If your cultural institution is approaching its 150th anniversary, there are two ways to celebrate. Draw attention to its past–mention that it is the second-oldest sporting event in America, recently returned to its traditional venue, Madison Square Garden. Or note its venturesome present and new partnership with a state-of-the-art multipurpose site–the Javits Center. Remind people that it exists to celebrate the human/canine bond. Or, try something new–become part of the publicity campaign for a major motion picture that celebrates that bond.

You’re a judge and your first class of the day is a typical 2-0-1-1 entry. It’s your opinion that the two class-dogs are very poor examples of the breed, but they are bathed and in good condition. The exhibitors are quite pleasant. The first dog is almost leash-trained, the other not so much. Because of their lack of quality, it crosses your mind to withhold but you don’t want the hassle to start the day. It’s just two dogs, no big deal. So, you take them around and point–one-two. The steward has the ribbons sorted and ready to go. You hand out the first and winners ribbon, and the second and reserve ribbon, mark your book and get ready for the specials.
