    UPDATE: November 2006

    Hi Folks, it's me Kiree.

    As you can tell from the date of the update, I am now all grown up! Yep, here I am now an adult and still going with the flow of whatever wind blows.

    I know how this human-dog stuff works now, so I pretend that I am following their lead, but little do they know that it is me that is still in charge.

    Recently my breeder, Sandy Herzon (he's famous by the way, because when my owner, Karen wasn't looking, I did a search on Google for his name and Whoa Nelly, there were endless pages with the stuff he's been doing with dogs) okay, okay, back to the story line here, my breeder calls Karen and tells her that they have this International Show coming to Orlando, for God's sakes isn't Orlando where Mickey Mouse lives, well anyways he tells her about this special 4 shows in 2 days there and that he would love to take me!

    Yo, that's me we are talking about here, yes me, the one that didn't get the highest show rating evaluation from my 2 sisters, yea me! I hear that one of my sisters hasn't even been to a show yet, so who's cooking with grease now??

    Hey, I got other things to do, so let's cut to the chase, tree that possum and let you know that I came out of the 4 shows with 4 perfect scores, my International Champion's title and a Best Of Breed to boot. Not bad for the castaway, free thinker, Chambrays Free Spirit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Okay, gotta to go, the raccoons are getting rowdy, the squirrels are getting fidgety and the possums are playing dead and Ruckus he's such a wimp!

About Labradors, Breed Standard
and Related Subjects

In true fashion to who I am, I present the following, telling like it is!!!
The opinions expressed in the following essays are solely those conjured from my 39 years of trials and tribulations with Labradors and all the frills that come with such an extensive relationship.

 

 

  • New Revised Show Rating System by Sandy Herzon 
     

  • Hell Hath No Fury  by Sandy Herzon a "light hearted" look into the fine art of dog evaluations and how they affect those whose dogs received them and then how they will kill the messenger.
     

  • There is Only 1 Labrador Retriever by Sandy Herzon there are Labrador Retrievers that do field work, others perform in hunt test, some do agility and obedience and others compete in conformation shows, yet they are all Labrador Retrievers.
     

  • What Is Show Quality  by Sandy Herzon do you have what it takes to admit that your dog is not show quality or will you be happily surprised if it is?
     

  • To Coat Or To Overcoat?  by Sandy Herzon a touchy topic, (some pun intended) about a Labrador's coat and the current fad on judging strictly on coat!
     

  • The Great 10-Dog Weekend by Sandy Herzon 10 Dog evaluations.

  • Judging By The Pound by Sandy Herzon or maybe a better title would be
    "Fat Dogs Abound"      With the current trend of selecting breeder-judges to all-breed dog shows, we all need to fatten up our dogs to be considered for those elusive wins! Some dogs can just barely make it around the ring and their tongue will be working fulltime! The exhibitors handling some of these dogs make up all kinds of excuses as to why they move the dog so slowly.

  • You Be The Judge-    by Sandy Herzon is it luck or is it something else that makes some people winners, while others just don't get it? Is it luck or are there other forces involved?

  • Caveat Emptor by Sandy Herzon a must read for future puppy buyers. With the advent of the Internet and savvy websites we are now seeing a proliferation of more "breeders", to add to the already endless listing that may be found with a search for "Labrador Breeders".
