Click here to read the complete article 168 – May, 2025 By Lori Sternola In my return to dog shows after a 25-year break, I have noticed a trend that seems pervasive. In looking at the larger breeds in the groups (not including Terriers) which are most tightly defined by purpose–Sporting, Hounds, Working, Herding–we seem [...]

I remember this day like it was yesterday, but in reality, it was thirty-nine years ago. I was showing my parents Irish setter; I was twenty-one and having some success. Let’s just say, I felt unbeatable. But world-renowned judge Mr. Fred Fraser felt otherwise. That day, we were very beatable. Being the cocky upstart, I didn’t hide my disappointment very well. This is no excuse, but I had been audience to poor behavior and I think somewhere inside my adolescent head, I felt that was correct behavior for the injustice I had just endured.

Junior Showmanship has long been a popular sport for the children of professional handlers, dog show enthusiasts, and other young people between the ages of nine and eighteen. The practice of good sportsmanship plays an important role in creating a positive and supportive environment for juniors to thrive in recreationally.
If your cultural institution is approaching its 150th anniversary, there are two ways to celebrate. Draw attention to its past–mention that it is the second-oldest sporting event in America, recently returned to its traditional venue, Madison Square Garden. Or note its venturesome present and new partnership with a state-of-the-art multipurpose site–the Javits Center. Remind people that it exists to celebrate the human/canine bond. Or, try something new–become part of the publicity campaign for a major motion picture that celebrates that bond.
Contrary to pervasive media portrayals, the reality of this sport is there are endless demands and trade-offs–because 99 percent of the participants have substantial commitments to jobs and families.
