It’s a Dog-Eat-Dog World Out There and We Are Wearing Milk Bone Underwear
On February 10, 2013, the American Kennel Club disseminated the “Get the Facts” email alert in response to a story by the New York Times titled, “Safety Concerns Stoke Criticism of Kennel Club” published February 9, 2013. This story was run just before the televising of the 137th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and many will agree with my supposition that this story did not happen by chance but rather by design. Perhaps it is another example of opportunistic journalism leading up to the most publicized presentation of our passionate pursuit, the hobby or, in some cases, business of purebred dogs in our country.

What Do You Want From Me?
Lots of expectations on both sides of the equation. Lambert asks in his song, “What do you want from me?” His fans obviously want more hit songs, want to see him more, and want to buy more of his music. I hope this article has helped the reader form some new “wants” and expectations for the sport we all love. What would really be exciting is if we became the “American Idol” for our sport and share that energy with all around us. I believe our sport will be stronger if we all work to live up to each other’s expectations, satisfy our dog show-related wants, and support with all our energies this community many of us call “family”.
