The American Kennel Club recently published a press release (http://caninechronicle.com/breaking-news/akc-social-media-complaints/) regarding the handling of Social Media Complaints. The press release caused some immediate assumptions by keyboard warriors who were up in arms about what that they felt was AKC’s attempt to censor what some post online. After reading the press release and comments, I reached out to AKC executives for confirmation of my interpretation of the release which did not align with what some others had concluded. My understanding was confirmed. The recent press release was not the announcement of a new social media policy. The purpose of the communication was to inform the fancy that the Events Committees would no longer entertain complaints based on comments made in public forums. I was directed to a reply to a Facebook post on this subject authored by Tim Thomas, Vice President, Judging Operations, which included in part:
What are shows where only one breed of dog is shown called?
What’s life like for a professional handler? The general public sees them running around the ring on TV, winning huge rosettes, big silver bowls and gorgeous bronze sculptures. Owner-handlers often see them as their nemesis, and a few may assume that when they’re not showing dogs they’re hanging out with judges, talking dogs, and setting up who’ll be the winners at upcoming shows. Both groups of people might think professional handlers fly around on private jets, sipping champagne while they head for their next destination, limo and servants awaiting their every need, dogs in tow and cared for by someone else.
Did you guess the identity of the young professional dog show handler in our last #ThrowbackThursday photo?
Step back into the days of hippies, peace, love, and music. To all that add a dog show, too. The result is a joyous celebration, WOOFSTOCK.
With their habitats and food sources shrinking, coyotes are venturing closer to our neighborhoods and homes than we’d like.
