Capt. Arthur Haggerty Award

Off Topic

  • Hi All,

    I was surprised and very much flattered to hear that I was awarded the Arthur J. Haggerty Award from the Alliance of Pure Breed Dog Writers for my book, K9 Trailing; The Straightest Path. This is a very special honor considering the person for whom this award was named. Arthur J. Haggerty was an icon in the K9 world and his accomplishments were many. Babette Haggerty, APDW Director and daughter of the late ?Captian? Arthur J. Haggerty, will introduce me and present the award on the Sunday prior to Westminster, Feb. 12, 2012. I'm excited to meet Babette and learn more about this very prestigious group of people! Click on the link below to learn more about Captain Haggerty and the APDW.

    K9 trailing does have Basenjis in it,believe it or not, because I site some of their natural ability to use their wonderful noses. If any B people will be in Manhattan the Saturday and Sunday prior to Westminster, look me up…though I will not have my B's, I would sure like to meet some of yours!

    Here is a link to the Alliance of Pure breed Dog Writers if any have an interest:

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    @sanjibasenji Thanks for the article on Dog Genome Project - I found it very interesting. I was trying to figure out the interactive Genome wheel. It has the basenji closely related to the Azawakh and rat terrier but I’m still trying to figure out the first wheel which has the basenji listed w/ black/grey starting point. As far as the PBS Dog Tales video - it’s very interesting - it’s season 47 episode 2 - I highly recommend you watch the whole thing (54 minutes).

    @Ashmoore92 It got put on the "back burner" ... I have some, but not enough for a book. I'll circle back around to it.
