Are You Ready for a System Change?
The American Kennel Club offers 35 different kinds of competition through a network of more than 5,000 clubs, 130,000 breeders and 23,000 events. Some venues garner more attention, interest and support than others and, historically, the most popular of these competitions has been the conformation dog show which unfortunately is now is in its 15th year of declining entries.

Table Talk – May 1, 2019
We regularly talk about how many dog shows there are week-in and week-out across the country. Many of our friends feel that there are too many dog shows, while there is a small percentage of exhibitors located in an “under-served” area with significantly fewer shows than in most other parts of the country.

Decrypting The Codebook – The Dogs are in Charge!
The other day, a friend of mine sent me a t-shirt that gets to the nub of my relationship with my dogs. It says, “The dog is in charge. I just pay the bills.” It’s true that the dogs, over the years, have created a very well-trained human. I buy their food and serve it to them on their schedule. I provide their recreation, frequently at their insistence when I’m most busy trying to meet a deadline or, during the months when the area where I live is ruled by King Boreas, in the most godawful cold imaginable. There is NO clothing that both allows you to throw bumpers and stay warm when the wind chill is at minus-57. If you live south of I-70 you’ll have to trust me on that because I have had a considerable amount of experience trying to do both and failing. At the slightest hint that all might not be beer and skittles in their lives physically, they are rushed immediately to the best medical care available.

This day celebrates that purebred dogs not only provide […]
