On December 12th and 13th, at the Long Beach Convention Center in the Greater Los Angeles area, Top Dogs from around the country and other parts of the world, will converge for the 125th Anniversary Celebration of the American Kennel Club, for the Eukanuba National Specialty and World Challenge. Please visit http://animal.discovery.com/convergence/eukanuba/akcchampionship/akcchampionship.html for information on top dogs, dog show etiquette, past champions, spectator participation, events, etc, or just AKC.org. Hummer will be amongst 38 other Newfoundlands in the breed competition on Sunday at 2pm where the Best of Breed will appear in the Group Ring on Sunday. First in Group will go on to compete for Best in Show. The Best in Show Winner will take home the $50,000 prize and the Breeder of the Winning Dog will take home $15,000. Conditioning, handling, and grooming all play a part, but mostly, conformation to the standard and showmanship will be the most important factors in the winning decision. The breeding, which takes into consideration all of the history of the breed and health issues, the size and coat, gait and personality of the dog, essentially, all of the work that goes into forming a new puppy and future of the breed, is in the hands of the Breeder. An incredible responsibility and expense, one of the most prestigious awards of this dog show goes to the Breeder of The Year. Regardless of the competitiveness of a dog, we dog owners want a personable dog, a dog who is easy to live with and who is intelligent and healthy. We want our pure-bred dog to be able to perform tasks for which they were bred. We want our dog to have their innate instincts and to be able to hunt, guard, swim, guide, and track. Besides being a soul companion, we want our dogs to have the abilities and sensibilities that is in the blueprint of their genes. Each and every breeder who has a dog in this competition should be very proud, because they did a great job to present a dog who is recognized worldwide. Whether it is a Pointer, a Scottish Terrier, a Newfoundland, Labrador, Standard Poodle, or any other pure breed, it is because of caring and conscientious breeding that we are able to recognize not only the breed, but the behaviour of that breed to the standard within which they have been bred. Hummer and I look forward to being amongst some of the top dogs in the world, with dogs who mean the world to us.
