Table Talk · January 8, 2025 And we’re off! The first shows of 2025 are in the rear-view mirror and another year has begun. For some dogs, new careers are just beginning while others are just a few short weeks before retiring from the ring at Westminster–a venue where many teams say farewell to one [...]

“There are so many wonderful memories of Ellie. In all the years of showing to her I do not remember the wins or loses, just the fun of showing to her. She had a way of making everyone who entered her ring that they were at a Garden Party! She made the novice feel they were on a par with the old pros. She would not allow anybody not to enjoy the time in her ring. Even the spectators outside her ring were drawn into party mode. She had a way of making a starting novice feel they were an important part of the show.”

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving holiday! Whether we spend this time with family, friends, on a beach somewhere, or at a dog show, it is important to be thankful that we can continue our involvement with our beloved sport of purebred dogs. As breeders, owners, and exhibitors, we all have different goals. [...]
Table Talk · November 20, 2024 I think that we can all agree that social media has changed the landscape of our sport. We have the ability to immediately post wins for many to see, share news about wins with clients, send out show schedules, make requests for assistants–the list goes on and on… In [...]
So often we talk about being kind to each other. Kindness is important in every facet of our sport: Exhibitors/competitors supporting each other, showing kindness and appreciation toward show volunteers, and kindness and respect among exhibitors and judges.
