Thank you Mr Will, beautiful interview and tribute to a great person. Last 15 minutes were very emotional to listen to and show us how delicate this life is with our time for us and our dreams. I’m very grateful for your work done here and shared with us. I wish more people, especially young ones starting in dogs or dreaming about a dog would listen to your interviews. How dogs can change your life, how we all start somewhere and often small - but there’s room for greatness if we work hard. I watched this years Westminster BIS holding my breath and admiring those beautiful dogs and great handlers, I was thinking I’d love to be in this ring just once one day, I cried watching Mr Kaz and Sage win and all the emotions surround this moment, and thinking how well deserved win it was. I hope there’s a big koi pond in heaven, good food and a phone call from Mrs Clark congratulating amazing career. My deepest condolences to his wife and other family and friends.
Rest well Kaz - may your soul be surrounded with the souls of all your fondest loved ones; human and canine. We met when we were each 21 in 1980. It was very wonderful to watch Kaz able to accomplish so much. Condolences to his wife and other loved ones that will miss this fine man. (22 your way Kaz.)
Enjoyed the interview and loved hearing his voice again. I remember when he came here and lived with Mr &Mrs. Clark. So humble, kind and the consummate professional. RIP friend
Kaz trained my miniature poodle for the show and won best in show in 2011! I was so excited to learn that he won westminster kennel club. His story is so inspiring. I am so very sad that he passed away! RIP! PS also, sage and my dog are second cousins!
I've lived with 2 Boxers for a combined 25 years (I wish longer), both had their tails docked before I adopted them. At this stage of my understanding of the breed, there is NO reason to dock their tails or ears other than the human's vanity. I'd even be for outlawing the practice, as they do in Europe.
As a young girl I lived next door to her Grandparents and her Mom Nancy. I credit her Mom with instilling a love of dogs that has stayed with me all these years, in June I will be 80yrs old. That is a long time!! Bless you and your family Jerri!
My dog won a major under Mr. Wornall and I knew at the time it was an honor! My handler pointed out the significance of the win. This interview leaves me humbled at the breath of experience & knowledge behind my dog's win under this judge! Thank you for the insightful and engaging interview!
We absolutely need to continue to promote the importance of our breeds and health testing. We need to be welcoming and supportive. Such an influx of poorly bred mixed dogs continuing from COVID, now turning into a massive amount of these poor dogs homeless, filling shelters. 😞 Working in vet med it's incredibly sad to see the increasing lack of pure bred dogs, as well as the lack of funds to pay for medical needs.
Wow when she said you don't push a whippet I smiled because I'm having a bit of a struggle with my bitch. She's a very sweet dog but boy she can be so stubborn...the hounds are not typically people pleaser so oh boy to get her to respond to me in the ring is soooo frustrating. My biggest struggle is getting her to not post on the ramp. I love her dearly, but she's defiant and then I get all stressed. I'm new to the show ring and with fiddling with her in the ring doesn't help. Thank you for this interview...especially the comment on whippets lol
I enjoyed listening to Fred's reflections.I grew up knowing Fred and the Budynasty chows. He will always hold a positive place in my memories from my youth. Michael Guy
You are a very smart and talented girl...in so many ways. A friend of mine told me about your channel...I've been looking at several today so so funny...my friend told me you had one showing whippets? Not able to find it...thanks for these videos, all so true 😅😂
Thank you for this informative video. I had a hairless without any spots. I would Love to replace Fiona, but CA doesn’t seem to have any available at the time. Once you’ve had a Chrested you’re hooked for life. 🥰
OMG YES!!! I hate seeing the dogs strung up like terriers. Shiba's Standard clearly say Lose lead, moderate trot. I judged 3 Shiba Nationals, they hate it when I made them use loose Lead, the usual response was, I can't control them. I said try it. and with out fail each and every dog moved so much better. Thank you for saying this , I wish All the judges realized how much cleaner a dog can move on a loose lead. Sadly it is just the lack of training them.
