Waive the requirements from participating in a Regional Championship for Daniel Heldreth to participate for the 2017 USCA GSD Nationals.

EB Ballot: #31-17

EB Ballot: #31-17 Waive the requirements from participating in a Regional Championship for Daniel Heldreth to participate for the 2017 USCA GSD Nationals.

Motion by Pedro Jimenez, Northeast Regional Director, seconded by Vadim Plotsker, Vice President, to waive the requirements from participating in a Regional Championship for Daniel Heldreth to participate for the 2017 USCA GSD Nationals.

Background:  Daniel Heldreth entered the Northeast Regional for the weekend of October 14th, 2017.  Unfortunately his dog, Halle vom Edgecombe, came into season.  Due to his religious beliefs he cannot show on Sunday.  USCA has made accommodations for Daniel not to show on Sunday’s in the past.  Due to his dog being in season the only way he can show at the regional is to show is dog on Sunday.  The Northeast Regional is the last of the regionals so he is unable to attend another regional.  Daniel and Halle vom Edgecombe have already obtained their 270 score.  Both judges, USCA/SV Michael Caputo and USCA Robert Johantgen, are also in support of this wavier.

Note from Daniel:

To Whom it may concern,

I Daniel Heldreth am requesting permission to waive my regional requirements to show at the Nationals.

Due to my religious beliefs I don’t show my dog or work on Sunday. Unfortunately my dog is in heat and the only way for me to show her at the regionals is to show in the last flight on Sunday.

I got my 270 on 9/30/17 at Quinebaug Sch Club. I appreciate your consideration.

Dan
