Another day of unremitting rain continues to fall on the wilds of Western New Jersey. For more than a week, we have been under continuous flash flood alerts. I am looking out the large windows in front of me, as I sit at the kitchen island, and all I can see is the water dripping from the canvas cover over the dogs’ large pen. Beyond that the foothills of the Appalachians are obscured by the mist and rolling fog. The windmill which pumps water on this farm property is enjoying a rest from the many battles it has fought when the strong winds have blown through relentlessly. It is a relic of the 1940s, but still in good working condition today.

If you have a Dachshund or small terrier, you may have already discovered that they are prone to digging up the back yard or a garden bed. Maybe you have seen your dog chase a squirrel across the yard and up a tree, or it could be that they caught a mouse, chipmunk or some other rodent and left it partially eaten by the back door.

Walking into the exhibition hall of The Big E in Springfield, MA, to meet the handler for the first time, I knew or even understood very little about the sport of purebred dogs. While my dog is currently off traveling with his handler, I still know very little, and yet I know more than I thought I ever would. Until 2018, I knew nothing of the breed ring outside of watching Best in Show which came out in the early 2000s. I wasn’t aware of the prestigious honor it was to be at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. Have you ever seen the movie Karate Kid that came out in 1984? Have you heard of the World Open Martial Arts Championship (WOMAC) held each year in New York? I am most comfortable with Martial Arts and the hype of the Karate Kid franchise. Much like the martial arts industry and competitions, more is happening at a dog show behind the scenes that media platforms only sometimes present. Below are five concepts of competing in martial arts that have made the transition into the dog world easier and enhanced my team’s place in the martial arts venue.

“Well, honey,” she said excitedly as she exited the ring, “she finally finished. Now, we can breed her and have a litter of puppies.” The husband’s response was, “It only took four years, five months and an odd number of days.” Then he added, “I think that’s a great idea.”

That was my first thought when I checked out Toco, the Japanese media sensation who reportedly has spent $14,000 to satisfy his lifelong dream of transforming himself into a Collie. His journey from human to Collie has already garnered an enormous social media fan club–32,000 YouTube subscribers according to a recent NY Post story. By way of explanation he said, “Do you remember your dreams from when you are little? You want to be a hero or a wizard…” Yeah well, I wanted to be a mermaid and I’m still waiting for that one.

Identity and Restraint: Art of the Dog Collar, is a model exhibit, doing everything museum exhibits should do–entice, astonish, and inform.The exhibition developed through a partnership between the National Sporting Library & Museum (NSLM) in Middleburg, Virginia, and The AKC Museum of the Dog in New York City. This unique show presents an array of dog collars from the NSLM’s collection–187 collars that were donated in 2015 by Dr. and Mrs. Timothy J. Greenan. And this eye-catching collection is partnered with fine art from The AKC Museum of the Dog and American Kennel Club Collections. Visitors to the exhibit can gain understanding of the collar as both art and utilitarian object and how its design changed in relation to different dog breeds and their uses.
