Multiple Best In Specialty Show

Westminster Best of Breed Winner 2025

Owned by Julie Gassen

Julie Gassen’s first Beauceron. Réussite, known as Reo, has given Julie an extraordinary introduction to the breed. Her commitment to his development and the team supporting his show career deserve recognition alongside his wins. Learning the world of conformation with a first Beauceron takes preparation, persistence, and good sportsmanship. I am proud of Julie and the dog she has helped bring to this level.

GCHG — Gold Grand Champion: after earning an AKC Championship and Grand Championship, a dog must reach 400 cumulative Grand Championship points for Gold. These points come from judged competition against other dogs, with requirements for major wins and defeating Champions along the way. Judges evaluate breed type, construction, and movement against the Beauceron standard. This is a sustained competitive accomplishment.

CGC — Canine Good Citizen: ten evaluated exercises in basic manners and handling, supporting a dog’s ability to be a manageable companion. Reo’s Gold Grand Championship and documented Westminster Select Dog recognition celebrate a distinguished show career and the people committed to it.
