German Shepherd Youth Recognition Fund
The purpose of the GSYRF is to acknowledge our youth interested in our breed and to provide an incentive for them to continue and remain dedicated to the German shepherd in the years ahead.
Our intent is to encourage and recognize what the youth of our sport contribute and to thank them for the time, effort, dedication, and service they provide to the German shepherd. All donations will be given to the youth in our breed, and no costs or expenses of the fund will be paid for by the fund. All efforts, fees, costs, etc. are going to be donated.
You may donate to this fund directly on the website.
