Donald McCaig, 1940-2018
“The glue that is holding the Dog Fancy together is no longer the claim that pedigreed dogs are somehow better, that AKC breeders are dog experts, that dog show judges are actually judging SOMETHING important. The glue is no longer respect for the AKC.
“It is PETA. Without a wildly exaggerated but very real terror of the power, influence and malevolence of Animal Rights adherents, the Dog Fancy would implode tomorrow.”
— Donald McCaig, 1940-2018, author of such New York Times best sellers as Eminent Dogs, Dangerous Men and Nops Trials, and the lesser-selling but terribly important book The Dog Wars.

What good life, and what a deep loss to us all. I met him once in person, at the Westminster dog show of all places. He brought me a signed galley copy of one of his books. I am crying at this news.
