SHOWSIGHT MAGAZINE
Dear Friends,
AJ ARAPOVIC CEO and Publisher aj@aramediagrp.com Office 512 686 3466 ext 102 | Cell 512 541 8128 MICHAEL R.

The show year is now in full swing. This is the time when pup - pies often make their first appearance in the ring, new specials are brought out and last year’s stars are looking to build on their previous accomplishments. Everyone has “big dreams” for the future at this time of year. Of course, we all want to win. But in order to achieve this goal, it is important to have each of the following in place. 1. A Great Quality Dog 2. A Handler the Dog loves to be with and show for. (This can be an Owner-Handler, Breeder/Owner-Handler or a Hired Professional Handler.) 3. An Advertising Strategy 4. Someone who’s willing to pay for items 1, 2 and 3. In some cases, one person is in charge of each of these things. At other times, multiple people play a role in a dog’s show career. Nevertheless, these four items are essential for success in the sport. SHOWSIGHT is here to help you with Numbers 3, 6 and 9. (I know, I told you about Number 3, but Numbers 6 and 9 are yours to discover. If you already knew the magnificence of 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to unlock the secrets of the universe!) Numbers 6 and 9 are the things we all have yet to discover—things we may never discover. However, it is the search for their discovery that is the fun part of showing dogs and what’s good for our sport. The search for these se - crets keeps us coming back to shows weekend after weekend, month after month, year after year. By now, I’m sure that you’ve noticed all the investments we’ve been making at SHOWSIGHT in 2018. Recently, we went big - ger in size and added more meaningful editorial. To our tal - ented staff, we’ve added experienced individuals who possess specific skills sets that provide our clients with the best value for every dollar spent. (And let’s not forget about giving thou - sands of our readers a publication they enjoy reading each and every month!) Our print publication is mailed to all AKC judges, many CKC judges and quite a few International judges. SHOWSIGHT is also delivered to many parent clubs and doz - ens of shows nationwide, week in and week out.
