Neighbor-vs.-neighbor altercations are a classic source of legal nightmares. Driveway access, backyard parties, trees, garbage cans… the list is endless. However, one particular issue tends to ignite truly vicious fights. You know where this is going. Yes, dogs are the source of countless ugly neighbor-vs.-neighbor disputes. We had a headline example of that here on Long Island a few years ago. The defendant in this case—which went all the way up the legal food chain—is Peter Galantino, a rather prominent Rockville Centre resident. He also owned a Goldendoodle. His neighbors, James and Elizabeth Joyce, also own dogs, including a four-pound Yorkshire Terrier named Mocha.

In a sense, every dog has always been a Working breed. Every one of them performed a specific job. In the 19th century, that broad job description was abandoned in favor of increasingly precise purebred classifications. Today, Working breeds have become highly specialized and compartmentalized into very specific roles. That can lead us to overlook the fact that canine utility was the spark that drove the entire evolutionary process–and that extended far beyond the wolf-to-dog transformation. It is debatable whether our species would have survived or thrived to populate so many parts of the world without canine assistance.

Here’s my premise: Judges’ Ed has greater importance in rare breeds than it does in other breeds. I’m not saying it isn’t always important, or that more popular breeds matter less, or that the presentations shouldn’t always be high quality and presented in a useful and unbiased way.

Since its founding, AKC has enacted an impressive collection of rules and guidelines. They’re never in short supply. The problem is trying to read them and hopefully apply the appropriate reasoning to any given situation. And that is truly a nightmare, mainly because, like every legal code, many sections of the AKC rules are vague, others are contradictory, and more frequently than anyone cares to admit it becomes very hard to decide whether something is permitted or prohibited. Formal regulations are designed to inform, educate, and rein in chaos. So, yes, the current system needs a bit of sprucing up.

Whenever a major canine event is assigned to the ENCI (Italian Kennel Club), three things are guaranteed: amazing atmosphere, fabulous food, and organized chaos. However, the 2026 World Dog Show in Bologna was a well-run, professional affair with just a touch of Italian drama to add to the flavour. Parking, the layout of the rings, communication between exhibitors, and the Best In Show ring were indeed very much up to the standards. This world show, along with the 2024 edition in Zagreb, was by far the most atmospheric of the past 20 years.

I have had numerous conversations with fellow fanciers about the judging approval process that has been changed over the years. Aspiring judges consistently discuss the difficulty and expense of the current process. The analogy that sticks in my head is it takes 9 years to become a physician, and the process to become an AKC multiple […]
