Remembering Jane Flowers
Family, friends and many in the sport of purebred dogs are mourning the sudden, unexpected passing of Jane Flowers. Jane was a well-known and highly regarded professional handler along with her husband, famed professional handler Stan Flowers.

The perpetual question is whether this sport has gotten harder or easier over the decades. There is no end of opinionated discussion on both sides of that argument. However, everything is relative. Case in point, prior to 2015 there was non-stop talk about revising the Triple Crown requirements because no one had conquered that challenge since Affirmed crossed the finish line at Belmont way back in 1978.
