Hallelujah! It's DONE!!

For those of you holding your breath waiting for the new issue, Exhale.
It is finally done. Live and learn, even with help from Alexandria, I need to do better next month managing time and projects.

I am very pleased with this month's issue and I hope that you will be too. A couple of projects didn't get done, but we'll finish them up and they'll be ready for next month.

Enough already!! Here's the link to the OCTOBER 2016 Issue

When you're done, come back by and add your comments! How did you like it? What other columns would you like to see added? Etc, etc ... the world is your oyster!

LOVE! Very creative and well laid out. Id like to make a suggestion, however.

Would it be possible to add a section for breeds in dire need? Like a breed spotlight? Breeders from these breeds could give information on the breed?

It looks awesome!!! I'm so proud to have so many of my dogs featured in this issue

This is just plain amazing. The interview with Lorraine Horne blew my mind!

Absolutely BRILLIANT!!

I love it! It looks sooo good!

I would totally buy this if it was a magazine on the shelf!

I loved the interview with Lorraine! :P

Loved seeing my boys in there too

Thanks for all your hard work - it's fabulous!

Love it -- from start to finish. You have done a wonderful job of the e-Zine.
Congratulations and thanks for putting the time in to create it.

I agree with Renegade - a spotlight on breeds in need would be great. And maybe with kennels working on other projects like restoring lost colours in a breed.

I love the breed spotlight, and the judge's interview was fun. Also seeing everyone's real dogs is great.

Oh man its so flipping beautiful.

I need to learn to avoid procrastinating and my phone needs to learn how to behave

Glad y'all like it!

Love it - thank you

wow you guys did an amazing job!

You might also want to consider discussing the #1 dog all time in your breed profile.

Don't forget once a dog wins BIS at SDWC that he/she is no longer allowed to be shown in future SDWCs.

Ch Smatters Constant Rain won BIS in her first SDWC during May. She would have qualified for June, July and August if she had been allowed to show. Also, She is #1 All Time Breed for Dals & #1 All Time All breed for Dals.

Magazine looks fantastic. Keep all the great work!

Love love love it!

Didn't realise my girl had won so many BIS this month, or that she was best bitch for the month. Thanks. <goes and pats her, gives her a treat and a hug>

Love your feature on a group. As others have suggested, perhaps a feature on a breed in need - take it from the featured group. Maybe the lowest ranked breed of that group? And perhaps a colour/trait project from that group?

My only glitch is with Lorraine Horne(loved the interview) - she better place some of my Wirehaired Pointing Griffons (different kennel) if she likes them so much!

WOW! Great job to those to created this magazine. It looks like it took a lot of work, but it looks amazing, just like a real magazine! Congrats!

A HUGE THANK YOU! for all the kind comments. We are simply delighted that everyone is enjoying the ezine. I know I have had a lot of fun working on it and putting it together!

All of your suggestions are appreciated. Keep 'em coming!

"Breeds In Need" - We did have a 'Breed Conservancy' list in the first issue, but it was left out of the October issue due to time constraints. It should be back next month. This column lists all the breeds that have less than 100 dogs and 2 or fewer breeders.

Dalkeith > I am in love with Emmett. Thank you for sharing your awesome pictures!
**Thank you to EVERYONE who shared pics!!
We're thinking Halloween/Fall theme for next month. We'll be posting a 'call to action' post by the end of the week. **

Will > You know, I don't think I ever knew that once a dog wins the World Cup he's not eligible for that show any more. If I did, I had forgotten. That does ad a spin to things.

add the #1 all time for the breed in focus - I should have, my only excuse for not thinking of the obvious were the time constraints (doh!)

*** Which does lead me to THIS question ...
For Dalmatians I did a Google Spreadsheet showing all of the SDWC BOB Winners AND all of their National winners -

Is this something that people find interesting?
Are you interested in seeing the same info for your breed? (It's a bit of work, but I find it interesting, but maybe that's just me?? )

Considering Glittering's advice - maybe we could put together some sort of table/article for the 'focus' group - showing the number of dogs in the game, # of breeder, maybe a 'breed health report' - entries, color projects, studs ...

and with that I'm back to work.

I find the breed spread insteresting... It brings back alot of memories in the breed.

Will

Fantastic! Love it!!

Holy cow! I've been a bit MIA from forums and the website overall but this is absolutely beautiful!

Beach Dunes - THAT is the response I was going for! <g> Thank you

I'm trying to work really hard this month to get a couple of my dogs on the "top" list so they can be in the zine.

AND I think it is a fun way for us to recognize the Top Dog rankings and keep a record of it. The fact that it's fun to view is a bonus.

I spot my Silas goober butt!! (:

Thanks so much, it's awesome!

I think it turned out great. I know the SD community had been talking about doing it forever and I honestly didnt think we would ever get to it. I'll be honest, it makes me want to show so I could possibly see one of my dogs on those pages! Thanks so much for this!!!

Wow, looks amazing!
Very informative and pleasing to the eye. It showcases the dogs as their best. I even laughed a little, reading the interview with one of the SD make-believe judges. So creative.
Something fun to look forward to each month.
