The fancy has also been very vocal in showing huge appreciation to those involved in last week’s Ft. Lauderdale shows which were held at the Ocala showgrounds. Many said that they felt safer at those shows than they do at the grocery store! Saturday’s show was cancelled after three groups due to bad weather–including bad storms and tornado warnings–but besides that, the shows came off without a hitch! It takes a village, and we are lucky that this village exists ten times over within our fancy. Way to go, and thank you to all involved!

The years pass and many changes occur in our world of purebred dogs. Among them the cast of characters of the participants, which is particularly notable where some of our best-loved and most esteemed all breed judges are concerned! Who would have believed, twenty years ago, that the day might come when the once magic name “Alva Rosenberg” might bring forth a puzzled look and the question “who’s that” from the exhibitor or breeder or just casual fancier

This was way before air travel with dogs was prevalent. Air travel with dogs was done on old, two engine prop planes. For us, it was the old Flying Tiger Line that we went on. It was a nineteen-hour trip from Burbank, California, to Newark, through Salt Lake City and Detroit. The dogs, tack, handlers, and helpers were weighed in as freight.

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!
