A PUBLIC OUTREACH THE IMPORTANCE OF THE AGILITY MOTION AND A LEGAL ONE AS WELL Perhaps the single most critical vote in AKC’s history is to be voted Well an attempt is to be made by AKC to make a public outreach upon by the Delegates at the March Meeting. This of course is the to enable clubs to solicit entries in their areas from registered amendment proposed by the Board to open the doors of AKC for Agility registrants (dogs) in their area where shows are being held.

The practical Mr. Kalter specifically should be congratulated for taking this stand implementation and the Board decisions of at least the past 15 or as Agility has become the fastest growing event arm of AKC and is no 20 years permitting shows to be held out of their geographic areas, doubt largely responsible for AKC reaching the highest number of event frequently centered in one location, say in New England, Georgia participants in its history in the year 2012!

The March Delegates’ Meeting

W

hen the Delegates to the American Kennel Club meet for their Annual Meeting on March 12th at the Doubletree Newark Airport hotel, they will be asked to vote on some major issues:

E

LECTION OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS: There are seven candidates seeking the four vacancies Class of 2017. They are Carl C. Ashby, III – Incumbent/Nominee; Alan Kalter – Incumbent/Nominee; Gail LaBerge – Nominee; Harvey M. Wooding – Nominee; Lee Arnold – Incumbent/Petitioner; Judith V. Daniels – Former Director/ Petitioner; and Thomas Davies – Former Director/Petitioner. The top four candidates receiving a highest majority of the votes cast will be elected to serve for the next four years.

It is interesting to note that two former Board members are seeking to return as petitioners: one who previously also served AKC’s President before being fired in tumultuous times for the AKC; and the other who was out only a year ago due to Term Limits, his candidacy sort of invalidating the idea of Term Limits (a sitting Board member can only serve two consecutive terms and then must sit out at least a year before being eligible to run again for a Board Seat), as one year off the Board means nothing.

Another current Board member whose four-year term seat expired has not been re-nominated, but is running as a petitioner.

This makes all three petitioners either sitting or past Board members.

In addition, one of the nominated candidates has only been a Delegate for a year – something in my mind that is refreshing as he would bring new ideas and concepts given his background in the business world and mostly performance events. It was in recognition of this need that the Nominating Committee selected him to run as a nominee.

Amendments to AKC’s Bylaws to be voted on: Article III, Objects of the Club – if passed, this would add as an additional object AKC’s support of canine health research. This is merely an emphasis of what appears in AKC’s Mission Statement, which is to advance canine health and should pass quite easily without further ado.

Article IV, Section 1 and 3 – designed to expand eligibility requirements for AKC membership to permit licensed agility clubs that meet the eligibility requirements to apply to become an AKC member club – this amendment should generate some discussion.

Those in favor maintain that all licensed clubs should be member clubs regardless of their type of sport. Those opposed point to the fact that many members of agility clubs are also members of clubs that are already accepted into membership; there is also fear that the large number of agility clubs that hold the current or potential membership requirements would overwhelm the Delegate Body in terms of sheer numbers; they believe that AKC needs to take a look at its entire membership structure with an idea of separating the Delegate Body into the various types of dog sports and holding a combined meeting at the Annual Meeting – this requires a revamping of all Bylaw provisions concerning Delegates, their affiliations, meeting issues and other structural concerns; those opposed be-

lieve this is a piecemeal approach that does little to address the real crux of the issue, which is the need to look down the road to prepare AKC for the future and its demands.

Article XVIII, Section 1 – if passed, which would reduce the number of yearly Delegate meetings from four to three, with a suggestion that these meetings be expanded from two days to three days in order to enable increased attendance at the various Delegate Committee meetings. Judging from the various Email Lists this topic has generated more discussion than any others, yet it is not the most important (the agility amendment is more important than this one, yet there has been little mention of it). Those who favor keeping the Delegates’ meetings at four a year point to the ability to discuss issues with other Delegates and have one-on-one talks with various AKC officials. In addition, they feel this affords them the opportunity to be timelier with issues as they arise and gives them more opportunities to sit in on more Committee Meetings. Those opposed suggest that there are other ways to communicate than face-to-face in this day of various electronic media; they point to the fact that fewer meetings mean a saving in the cost of attending those meetings for both clubs and those Delegates who pay their own expenses; and four meetings a year are really not necessary given the amount of work that is actually done by the Delegate Body as a whole at an official meeting.

All of the above Bylaws amendments require a two-thirds positive vote of those present and voting for passage.

In addition to all of this the Delegates will hear reports from AKC’s Board Chairman, President and Chief Financial Officer and other matters that may come before the Delegate Body.

The Annual Meeting is the most important of all the Delegate Meetings and draws the largest attendance. This is not only due to the fact that members are elected to the Board of Directors and annual reports are given by AKC officers, but also a holdover from the era when votes on Bylaw and Rule Amendments could only be taken at the Annual Meeting – something that should be considered once again. Holding votes of By-law amendments only at the Annual Meeting would bring continuity to Delegate actions and help Delegates to focus on their decisions as a whole rather than this piecemeal approach.

All of the above aside, the Delegate Body and the Board of Directors need to roll up their sleeves and attack the real problems of the day: restructuring the Delegate Body, enhancing registration, looking at the fiscal responsibilities of the AKC with an eye towards reducing expenditures with real cuts. The question is whether or not they are willing to do this to prepare AKC for the challenges of the future.

Too many seem to just want to sweep the real problems under the proverbial rug and busy themselves with too many trivial issues and private agendas.

Could It Happen Here???

I

T SEEMS LIKE MANY GENERATIONS AGO, BUT when I started getting interested in dogs, ear cropping as well as tail docking was still legal in Scandinavia. Many of the first show dogs of traditionally cropped breeds, that I met, were born in the mid fifties – and cropped!

Of course we loved the sharper look this gave all breeds involved.

I cannot actually recall the circumstances that led to the cropping ban, but I do remember so many people moaning and complaining about it- and how that was going to be the end of breeds like Boxers, Dobermans, Great Danes, the Schnauzer breeds as well as a number of toy breeds.

Following the ban, we could for a number of years show dogs bred and imported from countries where cropping was still legal- and one of the loopholes was the United Kingdom, where I believe cropping was not banned, but you could not show cropped dogs!

So a number of handsome Boxers and Dobes were imported, cropped, from the UK- they looked sharp and did a lot of winning.

I think many judges still in their head- had as their breed ideals- cropped dogs!

As you know- whenever you try to rule the world by creating more restrictions- in any fieldpeople will always spend a lot of time and energy to find ways to avoid or circumnavigate them!

I do believe that although Norway, Sweden and Denmark banned ear-cropping the same year, Finland for some reason did not!

So for quite a few years a lot of Swedish and even Norwegian breeders transferred their brood bitches into Finnish ownership before they were bred- and as the litter also then had to be born on Finnish territory- countless litters were born

on the ferry between Sweden and Finland- or so they said.

When Finland eventually introduced the ban, we could still show imported dogs, but then from the US or other country where it was still legal.

I am not sure how it works today. I know that the rules vary slightly from country to country, but I don’t really think you will find an ear cropped dog competing at any Scandinavian show.

Remembering what a terrible tragedy the original ban was considered to be by “the old” breeders, most people today seem to think it is perfectly OK and even seem to prefer a natural ear.

Which we thought would never happen.

If you had told me in the 70’s that a tail docking ban would eventually follow, I would not have believed you.

Then a few years later there was some people whispering about it, but again, I believe that we all thought: If we don’t talk about it, the idea will simply evaporate into thin air and go away!

So nothing- or at least very little- was done to fight it at the time. I think we still wouldn’t believe it…

Then of course in, I believe, 1987 we were all met with the new law as a fait accompli- a new law of the land. And we know that at this stage some people went into action, but whatever they did was doomed to fail…

Initially the rules were fairly lenient and quite generous.

You could still dock until a certain date. You could still for many years show dogs docked during the time it was legal, later on as earlier with cropped dogs, imports legally docked where they were born.

Then gradually the belt has been tightened- and today in these countries and most European countries- docked tails are banned…

My wife and I were among the many breeders, who, due to the ban, decided to give up breeds we had successfully bred CONTINUED ON PAGE 78

What is the single most improvement you would like to see for Westminster next year?

PHIL BOOTH I think overall things went better than expected. The one improvement I would like to see is the congestion in the breed winners; benching area at the Garden. It was a huge problem.

JANE MYERS Better security. On Monday we were able to walk out of the Pier with dogs and no one checked anything.

People walked in off the street with their dogs, too.

Also it was impossible to hire private security for your bench. This all becomes an issue when we are at MSG for groups.

NINA FETTER The access from one Pier to another. It was very hard to get to multiple dogs and their rings.

LINDA PITTS We appreciate the hard work done by the show committee and Harry Miller’s team. I thought the show ran amazingly well. However, I think they need to increase the number of public ex-pens for both convenience of exhibitors and welfare of the dogs.

LESLEY BOYES That would be difficult to say; ‘minor tweaks’ that I am sure they are aware of not much! Maybe put some of the bench on either side of Rings behind the Westminster. For the vendors possibly more signage. I know the show is not for vendors but they are a big part for the general public.

CHARLIE OLVIS One thing I think they needed was bleachers for the general public to be able to watch breed judging during the day other than that I think for the first year it went very well; nice venue.

GUY H. FISHER I would personally like to see the shuttles run non-stop throughout the entire day and evening. The two-hour shut-down really posed a lot problems for exhibitors trying to get their equipment and dogs up to the Piers. Other than that, I think the show was great! We hope to be back next year with an even larger string of dogs.

Inside The Sport More On The Judging Community

By Pat Trotter

T

HE SUBJECT THIS COLUMN HAS PURSUED RECENTLY addresses the issue of rapid advancement within the judging community as well as the general consensus of judges’ opinions about AKC’s judging approval system. After continuing my discussions for weeks with judges all over the country, I have come to the conclusion that Lake Wobegon would be a great place to live. All the dogs would be perfect, all the judges would get it right every time they pointed a finger and marked a book and everybody at the dog show would go home happy! There would be no more disagreements in our Utopian world!

However, the sad reality of the situation is that no system is perfect no matter how hard AKC tries to get it right. Even though most agree with the general principle of advancing exceptional judges, few think the implementation of the process has been without flaw. Furthermore, most judges feel they should be advanced much more rapidly than they have been. Perhaps this is because of their diligent seminar attendance and resulting paperwork that gives them certain credentials. Nonetheless, I am hearing that a large segment of the fancy values hands-on experience in dogs over the seminar trail even though they continue to collect certificates of attendance.

One of the founders of organizations promoting the educational process was Shirley Thomas with the group that became Dog Judges of America. Four decades ago DJA began holding open seminars at the Hotel Pennsylvania during the Westminster weekend. These seminars were attended not only by judges and prospective judges but also by those who simply wanted to learn more about dogs. (That was the BC part of my life as “Before Chuck” I never planned to judge) Nonetheless, one of my most vivid experiences entailed a

26 Dog News

lively discussion on the Bull Terrier by the Honorable David Merriam and Mrs. Anne Rogers Clark over the correct proportion for the breed. Mrs. Mackay-Smith was also a presenter at this event, and from the podium she calmly monitored the stimulating dialogue that ensued. To this day the Bull Terrier breed standard does not address proportion. Finally, after participating in the Miscellaneous class from 1963 until entering breed competition in 1991, the Miniature Bull Terrier standard did answer the question by describing the proportion of the breed as giving “the appearance of square.” A good time was had by all as well as a great learning experience.

In our last column (published Feb. 1) we addressed a litany of issues regarding rapid advancement and judges misgivings about the process. Here are some concerns judges have shared about the “box-checking” process of recent years and educational activities that fell short of expectations in preparing judges to judge a breed.

• Although some breed seminars are outstanding, many are just a recitation of the breed standard accompanied by a few pictures resulting in a dull experience that does not energize attendees. Worse, there are times when presenters seem to know much less than attendees. One such case cited involved a presenter not knowing what a croup was, much less what a proper croup was for this breed!

• Some parent clubs seem unable to come up with knowledgeable Judges Education presenters resulting in a general inability for new judges to get valid learning experiences on that breed. You know from your days in school when there is no respect for the competence of the teacher, little learning takes place.

• Prospective judges do not always play fair in their seminar attendance. Judges have been known to attend a large seminar, sign in for both themselves and a friend or spouse who wasn’t even at the venue in order to get certificates. Some judges have reported seminar attendees who signed in and quietly slipped out to return only at the end of the presentation to collect certificates. Then there are those who sleep through class.

• Judges have been known to call master breed-

ers and ask them to be mentors, and then never give the name they have used on their application the opportunity to teach them about the breed! An alarming number of breeders are disappointed that judges are not more interested in learning the fine points of their breed.

And so on and so on. Yet we are not discouraged because we feel the Dr. Robert Smith Chaired committee produced a mission statement designed to improve overall judging performance as time goes on. Both this process and the seminar/accumulated components process have value as strengths are utilized and weaknesses are addressed. Even though at the moment, things are in a state of flux, if all parties involved cooperate in working through the turmoil, good things for dogs, exhibitors and judges can result. This can happen only if every individual who would walk into the ring with a judge’s badge on commits to personal learning and improvement to help better the dog show experience. In hopes of appealing to the judging community, my next column will deal with concerns of exhibitors- lest we forget what makes the dog show possible.

I

N A NEW YORK MINUTE: Ernesto Lara, Dave Frei and that all-important Westminster BIS-winning Affenpinscher Banana Joe were magnificent in their television appearances. Joe captivated the TV crews the same way he did Westminster judges and audience as he put the exclamation mark on his fabulous career. What a way to go out. Fox News’ Shepard Smith also added narrative about the contributions of the late Chet Collier to both Westminster and the Fox Network. Out in Colorado Swagger, the Old English Sheepdog, was equally a star as television crews mobbed him at the big Denver shows that followed Westminster. What an exciting experience for a dog to go from BBE to Reserve BIS at Westminster!

Once upon a time great breeders and handlers “saved” their class animals for Westminster the way they do today for a National-in search of finishing the championship title in glorious style. A fabulous outcome of the new Westminster format is the return of class animals to the show after a twenty-year hiatus. The entire Westminster Kennel Club deserves much credit for working around all roadblocks at Madison Square Garden to retain this prestigious event for the dog-loving public. We understand the TV audience was bigger than ever, and rightly so.

Please feel free to continue your communications with the writer as my next column will address the concerns of breeders and exhibitors regarding the state of dog show judging in the show rings of the United States.

F

OR DECADES, DEDICATED DOG FANCIERS HAVE TRAVELED TO NEW YORK CITY for the Westminster Kennel Club Dog shows as exhibitors, spectators, and judges. This annual pilgrimage always coincides with Valentine’s Day, causing many major last minute purchases in the name of Love. Over the years, I have driven myself crazy in attempts to locate the perfect symbol of Love, dashing around between Madison Square Garden, my hotel, and Macy’s Department Store.

In celebration of my first WKC judging assignment in 2001, Big Michael (BM) traveled to the Big Apple with me along with our two mothers. You can only imagine the “Love Stress” I was under trying to accommodate the special needs of a new partner, his mother, and my very own life-giver. Now, after fourteen years of togetherness, the novelty of watching me judge and being together on Valentine’s Day has worn off and BM’s candid response to, “What did you and Michael do for Valentine’s Day?” (Whether I am judging or not) is, “We went to NYC and I watched my partner examine dog balls in public.”

This year, BM asks lovingly, “If it is OK with you, I would like to join you in New York this year for the Dog Show. I shall arrive on Friday by train from DC. I have to prepare for an important meeting back in DC, which requires me to leave early Monday morning.

I know you will be busy, but we can manage a few dinners. I would like to treat you to a night of theater for Valentine’s Day and we can see a few friends,” BM lovingly communicates and completes his thoughts by asking, “Will you be OK by yourself Monday and Tuesday evenings?”

“Well, actually I will not be able to attend the dog show this year. I, too, will be flying back home early Monday morning to go straight to the office to complete a major grant-funding opportunity,” I say.

“Then we will only need a hotel room for three nights, theater tickets, and restaurant reservations. I packed my tuxedo as I am assuming you will want me to go to your Dogs in Review Awards thing and the Dog Writers Association Awards Banquet, too. You make all the arrangements. Let me know the details and I will 30 Dog News

see you in two weeks…Oh, and one other thing, its Chinese New Year’s, too---Let’s plan on lunch. You pick some place special for the two of us to celebrate the New Year,” BM declares through the open window of his vehicle, as he departs rural Virginia for his office in Washington.

When it was announced that the breed judging would take place at the Piers 92 and 94 the entire dog community went into a tailspin. All year long Westminster made press releases explaining steps that were being taken to assure the comfort of the dogs and handlers. The more one read, the more fearful one became.

T WAS NOT UNTIL ALL THE PLANS WERE ACTUALLY witnessed that all participants became believers in the new arrangements. For years these same doubters had suggested that the breed judging should take place at the Javits Center or the Piers. This was the first time in 137 years that the breed judging was held outside of Madison Square Garden.

It truly is a new beginning for Westminster. Now the dogs can be judged in rings to their best advantage. The grooming and benching are so much more comfortable for man and beast. The only downside was that it was difficult at times to watch the breed judging. Only having one row of seating and no theatre seating made watching difficult at times. Steps have already been taken for next year with bleacher seating that will be around the rings. Anytime a show moves to a new venue it takes at least one year to work out some of the details. The Westminster committee has to be congratulated and thanked for the CONTINUED ON PAGE 00

Welsh Corgis At The current exhibition at the Kennel Club Art Gallery in London, ‘The Welsh Corgi in Art and Literature’, which runs until the 19th July, for me ticks all the right boxes.

By Nick Waters

I

T’S HISTORICAL, INFORMATIVE, HAS AN EXCEPTIONALLY good mix of literature, pictures, sculpture and ephemera and unlike some past single breed exhibitions, has not relied on collectable ‘tat’ to bulk it up. All this has been achieved in a breed which in the grand scheme of things is not all that old.

The exhibition celebrates the 75th Anniversary of the Welsh Corgi League, which was established in 1938 to promote the interests of and safeguard the Pembroke Welsh Corgi which, after years of being one of the nation’s favourites, is now on the Kennel Club’s ‘At Watch’ list and is at risk of becoming a vulnerable native breed due to declining puppy registrations.

A few Cardigan pieces have found their way into the exhibition, including B. Howitt-Lodge’s portrait of Bob Llwyd ,who is behind many of the breed’s early champions, an album owned by Mrs. Power of the Hannaford kennel, and two terra-cotta models.

The Pembroke Corgi is fortunate to have the patronage of Her Majesty The Queen who

It is 90 miles across the water from Florida to Cuba, and those waters have currents mired in political differences and difficulties. But for dog fanciers on both sides, the enthusiasm and the devotion to our dogs is a universal tie.

Talking with MIGUEL and LORETTA CALVO about SHOWING DOGS in CUBA

HEN WE FIRST STARTED TELLING FRIENDS WE WERE GOING TO CUBA for a couple of weeks on one of the newly US government authorized “Peopleto-People” exchanges, dog shows and dog people were not on our agenda.

We were thinking art and politics, old cars and wonderful music. Then one of our friends gave us their copy of the November 2012 edition of National Geographic.

Flipping though the pictures before reading the articles (isn’t that how you read National Geographic?), we saw a photo with dogs - and wait, look - one, two, several Pedigree dog towels, a ProPlan duffle. And then we started to notice other things about the picture: grooming brushes, someone with that tired look of too long of a day at the dog show, the grooming tables.

Being the average American dog fanciers, paying little attention to international shows, Miguel with a three day old Rottweiler puppy

RUFTS IS VERY NEARLY WITH US AND THE EXCITEMENT IS BUILDING, well it is in this household! For those who have never attended then it is huge! And bring comfortable shoes if you are planning on walking around for 4 days, and you can shop till you drop at the sea of trade booths.

Crufts 2013 has drawn an entry of 20,566, the entry is down on last year by 463 dogs and the lowest total since 1997. Nevertheless the show remains the biggest to be held in the world since last year’s Crufts, the closest being the World Show in Austria which drew 18,607 dogs.

One encouraging feature is that the overseas entry has topped 2,000 dogs for the first time. A total of 2,131 dogs from 41 countries will take part, including dogs from Hong Kong, India, Indonesia and Malaysia, none of which have previously been represented.

The highest breed entry comes in Labradors with 490 dogs for the two judges. Golden Retrievers are next with 454 dogs and three other gundog breeds top 300 dogs: Cockers 367, Irish setters 351 and Flat Coated Retrievers with 337. Hounds are topped by Whippets with 416. Border Collies top the herding with 379. Staffordshire Bull Terriers have 361. Toys are topped by Cavaliers with 334. Rottweilers top the working group with 224 and Dalmatians top the non sporting group with 215. All these breeds, with the exception of Dalmatians, will have two judges. However the highest breed for a single judge are Border terriers where the judge Jayne Gillam has 274 dogs to judge, so a busy day for her.

In days gone by, Crufts used to be the first major championship show of the year. Nowadays the Manchester Dog Show Society has preceded it. Normally the Kennel Club will only allow championship shows to hold them within their area, and are quite strict about it. However, we are a small island and venues are difficult to find. Manchester is a major northern city, however a venue, large enough to hold a three day show, was impossible to find. Also the weather in January makes it impossible to hold a show outside. So the Kennel Club allows them to use the very popular show centre in Stafford, and also in a separate county.

There was a lot of speculation as to how the show would fare with news of impending snow. There was a little snow on the first day but the second day was quite different. I was an early arrival and all was ok, but then it started to snow, and it just never stopped, and most exhibitors decided on an early departure. This was a four-day and by the third things had improved quite a lot.

Best in show went to the big winning German Shepherd Ch Elmo vom Huhnegrab, bred in Germany by Sieger Zamp vom Thermodos ex Ofi vom Huhnegrab. He was top herding in 2010 and won the group at Crufts. He is owned

by John and Sandra Cullen and handled by Steve Cox. For reserve it was the winner of the working group Fiona Lambert, Janet Hughes and Pat Murray’s Bouvier Ch/Dutch Ch I’m Special Inessence Movado at Kanix, he is all American breeding,sired by Am Ch I’m Special Every Move I Make ex Am Ch Praxters Jenni.

OG FANCIERS, INDIVIDUALLY OR AS A GROUP, are often called upon to demonstrate their resilience in the face of ongoing change. Whether that resilience is triggered by personal circumstance, pressures occasioned by societal shifts or a wide variety of other variables it is of little consequence. This is not new; the ability to respond to change has been part of the dog fancier’s DNA since the first dog took a prize.

The success of the characteristic response to the need for resilience was probably never more stunningly demonstrated than at the 2013 Westminster show. Most people did not know what to expect and for those whose history goes back to the epic shifts involving the last two Westminster show sites, it was “let’s wait and see what happens”. Would it be wonderful? Would it be terrible? Would a third of the entry be lost between the garment district and the Hudson River? No one really knew.

Happily, everyone who participated in this Westminster at any level deserves to be very proud of themselves for rising to an uncertain situation and contributing to its resounding success. For the first time in a long time the rings were large enough for dogs to be shown to advantage. There was ample space for effective benching and the facilities for grooming were dramatically superior to the situation at the last two Westminsters.

The natural sunlight streaming through the glass walls of Piers 92 and 94 contributed a more open vista to all the breed level judging. It lent a brightness to the day heretofore unknown.

The bus service supplied by Westminster rendered the commute between the Piers and the Garden reasonably comfortable and efficient. Under the best of circumstances, getting around midtown can be daunting. With the bus service, travel between points A and B was both comfortable and efficient.

Of course, not everyone agreed with the idea that Westminster at the Piers was so complete a success. But what falls short of complete in the first year can be honed to better approach perfection in the years ahead.

Those who remember the first Westminster in the present Garden will recall the devastating blizzard that descended on New York that Sunday. About half the dogs entered were absent, and that was fortunate. If the majority of the dogs entered had appeared, the New Madison Garden could easily have sunk into chaos. After seeing what the facility could handle, those in charge wisely went to the split group format still in successful use today.

The breed judging segment at Westminster finally has the space it needed to provide not only rings of adequate size, but benching spacious enough to display the dogs and provide a platform for communication between the dog fancy and the dog interested public. We, the Fancy, need every opportunity for public outreach. In a world where we must compete on a daily basis with rescue, adoption, animal rights groups and more who’d love nothing better than to shut us down. Today, more than ever we need the positive spin and the top shelf image Westminster provides us.

Was the new format perfect? Of course not, but this brings in the fine art of the tweak, if you will. I heard several spectators bemoan the relative scarcity of ringside seating. Hopefully, this will be addressed in the future.

However, the ringside layout at the present Garden also had one row of seats on the long side of each ring. At least with the available space at the Piers, there could be more space for more rows of seats; even bleacher

seating might be a viable option. Time will tell and Westminster has always been a work in progress. I think most of us go to Westminster or any other show to view the dogs. We all appreciate somewhere to sit, but given the choice most fanciers would prefer to view great dogs while standing than sitting down at eye level with a view of the back of a spectator’s head.

Food service was somewhat disjointed, but the patient did not go hungry, and this too may be streamlined in the future. Of course the choices for eating places near the Piers is nowhere near the dazzling assortment near the Garden, but there is good food to be found on the West Side. All it takes is some looking. Fast food and brown bag options are also available. Just the same, if you come to Westminster, you come to see dogs, not to eat.

The vendor area was challenging. It was crowded and those who were there did not move quickly when they moved at all. That having been said, many who visited the vendor area had never seen some of the products and services we take for granted. Spectators had questions and requirements and needed to be catered to. Those who manned the booths for spectators had questions and requirements and needed to be catered to. Those who manned the booths for Take the Lead, the AKC and Westminster as well as the Animal Medical Center were kept busy all day answering questions, important and inane. For this part of Westminster, patience was definitely a virtue.

As a former vendor, I can absolutely guarantee this. But again, I would like to think that physical improvements will come in time. I also think time will prove me right.

How wonderful it was to have class dogs returning to Westminster. When that Old English won the Herding Group from the Bred-by class, it was not the first time a class dog carried its Group colors into the BIS ring. But when this talented young bobtail finished his run with a Reserve Best in Show, it demonstrated the lofty heights competition can reach.

Of course there was the inimitable Jose del Platano capping his brilliant show career with the win most can only ever dream of. In winning Westminster, Banana Joe becomes the first of his breed to join the rarefied company of Westminster Best in Show winners and (at least in my opinion) he fully deserves the high honor he has just been accorded.

I think that in years to come, more class dogs will walk onto the Piers and so swell the entry to the 3200 level. I think that the characteristic resilience of all typical dog fanciers will be proudly proven over and over again and I think Westminster will enter a new age in which purebred dogs and all who love them will reach an apex of which we can all be proud.

The 137th Westminster show was my 58th and I can truthfully say I found it as enjoyable as any I had ever attended. I hope you also enjoyed Westminster this year and that we can all anticipate great things in Westminster’s and our future. Let’s see what comes next.

Thank you for reading.

DNA Technology Gets the Scoop on Owners Who Don’t Pick Up After Their Dogs

ENDANGERED FECES “The PooPrints waste management system is being marketed to apartment complexes, home owner and condo associations, gated communities and dog parks. Even entire cities like Dallas, TX have shown interest in using it,” Eric Mayer says. He is the Director of Business Development for PooPrints’ parent company, BioPet Vet Lab. PooPrints sells DNA Kits that include a swab that’s used to swab the inside of a dog’s cheek. The swab is then sent to BioPet Vet Lab for analysis to determine the dog’s DNA. Once known, the dog’s DNA and its owner’s information are entered in the company’s DNA World Pet Registry database.

“The cost for DNA analysis and registration ranges between $30 and $50 depending upon the services provided by PooPrints. For example, if we have a technician onsite to register multiple dogs and do the swabbings, the cost is higher. The property management using the PooPrints system absorbs the cost, or it is passed on to the resident dog owners,” Mayer says.

According to him, all of the information entered in the database is kept confidential and is securely stored online.

“No one has access to the information other than the dog owners themselves and the property manager,” he says. “The information is not sold to anyone nor is it used for any other purpose such as identifying the number dogs of a particular breed.

The terms and conditions of the Nuggets for Nuggets DNA registry are posted online at the In an effort to raise public DNA World Pet Registry.” awareness and thereby help rid the city of the piles SOLVING THE “POO” of dog waste left behind DONE IT MYSTERY by neglectful pet owners, New Taipei City in northern After all of the dogs residing on the Taiwan gave a lottery ticket property are registered in the DNA to anyone turning in a database, it’s easy to identify any bag of doggie droppings future offenders and their owners. to government cleaning “If fecal matter is left behind in crews between August the future, a small sample of it is and December 2011.

P

ILES OF DOG WASTE LEFT BEHIND BY SOME OWNERS PROBABLY are the No. 1 pet peeve among those who are not fond of canines.

A unique waste management system aims to “encourage” those negligent dog-walkers to pick up their pet’s droppings. Using a DNA based pet registry, PooPrints™ positively IDs the “poop-e-trators.” Once the dogs are identified, their owners may be subject to hefty fines.

“PooPrints is not meant to be a heavy-handed enforcement program.

It’s intended to be a deterrent that encourages most owners to pick up after their pets. Very few fines actually are levied after the dogs are registered in the system,” Mayer says.

PooPrints is not involved with enforcement measures, i.e., warnings and fines. Its role is limited to dog and owner database registration and DNA analysis and matching.

MASS ELIMINATION BioPet Vet Lab is a biotechnology company located in Knoxville, TN that specializes in animal genomics. It launched PooPrints™ in 2010. Less than three years later, the waste management system has clients in 35 states across the country including Arizona, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Texas. It also has clients in Canada, Singapore and Israel. Owners who think this kind of DNA testing is invasive may have to resign themselves to it. Given the waste management system’s rapid growth in such a short period of time, it’s likely to become more common.

(BioPet Vet Lab’s other pet related services include DNA Proof of Parentage™, which provides accurate parentage testing for canines.)

THE BIG STINK According to information posted on the PooPrint’s website, the typical pile of dog waste contains three billion bacteria and parasites that often find their way into the ground water or pollute lakes, streams and rivers. Bacteria and parasites can survive in the ground as well and be transferred dog-to-human. Because children often play on the ground and frequently put their hands into their mouths, they’re most at risk of infection in areas where droppings are allowed to remain on the soil and contaminate it.

Of course, bacteria and parasites can be transferred dog to dog in addition to dog to person. Removing waste greatly minimizes any contagion that could lead to canine illness and result in veterinary expense for the cost of treatment.

“DNA registration with the PooPrints system has other advantages for dog owners,” Mayer says. “PooPrints DNA Kits serve as a form of pet identification that supplements microchips. PooPrints registered dogs wear green numbered ID tags attached to their collar. If a dog wearing one of these tags is lost, anyone who finds it may contact the DNA World Pet Registry at the phone number listed on the tag. Our staff member would then contact the property’s management or the owner directly and provide information concerning the whereabouts of the lost dog.”

Because DNA Pet World Registry is a secure online storage area for pet information, owners also may post their dog’s veterinary records, inoculation history and photos.

Because all of the data is stored online, it can be accessed by the owner anywhere in the world if need be.

“If an owner is traveling with his pet and it becomes sick, he may access his dog’s health records in the DNA World Pet Registry database and provide that information to the local veterinarian treating it,” Mayer says.

Likewise, if owners are forced to evacuate with their pets due to a disaster or unable to return to their home for the same reason, they may access their pet’s health information in the online database regardless where they take shelter. Or, if their pet is lost while they’re traveling, owners may download and print copies of their pet’s photo to distribute or post.

T THE END OF JANUARY THE HTM AND FREESTYLE community descend on the Kennel club building at Stoneleigh for the Rugby dog training clubs show. As well as the intermediate and advanced classes in both divisions this show also has the Crufts semi finals. This year the weather has not been great in January so at one stage it looked like many handlers might not be able to get to the venue due to being snowed in.

I think if the semi finals had been a week earlier many teams might have struggled to get there and as it was a few handlers from the north west had scary journeys to get to the venue due to a deluge of snow overnight.

Rugby dog training club have been running this show for a number of years and have everything organised well. There is always good food on offer which is essential at a winter show where you need something warm if you are waiting around.

I got to the venue early as I had two dogs qualified for the freestyle semi finals but also I was judging two of the other scheduled classes so it was going to be a busy day.

Intermediate heelwork to music was the first class and there were seventeen teams entered but this was reduced to thirteen due to some handlers not turning up CONTINUED ON PAGE 134

Mais Oui French Bulldogs Are Performance Dogs

By M.J. Nelson

A

T FIRST GLANCE, THE TINY FRENCH BULLDOG WOULD SEEM TO BE an unlikely candidate for any performance activity. Its build appears to be less than ideal for any sport where jumping is involved. It’s also a brachycephalic breed, which would be considered another limiting factor in the dog’s ability to perform. But, say a number of Frenchie owners, this is a misconception. “It has been great fun to take a breed that is not typically considered a performance dog and show just how talented, capable and versatile they can be,” said Deb Stevenson. “They have so much HEART. They are such devoted little guys who love their people deeply and take joy in doing anything as long as it’s with the people they love. So, naturally, they enjoy any sport or activity that involves attention, rewards and even accolades. They really do love to be told how wonderful they are at regular intervals.

While they are often thought to be, and certainly can be, stubborn, they have a strong desire to please and most are pretty interested in food. They are also very intelligent, a trait many don’t associate with a bulldog but they learn quickly, retain information well and they really are a ‘thinking’ breed. Provided you make it fun, they love training and learning new things. A significant number of Frenchies are ‘hams’ that naturally enjoy performing and provided you take the proper precautions and considerations, many are a lot more athletic than people would think.”

“Frenchies are very people oriented and are very eager to please. They are happy to interact with you and I love watching them learn.”

Stevenson has to be considered something of an authority on the French Bulldog as a performance dog since she owns Soren (MACH2 PACH3 ARCHX UAGII UAGI UCD Daulokke’s Une Valliant Grosse SilverROM Gold-VOM CD CD-H RAE2 MXB2 MJS2 MXP11 MXPC MJP9 MJPG PAX3 XF OFP T2BP PD2 PG1 PK1 TBAD C-ISA C-ISLA C-BAA RL3-AOE RL2X-AOE RL1X-AOE CGC) who has 100 titles and his daughter Audra (Ch JustUs Uptown Girl RN MX MXJ MXB MXJB NAP NJP NFP BIDs SSBs).

“Frenchies are very people oriented and are very eager to please.

They are happy to interact with you and I love watching them learn.

My dogs will readily offer behaviors to earn a reward. As long as you approach training a Frenchie with a sense of humor because they are clowns and find a way to motivate them, I think it is possible to train them to do just about anything,” said Michelle Hrnchar, who is the companion/performance/therapy webpage editor for the French Bull-

Brutus (MACH Brutus CD RE MXS MJG NF CGC VOM-G FFX-AP CL-2 RL1-AOE RL2-AOE), one of Michelle Hrnchar’s French Bulldogs, taught her that you have to be careful training a Frenchie if you are more driven than your dogs. Doing something ‘just one more time’ to make it better can be your worst enemy.

While the French Bulldog was originally developed only to be a companion dog, Frenchies have an unusual degree of athleticism, particularly for a breed that so many view as merely being a lapdog. “These dogs are a lot more than just the lapdog that many people think they are. I knew I had to do something with Serena (GCh Dub’L J SoLow Noire Magie O’Crosstrack TD BN CA RN ) because she was such a busy puppy,” said Teresa Morrison.

“She would look for items like her toys around the house and she was on the go all the time so I decided to try tracking with her.

Turned out she loved it. She thinks it’s great doing tracks through the woods, looking for multiple articles, sorting out cross tracks and crossing roads and other surfaces. We’re currently working on getting her VST and TDX and we do tracking about four times a week. I try to fit obedience, rally and agility in her ‘workday’ when I can. It’s important that people try something with their Frenchies because it is good for the breed in all respects but especially because it shows they are versatile and can be sound in both mind and body.”

“W

HEN I STARTED WITH FRENCHIES, THERE WAS A commonly held belief that they were untrainable.

But no one ever told me they couldn’t do performance work and the breed I had was the French Bulldog so I gave it a try. The first dog I trained in obedience got his utility dog title and was the fifth Frenchie to earn that title. There has been a huge increase in the number of Frenchies that have earned performance titles which shows that the breed is indeed trainable. They may not be as fast as some of the other breeds but they are, in general, extremely reliable. Once they understand what is wanted, they do it. There are still some people who don’t think the breed should be doing certain sports and I have heard those comments at agility trials but I really don’t value those folks’ opinions and I try that much harder to prove that the breed can be successful. You just have to find the right motivation for a Frenchie as they can be somewhat stubborn. Food and praise always have worked well for me. There is also something of a ‘what’s in it for me’ mindset in the breed but they do love to be with people. I think that they like to perform and garner attention, petting and treats. They want to please their owners and that makes them want to do whatever we want to do,” said Andrea Morden-Moore DVM, who owns Nikko (TACh2 Spirit Dragon’s Nick at night CD RE OA OAJ AX AXJ MX MXP NP NJP OAP OJP AXP AJP MJP T2BP), who also has a whole bunch of titles from Canine Performance Events agility and the Teacup Dogs Agility Association, Ch TACh Bullmarket Newhope Spiritdragon CD BN RE NJP OAP AXP AJP plus titles from the TDAA (“Luke”) and Sagan (Ch Justus Movin’ Out CD BN RE NA NAJ), who also has titles from the TDAA. “I’ve been overwhelmed by the warm welcome that Bruce (Am GCh Can Ch Floresta Ramnes Riddle Me this CD RA BN TT CGC ROM-S VOM-B) has received in whatever sport we’ve participated which so far includes obedience, rally, agility and lure coursing.

Serena (GCh Dub’L J SoLow Noire Magie O’Crosstrack TD BN CA RN ), Teresa Morrison’s Frenchie, was such a busy puppy that Morrison started her in tracking just to give her something more productive to do than getting into mischief in the house.

Bruce (Am GCh Can Ch Floresta Ramnes Riddle Me this CD RA BN TT CGC ROM-S VOM-B), Tammy McGill’s Frenchie, realized he could make people laugh by zooming a lap around the ring so he began looking for an audience. This is just the way of the breed, according to McGill.

exception as he makes it his mission to engage everyone he meets as a personal friend. They are also clowns and this occasionally shows up in off-leash work. Once he realized he could make people laugh by zooming a lap around the ring, he began looking for an audience. This is just the way of the breed. No matter how frustrating they can be, they are so endearing that I prefer to make my peace with their freewheeling, hamming it up attitude although I strongly encourage sticking with me in the ring rather than playing up to the spectators. You have to be the single most interesting thing inside the ring or a Frenchie will get inventive. French Bulldogs have a special joie de vivre. They are incredibly engaging personalities and like to join in with you everywhere. That focus and eye contact makes them quite trainable. A well-made French Bulldog is a surprisingly athletic companion capable of running and jumping with enthusiasm even if it’s not traditionally elegant. The breed was developed as and excels at being a wonderful partner,” said Tammy McGill.

Kathy Carlson said that one problem for French Bulldogs is the lack of allowance for body type in assigning times and jump heights for agility. “Many of our dogs are very fast but they are not exactly designed for speed or jumping ability and having them held to the same standards as more athletically designed breeds is a barrier to being competitive. Allowances are made for many breeds such as CONTINUED ON PAGE 132

OFF LEASH

HE LATEST ROUNDS OF PET FOOD AND PET TREAT RECALLS HAVE LEFT MANY DOG OWNERS BEYOND OUTRAGED. Not one, not two, not three, but four different recalls were announced this week, leaving dog owners to wonder what if anything is safe to handle and feed to their pets.

The most worrisome and widespread of the recalls involves pet treats due to Salmonella contamination. The Denver, Colorado based Kasel Associates Industries, Inc. is recalling all pet treats it manufactured from April 20 through September 19, 2012. Kasel had previously issued three recall notices for specific products manufactured during this time period, raising questions about just how widespread the problem is, how much did the company know, and when did it know? Kasel was forced to issue the recall after the Colorado Department of Agriculture tested a retail sample of a Kasel pet treat product and found it positive for Salmonella. According to a press release, The U.S. Food and Drug Administration conducted a follow-up inspection and “found that all of the finished pet treat products samples and 48 out of 87 environmental samples collected during the inspection tested positive for Salmonella. More than ten different species of Salmonella were found in the firm’s products and manufacturing facility, indicating multiple sources of contamination.”

The report is simply staggering considering all of the recent findings of contamination. Perhaps even more shocking, all of the products were made in the U.S. The FDA maintains that this Kasel Associates Industries recall is not related to the FDA’s ongoing investigation of pet treats made in China. If this doesn’t force all dog owners to reconsider feeding their dogs treats of any sort, what will?

The Kasel treats being recalled due to Salmonella contamination include chicken jerky treats, lamb jerky, beef jerky, salmon jerky, pork jerky, turkey jerky, bully sticks, beef knuckles, knee caps, hearts of lamb, beef lobster tails, pig snouts, pigs ears and more. The brands affected include Boots and Barkley, Colorado Naturals, Nature’s Deli, Nutri-Pet, and K9. The products had a two-year shelf life and were sold by many retailers, including Target, Petco, Sam’s Club, Costco and more.

Salmonella can affect both people and pets that handle or consume products containing it. People may show symptoms ranging from nausea and vomiting to abdominal cramping to diarrhea and fever, as well as arthritis, muscle pain, eye irritation, urinary tract symptoms, even arterial infections and endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart). Pets may become lethargic, have diarrhea, fever, vomiting, decreased appetite and abdominal pain. Infected but otherwise healthy pets can still be carriers and infect other animals and humans. Salmonella is serious; consumers, manufacturers, state departments of agriculture and the FDA must take precautions to eradicate it from products designed for human and pet consumption.

Nutri-Vet, LLC of Boise, Idaho also voluntarily recalled its NutriVet and NutriPet chicken jerky treats this week because they may be contaminated with Salmonella. These treats were distributed nationwide through online sales and in retail stores from April 2012 through February 2013 — a full 11 months!— and have Best By Dates ranging from April 20, 2014 through October 3, 2014. It should be noted that no positive test results have been found on these products, but Nutri-Vet is recalling them because a manufacturer of an ingredient found in these products informed the company of the possibility of Sal-

monella presence at the manufacturing facility. The FDA reports, “The United States based supplier has ceased the production and distribution of the ingredient supplied to NutriVet while FDA and the manufacturer continue investigating as to the source of the potential contamination.

No other products made by Nutri-Vet, LLC are included in the recall.” This is supposed to allay consumers’ fears, but with the frequency in which these recalls have been coming and the inability to find the source of contamination in chicken jerky treats manufactured in China over the last five years, it still leaves one leery of ever providing such treats to beloved pets.

Possible Salmonella contamination is also being cited as the reason behind a voluntary recall of Honest Kitchen products this week. The San Diego, CA based company, which uses human food-grade ingredients, took this action after learning that one of its raw ingredients suppliers had recalled a batch of parsley that may have been contaminated with Salmonella. The parsley in question was supplied in 2012 and used in the production of five lots of the company’s Verve, Zeal and Thrive dog foods that were sold nationwide and in Canada via retail stores, mail order and online after August 2012. Though the company claims to regularly test for Salmonella and other pathogens as part of its quality control process and has not received any reports of illness associated with these product lots, it is offering consumers a full refund or replacement product. In addition, it has announced that it is enacting these additional precautionary methods: • All dehydrated leafy greens will be steamed, to further protect against the possibility of Salmonella and other pathogens; • All leafy greens will receive a second test for pathogens after arrival at the Company’s manufacturing facility, in addition to the testing conducted internally by suppliers; • The Company has discontinued its relationship with the supplier who provided the parsley used in the production of the lots being recalled.

For questions or more information, contact The Honest Kitchen by phone at 1-866-437-9729 or email at info@thehonestkitchen.com.

Recall!

ASTLY, ON THE RECALL FRONT, the Hy-Vee dog food company issued a voluntary recall of certain bags of its food due to elevated levels of a chemical contaminant commonly found in corn. Routine, random testing performed by the Iowa Department of Agriculture detected higher than normal levels of aflatoxin, which is a naturally occurring chemical produced by the mold fungus Aspergillus, which is often found in corn. Pets that ingest aflatoxin for a period of time may become ill. Hy-Vee officials issued a voluntary recall as a precautionary measure. There have been no illnesses reported in this case, and the product is not believed to pose a health risk to humans handling it, but consumers in Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin who purchased Hy-Vee Complete Dog foods between October 26, 2012 and January 11, 2013 are urged to check their pantries and not to feed this product to their dogs. Full refunds are available from Hy-Vee. Contact 515-559-5770.

It is hoped that the same efforts being spent on damage control can be applied to quality control so that recalls of this nature will one day no longer be necessary. The technology and know-how are largely in place to make this a possibility. For the health of our dogs and ourselves, it must become a reality.

EFORE I START THIS COLUMN I WOULD DIRECT YOU ALL to the FINANCE SECTION of the February Board of Directors Meeting Minutes which are on line in which the new CFO Peter Farnsworth reports on the financial status of AKC without offering ANY figures whatsoever! Is this a new policy or an attempt to hide the financial woes of the organization? Since the new CFO has been appointed this section has either been missing totally or has failed to report any comparative figures.

Certainly this change must have been authorized by the Boardperhaps in Executive Session or the Board Chairman perhaps also in Executive Session. This is a major omission which should not go unchallenged. The problem of course is, who is there to challenge this decision under the existing running of the corporation?

Which of course raises the topic in the headline of this week’s AND MORE Column, which is “who is running the store” at AKC? In the ten -ear period preced-

Who Is Running The Store?...

ing the year of the Kalter Board and according to the various interviews with Ron Menaker contained in at least DOG NEWS the Staff headed by Dennis Sprung was given considerably more leeway in deciding day to day decisions at AKC than ever before. Despite the presumptions made by many that Mr. Menaker was a total take charge man in all aspects of AKC matters I am and continue to be assured by many of the people serving on Staff then and now that this was not necessarily the case. That in fact more responsibility and less interference from the Board was the active policy for staff followed by most Board Members with one very noticeable exception-that of Director Ashby. Whether Mr. Menaker’s policy of minimal Board interference was continued by Mr. Kalter is unknown by me but based on several aspects of the Kalter polices I have been able to analyze and digest I believe there has been a subtle but decided shift from Board reliance on Staff to Board reliance on Delegate Committee involvement insofar as AKC affairs are concerned. I base these presumptions primarily on two factors since I am not the least bit directly privy as to what is actually going on at AKC. First there was Mr. Kalter’s total capitulation to the request of the Delegate Committees to have Staff become the research arm of these Committees. This was in direct conflict with the Menaker Board’s banning on such a relationship which in turn was a major slap in the face to the President of AKC. Secondly, when reading the Board Minutes since Mr. Kalter became Board Chairman the emphasis appears to be on the work of

these Committees rather the Staff itself. And this is something I seriously oppose as should all members of the Fancy including the Delegates themselves!

If my conclusions are correct this is a very dangerous precedent for AKC’s Board to be establishing and one which could totally undermine the AKC in the future. The Constitution of AKC spells out in no uncertain terms what the responsibilities of the Board, Staff and Delegates may be.

Nowhere is the Board granted the right to interfere in the day-to-day operation of the business of AKC and certainly the Delegate Body is totally forbidden to so do. Yet and as predicted when David Merriam and John Ronald teamed together to introduce the concept of Delegate Committees most people with long associations for and about AKC predicted what eventually has occurred would occur which is that these Committees would move in and attempt to actually run the day to day business of the corporation which in fact is going on before our very eyes. Just read the latest Board Minutes and I defy anyone to come to any other conclusion.

What AKC needs today is a very strong Board Chairman who is both proactive with and towards the general public and a person who believes in the traditional functioning of the Board, the Staff and the Delegate Body. AKC does not need to have and should elect as its Board Chairman someone who is going to play games with the Delegates and its Committees to assure him or herself votes. Unfortunately there is no Ron Menaker in the wings waiting to take over. So what will the Board do and how will it vote after the March 12th elections? In my opinion there are two possibilities for someone to fill those shoes-one is sitting Board member Charlie Garvin and the other is the man running for the Board who was Ron’s Vice-Chairman, Tom Davies. Neither is a perfect fit-indeed both have big negatives but overall that’s the choice as I see it anyways if we are to see AKC led in the direction of pro-activity and enlightened positive dog interest.

B A bBLiNG Could It Happen Here??

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

for many, many years- as we did not believe we could get used to the “long-tailed varieties”.

Initially it was total chaos. Judges did not know how to deal with these tails- and breeders were shocked to find what a difference it made to their breed. We saw Airedales and Bouviers winning with tails that on a Basenji or an Elkhound would have looked perfect…

My experience, having lived with a Boxer in my younger days, made me certain it would be the end of that breed. My friend Timmy was rather lively, with an ever wagging tail- I personally believed it would be impossible to keep a dog like him –with a long tail- in any home…

But evidently, I was wrong?

During my latest visit to Crufts- I made a special effort to find out if people’s attitudes had changed?

Lo and behold- it had! Most of the people, mainly sporting dog people, said they actually did not mind the tails- and some even said they preferred it…

Of course there were still a number of people who wished we could rewind the clock till before the banbut I was still shocked- and very, very surprised.

I do not know what is happening re: tail docking in this country, but when I tried to find some information on the internet about dates, etc. for the cropping ban in Norway/Sweden- I was amazed by the number of sites campaigning for introduction of a cropping and docking ban in the US. So don’t for a moment think it will go away.

I can assure you that there are people out there lobbying politicians and trying to influence them about a problem of which they have little knowledge or interest- pushing them in the “wrong” direction. And they will certainly succeed as there are-as far as I knownobody pushing in the other direction…?

I am not familiar with what is required to introduce a federal law in this country- or if animal welfare is up to the individual state?

Is there a possibility that- as what has happened in Canada- that some states ban the procedures while others don’t?

For some obscure reason I think Texas would be the last state to introduce a ban- so maybe we find all breeders of cropped and docked breeds flocking to Texas in a few years- but maybe the other states introduce a ban on showing docked and cropped dogs??

78 Dog News

Might sound stupid, but based on my own experience: While we are sleeping and thinking all will remain status quo, don’t forget that there are fanatics out there, working their little butts off to change the laws.

I did take some time to read through some of their arguments, in some cases ridiculous, that will probably seem reasonable to an uninterested and ignorant politician.

One argument is that very few breeds today are used for the purpose that instigated docking/cropping in the first place.

I have no experience regarding cropping, but in some countries they have amended the laws again due to the fact that so many dogs of previously docked breeds now have so serious tail injuries that they are docked as adults on “medical indications”…and get permission to be shown.

And I believe that in some countries you can still dock puppies intended for use as active sporting dogs.

The list in TKC Kennel Gazette with dogs legally docked seems to get longer and longer.

Having lived with Greyhounds as housedogs for so many years- and all the problems we had with injured/ bleeding tails- I can only imagine how different life with the more active breeds has become.

Also having been involved with farming for many years, I have witnessed so many other fields that could do with some of these animal activists attention. Nobody talks about branding, earmarking or dehorning cattle. Docking sheep and pigs, castration, the way horses are trained in certain areas, etc., etc.

I happen to love dogs- and puppies- but at least for the breeds we were involved with, the docking at the right age did not seem to bother the puppies at all.

I know it might be a little controversial, but I am still for docking as long as it is done by competent people- as the ban has caused more suffering than these fanatics could ever imagine...

But remember, the most competent “croppers” and “dockers” are not necessarily the veterinarians- which in the past has been proven again and again!!

Don’t for a moment believe the old breeders did introduce docking as a routine because they enjoyed doing it, it was actually for a reason…

Which many an active huntsman can testify, based on recent experiences.

But if you are in doubt whether to support any of these bans at all: Take a trip to Crufts or any other major European show- and take a look at Old English Sheepdogs –(Bobtails? , well, maybe in the past), Boxers ; Dobermans, Rottweilers, etc- and I believe you will return plagued by nightmares for a few weeks…

rect your call. Please wait for the next available customer representative,” comes the non-reassuring answer.

After two minutes eleven seconds, I get a response. “Hello, this is Nicole. How can I assist you, Mr. Faulkner?” Other than knowing there is a pending blizzard warning, I attempt to explain my travel situation to Nicole and the USAIR text-alert I received. “No problem, Mr. Faulkner. We have already re-booked you on a Thursday morning flight, if you can manage it. There are no flights available later in the day and I would suggest not attempting to get out on Friday.” I quickly jot down my new flight information and check my watch---6:05 PM. “OH MY GOD--- my tuxedo, my suits, and my shirts are at the dry cleaners and they closed at 6:00 PM!” I panic.

I look out the office window. Down the street I can see the “OPEN” light remains lit at the cleaners. “Hold down the fort, I will be right back and I will explain later,” I manage to blurt out. Dr. L, Nurse MTR, and Office Managers, Cookie and Liz, watch in bewilderment, as I tear out the front door, jump in JEEP, and whip down the village street into the parking lot of Modern Dry Cleaners. Throwing myself out of JEEP, I dash to the entrance door as the owner is coming out, locking the door, and turning off the lights.

“Please, please, please can I pick up my clothes? The airlines have booked me on earlier flight to New York tomorrow, due to the pending blizzard and I need the clothes for the trip.” (Living in a small village truly has its benefits in times of crisis.) “Of course, Michael---no problem. Let me help you,” says Omar, the owner. I pay Omar in cash, leaving a tip, rush back through the door, jump into JEEP, and zoom to the clinic. Everyone looks at me with wondering expressions. I explain my dilemma with far too many details and arm gestures. In the end, my team promises to take care of everything. With haste, I call the Paramount Hotel. I change my arrival date to check in on Thursday afternoon, and I leave the office poste haste to facilitate packing for my early morning departure. I phone the local Chinese restaurant with plans to pick up Chinese take-out for dinner.

“Asia Café,” I speak into DROID. “Asia Café—Can I help you?” “Yes, Mr. G, it’s Michael.” “Oh, yes, Michael how are you? You need order to go?”

“Yes, Mr. G, my usual--- extra spicy. Please. I am in a bit of a hurry, Mr. G, as I have to fly to New York early in the morning for dog-related business.”

“OK, Michael, You BIG DOG MAN! You come! Ready fifteen minute’…and I have something special for you, direct from CHINA!” Mr. G hangs up and I can only imagine what treat he has in store. The last time BM ordered take-out, Mr. G sent home sugar-coated oysters for an after-dinner snack, and the time before that, three raw fish, of indeterminate species, with heads still attached.

Asia Café is a tiny little restaurant, located directly behind McDonalds in the Essex Square strip mall. Mr. G’s mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew are all working behind the counter in the kitchen. His wife and daughter are in China on an extended holiday. “Michael, Michael – here your order to go!. Look here. Try this… basil seed from China.” Mr. G hands me a small glass of water and sprinkles three pinches of basil seeds into it. “You watch! They grow and then you drink. Helpful for your weight--your blood sugar---and your constipation,” Mr. G instructs, as if he were aware of the fact I am too fat, pre-diabetic, and full of shit. I watch the basil seeds swell in the small glass of water. After they more than quadruple in size, he signals me to drink. “You feel better for your trip, and for your dog judging and ceremonies. I drink the basil seed mixture and it tastes like

water, but with the texture of tiny little fish eggs floating around. I smile directly at Mr. G, take a bow, and say, “Thank you!” “You take this and I give you more later.” He hands me a small plastic container filled with basil seeds. “You drink every two day, OK?” I nod my head in agreement. “Oh… Michael…One more thing. When you come back, I need speak to you about a problem I feel. Please come in soon.” I nod in agreement. As I gather my take out order, I take notice of the placemat sitting on the one of two tables, which declares, “2013 is the year of the Snake. It begins on February 10th, shortly after the new moon of Aquarius, the humanitarian of the zodiac. 2013, the year of the Snake, is meant for steady progress and attention to detail. Focus and discipline will be necessary for you to achieve what you set out to create. The Snake is the intuitive, introspective, refined and collected of the Animal Signs. They say a Snake in the house is a good omen, because it means that your family will not starve.

he following morning, I toss Murphy French (our French Bulldog companion) and his bag of personal goodies into JEEP’s passenger seat along with my luggage. The first stop along the way to the airport is Auntie Barb’s house. She is at the garage door when we pull up. Murphy French jumps downs and swiftly runs into her arms, ignoring my goodbyes. “Thanks---I will call you when things settle down.” Jeep turns around in the drive and together we head to the airport for USAIR flight # 3658 to PHL, connecting to flight # 3968 to LGA, arriving at 3:20 PM. Unique to current air travel experiences, I arrive in NYC on time with no delays. The wait for a cab is not more than five minutes and in short order, I am bouncing through Mid-Town, Manhattan toward the Paramount Hotel. The cab driver is a middle-aged man of few words. I choose not to stimulate polite, meaningless conversations, and, instead, activate a DROID search. “Chinese New Year 2013--Year of the Snake,” I type. I read quietly to myself, “The snake feels and senses its way through life and represents spiritual rebirth, elusiveness, and exploration of life’s mysteries…..During Snake years, our concerns turn towards inner-growth, spirituality, and discovering the reasons behind things”. (Well…I am all for that. God knows I have a list a mile long of things I would like explained.)

I read on, “A creative, artistic year, filled with pleasure, enlightenment, and beauty. Music, dance, art galleries, and museums thrive. 2013 promises to bring a slower paced, quiet, behind-thescenes lifestyle. (I swear this snake is sleeping with my therapist!)

I continue, “Beware the green eyes of jealousy in 2013! Carnal passions and deliciously scandalous romances abound.” “WOW! I am getting to appreciate this Westminster Dog Show---Valentine’s Day-- Chinese New Year---weekend with BM more and more,” I smugly say to myself, while handing the cab driver his fee and tip in front of the Paramount Hotel.

Upon entering the lobby of the Paramount (a small boutique hotel, located in the heart of Times Square) I am impressed by the fresh, chic appeal---lots of marble, low-long leather seats, covered with large pillows, and surrounded by numerous architectural elements. I approach one of three registrations desks. I’m greeted by a young, good-looking, flamboyant gentleman, of Latino decent, dressed entirely in black, with an ever-so-slight lisp. “Hellllloooo…

“Your lobby looks beautiful,” I say in an attempt to ward off an uncomfortable situation. “It does look beauuuutiful---We just opened it an hour before jou arrived,” he shares. “OK, are you serious? So, you are telling me that one hour ago before my arrival this new, beautiful, creative, artistic space opened?” “Jeth, we opened it just for your arrrrrival,” Umberto says with glittering brown eyes, while rotating his left-shoulder forward and tilting his chin slightly backward, in an upward fashion. “That’s impressive,” I mumble. “Mr. Faulkner, I have two re-zer-bay-shunz for jou---one for one night and one for three nightth. Ith thith correct?” “Yes, I added an additional night due to the weather and the need to make sure I avoided traveling during the storm. Also, if you would be so kind, please make sure the reservations are combined, so we do not have to check out and check back in tomorrow.” “No problem, Mr. Faulkner.

Will you need one key or two?” “Two please---my partner, Michael Rawlings, will be joining me tomorrow and I would like his name added to the reservation, too.” “I have added Mr. Rawlingth to your re-zer-bay-shun.” I glance down at the electronic sign-in machine.

It reads, “Please read the following on the screen. Check that you agree and then sign your name.” I attempt to sign my name using the electronic signing-tool attached to the screen---nothing appears. “It’s not working,” I respond. “Oooh my! Ummmmmberto campily announces---looking like he has just made his grand stage entrance in La Cage---a hand on one hip, the other waving in the air with a flourish. “Let me theee---We are working through a few technical ithueth. Wait one minute an’ try again.” Nothing – “OK, letth try the ooother screeeeeen.” Ten minutes later, screen number two receives my electronic signature. Umberto hands me two room keys for #1428, along with coupons for two free drinks. “Mr. Faulkner I am thooo tharry jou had to wait.

And, I just loooohff jour attitude and eef jou need anythin’ while jou are here, Ummmmberto ith jour man,” Umberto gushes, shoulders back, chin tilted and two hands on his hips, as I depart. “You are welcome,” I respond, turn and proceed to room #1428.

I organize the space as best I can, knowing things will drastically change once BM arrives. DROID signals a new text message as arrived, “Change of plans---I am taking the late train from DC--will be arriving at the hotel around 2:30 AM, Love BM.” “Wonderful! He will be tired, but it will give us extra time together.”

U

sing one of the two “free drink” coupons compliments of Umberto, I proceed to the lobby bar / restaurant for a glass of wine and mental relaxation. Red dots appear above the elevator door signaling my transportation to the bar is currently on lobby level, headed upwards to the fourteenth floor. I take the opportunity to evaluate my physical appearance in the floor-to- ceiling mirrored- wall directly opposite the elevator doors. “Not bad---need to continue running, lose more weight, and definitely choose ensembles in grey and black tones while in the city,” I impart to the mirrored wall.

86 Dog News

After this critical self-evaluation, the elevator arrives and eventually deposits me at the lobby level. The bar lay ahead. I enter. Two individuals are seated at the bar. I choose the first stool at the bar, order a glass of wine, and listen to the gentleman and the bartender discuss the pending blizzard and how the gentleman’s flights have been canceled, stranding him for at least two additional days in the city. Offering little to the conversation, I maintain a solid mental conversation with my glass of Rioja, finish, return to #1428 and wait for BM’s arrival, sequestering myself along with XO, Jeffery Deaver’s latest bestselling thriller.

“If they only knew,” I chuckle, lying in bed mid-day, in Midtown, Manhattan--- reading a novel. I close the book, taking note of a review on the back cover, “Layers of deception, betrayal, and triple crosses…..

Fans will wait with bated breath.” – Kirkus Reviews. “Not unlike some dog shows I attend,” I snicker. I take comfort in a quick trip to the bathroom, return to XO. After several hours of reading, sleep takes hold.

At exactly 3:10 AM, BM comes bouncing into the room. “I am here – long trip, don’t ask questions – I am happy to be here at last. Goodnight!”

I rise early – read another two chapters in XO and proceed to a local deli for coffee and pastries. BM remains in bed sleeping.

Sleet and snow are falling at a steady rate. Bundled up in black from head to toe, the young doorman holds the door open, welcoming me into the wet, cold mess. I turn right, walk one block, turn right, walk one-half of a block and enter the deli. Several people wait in line for their morning caffeine fix. I check DROID’s text messages while waiting.

“Hi Honey---It looks like I will be able to get out on Saturday--- GS has been rerouted and she will be arriving later. Oh, we have canceled our reservations and I have booked us a room at the Paramount. This way we will be able to spend some time together…..XO, ML.” “How funny, XO,” I think. Happy that ML, our friend and partner in breeding Golden Retrievers, has altered her hotel plans and she and GS will be staying at the same hotel. I quickly tap DROID’S screen, “See u soon---Exciting--Call when you land--- XO, M.” “Good Morning! I would like two large coffees, one black, one with light cream and two croissants to go. Thank you!” The vendor hands me a bag containing two coffees, two croissants and a stack of napkins.

I return to the Paramount Hotel through the wintry mix. The same young man opens the door and welcomes me into warmth. Umberto nods from behind the customer service desk and instead of rushing back to #1428, I sit in my new hotel lobby, drink my coffee, giving BM a bit more time to sleep. The coffee hits the spot and I immediately feel myself coming to life. DROID signals a new text message, “See you soon-will call when I land. XO, ML.” I tap, “ , XO, M,” click send, and then do a DROID/ GOOGLE search for “XO”. I open the Wikipedia link and read, “Hugs and kisses, or XOXO, is a term used for expressing love, affection, or good friendship at the end of a written letter, email, or SMS text message.”

“How appropriate---with Valentine’s Day and all, but how inappropriate, if the recipient takes it the wrong way and stalks your sorry ass,” I muse while continuing to read. “The common custom of placing “Xs” on envelopes, notes, and at the bottom of letters to mean kisses, dates back to the Middle Ages, when a Christian cross was drawn on documents or letters to mean sincerity, faith, and honesty. “Wow! How interesting.

Maybe the American Kennel Club should require all Dog Show Judges to sign their contracts with X’s and O’s.” I ponder. “The early-Christian signer then placed a kiss upon the “cross” as a display of their sworn oath. It was also used in early Christian history as a display of the same.

Since most of the common people could not read or write, they inscribed an “X “on the document, and then kissed that “X” as a show of their sincerity.” “Makes total sense to me---if you truly do not understand CONTINUED ON PAGE 90

the breed or breeds you are approved to judge, just sign an “ X”, give it a kiss, and hope for the best,” I laughingly share with no one. Lastly, Wiki offers, “The ‘O’ is of North American origin, but no one really seems to know how it was started. Perhaps now, people use the ‘O’ (being rounded) as arms encircling another, as in an embrace. “ The coffee leaves me energized, ready to tackle the day. I enter #1428, look at BM asleep in bed, and am reminded of the need to purchase a Valentine’s gift and to locate a Chinese restaurant nearby, for lunch in celebration of Chinese New Year’s Eve---the Year of the Snake.

“Good Morning! Coffee delivery,” I offer. BM slowly rises and quietly sips away. I sit in the small corner chair and read the remaining two chapters of XO. For our Chinese New Year’s Eve lunch, I located a small, family-owned establishment two blocks away in Hell’s Kitchen, using the aid of DROID’s YELP App. It is a very small establishment located, basement level, in a converted brownstone----a party of three is seated at a round table in the corner, as we enter. BM and I take one of the four remaining tables to our left. Symbols of the Chinese New Year hang from a mirror positioned on the far wall, along with decorations from Christmas, Halloween, St. Patrick’s Day, and Valentine’s Days long past. “I guess it easier to leave the decorations up all year,” I say to BM, as he peruses the extensive menu offering traditional Chinese cuisine. We bypass the frog meat, whole fish, and duck feet, settling for dried, smoked tofu, scallion pancakes, soup and hot tea.

“Happy New Year’s Eve!” BM shares with the hostess. “Oh, thank you very much – You know it is the Year of the Snake. Good for food, spirit, and creativity,” responds the hostess. “I wonder if Snakes get along well with Rats?” asks BM. I begin to laugh, replying, “I think Snakes eat Rats.” Actually, DROID is telling me that Rats and Snakes need to work on their differences and then they can learn something from each other. Oh, and Rat to Rat partnerships make for a prosperous, creative, competitive relationship.” Well, that explains our undying love for one another--- LOL!” BM and I were born in the same year, 1960. Both Rats, we have nothing to be ashamed of. In China, the Rat is respected and considered a courageous, enterprising person. It is deemed an honor to be born in the Year of the Rat and it is considered a privilege to be associated with a Rat. Rats know exactly where to find solutions and can take care of themselves and others without problems. They use their instinctive sense of observation to help others in times of need and are among the most fit of all the Animal Signs to survive almost any situation. I am able to recall this wealth of knowledge, not only due to my abilities as a Rat, but because of the countless hours talking with Gordon (Asia Café) with my elbows resting on the Chinese-Zodiac–placematscovered table.

BM and I complete our Chinese New Year’s Eve ---Year of the Snake---lunch. I sign the credit card receipt not only with my

name, but add two X’s and two O’s for fun. We return to the Paramount for a rest before an evening in Central Park with a friend. #1428 has been cleaned and is fresh for our relaxation. BM has little trouble falling asleep. I toss and turn resenting finishing XO. I finally doze off.

Two hours into our afternoon nap, the door to #1428 swings open and a strange man appears. “What the hell?” I exclaim. “You need to get out of our room!” BM orders, in his best former-JAG-officer tone. “I am sorry! I am sorry! We did not know. We needed to know if you had checked out.” I shut the door and phone the front desk. “Yes, this is Michael Faulkner, room #1428. If you will check my reservations, you will see that we do not check out until Monday morning. I resent having a stranger walk into our room, while we are sleeping, without even a knock on the door. There were two original reservations, one for one night and the second reservation for three nights. Umberto checked me in and promised there would be no issues.” “We are very sorry sir!

Have a nice stay.” The phone goes silent. “With any luck---and the enterprising nature of a Rat---I can parlay this most recent unfortunate situation into two more free drink coupons.”

Umberto apologizes profusely with the aid of grand hand gestures, flourishes, and dramatic eye and head movements. I depart the hotel service desk feeling compensated with two additional drink coupons in hand and a sincere apology delivered.

T

he snow has picked up full steam. We witness a blustering, winter wonderland from the windows of #1428. BM and I take turns showering in preparation for our evening in Central Park. We both dress in multiple layers. And, like the two adventurous Rats we are, we opt to walk the seven tenths of a mile in the cold, blowing snow. BM forces me to stop multiple times for DROID photo-shoots along the way. We arrive at Columbia Circle, waiting for the lights to change. A Valentine’s Day window-display catches my attention. Multiple hearts in various sizes and shades of red and pink are suspended amongst metallic X’s and O’s. Outside, underneath the window-display, resting on the external window ledge, are two snowmen---approximately two feet tall. “How special is that! Someone took the time to build two little snowmen,” I say to BM as he crosses the intersection. He takes no notice and continues. I, on the other hand, give the snowmen a closer, more creative inspection--- taking note of their anatomically correct, but frozen appendages protruding from the ice-cold, round, lower portions of their bodies. I catch up with BM and walk to our friend’s home. Along the way, numerous dog lovers are playing with their beloved pets in snow-covered Central Park.

BM takes great pride in naming the various breeds of purebred dogs playing in the park. A true sign of our lasting relationship, our many Valentine’s Days in New York City, and the profound effect I have had on his life.

The snowy, blustering evening with our friend proves to be most enjoyable and the perfect start of our weekend. Saturday, I am occupied with a Take the Lead Board of Directors’ meeting, followed by the two of us attending the Dogs in Review Awards Dinner. After which, we meet ML and GS at the hotel for late night drinks.

Sunday, the four of us meet local friends for brunch, then attend the theater, and conclude with attending the Dog Writers Association Awards Banquet. After the banquet and back at the Paramount, ML, GS and several other dog friends use every weapon in their arsenal to convince the two us to extend our stay and attend the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show.

“You must understand---we would love to stay. However, BM has to be back in Washington and I have meetings back home, as well as two major grant funding opportunities I must complete. There is absolutely no way we can make it happen this year,” I declare, wishing there actually were an alternative, taking some relief in all the major logistical challenges the Westminster Kennel Club faces with the new location, transportation, etc., knowing if there were a year I could not attend, this is probably the one, while the show committee works out all the kinks.

Monday morning, I rise at five in the morning, pack my luggage, and hail a cab to the airport. BM’s train from Penn Station does not depart until eleven-thirty AM, affording several extra hours of much needed sleep. Not able to acquire a direct flight to Richmond, I am forced to fly through Charlotte, NC. My flight is over an hour late departing from LaGuardia. Once we land in Charlotte, we are informed of major weather-related issues, delaying my arrival time in Richmond by over five hours.

I stay connected to ML via DROID text messages. ML writes, “The new show venue is very nice. Lots of room.” Hell, at this point, I realize that I should have at least stayed an additional day. “Take care--- will talk soon – XO,” I respond. “Back atchcha--- XO, ML”.

I drive straight to the office from the airport, arriving seven hours later than expected. Everyone has gone home. A handwritten note hangs from my desk computer monitor. “Michael – please contact Mr.G @ Asia Café, XO – BF” Starving, I phone Asia Café before leaving the office. “Asia Café – Your order please,” Mr.G says. “MR.G! Hello! It’s Michael. I just returned from NYC. I would like to place a to-go order and I understand you need to speak to me.” “OK, what you order, first?” “I would like vegetable soup and Hunan Chicken, extra spicy,” I add. “Ten minute.

You come. We talk.” MR.G hangs up.

MR.G’s sister-in-law sits behind the counter as I enter. “MR.G!” She bellows from her stool, along with several words in Mandarin that I cannot understand. MR.G appears tired and somber. “Sit Michael. I talk with you. I need your help. I spend much time in Hong Kong lately and I have pain down here.”

Gordon lowers his left hand pressing his left side near his groin.

I nod my head. He then types a search into his Samsung hand held device. “OK---look here. I do not know how to say in English.” I read Samsung’s screen---PROSTATE. “Oh, I see Gordon.” He continues, “Can you give me some help? I am in pain. I cannot sleep and if I am not healthy, I will have to go back to Hong Kong in shame of my family.”

I resist an OBE (Out of Body experience) “Why me? Why me? Of all the people in the world this poor man rests his future in my knowledge, or lack thereof, of his assumed PROSTATE issues,” I mentally query. (And, I could have stayed at Westminster!)

Not knowing exactly what to say, I respond, “Oh, MR. G--- Happy Chinese New Year.” MR.G seems to perk up a little. “Thank you – it is the Year of the Snake. You know, I am a Snake. What are you?” MR.G asks. I look at the placemat under my elbow, point my finger, and say, “Rat”. MR. G looks and nods as if he already knew this. “Look Mr. G, you need to go to the doctor and get some tests completed. I will help

you tomorrow with scheduling your tests. In the meantime, I suggest you think like a Snake---Approach your health concerns in a slow and methodical way. Things will definitely be better if you focus forward and be positive. Oh, and Mr.G, drink basil seeds soaked in water every day---I hear it is good for your prostate.” I leave MR. G’s restaurant along with Murphy French, whom I have retrieved from Auntie B’s, feeling somewhat better, confident that Mr. G will be accessing competent medical treatment shortly.

I arrive home just in time for the start of the first Westminster Kennel Club Group Competition. I quickly change into my “fat-man clothes, pour myself a glass of wine, and eat the Chinese take-out directly from the to-go containers. From the television, I hear MJL announce, “May we have the Hound Group into the ring…..” To this day my heart still skips a beat or two as each breed winner enters the ring.

I attempt to identify the various dogs, owners, and handlers; happy to see several dogs that I have personally admired---both in and out of the ring---have won their respective breeds.

DROID signals a new text message, “Miss you--- all is well--- XO, ML” “Home safe – watching the show – eating Chinese. LOL! XO, M,” I reply. Eagerly, I watch all four groups and retire to bed.

Tuesday is a crazy day at the office. I keep the Westminster livefeed-screen open all day (minimized of course) for my viewing pleasure. Having live access is the next best thing to being there. And, having access prior to the evening’s group judging only added energy to my already established suspense. True to form---and not unlike the Kirkus Review of Jeffery Deaver’s novel, XO, I think, “Fans will wait with bated breath.”

Tuesday’s Group finals and Best in Show judging are viewed at a friend’s home along with numerous other couples wanting the ringside scoop from none other than… ME. Right down to the end, there are the projected winners, the upsets, the drama, the smiles, the tears, and the crowning of yet another Westminster Kennel Club Best in Show Winner – BANANA JOE!

L

ater in the week, I phone my good friend Dr. S. After several minutes of pleasantries, I ask, “Did you go to the shows on Tuesday? I want your opinion of a few dogs.”

“Nope,” comes the response. “I went on Monday.” Our conversation proceeds for an extended period of time, and I tender the key question, “So, how was the new venue? What is your take? Was it crazy?” “It was wonderful!” he replies immediately, “Lots of space for the dogs and the exhibitors.”

The following day, I phone another dear friend---MBO---and she confirms DR.S’s previously stated observations. “The show was wonderful!” I am thrilled to know the Westminster Kennel Club, established in 1876 (the second longest running continuous sporting event in the United States) rose to the challenge and pulled off yet another successful tradition amidst change and skepticism. I activate DROID and search, “Chinese New Year – 1876” OMG! The Westminster Kennel Club is a Rat, just like me--- Rats know exactly where to find solutions and can take care of themselves and others without problems. They use their instinctive sense of observation to help others in times of need and are among the most fit of all the Animal Signs to survive most any situation.

In reflection of my Westminster Kennel Club, New York City, Chinese New Year, Valentine’s Day Celebration, I say, Congratulations to all winners and to the members of the Westminster Kennel Club. XXOO, Michael.

THE Westminster TIMES

Dear Westminster Exhibitors, Judges and Friends:

O

n behalf of the members of the Westminster Kennel Club, we want to thank everyone who attended and experienced the 137th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show at the Piers and at Madison Square Garden last month.

We are so proud of our event and so happy for the opportunity to have shared it with you. Many people worked very hard to bring you a show that lived up to the legacy of this great dog show.

Whether you were an exhibitor, a spectator, or a special friend attending in person; or watching on live television, via live streaming video, connecting with us on our App, getting results on the website, or participating as a Facebook friend, we appreciate your interest and your support of this great celebration of the dogs in our lives.

Thank you. We hope that you, as we, are counting the days until Westminster 138.

Sincerely,

Seรกn W. McCarthy President

Thomas H. Bradley, 3d.

Show Chairman

hundreds of hours that went into the planning of the venue. One had to witness the process to realize just how well it worked.

Allowing class dogs brought it back to being a real dog show.

Growing up in the sport the excitement of the Garden was always the great expectations of seeing the great new class dogs that would become the future of the sport. People have said for years that the Garden was never the same without the class dogs. So now their wishes have come true. The Piers allowed for a much larger limit of 3,200. It was expected that by allowing class animals a much larger entry would be expected. The entry this year only brought about 2,700 with only about 375 class entries or about 14% of the total entry. Bringing a class dog to New York is very costly and requires a great deal of dedication if one did not have hopes of a major victory.

To me the most exciting factor of the new Westminster was seeing the class Bred by Exhibitor dog in Old English Sheepdogs of Colton and Heather Johnson go Reserve Best in Show. He was the only class male entered and won the breed over 19 specials. I am sure the entire Johnson family was ecstatic over winning the breed.

But then to win the group and Reserve Best at Westminster is what most breeders only dream about. In 2006 we saw Colton Johnson win the group with the family bred OES, Ch. Bugaboos Big Resolution. It was just three months ago we saw his wife, Heather, win the Herding group at Eukanuba with a homebred Bouvier. In 2006 Douglas and Michaelanne Johnson were named AKC Breeder of the Year and also won the Herding Group with the Old English, Ch. Bugaboo’s Big Resolution.

The Johnson family is truly an inspiration to the sport. Nearly all the top winning dogs today have tremendous ad campaigns, fly all over the country and have tremendous financial backing. The Johnson’s breed top quality Old English and Bouviers and do it the old fashioned way. They drive to most shows, do not have excessive ad campaigns and show their own homebreds. Hopefully more breeders will realize they can do top winning if they have the faith to stick with it. The entire sport has to thank the Johnson family for the example they have set. They must have had tremendous faith to bring this young class dog to a show that requires so much energy and expense. I only hope the offspring of Colton and Heather will be the third generation of great breeders.

W

e all complain every year about what a grueling week Westminster is. It often entails hardships with flight delays, cancellations and the possibility of maybe not getting home for days. This year, again, the snow prevented some people from getting there altogether and others arriving several days late. Despite high hotel costs combined with the good possibility of becoming ill, most died in the wool fanciers return year after year. There is a magic about the whole week and joining in the endurance adventure.

I was very much relieved to settle into my rather confined room around noon on Thursday. Being assured that the following morning we would be moved to a larger room by Carl, the bellman, was a blessing. Since I live less than fifty miles from the city shopping and the attractions are not a priority for me. It is all about the dogs

98 Dog News

and seeing friends I rarely get to see. Several friends had been traveling the entire day, so Thursday evening we decided to dine right at Niles, the restaurant inside the Affinia, which is actually quite good.

Friday starts the mad horse race with specialties out in Jersey. Progressive Toy show and other specialties in the Pennsylvania Friday became a winter wonderland when the snow started to fall. Everyone had great concern if they would be able to make their evening plans. Toni and Martin Sosnoff did some very quick thinking and organized two huge busses to transport their guests from the hotels to their lovely home in the Dakota. This alleviated the fear of not being able to get a cab or not being able to arrange for last minute car service.

Because of the snow cars were moving slower, but there was less traffic on the streets so actually it did not take as long to travel the forty blocks as usual. After the lovely Sosnoff party, Patricia Shaw hosted a wonderful dinner party at Patsy’s for some Frenchie fanciers from far away places. During dinner I mentioned I had judged a wonderful Frenchie bitch just days before in Bangkok. Immediately several guests pulled out their phones to show me pictures of the bitch and once again it makes us realize what a close world the sport is. The following morning I ran into Ping Ping Panda at the Frenchie Specialty.

S

aturday a lovely group of fanciers gathered in the back room of Swifty’s for a beautiful brunch.

Several foreign friends could not make it due to arrival delays, which made for an even more intimate gathering. Swifty’s brunch is always a joy to be surrounded by beautiful dog paintings, good cuisine and wonderful patrons of the sport.

Due to the changing economic times very few large parties are still given over the Westminster weekend. The Kennel Review Awards dinner is the largest gathering of the weekend.

I was very happy that I was fortunate to be able to be in attendance and sitting next to Walter Goodman to witness him being indoctrinated into the Hall of Fame. I, like several others, had some tears in my eyes during this ceremony. The video brought back so many of the great memories of Walter and his contributions to the sport. I have known Walter for over fifty years and have seen how he so much enriched the sport. Very few people become a living legend like Walter has become.

There were so many other great people and dogs honored that evening, but it would take several articles to write about them.

My greatest joy in life is judging good dogs, but the traveling is not always easy. The weekend before the Garden I spent 42 hours flying time back and forth from Bangkok, plus layover time. So on Sunday it was a real treat to just walk over one block to do Min Pin and Pap specials. Not having to judge until 10 o’clock made for extra sleep and seeing some other breeds being judged.

At the Papillon Specialty my winners dog, Magic Sunrise Great Gentleman, was a Phalene. This dog was here all the

way from Latvia. He was representing the European Qualifier 3 in the World Challenge 2011. Over that weekend he had captured BOB one day under John Reeve-Newson. In FCI countries Phalenes and Papillon are shown as two separate breeds. It is difficult for the Phalenes to compete here. This dog has two strikes against him. One being a Phalene and he carries much more length of coat than our dogs. I spoke with the owner a few days later in Florida and he said in Europe they want much more length of quality hair. I suspected a Pap bitch puppy might be present that three weeks earlier I carried from the puppy class to BOB over several top specials. I thought she might have a chance of going to the top again since I predicted a big future for her. Much to my surprise a young lady and a red and white bitch entered the Open class. I later found out this bitch was here from Germany. She became WB, challenged by the super pup and also was BOS. The European dogs added to the joy of judging. The quality of specials was very challenging to judge.

After the 3 AOM’s, there still were some very high quality Paps that went without a ribbon. The new charge of Brian Livingston, Ch Involo The King of Pop, was BOB. We had just seen his breeder, Gia Garof, also win the Bred By group with him at Eukanuba. Peter Green also awarded him BOB at Westminster.

Following the Pap judging I had a short chance to see some of the Frenchie Specials class. I did not envy Robin Stansell having to whittle this class down. There were so many excellent examples that would not get even an AOM ribbon. This breed is in great shape. Not only here in the States, but in nearly every country one goes to. The previous two weekends I had seen top ones in Thailand and Costa Rica.

After my short break Min Pins were my assignment. The entry was not huge, but the quality was good. The top winner, Red Glare, took the day off to be in rested shape for Westminster. The BIS homebred bitch of Kim Calvacca, Howard Schwell and Robin Greenslade captured BOB. Robin also had the joy of seeing her homebred Giant Schnauzer winning BOB at Westminster two days later. Joan Huber had a young Min Pin male that shows great promise. When I asked where he came from Joan replied, “It is fifty years of her breeding efforts.” That made me ask how long has she been breeding Mini Schnauzers. The answer was 64 years. Hopefully in the near future we will see AKC honor Joan as a breeder. There are not many breeders still breeding that started before I was born.

Sunday, Victor Malzoni, Claire Wisch and Amy and Phil Booth hosted a lovely cocktail party in celebration of “Oakley” winning Top Dog of the year. It was fun seeing the video on a large screen of all the victory photos of “Oakley” and Phil this past year. Besides Cairns the other breed that Victor has great passion for is the German Wires.

As the “Oakley” reception was winding down many

guests moved across the hall to where the Santa Barbara/Breeder’s Showcase party was starting. Thanks to the catering abilities of the famous Carmine’s the Italian buffet was a huge hit. Jean Austin, Abbe Shaw, Terry Chacon, Connie Clark, Melanie Steele, Robert Black and many more members of Santa Barbara Kennel Club worked so hard to entertain so many guests. John Reeve-Newson and Frank DeAmaral quickly supplied everyone with drinks. This reception gave the likes of Karen Fitzpatrick and others a relaxing time to reflect on their victories at last year’s Breeder’s Showcase.

Monday morning started this year a bit earlier than past years.

Instead of just walking across the street to the Garden the dogs and people had to venture across town and up about 20 blocks to the Piers.

Not knowing how long it would entail most people allowed for extra time.

Luckily the weather was on the side of the traffic flow and everything moved faster than had been expected. When I ventured over a bus was ready to depart and I was at the Piers in a very short period of time.

O

nce inside the Piers everyone quickly got to move quite easily from one pier to the other. People with dogs got priority for use of the large freight elevators.

The Westminster Committee has to be thanked for their quick thinking about releasing the dogs from the Pier earlier than announced.

This gave people more time to move to the Garden for evening judging.

Monday evening the gracious Dave Berrey entertained a lot of Frenchie fanciers in one of the new Skyboxes, which are now at mid level. This makes for viewing the groups so much more pleasurable than the old boxes so high up. Dave was still on a high from winning the Frenchie show on Sunday. All the Frenchie people were celebrating also the win of Alex Geremia’s new dog on Saturday and the win of Nancy Shaw on “Griffin” at the Garden. It is a credit to the Frenchie fanciers that all the main competitors can share in the joy of each other’s wins. Although not a breed winner, Patricia Shaw and Jodi Longmire were included in the festivities over their homebred “Freda” going BOS all three days.

Luc Boileau officiated over the first group to be judged. Luc stepping into the big ring must have been thinking back to 1990 when he went BIS with the Peke, Ch Wendessa Crown Prince. Luc has been respected as a great dog man since before he had moved to the States from Canada to team up with Ed Jenner at Knolland Farm. Like one of his past mentors, Nigel Aubrey-Jones, he has always added great color to the sport.

In 2008 we watched Luc judge the Hound Group at Eukanuba. On this evening his eventual winner was the American Foxhound, Ch. Kiarry’s Pandora’s Box, known as “Jewel” to her huge fan club. She was bred by Harry and Lisa Miller. Lisa co-owns her with Ellen Charles. This young bitch already has a record close to fifty BIS and was the number one Hound in the country this past year. In this fast paced sport we see Harry Miller officiating the mechanics of major show weekends. Eukanuba and now Westminster could not run as smoothly without “Big Harry” and his great team. We forget that “Big Harry” is half of the “Kiarry” Foxhound empire. Big Harry gives so much to the sport it is nice to see him enjoy watching Lisa and his dogs reaping great rewards.

Standing behind the Foxhound was the Bryan Martin handled Basset, Ch. Topsfield-Sanchu Eenie Meenie Miney Moe. His breeders, Claire Steidel and Claudia Orlandi, have established unparalleled records in CONTINUED ON PAGE 102

the breed. In 2009 Claudia was the AKC Breeder of the Year at Eukanuba. Third was the Janice Hayes handled PVGV, Ch Soletrader Maggie May. This kennel has sent other top winners to the States. In their home country, England, they won Top Dog of the Year in all of Britain. Fourth went to the Otterhound, Ch. Aberdeens Under The Influence, who is bred and owned by the McIlwaine family. Young Jason McIllwaine is part of the Carlos Puig handling team.

Denis McCoy presided over the Toy Group. In 1985 or 28 years ago, Dennis handled the Toy Poodle, Ch. Fairview’s No Nonsense, to the Toy Group victor in the big ring for owner Joan Hartstock. In 1991 Dennis piloted the Harstock owned Standard Poodle, Ch. Whisperwind On A Carousel, to BIS. In a fiveyear period from 1996 thru 2000, Dennis won the Non-Sporting group with dogs owned by Mrs. Alan Robson. I cannot imagine any other handler ever enjoying that record. As usual the Toy group was extremely strong. Between three of the placing dogs the Aff, Min Pin and Pug, these dogs accounted for 77 bests and 270 group Firsts. In the end the Affie “Joey” got the nod.

This was its first group win at the Garden, but many more will likely come in the future. Mieke Cooymans, his breeder, co-owns him with Tina Truesdale, who in 2002 owned “Cosmo”, the only other Aff to win a Garden Group. Mieke came to the Garden this year to take “Joey” back to Europe after a whirlwind campaign.

His tremendous career was accomplished on both sides of the Big Pond. Armando Angelbello, who co-owned the Min Pin, Ch Marlex Classic Red Glare, with Leah Monte, stood behind “Joey”.

This Min Pin bitch already has added much to her record so far this year. Sandra MIddlebrooks and David Fitzpatrick went third with Ch Yakee Easily Persuaded. It was just last year we saw this team wining BIS with “Malachy”, who also won the group in 2011. David has won 6 Toy groups at Westminster. This new Peke was bred by Bert Eason, who bred the Toy group winners in 2003, 2004 and 2005. The previous Yakee two big winners accounted for around 250 BIS wins. Fourth went to the Pug, Ch Hill Country’s Tag I’m It. Barry Clothier and Carolyn Koch acquired this young dog from Kristy and Kevin Ratliff in mid year and have already built a big record on him. After these four placements there were still so many super Toys that did not get a ribbon. Several of them are as good examples of their breed that we have seen in recent times.

Florence Males then took charge of the Non-Sporting group.

Ran into Florence earlier and she could not kiss me since her lipstick was set for the evening. The Bichon, Ch. Vogelflights Honor To Pillowtalk, owned and bred by the Vogels and the Kornfelds and is also owned by M & P Abbott and Ellen Charles.

Lisa Bettis handles this smashing dog, which became the first Bichon to win a Group at the Garden since “JR” in 2001. This was a very historical win, since in less than a two-hour time span two dogs owned by Ellen Charles became group winners.

First the American Foxhound and shortly after, the Bichon. It was just two years ago Ellen saw her Beardie, “Mr Baggins” win the Herding Group. But it was 40 years ago, in 1973, Ellen watched her mother, Mrs. Augustus Riggs, become only the fourth woman to judge Best at Westminster. In the last twenty years women have judged Best as often as men. Second went to 102 Dog News

the White Standard bitch, Ch. Brighton Lakeridge Encore.

“Ally,” bred by L’Dyne Brennan and Debra Ferguson Jones, has set records for her owners, Toni and Martin Sosnoff, even before she was a Champion. In 2010 at Poodle Club of America, Tim Brazier won the show with “Ally”. This was only the second time in history that a class exhibit went all the way to BOB. The competition in Standards was extremely strong. Also competing was “London,” who had just won the World Challenge at Eukanuba and Del Zarzoso Salvame From Afterglow, who had just won the group a Eukanuba from the classes. Now handled by Amy Rutherford, he was only one of two class males entered.

There were several other super quality Standards competing at the breed level. Both “Ally” and “London” are just a few Bests away from joining the 100 club. Third went to the Frenchie, Ch Bandog Bayou’s The Warrior, bred by Vickie Lang and Luis and Patti Sosa. Larry Cornelius is his handler and his owner, and he and owner Nancy Shaw were extra excited since this was the end of his campaign.

“Griffin” won an extremely competitive breed win and had won the breed all four days at the 2011 Eukanuba weekend. “Griffin” will turn four shortly, but all agree he has just come into his prime. Fourth went to Tibetan Spaniel, Ch. Kan Sing’s Tengin. He was co-bred by his owner Martha Feltenstein and his handler, Diego Garcia.

C

harles Trotter presided over the Herding group, which was the last group of the evening. No one watching realized we were about to see history being made shortly. When

Chuck pointed to the Old English, it was the first any of us alive today saw a class animal win a group at Westminster. Now Chuck can become part of Westminster history alongside his wife, Pat, who has the record of winning ten Hound groups at Westminster. Second went to the Puli, Ch. Cordmaker Rumpus Bumpus. He was handled by his owner, Jackie Beaudoin. The wonderful other half of Jackie, Franco Licciardi, also co-owns him along with the breeder, Sue Huebner, who has bred top-winning Pulik all over the world for so long. This wonderful Puli retired at the Garden to let his litter sister take the spotlight. Mike Pitts already has made some top wins with her and she will continue to set records like she already has done in Australia. Third was the record setting Beauceron, Ch Beowolf Rime Des Monts Du Lac. This dog is handled by the Scotts for Paul and Joanne Prager and was bred by Eric Vavasson. Tara Schultz piloted the top winning Canaan in history to the fourth spot. Ch. Pleasant Hill Magnum of Samara has won over 100 group placements, which is no easy feat for this breed. His owners, Pamela Rosman and Dr. Richard Vulliet, have made his breeder, D. Dodson, very proud. It was not until 1983 that the Herding dogs were removed from the Working group. There are presently twenty-six Herding breeds and half of them have fairly recently been recognized.

is also one of its senior breeders, although sadly she has announced that she has bred her last litter. Her Majesty has made a major contribution to the exhibition and has generously loaned a collection of original photographs, paintings and drawings featuring her Corgis throughout the years – and of course not forgetting a few Dorgis!

A particular intimate picture by Edmund Irvine Halliday shows the Queen, Prince Philip and Prince Charles and Princess Anne as young children, together with two Corgis, grouped around the fireside at Clarence House.

An interesting comparison for their styles and to show how in their own unique way artists have portrayed the Queen’s favourite Corgis and Dorgis are Da-

vinia Owen’s group portrait of 1987 and Cindy Lass’ which was commissioned by the Queen’s Lady in Waiting in time for the Queen’s 80th birthday.

Also on view, but not loaned from the Royal Collection, is Lucy Dawson’s portrait of Dookie (Rozavel Golden Eagle), the first of a long line of Royal Corgis. He was given to the Queen by her father in 1933 and chosen because he had a slightly longer tail than his litter mates. This appealed to the young Princess Elizabeth as she wanted him to have something to wag so that she would know if he was pleased or not.

The Queen is patron of the Kennel Club and the Kennel Club’s own painting of Her Majesty in the informal setting of Frogmore Park with the Black Labrador, Field Trial Champion Sherry of Biteabout, the yellow Labrador Sandringham Harvey, the Corgi Windsor Brush and Tinker the Dorgi is also on display. It was the Royal Household that gave the name Dorgi to the Corgi/Dachshund crosses.

we were struck by the wonder of it! There were dog shows in Cuba, and that must mean there were people like us, for whom speaking about out our dogs is done with a special fondness; where all differences can be resolved when admiring a beautiful dog go around the ring.

Like many relationships, a picture - that picture led us to a Google search for “dog shows” and “Cuba,” where we discovered Miguel Calvo Cartaya’s name and the FCC – the Federation Cinologica de Cuba - and an email address for Miguel. And that email, answered

by Miguel’s wife, Loretta Rivero Sanchez, led us to dinner with Miguel and Loretta in Havana shortly after we started our tour of Cuba in early February 2013.

With the help of our tour guide, we arranged to meet Loretta and Miguel in the Hotel Nacional lobby at 7:00 pm. We weren’t exactly sure who we were looking for, having only seen pictures on web sites. When we arrived in the lobby, busy with tours gathering to go to dinner, people arriving for the Buena Vista Social Clublike musical program and general lobby traffic, we worried about how to make sure they recognized us. Not to worry. We had carried several dog show magazines with us to Cuba to give to Miguel and Loretta, so we pulled out a DOG NEWS and held it in front of us. It worked! Loretta noticed the dog photo immediately when she came into the lobby. “Hello,” she said, “we

are the other dog people!” And we were off for dinner and conversation.

You know what happens when dog people get together – and the language differences didn’t get in the way at all.

Loretta speaks wonderful English, and while Miguel claims his English is limited, there were few times in the conversations when Loretta had to help us out. Which is good, because we have no Spanish language skills. But everyone at the table spoke “dog” and “dog show” perfectly.

During our drive to the restaurant, Loretta talked about their dogs. Miguel and Loretta breed and show Wire Dachshunds, Rottweilers, and Havanese. Loretta has recently imported a new dachshund puppy from Spain, and there was a brand new litter of Rottweilers at home. “Three days old and beautiful” is how she described them. Wouldn’t all of us say the same about every litter we have? Loretta also has two litters of Havanese that are getting ready to go to their new homes. She is currently campaigning Ch. Abril Ferher’z, a Havanese, who is the top dog in Cuba and has shown very well internationally – a second best in show and a third best in show at a recent FCI show in Venezuela. Loretta and Miguel have been breeding champion Rottweilers under the Vom Forbidden Place kennel designation for a number of years.

Over dinner, Loretta and Miguel talked about how dog shows work in Cuba. There are four dog shows each year with opportunities to earn points towards a Cuban championship, two of which also award Pan-American championships, and two that award international championships.

The next shows would be held at the end of February and in April, before the summer heat. The average dog show in Cuba in the last few years has had around 250 – 300 entries. At each dog show, there will be a small number of foreign entries, generally from other Caribbean islands, Mexico, Venezuela, or Canada. Because of the US embargo on Cuba, US dogs are not permitted to travel to Cuba for exhibition.

We asked about how a dog show site is selected, and what permits are required. When we explain the difficulties in obtaining a good show site in the US, Loretta laughed. While “it’s complicated” was a regular way of explaining many things in Cuba, the dog show site selection seems not to be complicated.

Miguel told us the FCC committee determined which park would work to provide shade and good flat ground, and then the club officers go to the government official in charge of the park with the Club’s list of required dates.

The official checks a calendar and signs off on the dates. What about rental rates for the park? “None,” Loretta told us. She explained CONTINUED ON PAGE 108

that the parks belong to all the people, and there are no charges. We asked about government support from the FCC – none, is the answer. No different here than the US. Miguel explained that there are 14 member clubs in the FCC. All are breed based clubs: Doberman, Boxer, Dachshund, Havanese, Pastoral or herding breeds, Afghan, Cocker Spaniel, Hound (including Greyhounds, Italian Greyhounds and other similar bodied breeds), Chihuahua, Poodle, Dalmatian, Xolo-type or hairless breeds, Great Dane, and Siberian Husky clubs. At shows, the Dalmatians, Siberians and Havanese will be the largest entries, with perhaps 30 dogs entered for each. There will usually be 25 to 30 different breeds represented at the show. Dog shows are 4-day affairs. All of the dog shows in Cuba are held in Havana, since most of the dog club members are in that area. Tents and shade are necessities. There should be a cafeteria nearby for food for exhibitors. We asked about terriers being shown since we have bull terriers. Loretta told us there are few terriers in Cuba, and most are Am Staffs. She asked about our Brussels Griffons, not having seen one in person in Cuba and we shared pictures. When we talked about breed clubs and how they operate, we found that as in the US, there are always personalities involved and opinions about which dogs should be used in breeding.

Entry fees for Cuban dogs are CUC$10, and for international dogs entering the Cuban shows, CUC$80 - 100.

About CUC$1 of those fees go to the FCI for recording fees.

We had seen pictures of some of the Cuban dog shows on-line in our search to find dog people before our trip.

There were some beautiful Afghans and Goldens. Loretta talked about the number of dogs imported into Cuba

from Europe – mostly Spain – and from other parts of the Caribbean, Mexico and South America. What about handlers? Loretta has been mentoring a young man she said has a real talent in handling, and she has referred a number of her grooming clients to him. As a result, he had several clients now for each of the dog shows.

While handlers are not a prominent feature in Cuban dog shows, the talented people are finding clients.

In our travels around Cuba in the next two weeks, we would see many pure-bred dogs. Dachshunds and Havanese were walked on leashes around Havana; Doberman Pinchers and Siberian Huskies were spotted in rooftop kennels when we visited artists in the back bay of Havana. In Baracoa, we saw several Dobies, German Shepherds and Rottweilers on farms we visited. There were lots of mixed breed street dogs, wandering freely around, but often we dogs we recognized from show rings – except with long tails and undocked ears.

Loretta and Miguel travel about once a year to other places in Latin America for FCI dog shows, mostly to Venezuela and Mexico. How difficult is travel for a Cuban trying to leave the country with a dog? Again, Loretta laughed. Miguel smiled. First, they said, you have to get the permits to leave Cuba. That earned the “it’s complicated” remark. It may be time consuming. While there has been publicity lately that Cuban regulations are changing and making it easier for Cubans to visit other countries, there is still the permit process to complete and that takes time. Then there is the expense of travel. They carefully save and plan for each trip abroad, staying with friends they have found through dogs and dog shows.

And that led to questions about Cuba, and opportunities and the economy in Cuba. Miguel was clear: “The best opportunity right now for Cubans is in Cuba,” he said. He talked a brighter future ahead and more opportunities to succeed in the new private businesses.

Loretta agreed, but said that Cubans need to develop more skills in customer service and management. This optimism for Cuba by Cubans is something we heard throughout our trip. In each of the towns we visited, we heard from many people about the difficulties they faced but the opportunities they saw with the changes in the economic system that were being rolled out – opportunities to start your own private business or to farm and sell goods outside of the government markets. Loretta cautioned that the US embargo of Cuba and the Cuban government have made if difficult for Cubans to understand what the rest of the world is really like, and she has concerns that Cubans do not understand how complex and expensive the rest of the world can be. She noted that recently Cubans have been given the opportunity to sell CONTINUED ON PAGE 124

their houses. This has led, in her view, to some people selling their homes with the visions of what the see are small fortunes, not understanding that the several thousands of dollars they have received will not last long. In the Cuba of the past, she said, you might have been able to exist on that money for many years. But now, with the new economy, that will not be enough. For those Cubans yearning to travel internationally, the costs of travel are not well understood.

After dinner, Miguel and Loretta drove us to their home in Santa Fe Playa, one of the western areas of Havana. It is a quite residential area of low-rise cinderblock houses and the smell of the ocean air. They have a 1976 Volkswagen microbus and some of the conversation on the drive was about the car. Car parts are hard to come by in Cuba, especially for older vehicles.

Miguel has a friend in Mexico who helps when they need something. Unfortunately, that means a wait for parts.

Like most Cubans, Miguel is, in addition to other skills, an auto mechanic. Later in our visit in Cuba, we would learn about the difficulties involved in buying a new car in Cuba, where permits and investigations make the process time consuming or impossible, and the permit fees more than the cost of the automobile. Buying and selling of older automobiles and trucks among private citizens is allowed without permits and explanations, so almost all private cars are more than 20 years old.

At their home, we were greeted by barking. Miguel and Loretta have adopted two street dogs that greeted us on the front patio. Inside a gated run on the ground floor,

we got to see Loretta’s Dachshunds and some of the older Havanese puppies. She showed us her Spanish import with great pride – he’s a lovely Wire Dachshund with a good keel in the front and a beautiful expression. Miguel and Loretta own their home, as do almost all Cubans, and have recently purchased the building next door to expand their grooming business. We toured the house, admiring Loretta’s trophies and the beautiful ribbons she has received for Best in Shows and 2nd and 3rd Best in Shows recently with her Havanese. Two hallway walls are covered with ribbons and certificates. Miguel has done most of the carpentry work in the house himself, all the more challenging when he described the issues with finding building products and lighting and the process of designing and building out the kitchen. They have put the kennel on the 3rd floor of the house so that the Rottweilers living in the kennel have access to the cooling breeze from the ocean, which is not far away. We are used to seeing Rotties with docked tails and heavy frames, and Loretta and Miguel’s dogs have long thick tails and more athletic builds – more like safeties than running backs when compared to the dogs we see in the US rings.

The new Rottweiler litter was housed in Loretta and Miguel’s bedroom – we got a glimpse of one of the tiny puppies from Miguel. Loretta brought out her star Havanese – Ch. Abril Ferher’z – beautifully groomed and with a wonderful, full, rich coat. We asked about grooming supplies and how she keeps that coat in such shape in Cuba, and in the heat.

Part of planning for traveling to international dog shows, she tells us, is a shopping list for grooming supplies. When visitors come to Cuban shows, friends always bring along extra grooming supplies.

Loretta brought out the 2 litters of Havanese puppies she has and pointed out the best of the litters.

She has several puppies that will be going to Canada shortly, but lamented that the AKC cannot recognize Cuban registration, and that limits where her dogs can be shown. Our visit was a week before Westminster. Both Loretta and Miguel would love to go to the show and would love to have one of their dogs exhibited there. The very slow Cuban internet connections and no access to US cable TV prevent Cuban dog fanciers from seeing the Westminster broadcast live, but by the next day, someone in Cuban dogdom will have a DVD of the show that will be shared among FCC members.

How did you get into dogs? It’s a question that ties all of us together. Loretta admits her heart can be won with a puppy. She received her first pureCONTINUED ON PAGE 128

bred dog as a gift from her first husband in the 1990’s.

It was a Collie. She showed us pictures of the Collie in the show ring, Loretta handling. She met Miguel through a Rottweiler puppy.

Talking about her Collie led Loretta to talking a bit about veterinary medicine in Cuba. The Collie was not her first dog, but replaced another dog that had died because she did not know about vaccinations for dogs.

In researching and getting the Collie, Loretta learned about modern veterinary medicine. Unfortunately in an economy where the average family makes about US$35 a month, vaccines – and vets – are not prominent in the city. Another list in her dog show-planning calendar is for veterinary supplies and medications, which she buys when she goes outside of Cuba to a dog show. Veterinary medicines are hard to come by in Cuba, and when the medications are available, the dosages available are not correct for dogs, but rather for horses and pigs.

When considering the financial sacrifices involved for the average family to support a show dog in the U.S., consider the Cubans: The average Cuban family makes do on a salary of about CUC$30 - 35 per month. That’s the equivalent of about US$35. CUCs are the “convertible currency” of Cuba, required to be used by foreign visitors in the country and the currency used to price most “non-essential” consumer goods. The Cuban government pays its citizens with a different currency, a “national” currency that converts at about 20-25 “national” dollars to equal 1 CUC$. As with many things in Cuba, the currency and the economy are complicated.

Bread, rice, beans and other staples are available for purchase with the national currency and available at low prices, but consumer types of products like dog food, refrigerators and building materials are all priced in CUCs.

Miguel Calvo Cartaya and Loretta Rivero Sanchez discuss dog showing in Cuba

128 Dog News

In the “new Cuba” where economic reforms and resetting of the socialist systems that have been imposed in the last few years under Raul Castro, more people are encouraged to become self-employed rather than work for the government. And people with regular access to foreigners or hard currencies – those working in tourism are the most prominent example we saw – may be at an advantage right now in the new economy. Tourism workers, entrepreneurs pricing services in the CUC currency and people receiving regular funds from relatives in the US or other countries have regular access to CUC currency goods. Loretta and Miguel, with their grooming business, are in the forefront of the new Cuban economy.

Dog food is an issue for Cuban show dogs. There is no high quality dog food readily available in Cuba. Loretta spends the equivalent of US$80 for a small bag of Pedigree food, when she can get it. Dog food is another item on her shopping list when they travel outside of Cuba for dog shows, but there are limitations on bringing it back just because of the weight. Loretta spends time each day making about 8 pounds of dog food out of rice and chicken parts. She also uses lamb and beef when she can find it, and there is a freezer in the carport just for dog food. She laughed when she talked about conversations with her neighbors who think the dogs are overindulged – she and Miguel may have rice with eggs for dinner while the dogs are enjoying rice with chicken and lamb.

When the evening ended, we had a great appreciation for what dog fanciers in Cuba endure for the love of their dogs and the sport. They make tremendous sacrifices in the circumstances they face – finding proper food, medicine and grooming supplies. And in having the privilege of spending time with Miguel and Loretta, we also saw that universal joy in owning dogs that we see among our friends. We plan on staying in touch. And we look forward to a time when the political differences that divide our countries can fall away and we can see beautiful Cuban-bred dogs at Westminster – and perhaps enjoy a dog show in a shady Cuban park ourselves.

Mais Oui French Bulldogs Are Performance Dogs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 69

ours in obedience and rally but not in agility. I believe that dogs that are versatile make better companions which is what this breed was initially designed to do. It may be particularly important for Frenchies to be successful in performance events as they are often touted as ‘couch potatoes’ and they are much more than that although they do enjoy a good couch,” said Carlson, who owns five multi-titled French Bulldogs including Ch The Trouble with Tessa UDX VER RAE MX MXJ AXP MJPTHD UCD (“Tessa”), Tessa’s EZ Going Opal UD VER RE MX MXJ THD UCD (“Opal”), Ch And Josey Makes Three CDX RE OAP MJP THD (“Josey”), Gena Is Worth The Trouble CDX RE AX AXJ AXP AJP THD NDD (“Gena”) and What About Alice CD RE OA AXJ (“Alice”).

According to Dr. Morden-Moore, one of the significant problems in getting more Frenchies involved in performance events has been the reluctance of the parent club to recognize talented dogs in a variety of activities. “Just because there are not a lot of Frenchies doing agility who also attend the national specialty doesn’t mean that we would not want to show our dogs in agility at that event. What better way to showcase our talented dogs? There was an agility trial associated with our 2010 event but there hasn’t been one since that although I’ve heard there will be agility at this year’s national in Topeka. It has often been a struggle to get the club to designate even a half day towards performance events even though the national takes an entire week. Some progress has been made though as last year, for the first time, Versatility Awards of Merit were given to dogs that met certain criteria in a number of activities and in a number of titles . This was a wonderful accomplishment by the people that pushed this recognition in the club. It is a step in the right direction but there are still way too many people who think Frenchies are incapable of doing anything but strutting around a ring.”

Since he has about 100 titles, Soren (MACH2 PACH3 ARCHX UAGII UAGI UCD Daulokke’s Une Valliant Grosse SilverROM Gold-VOM CD CD-H RAE2 MXB2 MJS2 MXP11 MXPC MJP9 MJPG PAX3 XF OFP T2BP PD2 PG1 PK1 TBAD CISA C-ISLA C-BAA RL3-AOE RL2X-AOE RL1X-AOE CGC), one of Deb Stevenson’s Frenchies, definitely merits the “superdog” cape.

EB STEVENSON NOTED THAT WHILE THE BREED IS VERY TRAINABLE, attitude can be an obstacle with Frenchies. “As much as they love to learn and do, they are clever and can be willful.

They don’t appreciate drilling or repetition in training. They are more sensitive than one might think and they don’t respond well to harsh methods in training. They don’t like to be wrong and stress about making mistakes that can impact their performance when they feel pressured or insecure. But, one of the greatest obstacles to success in performance with a Frenchie are the things too many people believe are not possible with these dogs. It’s easy to think that possibilities are limited with a French Bulldog when it comes to performance and while there certainly are obstacles, they are much more capable in a lot of performance activities than you might think. When we first started doing performance activities, there was a pretty vocal contingent in the breed that felt Frenchies should be on the couch and not in the performance arena. Fortunately, a lot of dogs since then have proven these naysayers wrong.”

Hrnchar said that while the breed learns quickly, they are also bored just as quickly. “Finding ways to teach them things with limited repetitions and learning to quit while you are ahead as opposed to pushing for more has been the biggest challenge I’ve found in training this breed. What I’ve done is use alternative activities to ‘train’ and varying their work as much as possible. Going for a hike in the woods is great for condition and it’s much easier on their minds and bodies than a lot of agility course work. I also use exercise balls and other games to keep them interested and in shape. Alternating between agility and obedience training with a little tracking and nosework for fun have been very helpful. I’ve found that when the dogs work on something they haven’t done for awhile, they seem to approach it with newfound enthusiasm and pick up right where they left off in training. But, you have to be careful if you are more driven than your dogs, as I am. Doing something ‘just one more time’ to make it better can be your worst enemy. There’s nothing like having your dog lay down in the middle of the competition ring and just stare at you to tell you that they’ve had enough!”

As is the case with many of the small breeds, French Bulldogs have experienced a tremendous rise in popularity and this is creating some serious issues in the breed. “Without a doubt, the meteoric rise in the breed’s popularity in the last decade is the greatest challenge we face,” said McGill. “French Bulldogs went from 64th on the AKC’s list of popular breeds in 2001 to 18th in 2011. As a result of this popularity growth, there are people breeding and selling dogs that do not have the best interest of the French Bulldog breed at heart.”

Carlson agreed. “French Bulldogs are very cute and they have been seen on TV and in movies, all factors that have contributed to the sharp rise in the breed’s popularity. When a breed becomes popular, more dogs are bred than should be and more people are buying Frenchies that do not know what is involved with caring for one. This is a bad combination for any breed and Frenchies are no exception.”

“It’s very difficult to balance the production of HEALTHY, SOUND Frenchies with the demand for the breed,” said Dr. Morden-Moore. “It is really unfortunate they have become so popular in the last ten to fifteen years. Where there is a demand, there are less than reputable breeders who care more about making money than producing healthy dogs that will be cherished. So many people want to own a Frenchie but don’t do their research into the breed and become educated about their potential health problems. In this economy, people are dumping dogs including Frenchies in alarming numbers. They can’t keep up with the cost of their health care. Many of these dogs were never properly socialized by the breeders or by their owners and come into rescue with a variety of behavioral issues. It’s truly sad to see the state of many of these dogs. They were once adorable puppies and now they are someone’s trash.”

Heelwork To MUSIC RUGBY SEMI FINALS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 66

or performing training rounds. When you are judging it’s important that you are always aware that the first dog into the ring might be the winner. In this class it turned out that this was the case as Sandrine Mullie from Belgium with her Toy poodle Deejay White produced a nice routine to win the class.

After a change in the judges it was quickly onto the advanced heelwork to music class for those that had not qualified for the semi finals. Fifteen handlers has entered but again this was reduced to a mere five handlers after the normal training rounds and no shows.

Michelle Dodson and Kinaway doctor Kildare scored well performing to Brighter than the sun by the Cast of Smash to win the class.

At this point I needed to make my way to the judges’ table as I was one of the three judges for the Crufts heelwork to music semi final. Nerves can always be quite evident at the semi finals as the handlers don’t want to fall at the last hurdle and not gain one of the ten places in the Crufts final. I do wonder if it’s time that the semi finals were replaced with a similar system to obedience where a ticket winner during the year knows they have qualified for Crufts.

One of the first teams to stand out was Lucy Creek with her Border collie Harriot Skiffle King. Performing to Nightmare Before Christmas Skiffle performed some lovely heelwork positions and had brilliant attention throughout. They ended up on a score of 25.27.

This high score was just beaten by Karen Sykes and her working sheepdog Iakta Spring Spangle. They performed a super controlled tango routine with movements that reflected the music well but were still in keeping with a heelwork class. This twelve-year-old collie is still full of drive and sometimes can get a bit excited but the clever choreography seemed to allow the dog to get into positions cleanly.

I think this team might be the ones to beat at the Crufts HTM final.

After the prize giving there was then a short break which was very welcomed by myself as I had to get ready for the next class. The first of my dogs that I was working was Betty my small Chihuahua cross.

Training had been a bit up and down during the last few months with Betty and I really didn’t know how she would do and had my fingers

crossed she would just get to the end of the routine. Throughout the routine I gave her as much help as I could by either using my hands or vocal encouragement as I would rather a dog complete 90 per cent of a routine well than do 50 percent ok with the rest done badly. I was delighted to get her to the end and eventually found out she gained a place in the freestyle final at Crufts. My aim for Betty has always been to get her to a final as I don’t think a dog as small as her has ever got that far.

M

Y OTHER DOG WHIZZY WAS AT THE END OF THE class so after getting changed into the costume I just had to wait it out. You can never fully concentrate on other handler’s routines as you are thinking about your own but I saw a good routine from Sue Betteridge and Glenalpine Katie as well as Carole Dodson and Kinaway Doctor Watson.

It soon became time for Whizzy to go in to perform her burglar routine to the techno version of Pink Panther. The routine didn’t always seem to go to plan but I think I was lucky that I quickly managed to cover up a few things that went wrong. Our little bit of comedy at the end of the routine seemed to go down well with the audience and we ended up on a score of 25.03 which won us the class.

With the freestyle semi final over with it was straight onto the advanced freestyle class. Pauline Goddard with Mist of Snowdon can always be relied upon to put in a good performance. In this class they were performing to I Enjoy Being A Girl, which scored well with the judges and resulted in them winning the class.

Having sorted out my dogs during the advanced class I headed back to the judges’ table to judge the intermediate freestyle class. It had been a long day for many of the teams and some showed this in their performances. Sandrine Mullie from Belgium with her Toy poodles had won the first class of the day so had been waiting around all day for this class. Her white toy poodle went in first and scored well but it was her black toy poodle later on in the class that gained the winning score. Zippy Des Supers-Supers performed a routine centred around horses. There were some nice floor moves done from this pairing and the ending of the poodle sitting on the horse looked good.

So that was the Rugby show over for another year, well done to all the committee for putting on another super event and congratulations to all the winners and the teams that have qualified for the Crufts finals 2013.

The ten happy teams who secured their place in the Crufts heelwork to music final.

LettersTo The Editor Best Sari Ever?

S

ARI TIETJEN’S ARTICLE “JUDGES ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM” in the recent Westminster issue of Dog News is by far the best opinion (my opinion) written on the issues Sari presented.

Whereas, I agree with Sari’s opinion regarding the requirement for Field Representatives; I would suggest the Reps continue to observe and offer suggestions to the new judges for ring management, timing and procedure. This can be most helpful and is generally well received by the judges. This procedural help was accomplished in the 70’s and early 80’s without all the additional requirements that have been added over the years.

To the credit of the AKC they have continually tweaked the application process along with the expansion of the Field Staff requirements in an attempt to improve the process. Perhaps, it is time to look back and readopt some of the programs of past decades that were successful.

Kay J. Radcliffe Pahrump, NV

Chairman’s Report - Relentless Positive Action

N

EW YORK, NY – IN MY AUGUST CHAIRMAN’S REPORT, I introduced the concept of “relentless positive action” as a driving force in delivering new programs, new events, and new outreach. That philosophy is one that most certainly drives our best breeders in their determined quest for constantly improving their lines, and subsequently, their breeds. Like those breeders, the American Kennel Club is on a determined quest for improvement – in events, and subsequently, our sport.

To paraphrase former New York Mayor Ed Koch, “How are we doing?

What’s Working: The Grand Champion title was launched May 12, 2010. The entire logic behind the program was an understanding that a large number of owners wanted to continue to compete in conformation after achieving a Champion title on their dogs, but they did not want to actively campaign their dog for a national ranking. We believed the Grand Champion program would offer those exhibitors a meaningful goal in continuing to show their dogs and, therefore, help entries at shows.

In the year prior to the launch (2009), the Best of Breed class accounted for almost 374,000 entries. In the first full year of Grand Champion competition (2011), Best of Breed entries increased by almost 78,000 entries. Last year, the Best of Breed class accounted for almost 476,000 entries, an increase of 102,000 over the base year. The only explanation for this increase in entries is the Grand Champion program; there is no doubt the positive impact this new program is having on entries and the finances of our clubs. We believe the National Owner-Handler Series will continue to build Best of Breed entries.

The 4-6 Month Beginner Puppy Competition – which provides the opportunity for training, socialization and an introduction to conformation – became an approved sanctioned event on July 3, 2012. There were 96 Beginner Puppy events last year with a total entry of 2,171 puppies. The 4-6 Month Beginner Puppy Competition is an excellent public outreach program to bring new exhibitors and new dogs into Conformation. I encourage every club to consider offering this event.

The Beginner Novice optional titling class – a very popular combination of basic obedience and rally – seems to be having a positive impact on

Obedience entries, which are up almost 7,300 entries for 2012. Not only are the Beginner Novice classes up, but all obedience regular and optional classes are seeing positive growth.

The Coursing Ability Test (CAT) – a fun and healthy event modeled after lure coursing that is open to all adult dogs - is attracting a following. While Lure Coursing did not exhibit growth in 2012, the CAT program added more than 6,000 entries.

Agility continues to grow and we believe the Time 2 Beat Agility Class, a unique, “hybrid” titling class, is having impact on that growth. Last year, Agility – our second largest sport - increased entries by more than 117,000.

The AKC Canine Partners program, launched in 2009, continues to grow and bring new exhibitors and dog lovers into the world of AKC. Last year, these dogs and their owners, many coming from 4-H clubs, entered our events more than 40,000 times.

What Are We Working On?: The 2012 Conformation entry statistics reveal two other interesting trends. The number of new dogs being exhibited has remained basically constant at 41% of the total dogs exhibited.

However, it appears people might be waiting until their dogs are more competitive before beginning to show them – most likely a result of the economic state of the nation. Creating additional opportunities to show young dogs is a priority for us. Fortunately, we are currently vetting a unique concept conceived by an active breeder/exhibitor/judge that appears to hold significant promise for the future.

Next month in Tulsa the AKC is hosting the first ever AKC Rally® National Competition in conjunction with the Obedience and Agility National Championships. This event will help bring recognition to those owners and dogs that train for and enjoy the sport of Rally.

AKC My Dog Can Do That!® has proven to be extremely successful in bringing new dogs and new exhibitors to experience Agility and Rally.

About half the participants are Conformation people who were interested in learning about a new sport and half were people who had never been to a dog show. We are developing a program to make it easier for clubs to activate this program locally.

The success of Beginner Puppy and My Dog Can Do That! are perfect examples of using the AKC registrant database to benefit clubs, owners, and their dogs. We will continue to find ways to use this powerful tool in support of our clubs and their events.

Our continued success in events depends on our continued ability to innovate new programs. AKC Staff is committed to doing just that. While not every program will be successful, the spirit of “relentless positive action” requires that we stay open to new ideas and are willing to risk the occasional failure.

Our success also depends on a bit of relentless positive communication.

Now that you know some of our success stories, let’s all help spread the word. As in all sports, momentum is part of the game.
