Some of you may recall that back in May, Blizzard, a Miniature American Shepherd, got away from her handler at the Midland, Texas shows. Despite many exhibitors working very hard to try to find her and get her home–they even used a drone and an animal tracker–she was not found. Blizzard was new to dog shows. I believe this was the first time she was off the farm, and she was scared. Fast-forward nearly three months and a dog that resembles her gets stuck in a farmer’s fence nearly 5 hours away! A friend of the farmer posted the photograph on a Lost Pets group on social media, and that post was seen by a lab fancier nearby. That got the ball rolling. I am very pleased to report that Blizzard was reunited with her owner, Kayla Starnes, on Monday! This happy ending is due to so many people’s efforts and the power of the positive use of social media! Thank you to everyone who had a hand in helping to find Blizzard! Here’s hoping Kayla and Blizzard have a lot less excitement the next time she ventures off the farm!!!

You pay your entry fee, take your chances, and hopefully, the judge is well-educated in your breed. Your entry fee is the fee to evaluate your dog. You are paying for one judge’s opinion. What if you disagree? What if, in your opinion, the judge is way off base? When, if ever, is it appropriate to approach the judge about the placements?

Westminster is easy to take for granted—if you aren’t on the staff or show committee. Each year in February, mid-town Manhattan spends a week celebrating purebred dogs. The main event is, of course, the benched conformation show, where spectators could count on watching virtually every AKC-recognized breed compete. But there is much more to “Westminster Week”—the obedience and rally competition, the vendors—even the myriad other shows that precede it. Every year, it all materializes—the banners, the floral displays, the portraits of past winners, the purple velvet ropes and green flooring—certainly it must take a lot of effort, but somehow, each year everything reappears. Exhibitors might complain about the expense of attending, NYC traffic, and the inconvenience of schlepping dogs, tables, and tack from mid-town to the Piers for the breed judging; but for most, showing here was on a bucket list, if not an annual tradition.
