WHAT IF WE COULD TURN DOG SHOWS AROUND?
The ribbon was never supposed to be the final destination Michael Nelinson ‘s article, “Dog Shows 1980–Today: How Things Have Changed,” kept me thinking most of the night. The article stayed with me for an unexpected reason. It wasn’t because I suddenly disagreed with dog shows or because I believed Michael had uncovered a single…

A Bigger World, One Step at a Time 🌎🐩 (Chianti & Dante litter)
Today we set up the puppy play area so they could begin exploring new textures, toys, and a completely new environment. The play area is in my living room, where my adult dogs spend their days, giving the puppies their first glimpse into the rhythm of everyday life. Their world is gradually getting bigger, but…

LET’S MAKE GOOD DOGS IMPOSSIBLE TO MISS
PART 1 — THE DISCOVERY PROBLEM I have carried this question for years while observing the preservation dog community invest generations of effort into refining breeding decisions, structure, temperament, health testing, and mentorship that develops gradually through experience and accumulated judgment rather than through any single moment of instruction or visibility. Far less attention is…

Tiny Teeth, Big Opinions: The Chaos Stage Begins
The puppies are officially entering their “high activity, low respect for personal space” phase 🐾😄 Everything is becoming a game now, especially for those who are convinced that life is best experienced at full speed and with teeth involved 🐶💨 They are getting very active, tumbling over each other, testing balance, and discovering that the…
