I am sorry to report the passing of Bill Ellis’ father. Bill has been involved with the fancy for many years as an exhibitor, and currently works for the American Kennel Club. If you watch any AKC TV show coverage, you will enjoy Bill’s commentary, most often in conjunction with Gina DiNardo.
The fancy is mourning the loss of AKC Judge Judi Daniels. Judi was an AKC Board Member from 1991-1994 and served as Executive Vice President from 1994-1996. Our thoughts are with Judi’s family at this difficult time.

Hiring fewer judges can have a negative impact on the schedule and cause the show to run later than it would with a couple more judges. Furthermore, there have been some judges who feel that they are being asked to do too much. They say that with their regular judging, and then being asked to judge non-regular groups as well–in some cases after judging 175 dogs and a regular group–they are exhausted. Once again, I think it is the responsibility of the hiring clubs to ask judges up front about the non-regular judging and if nothing is said, the judge should communicate what they are willing to do as well as what they consider to be too much.

Woofstock 2021 is a wrap! I have returned from Vallejo, California where the annual celebration of Peace, Love and Dogs took place over four days. As many of you know, Woofstock is normally held in June, and I think the cooler temperatures challenged some of the “hippie wear” we normally see! Fanciers, however, would not [...]

There have been some exhibitors who have stated that they would rather pay more for their entry and get the hard copy mailed to them, but I don’t think that is realistic. I believe we are adaptable, and I think we will all get used to downloading the necessary information to our trusty phones or printing them out!

There was a bit of confusion regarding the reserved grooming for the upcoming shows at Palm Springs KC. Exhibitors who tried to reserve grooming online got a message that the grooming was sold out. However, this was the message that people received before grooming was actually open for reservations. The team is working on auditing all reservations to ensure that individuals do not have double and triple reservations and they will be issuing refunds. Those of you who do not have reservations should check back regarding availability. I am looking forward to returning to the Empire Polo Grounds in January for one of the most beautiful shows of the year!!!
