Looking Back…To “The One and Only” Dorothy Nickles
On paper, one might be surprised Dorothy would be our poster child for all things bright and beautiful. Many would fondly say she was more of a pin-up girl than a poster child; she had that obsequious innocence that cast off a hint of sultriness and sex appeal. She was born in 1910 as one of seven siblings.
The Big E – Echoes Of The Past
To see the future, it is a worthy task to reflect upon the past. Examining the past offers a road map of the present and a peek into the future. These markers braid themselves into a continuum of what has been, what is, and what could be. It is an assessment which offers a view into what works well, what does not, and what can be tweaked with a myriad of improvements. Time, contemplation, and momentum are the tools for making these adjustments. From there, the next path to follow becomes clearer.

The History Of The Lancashire Heeler
Back in 1983 the Herding Group was the culmination of decades of controversy. AKC is notoriously resistant to change. And their longstanding approach of admitting breeds rarely and reluctantly was clearly not a permanent solution. The Working Group, created to alleviate this rising tide back in 1923, inevitably became overstuffed with some of the sport’s most popular breeds. The abrupt and enormous popularity of breeds like Collies and German Shepherds was, likewise, something AKC did not anticipate. However, those floodgates truly opened after World War II when Americans fell in love with so many of the breeds that comprised Europe’s traditional canine workforce.
