Welcome to our many friends around the world to the beautiful Winter issue of The Working/Herding Dog Digest. Seems like everyone is heading to Orlando, Florida for the 2025 A.K.C. National Championship. I’m looking forward to seeing all of our clients and many friends in the winner’s circle.
Doing an expected great job as one of our newest A.K.C. Representatives is Tara Rowell. While everyone associates Tara with Toy Breeds which is to be understandably expected but I wonder how many realize that her very first Group placement was with an Old English Sheepdog as well as making the Junior Showmanship finals with a Belgian Sheepdog
Always remember...New York, New York, if you can make it there you can make it ANYWHERE. The deadline for our Westminster issue is January 10th. Contact us today to reserve a very special ad in this once-a-year issue.
Why do you think more boys do not compete in Junior showmanship is a question I would love to ask the fancy? Feel free to either email me or send a PM on Facebook so I can put your responses in our next issue.
If you have a friend that Shows Bernese Mountain Dogs, Great Pyrenees, Belgian Sheepdogs, Malinois or Tervurens please have them contact me as we are doing special Breed Features on each of them in our next issue. Let’s make it EXTRA Special.
While looking thru old ad files I came across this amazing image and ad done by the one and only Lisa Croft Elliot and it really touched me in a special way and caused me to reflect on my own journey in this highly competitive dog publishing world. Now in our 23rd year of publishing– Step after step with each issue we have aspired to go higher and higher. What is your goal in 2026? My New Year wish for you is that you achieve that goal and even ones you NEVER even dreamed about.
