General Information

This Newsletter was devoted to those individuals that handle athletic or working dogs.  I have spent a good part of my life working with and taking care of performance dogs.  I consider what they do as a form of art.  Dogs running, jumping, working or moving in any way amazes me.  I am attracted to it just like any art or music lover is inspired by a picture or song.  Because of this passion I have been lucky to not only experience the thrill of working with these dogs, but also to interact with some of the great owners, trainers, and handlers of some of the greatest athletic and working dogs.   In this sense I would like to disseminate this information that I have accumulated over the years to others that could benefit from my successes, experiences, mistakes and even some of the failures.

The newsletter will have information that applies to all active dogs and sections devoted to information that relates to specific interests.  There are some performance factors that apply to any dog and there are some factors that only apply to certain activities.
