Frequently Asked Questions from Advertisers
Your ads are the most affordable around -- $250 for full color and $100 for black and white. What's the catch?
There is none. Our advertising rates are all inclusive. There is no extra charge for additional photos, advertising elements, flashes or bleeds.
Where will my ad be placed in the magazine?
Our magazine has only four premium positions -- the front and back covers and the inside front and back covers. All our other pages are first come, first serve. Unlike other magazines, who charge a premium for the first run of color pages, we feel that everyone should be given a chance to be up front in the magazine. So our formula is simple: We place in the order they are received. If you want to be up front, get your ad in early. It's as simple as that.
What's this Ouch-Free Advertising about?
Essentially, Ouch-Free Advertising is an installment plan that makes planning a year of full-color advertising simple, painless and affordable. You agree to advertise in four consecutive issues of the magazine, and we bill your credit card $60 for 12 consecutive months for a single color page, or $110 per month for a two-page color spread.
In this way, you make a monthly payment that basically amounts to what you would pay for a nice dinner with a friend, and you get a full-color ad in a year's worth of issues at the lowest rate we offer. Plus a free Priority Mail subscription.

How do your discounts work?
We have several standing discounts for all breeds as well as breed-specific discounts in every issue.
New advertisers receive 10 percent off their ad. (Since Sighthound Review have been in existence for more than a quarter-century, we are defining "new advertisers" as anyone who has not advertised in the last year.)
Each issue of Sighthound Review offers two breed-focused discounts. The COVER BREED is (naturally) on our cover and has expanded content in our magazine. Advertisers from this breed receive 20 percent off.
The SPOTLIGHT BREED is the subject of our Breed Roundtable, an in-depth discussion of the breed by its most respected judges, breeders and fanciers. Advertisers from this breed receive 15 percent off.
Please note that every issue of Sighthound Review contains stories and articles about every AKC-recognized Sighthound breed, as well as coverage of other "rare" Sighthounds.
Discounts cannot be combined.
Any other discounts?
Yes. Our New Champion ads are a great value at $175 each for full color.
How do I inquire about a cover position?
Our covers are very popular, and there usually is a waiting list for any given quarter. That said, advertisers can and do change their minds, so we encourage anyone who is interested in a cover to contact us directly. We can let you know when our next cover is available, or how to get on the waiting list for a pending cover featuring your breed.
