We are offering one final class for the year!

Tuesdays at Old Trace Park at 6:30 we will be holding an Advanced CGC class beginning November 10th with our instructor Angel! It is a 7 week class with the final class being a CGC test with one of JOTCs wonderful evaluators.

This is for students who have taken our beginner class (or approved by JOTC for higher level classes), handlers who need specific help with CGC testing items, or those who simply just want a refresher course!

You can sign up at Jotc.org today!

From The October Issue of : You’ve Shown Dogs For 20 Years. Have You Ever Stewarded?

By Sandy Weaver

How many dog shows have you attended? Fifty? Five hundred? Enough that you can identify the sound of a grooming table collapsing from three buildings away?

Now another question: How many times have you stewarded?

We have exhibitors who can explain—in breathtaking detail—everything a judge did wrong in their ring on Saturday, yet who have never spent a day sitting beside one. Maybe it’s time.

Two Breeds Continue to Take Steps Forward in AKC Recognition

The American Kennel Club has approved changes in recognition status for two breeds, effective June 30, 2027.

The Dutch Shepherd will advance to full AKC recognition and become eligible to compete in the Herding Group.

The American Bulldog will move from the Foundation Stock Service into the Miscellaneous Class. This update comes as the National American Bulldog Club has now been approved as its parent club.

For the breeders and enthusiasts who have worked to preserve and promote these breeds, these decisions represent important milestones on the road to hopeful full recognition status.

Read more about both breeds, what the changes mean, and the road to full AKC recognition at Dog News.
