The Dog Show Drive

The Dog Show Drive!, We’re Back!We missed a week, but don’t worry,we haven’t driven off into the sunset just yet!This week on the Dog Show Drive, we’re asking a delicate question. When is long too long? We’re talking ears of course!Bloodhounds and Basset Hounds find themselves under the microscope as we take a closer look in to the controversary that arose overseas.Then we are off on another adventure into the world of performance sports.  This weeks stop is Scent Detection. So many clubs, so many organizations, and only one nose to figure it out.And finally, we dust off the pages of Kennel and Bench from 1939, where we discover something that leaves us scratching our heads. Was that actually a congratulations? Apparently, even back then, a compliment wasn’t always what it seemed.All that, a few laughs and a little history on this weeks episode of the Dog Show Drive!

The Dog Show Drive this weekWill and Y tackle the upcoming Canadian Kennel Club vote and the adventure that is navigating the CKC website. Sounds simple enough, doesn’t it? Well, you might need to pack a lunch, and bring a map, and perhaps have a little patience tucked away in your back pocket. Yikes!!Then, with Halloween just around the corner, we lighten the mood and head to the movies! But these aren’t your ordinary Halloween lassis. We’ve given our beloved dogs the starring roles!Politics, puppies, and a little Halloween.All that and more on the weeks Dog Show Drive!

This week on the Dog Show Drive There are certain people in the dog show world whose names become part of history. Andrew Brace is certainly one of them.This week, Will and Y reflect on Andrew’s remarkable career as he steps away from the judging ring. A career filled with wonderful dogs, memorable moments, and a lifetime of contributions to the sport we all love. Then, we head out of the show ring and into the great outdoors as we continue our journey through performance sports. This weeks destination? Pointing Breed Field Trials! Where good dogs, keen noses, an the occasional uncooperative bird reminds us that Mother Nature doesn’t always follow a rile book. All that and more, with a few stories and wrong turns on this weeks Dog Show Drive https://www.youtube.com/@DogShowTips https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61569880622789 https://www.leadingedgedogshowacademy.com/ https://showscene.ca/ https://www.canadiandogfancier.com/ https://www.purina.ca/pro-plan https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61574745825581

This week on the Dog Show Drive, we begin with something nobody particularly enjoys, admitting we may have gotten a few things wrong. Yes, we have a couple corrections from last week. Then, Will opens the file marked “ Things that grind my gears” and shares a few incidents from the other side of the ring markers. We continue our look at performance sports, and this week we’re heading to the great outdoors to explore field testing, where instinct, training, and a dog’s natural ability all come together. And finally we dust off the 1919 Kennel And Bench and discover some advertisements that were considered perfectly acceptable more than a century ago.  Corrections, confessions, field dogs, and 107 year old advertising  All that and more on this week’s Dog Show Drive!

This week on the Dog Show Drive, we’re putting on a few miles. First stop the legendary Montgomery County Kennel Club, quite simply the greatest terrier show on earth. We will take a look at the weekend, the dogs, and just how well the Canadians fared south of the border. Then we point the van west to Calgary for the Canadian Dog Judges Association Conference, where we discovered something rather surprising, judges don’t just gather to socialize. Apparently, there’s learning involved too. And finally, we crack open Kennel and Bench for an update on those very wealthy canines, the dogs who discovered that sometimes being a good boy really does pay off. All that, a few opinions, and probably a detour or two, on this week’s Dog Show Drive.
