Origin The Briard may well be the most ancient of the French herding breeds. A tapestry in the Louvre shows Charlemagne (742-814) flanked by two of the shaggy guardians. Napoleon was said to have owned a Briard as well. And when Thomas Jefferson was searching for herding...

I don’t want homes for puppies, I want homes for adult dogs. Puppies are easy to sell, ask any puppy mill or rescue. Puppies are snapped up in no time… Then as adults they end up in rescue because the people who found the cutest puppy only wanted the puppy, not what the pupp...

Just like you, I’m passionate about purebred dogs. What’s more, I’m particularly proud of our Club’s many programs and initiatives that are dedicated to advancing the interests of purebred dogs, their owners and their breeders in Canada. While doing some spring-cleaning e...

Thank you to all that took the time to comment on my first posting and for the encouraging words. One of the advantages of this communication format is that it can be dynamic and address subjects in “real-time”. Almost every week, I provide an update to the Board of Director...

The year is coming to a close and externally, it was a very strange year from a lot of perspectives, particularly in the political arena. The media must have had a field day with all of the bizarre stories surfacing throughout the year that made watching the news or scanning ...

It’s hard to imagine a more heart-warming sight. As Christmas morning dawns, an excited child scrambles to the tree, unwrapping a large box tied with a bow. Inside, his or her new puppy awaits. Screams of delight ensue and the perfect Christmas morning Youtube video is bor...

It has been a while since my last posting, and it’s been a busy time in the world of dogs. Westminster has just wrapped up and the CKC communications team worked hard to expand our coverage of Canadian participants. Our social media specialist had a media pass that prov...

August is now over and I’ve noticed a few of those first dry leaves that drop to remind you that summer will not be around for much longer. In defiance, we ignore them and continue to enjoy the outdoor shows, events and patios. So far, the summer has been eventful in a lot o...

When turning one, a puppy (depending on breed) is normally very close to their adult size and weight. By one, most dogs will have all of their permanent teeth and adult coat. We at ‘The Dish’ imagine ourselves being a puppy and it turns out that just like a puppy, we’ve done ...

We've all heard the phrase, what a difference a day can make. The September board meeting was scheduled for two days and the first day started with a glitch and the second day ended in tragedy. The first day of meetings had to be relocated to a conference room in a hot...
