To honor the memory of my Dad, Sam Lampert, who was a New Jersey dairy farmer, Bolt, my 6-year-old, parti-color Cocker Spaniel GCH. Topaz Palm Beach Playboy CD BN RM CGCA TKE, and I attempted the AKC Farm Dog Certified Title (FDC) on Father’s Day weekend run by Burlington County Kennel Club at Ev-Ry Farm in Mount Laurel, New Jersey.

Seeing so many brand new exhibitors enter the ring recently made me consider the way judges treat these newcomers and experienced exhibitors, too. What qualities are desirable in the ring to make everyone feel comfortable and to promote good sportsmanship? If we can encourage those traits in one another, we are bound to improve the sport.
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!!!
