Too Many Shows, Not Enough Entries
We hear the refrain often: “too many dog shows and too few entries.” It’s like the quote (incorrectly) attributed to Mark Twain: “everyone complains about the weather but nobody does anything about it.” We lament about it, we complain about it, yet nothing changes. I don’t have the answer. I have a concept – an undercooked, ambitious concept – that will raise hopes or hackles depending on your point of view. My point is not to convince anyone of anything. It’s to start a conversation about actually doing something to address the current imbalance.

Too Many Shows Revisited – Part One – Champions Across the Ocean
If you are visiting England and you hear that someone in your breed has a champion, you go out of your way to see it. Why? Because earning a champion title in the UK is more challenging, and perhaps more revered, than it is here in the States. The opportunities are far fewer, the breed entries per show are enormous compared to those in the States, and there are no classes for champions. In American terms, all three wins essentially must come “from the classes.”
Breed Priorities – Icelandic Sheepdog
The Icelandic Sheepdog ancestors were brought from Scandinavia by the Vikings as early as the 800s. Blood samples show that the breed is related to the Finnish Karelian Bear Dog that originated in Russia. It may also be related to the Norwegian Buhund, Swedish Vallhund, and Norrboten. The Icelandic Sheepdog has been documented as a distinct breed since the Middle Ages.
