Geistvoll Yesterday's Dream goes by the name of YD Snowshoes. She came to us in March 1997 and has been terrorizing the house ever since. She loves the snow so hence the addition of "snowshoes" onto her name.

Her show career began in the Spring of 1998. In October 1998 YD became an American Kennel Club (AKC) champion! She walked all over the competition with her snowshoes. At the Standard Schnauzer National Specialty - July 1999 in Ventura CA, YD made the first cut in the Best of Breed competition. YD was out as a special in 2000 and has some very prestigious Best of Breed and Best of Opposite wins to boost about! She was ranked #8 in the SSCA Standard Schnauzer of the Year competition (#4 bitch) for 2000!! At the Standard Schnauzer National Specialty - September 2001 in St. Louis MO, YD again made the first cut in the Best of Breed competition.

In August 2000 YD traveled to Canada for shows and took Reserve Winners Bitch at the Canadian National Specialty. In October 2000 she went back to Canada to complete her Canadian championship. While at the prestigious Lower Mainland Dog Fanciers of BC shows YD was Best of Breed at the Peace Arch Working & Herding Association Specialty! Check out YD's Canadian wins .

YD has two agility titles . On August 5, 2001, she earned her Novice Agility title (NA) with first placements on all three legs! The first leg was earned just 8 weeks after the "beaners" were born. On October 27, 2001, YD earned her Novice Agility Jumpers (NAJ) title with 2 first placements and 1 second placement!! YD has also earned one leg toward her OA (Open Agility) title with a third placement and one leg toward her OAJ (Open Agility Jumpers) title with a second placement. These pictures were taken December 1 and 2, 2001 at the AKC Agility Trial in Pueblo Colorado of YD and Aaron. Here are a few pictures taken in 2002 of YD doing agility .
