The We stminster Kennel Clubs We stminster Week 2018 Photo by Jack Grassa The Westminster Kennel Club and American Kennel Club partnered once again to bring dog and cat lovers a fun-filled, action-packed, fan-favorite day during Westminster Week 2018. Meet & Compete, featuring the 5th Annual Masters Agility Championship at Westminster and the 9th AKC Meet the Breeds®, presented by Purina Pro Plan, returned to Manhattan on Feb. 10, 2018 at Piers 92 and 94. Masters Agility Championship at Westminster The Masters Agility Championship at Westminster once again featured some of the country’s greatest canine athletes and their handlers as they faced a challenging obstacle course of jumps, tunnels, weave poles, and more, in entertaining races against the clock. The entry is limited to 330 dogs that have attained Master agility titles (MX and MXJ, or MXP and MJP) at the time of entry, virtually guaranteeing a top-performing field. The Agility competition was divided into five height classes - 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 inches, which refer to the height of the jumps in that class. Dogs competed in the class appropriate for their size. At Westminster, each dog competed in two qualifying rounds – a Standard Agility course and a Jumpers with Weaves course. Scoring for eligibility to the Championship round was the combined actual running time of both runs, plus any faults (refusal/ run-out, wrong course, table fault, failure) and course time faults. Dogs were placed in order of the lowest combined score within their true AKC jump height. The twelve dogs from each height class with the lowest combined scores moved on to the televised Championship
round Saturday evening, creating a field of 60 finalists competing for the coveted title of Westminster Kennel Club Masters Agility Champion. The championship course was a hybrid of the qualifying rounds and ran as a ‘time to beat’ course, where the first dog set the baseline time for the subsequent competitors. The Masters Agility Championship at Westminster included AKC- registered purebred dogs, mixed breeds enrolled in the AKC’s Canine Partners program, Miscellaneous breeds not yet eligible for conformation competition, Foundation Stock Service recorded breeds, and Purebred Alternative Listing dogs (purebred dogs that cannot be fully AKC registered). Agility judges for 2018 were Mr. Don Farage of Bartlett, Tennessee and Mr. David Powell of Auzielle, Occitanie, France. AKC Meet the Breeds® This event offered attendees the unique opportunity to meet and play with more than 200 different dog and cat breeds and allows dog lovers to learn about responsible pet ownership and what breed is right for their lifestyle by visiting elaborately decorated booths depicting fun elements of each breed’s history. Attendees were encouraged to learn from the on-site experts themselves – breeders, enthusiasts, trainers and groomers – who can share what sets their breed apart from every other unique breed.

We visited the iGallery (Pacific Grill location) where we saw how the community and villages were to be laid out and the amenities that it would come with. We knew then that Ladera would be a special, and a one-of-a-kind, community. Barton Warner, LARCS, CFO Profession: IT Director. Resident since: 2010. Best thing about living in Ladera: Ladera is an amazing place to raise a family – the parks, walking paths, community pools, AYSO soccer, piano lessons, Singers Company, Girl Scouts, great schools, 4th of July fireworks, family campouts – they are all “local” and help create a sense of community. What appealed to you about Ladera Ranch? We moved to Ladera from the Seattle area, so we looked at a lot of communities in Orange County. During one of our house hunting visits, I remember taking a break at the park near Oso Grande – and in our short time there, we saw kids at the playground and families enjoying time

Dalia Viera, LARCS, Non-Voting Member Profession: Retired. Resident since: 2015. Best thing about living in Ladera Ranch: The sense of community. What appealed to you about Ladera? Coming from Los Angeles county, Ladera Ranch gave us a feeling of being closer to nature. The trails, the landscaping, the layout of the streets, the roundabouts were all very unique to Ladera Ranch. We hope to be part of this community for years to come. Jacob Whitehead, LARMAC, Assistant Treasurer Profession: Attorney. Resident since: 2017. Best thing about Ladera: I love the close-knit and small-town feel of Ladera Ranch. What brought you to Ladera Ranch? My wife, twin daughters and I had come to know many great families in Ladera Ranch; we lived nearby in Las Flores. With the addition of our third child, we began looking for a bigger home and never really considered living anywhere

My wife and I fell in love with Ladera on our first visit here. It was a combination of the wellmanicured look, the walking paths, parks, trees, and not the least of which the homes. Ladera had a genuine quality that really stood out to us as being an enjoyable place to call home.

Welcoming a Puppy Home Tips for new puppy parents on transition, toys, food and more Nothing is more heartwarming than the first warm nuzzle from a new puppy. With new pets, however, come new responsibilities and opportunities, which can often lead to New Year’s resolutions involving new furry friends. “No matter the season, it’s always a moving and emotional experience when a puppy finds a new home,” said Eran Cohen, chief customer experience officer at PetSmart. “Our passionate associates are available to help bring pet parents closer to their pets so they can live more fulfilled lives.” To help puppy parents welcome their pets home – and keep New Year’s commitments – PetSmart, the largest specialty pet retailer across North America, offers this expert advice on nutrition, socialization, essentials and health care to help keep pets happy and healthy. Find a Veterinarian A veterinarian should be your first call if your puppy gets into something that could potentially harm him or her. Vets are also great resources to keep you up-to-date on puppy care, like vaccination timing. Use a tool like the free askPETMD app, available in the Apple App and Google Play stores, to find a veterinarian near you.
ID Your Pet While pets are getting acclimated to their home, and with people going in and out, it can be easy for them to slip out a door. Be prepared in case they embark on an unplanned journey around the neighborhood. To ensure you are reunited, outfit your pup with proper ID, including a personalized ID tag. Pup-Proof Your Home Dogs love to chew, whether it’s on shoes or something more dangerous like wiring or extension cords. To protect them and promote positive chewing experiences, use toys or treats to occupy their time and allow them to chew safely, such as a Puppy Bone Starter Toy Kit. It’s also important to place household products like trash, laundry detergent and cleaning supplies out your pup’s reach. Give Puppies Their Own Space According to a survey commissioned by PetSmart and conducted by Wakefield Research, 47 percent of U.S. dog owners let their puppy sleep in bed with them seven nights per week. However, when it’s time for puppies to rest on their own, a puppy crate can perform double duty, providing puppies their own area away from stressors to nap and
serving as a structure that promotes potty training. Give Your Dog Time to Acclimate Socialization is critical during a pup’s early years. While everyone may be ready to meet the new member of your family, consider introducing them to one or two people at a time, so the puppy can get to know them and warm up to their scent. Research Nutrition It may be tempting to feed a puppy human food, but they require specially formulated food and often have different eating schedules than an adult dog. Do your research, read labels and ask questions. Consider leading natural pet lifestyle brands, like Only Natural Pet, which offer
formulas such as Puppy Power Feast food, as well as a variety of treats. Invest in Training Consistent training is an important responsibility of a puppy parent. Dogs crave love and praise, and a properly trained pooch will better understand what’s expected of him or her. If necessary, get help from puppy training experts to help ensure all family members are able to live happily in one harmonious pack. Find more tips for welcoming a new pet into your home this year at PetSmart.com or download PetSmart’s mobile app, which tailors content to help guide pet parents based on your pet profile.

Try this protein-packed substitute to make lunchtime more nutritious Cottage cheese is having a moment. Nutritionists and health-minded individuals have discovered that the dairy case staple can actually unlock a lot of mealtime solutions, especially when it comes to remaking recipes with a creamy base, such as tuna salad and veggie dip. Simply swap the mayonnaise, cream cheese or sour cream with high-protein cottage cheese, and it’s pretty easy to pull off a higher-protein and lower-calorie version of your lunchtime favorites, says Amy Gorin, a registered dietitian nutritionist and writer in New York City. “In many of these recipes, cottage cheese works beautifully, because it helps these delicious foods keep that creamy texture while decreasing the calories and saturated fat - and adding filling protein,” Gorin says. “It’s one of those foods that was hiding in plain sight all these years.” For best results, start with a protein-packed brand of cottage cheese. Gorin always recommends Muuna Cottage Cheese to her clients, because its Lowfat Plain variety delivers a rich and creamy texture, plus it’s high in protein (14-19g per serving), is a good source of calcium and also contains potassium. So look at your go-to breakfast, lunch and snack recipes with new Page 16
eyes, grab your blender and get creative. To get you inspired, here are five easy ways you can make the cottage cheese swap and give yourself a protein boost without going hungry. Lunch salad update Many of us have said no to delicious and classic lunch salads we love, because mayo can add fat and calories. Turn to cottage cheese to make over your favorite lunches, and you can start enjoying things like tuna salad and potato salad, plus you’ll love that boost of protein. On toast Simplify your lunch hour and use cottage cheese as a creamy base for your favorite whole-grain toast, and then stack on yummy, vitaminpacked extras, like salad greens and sliced mangos, or even strawberries and avocado. A Greek yogurt-cup alternative For a quick on-the-go snack or lunch side, Muuna has reimagined cottage cheese into single-serve cups with real pieces of fruit on the bottom, packed with 15 grams of protein, including strawberry, blueberry, pineapple, peach and mango. Smoothies reimagined Swap out the yogurt and try using cottage cheese as a protein base for your favorite smoothie recipe. What you’ll have is a thick and creamy

breakfast, likely with more protein than sugar. Dip without the guilt Kids and adults love how flavorful, creamy dips and dressings can liven up cut-up vegetables like carrots and broccoli. Sub in cottage cheese for mayo or sour cream to lower the calories and fat - and to amp up the
protein and make the snack more filling and fueling. This super-simple, reimagined ranch dressing not only adds flavor to your crudites, it brings protein power to your lunchbox or your child’s. For recipes and more inspiration, visit http://muuna.com/recipes/. - (BPT)
