When the AKC officially admitted the Australian Terrier to its registry in 1960, it was the first terrier added in 24 years. It was also the first Australian-bred dog ever to be recognized and shown in Australia, and the first breed developed in Australia to be shown and recognized by the kennel clubs of other countries. It is Australia’s national terrier, but not its only terrier as the Tenterfield Terrier was also developed there.

The Aussie was developed to be a hard bitten working dog who could survive in Australia’s harsh Outback, and deal with the rodents and slithery snakes found in there. Among the smallest of the working terriers, the Aussie was first exhibited as the “broken-coated terrier of blackish blue sheen, but later names included the Blue and Tan Terrier, the Toy, and in 1900, the “Rough-Coated Terrier, Blue and Tan.” For quite a while, it was the only terrier other than the Miniature Schnauzer that didn’t develop in the British Isles. The Cesky Terrier and American Hairless Terrier, of course, have since added more diversity in terms of origin.

Play ball ⚾️❤️🙌🏼

We were fortunate to have a front row seat to the one of the first Nederlandse Kooikerhondje’s, Harvey, and his successful introduction of the breed here on the West Coast dog show circuits. Harvey and his team live here in Southern California. To see the massive amounts of international press coverage, showcasing not only the most famous, highest profiled baseball star in the world, but his love and affection for a beautifully preserved, AKC purebred breed— and a stunning representation of—by our own hometown ⚾️team, makes our hearts swell.

So sad to hear about James Reynolds. Truly one of the greats and always a delight to have on our panel. Sending prayers for comfort to his family and friends 🤍

Obituary Overview · James Garner Reynolds
https://caninechronicle.com/?p=300649

His tireless efforts would result in Jim coming to be regarded as one of the World’s preeminent all-breed dog show judges. His hobby and passion took him around the World, having been invited to judge not only at home and in the US, but also in China, Japan, Korea, Sweden, Columbia, the UK, Australia, Brazil and many other nations. He was most proud of being the only Canadian and one of very few non-American’s to judge Best In Show at the prestigious Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in 2006. Through these adventures his outgoing and larger than life personality earned him many friends who will miss him dearly.

Breed Priorities – Glen Of Imaal Terrier
By Nikki Riggsbee

TheGlen of Imaal Terrier is one of four Irish terrier breeds recognized by AKC and was named for his place of origin in County Wicklow, Ireland. The breed began in the later 16th century when soldiers settled in the area after putting down a rebellion. They crossed their own low-slung hounds with local terriers, eventually resulting in this breed.

Glens were used for vermin control and were big enough to go after bigger prey, such as fox, badger, and otter, as well as rats. They served as all-around farm dogs, as well. Legend has it that they also functioned as “turnspit” dogs, running a paddle wheel that turned meat over fires for cooking.

Part of the Glen’s breed type includes their “antique features,” such as turned out feet, bowed legs, and a rising topline, characteristics that were bred out of other breeds. They are heavier than most dogs of their size, and work prey without barking, making them quieter than some other breeds. Continue reading: http://caninechronicle.com/?p=297179

Factoid:

DNA testing indicates that the Borzoi, Whippet and Shetland Sheepdog (Sheltie) are the foundation breeds behind the Silken Windhound. Although the Borzoi and Whippet comprise the bulk of the Silken Windhound heritage, no direct crosses between Borzoi and Whippets have ever been used in the development of the breed. Consequently, Silken Windhounds are categorically not “Designer Dogs”, as that phrase is used to denote the offspring of two purebred dogs of different breeds. Instead, Silken Windhounds are a breed all their own. - From the Silken Windhound Club of America

The ideal Boxer is a medium-sized, square-built dog of good substance with short back, strong limbs, and short, tight-fitting coat. His well-developed muscles are clean, hard, and appear smooth under taut skin. His movements denote energy. The gait is firm yet elastic, the stride free and ground-covering, the carriage proud. Developed to serve as guard, working, and companion dog, he combines strength and agility with elegance and style. His expression is alert and his temperament steadfast and tractable.🐾

The AKC Standard dedicates a full paragraph to Color. It starts with: “The Biewer Terrier is a uniquely colored toy terrier.” Why is the Biewer Terrier so unique? Because it is a tri-colored dog, but unlike other tri-colored breeds, Biewer Terriers are tri-colored only because of the presence of Tan on the head.

The body color, in contrast, can only be Black and White and the Standard is very specific with regard to placement. Let’s investigate the color requirements for the Head and the Body per the Breed Standard through a series of illustrations by artist Fan Yu.🎨
