Editorials My dogs are my friends and they are my teachers. The warmth of their body when they lie beside me and the feeling of their heartbeat at my feet grounds me. It is an immense privilege to be invited into their pack, to love and in return to be loved with a profound and limitless love. It is a secret society that we share and I rejoice in knowing this small part of their world. I provide my dogs with some food, love, daily opportunities to explore our world. In return they teach me about humility, honesty and the art of finding joy in every situation. My small pack is one of many and our packs are all connected by the bond that we share. We are in the unenviable position of making choices for our dogs and we all struggle to find the right answers. As I work to make the right choices for my dogs, I find strength in the support of other breeders and owners who share in the same goals and ideals. This group of teachers works tirelessly to help people make the right choices for their dogs and I also rejoice in being a part of this secret society. It can be a daunting task to swim endlessly against the current and we need to bolster ourselves with strength and knowledge and try not to let fear determine our path. It is comforting to feel that we can ride on the shoulders of those who have gone before us and it is empowering to know that we are no longer pioneers; that we are a large group and we are a strong group and we stand firmly on convictions and on sound science. Our dogs are our teachers and all we need to do is to watch and to listen and with a little help we will know the answers. I am honoured to be a small part of your journey. Dana Scott Co-Editor We have been on a journey for a very long time. A Journey of enlightenment, of meaning, of understanding.. Sometimes I lose my way. Sometimes I get jaded. Sometimes I feel frustrated, humiliated, angry, depressed. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed, underappreciated, exhausted and taken advantage of. Sometimes I am arrogant, snooty, rude, and just plain difficult. After all I am only human, a mere figure of a being put upon this great planet to experience this thing called life. Through my ever changing attitudes and moods, I am never less than amazed by the complexities of our ever changing world. While my human failings are many and my ability to rise above the pettiness is sometimes much to be desired, I find I am constantly working to be a better person. A person that my dog can be proud of. a person without conceit, without malice, without humility, without greed, without guilt, without impatience, without annoyances. Where would we be as a nation without our dogs Our dogs as teachers, as guardians, as moral enforcers and conscienscious reminders of what true happiness should be. If only everyone could embrace what we see through their eyes. We have come a long way in the last 20 years. Many of us realize that dogs are carnivores, that vaccinations are redundant and dangerous, and that dogs are family members and they have complex emotional states just like us. We still have a lot to learn though and we are being taught everyday. There is so much information available and I am so excited to find it and publish it here! This is our very first edition of what will be a long standing publication. A publication that will be in the forefront of modern and advanced information. This magazine will not be afraid to publish important information and we will not shy away from controversy. Rest assured that what you read will be interesting, insightful and the truth. We will not be driven by advertisers, Big Pharma, pet food manufactures or anything else that dictates what can and cannot be said. Ultimately this is YOUR publication. There would be no point to this endeavour without you: without your input we are lost. I am humbled to be a part of this magnificent group and I hope I do you proud. May this new year bring prosperity, conviction, excitement, new smells, new friends, and may we learn many more things together.
