OUR COVER CIRCLE M ' S " SENSE OF DIGNITY "
With Cheyenne Maynard - Photo by Jessie Maynard
I was scrolling through Facebook one day and ran across the cutest post of a family playing in the snow with their APBT . The moment I saw it my mind said .... COVER ! Sometimes great things can flourish from social media .

I want to add my own tribute to the memory of Rich Issel - see page 59 .
Rich gifted me my very first APBT , Issel ’ s “ Capone ’ s Stunt Double ” - aka Rusty / Pony Boy . He was my pick of the litter , and I couldn ’ t wait for him to arrive on his flight .
My kids and I traveled with him to our first sanctioned conformation show in Colorado . The photo on the left was taken of my daughter , Asia , outside of a truck stop . She was 3 at the time ; she ’ s 26 now !
Rich ’ s gift changed my life in regards to the APBT breed . His pedigree is below .
