the Prez Sez
We’re almost through another year! MPBA has been very busy again this year
attending multiple events. We also have some upcoming events: for Halloween this year, at our office in Lebanon, Missouri, MPBA will be holding a costume contest! In November we will have the FFA speaking contest. We are looking for judges for the FFA speaking contest. If you would like to volunteer to help judge one of our districts, please contact us by email at 4agfriends@gmail.com. We are also gearing up for our Annual Educational Conference in March 2026! Mark your calendars now to attend! Visit our website for updates on speakers and events for those two days. And between now and then, here’s hoping the pet market gets better for everyone. Kevin Beauchamp, MPBA President

from your Publicity Director
weather has FINALLY started to cool off. Our cover photo is a lovely German Shepherd owned by Maverick German Shepherds. She was a sweet furry friend who attended our 2025 MPBA Conference. We appreciate the opportunity to feature her on our magazine cover! We have a lot of exciting plans for our 2026 Educational Conference. We hope you will join us! We also have some fun contests with fantastic rewards currently open to kids of MPBA members! Take a look through the magazine to find ads with more information! In this issue you will find a historic story about a Missouri dog that not only caused a new legal precedent to be set, but was also the inspiration for the well-known and loved phrase, “A dog is man’s best friend”. Take a look for yourself, and I hope you enjoy all you find within the magazine. Happy reading! Hannah Gordon, MPBA Publicity Director
