She’s headed back to the biggest stage for a third time.

Coupeville High School rising senior Gabriella Gebhard has qualified for a return trip to the Westminster Dog Show.

That means she’ll be in New York next February for the 149th version of the event, showcasing her pooch-handling skills at Madison Square Garden.

Gebhard, who is one of the top junior handlers in the country, qualified by racking up win after win, and by bringing in top grades in the classroom.

And she’s topping the charts with multiple dogs these days, with Walker (Set’r Ridge’s Legend in the Making) and Everest (Set’r Ridge’s Climbing to the Top) taking turns.

Impressing the judges.

Gebhard, who is currently competing at a show in Coos Bay, Oregon, also shows a blue female and a puppy, both of whom are winning awards as well.

The CHS senior has six dogs of her own, grooms them herself, and continues to expand her empire.

To go with her individual titles, Gebhard, who has 11 Best Junior wins since October 2024, also has victories as an owner/handler.

The ribbons rain down.

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.”

It’s official.

For now, Gebhard and her prime pooch, Walker (Set’r Ridge’s Legend in the Making), continue to rack up awards and work the circuit.

“So, so proud of what me and Walker have accomplished with only being out at two shows this year so far!” she said.

Let the ribbons rain down.

It’s a new year, but the same great results for Gabriella Gebhard and her main pooch.

The Coupeville High School junior continues to dominate the world of American Kennel Club dog showing, working with her English Setter Walker (Set’r Ridge’s Legend in the Making).

Beating a field of 72 juniors at one event, Gebhard claimed Reserve Best, then followed that up by claiming the largest ribbon of the event by winning the Best of the Best competition.

Traveling from city to city, and state to state, the duo added to their wins with a particularly strong showing at an event in Portland.

In her time in the dog showing world, Gebhard has been on a roll, qualifying for and competing at the Royal Canin AKC nationals and the vaunted Westminster Dog Show.

“Why yes, I am a good doggo.”
