President’s Message
“ I hope you and your families had a special
time over Easter. It was great seeing the
array of shows and dog sport events across the
State. The relaxation of Covid restrictions has
been welcome and it has been great to see more
interstate travel happening.
We are seeing a return to schedules showing more
interstate judges and that is great. However, it
is important that we continue to be vigilant as
individuals in taking care with our health and that
we continue to take sensible precautions.
These pandemic years have had many effects, but
one is the necessary introduction of more flexibility
in dealing with last minute developments impacting
on our events.
More recently we have of necessity seen interstate
and local judges changed within a day or two
of the event happening usually due to a Covid
diagnosis. Show and dog sport Secretaries are to
be commended on their management of these
challenges with at times numerous judges involved.
It’s a great voluntary service that these Secretaries
and other Executive members of clubs provide.
We are now moving into our “prime time” for the

4 DOG WORLD May 2022
Shows provide for members to engage with the
public about our wonderful breeds and provide
information about our dog world and the many
opportunities and dog sports events provided for
individuals, couples and families and their dogs. We
are all ambassadors for our dog world and it is so
important to continue to get our messages out there
to the media and to the community.
On that front, Dogs Queensland has been working
closely with Dogs Australia in developing useful
videos communicating good information in a
number of key areas. I encourage members to look
at these videos and use them as a resource when
dealing with interested members of the public.
On the breed front, we have a super line up of
7 videos – one for each breed group – giving an
overview of the breeds. Here are the links for these
videos:
