Since its founding, AKC has enacted an impressive collection of rules and guidelines. They’re never in short supply. The problem is trying to read them and hopefully apply the appropriate reasoning to any given situation. And that is truly a nightmare, mainly because, like every legal code, many sections of the AKC rules are vague, others are contradictory, and more frequently than anyone cares to admit it becomes very hard to decide whether something is permitted or prohibited. Formal regulations are designed to inform, educate, and rein in chaos. So, yes, the current system needs a bit of sprucing up.

Well, that’s good news–kind of. Cindy Stansell, Chair of the AKC Rules Committee, is attempting to introduce a semblance of uniformity to our ancient rulebook. Cindy comes from a valuable perspective for this job. She started in Siberians back in the 1970s, exhibiting in both conformation and obedience. Since then, she has become best known for her wide-ranging judging career. She has plenty of experience deciphering the rules from both sides of the situation.

She says, “My primary goal is to introduce consistency by grouping like items together, using gender neutral terminology, simplifying the language and making it consistent across all AKC sports. I want everyone to read and understand the rules, but this becomes a challenge when you have read through multiple chapters and sections trying to comprehend a particular regulation.”

It seems like this would be a welcome change. But as we know, whenever and wherever, people automatically resist change. And the dog world being what it is, speculation and rumors often overtake truth. Disregard the misinformation and the noise. These changes are urgently needed and long overdue.

Whenever a major canine event is assigned to the ENCI (Italian Kennel Club), three things are guaranteed: amazing atmosphere, fabulous food, and organized chaos. However, the 2026 World Dog Show in Bologna was a well-run, professional affair with just a touch of Italian drama to add to the flavour. Parking, the layout of the rings, communication between exhibitors, and the Best In Show ring were indeed very much up to the standards. This world show, along with the 2024 edition in Zagreb, was by far the most atmospheric of the past 20 years.

Italy did fairly well with a judges panel where one could finally see a bit of an effort invested in proper judges, which included both high profile all-rounders and breeder-judges. More variation, however, is still very much needed when it comes to judges in the finals.

That said, the choice of this year’s Best In Show judge for the world dog show was just absolutely brilliant and I think we all agree there wasn’t a more deserving, gentleman of a judge for the role than Claudio de Giuliani. He started breeding and judging in the 1970s and has since written no less than twelve books, including the ‘Il Cane Corso Italiano’, a personal favourite of mine. He has enriched the sport with his knowledge and gentle demeanour in as many fields as one possibly can, and although this may not be my place to say, we generally consider him as one of the best judges in the world today.

He found his Best In Show winner in the lovely Italian Greyhound, Tanuzza dei Raggi di Luna, and Reserve Best in Show in the Pomeranian, Artistry’s Aslan All That Is Good.

The Group winners and judges at the FCI World Dog Show were as follows:

132 – August, 2026

I have had numerous conversations with fellow fanciers about the judging approval process that has been changed over the years.  Aspiring judges consistently discuss the difficulty and expense of the current process.

The analogy that sticks in my head is it takes 9 years to become a physician, and the process to become an AKC multiple group judge can take just as long.  We have lost many beloved all-arounders over the last few years, and as a result putting a judging panel together for a dog show is challenging. While I believe the AKC is trying to address the shortage of multiple group, or all-around judges, fanciers have a responsibility to do their part and assist aspiring judges to complete the mentorship requirements included in the process.

Over the years I have welcomed the opportunity to mentor aspiring judges in my breed.  I have had varied experiences with the many mentoring sessions I have hosted.  On the positive side, I have met with several individuals who came to the session fully prepared.  They read the breed standard and did their homework.  It is a pleasure to spend time with people who take mentorship seriously.  It is not difficult to determine if the individual I am speaking with is there to learn, or simply wants their form signed.  On the other hand, I have experienced many that have come to me at a show, form in hand, and asked me to “just sign the form”.  My answer is, ‘No’.

I sincerely believe that our obligation to the sport of purebred dogs is to maintain the integrity of this portion of the judges’ approval process.  Rubber stamping a form without spending the time to ensure you have shared knowledge of your breed with that person, and confirming they have a thorough understanding of your breed is, in my opinion, a disservice to the breed and the sport.

While I am discussing the topic of judging, Tom’s August issue Publisher’s Comments https://bt.e-ditionsbyfry.com/publication/?i=868227&p=12&view=issueViewer asks a very good question:  Who would you trust to buy a dog for you?  I am going to take that one step farther:  Would you show to a judge who you would not ask to buy a dog for you? A well-respected judge had the following advice:

“Don’t fall in love with a judge just because they like your dog – ask yourself if you would let them buy a dog for you!”

This past week, the hard-working volunteers of the Keystone Cluster held their shows at the Lebanon Valley Expo Center in Lebanon, PA.  Once again, the cluster did not disappoint.  Fanciers enjoyed another terrific fundraising evening with one of the best raffles of the year shared with great times amongst friends.  Led by AKC judges Charlie Olvis and Liz Muthard, this cluster continues to get better and better!  Stay tuned for the results of this year’s fundraising activities.

I was deeply saddened to hear the sport has lost another long-time, dedicated handler and supporter.  Rick Baggenstos passed away on August 3, 2026.  Rick was a devoted fancier, dedicating most of his life to the sport of purebred dogs.  He earned the respect and friendship of countless fanciers and was known for his kindness and mentorship.  He will be remembered for the lasting influence he had on his family in the sport.  He will be sorely missed by all who knew him.  Our sincere condolences to Dinah, John, Jen, Luke, Rowan and the rest of the Baggenstos family at this difficult time.

Happy Anniversary to Tony Vacha and Courtney Kniola.  It is hard to believe that you lovebirds have been married for nine years!  Best wishes for continued happiness together!

Fanciers celebrating birthdays this week include Kathy Garcia, Amiko Allen, Earl Takahashi, Kay Peiser, David Salcido, Sandra Hickson, Susan Patterson, and Kim Lourier.  May this next trip around the sun be all you hope for, and more.

This week’s words of advice are: “Surround yourself with those who fight for you in rooms you are not in.”

I look forward to seeing those of you who will be in beautiful Santa Barbara!  Keep your eyes on our Facebook page for in-ring video coverage of the group and Best In Show throughout the four-day cluster.

Be safe out there, my friends.  May the week’s shows bring you cherished ribbons and memories.  Until next time…
