In 1954 a true Scotsman was born and little did his friends and family know then, but he was a star in the making and a true breeder, enthusiast and judge of our time today in which we are grateful. Born in East Kilbride Scotland in 1954 was Ken Sinclair, later known for the world famous Araki Tibetan Terriers. He became fond of the Tibetan Terrier after leaving school and becoming a full-time kennel boy for a kennel in Sussex for Anne Matthews (Hardacre), then aged 18 years old. Growing up as a child and with his family they did own a few dogs as pets including a black miniature Poodle called Pepe. It was the day he went along with his family to collect Pepe that he was mesmerized by the beautiful set up of kennels and grooming area of this place that Ken stood there and knew that this is what he wanted to have for himself. Before Ken owned Tibetan Terriers, he enjoyed great success at Championship shows with Afghan Hounds back in the day when the entry in the UK was in the 300 to 400’s, and it was from the experience, knowledge and understanding of having this breed that he had an idea of what to look for in a Tibetan Terrier.

Horses and dogs just naturally seem to go together. When I was riding jumpers and galloping racehorses, there were always dogs around the stables and at the boarding facilities. The horse owners almost always brought their dogs along when they came to ride. Horse people just seem to love dogs and many dog owners feel the same way about horses. However, other than Foxhounds and Harriers, nowhere in the dog world is this mutual love affair more apparent than with Dalmatian owners who give their dogs the opportunity to do what the breed was intended to do.

I read with interest the article by Ms. Gretchen Bernardi entitled “It’s All About The Spots”, published in your September, 2010 issue. Her stated reluctance to “discuss controversial matters that pertain to breeds other than my own and about which I have only limited information” is duly noted and I wonder what moved her to jump into the business of a Parent Club membership and a complex issue about which a great deal of inaccurate information has been spread through the pages of almost every major dog magazine in America.
