This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, April 2017 issue. The era of foxhunting in England in the 1800s provided the necessity for the use of Sporting Hunt Terriers. These Terriers would work above and below ground to eradicate small vermin as well as to serve the fox hunting community bolting the fox from below ground so the hunt could continue chasing the fox. They were also very useful on farms to control the vermin population. The Russell Terrier was the ideal Sporting Terrier because of its small flexible chest, ideal size with its insatiable instinct to hunt vermin. Its small chest with a slimly built body made it possible for the Russell Terrier to traverse dens easily underground. Its flexible/compressible chest was very forgiving among the rocks and roots underground.

I am thinking that looking at the most formidable and dangerous people in our history might be a good way to make the determination of the most dangerous signs. Let’s see what we can learn.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, September 2013 issue. Anyone who lives with a Dandie or multiples of Dandies must possess two bones. The first is a strong backbone to maintain boundaries in the home as the Alpha individual. The Dandie, with his melting expression, can easily develop bad habits. Because a Dandie puppy is so “cute,” it is hard for a new owner to correct bad behavior. Don’t let that happen to you! The other bone is the most important: a funny bone. Through the years, I have managed to tap into my funny bone with all the antics the Dandies provide and want to share some of my favorites. Most show dogs have a very limited time in the show ring. Their roles as family members make them the memory keepers of our lives. They seldom forget the routines they enjoy with their owners. I am often asked if more than one Dandie can share their lives. One must remember Dandies are terriers.
