Coupeville Sports

Gabriella Gebhard, ruling the dog show world.

Gabriella Gebhard is gearing up for the big dance.

The Coupeville High School junior will be at the Westminster Dog Show May 13-14, her second appearance at the pinnacle of the dog showing world.

As she preps for the premier event, Gebhard has continued to pile up victories in the world of juniors.

In fact, she’s just one win shy of netting her 10th win and qualifying for the senior master’s class.

Also, Gebhard achieved a new distinction recently, guiding her first “bred by” dog to multiple awards.

Everest, or Set’r Ridge’s Climbing to the Top, as is his official AKC name, was whelped 2.5 years ago.

Gebhard, who helped bring her canine companion into the world, also grooms, trains, and shows him, and the duo competed last weekend in Cashmere.

While there, they brought home Best Junior Handler and multiple Best of Breed honors.

“Can’t wait to see what my “not so baby boy anymore” and me can accomplish next,” Gebhard said. “So proud of my blue boy.”
