It's time to pull up a comfortable chair, pour a good beverage, sit back and enjoy an array of interesting articles about Saint  Bernards, the American Kennel Club, the evolution of dog shows in the United States, plus the Dog Talk series of articles (over sixty) on the application of the AKC Obedience Regulations.
 
Also located in this room is the complete collection of the Saint Bernard Performance newsletters for the current year.  After a calendar year has passed, the older issues are removed from the site (to save web space) and stored in the Saint Bernard National Archives in Seattle, Washington. These older issues are available for the asking and will be e-mailed upon request.  Please
state the year wanted and topic (i.e. Agility, Obedience, Performance, Rally, Tracking, Draft or Weight Pull)--the first year is 2002 (Rally newsletters started in 2006).  Older issues are historical time capsules that recorded our breed’s performance milestones and accomplishments, plus interesting related articles. Also, many of the newsletters have stories and photos of the dogs in the news. Collect all the years and subjects, file away in your computer, and have them to reflect back on in the future.  Free for the asking!  Click on  inaugural issues to learn more.
