The Great Ones – Ch. Nunsoe Duc de la Terrace of Blakeen
Neither Aristotle nor a circus clown have anything on the Poodle. Gay, lively creatures, Poodles will lift your spirits and gladly solve any computer crisis if only given the opportunity and a set of opposing thumbs. But their most endearing gift is the love and admiration they bestow on those lucky enough to share their lives with such marvelous members of the canine race. So adored are they by the people who know them well that everyone who is about to step beyond the line marked “Poodles” is given fair warning, “Give your heart to a Poodle and you’ll never get it back.”

Everyone Loves A Loser
“All the world loves a winner and has no time for a loser.” This quote is attributed to Knute Rockne, the indomitable head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and member of the College Football Hall of Fame.

I freely admit it.
Been There Done That – Whimsy and Wisdom From the Dog Shows
It’s impossible to be at every dog show. Wouldn’t it be great if we could? Here is the opportunity to “Read All About It!” Well…maybe it’s not everything. When you go to your next show, here are lots of subjects worth discussing. Look around, there is a lot to see, hear, remember, or forget. Isn’t that the truth!
Tax Exempt Status For Your Dog Club
Many people think that just creating a nonprofit corporation and conducting business as a nonprofit makes the organization tax-exempt. That is far from the truth. Incorporating a nonprofit in the state of formation merely establishes it as a legal business entity. Having tax-exempt status means that the net profits of the organization are exempt from federal income taxes. Certain states allow state-level tax-exempt status, and in such cases, the net profit is also exempt from payment of state income taxes.
Ch. Rock Falls Colonel
Participants in this sport have become conditioned to gauge everything by the numbers. Obviously, statistics provide a clear determination of the facts. Problem is that they never tell the whole story. To make my point, I would like to recap the life of a dog that hopefully rings a bell for every CC reader–even though his glorious show career spanned the 1950s AND he didn’t grab the record in question.
