This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, June 2021 issue. The AKC Breed Standard states: “The Sussex Spaniel has a somber and serious appearance, and its fairly heavy brows produce a frowning expression.” The “somber and serious” part is misleading. People often say, “Oh, he looks so sad,” when a Sussex is just standing there thinking about what sort of mischief he can get into next.

Bichon Frise vs Maltese: What’s the Difference?

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, July 2015 issue. Just about the last breed you’d think of as a talented field dog would be the “froo-froo” Poodle. But the reality is that Poodles are one of the original versatile field/working dogs. The breed’s history, which dates back about 2,000 years, includes these charming curly dogs being used for everything from retrieving birds shot by arrow (predating firearms); herding flightless ducks into nets for the hunter; locating and retrieving arrows that have missed their mark; locating and digging truffles; and of course finding, flushing, and retrieving upland game birds as well as traditionally retrieving waterfowl. Once Poodles became fashionable in Europe, their agility and high level of intelligence and trainability led them to become stars in traveling circuses as well as highly sought companions for nobility and the common man. But what about now? The highly stylized coat commonly seen in the show ring has its roots in the field. The continental clip was developed for Poodles working in the field.

Considering the way that many dogs naturally take on the role as the leader of their pack, it makes sense that they wouldn’t be interested in befriending animals who are larger than they are. Not to mention that animals like horses are so big that they can be a little scary — imagine how it must feel to look up at one if you’re the size of an average dog. That can be a little (or a lot) intimidating, no matter how brave your dog is.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, November 2021 issue. In judging the Weimaraner, we must remember to seek type, as type is what distinguishes this breed from all others. The outline of the dog, sound movement, and head are of great importance. Our opening statement in the Breed Standard, ‘Above all, the dog’s conformation must indicate the ability to work with great speed and endurance in the field’ should be foremost in your mind once you determine that the dog has the correct outline. First, consider the side view from a distance. Is the outline of the dog rectangular? Why rectangular and not square or off-square? Because the back is moderate in length and you also have a well-developed and deep chest in front of those well-laid-back shoulders.
