“I have never seen a Siberian this great,” said the judge, adding, “the ear didn’t bother me.” Old timers will know immediately that the Siberian in question was Ch. Innisfree’s Sierra Cinnar, and “the ear” referred to his show-side ear that was missing the top third. The judge was E. Irving Eldredge, and the win? Best In Show at the 1980 Westminster Kennel Club.

Will Alexander has an in-depth conversation with Sidney Marx about dogs, how he got started in dogs, and his life in dogs.
While often misattributed to Mark Twain, it was Charles Dudley Warner who made the famous remark, “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it”. Well, in our sport, everyone complains about the Judging Approval Process. Unlike the weather, however, much has been done about it over many years.
The Cocker Spaniel was the most popular breed in the United States in the middle of the 20th century. The breed’s popularity may well have been spurred by a dog named Ch. My Own Brucie winning Best in Show twice at the Westminster Kennel Club dog show, or possibly another named Checkers owned by Vice President Nixon, and another starring in the popular movie “Lady and the Tramp.” The most recent AKC list ranks Cockers as 28th overall, the fifth most popular sporting breed.
