Looking Back With Lee – Will The Real Professional Handler Please Stand Up?
One would have to be far out of the loop if they weren’t catching some of the controversy that has been escalating of late when it comes to the topic of the Owner vs. the Professional Handler. I think my recent articles may have precipitated others to pen their thoughts on this hot button. Oh well…I might have been one of the first…but I won’t be the last to try and figure out what the disconnect on this might be.
Table Talk · October 14, 2020
There was a shortage of stewards in Mason City, Iowa this past weekend. Some judges had to handle their ring on their own. These situations are more prevalent than normal due to the current crazy times. If you are available during the day, or have a few-hour break, checking in with the show chair to see if you can help out would be appreciated! If we all pitch in a bit, clubs will not get frustrated and throw in the towel!

The Big E – Emotions Up and Down
Let’s do a reality check. If we can be really honest with ourselves, we have been on an emotional rollercoaster for more than six months now. Just like the rollercoaster ride at a favorite amusement park, our daily lives share those same ups and downs. Excitement or anticipation best describes how we feel at the beginning of the ride. That first surge as the cars climb the metal structure heading for the peak brings a burst of pleasure or concern. Heading straight down into the depths of the steel valley below either feels screamingly fun or scary beyond words. By the end of the fifteen minutes of terror or delight, off we go. Some of us are eager to go on the same ride again. Others swear, never again. Our reactions are personal–reflections of who we are.
Royal Dog Of Madagascar – The History of the Coton de Tulear
AKC exhibitors have become accustomed to new breeds popping up in the group lineups. In many respects, their presence represents a refreshing turnaround from AKC’s traditional begrudging reluctance to admit new breeds. They didn’t do it very often, and when they did, the process was generally a chaotic affair. Over the years, breeds have been admitted to the studbook sans viable gene pools, written standards, or organized clubs.
