Breed Priorities – The Kuvasz
The Kuvasz is an ancient Hungarian flock guardian breed. One theory has it in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago and traveling north with herdsmen to central Europe and the area that became Hungary. Another has it coming from the steppes of the Ural Mountains in Siberia then traveling west with the Magyar tribes. In the fifteenth century in Hungary, the breed was kept and bred by royalty and used to hunt large game as well as for protection. Kuvaszok were exhibited at a dog show in Germany in 1863 and at the first dog show in Hungary in 1865.
The Doberman – A Dominating Presence In AKC History
Some breeds have become such a dominating presence in this sport that we are apt to forget that this wasn’t always the case. For example, the Doberman ring is truly a shark tank. Countless great dogs never get a second glance in such a hypercompetitive environment. It’s not the place for novices–to say the least. From a historical standpoint, that is remarkable.

The Big E – Excellence As Expected
The 148th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Show was a premier world class dog show once again this year. The club members, with their dedicated show chair, Dr. Donald Sturz, created a stellar event. Make no mistake. That is no easy task. Over the past four years, the show committee surmounted challenges of changing venues, coping with the vagaries of the weather, and recreating the magic which is Westminster. This year without Dave Helming, the consummate show chair and gentleman, the show committee thoughtfully configured a show in the great tradition of Westminster and did it well.
1924-2024: A Century Of AKC Group Development
The American Kennel Club was formed by sporting dog men whose major canine interests were with gun dogs. Early dog shows were mostly for Pointers and Setters. Eventually they included other breeds, and some shows divided them roughly into Sporting dogs (Pointers, Setters, Spaniels, Foxhounds and Beagles), and Non-Sporting dogs (all other breeds).
Whom The Gods Would Destroy, They First Made Mad
While the ancient Greeks and later Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his poem, “Masque of Pandora” didn’t have dog owners in mind when they penned the words in the headline, they would not have been amiss if dog people had been the target. During particularly frustrating strings of failures at some performance or companion sport, several owners have related how dealing with their dogs’ sudden idiosyncrasies and trying to figure out just what demons had taken possession of their heretofore fine working dogs had driven them to the brink of battiness.
