Great advice! Do you have a plan for what will happen to your dogs in case you die? If not, now is the time to make one!!

From The July Issue of : Be Prepared – Plan Ahead!
By By Margaret DiCorleto

No one wants to think about getting old or sick, but as responsible dog owners, we must think about what would happen to our dogs if we became incapacitated or died. Everyone should have a written plan for the care for their dogs in the event of an accident, illness, or death. Share this plan with the significant people in your life! Every day we hear about dogs that end up homeless or confiscated because the owner couldn’t care for them. Do not assume that family members will be willing or able to take on the responsibility of caring for your beloved pets!

Plan Ahead

Regardless of your health today, have a plan for your dogs in the event of temporary or permanent disability or death. The best way to do this is with an attorney familiar with these issues, but even an online Power of Attorney form, properly witnessed, is better than nothing. Post Emergency Care and contact instructions in an easily found location in your home or kennel. Authorize AKC registration/ownership to be made on your behalf if you are incapacitated or dead.

Interesting question.

From The June Issue of : Should Purebreds Be Purebred?
By Caroline Coile

The AKC was established in 1884 with the stated purpose of protecting and advancing purebred dogs. Part of its charter states that its objectives are “generally to do everything to advance the study, breeding, exhibiting, running, and maintenance of the purity of thorough-bred dogs.”

The AKC maintains breed purity by guarding the sanctity of its studbook, which is closed to new entries sometimes after a breed is recognized and considered to have sufficient purebred founders. There have been exceptions, of course. The Kennel Club has similar rules but has allowed exceptions. Nobody cares anymore about the well-documented fact that of the 14 founding dogs of the Shih Tzu breed, one was a Pekingese. That cross occurred in 1952, which was 12 years after the breed was recognized in the UK. It’s said that the presence of this cross delayed AKC’s acceptance of the Shih Tzu, but they did ultimately accept them in 1969–even if they did have a pinch of Peke.

But of course, we all know perhaps the majority of breeds are crossbreds, created by mixing a bit of this breed with a smidgeon of that breed and a pinch of yet another. Creating a new breed was often the passion of the landed gentry...

Do you know when you buy from a reputable, responsible SS breeder that you aren't just buying a puppy, but you're helping to preserve the breed itself? Preservation breeders don't focus on profit or breeding just any two dogs together; they make careful pairings in an effort to stay true to the original ideal specimen of the SS breed. Each puppy from a preservation breeder carries a rich history and they are a true living legacy of all the dogs that came before it.

Shout out to one of our closest relative breeds, the giant schnauzer! NOT the same breed as the glorious and original stanard schnauzer that started it all 😉, but not a bad runner-up as far as schnauzers go 😂.

The Giant Schnauzer is a larger and more powerful version of the Standard Schnauzer and should be a “bold and valiant figure of a dog."

Why do you love the breed?
