    The dynamic duo is back this week!! Will and Y go over everything you missed and more!! They have some good debates on a few current events that have happened over the past few weeks, which leads into this week's Question of the Week found on Facebook. Would we at CKC shows benefit from a field rep type of position as they do in the AKC? Will has a chat with Patricia Proctor retired head of AKC field reps for some valuable insights to the position. Let us know what you think and how you feel about it. They two also go over the previous week's question of what piece of advice has been given to you that has stuck with you. Glad you are back with us, so buckle up and enjoy the ride.
