It's been over twenty-five years since actor/photographer Roddy McDowall died of lung cancer in 1998. McDowall, despite some career challenges, was one of that breed of rare former child actors who successfully transitioned into Hollywood adulthood. He was also, however, one of the industry's "openly closeted" actors, which came with its own sense of issues. This is his story.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, August 2014 issue. While we have been a member of the Judges Education Committee of the Collie Club of America for many years, it was in the last three terms that the greatest strides were made. Prior to that, several members of the committee had been approached by judges both new and old, who seemed to be somewhat confused as to the most important details to be concerned with when judging the Collie. It seems that whenever these individuals went to more than one presentation on judging the Collie, the presenters seemed to have different ideas as to what was most important, as well as having a different interpretation of the Standard.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, May 2014 issue. The Pumi is one of three Hungarian herding breeds, all of similar origin, representing regional variations within Hungary. The Puli originated in the eastern plains, the Mudi in the southern plains, and the Pumi in the hilly Transdanubian region of western Hungary. These breeds are so closely related that even today Pumi-appearing puppies can be born in Puli litters, and Mudi-appearing puppies could be born in Pumi litters. Understanding the close relationship between these breeds will assist a judge in their prioritization of dogs when judging each of these breeds. The three breeds vary the most in coat type, ear shape, and tails. The body types are quite similar, all calling for a square, light-bodied dog.

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, May 2015 issue. The Norwegian Elkhound Association of America holds a national specialty only once every two years. On the off or odd year, a member regional club will host a NEAA-sponsored specialty in conjunction with their own specialty. I just returned several days ago from judging NEAA’s show. This was such a huge honor. I had the pleasure of evaluating a number of good dogs. Our entries may be down, but there were a number of quality dogs and bitches from which to find the “one I wanted to take home.” I would like to describe for you the process used to make my choices. “Only a properly conditioned dog, square in profile and balanced in proportion, can perform effortlessly as he was bred to do thousands of years ago.” – Author unknown.

Judging the Norwegian Elkhound

This article was originally published in Showsight Magazine, February 2014 issue. The modern-day Bluetick Coonhound traces its origins to an importation of Grand Bleu de Gascognes from the Marquis de Lafayette to George Washington in 1785. These French Hounds were crossed with Washington’s hounds, which descended from hounds brought to America in 1650 by Robert Brooke. One Grand Bleu owned by George Washington was recorded as giving birth to 15 puppies, and Washington likened their musical voices to the “bells of Moscow.” The Grand Bleu was too slow on the trail to please the American hunter, but when bred to American hounds, it increased their cold-trailing ability and endurance. At the beginning of the 20th century, all hounds of Bluetick, Redtick, and Walker type were lumped into a group known as English Coonhounds. It is thought this was because they still resembled their heavy-boned English ancestors and were recognized by UKC as one breed, English Fox and Coon Hounds.

When your temper flares are you a raging bull? A vicious Virgo or a conniving Capricorn? Emotions are complex states that involve physiological, behavioral, and cognitive changes. They influence how we perceive the world around us, how we interact with others, and how we make decisions. However, our emotions are not the only factor that influences our behavior. Astrology can be a telling factor as well.
