Interesting courses completed
I recently completed two free courses offered by the AKC’s Canine College Courses for Breeders. The courses were Anatomy 1, which discusses canine anatomy of the dog standing, and Canine Anatomy 2 , which discusses the dog in motion. I also took the optional $25.00 exams they offer. I highly recommend the courses for anyone interested in showing dogs in conformation and especially in breeding dogs.
New Champion!

Spirit finished her Championship July 22 at the Houston World Series of Dog Shows with 4 straight major wins.
