I am with you both Carolyn and Paulette.
While every editor wants to refresh and put their stamp on their way, some of
the ways are tried
and true and what the members expect. The Review IS the history of the breed
and that is
what needs the most attention. Photo's not quite clear enough, printing you
cannot read, constant
printing changes are definitely not good for the magazine.

And this is exactly why I cherish my Review collection from 1947
- forward; the pictures of the dogs!
I don't understand why the format of the Review was changed when
the new editor came on board. What was wrong with the old format? I
hope that the "problems" with the Review are being addressed and we'll
see improvement in the next issue.

Got our latest Review the other day.....on time......but I am again
disappointed.
Since forever we have looked forward to getting the Review with
anticipation. The articles and information are
great.....but again, sadly, the size of the pictures is a HUGE
DISAPPOINTMENT for me.
Over the years we go over the Review and savor the photos...then we
read the articles and the information ...but
none of the words are ever committed to memory like the actual
pictures of the dogs!! It is the pictures of these
beautiful dogs that bring us back to the Review over and over until
the next one arrives, as we look at winners, stud
dogs, upcoming stars, check out Breed improvement, bloodlines, etc.
I am again disappointed about all the white space...the
large print in some places, and the small....SMALL photos!
There are a couple of pages in the November/December Review where
you actually need a magnifying glass to read
the print and see the dogs.....and much of the pages are white
space!
And THIS latest Review now is our National Winners and photos in
this one! The most important wins of the year for
many, and for those of us not there....photos we really
look forward to seeing! Or used to anyway.......
Again...it is the actual photos...the pictures...the anatomy of the
actual dogs that brings us back to the Review
over and over as we research breedings, bloodlines...breeders...the
dogs...the dogs....dogs....it's about the dogs!
I do not have an Ad...I do not have a dog in this Review....but if I
did....I would be HUGELY disappointed to find my
dog on a page and see that the "random" photos ( that are also
cute and fun ) to be much larger than my dog pictured
with his major win, or a Futurity win, or ANY win!! And yes.....I
will express this opinion to our Editor........
The Review is great...on time, plenty of articles,
quality, etc.......but I see no passion for the actual dogs!?
