Coming Next Month in DOG FANCY

FEATURES
Jack be nimble. Agility handlers make it look so easy. One tiny hand motion, and the dog is flying through hoops, shimmying through poles, and making your graceful Afghan Hound look like a lumbering Mastiff. But that great performance is only a small slice of a handler’s life. We give you a sneak peek into one of these agility magician’s days. 

Food for thought. There’s much more to canine nutrition than kibble and canned food. From dog food’s controversial beginnings to a nutritionist’s take on what dogs actually need in their food, we explore it all to give you a well-rounded perspective on your dog’s dietary needs. 

AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. We know why breeders go to dog events (to show), and we know why agility and obedience handlers go (to show off). But what about the hundreds of spectators around the ring? It wouldn’t be a show without an audience, so we’re interviewing the people who turn ordinary exhibitions into full-blown extravaganzas.
