Everyone Loves A Loser
“All the world loves a winner and has no time for a loser.” This quote is attributed to Knute Rockne, the indomitable head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and member of the College Football Hall of Fame. This may very be true, but over the last few years I have developed a theory that, in actuality, “everybody loves a loser.” Someday, I have promised myself to take a poll, but it is my firm belief that a lot of us–including many long time, highly successful breeders–have had a pretty sad specimen of the breed wandering aimlessly somewhere in our early beginning. I freely admit it.
Been There Done That – Whimsy and Wisdom From the Dog Shows
It’s impossible to be at every dog show. Wouldn’t it be great if we could? Here is the opportunity to “Read All About It!” Well…maybe it’s not everything. When you go to your next show, here are lots of subjects worth discussing. Look around, there is a lot to see, hear, remember, or forget. Isn’t that the truth!
Tax Exempt Status For Your Dog Club
Many people think that just creating a nonprofit corporation and conducting business as a nonprofit makes the organization tax-exempt. That is far from the truth. Incorporating a nonprofit in the state of formation merely establishes it as a legal business entity. Having tax-exempt status means that the net profits of the organization are exempt from federal income taxes. Certain states allow state-level tax-exempt status, and in such cases, the net profit is also exempt from payment of state income taxes.
Ch. Rock Falls Colonel
Participants in this sport have become conditioned to gauge everything by the numbers. Obviously, statistics provide a clear determination of the facts. Problem is that they never tell the whole story. To make my point, I would like to recap the life of a dog that hopefully rings a bell for every CC reader–even though his glorious show career spanned the 1950s AND he didn’t grab the record in question.
Remembering Lee Herr
We received the sad news that Lee Herr of Mesa, AZ has passed away at 70 years old.
Talking Taxes With Breeders For Breeders
Every couple of years there is a hearing of a Congressional Oversight Committee where they address the concerns of average American taxpayers with representatives of the Internal Revenue Service. One of the concerns has always been the amount of time it takes the average person to complete their individual 1040 tax return. And, almost always, the Commissioner or one of their deputies responds, “On average, the ordinary individual can complete their tax return in about twenty minutes.”
