I occasionally get requests from readers to write about a particular topic. And so it was this one came in, suggesting I write about tails. “For example,” she wrote, “my breed says tail to be carried from 12 o’clock to 3 o’clock with no preference, but the reality is if a tail is carried lower than high noon the dog is ignored. I’ve seen judges measure length of hair on the tail, or how long a docked tail is. My point is in most standards, or many, tails are only 5% of the standard. So in my book, judges shouldn’t be so nit picky about them.”

Yes, it appears that Westminster is gearing up for yet another relocation. Arguably, after the last few years, we should be pretty good at navigating the free-floating Westminster. A couple years at the Piers, a couple years at Lyndhust, a couple years at BJK. For sure, the basic Westminster logistics are far more demanding than the average show. Just getting there and back requires extensive pre-planning–never mind all the unforeseen complications that inevitably make the experience memorable.

I was just speaking with my friend Colin, which we do every couple days. Most of the time we talk about news going on at the shows. Colin is very intuitive and tends to know what’s going on before most, so it’s really a gossip catch-up, which is always fun, LOL. On this day he was going on about a Facebook post he read. In the post, the person was starting a new venture. Colin clearly thought they were not experienced enough in that field to go ahead with such a project.
