Last autumn, my husband and I attended both of our breeds’ regional club Fall Events, one being a puppy fun match, the other an overall “fun” day. Rescues are always welcome at these events and one club even has a Rescue Parade. While I’m thankful for the never-ending volunteer “job” our rescue folks do in finding these homes, many of them need “Dog Ownership 101” classes before showing up at an event with an abundance of other dogs of the same breed.
Best remembered for revitalizing ballroom dancing, they also popularized far more scandalous dance trends like the foxtrot, turkey trot, ragtime, tango, and their namesake Castle Walk. This chic acting/dancing couple ranked as cutting edge trendsetters. You can thank Irene for introducing the rail-thin, waiflike silhouette, cropped hair, and short skirts that heralded the flapper era a decade later.

by Joan Harrigan We’ve all seen Rin Tin Tin’s acts of heroism on the silver screen or read about heroic dogs rescuing drowning victims or finding lost children. But it is not every day that one hears about a puppy—less than 4-months-old—prompting his owner to seek medical treatment and perhaps saving her life as a […]
By Joan Harrigan The crowds were back in full force on Tuesday. Vendors who complained about a slow start and worried that the Purina and Westminster displays kept customers from finding them found their booths packed with customers. Over at Pier 94, Morgan Avila of Lynbrook, N.Y. drew quite an audience with her Leonberger, Ch. […]
By Amy Fernandez Last night’s Toy Group capped off a day characterized equally by predictability and surprises at the Piers. Judge Keke Kahn didn’t think twice, awarding Group First to the show stopping Min Pin bitch, GCH Marlex Classic Red Glare. Now four years old, Classie’s been a consistent record breaker, racking up a career […]
By Amy Fernandez After day one, Westminster’s second year at the Piers is working better in some ways. But it’s far from perfect yet.
