A MESSAGE FROM THE PUBLISHER Thank You from Our Family to Yours Well, another year has flown by — more quickly than I’d wished! I’d like to begin my year-end message by saying that your support for Showsight inspires me to continually improve our publication. I have never been more motivated than I am today to work hard for each and every one of you. You and your dogs are the celebrities of our sport and I think you deserve to be showcased like celebrities. My personal dream was never just to publish the best dog show magazine. I’ve always wanted to give recognition to all of you for giving so much to the fancy and for helping to grow interest in the sport of purebred dogs. This past year, we’ve partnered with com- panies and individuals who share the same values we do. We’ve changed the quality and size of our paper and we’re utilizing the latest technologies and global innovations. Don’t worry, we will al- ways stay true to our original mission of providing thoughtful and well-informed editorial. Showsight will be adding more contributing editors in 2019 to bring you the kinds of features and interviews you’ve come to expect with show reports from around the world. I am excited to announce that we will soon be launching the Show- sight Interactive Website that will allow you to create a free account, post pictures and communicate with anyone across the Globe. (Think of it as a Facebook, but created exclusively for the dog en- thusiast.) We are also planning to launch our Mobile App, Showsight TV and a Showsight Breeders Club. More on these later… The wonderful team at Showsight has been extremely supportive of my goals all year. To them I extend my warmest gratitude. It is because of their hard work and dedication that you’re able to tell the world about your dogs through Showsight’s print publication and digital format. I’d like to especially thank Hanifa Arapovic, Vice President, for being my rock, Joseph Neil McGinnis III, for entrust- ing me with taking over Showsight after publishing it himself for 24 years, and Michael R. Veras, Chief Operating Officer, for being the Superman that he is. Michael wears many hats and he’s a man who makes sure that all aspects of our company run smoothly. Everyone’s dedication and tireless work is simply invaluable! Lastly, I’d like to thank our dear clients who choose to advertise us. You have made our success possible. Happy Holidays to you and to your loved ones. See you soon.
