(Journal Opinion) ORFORD - The world’s most outstanding dogs will gather Jan. 14-15 in Tampa, FL to exhibit the qualities that earned them a spot at the invitation-only AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. Jay Atwood of Orford and CH Penaire Star Struck [At Woodcrest], better known as “Striker,” will be among the 2,648 contenders.

Atwood is the owner of Woodcrest Kennel LLC of Orford. Striker is an American and Canadian champion Airedale and Best in Show award winner.

The show will be simulcast live on Animal Planet and the Discovery Channel, starting at 8 p.m. both nights.

These top dogs will be competing for $225,000 in cash prizes and the coveted title of National Champion. The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship offers the only sizable monetary award in dog shows and represents the pinnacle of canine achievement. Invitations are issued to dogs ranking in the top 25 of their breed based on year-long competition in other AKC events.

Further information about Striker including photos and a complete list of wins and accomplishments can be found at www.woodcrestkennel.com.

"Oh, how wonderful puppies are! …nothing in this world is quite like a puppy. They eat, they pee, and oh my, can they play and play…and then they fall over in a small heap and sleep as though the world is totally safe, just for them! My favorite part is when they wake up and want to be cuddled just before we go out…Archie…what could we possibly say that you do not already know about him.

The Extra 40 Miles

by Jim Kenyon (Valley News)

With her husband undergoing chemotherapy at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for an acute form of leukemia, Sharon Muller had not been home in nearly two weeks.
