip to the event, but not the end of her adventure, as the 147th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show awaits in May 2023.
With strong performances this season, Gebhard is actually halfway to qualifying for the 2024 edition of Westminster as well.
While in Florida she claimed multiple awards with the most experienced of her pooches, Walker (Set’r Ridge’s Legend in the Making).
Who’s a good dog?
The duo, who are ranked #7 in the nation, made it through three cuts, and Gebhard claimed 2nd place for handlers who own and show their own dogs.
They also earned their fourth Best Junior award during a season which began Oct. 1.
“Successful show for sure!” said mom Stephanie.
On to more championships!
