A new trophy will be on display at the Airedale Terrier Club of Illinois' specialty at the Waukesha Kennel Club show this year. Designed in memory of long-time club member, Airedale breeder, exhibitor and judge, Gary L. Vohs, who passed last year.

The trophy will be awarded to the first breeder whose dogs win the specialty's Best in Sweepstakes award three times.

We are all grateful Gary judged our Sweepstakes in 2023 and also shared his expertise to our dog show tour that year. We all miss his devotion and knowledge to the breed and the people who love them.

Profound thanks to Gary's wife, Joanne, for offering her artistic skills to create such a wonderful keepsake piece.
