Whoever wrote “If you’re cold, they’re cold…” never spent time with a northern breed–or for that matter, most dogs.

The White Furred Lord
From the earliest days of mankind’s partnership with the domestic dog, the duty of acting as a guardian has been of the utmost importance. One of the earliest canine tasks was to protect the tribal settlements from intruders. However, when farming began, an additional role was created–that of defending precious livestock from thieves and predators.

The March Madness Cluster At Edison, NJ

New Brunswick hosted back-to-back shows on Friday and Saturday, March 21-22nd, and the Bronx Kennel Club held their 102nd show on Sunday, March 23rd. A good part of the success is due to their prime location at the Raritan Convention Center. It’s costly but the tradeoff is lots of space and a relatively convenient commute from all directions.
Pat Cruz – Memories Of Another Era
When we closed the first part of this story, Pat was hanging out with Raymond Oppenheimer, totally immersed in the Bull Terrier scene. So we need to backtrack a bit. Pat never lost her love for Sighthounds. On the contrary, by 1965 she had also acquired an Ibizan Hound, “And we started breeding some Afghans.”
The Big E – Easy Come, Easy Go…NO!
Never, never did we ever expect to become nomads. When we sold our home of twenty-three years, we looked forward to building a new one. Taking our needs for our future years into consideration, a new, custom-built home seemed just the right fit for us and the dogs. The thought of creating our new space was exhilarating. We found a lot, got a builder, and worked with an architect. Building plans were created and sent to our municipal building department for approval. A land engineering group was hired, too. Now we had our team. It was go-time, and we were ready to take our leap of faith.
