Thanks shout out to Barb London for sending me this. This is great news and will make an already top notch show site even better.
Dear Purina Pro Club Member,
Purina is a longtime supporter of purebred dogs through sponsorships of dog shows and sporting events and for 15 years, has provided facilities for outdoor dog shows, lure coursing, agility, obedience, herding and earthdog trials at the Canine Activity Center and Canine Competition Center at Purina Farms in Gray Summit, Mo.
We are happy to announce that Purina is building a new multimillion-dollar, state-of-the-art, 84,000 square-foot, indoor Purina Event Center that will open in the fall of 2010. The Purina Event Center will accommodate thousands of dogs and their owners and handlers at conformation dog shows, obedience and agility trials. This facility will provide “Best in Show” amenities to help ensure that all-breed dog shows and National Specialties, as well as agility and obedience trials, go smoothly.
Centrally located in the Midwest, the new Purina Event Center will be easily accessible for people traveling from all parts of the country and will be accessible by major highways. Purina Farms is also within 10 minutes of several hotels that accept dogs. In addition to RV parking at the Event Center, there are five campgrounds near the show site.
The Purina Event Center is being announced to the public during NBC’s Thanksgiving Day telecast of “The National Dog Show Presented by Purina,” which airs at noon in all time zones on Thursday, November 27th.
We wanted to share this announcement with our Pro Club members and encourage you to bring this information to the attention of your National Breed Clubs and Show Committees.
To learn more about the Purina Event Center’s amenities and Purina support, please visit Purina Farms.
Sincerely,
Purina Pro Club
Many regions of the country have already experienced thier first frost. With Winter just around the corner, here are some tips to keep our four-legged friends safe and still let them have fun:
Housing - outdoors
Housing should be raised slightly off the ground and be waterproof
Dog houses should face South to avoid North winds exposure
Insulation is very important! Either use straw or shavings, or blankets if those items are not available and check often for moisture
Housing - indoors
Monitor your indoor dogs’ exposure to the winter elements as their coat may not have had the chance to thicken up
Frostbite and Hypothermia
Frostbite can be indicated by red or gray skin, or skin that sloughs. Seek Vet attention for your pet immediately if this has occurred.
Slippery ice can lead to injuries for older pets
Travel
Sedation of your animal in not advisable during the winter months as it can lower thier core body temperature
See these and many other helpful reminders for our dogs to have happy, healthy, and safe winter at Vetcetera

How about this for a better alternative for President? He sure gets our vote!!
Diego is better known as BISS Ch DWC’s RedRock Senor Amor, half brother to Blade, and proudly owned & loved by Laura Farrell RedRock GSP’s
H-O-T ... hot! That would be the best way to describe the weather, and the month-end results for Blade. We’ve battled 90+ degrees, floods, and more rain than any July I can remember. Even the dogs don’t want to stay outside. 
A Brown family reunion found new friends for Scout (several human cousins that are now devoted GSP fans), and the annual Lu’au where both dogs wore themselves out trying to socialize with everyone. We could not be more proud of both dogs for being such great ambassadors of the breed.
Blade and Patty rounded out the month with some nice breed wins, a wonderful Best of Opposite Sex win at the Belevidere, IL GSP Specialty, and a well-deserved Group 3 win in Marion, Ohio.
So while the sun keeps beating down the summer rays, remember to keep plenty of water available for your dog and a shady spot to relax in (that’s assuming any of them stay outside - ours are couch potatos). Here’s to a great August! 
Congrats to Blade on a Group Four win a Purina Farms on Saturday.
Congrats to Scout Silverblade Brown Owner Handled Group 4 at the Moberly Kennel Club Show (Jim forgot this was a happy moment and how to SMILE).
Congrats to Bleugras Brown Hearts on Fire for taking a Best of Breed in Kentucky.
Translated it means “of the Browns House Kennels.”
It is an announcement of a new German Shorthair Pointer Kennel incorporating old European tradition with modern day science in breeding. Our motto is one of HOPE. Home, Obedience, Performance and Excellence.
Home - Dog of sound temperment, loving house and companion dogs
Obedience - Dog breed with traits making them strong candidates for advanced training
Performance - Dogs breed with the ability to compete in field, agility, and/or conformation
Excellence - Dogs bred free of health defects with proper health clearances
The kennel will operate under the following guidelines:
Each year one litter will be produced and will be named alphabetically.
No breeding stock will be sold to the public.
All official AKC or other registry name will carry the “Vom Browns-Haus” suffix as part of the official name.
Meet or exceed the breeder requirements outlined by the AKC and Breed Club for German Shorthaired Pointers.
No puppies will be released before 9 weeks of age and no puppy in the state of Missouri can be transported before 8 weeks of age.
Other information will become available over the next few weeks as Incorporation of the new Kennel is completed including recommended trainers and other services through the life of your dog.
It is planned that over a 27 year period, (I am assuming I will live that long) and on an assumed average of 8 pups per litter, 216 pups would be produced. 10% of them will typically be considered show quality and of those some of them will find thier way back into our own kennel to improve the breed. 70% would be involved in other competitive events or activites and 20% would typically be listed as companion dog status.
Regards
Jim Brown

Dogs are our link to paradise. They don't know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring--it was peace. -- Milan Kundera
