Did You Know – Some Changes Are Good
Sometimes I get a distinct feeling many don’t “actually” read all the rules regarding exhibiting dogs at AKC shows. That includes both exhibitors and judges.
My Alaskan Adventure
About a year ago I met Tom Schonberger at a show where we were on the same judge’s panel. In our discussions, he told me he breeds Siberian Huskies and also his passion is the sport of mushing with his dogs–especially long-distance mushing. I received an invitation to judge in Alaska in November and told him my desire to go on one of his training runs and watch the dogs work in harness.

Remembering, Barbara Humphries-Gossett
Anyone seriously contemplating a long-term relationship with this sport confronts a startling realization early on. You can do it the right way or the wrong way–because either choice can lead to success. Ethics is the thing. Despite official rhetoric to the contrary plenty of people succeed in dogs without a shred of ethics or morality. And, as we know, the right way is generally not the easy way. And that brings us to Barbara Humphries Gossett. The dog world lost Barbara in September but she left a legacy to this sport that is in drastically short supply.

Jim The Wonder Dog
Every year thousands of dog show exhibitors head East on 1-70 toward St. Louis and Purina farms. On their way, on I-70, about an hour-and-a-half east of Kansas City, Missouri, they pass the exit for the town of Marshall, population 13,065. Marshall is the Saline county seat, but that’s not what its famous for–Marshall was the site of the 1937 National Corn Shucking contest, which drew a record 120,000 attendance. But that’s not what it’s famous for either. Marshall has all the things you expect to see in small town America: an old county courthouse, veterans’ memorial, antique shops and a big statue of a dog. That’s what makes Marshall famous.
