That was my first thought when I checked out Toco, the Japanese media sensation who reportedly has spent $14,000 to satisfy his lifelong dream of transforming himself into a Collie. His journey from human to Collie has already garnered an enormous social media fan club–32,000 YouTube subscribers according to a recent NY Post story. By way of explanation he said, “Do you remember your dreams from when you are little? You want to be a hero or a wizard…” Yeah well, I wanted to be a mermaid and I’m still waiting for that one.

Prior to July 2022, AKC required that Juniors own the dog they show in Junior Showmanship. One can assume the rule was in place to ensure Juniors were taking full responsibility for the dog they showed since Junior Showmanship is meant to give youngsters the opportunity to learn all facets of preparing and presenting show dogs. In July 2022 the American Kennel Club launched a pilot program to allow Juniors to participate in Junior Showmanship with dogs they do not own. AKC has given the policy that enabled the pilot program to happen permanency by making it a rule. As we all know, many rules, laws, etc. have unintended consequences.

As the summer temperatures continue to soar, I have a message to those attending outdoor dog shows. Do not give your dog ice cubes if they are hot! This shock to their system can cause serious complications including bloat and other dangerous, life-threatening situations. If you have not had the chance, check out the Table Talk Live! segment about heat stroke on our Facebook page and website. You will find a lot of helpful information in that segment.

I would like to share words of wisdom from Pat Trotter about her views on an ethical breeder: “The ethical breeder is a purist who does not expect his animals to earn their keep through stud fees and puppy sales. The ethical breeder lives for his dogs and not off his dogs. This breeder breeds for the enjoyment of the end product and the sense of accomplishment achieved by success. This success can come in the form of looking out the window in sheer pleasure as one of your dogs trots across the yard effortlessly, or it can come with accolades in the show ring.
Breeders must be constantly dedicated and rededicated to the fact that the most important thing a dog can be is man’s best friend.”

I will be sure to keep everyone posted as more information becomes available.
