The appearance of COVID and the resulting world-wide pandemic has turned our lives upside down. The human toll is beyond measure. Yes, we can count cases of infection, hospitalizations and deaths. What we really cannot measure is the trauma. Deaths in the United States have surpassed 400,000 and 35% of people who survived the illness are facing on-going debilitating symptoms. Families and friends are mourning. Healthcare workers, first responders and others in direct contact with the sick and dying are beyond tapped out; physically, mentally and emotionally. The self-employed in a variety of fields are watching their business and financial resources drain away. In the best of situations, we are sorely missing our friends and activities.

Many breeds have an epigram. That short distinctive line, or quote that instantly gives you a mental picture of the essence of the breed. That little something maybe a breeder, judge or exhibitor mentioned or a sentence from the breed standard. These one-liners hit the nail on the head and are thought provoking.

There’s no getting around the fact that dog people are absolutely fascinating. The nature of this sport pretty well weeds out all of the rigid conventionalists. Let’s face it; this is no place for anyone dedicated to straightforward, predictable outcomes. Competitive conformation is endlessly complicated and ever-changing in one way or another. Those who are attracted to the game and choose to stick around and ultimately succeed; well, you know that the rest of their life is bound to be a bit off-center.

I was glad to catch up with professional handler Tuni Conti. She told me she is on the road to recovery after what turned out to be a stroke. I wrote last week that Tuni found herself in the ER while at the Pointer National in Brooksville, Florida, from what she thought was dehydration. After visiting her regular medical professionals upon her return home, she learned that she had a stroke. After a stay in the hospital to ensure everything is okay, Tuni is now home and cleared for local travel. She was told she could show a few dogs. Friends are asked to keep an eye on her while at shows to make sure she is okay. We are so glad that you are healthy, my friend!!!

For every breed, the head is the hallmark of its type. Details of head type are critical elements in terms of establishing that vital link between type and function. The head could be considered as the most vital structural element to assist the dog in performing its traditional function. Therefore, it goes without saying that the general structure of the head is dependent on breed and function. No aspect of head type is arbitrary or vague, although semantics can sometimes give that false impression. Proper head structure dictates a dog’s ability to do its job.
