The Great Ones – The Red Torch
Charisma! That’s an often-used word in top show dog circles today. If a champion show dog has this indefinable essence, its chances of making it to the heights of the show world are greatly increased. As glamorous as dog showing has become, it’s easy to understand why modern fanciers might believe that they invented the word charisma but, of course, they would be wrong.

Breed Essence With Jane

The Shape of Things That Hunt
While I wish I had coined the phrase “Long, Low, Liver-Lookers,” full attribution goes to the late, great Richard Beauchamp. While the phrase, unfortunately, applies to an assortment of breeds for which it should not apply, it can be especially dreadful in sporting breeds. Only two sporting breeds are supposed to be long and low. (None of the sporting breeds are required to be liver-lookers).
