It is with a very heavy heart that I report passing of poodle breeder and popular judge Peggy Hauck (http://caninechronicle.com/breaking-news/remembering-peggy-hauck/). Peggy passed away last weekend after a valiant fight against illness for several months. We will miss Peggy’s smile and cheerful demeanor dearly, as will those who were so close to her.

Regrettably, the American Boxer Club has been forced to cancel their 2021 National Specialty. It was rescheduled from May to September due to venue challenges. ABC had no choice but to cancel this year’s show as a result of the hotel not being able to fulfill their contract.
