Preview of AKC National Championship Presented by Royal Canin
It must be “write about dog shows” day. Just after my earlier post, I received this in my in-box from the American Kennel Club.
We are excited to announce that in its 17th year, the AKC National Championship presented by Royal Canin has again drawn the largest entry in the history of the event!

DVR Alert: National Dog Show
The big National Dog Show will be broadcast, as always, right after the Macy’s Parade on Thanksgiving. If your television will be stubbornly stuck on football all day, check in here. Since my family celebrated early this year, I’ll be able to watch the show beginning to end and will bring you all the highlights live. (Or as live as I can do for a taped television show!)
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
October: A Special Month
Time is running out on October, but I wanted to remind you of two designations this month carries: National Adopt A Shelter Dog Month, and National Pit Bull Awareness Month.
Sounds to me like a great time to visit your local shelter and adopt a Pittie.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!
