the editorial

DOG NEWS ENDORSEMENTS FOR BOARD ELECTIONS This is one of the more unusual Board elections within the last decade since term limit restrictions prevent both the Board Chairman of the last 10 years and his Vice Chairman from running this year. Both, however, are eligible to run next year should either so choose to do.

As a result of these two openings to be filled immediately after the election there is a major shift in priorities when it comes to endorsing anyone for the vacant Board seats. A new Chairperson could affect the very viability of AKC for the next decade or so. Which makes it all the more important to support people who will vote into this position the most progressive and positive of thinkers. A person with a vision for the future, an eye to the past and an understanding of the needs of the present is what the Board must be on the alert for. He or she must be someone whose interests are corporate oriented and not personally motivated! And there is just such a person seeking this seat from his fellow Board members. Unfortunately not one of the candidates running for the Board are willing to take a public stand as to whom they will vote for should they be elected notwithstanding the fact that the camps are evenly divided and the choice is as plain as can be! Not only that but one camp of sitting Directors refuses to state publicly whether they are in favor of an open or closed Board voted to determine who is to become Board Chair. Let’s hope that the Fancy is not going to be faced with the repeat shenanigans of years ago when in a closed vote it took over seven hours to decide between Bob Berndt or Jim Smith to be Chairman without the Fancy ever learning who voted for who! Why Gladstone, Ashby, Amen and Battaglia insist upon remaining silent on this point is inexplicable except to presume they are up to no good in the matter.

At least the Kalter team of sitting directors has openly taken a position of an open vote while ALL the candidates running from the floor were willing to go public on their stands except for Mr. Finney as of the writing of this editorial (See this WEEKS QUESTION OF THE WEEK ON THIS SUBJECT). As far as these pages are concerned without a public stand as to whom they will vote for we withhold any endorsement of any candidate for the Board whether nominated by the Nominating Committee or individuals running from the floor. Some people running from the floor are playing both sides in an effort be re-elected and to them we say a total fie on you all. Those willing to say privately for whom they will vote deserve some support one would suppose but if they are not willing to go public on this issue what makes you think they can be trusted on future issues as well. What these pages will endorse however is Alan Kalter as Board Chair and any candidate who is willing to support him as well. Keep in mind this election is about who will become our new Board Chairman, which will determine the future of our sport and hobby for years to come. You know you are in capable and proven hands with Alan Kalter for sure!!

MANIPULATING THE ELECTION Some Internet Chatter led by a Judge from Texas who may or may not be a delegate-one hopes for the sake of the Delegate Body she is not one- has accused DOG NEWS of attempting to “manipulate the elections”. Well if running 22 pages of Questions to the Candidates is what she is referring to these pages happily plead guilty to her charge. If she is referring to the fact that editorially these pages have not taken a stand on any one candidate again we plead happily guilty to her charges. If we have attempted to get people to speak out publicly on as many issues as possible again we happily plead guilty to her charges. What individual writers write in their columns are their opinions and in no way reflects the editorial stand of DOG NEWS. Indeed in this week’s issue Connie Vanacore endorses three people—they are not necessarily our choices but are hers and hers alone. Is this manipulation of an election or the common practice of freedom of the press and freedom of speech?

THE RE-ALIGNMENT DEBATE Most reasonable people understand the need for some kind of Group and Breed realignment. The problem, which has existed for years now, is how to implement these changes. Indeed when the original Committee in 1984 was formed with Herman Felton as Chairman not even the heady weight of an Anne Rodgers Clark, Jack Marvin, Council Parker and Donna Hausman serving on that Committee, to name but a few, could push through its comparative mild changes as compared to today’s more radical ideas. Of course in the ‘80’s there not over 150 breeds with which to contend but the resistance to any form of dog show change is so inborn as to almost prevent positive progress from being made on any level whatsoever. Which is one reason these pages frequently take the position that the word democracy cannot and should not apply to AKC operations. AKC is much more than a registration body it is a regulatory body as well and as such has the obligation and power to make changes to its internal structure as best meets the needs of its constituents. Sure input is needed from the constituencies on most everything but there is a difference between input and input. Input, which starts off negatively and refuses to recognize the need for change, must be ignored. Look at Tennis—Is the Tennis of today the same as the Tennis of 30 years ago? Absolutely not and if the powers in charge of that sport were not given a complete leeway it probably would have become a dying sport. The same thinking applies to dogs and dog shows. Either we trust and believe in our leaders or we do not. Change is both necessary and inevitable in the Group alignment area-to sit back and criticize each and every idea without giving it an opportunity to be played out results in a replay of 1984 with nothing ever getting accomplished.

CRUFTS Next week is the great and powerful dog show of them all - the Crufts Dog Show Event will take place not in London but in Birmingham at the NEC as usual. With its over 21,000 entries Crufts remains the largest drawing dog show in the world notwithstanding FCI’s hopes of topping it with its show last year in Paris. This fact may very well have motivated the evil intent on the part of the BBC and Jemima Harrison in producing and airing PDE II just the week before Crufts began. In its attempt to produce an audience and to give Jemima another “15 Minutes of Andy Warhol fame” this misguided and unfair program self-proclaimed as a documentary when in fact it is not one at all hardly created the stir of its predecessor. It did however produce the usual reaction from the animal righters of the UK as the shotgun effect of its producers made its usual unfair accusations against breeders everywhere without distinction. Here’s to Crufts however and its staying capacity and its successes to come in 2012 and beyond. And to the BBC and Ms. Harrison, get a life and leave the concerned breeders of the world alone.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Why the sudden confusion about when to award the RBIS starting in July? Is it before or after BIS? After is the answer but who really cares-what an unnecessary award and foolish thing to have implemented at all is the reaction of these pages to it for sure!

BY SARI BREWSTER TIETJEN

T

his particular proposal, if passed, would mandate 11 groups instead of the present 7 at allbreed shows. It basically would have the effect of splitting the Working Group into three groups, the Hound into two groups and Sporting into two groups. Non-sporting would have many of its breeds repositioned. The only groups left essentially untouched are the Terrier and Toy Groups.

The main reason being given by those who support the concept is that it would decrease the size of a majority of the current groups by repositioning some of the breeds into the new groups; would make it easier for AKC to place its newly recognized breeds in group categories; and would provide more of an opportunity for group placements within the smaller groups. The latter is the one strongly favored by AKC’s marketing staff and Board of Directors as they believe such an opportunity would enhance entries and thereby add to AKC’s dollar intake.

On the other hand, those opposed to the proposal believe that just handing out ribbons is not what showing dogs is all about (and in not forgetting a concept last year to increase the number of group placements from the current 4 to 6 that was floated and then withdrawn until the increase in groups was voted upon) look to the future when judges will be doing just that with the smaller group sizes that will inevitability exist in many parts of the country.

Other reasons given by those who do not favor the idea of increasing the number of groups from 7 to 11 cite the 14 Dog News

fact that such an increase would mean that the length of shows would be longer; the expenses a club would incur would be increased by the number of additional rosettes and trophies; many shows held in the “fly-over” parts of the US, as well as smaller shows in other areas, could windup at the end of the day with just six or less dogs eligible for group participation; and clubs that hold special classes, such as Best Bred-By Exhibitor, or Best Puppy, Best Veteran or even the newly established OwnerHandled in show, would have to also provide for these within the expanded groups - meaning extra time being allotted from the Breed ring to the separate Group and then BIS ring, as well as additional costs for ribbons and trophies, if any are offered.

For those who closely follow the rating systems, these systems will be askew if additional groups are added.

Systems based on the number of group wins will favor those groups with a lesser number of breeds in competition. Similarly, systems based on number of dogs defeated will strongly favor – in this instance and with its growing number of breed dogs being shown – dogs winning in the Toy Group.

It must be noted that this proposal is an amendment to AKC’s Bylaws and Rules Governing Dog Show and requires a 2/3rd vote of those present and voting to pass.

Some have suggested that given the interest in and ramification of such a proposal that the Delegates ask for a Roll Call vote on the issue. This would require every Delegate voting to do so by individual name that is noted in the Secretary’s Minutes with

THE WAY IT IS

There has been a lot of discussion in the “active” dog world about one of the forthcoming proposals slated to be voted on by the Delegates to the American Kennel Club at their March 13th meeting.

his or her Club’s name also so affixed. Since many clubs have instructed their Delegate how to vote, a Roll Call vote assures the club that its Delegate voted according to its wishes. With the way matters are usually conducted at the Delegates’ meeting, most votes are voice in body or standing in group indicating a group consensus appearing in the Secretary’s Minutes instead of an individual vote.

This is not the first time a measure of this sort has been raised. It was previously discussed in 2009, but with a proposal that would increase the number of groups from 7 to 10. This move was essentially proposed by those who wanted to give their breeds more of an opportunity for group wins (although such desire was never formally stated) by putting them into groups where they would not have to compete with more popular winning breeds. Such an idea was basically DOA. In addition to voting on the proposed additional groups, Delegates will be electing new members to its Board of Directors. There are 7 candidates vying for the 3 seats. None of the incumbents are eligible for reelection as they were termed out according to the By-laws.

The proposal to allot championship points to the Reserve Winners Dog and Bitch at a Parent Club designated National Specialty is going to be withdrawn by the proposing club, if there is no objection to doing so. If objection arises, a vote will be taken.

As the March meeting is also the Annual Meeting of the AKC, Delegates will hear “State of the Union” remarks from the President concerning where the AKC has been in the past year and the projections of where it might be headed.

All in all, this is an important meeting that has ramifications for the future of our sport. It is vital that all Delegates make an effort to attend and vote on these crucial and decisive matters.

“A VERY SAD FEBRUARY”

BY PAT TROTTER The beautiful picture of W. Everett Dean Jr. and the glorious ASCOB Cocker Spaniel Ch. Artru Hot Rod floating around the BIS rings of the 1950s was an experience never to be forgotten. Record-setting performances by the pair included all breed and specialty BIS honors only to be broken by future dogs able to capitalize on the expanding numbers of dog shows. Such memories of those we love and lose are lasting and permanent.

H

is tragic death leaves a drastic void in our judging community, as Everett Dean’s knowledge of dogs, compassion for breeders and their fine animals and charming demeanor in the ring were a brilliant combination. His gentle hands on a dog spoke volumes of his love for dogs, and perhaps it is fitting that the last dog he had his hands on shortly before his death was the black Cocker Spaniel Ch. Casablanca’s Thrilling Seduction, for he loved this dog he had selected early on in his career and followed his successful campaign with great interest. Michael and Linda Pitts visited Everett with “Beckham” a few weeks before his death, and the dog ran to his weakened arms as though he understood the loss that would come, displaying all the attributes of loving temperament that long kept the Cocker at the top of breed popularity in the United States.

Although Everett’s glory days in the show ring were with the American Cocker Spaniel, his first love and

also his lasting love was the Boxer, the breed with which he began his lifelong commitment to dogs. Nothing pleased Everett more than a breathtaking Boxer bitch with a beautiful headpiece, lovely elegant out line on her square body and correct running gear to complete the package. Always he wanted them-in any breed- to have correct neck and shoulders and a proper front assembly.

Everett’s old school appreciation of the front of a functional dog dates back to his association with Norman Austin, “Mr. Cocker Spaniel” of the 20th Century. Norman provided Everett with the guidance to develop and refine his natural talents in becoming an artistic and accomplished professional handler as well as the learning experience to become the great judge later revered by the dog fancy. So much emphasis was placed by classic dogmen of the day on correct fronts that their description of “neckandshoulders” made it all sound like one word.

I know because I was the star struck girl hanging around their crates soakCONTINUED ON PAGE 82

question week

MARCH 2, 2012

THIS QUESTION IS DIVIDED BETWEEN THOSE BOARD MEMBERS WHO WILL REMAIN ON THE BOARD AFTER THE MARCH ELECTIONS AND THE CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR THE BOARD. As a BOARD MEMBER after the elections if the question is raised as to whether the vote for Board Chairman is to be an open or closed vote - how will you vote?

THE

OF THE

And as a CANDIDATE FOR THE BOARD presumming your election to same how would you vote on a motion for a closed vote as compared to an open vote?

JOHN RONALD Were I elected, I would have no problem supporting an open vote.

DR. CHARLES GARVIN

In this setting, secret balloting is preferable.

It is the best way to elicit the uninfluenced, independent thoughts of each of the board members, and makes for a more harmonious board going forward.

ROBERT SMITH Open vote.

LEE ARNOLD It has been customary in AKC Board meetings regarding decisions that need to be made, the item is presented, discussed, then an open vote is taken. As Board members, being elected by the Delegate body, we have an obligation to the Delegates and the Fancy to be transparent as to how each Board member votes. The monthly Board minutes listed on the Secretary’s page, lists how each AKC Board member votes on the business brought before the Board. The same would be applicable for the vote for Board Chairman in my view.

PAT SCULLY I want it to be an open vote for Board Chairman.

BY MATTHEW H. STANDER

PATRICIA CRUZ Either way is perfectly acceptable to me. An “open” or “closed” ballot will have no effect on my vote - it will be the same no matter what the Board decides to do that day.

LYNN WORTH SMITH Regarding the paragraphs below: On any Board that I have served over the years, voting on people was always a confidential ballot -- or closed as you stated.

That’s how I would prefer to vote on individuals.

BY CONNIE VANACORE The election of Directors for the class of 2016 will be held at the annual meeting of the American Kennel Club on March 13. This will be the first time that the provision of a two term limit for Directors will directly impact the direction in which AKC proceeds in the future. The old adage, “be careful what you wish for…” will surely be put to the test in this contested election.

Connie’s

A large field of hopeful candidates is vying for three seats on the Board. It is my hope that all Delegates have taken the time to read through the voluminous question and answer article in the February 10th issue of Dog News. Each year John Mandeville and the Dog News staff compile a detailed questionnaire for all the candidates. The answers are sometimes revealing, and sometimes enlightening by what is not said in the responses.

Delegates arrive at their conclusions in various ways. Some clubs allow their representatives to use their judgment concerning the candidates. Others send their Delegates directed on how to vote. It is the opinion of this writer that Delegates should inform themselves sufficiently to make up their own minds. They have access to better information than club members who are not in the thick of the fray. It is to be hoped that Delegates have availed themselves of all the information available about every candidate and are thus able to make informed decisions on behalf of their constituents.

Voting for Board members can be either a simple one-vote process to choose three candidates from the ballot, or it can be a long and drawn-out affair. To be elected a candidate must have a majority of those present and voting. If no one gets a majority on the first ballot, the process is repeated until three candidates are elected by majority votes.

In some elections all three seats have been filled on the first ballot. More likely,

however, in a crowded field such as this year, it will take more than one ballot to accomplish the needed majority.

Although no longer a Delegate, this writer has attempted to keep abreast of the candidates, their views, and most important, their attitudes towards the Board and their perceived duties as members of the governing body of AKC. It takes some dedication, and more fortitude to wade through some of the verbiage which the candidates have presented to the public. Some seem to think that brevity is not the soul of wit, but the more words you can throw at the reader the more gravitas you show.

In starting out my self-appointed assignment to select the three candidates I would like to see take seats on the Board, I first looked for a coherent point of view. Does the candidate present a consistent picture of his or her opinions? Did I learn anything new from the candidates? What kind of background does the candidate represent? Is their history compatible with what the Board requires to move AKC in a positive direction?

Since none of the candidates is running against an incumbent this year, their attitudes about responsibility to the organization and to its history and continuity are important. How do they measure up in experience, attitude and temperament when working as newcomers in a group of established individuals?

Is there sufficient diversity among the candidates to assure that various points of view are represented? Are their responses to the questions clear, or merely designed to ramble on in order to obfuscate the reader?

All that being said, I would have liked to have seen a summary, in their own words, of the candidates’ vision of the future of AKC. I found none of that in the responses to the questions. I did not find any positive comments by anyone running for office. Since no one was campaigning against an incumbent I found that offensive to both those Board members with whom the newcomers will have to work, and to the staff.

It is my hope that whoever is elected, will give credit to those who have worked tirelessly on behalf of AKC. I hope they will project a more optimistic viewpoint than that which is reflected in their written responses and on chatlines and phone calls.

Here, then, (drum roll, please!) are my choices for the class of 2015: Patricia Cruz, Thomas Powers, Lynn Worth Smith. These candidates exhibit varied talents with varied experience in very different fields of endeavor. Please feel free to call or write me with your comments.

FREEDOMis one of my favorite words,despite that I at an early age was told that Freedom was a synonym for Responsibility .

To be considered a responsible breeder by today’s standard, you must follow certain rules regarding health and fitness - an issue brought to the forefront all over the world after the infamous BBC program a couple of years ago.

I

believe that if you were lucky enough to be born and bred in the US, you grew up with a more uniform dog world than if you happened to start off in any Scandinavian country.

For the majority of breeds we were leaning on the UK for purchase of dogs and mainly English judges were “imported” whenever we needed an expert.

For the remainder of the breeds like GSD’s, Boxers, Dobermans, Schnauzers (all varieties) and Great Danes- German judges were frequently on our panels .

And what a difference.

The English judges- although all experts in their own rightwere mostly friendly, helpful and tactful. Their critiques were very cautious not to insult anybody and were normally always helpful with anything to do with their breed or breeds. And even if you did not win, you felt good about the experience.

Then where does Freedom come into all this?

We live today in a world where more and more rules and regulations are imposed upon us, while it is a fact that all our breeds were created by breeders who had total freedom, followed their own head or intuition, but still were able to create all these wonderful breeds –often for specific purposes.

Having grown up in the middle of the rather relaxed and open attitude of the Brits and the very heavily controlled and restricted Germans, in my opinion there was no contest which of the two systems worked best.

Choose Freedom!

I don’t know if they still have “zuchtwachts”, loosely translated to “breed wardens”, in some breeds in Germany. I do believe they still exist.

Can you as a serious and experienced breeder imagine anything more annoying than that your entire breeding program is under the control of your breed club. First it was decided if the bitch was suitable for breeding, if she were of the right age,

BY GEIR FLYCKT-PEDERSEN 30 Dog News

Face facts! The UK or England must be given credit for establishing so many breeds, be it domestic breeds or breeds they “took on” from other parts of the world or their empire, refined and improved themand in many cases exported them back to their countries of origin.

Since my early days I have loved England, Wales and Scotland. As often as I could I crossed the North Sea to spend time over there. Time spent going from show to show, kennel to kennel- of any breed- spending hours upon hours listening to experienced breeders telling their stories. Stories which included the origin of the breeds, why different breeds were bred in selected part of the country. Many of my mentors were people who themselves had worked in significant kennels as early as by the turn of the century when so many breeds and breed clubs were established.

And all they achieved was done in total freedom, without interference from any kennel club, breed club or “zuchtwacht”.

And they created the foundation for most of the breeds we see in the ring today.

Has it ever occurred to you what the population of Tellus would be like if you applied the same requirement to the breeding of human beings as we do for our dogs ?

If any member of your family was blind, had cataracts, was deaf ,lacked pigmentation, was under –or overshot, had heart problems of any kind, hip or knee problems, had a bad temperament !!! etc., etc- they would be considered unsuitable for breeding!!!

One thing is for sure: I wouldn’t be here and the globe would surely never be overpopulated !

babbling

The same of course applied to a few German judges, but the majority of them gave critiques both in writing and verbally, their honest opinion about what they saw without “sugar coating” anything.

I think it was part of the GSD people’s culture, as they all seemed to enjoy this- but I saw many a Boxer, Doberman or Schnauzer owner leave the ring in tears.

In those days the Norwegian Kennel Club published the critiques from every show in the country and I used to read every one of them- and even compare different opinions of the same dog.

Although it could at times be confusing, I still believe I learnt from it. More than anything I was fascinated by the often huge difference of opinions between judges!

And thinking about it, isn’t it just this fact that makes this sport so interesting and always gives us something to discuss and talk about?

Shame in a way they stopped this publication, but the tradition is still kept up by most of the breed clubs. So whenever you judge in Scandinavia- remember that the critique is important and not only read by the dog’s owners, but by all club members and lots of judges!

then they advised you as to which stud dog to use, then they came along when the litter was born and I know that in some breeds you were only allowed to keep 6 puppies in a litter. And the “zuchtwacht” decided which puppies should live !!!

I just wonder how many puppies were never allowed to grow up into something wonderful.

Why do I keep Babbling about this?

It has been a pet subject of mine since moving from Norway to Sweden many moons ago. Facing so many bureaucratic rules and regulations complicates lives for us all-and distracts from what always will be our prime interest : To breed beautiful, healthy dogs that resemble the breed they are supposed to be!

So many breeders have so much more knowledge about dogs’ health issues than most veterinarians, but as they have no formal qualification they do not really have a voice!

Living in the UK for many years, breeding and showing dogs, we thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of freedom we had as breeders. That has now been changed mainly due to the infamous TV program.

What really upsets me about all this : The Kennel Clubs- be it the KC or AKC-are in my opinion the ultimate expert in all aspects re: the breeding of pedigree dogs.

So instead of just rolling over and “swallowing” whatever is being hailed at them, they should stand their ground, floor the opposition and defend their/ our corner!!

I only wish Margaret Thatcher had been involved in the dog world on our side when all this happened!

Has it ever been advertised or made known to the general public, that when they follow the advice (often from their vets) and buy a mongrel/designer dog- they in most cases miss out on decades of health schemes and research that so many breeds and breeders are involved in and which has cost them tears and money!

All with the purpose of breeding healthy, long living dogs which can be a positive addition to any family.

But I just wonder: Are healthy dogs really what most veterinarians want?? Some do of course, but looking at their fees- I’m not so sure!

BRACE YOURSELF

The Joys of Armchair Gardening

I was unable to get to Westminster this year so opted to be a mere armchair Gardener, watching the proceedings at Madison Square Garden via the live streaming that was available on line. Given the time difference, it meant a couple of very late nights but still the sense of occasion comes across and it’s almost as exciting as being there in person. The feeling of involvement was heightened by constant text messages from Ian Gabriel and Jason Lynn who were ringside and their pithy observations all too regularly coincided with my own. Ian really should judge more breeds.

Earlier some of the breed judging had been something of an anti-climax purely by virtue of numbers, or the lack thereof. I wonder in Westminster’s heyday whether the founding fathers of American dogdom could ever have contemplated that in 2012 there would be just two Wire Fox Terriers and four Pekingese present at the nation’s most famous dog show?

But still the Garden group judging has a totally unique sense of occasion as the fancy’s glitterati turn up in their finery and the crowds cheer and holler for their favourites like at no other show I have ever attended.

I had managed to watch most of the groups on line but then, along with a multitude of Facebook friends all around the world, I was grief-stricken when on Tuesday the streaming crashed just as the Terrier group was going in ... and never recovered. As a consequence I never got to see this most important of groups and Best until the following evening. Thanks to Dr Ian and Jason I was kept up to speed as and when everything happened and simultaneously both sent that all important one worded message ... PEKINGESE! Cindy Vogels, unforgettably attired, positively beamed as – having marked her book - she announced her BIS winner, and I am sure every Pekingese breeder

pooch was top toy in show’s most competitive group ...

This Peke was at his peak.

Malachy the Pekingese wobbled off with best in show tonight at the Westminster Kennel Club, becoming America’s dog to the delight of an adoring crowd that called his name. The four-year-old bobbing pompom won his 115th overall best in show title. He beat out a Dalmatian, German Shepherd, Doberman Pinscher, Irish Setter, a Kerry Blue Terrier and Wire-Haired Dachshund at Madison Square Garden.

Handler David Fitzpatrick gave Malachy a little help he carried him a short way onto the green carpet for the final line-up, shortening the long walk in the ring. Malachy’s pink tongue popped up from his silver-and-white fur, his eyes sparkling like black diamonds as he soaked in the cheers.”

I am however sure that such daftness would not have detracted from the delight felt by David along with Malachy’s co-owners and backers, Iris Love and Sandra Middlebrooks. Incidentally it was heartwarming to see a photograph of David and Malachy at a facility for disadvantaged children the day after they had won Best, the youngsters obviously adoring Malachy who was revelling in the attention. I wonder how many of the papers picked up on seeing a top show dog in that kind of situation?

What is more I had earlier watched them being interviewed live on the Today television programme despite David’s admitting that he had been celebrating with friends till 3 a.m.!

As I understand it David bought Malachy unseen from breeders Jim and Jean Smith who, having been apCONTINUED ON PAGE 86

in the UK rejoiced as American Champion Palacegarden Malachy brought glory to both the breed and the country by walking off with the most coveted award in American dogdom.

David Fitzpatrick is acknowledged as being a true genius when it comes to finding, presenting and handling this unique breed. Unassuming, yet still as sharp as a tack, David has always shown his dogs in his own unhurried and totally appropriate style, walking alongside his charges at the correct pace and has never been tempted to race around the ring as do so many American handlers ... even when showing Toy breeds. At a time when the Pekingese breed has had so much to deal with in the UK this was a huge boost for the breed and Malachy put on a flawless performance in the New York spotlight.

Sadly we are not the only nation to have a lay press that loves to ridicule our sport. One newspaper’s report had me cringing when I read: “Top dog! Malachy the Pekingese wobbles off with best in show title at Westminster (and the competition looks devastated) ... Four-year-old

M

y first memory of the Garden was 1958 when my father won the Hound group with the Whippet, Ch. Laguna Lucky Lad. This was the first Whippet ever to win the group at Westminster. He was exported out of England because he was a bit larger than their taste. In 1958 Best went to the Standard Poodle “Ch. Puttencove Promise”, handled by Bob Gorman. My father, Harry, and Bob Gorman had grown up together in a small Scottish town called Coatbridge. Just seven years later another Coatbridge raised kid, Johnny Murphy, captured Best at the Garden with the Scottie, Ch. Carmichaels Fanfare. Coatridge was also my birthplace and maybe it brought me luck when my Chow, “Star”, won the group there in 1992. In the over fifty years of attending the Garden there are so many great memories a book could be written.

In 1969 everyone packed up the memories of the old location, which was actually called New Madison Square Garden where they had been since 1926. The present location went back to being just named Madison Square Garden and was such a welcome new location.

The inaugural show in the new location was won by Walter Goodman with the Skye Terrier, Ch. Glamoor Good News. Everyone will always remember the first year at the present location because the city was paralyzed by one of the biggest blizzards in history. Nothing could move on the streets and Walter carried “Susie” to the show.

Until 2011 no significant changes took place on how Westminster utilized the Garden.

Last year due to construction Westminster had to give up the formal benching due to space restrictions and actually everyone liked the new setup. This year Westminster was faced with ever tighter space restrictions. When it was announced that the Terriers and Toys would be judged and benched in the Theater, five levels down, a lot of panic set in. Everybody feared the worst since it would take twenty minutes to get from one level to the other level.

This was going to be extremely difficult for the handlers and fanciers who wanted to watch various breeds. CONTINUED ON PAGE 90

he Caucasus or Caucasia is a geopolitical region at the border of Europe and Asia, and situated between the Black and the Caspian Sea. It is home to the Caucasus Mountains, including Europe’s highest mountain, Mount Elbrus. Politically, the Caucasus region is separated between Northern and Southern parts.

This region is were the concept of a Caucasian race was developed around 1800 by Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, a German anthropologist who named it after the Southern Caucasian peoples, whom he considered to be the archetype for the group.

He based his classification of the Caucasian race primarily on craniology.

In Greek mythology the Caucasus, or Kaukasos, was one of the pillars supporting the world. Jason sailed to the west coast of the Caucasus, where he met Medea, and Jason and the Argonauts journeyed to steal the Golden Fleece. (The fleece of the winged golden ram hold by the king of Colchis).

VETERINARIAN SPEAKS OUT ON PETA AND WESTMINSTER

“A

SPEAKS

THE FANCY dorable mixed breedsâ€? get cancer, epilepsy, allergies, heart disease, and orthopedic problems just like purebreds. I see it every day in my veterinary practice but mixed breed dogs aren’t tracked like the purebreds so they have a reputation as “healthierâ€? that is actually undeserved in many cases. It is so sad that a lot of folks, including young veterinarians these days, buy into the “hybrid vigorâ€? baloney. The vet schools have been inďŹ ltrated by the Animal Rights Extremists, who are teaching them this junk science in order to push their agenda. All animals have a certain amount of genetic load, which is to say there is absolutely no animal without some genetic problem of some sort of another. s +NOW ANYONE WHO WEARS GLASSES s (AS ALLERGIES s 4HYROID PROBLEMS s 7EAK KNEES s &LAT FEET s ! SKIN CONDITION s !RTHRITIS s ! GAP BETWEEN THEIR FRONT TEETH

These are all genetic imperfections. No human is genetically “clean.â€? Neither is any individual of any species on earth. So this idea that dogs should not be bred because they might have a genetic problem, and that breeders are somehow “evilâ€? for breeding them, is ridiculous. Every single individual of every single species has at least a few genetic conditions. To use PeTA’s logic, all breeding of all kinds (including having human babies) should halt immediately. And to be honest, Ingrid Newkirk (the woman who founded PeTA) does believe exactly that. She thinks that humans should become extinct, along with dogs, cats, etc. This ridiculous scenario is precisely what she would like to see happen. So folks, if that is what you want...if you agree with Ingrid Newkirk’s whacky views, send your hard earned money to PeTA. They will help to ensure you are not able to own a dog or cat or hamster or any other pet in the future. They will see to it that you can’t eat meat or ďŹ sh or eggs or any type of animal-based nutrition. They will WORK TO SHUT DOWN PLACES LIKE 3EA 7ORLD THE ZOOS ETC

so you cannot observe the many wonderful animals on the Earth. Eventually, once they accomplish these things, they may turn their efforts to making it illegal for humans to procreate. If you don’t agree with their extremist views, wise up and start supporting those who truly do love, care for and enjoy interaction with other species here on our little blue planet. The fanciers of the BREEDS THOSE YOU SEE EXHIBITING THEIR DOGS AT 7ESTMINster and other dog shows, work very hard to eliminate serious genetic conditions. They screen their breeding stock with every available test. They research pedigrees before breeding into other lines, to check for similar clearances in those animals. They contribute money to RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS TO FURTHER THE WORK BEING DONE to track down genetic problems. They contribute blood, cell samples, etc., from their own animals to help with 50 Dog News

DNA and genome studies. They have made great progress so far, and they continue to work hard at it. !RE THERE UNETHICAL BREEDERS #ERTAINLY THERE are. Just as in any group of humans, you will ďŹ nd the good and the bad. United States VP Elect Joe Biden, for example, managed to ďŹ nd a not so good one when he got his new German Shepherd puppy. I don’t know who did his research for him, but they obviously didn’t do their homework if they were looking for a responsible breeder. Joe has the right to get his dog from whomever he wishes, but if he was trying to set an example of purchasing from a responsible hobby breeder he went off the track this time. That’s too bad, but it was his choice. Unfortunately, breeders like that may be a lot easier to ďŹ nd because of their high volume and high proďŹ le. If you are looking for a nice family pet from a breeder who will be there for you forever, you need to do due diligence. You won’t get that from a pet store. You won’t get that from the GUY SELLING DOGS OUT OF HIS PICKUP TRUCK IN THE 7AL-ART parking lot. You won’t get that support from a highvolume breeder, either. Yes, it takes a little more time and effort to ďŹ nd someone who really cares and does all the work to breed the healthiest, happiest puppies possible and then stands behind those puppies. This is a living being that will be part of your family, hopefully, for many years. Isn’t it worth a bit of effort to ďŹ nd a breeder who will be there for you and that puppy FOREVER !ND GUESS WHAT 3HOWS LIKE 7ESTMINSTER ARE a very valuable resource for ďŹ nding breeders who do care and who use the best possible practices, as well as for learning more about the various breeds. Bravo TO 53! .ETWORK FOR BROADCASTING THE 7ESTMINSTER +ENNEL #LUB SHOW ALL THESE YEARS -AY THEY ENJOY CONtinued success through the ongoing inclusion of such programs.

Dog Show Tours

BY MARION BRADSHAW

T

he dog show tours left the Superintendents Area at the Silver Bay Kennel Club show on Saturday, Feb 25. When people started gathering for the Tour, it was VERY EVIDENT the group was huge and needed to be divided….must have had over 50 people although the size doesn’t show in these pictures. Jan Hill does a great job with preshow advertising, both in the newspaper and with local radio public service announcements. The Silver Bay Kennel Club has a “meet the breeds”, which is a huge draw and the Tours give visitors more information and understanding of our sport.

I have been encouraged by the tour leaders with a “script” so reluctant volunteers are easy to come by….and the last item on the script asks….”how many of you have seen the TV advertising where for $19.99 you can save one of these poor animals?” Well, as you know, EVERYONE has seen those ads but the public doesn’t understand they are HSUS or ASPCA solicitation scams with virtually no money ever reaching local shelters. These tours are a way to connect the dots for the public to understand that the money collected goes to legislation to stop animal ownership. If people want to help, they need to give to their local shelter.

Palm Springs had three tours per show, Silver Bay had one each day, and Gay Dunlap is organizing for Fiesta Cluster in Scottsdale area for next weekend. This is a rather energizing way to meet the public with our love of the dogs and to impart our concerns.

From A Field-Show Breeder’s Perspective

BY GEORGE BELL PHOTOS BY HERB WELLS

I

t was our 8th year of the “streaming video project” at Westminster Kennel Club to have the entire entry of dogs up on the WKC website the day of the shows. The project led by Karolynne McAteer was the brainchild of Westminster announcer David Frei. This was the first year we have had a live window streaming on the website. Our intrepid crew of 7 video shooters planned to shoot every dog in the show, plus our roving camera manned by Ron Bigford. On Monday, I was shooting among other breeds a couple of my favorites, Greyhounds and Whippets, in their entire splendor. Beautiful coats and beautiful dogs and among the Whippets was the top Whippet in breed history who took the breed and placed in the hound group. Because the HD video camera is actually inside the corner of each breed ring, the shooters are treated to the audible commands of the handlers with their charges, and this led to another level of excitement, particularly in German Shepherd dog judging. Jimmy Moses was quietly growling orders to his dog, and the dog responded in kind. I can only imagine what he was telling the dog in the BIS ring under the spotlight as they circled the arena on the green carpet. His dog was putting on an impressive show at the big dance.

But it was on Tues. that I was assigned to shoot some Terrier breeds judged by the living legend, Peter Green. Among his many accolades, Peter Green has won BIS on 4 occasions at Westminster KC show and a BIS at Crufts. This was the first time to use the 2 new theater rings one level below the arena floor of the Garden. Peter Green approached me before beginning his assignment and we discussed where to line up the dogs and he was most accommodating with respect to the video camera coverage. Little did I know judge Green was going to paint a picture so

Westminster Kennel Club Show 2012

vivid that the viewing public could almost see what he was thinking as he put the dogs through their paces. If one dog covered another from the camera angle in sparring, the judge would move it so the camera could record the action and the Terriers would also be playing to the camera. In some of the sparring shots you could see the intensity in their eyes as we were shooting in high definition video. It was by far some of the most extraordinary dog show video I have ever taken thanks to the direction and ring procedure of Judge Peter Green.

The primary reason for using actual experienced dog show folks to shoot the videos is because the story of the judging must be edited in camera by the shooters and produced for the WKC website so the average dog show viewing public can understand the progression up to winning the Best of Breed and other awards. There is no time for studio editing, and what we shoot is what goes up on the website and must follow a progression and make sense to the dog show enthusiast. We record when portions of the entry are excused and when some of the larger entries have made a cut and are due to return to the ring and we make sure they are on video leaving and shown returning to the ring for further examination. Many of the videographers on our team have had experience in producing breed videos without the benefit of an announcer to visually have the camera explain to the viewer what is happening in the ring. In most cases we must edit the judging in the camera down to about 10 minutes as we shoot it for the Westminster website instead of the 20-30 minutes of each breed judging may take in its entirety.

But what, you may ask, has this to do with breeding for the field? Most folks would have never guessed, but in the beginning, Westminster Kennel Club began as a gentlemen’s sporting club with its primary activity being bird hunting with pointing breeds. These originators of the club met in

the Westminster Hotel in the 1870’s. In 1887 this field club for dogs decided to stage a dog show in NY (with benching) to show the public what their field dogs looked like under the auspices of the Westminster Kennel Club. Among the reported 1,201 dog entrants at the first WKC show were the coursing Stag Hounds of General George Custer, and a pair of Deerhounds owned by Queen Victoria and the public flocked to the show, which extended to 4 days to accommodate them.

As word got around New York on the 2nd and 3rd day of the show, the gate attendance was a reported capacity 20,000 spectators each day. For this reason a 4th unplanned day of the show was provided to accommodate the surprising public response.

Prolific author “Stonehenge” was the authority of the day on breed standards and it was expected the judges were to follow his direction on judging and ring procedure at this first “Westminster Kennel Club” show.

Dr. John Henry Walsh, (1810- 1888) a trained surgeon, wrote under the pseudonym of “Stonehenge” and was responsible for writing many of the early breed standards and had more to do with early dog shows, field events, and dog literature than any man living or dead. It seemed Dr. Walsh had a passion for dogs and Stonehenge was more widely known than was Dr. Walsh! Among his many books was “The Greyhound” published in 1853 and in it he describes the Greyhound size in great detail. His survey of the UK coursing dog owners is the bible on coursing in my view and he writes: “The best SIZE of the Greyhound-form is a very difficult question to answer in a satisfactory manner, but I think that most coursers now consider the full sized dog-Greyhound of 70 to 75 lbs. are not so likely to be as successful as the dog of 58-65 lbs.” Stonehenge wrote the first official Greyhound standard and the later accepted AKC standard size calls for bitches 60-65 lbs. and dogs 65-70 lbs and has thankfully not changed.

The correct sized Greyhounds used for coursing hares had to meet the standard with respect to size to be successful in the field. The 85-95 lb Greyhounds in the ring today wouldn’t have a chance in the coursing field. Our Grand Course Greyhound winners in open field coursing in the US for the past 42 years substantiate the size specifications given in the AKC standard.

THE SIBERIAN HUSKY CLUB OF AMERICA’S WORKING DOG PROGRAM

BY SHARON PFLAUMER Consistent with the national club’s effort to preserve the breed as an all around working dog, member breeders produce conformation ring winners with exceptional performance ability.

BASED ON THE BREED’S HISTORY Siberian Huskies were developed by the Chukchi people nearly 2,000 years ago. The semi nomadic tribe of northeastern Siberia used them to haul their belongings as they followed the migration of the reindeer they hunted.

In modern times, Siberians are best known for their lifesaving delivery of antitoxin serum when a diphtheria epidemic threatened the children of Nome during the winter of 1925. Two or more teams of Siberians were among the twenty that made the heroic 658-mile run, some of which was across the perilous ice of Norton Sound. Today, the event is commemorated by the annual running of Iditarod Sled Race which follows some of the same route.

In order to perpetuate the breed’s performance ability as indicated by the above, the Siberian Husky Club of America developed a Working Dog Program. It includes options where titles, trophies and awards are presented to qualifying dogs. Each recognizes and encourages the preservation of the breed as a working dog.

SLED DOG DEGREE PROGRAM The purpose of the SHCA Sled Dog Degree Program is to demonstrate the Siberian’s ability in sled dog racing competition. Three titles may be earned: Sled Dog (SD); Sled Dog Excellent (SDX); and Sled Dog Outstanding (SDO).

The Sled Dog (SD) title is awarded to dogs demonstrating a basic level of sled dog racing proficiency by accumulating 100 miles in not less than five successfully completed races. The Sled Dog Excellent (SDX) title is awarded to dogs, with a SD title, that demonstrate a more advanced level of proficiency by accumulating 150 miles in not less than five successfully completed races. The Sled Dog Outstanding (SDO) title is awarded to dogs, with an SDX title, that demonstrate an outstanding level of proficiency by accumulating 200 miles in not less than five successfully completed races. (All races must be held on snow with sleds, i.e., miles accumulated in dry land races with three- or four-wheeled vehicles are ineligible.)

A “successfully completed race” is based on the times of the fastest three teams with the same number of dogs

WORKING PACK DOG The Siberian Husky Club of America’s Working Pack Dog Program is an opportunity for dogs to accumulate miles during hiking trips and thus earn two titles: Working Pack Dog (WPD) and Working Pack Dog Excellent (WPDX). To earn the WPD title, a dog must travel 40 total miles. To earn the WPDX title, the dog must travel 120 miles in addition to the mileage earned for the WPD title.

running the same trail and distance. (Teams may have between four and an unlimited number of dogs in harness.) Mileage may be accumulated in middle and long distance races or sprint events. Middle distance races range between 60 and 450 miles.

Long distance races range between 500 and 1,100 miles and include the Iditarod and Yukon Quest.

“Sprint races range between four and twenty-five miles in length per heat. One heat is run per day during a two-day weekend event. Teams may have between four and ten dogs depending upon the length of the race; a race not less than ten miles in length is an unlimited number of dogs class. A six-dog team running a six mile course would earn six miles per heat,” says Anne Palmer, a member of the SHCA Board of Directors.

She and her husband, Brian, bred 70 breed champions at their Highlander Kennel in Dexter, MI, since the 1980s but didn’t get involved in the Working Dog program until later. So far, ten of their breed champions also earned sled dog titles.

Because more miles must be earned and run faster than the competition, each progressive sled dog title becomes increasingly more difficult to earn. As a result, a dog may spend the rest of its lifetime earning the SDX title after earning the SD. The SDO, the most advanced title, is awarded rarely and usually only to dogs that completed 1,000-mile races like the Yukon Quest.

In those instances, dogs could earn 1,000 miles in one race if they ran it within a qualifying factor.

WORKING DOG CLASS IN SPECIALTY SHOW The dogs entered in the Sled Dog Classes at the SHCA National Specialty either earned sled dog titles or completed a minimum number of miles during the racing season. The winners of these classes are eligible to compete for Best of Breed.

For example, the Palmers’ national specialty winner, CH Highlander’s Go For Broke, SDX, won Best of Breed from the Sled Dog Classes and received an Award of Merit at his very first national specialty show.

WORKING/SHOWING TROPHY Instituted in the 1960s, it’s awarded annually in recognition of the versatility of the Siberian as a multi-purpose dog and is presented to the person with the team that earned the most points. In addition to sled dog racing, points may be earned in conformation, obedience, rally and agility competitions.

Siberians bred by the Palmers as well as those bred by Wayne Curtis and his wife, Chris, have won the Working/Showing Trophy. At their Stormwatch Kennel in Wasilla, AK, Wayne

HTM REHAB short while ago I was speaking to someone whose dog had been doing freestyle for a while but seemed to have lost her motivation when it came to doing some moves. The first thing which springs into my mind is that the dog needs more varied rewards. The handler had been trying this but the dog was still looking at the handler with a bit of blank expression when asked for another move. This is when I feel the dog needs to go into HTM rehab as it is no use just to keep asking the dog again and again. Often in this situation the handler’s voice can convey urgency and worry that the dog has not performed the move and if the dog is a sensitive soul then this can make the matter worse.

So this gives me a predicament: do I continue on with my normal method or try her with another method to see if that suits her? I often say that my two favourite words when training dogs is to be consistent and persistent. So this means part of me thinks I should stick with the original method and eventually it should twig in her brain. On the other hand by changing the method plus the word that I might put to it could mean she learns the exercise faster. When I am training I often come at things from different points in order to achieve the end goal so perhaps a fresh change of method might be what’s called for. It may just be that she is never going to be a good distance backing dog as I have found over the years that dogs have the moves they enjoy doing and they all have different strengths when it comes to the moves.

When the reverse and the walk back are going well it is only then that I will start to think about teaching the last part of the sequence which is the 180 degree turn. Often I see handlers trying to rush this by using a food lure on the dog’s nose which they turn the dog with, then ask the dog to reverse by putting the treat onto the dog’s chest.

The trouble with this is that it doesn’t teach the dog to do the turn at a distance so it can be another reason why dogs run towards the handler then turn in front of them.

I have always started this with the dog in a sit facing me, then I get the dog to turn making sure the dog turns on the spot where it was sitting before getting it to reverse.

As the dog starts to catch on I then leave the dog in the sit and move a pace away, making sure the dog again turns on the spot and doesn’t come forward. By teaching the dog to turn from the sit I can build up the distance I am away from the dog.

For me the very last part of the sequence is to put it altogether. When I do this I might get the dog walk back and sit at a distance so that I can reward that part. Then having rewarded the dog in the sit I can leave it again at a distance and ask for the turn and reverse. By putting in the sit sometimes it means it can give the dog something to think about rather than throwing itself into the turn.

So as you can see from one sequence there are many things which can go wrong so it’s not surprising that sometimes a dog might need to go into HTM rehab in order to keep the move/sequence flowing smoothly.

If you have any questions about freestyle/HTM please email me via my website www.heelworktomusic.com

Music

When I see reluctance in a dog I find sometimes it is telling the handler that they need to go back to basics. No matter whether it’s obedience, agility or HTM there it always benefits you to go back to basics and break the exercise down. Trying to do the whole sequence in one might be putting too much pressure on the dog so by breaking the sequence down into its component parts it will help the whole sequence.

If we take for instance the move where the dog walks backwards away from the handler then turns 180 degrees and reverses back through the handlers legs, there are at least three parts to this move/sequence. When I start thinking I would like to teach a new dog this move I firstly look to see if I have a good reverse. This is where I sit the dog, then move behind it a good eight feet and ask it to reverse backwards in a straight line ending up going between my legs. I often find that handlers neglect to teach this part of the end sequence and don’t progress the distance that the dog can reverse back. If the dog only does a short reverse, when it is put in the sequence above it will tend to walk backwards then run forwards and turn then reverse right in front of the handler. The trouble with this is that it loses the crowd pleasing appeal of the reverse which always seems to amaze members of the public.

So the distance that the dog can reverse backwards needs to be built up slowly and I also find it’s a good idea to instill a little control here as often the dog will start to reverse when you move behind it.

On one hand the dog anticipating the reverse means that the dog is confident with the move but on the other hand if you don’t reward the wait sometimes then you will never be able to get far enough behind the dog in order to teach it an eight foot reverse.

As this sequence can be broken down into three component parts you can teach some of them alongside each other before putting them all together. The walking back away from the handler is different from the reverse as the dog is facing the handler rather than having its back to the handler.

I know some people give similar commands for the walking back and the reverse but I have always given very different commands for each as to me they are totally different. When I am teaching the reverse I use the command “verse” as it’s shorter and “back” for the dog when it’s backing away facing the handlers.

There are many different methods of teaching a dog to walk backwards away from the handler and I always find that it is a good idea to know several as you never know when the normal method you use might not work with a new dog. I have recently had this situation with my young dog Tikka, with whom I started off using a method which has worked for all my current team of dogs plus many others that I have taught in workshops. Tikka seemed to have grasped it at one stage but now it seems she is not quite understanding it. I have gone back to basics with her and used the method that I have always used but it still doesn’t seem to have improved.

Will Tikka’s sheepdog eye pose a problem for some moves?

BY ALLISON FOLEY I really wanted the title of this article to be “Canadian girls (and a couple of boys) Rock the Garden!!” From hotly contested breed competitions, to group wins and placements to the gorgeous silhouette of Ms. Betty Regina Leininger as she took charge of the working group, Canadians were alive and well at this year’s Westminster. Perhaps the only place they were missing was from the judging panel as there were no foreigners on this year’s slate, but that is another story.

L

TRUE NORTH (STRONG AND FREE)

et’s start at the breed level; I can’t remember a Garden when Canadian Girls had it so good! I hate to say it but the wave actually started Monday morning as yours truly, Allison Foley, showing Ch Vetset Kate Winsit, won a very competitive Standard Poodle variety under Poodle authority Mrs. Doris Cozart. Kate is owned by Canadian Dr. Elly Holowaychuk. The wave continued in the breeds as Ann Phillips made Westminster history as she piloted the first ever Cesky Terrier breed winner Ch Zlatapraha Brubeck to this honour.

Marlene Ness of Brantford, Ontario went Best of breed with Ch Mario n Beechwood’s Midnight Express, this win over the top dog in the US in 2011.

The gorgeous Emily Dorma won a large entry of Havanese with her homebred Ch Mistytrail’s Double Stuf’d Oreo. Canadian boys who also made their mark at the breed level included Graeme Burdon who won 2 breeds, on the Golden Retriever Ch Sweetlea’s Follow Me and the American Eskimo dog Ch Nuuktok’s Atka Inukshuk. Will Alexander won Gordon Setters on Ch Sastya’s Twelfth Night By NCM. Rounding out the boys winning at the breed level was Celso Mollo as he piloted Lindy Barrow’s Westie Ch Skyehigh’s MKC Boneparte to this win.

At the group level Canadian girls continued to shine as Canadian export Jody Paquette went group fourth with her Standard Schnauzer Ch Pepper Tree Zorro V Morgenwald. Another Canadian girl placed second in the working group, the boxer “Scarlett”, Ch Winfall Brookwood Styled Dream. The herding group was really where Canadian girls took over as 3 of the 4 group placements were from the True North.

Placing second in group was Elaine Paquette with her homebred Bouvier Ch Quiche’s Grand Finale, whose mother was top dog all breeds here in 2003. Placing group third was the lovely Jennifer McClintock with the OES Ch Bugaboo’s Big Shot. Rounding out the group placements was Tracy Tuft and her homebred Sheltie Ch Mystic’s Ava Gardner.

CHICAGO’S INTERNATIONAL, THE SHOW SUPER ASSOCIATION...

I am told by most everyone to whom I have spoken that Chicago’s International show last week was a great success notwithstanding the decline in entries prompted perhaps by its use of an electronic entry system instead of the paper entry system everyone has used for years now.

No doubt a money saving effort, which may have resulted in a wash out situation. One must now ask whether or not the monies alleged to have been saved were worth the loss of the entry monies and attendant monies spent by those exhibitors at the show or would IKC have been better off financially by retaining the status quo insofar as entries were concerned. Furthermore is the Fancy ready to accept the concept of these kinds of entries? Many shows I know of which have been offered this opportunity by at least MB-F declined the offer and stuck to the old system despite the added costs. I must admit however that I know of no clubs which have accepted this offer but I am not privy to every situation nor am I asking to be. I am just relating that which I know as fact in this particular area.

Certainly if the initial uproar to THE GAZETTE going electronic and the reaction to the loss of the paper Calendar of Events is any lasting example and is equitable to being compared to the paper entry situation the Fancy right now is not ready for these kinds of revolutionary changes. Sort of like outsourcing AKC work to the show supers.

Mr. Ashby—explain that one in advance please but more on the Show Supers to come in this article—back to International.

Having moved to a new Hall this year IKC, I am told upgraded its venue as there was great natural light and even spectacular views of Lake Michigan. Rings were spacious with a more than acceptable food court and spectators jammed the place, which I am sure made the Auslander family and Sue Olsen happy as it should all dog breeders and exhibitors. (As yet another aside IKC is one of the few grandfathered for profit clubs left in the AKC and I cannot help but notice how the success of these type clubs particularly in large cities seems to counter those shows in equally large cities which are privately run and having problems making a go of it-I particularly refer to Eastern and perhaps even Philadelphia, which is in a different category but still having at least venue problems. Would they as for profits have more incentive to make money and be forced to take dramatic action??) Of course the success of IKC spectator ways is just further proof

68 Dog News

of how meaningful dogs are to the American public and AKC registered dogs at that. And of particular impact was this attendance to the continuing life of our sport as it was held on the weekend and eve of the ill-conceived BBC reintroduction of the publicity seeking Jemima Harrison PDE II shown in the UK. What a bunch of crock is it for the BBC and the national press over there to keep on calling her attempts at 15 minutes of fame a documentary film.

It is purely an attempt to distort facts and make incendiary and oft times exaggerated and shocking claims which are generalizations with little factual back-up. This time its target was the Pug for one and to shotgun the entire breed on the basis of a breeder and a vet who treats puppy mill product as compared to get from the concerned breed. This is a disservice to anyone connected with our sport/ hobby. IKC was dominated in its bests by the GWP from the mid-west, a bichon from there as well and then a new ginger wire bitch from the West Coast. Overall I heard it was a great weekend and I was sorry to have to miss it but hope to be there next year and share and spend some time with Lou, et al.

Last week’s DOG NEWS contained a copy of a letter the Dog Show Superintendents Organization sent to all Delegates about the proposed Reassignment of Groups proposal and an answer from the Committee. And I must say the DOG NEWS heading “A Difference of Opinion” was in my opinion an absolutely incorrect phraseology to have been used in describing these differences. I was out of town and did not see the headline with which to begin but certainly saw the two letters and asked for them to be included in the issue. Forget about whether or not there should be Group Re-alignment and how to implement it, which goes to the heart of the two letters. The first thing to come to my mind is whether or not the Dog Show Superintendents are in a philosophical and legal position as a licensed agency of the AKC to write Delegates directly and

to take positions on matters which affect the sport generally. This is not the first time this group has done this and I questioned their actions before and now not only question them again but believe it is time to limit its participation as makers of policy for AKC. Certainly they have a right to question Board and Delegate decisions as does anyone in the sport but they are in a very unique position. They are licensed agents of AKC, which even judges are not!

Their very existence is determined by AKC-if they do not agree with something they should be able to go to the Board and say so but should they have the power to go to the Delegates and ask them ON ANY QUESTION to override what Board is considering--I think not. It’s as though one is at a show and a show super were to question and attempt to decide an AKC rule or a judge’s decision--this is the job of the judge or the field rep--not the show super. Gone are the days when Mr. Foley ruled supreme and AKC acted reverentially towards the Organization. Rules and regulations are determined by AKC and its official organs not the show supers. Further reason to resist the Carl Ashby attempts at outsourcing to show supers as a money saving device, which in effect would do little but increase the already questionable power plays of these organizations in running the sport from which they make a very nice living. The show super is an employee of each club licensed by AKC to so act-that is where its power is and must remain. It is not an organization meant to influence nor counteract AKC decisions except on a very limited directed basis.

I would be remiss not to welcome back Sari Tietjen, who had a long and serious health battle. We look forward to her articles for years to come. On a sad note is of course the passing of the beloved, in many quarters, of Everett Dean. As popular and able an individual our sport has known, Pat Trotter’s tribute in this issue sums up all of our feelings and emotions more meaningfully than anything I could ever write. He shall be missed that’s for sure!

NEW HOPE FOR THE ORPHAN JUDGES

BY PATRICIA GAIL BURNHAM

W

hen my article on Orphan Judges appeared in Dog News I was amazed at the response. More people contacted me over that article then for anything that I have ever written other than the TRAD articles. Lots of other judges in my situation emailed and called me. I had no idea that I had that much company. (What I call orphan judges are those judges who were locked into the pre 2003 judges’ approval system in which you could only apply for as many breeds as you already had. For folks like breeders who started out with a single breed this made the process of getting approved for more breeds move at glacial speed and glaciers aren’t very fast. Of the more than 4,000 breed judges more than half of them are approved for fewer than 5 breeds. Either these folks only want to judge one or two breeds, or they have been stymied by the approval process and orphan judges are majority of all judges.)

Some of the readers’ stories made my experiences with judging approval look good.

But when I asked folks if we could run their stories, they were horrified. They were afraid of irritating the judging approval staff. From what they said had been done to them, I thought that the staff was already as annoyed with them as it could get.

I am not, by the way, saying that the AKC is routinely unhelpful. I have received great help from both Dennis Sprung and Ken Marden in untangling AKC staff difficulties. But it would be nice if we didn’t have to appeal to higher authorities to resolve problems. When I worked for the army I used to say that if you went up the chain of command you would eventually reach a reasonable person who could solve problems. Generals were great at it.

The AKC can be fast if it wants to be. After an uproar about comments on the proposed new judging approval process a few months ago, they approved it to take effect on March 1, 2012. For the AKC, that is moving at light speed.

The AKC says that the new process “will introduce and infuse, if you will, a significantly higher level of expertise in the judging process at all AKC shows. “ This seems to imply that the AKC thinks that we need a higher level of expertise in the judging process. What we actually need is a higher level of expertise and transparency in the judging approval process. I am sure there are more complaints about the judging approval process than there are about the actual judging.

Yes, losers are never happy but, for as long as there are judges, losers are not going to be happy. The best you can ask for is that they be gracious and they are usually that if they can figure out what the judge is looking for. Some people prefer judges who reward TRAD-Tremendous Reach and Drive. I prefer judges who reward absolute soundness and standard size dogs. When a new provisional judge turns up on a panel we show to her to see what she is looking for. We are testing to see if she is a keeper or if she is one of those judges that we won’t show again to if they were judging the last dog show on the planet. Judges that value the qualities we value and breed for are keepers. The others aren’t. Nothing the AKC does about the approval process is going to change that.

I have always said that you can control who wins at a specialty by controlling the choice of judges. That is why specialty judge elections are so hotly contested and heavily lobbied for. Different judges will reward different dogs. When the AKC talks about having reps evaluate how well the judge makes his choices I cringe. What if it is a TRAD loving rep evaluating a soundness caring judge? Or vice versa?

All but one of the reps who have evaluated me while judging Whippets wanted to talk about the dogs that I put up. The other rep gave me some excellent advice about how to handle an awkward ring situation that had occurred. I value her advice and will put it to good use. But the advice about the dogs that I put up hasn’t impressed me.

In all fairness, the reps’ job is impossible. They are tasked with evaluating the judging of many different breeds in a given day. If they knew the standards of 167 breeds by heart they would be all-breed judges, instead of reps. But the truth is that a well prepared provisional (Oops, now “permit”) judge should know that breed’s standard better than the rep does. That causes me to bite my tongue a lot and eventually shut up when being advised on my choice of winners. It is never a good idea to tell a rep that you disagree with them. The truth is that different judges have different priorities and there is a judge for nearly every type of dog. If the AKC thinks there is one correct dog that should win every time, then we are in big trouble. Dog shows have always been about different dogs winning on different days under different judges.

It is encouraging that the AKC says “This enhanced application process will focus on appreciation for canine knowledge CONTINUED ON PAGE 148

An old shaggy (hunting) dog story hen anyone tells the story of the origin of one of the oldest gun dog breeds in existence, the Spinone Italiano, it doesn’t take long for the exercise to begin to sound like a shaggy dog story. In other words, an extremely long-winded tale featuring extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents. The background of the Spinone quite frankly sounds like the sort of yarn you’d tell around a campfire.

Depending upon who you ask, the Spinone originated in Italy, France, Spain, Russia, Greece or even Celtic Ireland. Some claim the breed descended from the nowextinct Spanish Pointer while others say it is the ancient Russian Setter that was responsible for the breed.

Another theory had Greek traders bringing course-haired setters to Italy during the Roman Empire and these dogs were then crossed with various others until

the modern Spinone emerged.

British writers contend that the Celts were responsible for developing the breed citing the fact that the Celts were famous for their coarse-haired running dogs and that coarse-haired hunting dogs are found wherever the Celts settled from northern Spain to the British Isles. The French claim that the breed descends from crosses of several French pointing breeds but the Italians say the Spinone was the ancestor of the Wirehaired Pointing Griffon, the German Wirehaired Pointer and the Pudelpointer.

Whatever the true story of the breed’s origins, like the rest of the continental breeds, the Spinone became an all-purpose hunter that retrieves waterfowl, points upland birds and tracks fur-bearing small game. If the Pointer and the Labrador are Ferraris, with all flash and speed of that sports car, the Spinone would be a World War II jeep, that wonderful little vehicle that did just about everything

which General George C. Marshall, U.S. Army Chief of Staff during the war, called “America’s greatest contribution to modern warfare.”

The breed’s ability to track was particularly useful to Italian guerrillas fighting the Fascist armies of Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler in WWII. The dogs were used to track German patrols by scenting the soldiers’ boot polish. They were typically used by the Italian Resistance to work mountainsides and wooded areas looking for soldiers who had dug in. Both the Resistance members and their dogs paid a heavy price for their actions as hundreds of thousands of partisans were killed or died in concentration camps and by the end of the war, the Spinone was nearly extinct. Following the war, many breeders had to resort to crossing the Spinone with other wirehaired sporting breeds in order to save it. What emerged from the chaos of World War II was a very versatile dog.

“If they have the basics, a Spinone can do almost anything,” said Diana Cannon, who has owned several Spinoni with multiple titles. “They are ‘versatile’ in every sense of the word. They hunt, track, do all levels of obedience and rally, compete in agility and many have the perfect temperament to do various types of dog therapy work.

awaii looks like paradise but may not feel it for dog breeders in the near future. At this issue of Dog News went to press, dog breeders in Hawaii were awaiting the outcome of a hearing of the Hawaii Senate Committee on Judiciary and Labor on Senate Bill 2494. Though many on the mainland may not think the bill has anything to do with us, it’s certainly worth noting and paying attention to, lest similar laws sprout up in our own home states.

SB 2494 defines anyone who owns ten or more intact dogs as a “dog breeder”, regardless of the number of litters or dogs produced and sold. Should the owner of ten intact dogs never produce a single puppy, that owner would still be considered a breeder under the provision. Granted, the addition of frozen semen could make the owner of ten intact bitches a potential dog breeder, but it would require some trick for the owner of ten intact male dogs to become a breeder. May as well add the title of magician to that breeder/owner. By accepting such definitions, these magicians/breeders/owners would be opening themselves up to unannounced inspections of their private homes under provisions in SB 2494 that could allow for the seizure and impoundment of dogs based on infractions that are unrelated to the humane care of dogs. Under the proposal they would also have to fork over at least $500 for a biennial license fee and possibly much more, as the bill allows for counties to set their own fees.

SB 2494 doesn’t stop there. Other provisions prohibit the ownership of more than 30 intact dogs over the age of one year, prohibit the breeding of a dog or bitch older than eight years of age, prohibit microchipping dogs under four months of age, and prohibits the breeding of any dog determined by a veterinarian to be “unfit for breeding purposes” though it doesn’t define what would constitute such conditions. For good measure, the bill also places specified care requirements on owners of ten or more intact dogs over the age of six months, places indoor and outdoor exercise requirements for all dogs, minimum enclosure requirements on all dogs, and regulations on where and with whom puppies can be placed, which could inhibit the proper socialization of puppies.

Offthe

No one in his or her right mind wants to see dogs being kept in cramped quarters or confined to inappropriate areas under lackadaisical supervision. Nor does anyone condone animal cruelty of any sort, which shouldn’t be tolerated. But SB 2494 goes above and beyond reasonable legislation. It’s arbitrarily arrived at thresholds are downright burdensome and would be largely ineffective in achieving its presumed goals. When reading the measure, one may surmise that an anti-dog breeding and owning faction decided to throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. Hawaii’s responsible breeders and owners should have none of it. Such an all out blitz on breeders and owners seems like a ruse to come to some sort of compromise, with the hopes that if breeders are vocally adamant about the number of intact dogs being kept then maybe they’ll cave on the hefty licensing fee or buckle under the weight of those burdensome requirements.

Here’s hoping that Hawaiian lawmakers heard an earful from the responsible owners and breeders who were targeted by an unnecessary and overreaching piece of legislation and decided to pull the plug on it in its entirety.

News hasn’t been much better on the mainland as far as anti-dog breeding legislation is concerned. It was announced late last week that the West Virginia Senate has passed Senate Bill 406, which will impose serious restrictions on those who own 11 or more intact dogs. Supposedly targeting commercial breeders, it included some exemptions, but it’s believed that the bill would impact hobby breeders as well. SB 406 has been assigned to the House Judiciary Committee and there are only a few days left in the West Virginia legislative session, so time is of the essence. All responsible breeders and owners in WV are urged to contact the members of the House Judiciary Committee and State Delegates ASAP! (For a complete list of representatives, as well as a sample letter drafted by the American Kennel Club’s Government Relations Department for fanciers

to personalize, log on to: http://www.akc.org/news/index. cfm?article_id=4587). Ask them to strike down SB 406 as currently written.

As bad as these bills may seem, breeders in Iowa may not have much sympathy for the cries of discrimination emanating out of West Virginia or Hawaii. That’s because Iowans are up against not one but two bills (Senate File 2073 and Senate Study Bill 3159) in the Iowa Senate that would impose detrimental requirements on those who are classified as “commercial breeders”. The Iowa definition of a “commercial breeder”? Anyone who owns at least four intact dogs or cats and receives any consideration for breeding.

Yes, you read that correctly. If you own four intact dogs and receive any kind of “consideration” for breeding, you are a commercial breeder in the state of Iowa and must be licensed, inspected and in compliance with commercial breeder laws. Even more outlandish is that the term “consideration” isn’t defined. What are defined in Senate File 2073 are guidelines for what a commercial breeder licensee must do when a license if expired or revoked: if unable or unwilling to obtain a new license, the owner has 45 days to either sterilize their dogs or dispose of them until they are under the commercial breeder threshold. The bill states that this may be accomplished by selling the dogs (should the breeder be able to obtain a temporary authorization), transferring the titles or by “humane destruction”.

Yes, the calendar does read 2012, but by reading such Draconian measures one has difficulty believing it. All responsible owners — indeed, all reasonable human beings!

— are urged to contact the state senators of Iowa to enlighten them that such radical measures and methods aimed at forcing dog owners to sterilize or euthanize their beloved companions must not be allowed to become law. If simple common sense cannot prevail, perhaps fanciers can take a page from the AKC, which drafted a letter to the Members of the Iowa State Senators to inform them that dog breeders, owners and shows account for an estimated $15.6 million in revenue for local Iowa communities in dog-related expenses.

Money is a language legislators usually understand. (For a list of state senators’ contact information, visit http://www.congress.org/congressorg/officials/congress/).

Senate Study Bill 3159 further aims to put breeders out of business and drive them out of the state of Iowa. It would require all commercial dog breeder licensees to obtain a surety bond or an irrevocable letter of credit from a financial institution that would be used if an animal is placed with a custodian as a result of a violation of the state’s animal cruelty or neglect laws. In this country, we’re presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law so why is such a provision necessary if not part of a larger AR extremist agenda of ‘sterilize and euthanize’?

We’re also allowed access to a fair trial in this country, but Iowa’s SSB 3159 removes the ability of a person seeking a license to have a public hearing if their application for commercial breeder authorization if denied. Those who are denied a license must then never receive any consideration for breeding a dog, or ensure that they have three or fewer intact dogs. Come on, Iowans, the future of dog breeding is at stake in your state. To protect your rights to own and breed canine companions, contact members of the Senate Commerce Committee immediately!

INSIDE THE SPORT

“A VERY SAD FEBRUARY” CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18

ing up every word they uttered and in total awe of my heroes! A lot of us teenagers had a colossal crush on such gifted handlers who so graciously shared their wisdom in those days when handlers were knowledgeable dog people licensed by the American Kennel Club.

As expected by all who knew him as a handler, Everett’s judging career was to become equally as successful as his abbreviated handling career and endure decades longer, allowing him to contribute so much to the sport he loved. A judge of the Sporting, Hound, Working, Toy and Non-Sporting groups, his career as an evaluator involved judging multiple national specialties, elite dog shows all over and his beloved American Spaniel Club Specialty on numerous occasions. In addition to the several groups he judged at Westminster, in 2002 he had the supreme honor of judging BIS and selected the Miniature Poodle Ch. Surrey Spice Girl as his winner.

Everett’s other longtime career with the railroad provided him another frame of reference that he brought to the world around him. Upon his retirement some years ago, he reflected that it might be best to have a few other interests in one’s life other than dogs.

And so he did. A man of great culture, Everett enjoyed many activities in his hometown of Richmond, VA that brought new perspectives to his well-rounded outlook on the world around him. He never ceased to be intellectually curious and interested in a wide variety of subjects and his wit and charm were legendary. His do-good deeds and habits of being there for anyone in need whether it be an elderly lady needing help with her luggage or a child needing a hand up signified the Southern gentleman at his best. Everett was the rarest of God’s creatures, a role model like no other. His memory will stay close to our hearts.

The loss of my brother-Roderick Dhu Vincent Jr.-just a few days earlier has made this February a terribly sad time for this writer.

Although no one in dogs knew him except for our childhood dog friends, my brother Rod had one of the keenest eyes for a Norwegian Elkhound of anyone in my life. Whenever he visited he could immediately pick out a promising puppy and his eye always went to the best dog in the place. When he lived in the Bay Area I would sometimes go to his house and we would exercise the dog I was showing at

82 Dog News

the time before he drove me to the airport. His comments about the strengths of the dog such as “what a great head”, or “love the short back” or whatever he liked about the dog would always come before any criticism and always be on target.

When he was 11 and I was 13, we were gifted a 20-hour old runt Elkhound puppy from a hunting bitch’s too large litter. It was thought survival chances were slim, but since school was out my mother agreed we could give it a try. Perhaps she recognized it would keep us out of trouble for a while, because we had to feed it every two hours for two weeks before we got its weight up to one pound! This was done at first with a small doll baby bottle that fed a latex doll that would wet, thus giving children the concept of caring for a baby. In time we could increase the time between feedings and use a regular baby bottle. I still remember my mother preparing the formula. And now the Elkhound would join the Cockers in our home.

Soon the puppy was old enough to go to its first puppy match staged by the Langley Kennel Club on the lawns of the Chamberlin Hotel at historic Fort Monroe in Hampton, VA. In those days there were no tunnels into Norfolk, so my parents took us to the ferry where we could walk on with the puppy.

They supplied us with lunch, money for the trips and to call home collect when we left the show so they could be waiting at the ferry for us upon our return.

Since the ferry docked within walking distance of the hotel, all went well. “Candy” won BOB (she was the only elkhound) and 4th in the Hound Group (out of four hounds) and we were on top of the worldour puppy won ribbons we could proudly display.

Truly, it was an age of innocence for what thinking parent would allow their kids to undertake such an experience today? No longer are things we took for granted when we were young considered safe in today’s world.

My brother didn’t pursue the sport of dogs and last went to a dog show in the late 1950s, but he never lost his appreciation of a good one and his love of the breed. He was a devoted family man and courtly like other Virginia gentlemen of the era, a beloved brother whose loss has wounded me greatly. The strength, courage and dignity my brother showed during the more than two years of his terminal illness were inspiring and served to emphasize my love for him. To lose him and Everett from the same deadly disease in such a short time frame is a tremendous hurt. They say time heals all wounds so we shall see. I feel blessed to have had them both in my life.

proached by David after he had judged a breed club show here and greatly admired their stock, felt that they had a dog puppy that would suit him. The Palacegardens have done remarkably well in the breed and Malachy’s pedigree will gladden the heart of those of us who still believe that line-breeding is the key to maintaining type and quality. His untitled parents are sired

by Palacegarden full brothers, Ch Donovan and Ch Sullivan. His grand-dams are both daughters of that incredible sire Ch Livanda Santana.

The bitches to whom Santana was mated were daughters of Ch Yakee A Dangerous Liaison, the Crufts BIS winning Danny, and Ch Livanda Micklee Ginola, who is also the sire of Santana. Malachy’s maternal grand-dam has only one great grandsire as Ch Livanda Micklee Mataho takes up that position all four times in her pedigree.

In the fourth generation of Malachy’s pedigree appear further top winning Pekingese males, Ch Delwin’s Paddy O’Reilly and Ch Shihgo Idle Gossip in addition to Danny and Ginola. For sure Malachy is bred to breed on and hopefully he will have his chance to honeymoon handsomely now that he is retired from the show ring.

Days after the show The New York Times carried a story which covered the tradition of the winner of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show each year having lunch at Sardi’s. The article pointed out that each year this age-old tradition broke the local health department’s rules which outlaw animals in restaurants ... even celebrity Best in Show winners.

As has been the custom for years, on Wednesday afternoon Malachy dined on chicken and rice at the famous eatery. Evidently the health department’s initial position was that Malachy’s meal would be the last enjoyed by any prize-winning dog at Sardi’s.

That possibility prompted, among other things, a conversation between Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and his health commissioner, Dr. Thomas A. Farley and by Thursday morning, the health department had found a loophole that it hoped would defuse the dog-in-a-restaurant issue: a waiver from Dr. Farley.

“Whoever wins will get an exemption,” Mr. Bloomberg told reporters. Referring to Dr. Farley, he added, “He feels strongly, and I certainly support him, having dogs in restaurants and other pets is generally not sanitary and should not be done.”

David Frei, speaking for the Westminster Kennel Club, said he was pleased that the tradition would continue. He credited Howard Atlee, a longtime Broadway press agent who was the president of the New York Dog Fanciers’ Club in the late 1960s, with coming up with the idea of taking the winning dog to Sardi’s.

Malachy rode in a private elevator that opened on the second floor of the restaurant, which was off-limits to the matinee crowd downstairs.

86 Dog News

V. Max Klimavicius, the president of Sardi’s, said he looked forward to welcoming next year’s winner, assuming permission is granted. It is refreshing to see rules being relaxed on special occasions and a little common sense prevailing.

Looking back on the show, one of the highlights for me was seeing Betty Regina Leininger judge the Working group. Never before have I seen such an elegantly coutured lady handle a ring with such composure and style, having great empathy with both dogs and handlers, and simply gliding along the line before selecting an impressive cut and eventually putting up a Dobermann that was as elegant and postured as the lady herself. Although thought of as an American, Betty was actually born in Newfoundland.

Upholding the British tradition of producing top terriers, it was good to see Chelsey the Kerry Blue topping her group with her handler Bill McFadden again proving that he is a master of his art. Phil Davies was over in New York and I am sure would have managed to sink a pint or two afterwards at the Blarney Rock!

Much as I always enjoy my good friend David Frei’s commentaries, I wondered why the fact that several big winning and tipped dogs got beaten in their breeds should warrant the judging being described as “upsets”. Personally I would have thought that there was cause for celebration that some judges still walk into the ring and put up the dogs they think are the best on the day, regardless of form, advertising or ownership. Certainly in two of the breeds concerned I felt that the winners were more than worthy of their awards.

Next year the breed judging is to take place out at the Piers, a move that is seemingly unavoidable but I can’t help feeling that the atmosphere there will be nothing like that experienced at the mighty Madison Square Garden.

Whilst not talking specifically about some of the dogs seen in the group rings at Westminster, as the same trend occurs to me in many advertisements of top winning dogs in various countries, I find my eye becoming more and more jarred when I see dogs that clearly have incorrect front assemblies. In breeds that should have a decent length of upper arm, coupled with a well laid back shoulder and a vestige of forechest, so many dogs these days seem to be completely straight through the front due to short upper arms and upright shoulders. Consequently their forelegs appear to be “tacked on” at the front, masking any suggestion of forechest, rather than being placed well under the dog where they should be supporting the torso. Obviously some owners must think this is acceptable when they happily publish photographs that clearly illustrate this structural failing that is often accompanied by grossly over-angulated rears, thus increasing the weakness in general conformation.

By the same token, why do some owners proudly advertise dogs by using head studies of dogs that have, to put it politely, less than classical heads and expressions?

WESTMINSTER: 136 YEARS OLD...

The Westminster committee has to be congratulated on making the show run as smoothly as it did.

The club went to all efforts than were humanly possible to make things as easy as possible. Dog people are a pretty resilient bunch and figured they could survive one year of great inconvenience. Most people figured next year everything would go back to being the norm they suffered and grew used to for the last forty years.

S

unday night when it was announced next year breed judging would take place over at the Piers, it again started all kinds of panic. There is some kind of saying – be careful what you wish for because you might get it. For years many people have suggested this concept of having breed judging somewhere else, like at the Javits Center and groups in the Garden. This move right now is the only choice and thank God the Pier is available. For the exhibitor with one dog, it will not be that difficult, but for the handlers with a large string it will be. I am sure Westminster has done a great deal of planning already and has all year to work on resolving difficulties that might arise. I do not know of any other club that can be thrown so many curve balls and can counteract diversities.

There are always pluses and minuses that come with moving locations and this will be no different. For years people have said the Garden has not been the same without class dogs. By moving to the Pier this enables them to offer class dogs to compete. It was always a great tradition to finish or start a dog at Westminster. Terriers generally started at Montgomery and aimed to finish at the Garden. Poodles started at the Garden and hoped to finish at Poodle Club of America.

I am sure already people are dreaming of winning the breed at the Garden next year with a class dog. The odds are certainly against it, but there is a possibility a class dog could go BIS next year. That would be one for the modern history of the sport. The majority of class animals will come from the local area since they can drive in for the day with their owners. Very few class animals will come from the West Coast with handlers, since it is so expensive. As one handler said, “How many people will be willing to spend $1,500 to show a class dog?” Having classes might open the door for more foreign dogs to be shown, but if there will be a point requirement this would eliminate the majority of them.

Westminster is the second oldest continuing Sporting Event in America, only one year younger than the Kentucky Derby. Great traditions have built up over the last 136 years.

The tradition that leads so much to the tension in the air is the factor of the top winning dogs getting beat at the breed level. It certainly was not newsworthy when “Malachy”, “Joey”, the Aff, “Scarlett”, the Boxer, “Fifi”, the Dobe, “Cap” the Shepherd, etc. etc. won their breeds. With the age of technology the entire world instantly knew when the top winners lost the breed. This year cell phones were ringing off the wall with calls, text messages, emails from every corner of the globe.

Of the top eight dogs in America for 2011, four of them or half did not get out of the breed, plus the top Terrier in the country. This proves that judges are not just judging by records. Between “Beckham”, the Cocker, “Qing”, the Pharaoh, “Ally” and “London”, the Standard Poodles and “Eira” the Wire Fox, these dogs had amassed astonishing records. Collectively last year they had accounted for over 200 Bests, 524 Group firsts and over a quarter of a million points. 254,070 dogs had been defeated by these five great dogs. So no one can understand it, but it made worldwide news within the sport. In the big scheme it does not change the records or opinions of these dogs. In a way it only adds to their fame, some people will remember their losses. For a long time people will remember watching the battle between “Ally” and “London” together in the Poodle ring and it did get people to notice a couple of newcomers to the scene. There were only two Wire Fox Terriers, since most people felt it was a given for “Eira” to win. This certainly proved the point that anything is possible at dog shows. Sometimes in the “Rat Race” we forget that the purpose of a dog show is to evaluate breeding stock. “Eira”, the Wire Fox, retired on a loss, but came into season just days later. Hopefully her worth in the whelping box will be more important to the breed than her great record. Her sire is “Galsul Excellence” who is still considered to be one of the all time great dogs. Her dam “Ironhills Jitterbug”, a huge winner, is considered to be one of our best recent Wires. There is a Wire that has done tremendous winning all over Europe and most experts consider him to be the best male since Excellence.

By the time one is reading this “Eira” will have been bred to this dog. Those puppies will have a big reputation to live up to. Whether or not any of them become great winners they have to be a great addition to the Wire Fox gene pool. All of them will be worth their weight in gold. Happy to say our BIS winner “Malachy” has already produced some beautiful Peke puppies, and now will have more time to be a stud. The winners and losers at this year’s Garden will not change the breeding programs of any serious breeders.

One of the major changes that have taken place recently is the social scene. It used to be there were more parties than one could attend, either private or corporate sponsored. A lot of people used to come to New York starting on WednesCONTINUED ON PAGE 94

day just for the parties and return home Monday morning to watch the show on TV. Even within the show itself very few people still have skyboxes to entertain their friends. The economy certainly has played a huge role on the social scene. Janet York had a book signing party Wednesday. Due to predicted snow and packing for moving into the city for a week I could not attend. Heard it was a lovely event and Janet always hosts such fun filled parties.

Toni and Martin Sosnoff held their annual cocktail party Friday before the Theater Party. The Sosnoff party has long been the highlight of the social scene to kick off a great weekend. The Bow-Tie dinner Saturday is the largest social gathering of the weekend and they have to be congratulated on doing a dinner of this size and still doing it “par excellence”.

T

hursday, my first evening in the city, Abbe Shaw hosted a small dinner party at Fresco by Scotto. Being it is one of my favorite places to dine and the guests were my favorite people in dogs made for such an enjoyable evening. Patricia Shaw and Jodi Longmire entertained some friends for dinner Friday at Smith and Wollensky to celebrate the success of their new Frenchie. Each recent win was toasted and I was full by the time my fillet arrived. Sunday Purina Pro Plan held its annual dinner to honor the members of their breeders program.

I have never attended, but it is always a fun filled evening from all reports. The Santa Barbara/Purina Pro Plan “Breeders Showcase” hosted a get together Sunday evening. A good time was had with so many breeders from around the world in attendance. Monday, Tom and Amy Grabe, along with Ron Scott and Debbie Burke, had a small dinner for the backbone of the sport. Tuesday evening it was back to Fresco

by Scotto as Victor Malzoni entertained some of his American friends. A lot of people because of not wanting to venture off far dined at Niles, part of the Affinia Hotel. Niles offers very good food and the hotel guests are offered a discount at dinner time. This is a great place to sneak off to for lunch during the show and also while the specialties are going on at the Penn. The entire staff at the Affinia is a pleasure to work with. I’ve rarely stayed anywhere that so many people are so willing to help everyone and do everything to make your stay great – all the people, as well as all the dogs and crates and everything else has to make the week challenging and tiring for the entire staff, but they are always there to help with a smile, which is greatly appreciate by all.

The winners of Westminster are old news, but this year’s winner has to be congratulated for so many reasons. It was 25 years ago David Fitzpatrick won his first group with the Peke, Ch Briarcourts Coral Gable. David had already had a long background in the breed and continued for this quarter of a century to advance the breed to great levels. This was his fifth group win at the Garden. He campaigned Ch. Yakee If Only to the #2 spot in 2003 and #1 All breed in 2004 for a total of over 129 BIS. “Malachy” has close to that many Bests. David will not be remembered for all the records he has set, but by how he “played the game”. Being involved in the sport for over 50 years, I have never known a handler that was more loved and respected than David. This had to

94 Dog News

be the most popular win ever at Westminster from a personal standpoint. Everyone said no one has ever deserved it more than David. David and “Malachy” had a great support team by the owners. Iris Love has been loved by the entire sport for so many years. She has given so much to pure bred dogs and has given in so many ways. Sandra and Buster Middlebrooks have only been in the sport about a decade. Seems like only yesterday I awarded their first Border Terrier their first group win.

The team of David, Iris and the Middlebrooks deserve so much credit.

Within all the excitement that revolves around the winning dogs we tend to forget about the breeders of these dogs.

“Malachy” was bred in England by the “Palacegarden” kennel of Jim and Jean Smith. David had been judging in England and they exhibited several winning dogs to him, but it was a very young pup of theirs that he felt showed great promise. They were kind enough to let David acquire this pup without going into debt. They have to be congratulated in letting “Malachy” go to the person who could take him to great heights.

It has to be noted that Connie Wagner of “Spotlights” Dalmatians is the breeder of “Ruffian”, this year’s Non Sporting winner. This was the third time since 1996 that Connie and Spotlights has captured the group at the Garden. It shows that a dedicated small time breeder can achieve great success.

It would be interesting to see how many very active people within the sport could name the breeders of the seven group winners. Carlos Navarro, of Mexico, is known around the world as a highly respected judge and yet many people do not realize he is the breeder of the Herding group winner this year.

This was a landmark year for Westminster with Purina Pro Plan becoming the official sponsor. The entire world of purebred dogs has to be thankful that Westminster and Purina Pro Plan were able to join forces to present pure bred dogs in the very best light possible. Due to a longtime contract with Pedigree, Westminster was saddled with a sponsor who has become so detrimental to the sport. Pedigree is a huge money maker for the Mars corporation. Not only should purebred dog lovers boycott Pedigree, but should try to avoid buying any Mars products. Just think for every “Milky Way” consumed it is detrimental to every breeder. Hopefully the dog press worldwide will publish a list of Mars products. It is just as easy to grab a candy bar made by Nestle, which in turn promotes breeders.

The Westminster Kennel Club and the very hard working committee has to be thanked and congratulated for putting on a show which succeeds no matter what difficulties they get confronted with. All of the exhibitors and handlers have to be thanked for their efforts in presenting such wonderful dogs for the entire world to admire.

ancient kingdoms of Armenia, Albania, Colchis and Iberia were under the power of the “king of kings” Tigranes (the last strong Hellenist king), becoming the most powerful empire at the region. In XII century Georgian king David the Builder won over the Muslims and banished them out from Caucasus, making the Kingdom of Georgia the strongest Christian state in the whole Near East area.

The region has been an arena for political, military, religious, and cultural rivalries and expansionism for centuries.

Throughout its history, the Caucasus was incorporated into the Iranian world. At the beginning of the 19th century, the Russian Empire conquered the territory from the Qajars (a Turk tribe that held ancestral lands in present-day Azerbaijan, then part of Iran).

In modern times, the Caucasus became a region of war among the Ottoman Empire and Iran, and was eventually conquered

by Russia. Following the end of the Soviet Union, Caucasus has been under various territorial disputes which ended in ethnic wars. In 1940s, the Chechens and Ingush, along with other ethnic groups (altogether 800,000 people) were deported to Siberia, and Central Asia. By 1948, according to Nicolas Werth, (French historian, Mass Crimes under Stalin (1930-1953), Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence etc…) the mortality rate of the people deported from the Caucasus between 1943 and 1944 had reached almost 200,000 people.

The land has more than 50 ethnic groups living in the region, and Caucasian languages are spoken by about 11.2 million people. The ancient divisions of the place divided on tribal distinctions disappeared, and the land was depopulated following imposition of the Russian administrative system but Georgia persisted in projecting strong national characteristics in the early part of the 20th century consequently suffered brutality under the Bolshevik regime. Through the dictatorship of the most famous son of Georgia Stalin, the land acquired the status of a Union Republic

but Stalin always treated Georgia with his well known harshness, and cruelty.

Ecologically, Caucasus is a territory of enormous importance. It has thousands of species of plants, a rich wildlife which includes leopards, brown bears, wolves, bison, golden eagles, and some 1000 spider species. The natural landscape is formed by enormous forests, and larges areas of rocky grounds. The Caucasus for being a frontier of West and East has a long and dramatic history. Its mountains and valleys gave birth to many historical figures, among them the dictator Joseph Stalin, and Mikhail Gorbachev. Peoples of the Caucasus made a valuable deposit into human culture having created numerous masterpieces of art, architecture, and literature.

“Caucasus has many economically important minerals and energy resources, such as: gold, chromium, copper, iron ore, mercury, manganese, molybdenum, lead, tungsten, uranium, zinc, oil, natural gas, and coal”. -wikipedia For the dog fanciers Caucasus’ treasures’ include its own dog breed, the Caucasian Shepherd Dog (Ovcharka).

The translation of the word Ovcharka is Sheep-Dog - in this case controversial among the dog world, because the present dog most certainly is not a shepherd. In fact the Caucasian Ovcharka, known for its great guard and defense qualities, overpowers any shepherding instinct. This is a true protection dog, and lost, if ever had any herding instincts displaying an extremely strong guarding instinct. These dogs are not kind to strangers and could be a danger to other dogs if it does not know them well. Generally every Livestock Guardian breed considers other dogs as potential predators. Again – for their own good this dog breed needs very early socialization, a vigorous, strong, and willing owner who above all is familiar with the temperamental behavior of the breed.

The Chinese Emperor’s gift - the Tibetan Dog - was already mentioned in 1121 BC. CONTINUED ON PAGE 102

Those dogs spread over Mongolia and several Asian regions ,Mesopotamia included. From there - ancient shepherds and their cattle dogs arrived to Greece and Rome, and spread over Europe. It’s likely that the territory of modern Dagestan played the main role in that migration. The Russian Republic of Dagestan, which translates as “land of the mountains”, is situated in Russia’s North Caucasus. Dagestan is a specific Eurasian point with its historical, social and geographical characteristics forming a unique breed of dog which perfectly fitted the local environmental conditions. The breed was named the Caucasian Shepherd Dog or more properly the Caucasian Mountain Dog. The breed is considered one of three Russian sheepdogs, (the two others are the bearded Russian Sheepdog and the Central Asian Shepherd Dog).

Because Stalin himself favored the big and strong dogs, it was said (seemingly to please him) that the Caucasian Sheep/Mountain Dog is an indigenous Russian breed, but the truth is that it originated in Turkey (before the Russian Revolution the Turks dominated the region).

The breed, because of its guarding instinct, could be seen accompanying Soviet soldiers during the cold war and was also used to patrol the Berlin Wall in East Germany.

The Caucasus’ climatic and geographical conditions, the isolated highlands, needed alert, aggressive and strong protectors because the cattle and sheep were and remain very important in the region. Therefore the mental and physical characteristics of those dogs were oriented to protect man and flock from predators and invaders. Those facts were the main points for the breeders to create a powerful animal whose main characteristics are strong musculature, heavy bone, long and warm coat, and hostility toward strangers.

Due the hard work helping the shepherd, and protecting the flock at the isolated and cold mountains, the dog became almost completely isolated from any other human contact, therefore the attachment and loyalty toward his master formed this one man’s dog.

102 Dog News

Nowadays a Caucasian Mountain dog that is considered well bred is a healthy, and even tempered animal. The ears of the Ovcharka are traditionally cropped. Some modern dogs are no longer altered in this manner, but in Russia the ear cropping is permited.

The coat color varies from fawn, pied, tan, gray, white, and brindle.

The male Ovcharka is larger and more massive than the females, with larger and heavier head, and a more expressed mane. The ears are furry for insulation and the dark eyes are deep set. The tail is covered extensively with heavy hair. The forelimbs are straight and long, with a dense bone mass. The paws are quite large, with hair between the toes. This helps provide the breed with good insulation and protection.

The nose of the Ovcharka is black and quite prominent, with large nostrils. The thick dense coat is weather resistant and is very effective at protecting from the cold. This is a healthy breed that lives for a relatively long time. The preference for show dogs are grey dogs with long coats. Some white markings are allowed.

There are black and black and tan dogs but they are not acceptable as show dogs. The minimum height for the Caucasian Ovcharka is 24.5 inches and there is no maximum height.

It can certainly be said that the Ovcharka is not a breed that just anyone could handle or anyone would want. This breed requires careful and responsible handling. For the inexperienced dog owner, this can be a very challenging dog to own.

They are very self-willed, extremely strong, and very intelligent. Overly vicious temperaments or excessive softness are considered to be serious faults for this breed (from the Standard).

Quite recently in the show-rings this breed has been popular in Russia, Georgia, Armenian, Azerbaijan, and other countries where flocks and properties are protected by shepherds.

We must remember that the Caucasian Ovcharka is a self-willed, extremely strong, very intelligent, enormous and heavy dog. The breed requests careful and responsible handling, and above all serious, and very dedicated breeding. This is not a dog that anyone could handle, and is not the dog for the inexperienced dog owner or breeder.

The breed is recognized by the NKC, CKC, APRI, ACR, and the FCI, where our readers can find the complete Standard.

They are also finally getting some notice in the group ring although one of the greatest problems we face is the constant battle to get judges to know the breed’s standard.

The parent club is working very hard to try to mentor judges and that is helping but we have a very long way to go with judges’ education.”

“A Spinone wants to please its master.

They are easy going and can sometimes be a bit of a clown but they still want to work for you. With patience, time and repetition,

“Lucci” (BISS Ch Intl Ch Dolce Vita Lucrezia JH NAVHDA Prize 1), Nancy Schultz’ Spinone shows that she knows what to do when she gets a “nosefull” of bird as well as being a stellar show ring performer.

“Pearl” (NAVHDA VC Ch Sweetbriar’s Cultured Pearl JH), Dan and Dana Graff’s Spinone is also an excellent retriever.

Ch Jefcu di Periono CDX RE and one qualifying score in junior hunt tests (“Perry”), one of Heather Jenner’s Spinoni, is on his way to proving the breed’s versatility.

in fact a lot of repetition, they can excel. They are a large, thick-skinned, wire-coated dog with large webbed feet designed for the water and for the field and they do both jobs very well.

Their desire to please makes them highly trainable in the hands of the right trainer. This is a true versatile breed that can compete and win against others. It is what makes them so special.

They have a great desire to please their owners and they have the ability to learn complex tasks and perform them well. But, you have to be aware that all dogs will get bored especially when they feel they have something down pat and you want them to do it again and again. You just have to work through it in an upbeat manner. Lots of treats help,” said Chris Sweetwood, who, with Lauren Friedman, owns Ch Drago Castellano of Trolibo CD MH RE THD JHR CGC TDIEVA TWT (“Drago”) and Siena Castellana DiMorghengo CDX MH RAE THD JHR CGC TDIEVA TWT (“Siena”).

Nothing is difficult for a Spinone, according to Nancy Schultz, who owns BISS Ch Intl Ch Dolce Vita Lucrezia JH NAVHDA Prize 1 (“Lucci.”) “They are highly intelligent and very trainable for any activity. The key is to understand how they think and work. They are methodical and piece things together. You have to accept this fact and adjust training methods to compliment their ‘thought’ processes. These dogs can do just about anything because they are so willing to please. The difficulty arises when their owners become impatient and don’t know how to adjust as Spinoni are very slow maturing dogs. They can be somewhat stubborn at times but they are very soft, sensitive dogs. You can’t overload or push too hard like with other breeds. They are very smart and trainable but you have to go with their flow, not yours. But, the fact that they are rare creates some difficulty because proving that they are very capable is harder. I’ll never forget the looks and comments I got when I took my dogs to hunt training class. At hunt tests I got comments like ‘Can that polar bear do a duck search?’ After awhile that stuff can wear on you but it’s so rewarding when the awesome work they do turns heads and proves their talent.”

“Their original niche as peasant dogs required tremendous versatility, robustness and cooperation with people,” said Dan Graff who owns Pearl (NAVHDA VC Ch Sweetbriar’s Cultured Pearl JH). “This created the foundation. The Italian love of finely crafted things carries through in the fine, calm personality and hunting style of these dogs. They are so intelligent and perceptive that they can do or be almost anything as long as they are carefully socialized as pups. But, you do have to be careful with them in some activities. For example, if you try to train them for field work like some of the ‘harder’ breeds, particularly the German breeds, it will cause a Spinone to shut down at times. A Spinone first learns by forming a tight family bond and once this is done, you need to guide them, not force them.

They mature slowly because they are more complex than many breeds. They’re not ‘missiles to be guided.’ They’re also not the dog for the occasional hunt or if your goal is to impress others at an event. As far as showing them in conformation is concerned, the breed standard’s mandate that they be relatively ungroomed puts the Spinone at a disadvantage in competition with breeds that are elegant but can no longer do the job in the field.”

This is not a breed that enjoys excessive drilling according to Heather Jenner, whose Spinoni (Ch Jefcu di Periono “Perry” CDX RE and one qualifying score in junior hunt tests and Ch Gisa’s Fantascienza of Isis “Kip” CD RE with one qualifying score in open obedience) have been successful in obedience and rally. “I’ve found I can’t ‘drill’ my dogs. I can’t do the same thing over and over again. When I was working on Perry’s CDX, every evening we’d fly though each exercise just once. It kept his interest because it kept things exciting for him.

FROM A FIELD-SHOW BREEDER’S PERSPECTIVE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 58

5 week old Greyhound pups with fire in their eyes for a moving lure.

Dogs and their owners traveled by train from many parts of the US to the first Westminster KC show, and the dogs were not charged for their fares as it was easier to ship them free of charge if accompanied with their owners, than it would have been to provide the dogs with a guaranteed safe passage insurance. There are other instances where coursing clubs for Greyhounds were the originators of public events such as the “Pasadena Rose Parade” or the “Tournament of Roses Parade” which started with “The Valley Hunt Club” sponsoring the first parade Jan. 1, 1890. The parade traveled down Colorado Blvd, the main street of Pasadena, CA., over 120 years ago. It is the best known parade in the world and was originated by the Greyhound Coursers of the Valley Hunt Club of Pasadena. Most folks watching the parade now wonder why the Greyhounds are included in the parade. In 1908 the Chariot race in the parade was replaced by the first College Bowl game, “The Famous Grand Daddy of all bowl games, The Rose Bowl.” Millions of folks view the parade each year in front of their TV sets.

B

ack to the Westminster dog show 2012. I’ve seen some of the fire in the eye of field dogs similar to what I saw with the Terriers sparring. Pictured are 5-week-old Greyhounds responding to the movement of a lure. The look in their eyes even at this tender age tells me not only they see the movement; they desperately want to catch what they see moving. As they grow older, they practice using their eyes for movement of animals at a great distance when they are in the fenced back 40. The rest of the dogs wonder what it is that the keen eyed brother was looking at

a quarter mile away or more. It becomes more of a competition as to who has the keenest eyesight. One hero dog will bark at something off in the distance, and the rest of the siblings will come and look to see if they can see it as well. In the field, visual acuity is just as important as speed in a coursing dog. If you can’t see it, you can’t course it. The look in the eye of a real coursing dog is much like the Terriers sparring. You wouldn’t believe the dogs in the field that cannot see after generational years of not testing their eyesight in a hunt. These dogs that can’t spot game have a “no course” with no score while the dogs that can sight and follow the hare through heavy cover are the dogs with the scores. Field-testing all the senses of each generation is an important part of hunting dogs, and how they were developed. If all we needed to have the best coursing dog would be to acquire top grade racing Greyhound, then the competition would be over. That is not how it works in coursing dogs. The make-up of a great coursing dog is the combination of durability, endurance, agility, the proper size, speed, visual acuity, the fire in their belly and even being able to hear. All components are required in testing their functional abilities. Even though racing Greyhounds and show Greyhounds are all down from the same coursing Greyhounds from the UK, each generation must be tested. It is very easy to lose the essence of the breed if the latest fashion is for breeders and judges to disregard the breed standard with respect to size.

I’ve proved, at least to myself, that what you see on the outside of the dogs at a dog show has little to do with what is on the inside of the dog with respect to being a great coursing dog. Sparring Terriers gives you window into seeing the fire in the belly of a great terrier. There are certain conformational faults that can be detected in the ring, such as toed in fronts, short necks, shoulders too close at the withers, etc., but what the dog has inside his biological cloak can for the most part only be tested for in the field. Hundreds of attributes necessary for function can only be included inside the dog and cannot be seen from the outside. As an example, the great vessels that transport blood throughout the body, and the diameter of the trachea that supplies the lungs with fresh oxygen, the larger the diameter the better. The depth of chest has little to do with the heart and lung room

if the dog is slab sided. The breadth of the chest allows for the capacity for heart and lung room. Many show judges are deceived by the outline of the dog from across the ring.

A curvy outline with great depth is thought to be typey, but is not always the case if the fullgrown dog is only 4 inches wide. How about the oxygen transfer efficiency of the lungs, this for endurance, and the blood perfusion of the muscles? These attributes and hundreds more cannot be seen or assessed from the best-looking exhibit in the ring.

It is a combination of weighing the breed standard in the ring and field-testing the dog to preserve the breed’s essential long-term survival. A primary key lesson of evolutionary biology is that traits not selected for will eventually decline. You must use it or lose it, and breed to it if you find it. Test the attributes that make a dog function or you will surely lose the dog in the end. To this end, The Westminster KC has reinstituted and sponsors field-testing the Pointing breeds of dogs on live game and are the first all-breed Kennel Club to do so. The National Open Field Coursing Association (NOFCA) has been testing Sighthounds in the field for more than 43 years since incorporation.

I started in open field coursing 43 years ago, but I soon wanted to prove my field dogs were just as good or better than the dogs in the ring and went out to prove it as one of my top field dogs broke the All-Breed BIS record for Salukis in the US. The fact that Westminster Kennel Club is back sponsoring real field tests says a lot in my book. I’ve found that handling a dog in the ring is no easy task and is the reason the pro handlers are compensated accordingly. I also contend the best professional show handlers make the most competent all-round, all-breed show judges.

But it is incumbent on us to save our breeds by testing the show dogs in the field whenever possible.

Dateline CA: Feb. 20, 2012. A Show Saluki has just won the 42nd annual NOFCA Grand Course. My report on the 3-day invitational will be forthcoming.

THE SIBERIAN HUSKY CLUB OF AMERICA’S WORKING DOG PROGRAM CONTINUED FROM PAGE 61

and a Best of Opposite Sex at a SHCA National Specialty.

“Once we owned Siberians and learned about their history, we wanted to harness them up and see what they can do,” Wayne says.

And indeed they did. Consistent with the goal of their dual purpose breeding program, which is to produce conformation ring winners with exceptional performance ability, Arrow’s son, MBISS Grand Champion Charlyn’s Crime Scene Investigator SDO (Grissom), is the only Grand Champion Siberian Husky to also earn a Sled Dog Outstanding title. Both titles are the highest that can be awarded to a Siberian Husky.

AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB TITLE RECOGNITION Sled Dog Titles reflect a dog’s capability when working in harness. Although the American Kennel Club does not sanction Siberian Husky Club of America’s Working Dog Program events where these titles may be earned, those awarded by the program are now recorded by the AKC’s Performance Events Department. (Title recognition is retroactive to 1990.)

For a $50 fee per qualifying dog, SHCA Working Dog Program titles appear on official AKC documents such as pedigrees.

CH Highlander’s Go for Broke, SDX was the first Siberian Husky to have its SHCA Working Program titles recognized by the AKC in 2007. He was bred

by Anne and Brian Palmer.

A TRUE STORY “Hike! Hike!” George Cook yelled above the roaring winds of a blinding, white-out blizzard. Despite this, Minnie, his lead dog, slowed and went down on her haunches. Cook was following what he thought was the 1,000-mile trail between Fairbanks and Whitehorse known as the Yukon Quest Sled Dog Race.

The course winds along the knife-edged top of the American Summit.

As the minus 60 degrees below zero temperature sliced into his body, Cook yelled out “Hike!” two more times. After the third repetition, Minnie shot up and the team of twelve Siberian Huskys surged ahead. Instinctively, Cook gave Minnie her head as she turned the team sharply to the left on a course leading to a destination known only to her.

Fifteen minutes later, a trail marker emerged in the snow 50-ft. ahead of them. As Cook unhooked Minnie from her harness to give the dogs a wellearned rest, he looked back over his shoulder at the direction from which they had come. The storm abated just enough for Cook to see that, if they’d continued on in the direction he’d intended, the team and the 150-pound sled would have plunged off of a 1,000-ft. cliff.

Cook made that run in February 1992. Thanks to Minnie, his lead dog on that fateful day, he’s alive today and able to tell the story. Cook is a member of the Siberian Husky Club of America Board of Directors and a veteran musher of long distance sled dog races.

LOMBARD-NORRIS SLED DOG TEAM AWARD The Lombard-Norris Sled Dog Team Award recognizes racing ability. The trophy is presented annually to the fastest running team in each of two divisions: sprint and distance. The Palmers are multiple winners of the Lombard Norris Award in the Sprint Division.

Regardless of the division in which Siberians compete, conditioning dogs for racing begins in the fall when the temperature drops to around 50 degrees. Dogs are harnessed to an ATV and run on a trail three times a week. Sprint dogs are run as fast as they can go until they slow down at which time they’re allowed to stop and rest. Overtime, they build up the distance they can run non-stop until they can go for six miles without slowing down.

Dogs that compete in middle and long distance races are run five or more times per week with the number of miles being increased progressively. Endurance is emphasized rather than speed however.

As can be seen by the above, the Palmers produce breed champions that have outstanding working ability. Their breeding program emphasizes the following.

“We breed for correct structure, athleticism and dogs that demonstrate a love to run in harness,” Anne says. “Our Siberians look like an athlete capable of running competitively against other members of the breed. They’re in good weight and have excellent health.

“We also breed for the correct Siberian temperament which means our dogs have the tenacity to work hard. They need to be independent enough to make decisions as well. While you control them somewhat with commands during a race, ultimately, it’s a team effort,” she says.

NOT FOR SISSIES—HUMAN OR OTHERWISE Like the Palmers, Wayne competes in sprint races but also races his dogs in distance events. He ran and finished the Iditarod five times and the Yukon Quest once. (His Iditarod teams each had 16 dogs which extended out 76-ft ahead of him in harness.) He is the only winner of both the Sprint and Distance Lombard-Norris Sled Dog Team Award (multiple distances) and multiple Working/Showing Trophies.

“Siberians are bred to run with a moderate load at a moderate speed over long distances,” he says. “When I ran in the Yukon Quest Race, my team ran for 20 hours straight. While I stopped every couple of hours to check my dogs and give each one a snack, we never stopped to sleep. There’s not a single mixed breed team that can do that. Siberians will pull their hearts out.”

Given the above, Wayne emphasizes “heart” in his breeding program as much as correct structure and intelligence. Mental stamina also is essential according to him.

“I’ve had dogs built for racing give up because they didn’t have the mental stamina to continue running all day, day after day,” he says.

Weather conditions are another formidable challenge. Wayne vividly remembers running his team up a mountain during the Iditarod, when the winds were so powerful; they literally lifted him and his dogs off of the trail.

One of the great things about the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is the terrific amount of attention it receives, bringing purebred dogs and their concerns into the public eye in a positive way. Since most major television news and talk shows are based in New York, having the country’s top canines in town is a great boon for them.

T

his year, there was so much interest in having Westminster dogs on television that David Frei asked me to help with the set up. For the Thursday before Westminster, Good Morning America requested the six new breeds.

Most people don’t get in to New York until the weekend, so it was a lot of work to find people with these breeds in close proximity to the city.

All was planned and set at four pm Wednesday so I took a break from my phone and computer to do errands and meet friends for dinner.

Came back at eight pm to find frantic phone calls from Westminster worker Linda Duane and multiple emails from David Frei – the Xolo had fallen through! We had scheduled the exquisite standard Xolo, Armani, who has two Bests in Show. But it turned out that his owner and handler, Lynda Hylton, had fallen and hurt her back so badly that she could barely move – an explanation that did not keep me from cursing silently under my breath because I really wanted the world to see that exquisite hairless phenomenon. We needed another Xolo.

Quick call to Jose Barrera, who had appeared with his Xolo, Alma, at the Westminster news conference the week before. He couldn’t do more with us because he was in the middle of

Westminster on the Television Circuit

planning a major exposition of his high end, celebrity jewelry that would take place in five days. Jewelry buyers from stores around the world already had their plane tickets in hand to come see his work during Fashion Week.

But he is such a good-natured man that he responded to our plight by agreeing to take the morning off to appear with the other rare breeds.

Things were set again, so I jumped in bed and turned on television news. The weather was turning colder and a big snowstorm was slowly advancing to the East Coast from the Midwest. The phone rang. It was the owner of another of our new breeds, Curt Willis, whose American English Coonhound was scheduled to appear.

“It’s snowing hard here,” he reported tensely from Pittsburgh. “I’ve got to get my plows out. I can’t make it.”

In other words, because he runs a business clearing parking lots, he cannot split during a big storm to drive to New York City at 3 a.m. and appear on Good Morning America, as I had persuaded him to do a few days before. So I was up a tree again. My heart was pounding as I worked the phones.

American English Coonhounds are plentiful in the Carolinas, Indiana and Texas, but very few places in between. It is not a breed you

120 Dog News

would expect to find in cosmopolitan New York City. But I dug out the phone number of Reverend Richard Moore of Queens and begged him, in my best groveling television news producer manner, to appear on live television in about eight hours. Gentleman that he is, he agreed. The producers at Good Morning America were so grateful they sent a car to pick him up, to make sure this coonhound would not slip out of their grasp.

Several quick hours of sleep. Jumped the train into New York before most of the regular daily commuters were awake. David Frei and I emailed, texted, and cellphoned our way through the next few hours. The appearance on GMA was a great success for the new breeds, for purebred dogs, and for Westminster. The Madison Square Garden ticket office reported that seats were nearly sold-out, a status Westminster has enjoyed for several years.

N

ext talk show, Wendy Williams. The Wendy producers had carefully selected a lineup of dogs: Xolo, Bedlington, Dandie Dinmont, Afghan, and Komondor. The dogs were to trot down a red carpet runway and leap onto a low, round stage, where they would pose

while Wendy and her guest co-host, Hulk Hogan, admired them. It should be easy enough for a show dog, but I insisted on a low-key, low-pressure rehearsal to familiarize the dogs with everything they would encounter.

The Wendy crew was great. The first stage they offered us was too small for a large Afghan, so they quickly discarded it and brought out a big round disc that was a better fit.

The dog handlers huddled about how to best approach the stage and cameras, eventually figuring that the only way to do it was to put the dog on the right and ask him to turn and pose to the left – in other words, the opposite of show ring procedure. We knew this would feel unfamiliar to the dogs and everyone was eager to practice.

After walking through the set and cameras for a few minutes, Laurie Zembrzuski led her Bedlington, Rigby, through the procedure, nailing it on the first try. Then came Sharon Ferraro’s Afghan, Honey, who loved the stage and the attention. Joe Horvath led his Komondor through the routine with no problem. Eileen Becker’s Dandie, Jock, balked at leaping up on the disc. It was high for his short legs, so the crew

quickly constructed a step. Eileen relaxed him, letting him walk around, sniff the step and stage, and finally lured him with chicken treats to try again. Bingo! Cameramen, floor directors and production assistants all broke into applause when Jock leaped to the center of the stage, making him feel extremely proud of himself.

David arrived with Jose Barrera and the Xolo, fresh from the success of their GMA appearance. There wasn’t time for another rehearsal, so Wendy’s assistant, Monique, brought a laptop into the green room so they could see how the rehearsal went. This was the first time that we saw the special effects being put in from the control room. They made a split screen with each dog’s face and his celebrity lookalike. The Bedlington got Drew Barrymore. The Afghan matched with Sarah Jessica Parker. For the dreadlocked Komondor, Whoopi Goldberg. The best match was Hulk Hogan and Jock, the Dandie, with their full white beards and mustaches. But Jose was angry when he saw the celebrity planned for his delicate Xolo. It was a strange rap singer who wears a hat adorned with horns. The CONTINUED ON PAGE 140

For me the absolute highlight of Westminster, other than the Best in Show winner, was when displaced Canadian, Ms. Betty Regina Leininger, walked out onto the Westminster floor. She looked stunningly glamorous. This girl from “the Rock” (Newfoundland, Canada) truly “Rocked” the Garden!

If you liked RANDY GARREN’S tie and vest that he wore when he judged the group at the Garden, thank CHARLOTTE PATTERSON. RANDY liked the color of the gown she wore when she judged the Garden group, so she sent it to him and he had his accessories made. The emails keep on arriving with irate exhibitors appalled at the amount of “Service Dogs” that flew out of New York airports on the Wednesday following the Garden. And to think that just the day before they were all show dogs. I have written about this abuse for a long time and hope that the American Kennel Club addresses this problem before the wrong people get wind of this ongoing fraud. I would like my dog sitting next to me when fly, but thank God I don’t have any of the disabilities that require a service dog and those that abuse this privilege should be thankful that they don’t need one as well.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK CONTINUED FROM PAGE 22

ROBERT A. SCHROLL No, I would certainly not vote in favor of a secret ballot for the election of the new chairman. I have never heard of there ever being one before, and I would have to question the reason any board member had in asking for, or voting in favor of one. That said, I will vote my conscience, however it is taken.

TOM POWERS I believe in transparency, in so far as it does not violate the director’s fiduciary duty to the corporation. Accordingly I would allow the results of most votes to be public.

BILL NEWMAN My personal impression is that the voters have a right to know of potential conflicts of interest or potential personal agendas.

ALAN KALTER The Delegates, as the electors of the Directors, are entitled to transparency on every vote taken by the Board. All Directors should be willing to openly share their votes and stand behind them. The vote for Chair is not the time to start hiding individual decisions

from the Delegates. A secret ballot at the Board level is simply a slippery slope that must be avoided.

LARRY SORENSON The AKC Charter and Bylaws of The American Kennel Club, Inc. does not state how the vote must be taken. It makes little difference to me, I will vote the same way whether the vote is open or closed. I understand it has been done both ways in the past.

ED. NOTE-Please note that 12 of the 17 Board members and Candidates contacted answered this question. The answers are printed in the order received. Board members Amen,Ashby,Battaglia and Gladstone and Candidate Feeney elected not to respond. The four seated Board members who did not respond are of the camp said to be supporting the same person for the Board Director Ashby.

Their silence coincidental or not to my mind is quite telling except in fairness to Mr. Gladstone he told me at the World Show in Paris he would never answer a Question of the Week submitted to him by me. In any event feel free to draw your own conclusions about what the answers indicate and what the silence meant as well.

photo was truly ugly, an insult to the sensitive, doe-eyed Alma.

“No way,” he said. “If they use that, I’m walking.

Tell them. Really. I am not having her insulted like this.”

Monique appeared, anxious to explain that it was all in fun and not meant as an insult to Alma. Jose was angry. When the producer left, the other dog owners sympathized.

Laurie spoke of insults slung at her dogs for looking like lambs. Marlene Horvath shook her head in resignation. “Komondors get it all the time,” she sighed. “We get called rastas (short for Rastafarian, the religious movement whose members wear dreadlocks), mops, hip-hop dudes – you just have to ignore it.”

Jose was mollified by their sympathy and the fact that he was not alone in bearing up under insults to his dog.

He allowed Alma to go on. She happily pranced down the runway and leapt onto the stage like a little star. The split screen with the ugly rap singer fell flat; the audience didn’t even laugh.

Wendy Williams was complimentary towards all the dogs. Hulk Hogan spoke of his love for his four Chihuahuas. David Frei talked about the excitement of Westminster. Then the hosts joined the dogs on stage for the “Diva Fan,” which blew their hair back in waves. I’d worried that the dogs wouldn’t like it, but they did. Each one stood their ground and showed their hearts out, even little Alma, stretching up from Jose’s arms.

From there, we proceeded to a news conference at the New Yorker Hotel, eagerly attended by dozens of reporters anxious to snap photos and ask questions of the dog owners. By now, I saw that the owners of show dogs had resigned themselves to answering questions about what toy their dog likes to play with and how you brush his hair. The handlers wanted to mention that he comes from a long line of Westminster BOB winners, was second in the nation, both systems, last year, and has 19 group placements. But they realized that reporters’ eyes glaze over when you mention that, and their pens stop working.

We loaded the dogs and handlers into a van to start them back to their homes. Laurie and the Bedlington were flying to Virginia; Reverend Moore back to Jamaica, Queens; Eileen Becker and the Dandie back to the parking garge near Wendy Williams’ 53rd St. Studio to pick up their car for the drive out to eastern Long Island.

very Friday before Westminster, NBC sets up a satellite feed for David to do crosstalk with news anchors on their noon news shows all around the country. In previous years, David spent hours finding a dog from each of the cities on the feed. This year, he decided to go with available show dogs, to save everyone the pain of trying to get so many people to make the deadlines.

We used many of the new breeds, Sharon Pederson with her Lundehund, Rebecca Hahn with her Entlebucher, and Loren Marino with her Cesky.

I grabbed Joan Behrend on her way to the Progressive Toy Show with her Pomeranian to talk to the folks in Columbus, GA, and a former top junior

handler to talk to Pittsburgh with her Miniature Bull Terrier. The TV crew loved that dog. He sprawled on his back on the grooming table, letting his head drape over the side, grinning upside-down with his funny slit eyes. Everyone on the crew popped out their mini-cameras to snap his picture.

One of David’s favorite appearances is on Closing Bell, the Wall Street Show on Friday afternoon. With ten other places to be, David barely made it in time. But the dogs were there, not at all disturbed by the crazy stock traders shouting around them.

The shows kept popping up; it seemed every morning show wanted a segment with the dogs. We worked round the clock to get dogs and handlers to WPIX, Fox & Friends, CBS Morning Show, Today Weekend Sunday, and the opening parade of the National Toy Show at Javits Center.

When Westminster was over, all the shows wanted David Frei back with the Westminster Best in Show winner. Malachy the Pekingese was a hit everywhere he went, which included Sardi’s restaurant, Donald Trump’s office, and the top of Empire State Building, where he was proclaimed king of the canine world.

David Fitzpatrick proved wonderfully adept at handling reporters’ questions. “He is my housepet, he runs around the kitchen chasing balls and watches television on the sofa with me.” What about the co-owners?, the reporters asked about Iris Love and Sandra Middlebrooks. “They have visiting privileges,” David Fitzpatrick said.

“But he is my housepet. He stays with me.” The journalists saw an owner who cherishes his dog, which hopefully will influence some who think owners simply exploit the dog for big wins.

Since Martha Stewart’s Chow Chow, Genghis Kahn, won the breed at the Garden, she was thrilled that I’d booked Doris Cozart to appear on her show to talk about judging. Doris judged the Chow Chows, but I hadn’t realized that when I called her to do the show. I booked her for her expertise in judging Toys.

Doris said that when she picked Best of Breed, a cheer went up around the ring that was so loud, it sounded like she’d just picked Best in Show! “That was us,” Martha said, embarrassed. Her entire staff had been on hand to watch GK’s Westminster debut. “But it was Best in Show as far as we were concerned!”

Of all the television hosts we met during this wild week, Martha Stewart was the most gracious and most interested in the dogs. She was the one who came to the green room and said hello to everybody. GK’s handler, Jan Kolnik, also appeared. An entire half-hour of the Martha Stewart Show was devoted to Westminster dogs.

What all the media attention showed is that even after 136 years on the scene, when it comes to the public face of dog shows, Westminster is still the one.

AN OLD SHAGGY (HUNTING) DOG STORY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 106

thing wrong, I just ignored it and went on to the next exercise. Training some obedience concepts just takes time and innovation and you have to understand that Spinoni will often find other things that are more interesting when you are working on obedience. They don’t train like ‘typical’ obedience breeds. But, you also have to keep in mind that a Spinone in the obedience and rally rings often involves some comedy. One of the biggest keys to success in any sport with a Spinone is finding what it takes to get them to do what you ask whether it’s a ‘good boy,’ a food treat, a pat on the head, a run in a field or some other reward for doing what you want them to do.”

“The biggest obstacle to success with a Spinone in any activity is boredom. They learn fast so they get bored fast,” said Alex Costello, who owns GCh Busy B’s Elliot Ess MH NAVHDA Natural Abilities Prize 1 and NAVHDA Utilty Prize 1 (“Elliot.”) “It takes a balance of serious training and fun to get to your goal. You have to be creative in your training so as not to bore them because if they are bored, Spinoni can become unpredictable and will take it upon themselves to make the job more interesting, something you don’t want to have happen at a test or in the show ring. This breed has quite a sense of humor!”

“Spinoni present a very sweet demeanor and they can use that to be very manipulative,” said Ann Bagnell, who owns Ch Osage Caesar MH NAVHDA VC (“Brasch”) with Karen Beyer. “As with any dog, you have to learn to ‘read’ the dog, to interpret what’s going on with the dog and what the dog needs to achieve success. This is trickier with a Spinone especially with some of the females who can be most foxy. There are those who want a ‘onesize-fits-all’ training manual and there is no such thing. It takes a forgiving dog that lets the new handler make his or her share of mistakes and still come back and do the right thing for the handler.

The greatest difficulty I found in field training was learning how the dogs learn so you can teach them what is expected. Then you have to be flexible and creative with each dog through the training process. For example, one dog may be naturally more bold and independent than another. Both need the same fundamentals but they benefit from a different kind of advanced training that is suited to their individual temperaments. Brasch’s sister Luchi, who is also a VC and an MH, definitely shut down on some training when she was young, probably from too much pressure and not enough fun. We let her hunt with practically no obedience over the winter and moved on in training to other things to get her enthusiasm back. Karen, the dogs’ co-owner, is a music teacher and she said that as a teacher, you have to reinvent yourself and be creative when what you are doing is not working with a student. It turns out that it’s pretty much the same story with dogs.”

Berdell Koch also has had to solve some problems with her two dogs. “Lily (U-CDX Furnace Hills Bacio UD Ver RE OA OAJ MH CGC NAVHDA Utility VBSA VBJA) is an air scenter, which is fine for field work, but she has trouble doing an AKC track because she takes shortcuts on a track. This became a problem when I was trying to train her for an AKC

tracking title. Finally, keeping in mind that training should be fun for both you and the dog, I did some research for optional training methods, had two AKC tracking judges evaluate her and ultimately decided to not fight the dog’s instincts. We can’t all be good at everything. When I was training Lily for AKC utility and her master hunter title at the same time, she started to get very sluggish in obedience. She showed me in no uncertain terms that she wanted to do field work by lying in her crate at shows with her back to the door. So, we finished her UD and then put obedience on hold. Two years later I refreshed her memory with three training sessions and entered her in versatility where she qualified four out of four times and placed three times including one win. That’s the joy of doing a lot of different things with a dog. When one doesn’t work out, you just switch.

Etta (Etta James of Darby Canyon CD BN RD TD JH CGC) was sound sensitive, which can be a big problem when you’re doing field training. I tried shooting a starter’s pistol just before feeding her. She would go lie down and eventually come out to eat.

I tried taking her for a walk and occasionally firing the starter’s pistol. That didn’t work either. But, I watched her during play time with other dogs. She loved to retrieve and was very competitive to get the toy or the ball first so we decided to use that competitiveness to our advantage. We lined up eight dogs, launched a bumper with a gun shot and sent one of the dogs.

Etta, of course, hid behind me. By the third shot and retrieve, she was at my side watching. By the fifth shot, she wanted to do what the other dogs were getting to do and I could hardly hold her back. We are still very careful not to shoot around her unless there is a retrieve involved and it took a year and a half to overcome this problem but it has been well worth the effort.”

As is the case with most sporting breeds, Spinoni owners and breeders face the constant challenge of keeping the hunting ability and the drive in the field while still preserving the conformation and unique look of the breed. “We have to resist the temptation to breed for what wins in the show ring or what’s successful in the field or performance activities. It’s important to breed to the Spinone standard because if we’re not careful, we’ll wind up with two different types of Spinoni—one for the show ring and one for the field and performance. Then we will lose what makes the breed so great, its versatility,” said Costello.

“We’re also experiencing problems with growth in numbers of the breed,” said Schultz. “As the number of Spinoni grows, more people are involved and this means that sometimes breeding decisions that may not be in the best interests of the breed. Breeding for the ‘wrong’ reasons can create health issues as well as other unanticipated consequences. The potential separation into show/field lines is troublesome. It is so important that this breed stay together because solid conformation and solid hunting go hand in hand. You need one for the other and vice versa.”

WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE? REAT magazine. Where is the outrage re: Romney’s dog on the roof?

Am I missing the outrage in your magazine about Mitt Romney strapping his Irish Setter in a crate on top of the car while he takes his family on an extended road trip?

Love the new paper which really makes DOG NEWS the classy publication it has always been.

Ruth Edwards, Sacramento, CA KENNEL CLUB’S RESPONSE TO PEDIGREE DOGS EXPOSED: THREE YEARS ON he programme Pedigree Dogs Exposed: Three Years On addressed some worrying but important issues that affect dog health and welfare, which the Kennel Club is working to resolve with vets, welfare organisations, breeders and geneticists.

The vast majority of breeders care about dog welfare and the Kennel Club supports those breeders by making it clear that breeding dogs for looks and money over health and welfare is completely unacceptable.

Unfortunately, there is very little regulation of dog breeding in this country and the Kennel Club has no legislative power but runs its Assured Breeder Scheme to support responsible breeders.

Bill Lambert, Manager of the Kennel Club Assured Breeder Scheme, said: “There are some extremely serious issues affecting dog health and welfare but sadly the vast majority of dog breeders in this country are effectively unregulated. This means that disreputable breeders can get away with breeding dogs, whether crossbreed or pedigree, for money and fashion at the expense of welfare.

“That is why the Kennel Club established its Assured Breeder Scheme in 2004, which sets high welfare standards for and monitors breeders. This is the only scheme of its kind in the country and the Kennel Club is lobbying the government to make the principles that Assured Breeders follow mandatory for all.”

Sadly, some breeders continue to breed dogs to achieve a particular look that is not supported by the Kennel Club’s Breed Standards. Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: “The Breed Standards for pedigree dogs, which have been agreed with the veterinary profession, including the BVA, make it absolutely clear that breeding dogs with exaggerated features, such as overly short noses and heavy wrinkles, is not acceptable.”

In the absence of legislation, there is no obligation on breeders to take note of the Breed Standards which promote healthy dogs. Dog shows are the only forum where it is possible to see whether dogs are being bred with exaggerations. Judges are trained to only reward healthy dogs and to make absolutely sure that this happens the Kennel Club will be introducing veterinary checks from Crufts this year onwards.

Embracing science: Despite the lack of regulation, the Kennel Club is determined to give breeders the tools to help them put dog welfare first. The Kennel Club is working with geneticists at the Kennel Club Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust to research inherited diseases and to develop DNA tests so that breeders can screen dogs for certain conditions before they are bred from – the health test results for Kennel Club registered dogs are displayed on the Kennel Club website.

The Kennel Club recognises that breeders have to balance the need to select healthy dogs for breeding programmes with maintaining genetic diversity, so that breeds are as healthy as possible in the future. The Kennel Club has supported research that shows the levels of genetic diversity in different breeds, which will enable it to work with Breed Clubs to develop solutions that might include outcrossing, importing dogs from abroad or using a wider range of stud dogs. It has also developed an online service, called Mate Select, to perform complex calculations that let breeders easily see which dogs would be the best to mate according to the future health and genetic diversity of the litter.

Sarah Blott, a geneticist at the Kennel Club Canine Genetics Centre at the Animal Health Trust, said: “Science will completely transform dog breeding in the future, allowing breeders to make choices about which dogs to mate based on scientific information that will be available from the Kennel Club. At the moment the research is related to pedigree dogs, because we have more knowledge about their ancestry and the health issues that they are likely to face but ultimately it will help to improve the health of all dogs.”

The Kennel Club has made two films, one looking at the health issues that affect dogs and the work being done to address them www. thekennelclub.org.uk/doghealth and another looking at the lack of regulation over breeders and how puppy farmers breed dogs in terrible conditions to make money at the expense of welfare www.thekennelclub. org.uk/stoppuppyfarming.

NEW HOPE FOR THE ORPHAN JUDGES CONTINUED FROM PAGE 70

through lifetime experience and continuing education.â€? That actually gives one hope that credit will be ďŹ nally be given to writers for their research and writing about dog breeds, which wasn’t done in the past.

But then they go on to say, “this will result in varied outcomes for applicants.�

And, “it is important to understand there is a basic difference between equality of opportunity to judge and identical treatment of applicants.â€? ??? Even more inexplicable is the section in Interviews that says, “The AKC Executive Field Representatives will discuss each breed requested with the applicant and remind applicant that satisfying all educational requirements and a successful interview do not guarantee approval of the breed(s) requested.â€? These quotes seem to imply that folks should not be upset if they are not treated equally in the approval process. This sounds like a throwback to the old Len Brumby days where his personal approval was all that was needed for advancement. Except that this time “The application will be reviewed by numerous in-house staff members and the Judges Review Committee.â€? Which spreads the responsibility for approvals and rejections to numerous anonymous in-house staff members. Even the Judges Review Committee will have ďŹ ve members.

But back to the signiďŹ cance of the new regulations to the plight of the orphan judges. The requirements to become a ďŹ rst time judge don’t concern them. They are already approved to judge something.

What they are trying to do is apply for more additional breeds so let’s look how that has changed for them.

The most signiďŹ cant sentence is “On each additional breed application, judges may not apply for more than one-half the number of breeds in the largest Group under the then current additional breed policy.

This is the sentence that does away with the old policy of only allowing a judge to apply for additional breeds using the policy that they ďŹ rst applied under. This does away with the old one-breed-for-one-breed policy

148 Dog News

that had the orphan judges trapped. The current largest group is Hounds with 28 breeds. However, if the breeds are realigned into new, smaller, groups the number of breeds that could be applied for will decrease in the future. But at the moment a judge that is approved for whatever their current breeds are will be allowed to apply for up to 14 new breeds.

Not that they will all be granted. I did this when the 2003 approval guidelines went into effect only to be told that I had to apply under the old, one breed for one breed rule because I had ďŹ rst applied under that rule. The same happened to all the other orphan judges. Now that old policy has been overturned. And we are free to apply for a reasonable number of breeds.

How many should you apply for? The guidelines go on to say. “On subsequent applications for additional breeds, applicants must have regular status for all previously approved breeds. “ So you had better apply for whatever you think you qualify for and can afford now (at a $25/breed application fee). Because if you are granted multiple breeds, you will not be allowed to apply again until you have completed all the permit assignments. “The number of breeds approved will be determined by Judges Review Committee in relationship to experience, background and education. Applicant will display this information for review within a letter of synopsis for each breed to include the following with veriďŹ able dates: “In a letter of synopsis the applicants should include all information that may be relevant relating to the applicants education and experience for each breed in which they have applied. This should include but not be limited to seminars, workshops, institutes, mentors, personal experience with the breed and previous judging experiences. All experiences should include dates and be otherwise veriďŹ able: s %XPLAIN WHY YOU ARE APPLYING FOR THIS BREED AND WHAT you have accomplished to prepare for this breed. s !PPLICANT MUST PROVIDE QUALIlCATIONS TO JUDGE EACH breed, documenting experience, background and education criteria: s -UST CONTINUE TO MEET !+# S OCCUPATIONAL ELIGIBILITY requirements. s 0ASS )NTERVIEW WITH !+# %XECUTIVE &IELD 2EPRESENTATIVE s 0ASS A WICKET AND OR SCALE TEST IF APPLICABLE s ! NON REFUNDABLE PER BREED PROCESSING FEE REQUIRED Education may include: s )NSTITUTE OR 3EMINAR ALL ATTENDEES MUST PASS !+# BREED test in order to receive credit for attendance.â€?

This last point is interesting. At the last two National Specialty seminars that I attended no AKC breed test was given.

So is this to be given by the AKC and your seminar doesn’t count if you fail the test?

Come on all you other orphan judges. Let’s apply under the new guidelines.
