DSP CONTRIBUTORS, DRIVE BYS, & DOGGIE BAGS

We spent the past year visiting every corner of the US talkingto doggy folk about the game we love. What I have found is that technology has made our sport moreenjoyable.  Everywhere I went people wereaware of what was going on all over the US. Many had a firm grasp on the global fancy. 

We are going to attempt a few enhancements to Dog Show Poopthis year.  The first is a nobrainer.  To encourage participation bythe average exhibitor, we are creating the Dog Show Poop Contributor.  The first person that emails us a show report(bill38112@aol.com) with the registerednames of the BIS, the RBIS, and the other five finalists, will be recognized asa DSP contributor.  We will feature his/herdog’s photo along with the BIS and RBIS from the show with a report on the dog’sperformance, e.g. “This report was contributed by John Doe, whose Pug, DSP Fan,was Reserve Winners Dog, today.”  We areseeking to increase the average owner/handler’s participation, but we will makethis open to all.  In the event ofduplicate show reports, we will use the one with the earliest timestamp.  For those with a limited, or nonexistent, advertisingbudget, this is an great way to get your dog before the public eye.

We are also going to return to our weekly preview of shows,including a designated “Drive By”.  Somany of us go to shows in spectacular locations, but come home never havingseen anything other than the show grounds. We understand that a show weekend gets hectic, but most of us findourselves heading home long before the day is over.  Rather than go home muttering about the judgethat left you out of the ribbons, drive by something beautiful and make thatyour favorite memory of the weekend. Please send us your recommendations for a Drive By to the above emailaddress.

Finally, apart from our family and our dogs, our greatestloves are food and opera.  We have eatenway too many bad meals on show weekends.  We are always on the lookout fora reasonably priced spot frequented by locals, serving regional dishes, that getsus in and out quickly.  Let us know whatyour favorites are and we will add them to our weekly  “Doggy Bag”.
We have already designated 2012 as Our Favorite Year, but we think the best is yet to come. Help us make 2013 a great one!
