This is the opening number of Cole Porter’s Broadway musical Kiss Me Kate, and it came naturally to mind as I looked back on the Westminster Kennel Club’s past, present, and still-to-be determined future.

The Curly-Coated Retriever is the tallest and thought to be the oldest of the recognized retriever breeds. Retrievers developed later than some other sporting breeds, becoming popular and useful when guns began to be used for hunting.

The Big E – Erosion
Recently, I went to a meeting for my specialty breed club at a long-established, local all-breed show. The show is held at a very comfortable air-conditioned place for our club members to show dogs and have our meeting during the summer. The club gets a major entry from us. We shop the vendors, have a bite to eat, and enjoy each other’s company. Even the parking exceeds expectations with plenty of nearby spaces in the shade. The venue is clean, bright, and has restrooms. All this seems absolutely perfect.

Did You Know: There Is A Lot To Know?
I bet you didn’t know that there are reams of booklets, links, and printed pages that cover every conceivable detail about all things AKC. If you’re a new owner of an AKC-registered dog, I know you’re so proud that you have “Papers” on “Fido.” I hope you have figured out that a pedigree listing their heritage is not the “papers” you really want and need. I’ll take a leap of faith and assume the breeder you bought your dog from either sat with you and had you sign the “blue slip” from the litter registration or at least provided you with it to send in on your own; and it included their signature as “breeder(s) of record”. In this techie era, one can do it online as well…but I do know that verifiable signatures are still required, and you have to choose a name for your new pup.
