I am ashamed to have to even post this but it has been brought to our attention that some exhibitors are stealing photos from the websites of the photographers at the show, making screen shots to use in their posts instead of legitimately purchasing the photos that they clearly like. 🤬

The purchase prices are very small, probably less than you spent on food at lunch!

The photographers worked hard for 3 days, standing in the rings in all weather and now are home editing the photos for you, which takes absolutely tens if not hundreds, of hours.

If you have stolen any photos, please do the right and honest thing and pay for them immediately!!

This sort of behaviour will mean that GSD shows are not covered by photographers at all and I am sure no-one wants that.

Please do the right thing!!!

2 of our wonderful, hard working stenographers, Margaret Barnes and Fay Stokes.

How they could hear the judge with the helicopters and Starlifters on top of the usual show noise, I will never know!

Thank you so much ladies ❤️
