1918 GSDC of America

"The first two American National Specialty shows were judged by Ann Tracy Erikoff who is credited with being one of the first importers of German Shepherds into the United States. The first show had an entry of 42; the second show had 95. (I have my own note saying to check numbers and spelling) The first Grand Victor was called Komet of Hoheluft. Hoheluft was the kennel name used by John Gans."
