This message goes out to those of you who have not yet signed up to volunteer for a club or show. I urge you to find a show in your area and donate some time: I guarantee that you will not be so quick to judge those doing the hard work after you have done it!
Michael Shepherd had to leave the Salem, Virginia shows abruptly when he got a call that his father was seriously ill. I am very sorry to report that Michael’s father, Robert “Shep” Shepherd, peacefully passed away Thursday, August 1st while surrounded by his family. A memorial was held at the El Fenix Mexican Restaurant on Tuesday in Lewisville, TX. Long-time friend Christa Cook stepped up and took “Wilma” the Boxer’s lead in Michael’s absence. Congratulations to Christa for being such a good friend and doing a fantastic job in Michael’s absence.

While the weather was hot, the scenery was stunning. Some might say that the cluster tried to pack too much in on [...]
I spent my first 4th of July weekend home in years! While I missed the California folks that I normally see on this weekend, it was quite nice to spend the weekend at home. I think, every once in awhile, we all need to try to spend a holiday weekend at home with our families [...]
By Amy Fernandez Yes, it’s going around again. Brace yourself for another delightful wave of dog flu. This latest outbreak on the west coast is spreading like wildfire. When we started hearing about dog flu more than ten years ago, there was actually more owner panic than the actual threat from the virus. Well, things [...]
I am sad to report that Ginger Sleeper has sent out letters to all client clubs stating that Roy Jones Dog Shows show superintendent will be closing after finishing the shows they are contracted to manage in January.
