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.

The Parent Club Solution – Maintaining Power or Losing Control?. In the June 2024 edition of SHOWSIGHT, Doug Johnson’s article titled, “The Parent Club Dilemma” highlighted a pervasive problem in the sport that is detrimental to its future. I’d like to share my thoughts on this very important concern and take it a little further by considering not only the issues Doug touched on but also by looking at some of the overall issues fanciers deal with that ultimately build resentment and distrust towards breed clubs. Implementing the solution proposed in this article can go a long way to strengthen clubs by creating trust towards them instead of negativity.

If shelter dogs could talk, we’re pretty sure they’d have a common answer regarding the hardest part of being a shelter resident: watching visitors walk past them as though they don’t exist. One such dog experiencing this heartbreaking reality is Norman, a 4-year-old Terrier Mix currently at the Miami-Dade Animal Services. Norman isn’t like the rest of the shelter dogs, and that’s because he’s one of the longest residents there.

Warning: These Dog Breeds Are a Nightmare for First-Time Owners!

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, July 2017 issue. We have been asked to write about the Newfoundland Dog. My name is Kim Griffith, Owner, Breeder, and Handler of Newfoundlands for over 50 years. My wife and best friend, Gigi, has lived with the Newfoundland for nearly 40 years. I am a member of the Newfoundland Judges Education committee, and we are both mentors. This breed is dear to our hearts, and our experience in the breed is both in working events and in conformation. The Newfoundland is first and foremost a “people” dog. These dogs love to rest or work beside their owners. They are great caregivers and nurturers of the small and the weak.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, August 2013 issue. The Saint Bernard has long been a faithful companion of mankind from unique life-saving work beginning in the 1700s to an outgoing unhurried temperament with great intelligence as a companion dog. Saint Bernards are powerful, proportionately tall, strong, and muscular in every way. The original Saint Bernard was a shorthaired dog, but both short and long-haired dogs are readily seen today. Dogs at the shoulder are 27½ inches minimum height, and bitches are 25½ inches according to the Approved AKC Standard. Dogs of today are usually much taller than the minimums. The Saint Bernard Club of America (SBCA) maintains that the only standard that correctly describes the original type is the Swiss Standard of 1884. Thus, the currently approved American Kennel Club standard differs only slightly from the original Swiss Standard. Saint Bernards serve faithfully today in many rewarding, fun, and challenging activities in which owners participate. The Saint Bernard is shown in Conformation, Obedience, Rally Obedience, Tracking, Weight Pull, Agility, Draft Test, Therapy Dog, and Canine Good Citizen.
