IT'S A NEW SHOW SEASON!
To contact us Click HERE
We haven’t even said a proper good-bye to 2012, but we arealready looking forward to 2013’s first shows.
It’s hard to beat the Kennel Club of Palm Springs and itslimited breed warm-ups for a place to start the doggy new year. The venue combines all the glitz and glamorof Southern California in one of the US’ most beautiful areas. In addition to the palm trees, mountains, andthe rat pack history, you get a look at some of the most beautiful dogsanywhere. The Desert Empire Terrier Club Of SouthernCalifornia, the Toy Dog Breeders Association Of Southern California, and theSand To Sea Non-Sporting Association Of Southern California will kick it offwith entries of 372, 356, & 369, respectively. They will be joined on Friday by the SouthernCalifornia Sporting Dog Fanciers and the Inland Empire Hound Club Of SouthernCalifornia bringing the total entry to over 2400 in the five groups. This year’s two all breed shows have drawn 6500dogs. Now if you want to play what if games, a dog couldwalk away with over 7000 points to start the season.
If you are going to Palm Springs for the first time, or ifyou have never strayed very far from the Indio polo fields on your past trips,we think you should do a DRIVE BY of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, billed asthe world’s largest rotating tramcar. The ten minute rid takes you up the sheer cliffs of Chino Canyon to thetram’s mountain station, 8,516 feet above sea level. Just a half hour from the show grounds onyour way back to your regular life, it’s worth the time Not for those squeamishabout heights and it will be cool in January, but you’ll get a view you willremember a lifetime.
We haven’t eaten there ourselves, but we hear really goodthings about El Mirasol, 140 East Palm Canyon Drive in Palm Springs. One of the things we learned in our 25 yearsin California is that Mexican food can be every bit as complex as our owncountry’s. Put something adventurous inyour DOGGY BAG.
There are other options this first weekend. Columbiana County Kennel Club and theRubber City Kennel Club will team up for three all breedshows in Tallmadge OH. The take won’t beas large as Palm Springs, but the over 3300 points available could make for avery nice beginning. The North Star ToyDog Club, the North Star Working Group Association, and the North Star HerdingGroup Club will open on Friday for the Land O' Lakes Kennel Club’s two allbreed offerings Saturday and Sunday. Wecan’t think of a better excuse to wear your fur coat.
Texas fanciers will head for Glen Rose TX wherethe North Texas Non-Sportinng Association will open fot the Nolan River KennelClub’s two all breed shows. Our three remaining options are thoughtfully arrayed fromNew England to Florida. The Merrimack Valley Kennel Club opens theseason with a weekend in Fitchburg MA, the Clemson Kennel Club will do two inPendleton SC, and the Greater Daytona Dog Fanciers Association will keep youwarm for two days in Deland FL.
Remember, you can get your dog’s photo and win on Dog ShowPoop for free, just become a DSP Contributor and send us in a show report. This week we had to do our own research for aDRIVE BY and DOGGY BAG recommendations. Hopefully, our readers will help us out next week. This is gonna be a great year.

The race for Number One Dog All Breeds is going down to thelast show of the season as the current Number One & Two Dogs met again todayin Cleveland OH at today's Medina Kennel Club show. The German WirehairedPointer, GCH CH Mt View’s Ripsnorter Silver Charm, and the English Springer Spaniel,GCH CH Wynmoor Champagne Supernova, faced off in Robert Slay’s Sporting Groupat the Medina Kennel Club show, and took the top two placements with theSpringer, Peyton advancing to Betty-Anne Stenmark’s BIS final.
GCH CH Goldsand’s Columbus
Joining Peyton and handler Robin Novack were the Harrier,GCH CH Downhome Hitech Innovator, the Newfoundland, GCH CH Roseland’s RoyalFlush, the Russell Terrier, GCH CH Goldsand’s Columbus, the Maltese, GCH CHScylla’s Small Kraft Re-Lit, the Standard Poodle, CH Hillwood Dassin Rock OnBy, and the Icelandic Sheepdog, CH Vinlands Leifur.
The only Russell Terrier, Bosse, to win a BIS added an RBIS to hisresume, while the Springer, Peyton, grabbed a must have BIS. We don’t have the exact numbers tonight, butwe estimate that Peyton now trails the GWP, Oakley, by about 1500 points, whichmeans it is still too early to declare a Number One Dog for 2012, two daysbefore the end of the season. We couldn’thave asked for a more exciting year.

Before I head over to the Orange County Convention Center to cover the first day of the 2012 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, I join the millions of people in the US and around the world that grieve over the tragic loss of life yesterday in Connecticut. Any loss of life is tragic, but the death of one so young is bewildering and incomprehensible. I may be a maudlin old man, but as a father and grandfather, my tears are genuine.
I will gather up my gear and go to the dog show this morning because that's the only response to senseless tragedy, keeping moving forward. I don't want to hear the "what ifs" or another debate on gun control. I simply hope that those families that lost their precious children find the support and strength to keep moving forward. As you go about your business today take a moment and grieve with those families, send them your support, and be thankful for the day you have today.
I will enjoy myself today, but I won't be quite as exuberant as usual. I know I don't won't to hear any complaints for those that don't win today. Whatever happens you are here today.

If you are going to Palm Springs for the first time, or ifyou have never strayed very far from the Indio polo fields on your past trips,we think you should do a DRIVE BY of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway, billed asthe world’s largest rotating tramcar.
