by Gareth Morgan-Jones Originally published: November 2012 Whilst recently preparing to conduct Provisional/Permit assigments in a number of Sporting breeds, the occasion arose to once more thoroughly review their respective standards. Yet again something really stood out like a sore thumb. Call it an incongruity or a notable lack of consistency in terms of the degree [...]
My first introduction to “the greats” of our sport was a little unconventional. It was in Lakeland, Florida, I was twelve, and said “greats” were stuck on-site in a motorhome. They were also desperately in need of two cart-fulls of groceries to celebrate their recent Best in Show wins. My mentor and I divided and conquered–each taking a cart and scrambling around the store to collect what they needed. I remember pulling up to the massive truck, trailer, and what seemed to be thirty or more x-pens. I was enamored; I’d never met one of my idols before. They thanked us generously, and we went on our way, but in just those few moments, I knew I needed to play a role in an operation like that one. I would, just three years later, go on to work for them and continue to shop for those Best in Show dinners. Sometimes, I wonder what would have happened to me if they hadn’t asked for my help that day. Would I have ever felt like learning from them was possible?

by Amy Fernandez Fancy grooming has attracted controversy from the moment a dog show met a hairbrush. To the uninformed observer, much of it looks weird and decadent, suggesting something vaguely illicit going on behind the scenes. That sort of dodgy rationalizing isn’t confined to outsiders. That banner cry for the natural look is as [...]
