| GOOD READS | |
 The Education of a Bomb DogThe current issue of Smithsonian Magazine features an article entitled "The Education of a Bomb Dog." The story talks about how a company called MSA Security takes dogs from the Puppies Behind Bars program and trains them to detect explosives. Currently there are 160 teams of handlers and dogs that stay together for eight to nine years.
Dogs See Color After All
And Smithsonian's blog has an interesting article on dogs' ability to see color. It turns out they can, just not as many as their handlers. A paper published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B found that dogs were more likely to recognize an object by its color than its brightness level. |
| NEW ADVERTISER | | |
Welcome Ramblin Maxx Retrievers, our newest advertiser. RMR's goal to produce pups with strong bloodlines in an positive environment.

We strive to deliver accurate information quickly, but from time to time, we make mistakes. And when we do we update the database, we also update the copy of this newsletter that's on the website and then publish the correct information in the next edition of the newsletter. In addition, many of the Rankings depend largely on the handler and whether that handler is an amateur or a pro.
If you believe a results or handler is listed incorrectly, please let us know!
Last week we included Canadian titles to FC-AFC Candlewoods Commander and Chief when the dog had just earned his US title. |
