Anyone who has shown dogs in Ohio has probably crossed paths at some point with show photographer Brian Kurtis. Brian and his wife, Betsy, have photographed dog shows for over 30 years. Brian lost his battle with cancer this past week. Brian was very quiet about his illness; in fact, most did not know he was ill. There is a GoFundMe campaign to assist his loving wife, Betsy, and family with medical and funeral expenses. Brian will be missed.

Many breeds have an epigram. That short distinctive line, or quote that instantly gives you a mental picture of the essence of the breed. That little something maybe a breeder, judge or exhibitor mentioned or a sentence from the breed standard. These one-liners hit the nail on the head and are thought provoking.

There will be a tent for group judging. I know that Westminster Kennel Club asks those in judges’ seating dress in black tie during group judging. My guess is this year’s outfits will be a bit different, considering the outdoor summer venue. I have no doubt that those fortunate enough to attend group judging will make us all proud while looking lovely in their WKC best!

My heart is full after spending four days at dog shows in Southern California! It was great to spend time with folks I have not seen since the end of last February at the Beverly Hills show. This was the first year that the Lake Mathews and Conejo Kennel Clubs hosted a four-day cluster at the Lake Perris Recreation Park. This venue is gorgeous! In fact, I would have to put this location on my list as one of my favorite places to hold a dog show! Congratulations to the show committee for putting on a terrific event. Group judging this past weekend started at 2:30, and the show concluded at a very respectable hour every day! Kudos to the cluster’s Superintendent, Jack Bradshaw, and all involved.
