A sire and son at the National

The Great Dane Club of America National Specialty is the breed's most important show, with entries from across the country. Pegasus attended for the first time in 2016 with two dogs it had bred.

  • GCH Angus won the Stud Dog class, which is judged on the quality of a sire's offspring.
  • CH Nox, his son, was awarded Winners Dog: the top non-champion male in a large national entry.

Both under breeder-judge Jack Watts. Nox was handled by Aslynn Rose.
