I renewed mid Dec at a dog show with a Bowtie rep - kinda annoying, as
I haven't even gotten my first renewal issue.

I have to agree. I still subscribed to the magazine but it was fairly
typical of Bowtie's offerings - short articles, same old-same old,
typical format and LOTS of advertising. There were some decent articles
but overall the magazine IMO was lacking (kinda feel the same about
Dog Fancy and to a tad bit lesser degree Dog World these days too).
