“We are very pleased to receive nominations for our two flagship magazines, but we are equally delighted to receive a nomination in the special publication category for our publication that best promotes responsible dog ownership, the AKC New Puppy Handbook, which is sent to every new owner of an AKC-registered dog,” said AKC Associate Publisher John Woods

"This handbook is filled with solid, practical advice about getting your puppy started on a wholesome, happy path. We cover such necessary topics as what and how to feed your puppy, how to keep your puppy looking its best, proper veterinary care, and, of course, training." Dennis B. Sprung, AKC President
