My, how things have changed in our world. Perhaps you have noticed this as well. Daily tasks which were easy to accomplish seem to have become more complicated than ever. Every promise that new and better ways to do simple tasks are helping us is far from the truth. Confronting larger issues creates even more difficulties. There does not seem to be a day that goes by without some issue–or more than one–which befuddles us.

More recently, I flew home to Florida to work a show and looked around…Where did they all go? This experience, coupled with recent discourse, has left me considering the role of assistants and their future in our sport.

It is a growing reality affecting both human and veterinary medicine, and one that many healthcare professionals have been warning about for decades. The overuse, misuse, and inappropriate selection of antibiotics have contributed to the emergence of bacteria that are increasingly difficult and sometimes nearly impossible to treat. Responsible antibiotic stewardship has become one of the most important challenges facing modern medicine and veterinary care.

With its ancient Roman palace and ruins, lovely squares and beautiful waterfront, Split has evolved into one of the Mediterranean’s defining destinations. With the famous circuit of four all-breed and various specialty shows established, and still run by Croatia’s internationally renowned handler, breeder and judge, Ante Lu?in, the city has become a true flagship and the pride of Europe’s dog show scene as well.

Try this hypothetical: You see a company that holds a near 100% market share on the product it offers. It has favorable tax status, it’s coming up on 150 years in business, and it has a product that has stood the test of time. Barriers to entry for potential competitors are very high, as is customer loyalty. You would consider investing, wouldn’t you?
