NO MORE COLLARS! by Sarah Sobry
	I always keep collars on my dogs. It makes it easier to grab them, throw a leash on them when we are off to dog class and I know they always have ID on them should they jump the fence and get lost. Our fence in the front yard is only three feet high, a regulation height where I live, and our dogs, a Border Collie named Jenny (2 1/2 years old) and a Belgian Tervuren named Tasha (8 months old), are tall enough to jump the fence if they so choose.

TANGLE FREE by Cheryl LeCourt
	Understand that the blow dryer has to blow in the direction that the coat grows - in other words, away from the skin so the dryer has to be pointed away from the skin towards the end tips of the coat. It's the same with people hair. Blow it in the correct direction and no more fuzz and tangle.
HEARTS by Anita Roberts
	The onset of heart disease in dogs is usually gradual and not likely to give rise to sudden death. The conditions leading to heart failure may develop slowly and in some cases have been present from birth. More often than not there are plenty of warnings to indicate that something is wrong, so we usually get plenty of time to do something about

BEST JUNIORS by Kellyn Miller
	About five years ago my family lost a Basset Hound that had been with us all my life. My dad vowed never ever are we getting another dog and to top it off my mother agreed.

I spent four years researching all different breeds, I started in toy, trying to find one that my parents would say okay to.

Our Dutch hosts made us so welcome and explained all that I had to do - giving reports on each individual dog, which were then handed to the exhibitors. This was a bit nerve-racking, as you can imagine however I tried to give my opinion of each dog in such a way that my placings were plain to the exhibitors. I hope that I succeeded!
