What started as an idea in August 2023 has grown into
something bigger than we ever imagined. Each issue of
K9Force Magazine now reaches over 30,000 views—and
counting.
Our readers base is a diverse community of working dog
enthusiasts and practitioners. In response, we’re excited to
introduce several recurring features to expand our coverage
of everything related to working dogs:
Inside the Vet’s World – Dr. Alex Horner will provide
expert insights on canine health, covering both sport-
specific and general wellness topics.
Different Game- One Passion – Each issue, we’ll explore a
different working dog sport.
Breeder Spotlight – Breeders of various working dog
breeds discuss the philosophies shaping today’s top
working lines.
We wholeheartedly thank GSSCC President Jim Chrisp for his
contributions to the magazine since its inaugural issue
through his recurring column, Ask the Judge. His articles
have provided valuable insights into a wide range of IGP
exercises and how to maximize points in competition. As Jim
is no longer serving as Head Judge, he will not be continuing
his column, but all of his articles remain available on the
K9Force website under the Blog section.
We remain committed to bringing you the latest from our
club and our major competition, the K9Force Cup. We are
already working hard to ensure that the K9Force Cup remains
a must participate competition, featuring exciting new
elements. Watch this space!
Thank you for your continued support of K9Force and
K9Force Magazine. Here’s to another year of growth, learning,
and the relentless pursuit of excellence—on and off the field.
Warm regards,
K9Force Magazine
