Letters to and from the editorLetters to and from the editor

Hi Members and Subscribers,

Hopefully this is a good sign - this is the first Summer issue of the DCA newsletter we’ve published in 2 years. Maybe some normality is returning to this country!

First of all, congratulations to all the DCA Nationals winners in all venues! Don’t forget that the Autumn Issue will be your chance to brag on how well your dogs did in such a competitive venue. Deadline for advertising is July 15th. Any questions, let me know.

And another set of kudos go to Sharon McDonald and her exceptionally talented dogs and her wonderful training. Evan, featured on the cover, is sure to follow in her illustrious dam’s footsteps.

Make sure you read John Jeanneney’s poignant story, written by his wife, Jolanta. He certainly made an impact in the dog world by showing the innate tracking abilities of our breed. As Jolanta said, he will be missed by so many.

Thank you again to all the contributors to the magazine, we couldn’t have a quality publication without you. I finally had to update all my software right before this issue. It took this old lady a little bit longer to figure out some of the changes in my tried and true applications - but plenty of the newer features are pretty amazing.

Sadly, so many of our older members, those that have given so much time and effort to our breed, are crossing the bridge. We will miss all of them. Their amazing legacy of breeding, showing and judging in the dachshund world will always be remembered.

Have a great summer, and check out the inside back cover for the initial information on the 2023 Nationals. Lynne
