This is a Great Magazine for Anyone Owning a Canine
Oct 21, 2008
Dog Fancy is a magazine that prides itself on being the most knowledgeable periodical about dogs, and it shows by the way they structure their articles and the topics that they take on. Dog Fancy features articles about canine health, nutrition, behavior and breeding. In addition to those, there are often articles that look at the comedic side of dogs, and just what goes on inside their minds. Dogs are very interesting creatures, and this magazine helps readers, and dog fans to see every aspect of man's best friend.
Each month, Dog Fancy dedicates the magazine to a specific breed. This is something that can appeal not only to dog lovers, but to the impulse buyers who are going through the check-out counter, and see that their dog type, a bulldog, is getting center stage this month. The best thing about them switching the primary dog breed each month is that the magazine then has no chance of becoming stagnant.
Aesthetics
Dog Fancy is a beautiful magazine that shows canines at their best and brightest. It is a full color magazine, and normally runs close to 140-150 pages per issue. The best part about it is of course the full color photos that it provides of dogs every month. In addition to that, it does not pigeonhole itself to specific picture types, or breeds when showing off the pictures. Instead it ranges from action shots down to dogs sleeping, and everything in between. The pictures make the magazine fun to read, and fun to look at simultaneously.
Features
As with any magazine, Dog Fancy has feature stories that are designed to draw the reader in, and provide them with something interesting to read. This magazine usually provides between 8 to 10 feature stories that are the main part of the magazine. Of those, there are usually about 3 that are headlined on the cover, and intended to pique the interest of potential buyers of the magazine. The topics of these features can be anything, and I have seen such stories as: "Body Building for Dogs", "New Rx for Canine Healthcare", and "Solving Top Behavior Problems". The great thing is that the stories cover the spectrum of dog topics, and are all interesting in their own way.
Sections and Columns
There are several sections & columns that appear in each issue, and take a different spin each time that a new issue comes out.
Bark Back -- This section includes everything that the reader has to offer to the magazine itself.
Newshound -- This is a bank of news stories that talk about how dogs are being viewed in the media, as well as dogs participating in high-visibility jobs.
Everyday Dog -- This is another group of columns that talks about things that cross the paths of dogs throughout the day.
Checkup -- Think of this as the exercise / bodybuilding section of Dog Fancy. It gives all kinds of stories from leading vets and covers how to keep your dog healthy.
Dog Fancy is a great magazine for anyone who is a fan of dogs. It’s not just geared to avid dog enthusiasts, and a reader doesn’t even have to own a dog to read it. This is a magazine that is set up to provide as much knowledgeable information about dogs as it possibly can, and with the wide variety of topics, and stories that it covers, it makes for a great coffee table magazine in any house. Dog Fancy helps people to see everything that dogs have to offer, and even the great feats that they are able to accomplish on a daily basis.
