A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER WHAT A BLESSING The time of year is fast approaching when many of us will be spending time at shows with family and friends over the holi- days, reflecting on life, and looking ahead to the coming year. For exhibitors, the last few months of 2018 will be the most cru- cial. Everyone wants to finish the year strong! There are approximately 15 National Specialties remaining and a few spectacular all-breed shows left this year, including the National Dog Show and the AKC National Championship. Each of these celebrated events is rich in dog show history. Together with their sponsors, Purina and Royal Canin respectively, both spectaculars do such a phenomenal job of providing a happy and safe environment for the fancy to come together to com- pete and have a good time. One of the things I appreciate most about these shows is that both organizations work extremely hard to promote purebred dogs to the millions of people who haven’t heard about our sport or own a purebred dog. The Na- tional Dog Show is televised on Thanksgiving Day and the AKC National Championship is promoted through various media out- lets at Christmastime. What a blessing for all of us. We like to think that our magazine has something to do with the growth of our sport and that is all thanks to you. As I reflect over the past nine years since joining SHOWSIGHT, I can’t help but feel very blessed myself. I’ve been blessed to have been given the opportunity to serve you and blessed to be surrounded by so many passionate people who just want to do well for our community. And I’m blessed by having the privilege to consider so many clients to be my good friends. The trust you place in our magazine makes all the effort worthwhile. Your success — this year and every year — is our success. Thank you to all our clients, readers, employees and indus- try associates. May you all enjoy the many blessings of the coming season.
