I’m sure most of you are aware of the pilot program that AKC has announced which will allow mixed-breed dogs to compete in Junior Showmanship. AKC’s goal, as I understand it, is to enable as many juniors as possible to participate in our great sport. Many fanciers have asked if the ownership requirement might also be addressed. Currently, the junior showmanship guidelines require that the dog being exhibited also be owned by the junior. I am in the process of getting clarification regarding how this pilot program will be administered and will share that information with you as soon as it is available.

My heart is filled with hope after taking a look at this past weekend’s slate of shows! There were several shows to choose from, and there were good entries at all of them, along with some nice competition! Our West Coast friends continue to drive many miles to attend shows. Those of you who are fortunate enough to have dog shows closer than a couple thousand miles to their home should be thankful!

While it was initially thought that the American Spaniel Club would have to cancel their show due to Tennessee Government COVID protocol, club volunteers would not let up and I am happy to announce that the show WILL go on! The American Spaniel Club will be held at the Ocala, Florida showgrounds from January 15-17!!! Congratulations to all for thinking outside the box and moving to a new venue. I am certain that the ASC board made this decision in the best interest of the sport and ALL of their exhibitors!
