Top Notch Toys - January 2016

ETCETERA

by BONNIE GUGGENHEIM TNT Advertising Director & Associate Editor WELCOME 2016! THE TOYS ARE READY TO WIN

T he Eukanuba Champion- ship Show was fun-filled and exciting, with lots of surprises (and is a shopper’s delight, too). I think that describes this December’s fabulous show. With over 4,000 dogs, it was just the place to see the top-winning specials from all over the country, as well as up and coming youngsters just getting started. Lots of people said it was simply overwhelm- ing! Many of the class dogs will be 2016’s big winning specials so classes were carefully watched to catch a glimpse of what might be coming. Many of the class dogs were produced by parents in the Specials ring that proves a pedigree of quality comes shining through when generation after generation consistently reach top dog status which shows the breeders dedication and knowledge of their respective Toy breed. Personally I watched, hoping you will see these Toy stars of the

future highlighted in Top Notch Toys …the place where the finest Toys are found, not lost. There are only 21 of our totally terrific Toys, which means you are 1 of 21 breeds—not 1 of 152! Your ad will also get excellent expo- sure with our TNT Facebook page and the online editions, always available at www.topnotchtoysonline.com. Meeting many of you whom I only talk with on the phone was one of the best parts of this absolutely fabulous show and for those I missed, let’s make plans for the Florida circuit or another show. Putting a face with a name makes TNT lots more fun! February will be the start of 31 years for Top Notch Toys and I want to thank all of you who have contributed articles, ads, breeder forums and supported the Toy group through the years.
