F or anyone planning a trip to Germany next year be sure you check out the World Show that will be held November 8th to 12th in Leipzig. The German Kennel club will host the World Dog Show in the Leipzig Trade Show hall which is actually 4 large halls, fortunately the Leipzig-Halle airport is close and has a direct connection to the show hall. This show will be the sev- enth time the German Kennel Club has hosted the World Show starting in 1935. What an accomplishment for their ken- nel club! Are you planning to go? We love candid pictures and hope you win. Check out the wonderful new AKC program titled: The Canine College. This online educational site offers pro- grams and tests for Judges Education, Breeder Education, Groomer Educa- tion and Canine Good Citizens Evalu- ator Education. This increases learn- ing opportunities in all aspects but in partiular is a valuable tool for judges and aspiring judges that are not able to attend an actual AKC school due to employment commitments or dis- tance. These courses do not replace in-person or hands-on training but are an additional opportunity for learning and offer CEU credits that meet AKC requirements for applications and addi- tional breeds requirements. They offer a tool to upload and store verification of experiences in breeds, courses and tests taken and then later share with AKC via email when submitting an application. New breeds will be added on a regular basis with the assistance and approval of each parent club. What an exciting new learning opportu- nity! See the video and learn more at caninecollege.akc.org. The exciting AKC National Champi- onship show is coming up fast and will be held in Orlando on December 16
and 17th. Toys will be judged on Satur- day with BIS on Sunday. Friday and Sat- urday are specialties as well as the AKC National Owner Handled Series. Review premium lists for details. What a great place to Christmas shop for your dogs and friends. It’s one of the very best venues to see the important specials in your particular breed. Check our the all breed shows starting on Dec. 13th. Email me about your exciting wins and your plans for 2017! Planning for your campaign should start now so you have the placement you would like and have time to dis-
