Fran Reisman started going to dog shows in New York in the early ‘70s with her sisters Honi (now an Afghan Hound judge) and Carol (a Group and BIS judge) and their Afghan Hounds and Borzoi, which included many champions and a National Specialty BIS winner.

In 1983, Fran went out to the Afghan Hound National Specialty show in Santa Barbara, Calif. She has stayed there ever since and was soon working for Paul Lepiane and Bo Bengtson on The Afghan Hound Review and Poodle Variety. Soon after Sighthound Review made its appearance. Paul, Bo and Fran spent the next 25 years producing some of the best single-breed magazines anywhere, as well as Sighthound Review. In 1997 they started the all-breed magazine Dogs In Review, which quickly became a worldwide success.

In 2003 Fran took over publication of The Afghan Hound Review. During the years that Erika Tonder published The Sighthound Magazine, Fran was the U.S. representative. She has stayed with the magazine since that time, working with Bo and the new publisher Dawne Deeley.

Fran is now looking forward to continue working with Sighthound breeders, owners and handlers and new publishers Denise Flaim and Theresa Lyons.
