Along with people all over the globe, those of us here at Life’s Abundance monitored the Westminster Dog Show with keen interest. In fact, two of our very own Field Reps were affiliated with a dog competing alongside hundreds of others at this parade of canine excellence!
Do you want to feed your dog like a Westminster Best Breed Winner? Well you can! www.lifesabundance.com/spotts
We weren’t disappointed. Tuesday night, the prized Mastiff, Seamus (full name, Beowulfs Bit O'Blarney) beat out 18 other Mastiffs to take a coveted Best of Breed prize. We couldn’t help but share big smiles as he grandly galloped around the show ring at Madison Square Garden … after all, he’s a Life’s Abundance dog! Susann Everett is his proud breeder and Traci A McKeown-Weaver is his thrilled pet parent.
If you missed the coverage on USA Network, don’t worry … you can watch all of the highlights online. In fact, we’ve included the video link below, capturing Seamus’ big win. As you’ll see, the onlookers erupted in cheers when the judge included him in the top dogs, and then again when he clenched the Best of Breed award. It was a fitting, belated birthday surprise, as he just celebrated his third birthday on January 6th.
One of the oldest breeds and believed to be the father of other working breeds, Mastiffs are known for their protectiveness and gentleness, and Seamus is no exception.
In addition to running her Life’s Abundance business, Susann operates Beowulf Mastiffs Global, a nurturing breeding business. If Susann’s name is familiar to you, it might be because she was featured in January’s Reward & Recognition announcement, when she achieved 9-Star status for her tireless promotion of Life’s Abundance. Traci is in Susann’s downline and she signed up as a Field Rep in October of 2010.
We’re all awfully proud of Susann and Traci’s loveable Mastiff.
Kudos to you all!

Dog Leashes
Dog leashes are not all the same. Here are four types:
Standard leashes are use for everyday use and basic obedience training. They are typically in 4-8 feet in lengths. Most leashes found in pet stores are 6 foot long which is ideal for most dog walking. The materials used are nylon or leather.
Adjustable leashes are similar to standard leashes, however they have several loops along the leash that allow the length to be adjusted to be shorter or longer. Kind of custom fitted to arm length. This also allows better training handling. Adjustable leashes are nice to attached to things such as park benches or trees.
Martingale leads are a collar and leash combo. They are Commonly used for toy or small breeds in the show ring or for a dog that does not were a collar in the home. The collar portion slips over the head and tightens when the lead is being pulled. Larger sizes are available for medium or larger dogs.
Retractable leashes contain a cord of up to 26 feet that retracts into a plastic case with a handle. The way it works is similar to that of a measuring tape. The leash can lock in place at any length. Retractable leashes allow your dog to freely wonder about without letting your dog off-leash. When using these leashes, you dog should be trained to walk on a regular leash. If your dog is not trained he will be hard to handle on a retractable leash. These leashes can become tangled around you or your dog resulting in a hazardous situation.
New Safe Retractable leash coming soon. http://www.pipschoice.com/
Retractable leashes pose problems for people and their pets.
Most accidents appear to happen when the cord wraps itself around fingers or when it snaps out and hits the eye or other body parts.
Dogs darting into the street, owners unable to jerk them back from afar.
Cord can lock into place and snap the dog's neck.
