I think all will agree that many dog fanciers have difficulty adjusting to change. In my career, I have shown up at the wrong showgrounds because I didn’t check the premium list to find out the show moved to a different venue! I only made THAT mistake once! I learned from that experience to [...]
By Amy Fernandez The Paris Olympics got off to an interesting start –before the games even started. The first bit of news concerned allegations of Canadian drones spying on a New Zealand team, followed shortly by sabotaged rail service into Paris. Predictably, security has taken center stage.

Table Talk · July 31, 2024 While I was home this past weekend recovering from my Houston travel woes resulting from the technology meltdown, I was thrilled to see we had a couple of clusters across the country that had entries more than 2,000 on the weekend–and not far from that on their weekday [...]

This year’s cluster was expanded to five days with one day of Specialties and Group shows, and four All-Breed shows. The entry was impressive! Saturday’s entry was 1,800, and the smallest entry was 858 [...]
By Amy Fernandez Westminster 2024 stood out as a rare occasion where everyone agreed about the winner. That included exhibitors, judges, handlers and most of all the millions of loyal fans that still tune in every year simply because they love dogs. The fact that the winner was another Poodle didn’t seem to matter this [...]
As I surveyed the media coverage from the 148th Westminster Kennel Club, I noticed many of the photographs did not portray these great dogs looking their best–or even close to good in some cases. I was relieved when I read a professional photographer’s view that backed up my concerns. Now, it makes sense! For [...]
