Congratulations to all of the winners of this year's Spaniel Journal Writing Contest! First place was awarded to Teri Wilson with Angel and Me, inspired by her English cocker. Our second place winner is Ann McGloon, whose essay, Hunting the Wind: The Making of a Search and Rescue Dog spotlights her Sussex spaniel. Millie Latimer's Boykin spaniel is the subject of A Pocket Full of Miracles and takes third. And fourth place goes to Jason King's A Maiden Voyage focused on his English springer spaniel. One winning essay will be featured in each issue of SJ - between now and December. Founder and Co-Trustee of the Rabies Challenge Fund, Kris Christine, reports on the Rabies Challenge Fund $35,000 Matching Gift - a vital study that is now underway. Linda Witouski writes our guest editorial, For a Fee , examining the importation of over a quarter of a million dogs into the United States a year. And my topic is A Woman’s Guide to a Well-Behaved Dog . In a glimpse to the past, Bill Fawcett traces the orgins of spaniel field trials in the US to Fisher's Island: Birthplace of the ESSFTA . And with a glance at the present, Victor McDevitt reports on The Kennel Club’s 78th English Springer Spaniel Championships . This month's book review, The Great Shoots: Britain's Best - Past and Present by Brian P. Martin, is a must for the shooting enthusiast. Visit the Spaniel Journal Bookstore to order yourself a copy.
