Did you guess the identity of the young dog show Handler in our last #ThrowbackThursday photo?
The American Kennel Club® (AKC), world’s largest purebred dog registry and leading advocate for dogs, has joined with the California Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) and the Animal Health Institute (AHI) in making a joint public statement opposing the proposed California Assembly Bill 1881.
A short-legged, long-tailed dog greeted 12-year-old Jinnie Strickland when she stepped off the school bus.

New York, NY – The top Agility dogs in the nation were crowned from an overall combined entry of more than 1,300 competitors at the AKC National Agility Championship, brought to you by presenting and official sponsors YuMOVE and The Farmer’s Dog. The high energy competition was held April 1 – 3 at the World Equestrian Center in Ocala, FL.
Dogs with conformation championships and field titles are of immense importance to the future of virtually every sporting breed. “Nonsense,” say the people whose canine world begins and ends with the show ring. “Baloney,” is the snort from those folks whose philosophy is, “If a dog is a good hunter, who cares how it looks.”
“Elderly gentlemen’s hunting companion” was a description I heard of Clumber Spaniels long ago and which I like, although I didn’t see it on the parent club’s web site and so it may be politically incorrect. The history of the breed has many theories, but is not well-documented. The name was derived from Clumber Park, an estate of the Duke of Newcastle in Nottinghamshire, England. The Duke’s gamekeeper is credited with developing Clumber Spaniels over two hundred years ago.
