the editorial

QUALITY OVER QUANTITY!!!!

It’s questionable enough in the American world of dog competition to award a Championship title to an exhibit which has never defeated a dog of its own sex as is done here through the Best of Winners award. Now AKC has expanded this theory whereby dogs may earn the title of Grand Champion without even winning a Breed. Not only that but AKC has established a ranking system for these exhibits with metallic gradations which recognize possible non-breed winning exhibits with Gold or even Platinum titles! Now comes in September a member Club with the support of the Delegate Parent Club Committee to further degrade the title of American Champion by asking the Delegates to approve the misguided concept of awarding a three-point major to exhibits which are adjudicated Reserve Winners at National Specialty Shows! When is enough enough and quality to be stressed over quantity? At least in the case of the Grand Championship competitions additional monies are being earned for the AKC and the Show Giving Clubs by keeping dogs normally retired in competition. But how are they increasing the quality of competition and the meaning of a championship award at AKC sponsored shows?

Obviously the philosophy of all too many people is more is better and enough is never enough. The concerned breeders who are the heart and core of our sport must be strong and committed to the concept that the American Championship title must be the most meaningful in the world whether AKC wants it to be or not and force a reconsideration of the above named practices.

THE “APHIS” DILEMMA As all too many of us know the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), part of the USDA, has recently published a proposal that would expand licensing requirements to dog breeders who were formerly exempt from such licensing. While these changes are aimed primarily at improving animal welfare in the commercial retail dog industry the full impact will hit hobby breeders hard as well. Since the USDA has asked for comments in developing these rules it is vital that you read the proposal carefully and make your concerns known to them. There is an excellent analysis of the entire problem written by Carlotta Cooper in this week’s issue, which may help you understand how odious to the hobby breeder some of these proposals are. The NAIA is also a leader in the fight to refine some of these proposals

10 Dog News

and lessen the affect upon all of us. It is vital that concerned parties such as we breeders comment on the proposal and show our opposition to those aspects of it, which are unacceptable to us personally and may actually be harmful to one and all. The comment period is open for 60 days, until July 16!! The address of USDA is Docket No. APHIS-2011-0003— Regulatory Analysis and Development—PPD, APHIS, Station 3A-03.8—4700 River Road, Unit 118—Riverdale, Md 207371238. ACT TODAY is our plea, that’s for sure!!!!!!

SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS AT DOG SHOWS Does or does not AKC have a rule or policy about the number of special events a show may hold on a given day? There seems to be some confusion on the issue. It is reported that certain Staff members repeatedly told Delegates that there may be only one special event per show!! Yet the exact opposite seems to be occurring. Falling into this category of course is the Owner-Handler Competition being held as a Special Event with the Best Bred by Competition. Whether or not these two events held on the same day are redundant is the topic of this week’s Question of the Week. However what practically occurs should ONE exhibit qualify as the winner of the two special events and be a Regular Group winner as well? The potential exists for one exhibit to be in all three competitions! Is this too much to put a dog through in one day? It seems like an awful lot to us-what do you think?

INSURANCE CLAIMS FOR DOG BITES ON THE RISE Dog bites accounted for more than one-third of homeowners insurance liability claims paid in 2011, costing nearly $479 million in the U.S., according to the Insurance Information Institute. The cost of dog bite claims has risen 48% since 2003, even though the number of dog bites has remained flat according to this organization. State Farm, the largest writer of homeowners insurance in the US, paid more than $109 million on nearly 3,800 dog bite claims in 2011. The average cost of dog bite claims was $29,396 in 2011, up 53.4% from $19,162 in 2004. Most often kids are the bite victims and what with there being owned 78.2 million dogs in the US, one dog for every four people, the more urban our society becomes the more dog ownership there seems to be.

Laws in 18 states let dog owners off on liability for the dog’s first bite but there are some states that react the exact opposite. Be prepared to see that in most homeowner’s policies written provisions exist that vicious dogs will not be covered.

So what’s a vicious dog you may rightly ask—who knows the answer to that one!!!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK The ‘MY DOG CAN DO THAT!’ competition is probably the hottest new commodity at dog shows today. A perfect lure to capture the imagination of the pet dog owner in your geographic area, this attraction sees hundreds of spectators with their dogs lined up throughout the day and increases attendance at shows immeasurably. What with so many people worrying about the cost of financing a dog show how about a little ingenuity-introduce this event, advertise the hell out of it and watch your paid gate double or triple or do even more than that!

BY Michael Faulkner

Lighter Side of Judging LUCK OF THE IRISH

S

t. Patrick’s Day is generally characterized by attending church service, wearing green attire, watching public parades and processions, and the lifting of Lenten restrictions on eating and drinking alcohol----which is often prohibited during the rest of the season. St. Patrick’s Day, for me, is characterized by acknowledging my Irish ancestors, drinking green beer, sourcing a funny St. Patrick’s Day card for Big Michael, wearing something green in fear of being pinched to death and judging one of the major dog shows that fall within the green zone. This past year I had the pleasure of judging The New England Sporting Group Association (NESGA) two-day weekend held in Fitchburg, Mass during the shamrock celebration.

Daughter of Thor (DOT), my friend from Chicago, phoned me two weeks prior to the show – “Hey there – I was planning on flying out for New England Sporting to attend a few seminars. Which hotel are you staying in? If you arrive around the same time I do, I am more than happy give you a lift.” “Wonderful!” I respond with no hesitation. “I will check with the club and get back with you. I know the show venue quite well, as I have judged there on numerous occasions and I am sure we are staying at the Marriott property located on the same grounds,” I add to the conversation.

“Ooooh Kaaaay,” replies DOT. “I will make my reservation and please remember it is St. Patrick’s Day weekend. Remember to pack something green to wear,” DOT shares with genuine concern.

“Don’t you worry, I have everything covered,” I exclaim---clearly remembering ten years ago, when I judged DOT’s home show over St. Patrick’s Day weekend. She tortured me by making a dinner reservation in downtown Chicago, at a trendy restaurant, oblivious of the fact it was the evening the Irish politicians in town turn the Chicago River an incredible shade of Irish green.

DOT’s husband, Mr. TD---always rich with history and trivia---was all too proud to tell me, “In 1961, some guy named Stephen Bailey was contacted by a plumber, who was wearing white overalls---totally covered with stains---the perfect shade of Irish green. Stephen Bailey asked how the overalls got that way and he discovered that the dye used to detect leaks into the river turned green, not just any shade of green, but the perfect shade color green. A tradition was born.”

I truly could not allow myself to appreciate fully Mr. TD’s spectacular Emerald Green River transformation story due to the fact I was starving! We were three and one-half hours late for our dinner reservation and I was totally sick of riding in the back of their dog van after traveling all day.

“Oooh Kaaaay. We shall talk later. Let me know when you arrive in Boston. I will meet you

14 Dog News

at the airport,” DOT ends the conversation--leaving me wondering how I ever forgave her for my green river ride from hell.

MS. GY, the Hospitality Chairperson for NESGA, sends me a message three weeks before the show. The email informs me of my lack of communication and of the necessity to confirm my transportation arrangements--coupled with a request to define my lodging requirements. I humbly reply using email: Hi MS. GY! Sorry for the delay---I arrive on USAIR from Richmond on flight 3742 on Friday, March 16, 2012 arriving at 8:21 AM. My departure is Sunday, March 18, 2012 on flight 3636, departing at 7:07PM. I will need a non-smoking room with two beds. Thank you for your assistance and I look forward to seeing you soon.

MS. GY responds: Hello Michael, when you arrive, could you please take the shuttle over to the Airport Hilton, I will pick you up at noon with MS. MB, the judge from Scotland. She is staying over at the hotel on Thursday evening. They have a cafe where you can work on your writing. Best, GY. Knowing MS. GY’s intentions were good (like I can honestly be stimulated to write in a hotel cafe---after getting out of bed at 3:45 am, driving an hour to the airport, flying to Boston--booked on a super-early morning plane to save the club $159.00 on the airfare) I politely respond to her request for me to take a hotel shuttle to the Hilton and wait for almost four hours for transportation to Fitchburg.

“Hi MS. GY. A fellow judge and friend of mine (DOT) is flying in to do judges’ education at the shows said she would pick me up from the airport and take me to the hotel. This will keep me from having to wait at the hotel until noon.

Thanks, Michael.”

I confirm flight arrival and departure times with DOT and she agrees to shuttle me to the host hotel. DOT’s plane will arrive thirtyfive minutes after my flight, giving me ample time to transfer to her arrival terminal, take the shuttle to pick up the rental car and then proceed to the Marriott, Fitchburg.

Less than two weeks before the show, I receive an email from the lovely MS. CC, the show chairperson for NESGA. Hello Michael, Our entries are fantastic for our shows coming up in a few weeks. I am delighted with the numbers…seems we are up in every breed. Anyway, you have an overload of 26 dogs for Sunday. I would like to remove Irish Setters, if that is OK with you. Please confirm at your earliest convenience. Thanks, and see you in a couple weeks. Hope the weather cooperates and you have safe and pleasant travel. CC.

I reread MS. CC’s email, thrilled by the news that their entry is up, but devastated by the news they will be taking Irish Setters away from me on St. Patrick’s Day. “What did I do to deserve this?” I ask myself, hoping my “Luck of the Irish” was not running out before my trip to Fitchburg. “Why could they not have taken some German, French or even American breeds away from me?” I silently query. I intentionally force my patterns of thought down memory lane in support of relieving the anguish over not judging Irish Setters.

I am thrilled to be returning to Fitchburg, MA for shows, knowing the host hotel is walking distance from the show site and especially knowing that I can return to Ss. Lobster for deep fried Lobster. I immediately engage DROID in a voice search in an attempt to confirm that Ss. Lobster remains in business. “Ss. Lobster, Fitchburg, Mass…” I clearly speak into the front of the thin, small hand-held device.

Within seconds, the screen changes appearance and a review of the restaurant appears for my evaluation.

Great food and incredible prices on lobster.

Fries could be better. They are frozen. Super long waits. No expeditor. Employees are gruff and awful so you just have to forget them and enjoy the food. They have a built-in clientele so they don’t care about anything or anyone. The un-greenest restaurant ever!!! Everything is disposable, plastic, Styrofoam, etc. They produce so much trash here just so that they do not have to wash dishes.

It is vile, vulgar and disgustingly wasteful. The food is excellent.

I thank the gentleman from California for his overly-green review of the Ss. Lobster and I start to reminisce about my first visit to the eating establishment, many years ago with Mr. EB and then I re-live my second visit, a few years back, with JVegas. I had arrived at Boston Logan International Airport midafternoon. I was using an upgrade coupon for a premier class car. This unusual luxury was a direct outcome of my last rental experience.

(I departed the rental agency for a pleasant drive to my hotel. I ran out of gas four miles down the road. The rental car company had to bring me a new vehicle right on the highway!)

I provided Sean (Enterprise Car Rental Agent) with my well-earned coupon and he joyfully provided me with a trendy little, black convertible sports car with red leather interior for my joy ride to Fitchburg. Not one to be overly impressed by fast cars, I have to admit my testosterone level soared a tad upon my arrival at the Marriott hotel. Shortly after my check-in, I Continued on page 54

OWNER-HANDLERS AND MORE

T

he Dog News Question of the Week proposed by Matthew Stander is of great interest for many reasons. “This past weekend an all-breed show was held which offered on the same day both Best Bred

by Exhibitor and Best Owner-Handler Classes. Do you think this is redundant or a good idea?” Leave it to Matt to ask a provocative question and good for him!

First of all, let’s take a look at the Owner-Handler Class. In its original form, the Amateur Owner-Handler Class was designed for those who did not feel competent and/or experienced enough to compete with the professionals in conformation competition. Once they win the blue ribbon to advance to Winners Class they compete with all handlers.

The AOH class specifically excludes professional handlers and those who have served as professional assistants as well as judges. It is designed to make both newcomers and others feel “at home” in the show ring and both judges and exhibitors seem to enjoy the category.

The latest expression of the “OwnerHandler” is an open competition (called the Owner-Handler Series) as long as one of the actual owners of record is on the other end of the lead. The competition occurs in the Best of Breed judging and also excludes professional handlers defined as those who have handled dogs for pay, distributed rate cards and/ or belonged to professional handlers’ organizations. The owner can be one of many on a given dog, and the dog can be entered as a “specials only” BOB contestant or a class animal. The highest ranking class animal in the BOB class is eligible for the honor if none of the specials are owner-handled. It doesn’t matter what category or level of expertise the designated owner showing the dog may possess as long they have never played for pay. In fact, even judges are eligible for the OH Series competition which will rank owner-handlers for special honors as Top Ten competitors in each breed and group. Starting in 2013 such finalists will be invited to compete in a special event at the end of the year.

According to AKC sources, the initial shows hosting the Owner-Handler Series were by invitation, and all shows become eligible for the competition starting July 1. The inaugural experience for me came while judging at Trenton where AKC representatives Patti Proc-

BY PAT TROTTER tor and Sydney Good worked with ring stewards and judges instructing them on how to execute the new format. Trust me, there was plenty of confusion to go around and thank heavens for the good natured officials at the show! Many of us adjudicating were not sure if AOH class winners were also eligible for the honor, which follows the BOB judging unless the BOB was handled by an owner. In that case, the designation is automatic.

As the show unfolded, the process started sorting itself out and was well received by all. No doubt the fancy’s enthusiasm will continue to grow as the Series is better understood and more questions are answered. For example, I have a personal question to date unanswered. Both the wonderful young lady who lives with us and I share the joy of a specials dog that we take turns in handling. We have co-owned him all along and never knew we would become eligible for this competitive Series. So my question is: If there are two co-owners who both handle the dog on different occasions, how does that impact the individual dog’s record in the OH Series?

And of course the entire professional handlers’ identification process has been somewhat of a grey area since the AKC ceased licensing handlers decades ago.

It comes as a surprise to many modern fanciers to know that there was a time when AKC monitored animal husbandry, kennel facilities, show set-ups, and the professionalism of all who charged money to show dogs. After Harold Correll received AKC handlers’ license #1 all those years ago, AKC was on top of the profession for decades until litigation and threats of same drove the powersthat-be out of the arena in the latter part of the 20th Century. This occurred much to the chagrin of many long time dogmen and women who are and were icons in our sport.

Yet change is always with us-in our world of dogs and in the world in general. So as we proceed with the OwnerHandler competition, let us hope it will entice more people to get involved in our sport!

As for the BBE competition, my heart is with this area as no one in our sport contributes more than the breeder. The breeder is the soul of the sport of dogs.

My late friend Corky Vroom called the breeder “the wind beneath the wings of our sport.” This true professional was

Inside The Sport

18 Dog News

honored with Handler of the Year accolades repeatedly during his long and productive career and was one who totally understood the significance of the breeder.

In my youth all those years ago, these were the classes offered by AKC: Puppy (usually just 6-12 months but sometimes divided); Novice (eligible until three blues in this class); Limited (I think an individual could win six blues in this class) American-bred and Open.

Because so many quality dogs were imported following World War II, these classes were formatted to enable all areas of competition an entry into Winners to compete for the coveted championship points. The substitution of the Bred by Exhibitor Class for the Limited Class thrilled all who took pride in their progeny. Starting in 1951 when I registered my first litter of Elkhounds, breeding was the most important part of the purebred dog equation to me. Nothing is more inspiring than the new babies, and to this day I hope the best dog I will ever breed is in the next litter!

Sadly, the breeding aspect of the sport is in decline due to many factors beyond our control. At the same time I am disappointed that more good people in our sport are not willing to make the sacrifices necessary to participate in the breeding process. If there is any high that exceeds the smell of puppy breath, I don’t know what it is. So I truly applaud any club that recognizes and honors the breeders with incentives such as Best BBE in Show!

So in the final analysis, are extra BIS honors too much of a good thing? I still do not have a definitive answer to that question. In Australia there is a BIS at every class level. It would be akin to having a Best 6-9 in Show; a Best 9-12 in Show; 12-18 in Show, Novice, AOH, BBE, AmBred and Open as well as the regular BIS and perhaps even Best Veteran in Show. There are a number of ideas from the past such as Best Local in Show (only amateurs living within 50 miles of the show eligible) that might be worth resurrecting. This would be especially appealing to small, isolated clubs that could reach out to potential local dog owners and expand their membership base and support system. Although we sometimes feel we are trying to make it too easy for mediocrity to be rewarded, it might very well be that anything that contributes to our cause is worth considering!

question week

BY MATTHEW H. STANDER

This past week-end an allbreed show was held which offered on the same day both Best Bred by Exhibitor and Best Owner-Handler Classes. Do you think this is redundant or a good idea?

Joe purkhiser I don’t know if it is redundant or not, but it is possible to have a bit of overlap. I guess the bottom line is that if the show giving club thinks it is a good idea, it is their ball game...No matter what the rest of us think.

Georjean jensen I think it is a good idea! It is not at all redundant. Many in Owner-handler class did not breed their dog. Having both classes gives more options to the exhibitor.

the

of the

Steve & alice lawrence Huh? When did this rule change? Having inquired in the past about running more than one “special attraction” at any given show, we were always told, “only one special attraction per day.” One could say, “the more the merrier.” That would be true if the special attractions were for different dogs -- say, puppies and veterans on the same day (how cute is that?). But when you have the owner handler event along with bred-by, puppy or veteran you run the risk of one dog dominating the events to the point of exhaustion and confusion for both dog and handler. Look at it this way: it is very possible that a bred-by dog wins the breed and if the bred-by exhibitor qualifies, the entrant would also automatically win the owner-handler award. Then it goes on to the bred-by group, the owner-handler group and the regular group. That dog could potentially also win all three of those groups, would then go on to compete in all three applicable best in show rings. I am breathless thinking about it... Both for the dog and the handler. Further it is a scheduling nightmare to be able to assure that none of these groups and best in show competitions (all in one day) do not overlap and that the happy(?) winner can get to all the events -- Not to mention having the judges in the right rings at the right times. When is enough enough? In our opinion, the owner-handler event should only be held at a show if no other “special attraction” is offered.

Pat trotter This is a complicated question because (as I understand it) the best ownerhandler program has two connotations: 1) Best owner-handler in the regular OH classes or 2))best owner-handler entered in the entire breed-including specials.

We first encountered the latter at the Trenton Kennel Club two weeks ago, and it seemed to work fine once judges and stewards understood it all. Of course I truly love the BBE program and always have-dating back to the days when AKC replaced the old “limit class” with it. As far as having two “best” categories for one show, it might depend on the size of the venue, the size of the show and the entry.

Certainly I favor anything that would pump new blood into our sport, and at the same time think some things are redundant. I guess the best answer is to try it and see how it works.

Paul reilly I think it’s a good idea.

Janet york I think it would have been better to have best puppy along with best owner- handler. The timing of these classes should have been better thought out so people weren’t waiting around so that there would be no confusion when each set of groups would be showing. The owner handler classes could have been held before the group conformation judging began and the puppy groups could be in the same order as the conformation groups but following each group.

Having best bred by and owner handler was redundant as so many of us have bred the dogs that we owner handled which put some in three Groups, others in two groups and or in one group.

John mandeville Best bred by exhibitor is fine with me. It’s about the dogs and their breeders. I hate owner-handler classes and would never offer them at any level.

PAM MANDEVILLE It’s probably redundant but I am fine with clubs trying things to see how they work. I see nothing wrong with exhibitors having multiple opportunities to compete… that’s what’s made agility successful. Like anything else…if exhibitors don’t want to enter, no one is making them.

Valerie seeley While there may occasionally be an overlap with individuals eligible for both groups, a quick review of entries in this specific show indicated only 7 individuals entered in both events - three of whom were entered with different dogs. Fortythree exhibitors were awarded AOH and Continued on page 58

correct head shape, balance and eye placement, the expression will never be right- and small beady eyes which is seen far too often, is untypical! If only one vital part of the dog is untypical can the entire dog still be of the correct type?? Not in my opinion!

What you usually look for next is of course the overall picture, balance and topline, tailset etc. Then you move them- and you will particularly in “stacked” breeds sometimes see a totally different picture than what you just saw!

The long neck disappearing in somewhere between the shoulders, joining the rest of the back (where it belonged in the first place)!!- the topline sagging or roaching, the tailset going up or down etc. This of course makes you realize how clever these handlers are, but of course when on the move, most defects and shortcomings are being revealed!

So a dog that at first looked to be well within the standard can on the move immediately fall outside the lines of “tolerance”!

Naturally a typical dog can still have faults. The perfect dog has not yet been born according to what I’ve heard. (Although I have personally encountered a few that came pretty close. Sadly not belonging to me!!)

It is very difficult to get a standard reply from even experienced judges of a breed, which faults are acceptable and which faults are so serious that they make a dog untypical?

Head, expression, balance and bone must of course be right! Then what about movement? Can a Bobtail looking perfect standing, but moving like a GSD be described as typey? A Fox Terrier with a short foreface, a Scottie with a neck like a swan, a Greyhound with bone like a Great Dane, and English Cocker with small beady eyes and no stop, to mention but a few, are all outside the line of acceptance for me. The reason I mention just these breeds is that I very recently saw dogs with these features in the group rings!

Whenever I talk about my own breeds I normally stress the importance of my own “pet hates” which of course might deviate considerably from other breeders’ points of view. My views may possibly be influenced by problems I have encountered myself along the way, but I think those of us who have been seriously involved in certain breeds, with enough success to be worthwhile listening to, owe our breeds to campaign and promote what we think is the right way to go.

In today’s world the breed experts on judging panels are fewer and fewer, we see more and more judging based on silhouettes, toplines and movement. A long neck, short back, level topline and long striding movement seems to be today’s most important ticket for success. Regardless of what the standard requirements are.

babbling

uring my time in this sport, I don’t think there has been any subject more frequently discussed than TYPE! What really is breed type, how do you define it, how do you explain it?

To me TYPE always been like an abstraction, but still very tangible! Doesn’t make sense does it?

Is there any expression used more frequently by judges to explain what they just “did” in the ring?

Wasn’t my TYPE! End of argument, because everybody knows that you are entitled to your own perception and idea about what the correct type is.

One of my early heroes in the Terrier World was the pro handler Ernie Sharpe, I spent hours and hours watching him work and still felt sure that you could hand him any hairy animal of the right size- and he could create a terrier of his choice out of it!

An unbelievable talent!

Of course I listened to every word coming out of his mouth, but once we discussed TYPE he tried to convince me that within each breed there could only be ONE correct and acceptable TYPE! To me at the time, that made perfect sense and was totally logical!

But then I started judging! And gradually I found out that even within my own breeds there were such varieties of types that sticking to one type was impossible and if you did, so many excellent dogs would be eliminated…

Well, I know it sounds like a paradox: How can a dog you don’t think is the ideal type still be an excellent dog???

Very difficult to explain, but in most breeds you will find that even amongst the most successful breeders there will be variations in type as well as other significant parts of their dogs. And as I don’t believe I’m God, I don’t think I am entitled to condemn other peoples choices!

But then back to the start: How do you define and identify type???

Haven’t we all heard so many expert judges declare: First and foremost I look for the correct type. Can you decide type completely when a dog is standing or stacked??

I am not so sure, movement is such a vital part of the entire package for so many breeds. Could an Afghan, Ibizan, Fox Terrier or a Bobtail with movement like a GSD ever be considered typical?? I personally don’t think so!

When you start judging, the dogs are normally standing or stacked! Is it possible during the initial walk along the line possible to identify type?

So many of my mentors have stressed the importance of head and expression- and I agree. It is the first part of the dog you see and if that’s not up to par, the dog will probably not do well. I just reread the English Cocker (ECSA’s) illustrated standard where the one and only Annie Clarke describes what is the desired type for that breed .

What really surprised and disappointed me was that there is no mention of eye shape and expression. Without the

One of the ingredients that makes dog shows and judging so exciting and interesting is of course the fact that we all see things differently and have our different areas of priority, but as I have said so many times before: I hope ignorance and incompetence will never be allowed to create fashion!

Personally I would love to attend a seminar where the only theme was TYPE. Could make an interesting weekend!

BY CONNIE VANACORE The big news to come out of the AKC Board meeting of May 7 & 8 is the fact that the Board voted to reduce the number of stand-alone Board meetings so that four meetings would be stand-alone and four held in conjunction with the Delegates’ meetings.

T

Connie’s

his would still maintain the current schedule of eight meetings and fifteen meeting days. This would conform to the Bylaws, which require that the Board meets eight times a year. The new schedule will begin with the July 2012 meeting, which will be held on July 9-10 (Monday and Tuesday.)

There will be no August meeting. September 11-12 (Tuesday and Wednesday) following the Delegates’ meeting would be next. October 22-23 (Monday and Tuesday) following Meet the Breeds in New York City. There is no meeting scheduled for November. December 12 would be the last meeting of the year, following the AKC Eukanuba show in Florida.

This schedule will allow more time for preparation by Staff and more time to evaluate some of the decisions made at prior Board meetings. It will also eliminate four Board meeting expenses for the year.

There were several items on the agenda that dealt with Pointing breed field trials. The most interesting is the approval of the Board for an annual AKC Pointing Breed National Walking Gun Dog Championship event. This will complement, but not replace, the annual AKC Gun Dog Championship trial. Since most championship trials held for Pointing Dogs are held on grounds that almost mandate that handlers are on horseback, the walking stakes should be a welcome addition to that aspect of the sport.

In other performance-related moves, the Board approved recognition of three North American Flyball Association titles, with the provision that all dogs must be registered or listed with AKC. Yorkshire Terriers were approved to enter Earth Dog tests. No mention was made of whether top knot bows are permitted underground. The Peruvian Inca Orchid was granted permission to participate in AKC Lure Coursing events.

Discussion was held about territorial rights and obligations of clubs. This involves the matters of exclusivity, longevity and jurisdiction of the sites involved. A motion considering this topic is to be presented to the Delegates at the September Delegates’ meeting.

The item on the agenda that engendered the most comment on the Delegates email lists was the matter of reserving grooming space at AKC shows. The new regulation would require clubs

to set aside an area that is reserved for grooming. That area must be reasonable for the size of the show. At least 50% of this space must be available for exhibitors including “day of event” exhibitors. That portion of the grooming area must be designated as unpaid grooming space. Clubs will still have the right to charge for reserved grooming areas for multiple day shows, or for clubs sharing a common venue over several days.

One can see that this dictum from the Board can cause some resentment and confusion on the part of clubs, as well as handlers with dogs, whether professional or not.

Professional handlers might have to add fees for electrical hook-ups and grooming space to their basic charges (if they don’t already). Exhibitors with one or two dogs might have to add in fees if they wish to reserve space in advance. One might compare that to going to the theatre.

You can pay hundreds of dollars for front row center, or far less for the peanut gallery.

It will be interesting to see how this policy plays out at the Eukanuba show. As a spectator it has surprised me that the grooming area has been so crowded and basically unregulated, so far as safety and comfort is concerned.

This will be especially pertinent this year, as the entry will undoubtedly be much larger with class dogs invited. The facility is large enough to be able to accommodate an anticipated huge entry, but the logistics of getting from point A to point B could be difficult. If the split venue at last year’s Westminster is any indication, handlers will certainly have to bring along extra help at these shows.

In other business, Board member and Chair of the Judges’ Approval Committee, Dr. Bob Smith, reminded the Board that Parent clubs be reminded of their prerogatives to recommend that a member of the club be approved as a judge of their breed. In order to do this a club must have been recognized by AKC for ten years. The applicant must have twenty years in the breed and have been a member of that Parent club for at least ten years. In a surprising (at least to this writer) move, Parent Clubs may invite someone who is not an AKC approved judge to judge its specialty shows. I would imagine this would primarily apply to foreign judges, though the minutes do not reflect that.

The Annual Report of the American Kennel Club in 2011 was distributed to the Delegates in March. As usual, it is a beautifully put together document, whose overall motto for this issue is “The Good Things We Do.” In addition to the obligatory financial data is a chronicle of all aspects of the sport in which AKC is involved. It covered everything from events, to search and rescue, recovery, canine health, lifetime achievements, breeders of merit, and outreach to the public. Chief among the latter are Meet the Breeds convocations, therapy dog citations, canine partners, kennel inspections and outreach to student groups such as 4H and junior showmanship.

This month’s Chairman’s report was the second from newly elected AKC Chairman Alan Kalter. It was another well-crafted, interesting report. It would be an excellent article for your club’s newsletter or magazine to highlight what AKC does for our breeders and owners. You can find it on the AKC website.

Historic Annual General Meeting of the Kennel Club 2012 IN THE UK The Kennel Club held a momentous and historic Annual General Meeting last week that saw members advance the change whereby the Kennel Club will become a company limited by guarantee, amongst a number of other key decisions related to dog showing and registrations.

T

he meeting, which lasted until 4.30pm on Wednesday 16th May, contained discussions about the implementation of a two tiered registration system and a vote to increase registration fees by £2, which will enable the Kennel Club to continue running schemes and events that will continue support responsible breeders in improving the health and wellbeing of dogs.

Speaking about the Annual General Meeting, Kennel Club Chairman Professor Steve Dean said: “The membership of the Kennel Club made a historic and important decision at the AGM that will make a difference to the operational success of the Kennel Club. We will continue our work to ensure the Kennel Club maintains its leadership in preserving the future of the pedigree dog. More importantly, alongside the responsible dog breeders that we represent we will continue to strive for the improvement of dog health and welfare for all types of dog. The change for the Kennel Club in becoming a company limited by guarantee and the small increase in registration fees will all help to achieve these aims.

“There were strong feelings expressed both for and against the vet checks but members have resolved to support the continuation of the checks, which sends out a strong message about our commitment to ensuring that winning show dogs are healthy examples of their breed. This is particularly important considering the prominence that dog showing will be given now that Channel 4 is considering televising Best in Show at Crufts 2013. The various and challenging views raised by members will not be ignored and will form part of the discussions about how this process evolves in the future. We do need to have in place a system which unites us and of which we are all proud of.

“Outside of the show ring, the Kennel Club is confident in its registration system and the part it plays in helping to improve dog health and welfare. We hold a vast record of the genealogy of dogs which is an important basis for developing genetic and clinical tests that will improve breed health. However, we are

42 Dog News

determined that this must be balanced with the need to ensure that puppy farmers are not included, and do not tarnish, the reputation of the Kennel Club registration system.

This is why we now ask high volume breeders to produce a copy of their Local Authority Breeding Licence before they register and we prioritise our Assured Breeder visits towards high volume breeders so that they are inspected regularly.

“We want to celebrate the dog breeders that register with the Kennel Club and we welcome the discussion at the AGM which has ignited a renewed approach towards ensuring that people can feel proud of their pedigree dog.”

The following issues were raised at the Kennel Club Annual General Meeting: Company Limited by Guarantee The meeting saw members vote to approve the new articles of association and rules which will be used to move the Kennel Club forward as a company limited by guarantee. This was agreed in principle in a Special General Meeting in November 2011 and members have provided feedback to the Kennel Club throughout the process of drafting the new rules.

The move was hailed as historic by Kennel Club Chairman, Steve Dean, as it will attune the Kennel Club to best practice to ensure that it is in fit shape for the challenges ahead.

Veterinary Checks at Dog Shows After a lengthy discussion members voted by 92 to 56 against a motion to suspend the veterinary checks at dog shows, which was proposed Mr Glyn Payne. The veterinary checks were introduced for the fifteen high profile breeds at Crufts 2012, to ensure that dogs winning Best of Breed prizes at Group and General Championship shows pass a veterinary examination that demonstrates that their conformation is not detrimentally affecting their health, before their awards are confirmed.

Although there was support for continuing the principle of veterinary checks varying views were expressed about how the process should be implemented. Some members expressed the belief that all dogs

should be health tested before they are shown, whilst others felt it was impractical to test all dogs at a dog show and that veterinary reports delivered by individual vets prior to a show would no longer be valid when the show comes around.

Some members also expressed the view that veterinary checks should be extended to more breeds or that other breeds should be randomly selected for checks. Dr Ruth Barbour explained that the 15 breeds selected were not picked at random but were pinpointed by the European Convention for the Protection of Pet Animals, as being particularly at risk of health problems as a result of their conformation.

Members voted to retain the vet checks but Chairman Steve Dean said that the views raised at the AGM would be taken to General Committee and a wider consultation would be instigated to decide how the vet checks should evolve.

Televising Crufts Crufts Chairman Gerald King, confirmed that Channel 4 was considering televising Best in Show on Sunday night, due to the success of ratings on More4 this year, which saw more than 2.7 million viewers tune in, making it one of the channel’s most popular shows. It was also announced that Eukanuba has signed a three year deal that will see it become a principle sponsor for Crufts and Discover Dogs, helping the Kennel Club to continue delivering a world class event.

Two-tier registration There was also a lengthy discussion about the Kennel Club registration system whether there should be a two tiered system, with one tier including more stringent health testing requirements for those who breed and show dogs. Mrs Judith RobinSmith, who proposed the motion, also suggested that there should be a KC pedigree provided for all KC registered dogs to limit the potential for fakes.

Bill Lambert from the Kennel Club, explained that the thinking behind the Assured Breeder Scheme is to give a two-tiered service and it was also stated, by member Ronnie Irving, that a more inclusive registration system, with a higher tier existing within the Assured Breeder Scheme, ensures that a more comprehensive record of data is kept that will help to improve dog health, whilst enabling the Kennel Club to influence and educate breeders to follow the standards of the Assured Breeders Scheme. It was agreed that the proposal would be discussed at General Committee and Chairman Steve Dean said that he would suggest a wider consultation on the issue, to seek the views of a broad range of interested parties .

Registration fees It was also agreed that registration fees would be increased by £2, from £13 to £15, in order to support the Kennel Club’s large volume of work. This means that registration fees have increased by £3 in the last ten years.

A

dd Cincinnati, Ohio to the list of canine legislation successes in 2012. Last Wednesday, the Cincinnati City Council voted 8-1 to repeal the city’s breedspecific laws, which banned the ownership, transfer, sale or harboring of any “pit bull terrier” (defined as Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier or any mixed-breed containing one of these breeds) within city limits. The breed-specific ban had been in effect for 25 years, but the amendment sponsored by Councilman Chris Seelbach will “remove any and all breed-specific language…in the Cincinnati Municipal Code…” In addition, a task force has also been created to review the city’s animal control code and provide recommendations within 90 days.

This victory is doubly sweet for the dog loving residents of the third largest city in Ohio (behind Columbus and Cleveland), as it comes just three months after Governor John Kasich signed House Bill 14, which removed the term “pit bull” from the state’s definition of “vicious dog” and created new designations of “nuisance” and “dangerous” based on a dog’s behavior instead. Ohio had been the only state in the country to enact statewide breed-specific legislation. Now all dog owners in the state will be held accountable regardless of the breed of dog they own. Kudos to all dog owners, clubs, federations and the American Kennel Club, which was instrumental in rallying its constituents to voice their support to help get these major changes signed into law. BSL has never worked wherever its been enacted; hopefully other municipalities will follow the leads of both Cincinnati and the state of Ohio in recognizing that as well.

On the heels of the recent Diamond Pet Food Recall comes a disturbing report that the number of dogs reportedly sickened by chicken jerky pet treats manufactured in China has risen to nearly 1,000. Since November, the Food and Drug Administration has logged 900 reports of illnesses and deaths from chicken jerky products sold as treats, strips or nuggets. Problems reported ranged from vomiting and diarrhea to kidney failure and other ailments after dogs had reportedly consumed these products. FDA inspectors have toured the Chinese plants that make the jerky treats but earlier this week a

Offthe

spokeswoman said that no results of those reviews were available. Brands of chicken jerky cited by pet owners and veterinarians in complaints include Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch brands produced by Nestle Purina PetCare Co. and Milo’s Kitchen Home-style Dog Treats, produced by the Del Monte Corp. and msnbc.com reports that “Import data compiled by the firm ImportGenius showed that Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch treats are produced and supplied by JOC Great Wall Corp. Ltd. of Nanjing, China.” The manufacturers claim that their products are safe and any illnesses are unrelated to them.

The Waggin’ Train Brand has a dedicated web page (www. waggintrainbrand.com/Safe) to address the issue, which includes a Q and A, a portion of which is reprinted here: Q: What did the recent FDA statements say about chicken jerky treats?

A: On Nov. 18, 2011, and again on March 9, 2012, the FDA issued a chicken jerky treat update regarding a possible association with illness in dogs. Both updates clearly state that after extensive testing, scientists have been unable to determine a definitive cause for the reported illnesses. The FDA has been quite clear about this. According to the FDA, samples collected from all over the United States have been tested for a wide variety of substances and no contaminant has been found. In addition, FDA continues to emphasize that many of the reported illnesses may be the result of causes other than eating chicken jerky.

Both FDA notices include a reminder that dog treats should be fed as treats, not as a pet’s sole source of nutrition. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends feeding jerky treats in small quantities, and notes this is especially important for small-breed dogs. Any time a consumer believes a pet may be ill, they should consult their veterinarian.

Q: Did the FDA mention Waggin’ Train products in its statement?

A: The FDA’s updates from November 18, 2011 and March 9, 2012 referenced chicken jerky treats from China, but did not specify Waggin’ Train, or any other brand. Subsequent media sto-

ries have identified specific brand names that FDA has conducted testing on, including Waggin’ Train and Canyon Creek Ranch.

The FDA posted the following Q&A statement about the results of those tests:“Samples collected from all over the United States have been tested for a wide variety of substances and to date, scientists have not been able to determine a definitive cause for the reported illnesses.”

JoNel Aleccia also reports on msnbc.com this alarming tidbit: “…representatives from Milo’s Kitchen confirmed that the firm has paid at least one owner who complained about a sick dog $100 in exchange for a release of all liability.” A spokeswoman for the firm confirmed the $100 “goodwill gesture” even though treats submitted by the unidentified pet owner were evaluated and “the veterinarian consultant concluded the symptoms experienced by the pet were not related to consuming Milo’s Kitchen chicken jerky treats.”

So many troubling questions have been raised by these incidents without providing any definitive answers. Despite repeated testings, the FDA can find no toxin present in the treats, so the question remains, why are so many dog owners reporting illnesses and deaths in their pets? Why are dog owners still taking the chance by feeding these treats when other alternatives are available? Has the public been sufficiently alerted? Also disturbing is the report of manufacturers providing “goodwill gestures” despite the lack of evidence; should consumers be allowed any remuneration without any tangible evidence of contamination?

Are the amounts determined on a case-by-case basis? If so, depending on what, the size of the dog? Or the social status, clout and wealth of the dog’s owner? How can a price tag be put on the worth of a dog? Should owners be allowed to seek damages beyond an animal’s market value? Should large corporations be allowed to assuage customer complaints in such a manner without accepting any further liability? Will the reporting of such activity lead to “copycat” type scenarios where unscrupulous owners seek to extort money from corporations for phantom or perceived illnesses in their pets? Can large corporations buy the silence of consumers in lieu of shutting down operations to voluntary look for the sources of possible contamination? We’ve become such a litigious society —and a desperate one in many depressed areas still affected by the prolonged recession— that one wonders if some opportunists would sacrifice their integrity or the health and welfare of their pets for the sake of getting rich quick or receiving even a modest handout. The recent spate of ‘dog flipping’ stories leads one to believe that any type of fraud is possible in this day and age.

With the past melamine, cyanuric acid and aminopterin contamination in Chinese pet food processing plants that caused renal and kidney failure and pet deaths, which resulted in the massive Menu Foods recall in 2007, there’s obvious reason for legitimate concern on the part of pet owners. It must be stressed that this is NOT a voluntary recall, nor has the presence of any toxin been confirmed. Further complicating matters is the fact that it’s difficult for the FDA to investigate companies outside the U.S. and it can’t ban the jerky treats without a specific reason or explanation. Consumers are urged to use caution when feeding treats of any kind and to watch their pets carefully for any signs of illness. Should any symptoms arise, owners should get their pets to a veterinarian immediately and report their findings. Pet owners should also acclimate themselves with a tool launched two years ago by the FDA and the National Institutes of Health for reporting safety data, which can be found at https://www.safetyreporting.hhs.gov/safety.

Westminster Kennel Club Judges’ Panel for 2013 MICHAEL DOUGHERTY OF ESCONDIDO, CALIFORNIA IS WESTMINSTER’S BEST IN SHOW JUDGE FOR 2013

n his more than 50 years in the sport of dogs, Michael J. Dougherty has done just about everything one can do.

In 2013, he will be able to add to that list the ultimate honor in the ultimate event in the sport of dogs: judging Best In Show at the 137th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on February 11-12.

As a second generation dog show person and a second generation all breed professional handler, Mr. Dougherty competed at Westminster for many years as a junior handler, owner-handler, and professional handler. He won a number of Bests of Breed here over the years.

Mr. Dougherty becomes only the second Westminster Best In Show judge to have competed at Westminster in Junior Showmanship (the other was Sari Tietjen in 2009).

He started with his family in purebred dogs in 1961. He became a professional handler in 1974 and soon attained all-breed status, following in the steps of his father, Jack Dougherty.

While concentrating on handling, he also bred and owned, with his family, Whippets, Miniature Schnauzers, Smooth Fox Terriers, and Keeshonden. As a professional handler, he guided the careers of many top winning dogs, including Best in Show-winning Whippets and Bichons Frise.

In 1985, he retired from professional handling to devote his time to judging.

A graduate of United States International University in San Diego, Mr. Dougherty has been in the public relations and publishing industry for over 25 years. Presently he heads Dougherty & Associates Public Relations, an independent PR and marketing agency. He has represented and worked with such luminaries as Gore Vidal, Maya Angelou, Joseph Wambaugh, Tom Wolfe, Robert Ludlum, Larry King, Donald Trump, Dick Morris, Sidney Sheldon, Judith Krantz, James Clavell, Richard Reeves, Nancy Reagan, M. Scott Peck, William Manchester, Dick Cavett, Timothy Leary, Irwin Shaw, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Dr. Robert Atkins, Rex Reed, Ben Stein, and Alvin Toffler, among others.

Mr. Dougherty heads a panel of 43 judges from 18 states and three foreign countries presiding over the dog world’s most prestigious event.

LONG ISLAND SHOWS, TKC, AKC, MR. IRVING...

uite a lot transpired within the last 10 days not the least of which was the vote of the Annual General Membership (hereinafter referred to as the AGM) of the Kennel Club in the UK to continue a modified form of testing of the so-called 15 high profile breeds at ALL dog shows in the UK. The actual vote was deceptive with 92 members voting to continue the testing and 54 against the concept. Taking into account that there were a total of 322 members at the meeting when it began fully 174 people either abstained or left before the vote was taken. This means of course that approximately only 30% or thereabouts of the Members present were recorded as being in favor of the continuation. Apparently the vote was taken very late in the day— This may have accounted for the comparatively few people remaining. Just as with our own Delegates people leave in droves as the day progresses but I am happy to say that our Delegates never to my recollection ever permitted such a minority figure to rule the day over such a key and vital and controversial question. One can’t help but wonder whether or not the lateness of the vote was premeditated in order to get a desired result-which I am certain will be flatly denied.

In any event for those of you who care I happen to be a member of the Kennel Club and had I attended the Meeting, which unfortunately I could not. I would have voted negatively and argued with the minority against these types of health tests at dog shows! Notwithstanding the way in which I would have voted I strongly question TKC for waiting a full week before publishing or even acknowledging the results of the meeting. Its response is printed elsewhere in this issue. The response time was unacceptable to me as was the failure of any member of the General Committee to stand up and support the testing concept. This was left to former GC members Ruth Barbour and Ronnie Irving who of course were the chief proponents of the idea with which to begin. More on that aspect to come. Let’s face it the vote was anything but decisive and indicates a deep unhappiness with the manner in which the powers that be in the UK handled this issue.

And I write this despite my own forebodings about aspects of the Canine Alliance (hereinafter referred to as CA) and how they have apparently turned a one-issue matter into a vendetta against one of the greatest dog organizations in the world.

Now then as far as I know this whole testing idea arose under the auspices and in the days of the Irving GC. And while my friend Ronnie ruled the GC with what I heard was an iron hand it was a fair hand and his word was virtually the final say. His chief architect for the testing plan was I believe Dr. Barbour, a most respected but I thought misguided individual insofar as this testing and other breeding theories are concerned. I never liked the way the foundation for testing was introduced with which to begin.

I thought the idea of singling out 14 or 15 breeds entirely inappropriate. However as time progressed the Irving people became more realistic towards the needs of the constituents and little by little revised many of the original ideas in order to allay the fears and to meet the needs of the show goers and concerned breeders. By the time Crufts rolled around I thought that with Ronnie gone and Dr. Dean at the head the role of the breed clubs in this testing matter had evolved greatly. But I was wrong, as Dr. Dean’s implementation of the breed testing was a literal rather than Continued on page 133

THE LIGHTER SIDE...

phoned JVegas. “Hey JVegas it’s Michael…..

Yes, I am here and all is well…..OK, meet me down stairs and I will drive to Ss. Lobster in my sporty convertible,” I remember saying. JVegas and I crawled into the sleek, fast machine. I put that sweet little car in reverse and remember gliding forward to Ss. Lobster going much faster than I normally would have driven. JVegas and I spent the short drive quickly catching up on details of each other’s lives. I whipped the car into the parking lot of Ss. Lobster, turned off the ignition and lifted myself up and out of the small sports car. To my amazement, I looked at the wheels of the car. “OMG – The tires are on fire!!!” screamed JVegas. “Holy S@*$$#) --WHAT THE HELL HAVE I DONE?” I remember saying audibly. The wheel wells and rims were glowing fire red, looking to explode at any minute. With the sports car ready to catch fire and JVegas and I both perplexed, we did what any two men with no auto mechanical background would have done---we went inside Ss. Lobster, ordered our dinner, a drink and prayed for the best upon our return.

After two hours, JVegas and I returned to our car happy to take note that it had not caught fire and the wheels did not explode or melt. I remember entering the car for our return to the Marriott and finding I had driven the speed-demon the entire distance with the emergency brake fully engaged.

Upon landing at Boston Logan for my St. Patrick’s Day Gundog Weekend, I am thrilled knowing DOT will be arriving shortly and I will not be renting a car or driving to Fitchburg. Truth be told---any chance I can get out of driving and or riding in a car ---I do it!

I meet DOT at baggage claim, instantly taking note of the black case over her left shoulder containing her CPAC machine.

Remembering my past experiences with her breathing device, I choose to say nothing. DOT and I board the rental car shuttle, collect the Silver Dodge Charger rental (I chuckle inside, never imagining DOT in a Charger!), activate my DROID navigational system, and head to Fitchburg.

We arrive at our destination after one hour and forty-five minutes of driving. Cold rain welcomes us to the Marriott. DOT and I collect our luggage, enter through side doors and proceed to the check-in counter.

DOT hands over her confirmation letter and in a matter of minutes is handed her electronic, coded-key entrance card. “Don’t wait for me---go get yourself settled and I will call you when I get situated in my room,” I share, while waiting for Marcia (Hotel Desk Clerk) to confirm my reservation made by MS. GY. “Sir, could the reservation be under another name?” Marcia inquires. “No, MS. GY, the Hospitality Chair for the NESGA, made the reservation. It should be for two nights--Friday and Saturday evenings,” I add. “Nothing…I cannot find you anywhere,” Marcia continues to articulate. “Wait just a minute and I will call MS. GY and find out what the problem is.” Droid informs me MS. GY is not available. “Well, do you have a master list of club members and judges staying at the hotel?” I ask. “I do – here take a look and see if you can make sense of it,” Marcia offers while handing me the list. I immediately take notice of MS.GY’s name, Show Chairperson MS. CC’s name and several others. “Yep, this is my team. My name is not on their master list. “Don’t worry. I have plenty of rooms and I will offer you the same contract rate 54 Dog News

quoted to the club.” Marcia imparts in a comforting tone. Collecting my electronic coded-key card, I take the elevators to the second floor, locate room number 231, unpack my clothes, toss on a sweater and send MS. GY a text message: I have checked into the hotel. They had no record of a reservation in my name. They had extra rooms, so there was no problem getting a room. The clerk and I double-checked the list and no name. The rate they gave me is 65.00 plus taxes per night. Thanks, Michael. I hit send and immediately tap DOT’s name which is programmed into my DROID. “DOT---I’m starving. I know a great local shack down the road a bit called Ss. Lobster.

Let’s go there for lunch.” DOT manages the Dodge Charger with ease and pulls into Ss. Lobster’s parking lot. Cautiously, I exit the rental car, examining both the front and rear tires, relieved to see the wheels are not glowing red-hot… ready to explode. DOT and I enter the small, local restaurant. We both order Lobster, a cold bottle of beer and find an empty booth at the far end of the long narrow eating establishment.

Cold, wet, and starving, we spend little time conversing and apply our energies directly into our culinary delight.

Cold rain continues to fall. We return to the Marriott. “DOT – Thanks for driving and I am going to rest a bit – Oh, hang on.” DROID rings. “Hi MS. GY – You must be kidding….I checked into the wrong hotel…No way…well…I will call the other hotel and cancel my reservation…OK…sorry for the mix up…

Yep…look at it this way…this room is much cheaper than the other one…Yes, please pick me up for dinner.

“OMG – DOT can you believe I checked into the wrong hotel? I had no idea this was not the hotel used for the judges. Oh well, I am thrilled not to have to be shuttled early in the morning,” I smugly share.

“Too funny!” DOT remarks. “Ooooh Kaaay, I’m going back to my room to read, relax and take a hot bath,“ she adds. “Sounds like a plan…I will probably do the same, throw in a nap and make sure I do not screw up the club’s dinner plans. I’ll check in upon my return from dinner, if it’s not too late,” I say, ending our conversation as I exit the elevator on floor number two. DOT continues to floor number four.

Four hours and thirty-eight minutes later, MS. GY phones informing me of her arrival. We greet each other in the lobby and walk to her massive, large, new, white truck waiting to transport me to the hotel (where I was supposed to be staying) to meet my fellow colleagues for the first of two club dinners. “Tell me, is this your everyday vehicle? My God, a family of four could live comfortably in this truck,” I comment, watching MS. GY chuckle while swinging the monster truck into the entrance of the hotel / restaurant. Climbing out and jumping down, I head to the restaurant entrance after taking a quick peek at the truck tires. “Not red and not on fire.”

Greeting us in the bar area are MS. CC, MS. PEPHIL, LovelySD, BettyT, MS. EJL, MS. MLO, MS. PAM, and MS. Brown from Scotland, among other club members and judges. “So good to see you,” I say while giving a big hug to MS. PEPHIL and then spreading my arms and good wishes to all the ladies in waiting.

Spending most of the pre-dinner cocktail hour explaining my hotel mix-up, we settle in for a wonderful dinner. Sitting directly across from me is Show Chairperson MS.CC, to my right---MS. PEPHIL, to my left---the ever-entertaining Lab Lady, MS. PAM, across and to MS. CC’s right is BettyT and to her left sits MS. EJL. Our end of the table remains in a constant state of chatter, laughter and fun throughout the entire evening. “WOW – I had no idea club dinners could be this much fun,” I silently process in my head while ordering a cup of coffee for dessert.

The evening ends on a high note. MS. CC makes additional room in her Black Mercedes Wagon to facilitate transporting me back to the Marriott, where she and MS. GY are also staying. I exit the rear passenger right side-door, thrilled to notice the tires are still not glowing. “Good night ladies – thanks for a wonderful evening,” I declare as the elevator door shuts. Too late to call DOT! After phoning Marcia for a 6:00 am wake-up call, I go directly to bed.

St. Patrick’s Day, Saturday, March 17th, 2012 starts promptly with Marcia’s call from the front desk. Dressed in subtle shades of green---in fear of being assaulted by exhibitors---I meet DOT in the hotel restaurant for a light breakfast. “Did you notice your judging program?” asks DOT. “Not really” I reply, while pulling it loose from the side pocket of my brief case. “You are literally tossed all day between four different rings. Don’t worry, I took it up myself and made you a simple schedule to keep you on track.”

Relieved by DOT’S generosity and forward thinking, I neatly fold the schedule and place it directly in my shirt pocket for safekeeping and guidance.

DOT and I walk across the parking lot to the show building, arriving a tad early. We enter through the side doors closest to the hotel. I am moved by the attention to details---everything is EMERALD GREEN---flowers, tables, signs, trophies, topiaries and more. I allow myself a brief OBE. Pretending to be Judy Garland in ruby slippers, I proceed to the Emerald City--- called the Judge’s Hospitality Room (JHR)--as DOT turns right to visit with friends. Pushing the curtain aside, I enter the JHR and immediately notice Show Chairman MS. CC dressed in a very chic outfit, accessorized not with ruby red, but PINK slippers.

Fellow Judge, MS. EJL, standing to her immediate left, looks just as lovely and you guessed it, wearing PINK slippers, too. “Good morning, good morning and HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY,” I say while lightly giving each of the two ladies in pink slippers a subtle peck on the cheek.

Judge MS. PEPHIL arrives approximately ten minutes after my entrance. Thrilled MS. PEPHIL is not wearing pink shoes, I am also relieved not to have to make an emergency shopping trip for new pink shoes---knowing full well it would be a real bitch to find pink shoes for large feet in Fitchburg. I collect a cup of coffee, joining the ladies for another cup of morning Joe. We partake in several side conversations having nothing to do with dog shows and MS. PEPHILL and MS. EJL begin discussing a movie they have recently seen. “Oh you know the actor…What’s his name?...

You know… gorgeous older gentleman… single… whom all the ladies love,” states MS. EJL. “Oh ---You gals mean George Clooney… and there are plenty of men who love him, too,” I recall. “Actually, I heard a rumor that the good looking Irish Boy actually is gay and he keeps women around to buttress his acting career,” I boldly share. “You have to be joking!” proclaims MS. EJL. “No, I am serious because I can relate,” I continue, seducing MS. EJL into a deeper conversation. I lower my tone, look directly into her eyes and share, “You see, I am actually straight. I pretend to be gay to strengthen my image as a creative, charming, desirable Dog Show Judge. If I come out of the closet, I fear my assignments will crumble and the Kennel Club will halt giving me new breeds,” I finish, breaking out in hysterical laughter…just as a voice from behind the curtain yells, “FIRE! FIRE! There is a car on fire in the parking lot.” “OMG---Someone forgot to release their emergency parking brake,” I mumble, while moving towards the front entrance to the show building.

We all look out the front doors and notice a grey four-door sedan with smoke billowing out from under the hood. “Call 911---is someone calling 911?” I ask anyone who will listen. Exhibitors are sprinting in multiple directions. Cars and trucks of all makes and shapes, near the smoking sedan, begin moving in numerous directions in fear of the car exploding.

Show Chairperson, MS. CC, takes charge and calls 911. Attached to the wall near the entrance is a red fire extinguisher. I stop and stare. “Should I be Saint Michael---Patron Saint to all service men and woman on this St. Patrick’s Day---and release the extinguisher from its cradle, run out the door and save the smoking sedan from its demise?” I ask myself. The speedy answer---HELL NO! I need to stay focused on the glorious day, the wonderful dogs, the great venue, the dedicated club members, my friend DOT, and I must be thankful for the LUCK OF THE IRISH that the grey four-door sedan is not our rental car.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK Continued FROM page 22

This past week-end an all-breed show was held which offered on the same day both Best Bred by Exhibitor and Best Owner-Handler Classes. Do you think this is redundant or a good idea?

20 received BBE. This statistically insignificant survey would indicate that redundancy is not an issue. Yes, it did take a few minutes longer to get to BIS, but aren’t we trying to involve more exhibitors? In addition, this show had many other events that were specifically designed for the spectator. Today’s spectator may be tomorrow’s owner and/or exhibitor.

Dyane baldwin It is not necessarily redundant as many owner-handlers are not the breeders of their dogs. I am highly in favor of competition that gives more exhibitors a chance to gain success-which helps keep them in the sport. As long as the well being of the dogs is kept in mind (some dogs could be in both); clubs can accommodate the extra events without overly extending the show day; and the interests from exhibitors is there, I think it is up to the clubs to decide what they wish to offer. There is the caveat for small shows- there may not be enough entries eligible for both to make them meaningful in the numbers of dogs competing versus costs.

Peter kubacz I have always had a guilty pleasure for these non regular competitions. I do find my self entering a show with my bred by or puppies if they offer a best in show for them. It allows me some extra ring time with my own dogs for some fun light hearted competition. Lets face it not everyone or every dog is going to have multiple best in show, group, or even breed wins. The average exhibitor who only attends a few shows a year is mostly happy when they go winners, and becomes a champion.

Dreams of breed and group placement wins are high honors for them. These sort of non regular best in shows are a way for people to still be proud of their dogs and win high awards. They also serve as to allow new judges to experience judging a group or best in show level competition. On that note I support these kinds of classes. As far as the redundancy of having both a best bred by and best owner - handler, on the same day, slightly. More than likely the best bred by would probably be the same as the best owner-handler.

However, keep in mind that all bred by exhibitors are owner handled, but not all owner - handled dogs are bred by the exhibitor. So there will be some degree of different dogs involved in each. So happens I was at the show where this occurred, and it seemed to run smoothly. Shows have gotten better about running these non regular groups independently of regular groups. It didn’t seem to hold up the show at all. The field rep and I were having a discussion along the same matters. Both of us agreed it was nice to have something to offer people to strive for much like the grand champions. However, the issue the AKC should promote from this is registrations. This is not an entry 58 Dog News

issue as much as it is about registrations. The revenue, if any, that these sort of classes bring in is minute compared to the money generated when a litter of puppies is registered so that they can compete in them. We need better branding to get new blood into the sport again. The people who are serious about dogs, and breeding, and competing are not leaving, unfortunately they are dying off.

All the different achievements, awards, ribbons won’t mean anything if there is no one around to win them.

Peggy wampold No, I do not think that it is redundant. Entry eligibility for the two is not the same. The bred by exhibitor class is for breeders to show the animals that they have bred, anyone who breeds a dog or bitch and owns it may show in this class including professional handlers and agents. Many owner handlers have not bred their dog, so are ineligible to enter this class. The amateur owner handler class excludes anyone who has taken money for showing a dog. There is a perception amongst many in the sport that they cannot compete and win against the professional handler. I, personally, do not adhere to this belief but recognize that it is there. (Some of the best handlers I have known have been owner handlers who have put the time and effort into developing their handling and grooming skills.) Because of this perception, some exhibitors may feel more comfortable and prefer to enter a class that excludes professional handlers and agents. I am not sure if you are asking about the classes or referring to the new Competition, which has exhibitors indicate on their entry form that the Exhibit will be owner handled (again to be eligible, they can never have accepted money for handling a dog), thus marked in the steward’s book (not the judge’s book) as owner handled and is not a separate class. If a professional handler or agent wins the breed, the owner handler gets the opportunity to be judged again competing against the other owner handled entrants for best of breed owner handled. (The owner handler can win both best of breed and best owner handler, of course they may then have to choose which group they wish to go in depending on the group scheduling.) The winner of the best of breed owner handled then gets a chance to show in the owner handler group and hopefully get the bragging rights to say they won the owner handler group and go on to the owner handled best in show competition.

This gives owner handlers an opportunity to show their dogs in the owner handler group, get a ribbon and have a good time. It also gives them an incentive to stay around the show; maybe they will talk to people and learn from knowledgeable people as they did in years gone by at bench shows. Clubs do not have to offer either of these two classes, nor do they have to offer groups for these classes. It is up to each individual club to decide if they wish to offer these classes and group competition for these classes. This being the case, my opinion is irrelevant. It is what the show chair and club membership wants to offer at their show that is important. If it increases entries and increases interest in dog shows, I think it is great. Only time will tell on this, but I personally think we should try it. In my humble opinion, with the current economy, we need to do everything we can to encourage people to want to show and to make it a fun experience. I also think we have to be open to trying new ideas and keeping shows viable so people who are new to the sport want to try it, hopefully like it, and will continue in the sport and veterans of the sport will continue to exhibit and stay active.

Salzburg – A Bit Story and photos by Yossi Guy

A

second fantastic win for a beautiful dog – the Saluki that went BIS at the European Winner in Slovenia, 2010, was placed first at the World Winner Show in Salzburg 2012. Reserve BIS was a top-winning Corgi Pembroke from Russia. Despite the fact approximately 18,000 dogs were entered – it appears the same dogs somehow manage to rise to the top, and this is not to say they are undeserving.

The lights were dimmed in the Arena at the Salzburg exhibition center. The ten group winners waited anxiously behind the scenes. Dr. Tamas Jakkel, a Hungarian judge with excellent English who helped out the local Germanspeaking announcer, declared the Reserve BIS – Andvol Pinkerton, a Corgi Pembroke, Russian bred and owned, handled by his dedicated handler, Olga Shilova. The beautiful animal trotted proudly into the ring, making its way to the podium.

“Best in Show at the 2012 World Winner is… the Saluki!” announced Jakkel. The gracious black and tan dog, Shiraz California Dreaming, thrust forward, running a good two yards in front of his Swedish owner-handler, Nicklas Ericsson. He arrived at the first place, thus ending a memorable show.

Just two days earlier, on Friday the 18th, the World Show set off in a huge complex of halls. The entries literally arrived from around the globe, with neighboring Germany accounting for the largest number of entries (2,631) followed by Italy and Russia. However, there were 9 dogs entered from Costa Rica, 9 from Mexico, 5 from Thailand, 2 dogs from Australia and Chile and even one dog from China and one from Kazakhstan. The panel of 139 judges came from 34 countries including Lithuania, Canada, Japan and the USA. The dogs were judged in almost 80 rings with winners of junior class getting the coveted Junior World Winner title and winners of the CACIB (candidacy for international championship) turning into World Winners. The ring of honor began with puppies, went on to veterans, braces and breeders’ groups and then continued with the juniors of each group and finally the BOB winners who competed for a placing in the group. Strangely, the organizers brought into the ring all the puppies in each breed, with some breeds sending 10 puppies together. The judges then had to sort through them to place the three best puppies of each day. In the juniors and veterans, both male and female entered the main ring and in one case the judge even

66

U.S. Route 66 was established in 1926 and was recognized as the main route between Chicago and Los Angeles. In 1946 Nat King Cole (some may remember him) recorded a song named “Route 66” in which Nat rhythmically calls out the names of many of the towns one would see along the way. Chow Chow Club, Inc. adopted the song to jazz up our 2012 National Specialty held in St Louis, Missouri.

“GET YOUR LICKS ON ROUTE 66” hence, our theme for this year’s National...

ll details were in place and ready for the Chowists to begin arriving. On Saturday April 28, when the board members began arriving, the area was hit with an unfortunate event. Mother Nature acted out as the Chow Chows began their invasion into St. Louis.

Straight-line winds rushed through the downtown area near Cardinal Stadium resulting in the death of one person. Sunday she dropped hail on the City the size of California lemons. The damage was furious and swift. Cars looked as if they were battered by sledgehammers. Many vehicles sustained smashed windows and their metal bodies were dented so severely, they were totaled by insurance companies. Motor homes had to be duct taped together. Tile roofs were destroyed and many windows were shattered.

Vehicles of several Chow enthusiasts that arrived early were damaged. Fortunately, no one was hurt.

After her rude welcome, things actually went smoothly for the remainder of the events.

Thank goodness, my husband and I did not arrive until Monday, when the cleanup was well underway. We discovered driving 1,800 miles is not as easy as it used to be. All the scenery described in the song has a lot of open space in between. The drive was especially challenging with two seven-month-old Chow girls on their first road trip. Three days and approximately 25 driving hours later, we made it into town. The show and supporting events were held in Maryland Heights, Missouri, suburb of St. Louis. Our host hotel was the beautiful Sheraton Westport Chalet. The grounds met with the approval of the bouncing youngsters and the veterans alike. Adjacent to the grounds were outstanding restaurants, lovely shops, and some fine St. Louis Blues, played evenings in the courtyard. The Chow Chow Club, Inc. activities began when the board met Sunday morning. That evening a breeder’s seminar was presented by Harvey Kent. The club is trying to come to an agreement on the cream colored Chow and the appropriContinued on page 126

Proposed APHIS Rule Changes Will Affect Hobby Breeders

By Carlotta Cooper

O

n May 10, 2012, APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service), part of the United States Department of Agriculture, held a conference call with stakeholders to announce new regulations that they planned to add to the Animal Welfare Act which covers how animals are bred and kept in the United States. The regulations apply to people who breed dogs, cats, rabbits, and other pets and domestic animals.

You can listen to the conference call here: <https://www. dropbox.com/s/vlhosqh1xov7qr1/Aphis%20May%2010,%20 2012.aiff> Or you can read the transcript of the conference call here: <http://www.saova.org/news/APHIS/Aphis_ May_10_2012.pdf> In order to understand the proposed new regulations you need to be aware of the fact that hobby dog breeders (and other small breeders of pets) have long been considered in the same category as “retail pet stores.” This is because we sell directly to the public at retail, instead of selling puppies wholesale. The idea with a “retail pet store” is that you don’t have to be inspected by APHIS because your buyers have the opportunity to inspect you. If things were not in good shape where you have your puppies and dogs, your buyers would report you. For USDA inspection purposes, this means that we have not had to be inspected by APHIS. The same is true of retail pet stores. You should also know that rescue organizations have also been considered in this same “retail pet store” exemption category because they sell their puppies and dogs one at a time, on a retail basis, and not wholesale.

However, the new regulations proposed by APHIS would remove this exemption from hobby breeders and rescues.

Background If you are wondering what prompted these proposed new regulations, or if APHIS has the authority to make these rules, here is a little background.

In the 1960s Congress passed the Animal Welfare Act. It was originally set up to ensure better care for animals in laboratories but it was later expanded to provide better care for dogs in large breeding facilities. Under this act the USDA and APHIS have regulatory authority to make rules regarding the care of animals. When they change the rules they do not have to go back to Congress or the president for approval. When there is a proposed rule change, the new rules are posted for public comment and, after consideration, the rules are changed, accepted, or in some cases dropped.

HSUS and other animal rights groups have been pushing to expand regulation to include hobby breeders for 15 years. The Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) and PETA pushed for changes in the rules in 1997. DDAL sued the USDA to force them to license and inspect hobby breeders. The lawsuit continued for several years and the USDA eventually prevailed, leaving the “retail pet store” exemption intact. There were also legislative attempts to create laws that would have included hobby breeders in inspections: the Puppy Protection Acts of 2001 and 2003, PAWS in 2005, a Senate Amendment as a rider to the Farm Bill in 2007, “Baby’s Bill” in 2008, and PUPS in 2010 and 2011.

Now the USDA and APHIS, following an Office of the Inspector General’s report in 2010 that showed they were not adequately inspecting wholesale commercial dog breeders, have come back with proposed rules that will not significantly affect wholesale breeders. One of the recommendations in the OIG report was to look at people who sell large numbers of puppies online, or “Internet sellers.” These sellers often do sell puppies without a buyer visiting their premises. However,

there is scant evidence that this is a huge problem or that large numbers of buyers are dissatisfied with their purchases. In fact, one of the problems with the proposed new rules from APHIS is that they have done little or no research about the problems they claim they are trying to fix. They have not identified how many new pet owners actually have any complaints about dog breeders or other information they would need to know before coming up with new rules.

The Proposed Rules You should know that the proposed rules will affect anyone who sells any dog or cat during the course of a year. They will also affect other species such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, domestic ferrets, and others for use as pets. Dog breeders currently don’t have to have kennels that are Animal Welfare Act-compliant: with waterproof surfaces, separate food preparation areas, floor drains, and always being available for inspection. And we are not fined by APHIS if we have too many issues.

However, if the proposed rules are adopted, there will be new requirements in order to be a “retail pet store” if you are a hobby breeder or rescue: 1. You will have to have every single one of your puppy buyers physically enter your home (which is considered to be your “store”). They have to physically visit your premises at least once for each sale. You cannot ship dogs, meet buyers at shows or rest areas, or at a McDonald’s to deliver a puppy unless that buyer has already come to your home at another time *for that same sale*. In this case there are no restrictions on the numbers of dogs (or cats, etc.) that you can keep.

This may be the most practical way to handle the proposed rules for most hobby breeders in order to comply but it certainly won’t be easy for you OR for your buyers. If you are caught selling even ONE dog without the buyer coming to your home, you would lose your exemption and have to become USDAlicensed and subject to inspections. If you have a breeder friend across the country and you often swap puppies, you will have to physically visit their home for each puppy you buy. It doesn’t matter that you have known each other or co-bred litters together for 20 years. There must be a new visit for each puppy purchased.

OR 2. You can keep four or fewer breedable females (APHIS currently has no definition for “breedable females”) and sell only the offspring of your own females raised on your premises. If you choose this option you can ship dogs, meet people at rest areas so they can pick up a puppy, and so on. However, the four or fewer breedable females you own does include bitches coowned with others, as the rules are understood at this time.

Breedable Females As mentioned, APHIS currently has no definition for “breedable female.” In the May 10 conference call this issue was raised and APHIS officials said it would have to be addressed.

They urged people to comment on the matter (along with many, many other issues that were raised). It seems likely that a breedable female will be considered a bitch that is intact and over four (or possibly six) months of age. It is not known if there will be an upper age limit. You will probably have to provide paperwork to prove a bitch has been spayed.

It does not matter if you do not intend to breed a bitch, or if you help rescue and you do not breed that particular breed, or if you are keeping a bitch for a friend or family member, or if you are keeping a bitch for one of your puppy owners who is on vacation, or if she is at your home while you are showing her for someone else. The word used in the regulations is “maintained.” If you are feeding her, she counts and she would put you over your four bitch limit.

The proposed regulations also contain wording about bitches maintained “in concert” with other people. This is probably a reference to co-ownerships and it likely means that a co-owned breedable bitch will be counted against all owners who co-own her.

If you believe that a bitch is sterile but you have no paperwork from your veterinarian for a spay for her, she will probably be counted as a breedable bitch.

Wording in the proposed regulations also states that you can “sell only the offspring of your own females, raised on your premises.” This means that you cannot sell a stud fee puppy or any “puppies back” from a bitch you sold.

Impact As you can tell, these proposed regulations will affect nearly every hobby breeder, whether they breed for show, performance, hunting, or to produce quality pets. If you have more than four bitches, or you ever have more than four girls on your property, as so many of us do, you will have to re-think how you manage your breeding and how you maintain your dogs. You will have to have a visit from every single buyer at some point during a sale. For some breeders, this is too dangerous. They have good reason to fear animal rights fanatics who are opposed to breeding.

Others worry about their personal safety, especially if they live alone. And other breeders have legitimate concerns about allowing visitors into the house when they have younger litters.

Many breeders may decide to give up breeding altogether, or cut down to the point where they cannot breed or compete in any meaningful way. You have to imagine that the effect on AKC registrations will be very damaging. This is a body blow to dog breeding in the United States if these proposed rules are put into effect.

Enforcement How will the proposed rules be enforced? HSUS, the ASPCA, and other animal rights groups were quick to ask this question during the conference call. APHIS said that they had a wide range of ways to enforce the rules. Some of the ways that APHIS may enforce the rules include complaints from puppy buyers, tips from animal rights zealots, and calls from other breeders and perhaps coowners. AR-leaning vets may report a breeder. And APHIS could obtain information about who is shipping puppies from airlines. Basically, APHIS doesn’t have to catch every breeder who breaks the rules. They only have to catch a few people and scare the rest into compliance.

AWA Requirements If you have more than four bitches and you think you might prefer to become USDA-compliant, you should check out the APHIS inspection forms:<http://www. aphis.usda.gov/animal_welfare/downloads/Inspection_ Requirements_Attachments.PDF> or <http://tinyurl. com/768vawo> It is impossible to meet these requirements in a home setting. Dogs raised in USDA kennels have to be kept in kennel buildings.

What Can You Do? These are *proposed rules*. They are not part of the USDA’s regulations – yet. But APHIS is quite serious about putting these rules into effect. We are currently in the comment period for the rules. We have until July 16, 2012 to make comments objecting to the rules and urging APHIS to reconsider. So, here is what you can do.

1) Comment A 60-day comment period began May 16 when the regulations were published to the Federal Register. Go to <http://www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APH IS-2011-0003-0001> To read the regulations for yourself, click on the PDF icon next to VIEW DOCUMENT. When you comment you should be respectful. Tell APHIS how the change in rules would affect you and your breeding program. Ask APHIS to withdraw the proposed regulations.

These regulations are intended to regulate large Internet breeders but no studies have been done about large Internet kennels to see how many there are or find out what kind of problems there might be. The government says there have been complaints from consumers but they can’t say how many complaints there have been. These proposed regulations would catch thousands of caring, devoted, ethical hobby breeders in their net and could put an end to many breeding programs.

These rules would be especially harmful for rare breeds and breeds with smaller numbers.

2) Send your comment to your senator and representative.

Find out who they are here: <http://www.house.gov/representatives/> and <http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/ senators_cfm.cfm> Remember these are *proposed regulations*. They are not a law passed by Congress that has to be voted on. But they would seriously impact the nation’s economy. They would also impact APHIS’s budget. This is tremendous over-regulation of the worst kind and it will make it much harder to find a good dog and more expensive to buy one.

These regulations would also effect rescues. They would be subject to exactly the same rules that would harm hobby breeders. Anyone who wanted to adopt a rescue dog would have to visit the actual place where the dog was being maintained, even if that was a foster home if the rescue did not have an actual building of its own. If the rescue had more than four unspayed females in a year, they would be subject to the same rules as hobby dog breeders and would need to become USDA-compliant. They would not be able to meet new owners off-premises to give them their new dog. Rescues need to comment on these proposed rules, too.

3) Send a copy of your comments to AKC at doglaw@akc. org. AKC is collecting comments and will make comments to APHIS based on what they hear from dog breeders.

It’s vitally important that you comment on these proposed regulations and tell APHIS how they will affect you and your ability to produce healthy, happy dogs. This is the most serious threat to dog breeding that we have ever faced. Please comment now to stop these harmful regulations.

My thanks to Sharyn and Walt Hutchens, Margo Milde, Susan Wolf of SAOVA, and Donna Fefee who did so much of the heavy lifting to decipher these proposed regulations and make them more comprehensible to the rest of us.

the

ing the dog shows in Tennessee and has been hospitalized. While it is quite serious, she is conscious and does seem to be making some progress….hope all is well.

All of us at DOG NEWS send our deepest sympathies to RICHARD GREEN and his son and daughter on the loss of his wife GINA, who had battled for more than a decade against the disease that claimed her life. RICHARD is the son of GAYNOR GREEN and PETER GREEN. ALLEN BUCKNER, judge of all toy breeds and several terrier breeds, has passed away.

All of us at DOG NEWS send his partner of 38 years, ROBERT KRASNIEWSKI, our deepest sympathies. The world of Airedales has lost a good friend in SUSAN TILLER, who passed away this week at her New Jersey home following heart surgery. She was a longtime supporter and right hand to ANNE CURTIS’ Victorianne kennels. GLEN BRAND, a familiar face around the California shows, breeder of Skye Terriers and Ibizan Hounds, passed away several weeks ago. GLEN was a co-owner of the 2003 Westminster group winning Ibizan Hound.

All of us at DOG NEWS send our deepest sympathies to his family and friends. JEAN FOURNIER has moved from Calhoun, Georgia and can now be contacted at 512 Parkwood Trail, Mesquite, Texas 75149. We wish her happiness in her new home. Moving not that far from her former Saint Petersburg home, SANDRA GOOSE ALLEN has moved to a new home and can be contacted at 1255 Pasadena Avenue South, Apt 821/23, Pasadena, Florida 33707.

The Kennel Club in England has made WALTER GOODMAN an honorary lifetime member of that organization, an honor that he also has with the Skye Terrier Club of America. Happy birthday to JOYCE VANEK. Sadly, as this column was going to print, word came that judge ED HAAS has passed away in the hospital. We have no further details. ED and his wife PEGGY are a well known judging couple, who have bred

column

The most anticipated and scrutinized judging panel, the 2013 WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB, appears in this issue of DOG NEWS. The panel of 43 judges is headed by MICHAEL DOUGHERTY, who will select the best in show winner from a selection chosen by group judges: Sporting Group KAREN WILSON, Hound Group LUC BOILEAU, Working Group ROBERT VANDIVER, Terrier Group JAY RICHARDSON, Toy Group DENNIS MCCOY, Non Sporting Group FLORENCE MALES and the Herding Group CHARLES TROTTER. JASON HOKE will judge the Junior Showmanship finals. Two new breeds will be represented for the first time, the Treeing Walker Coonhound will compete in the hound group and the Russell Terrier will compete in the terrier group. Some names that appear on the judging panel for the first time include group judge FLORENCE MALES, along with breed judges with PAUL CAMPANELLA, DEBBIE CAMPBELL, JASON HOKE, JAMIE HUBBARD, FRANK KANE from the UK, GRETCHEN SCHULTZ, JERRY KLEIN, CHARLES OLVIS, JOHN RAMIREZ, GARY VLACHOS, MERLE TAYLOR, DAVID ALEXANDER, ELIZABETH MUTHARD, JOAN SCOTT, DEBRA GSCHWENDER and JAMES MOSES. Two major officer changes have taken place at the WESTMINSTER KENNEL CLUB. SEAN MCCARTHY has been elected president of the club and replacing SEAN as chief steward is HARVEY WOODING. The election of SEAN brings a new younger era to the club and he is a very hands-on individual who will no doubt make his mark on the club. Personally, I’m glad he doesn’t have to stand at the entrance of the Garden ramp anymore, it’s cold down there.

Now he’ll just have to put up with the wind off the Hudson River. Well known Soft Coated Wheaten Terrier breeder and exhibitor BETH VERNER collapsed in her hotel room while attend-

and exhibited West Highland White terriers, a tradition continued with their daughter. They are members of several clubs in the Chicago area, most notably Elgin Kennel Club and the green blazers of the International Kennel Club. All of us at DOG NEWS send our deepest sympathies to PEGGY and her daughters at this very sad time.

CHOWS ON ROUTE 66 Continued FROM page 73

ate requirement for nose pigment. Currently the standard requires the nose to be black, however, many feel this is genetically impossible. His presentation included information regarding genetic testing of different colors in numerous breeds. This issue has been in debate for several years.

Monday morning began with breakfast hosted by a regional club. Hosted events continued throughout the week with different regional clubs hosting either breakfast or a cocktail party after the daily activities. Our Obedience, Rally, CGC, and Parade of Rescue preceded our Annual Charity Puppy Match.

Proceeds from the match are donated to Chow rescue. The annual general meeting was Monday evening’s main attraction. Tuesday morning the club presented an educational seminar on gastric dilatation and volvulus, aka, bloat.

Most dog owners are aware that bloat is a deadly affliction that takes the lives of many different breeds each year. Unfortunately, Chows are one of the breeds that are predisposed to bloat.

Puppy and Veteran Sweepstakes were judged Tuesday afternoon. It is so exciting for the breeders to show off their breeding accomplishments of the previous year. Selected by the membership to officiate this event was Wayne Eyster.

Wayne and his wife Lynda are from Grand Prairie, TX and have bred top quality Chows for many years. They breed under the kennel name Northwind Chow and have achieved many breeder awards over the years.

Our happy little Chowboys strutted into the ring followed by our dancing and oh so cute Chowgirls; what a delight.

Best in Sweeps was L0-RE’ PEPPERLAND STORM WARNING from the 6-9 mo. class. He is a handsome rough black lad in lovely condition. He trotted around the ring with pizzazz and personality that would not quit. He is bred and owned

by Lonnie & Regina Burr from North Carolina, handled by Gina. Lonnie and Gina have bred and exhibited Chows over several decades. They have produced many winners at national and regional specialties.

Best of Opposite in Sweeps was owned and bred by Kathy & George Beliew and Tom & Deborah Spence, handled

by George from Redlands, California. IMAGINE IT’S ONLY LOVE was also from the 6 to 9 mo. class. A sparkling blonde bombshell that is way too cute for words. The Beliew’s under the Imagine kennel name have been breeding and exhibiting for more years than I care to admit.

Later that evening, after dinner, our Top Twenty competition commenced. Our club withholds announcing the winner until the Awards Banquet on Thursday evening. However, I will not make you wait......... the winner was....... the lovely shaded red, smooth bitch; GCH FORTUNE’S ALL EYEZ ON ME. “Vanity” is owned and bred by Ken Wronski and Mike Heldt, handled by Mike. They reside in Las Vegas, NV. This was not the last time they and Las Vegas are in the spotlight this week.

Breed judging was split into two days with regular classes held on Wednesday followed by the 2012 Grand Finale, Best of Breed on Thursday. The much-respected Mr. Edd Bivin judged both events. Our exhibitors appreciated his enthu126 Dog News

siasm and demeanor with the dogs. It was readily apparent that he was enjoying his assignment. As always, Edd particularly enjoyed helping the newcomers, as well as those that have been around the block a few times with his handling expertise. The club’s judges education and mentoring group was placed ringside near the judges’ table. Therefore, Edd often elaborated to the group explaining his placements, which I thought was very beneficial to both new judges and the mentors alike. Edd knows exactly what he wants in the Chow. He is extremely easy to follow and will always find the medium size, upstanding, square, Nordic type dog, with a pleasant clean head and an expressive scowl possessing the ability to function in both the field and guard the palaces in Mongolia.

Winners Dog and Best of Winners came from the Bred by Exhibitor class. The red youngster was very square and balanced, with a lovely stilted gait.

PADOW’S TOO HOT TO HANDLE, bred, owned, and handled by Kurt Williams from Las Vegas, NV. Kurt has been exhibiting more than 25 years. Reserve winners dog went to DREAMLAND’S PUFFINGTON BEAR, handled by Michael Brantley breeder and PHA from Texas. Michael also goes back many years, as his parents were Chow breeders.

Mr. Bivin found his Winners Bitch in the open smooth class. She was a stunning, young, black bitch. SITZE-GOU’S LADI-RAAF VAN GLAZZ bred, owned and handled by Bill Buell, from North Carolina. Bill has a long history of producing top winning smooths and continues to do so. Reserve winners bitch DREAMLAND’S HAUTE COUTURE, handled by Mike Brantley. The wonderful veterans entered the ring with cheers from the crowds and moist eyes. It is always so special to see the old timers; I know they are enjoying all the attention.

Wednesday evening was our annual Auction.

Show committee members had assembled all the

exciting Chow memorabilia in an effort to generate financial support for next year’s National.

Thursday the excitement mounted with the 2012 GRAND FINALE, as all the exhibitors groom their beautiful specials silently dreaming that Mr. Bivin will point his finger at their exhibit. It was exciting to see forty-one beautiful champions strutting their stuff into one large ballroom. After all dogs were checked in and divided into groups, the pressure was on!!!!

With ease, Mr. Bivin capably sorted through our specials pulling his winners: • Best Of Breed-GCH PADOW’S TWILIGHT EMBREY IN A NEW MOON AT ASANS, bred, owned and handled by Kurt Williams, co-owner Anita Sanders • Best Of Winners-PADOW’S TOO HOT TO HANDLE, owned and bred by Kurt Williams • Best Of Opposite Sex-GCH FORTUNE’S ALL EYEZ ON ME, bred and owned by Mike Heldt and Ken Wronski, handled by Mike All three chows were very similar in type and structure. Moreover, all three of these exhibits are from the lucky city of Las Vegas, Nevada.

• Select Dog- GCH REDCLOUD CHOWLAMAR BIG DADDY: breeder, owner, handled, Roy Bailey Co-Owner Zola Coogan • Select Bitch- CH PENDELTON GINGER: breeder, owner, handled, Dave Foose, co-owner, Pat Foose • Awards of Merit: • GCH SITZE-GOU’S GLAZZ PARAGON, breeder, owner, handled, Bill Buell • GCH DREAMLAND’S AMERICAN REVELOTION, breeder, owner, handled, Mike Brantley, co-owner Linda Brantley • GCH ANGELOTTI’S MONKEY BUSINESS, breeder, owner, Irene Bryan, handled by Amy Young • CH LO-RE’ PEPPERLAND FEEL THAT FIRE.... breeder, owner, handled, Regina Burr co-owned Lonnie Burr Our Awards Banquet was held that evening with

everyone in a relaxed festive mode. Our MC was the one and only Louis Lopez, who flew all the way from Spain just to join in the fun. He introduced Show Chairperson Ms. Joanne Schullier and Co-chair Ms. Mary Harris. Everyone agreed that Joanne and Mary hosted a wonderful event without blemish. It was mentioned that this was Joanne’s fourth as show chairperson and perhaps her last. We think after a rest, she will be ready to go again. The club was fortunate to find Mr. Bivin in a talkative mood. When asked to say a few words, he found a few more. Actually, Edd gave a wonderful presentation. Generally, judges speak just about the exhibits; however, he took his speech one step further.

Most importantly, he spoke to us as a fellow breeder, emphasizing the health, welfare, and future of our breed and the sport of pure bred dogs.

He noted how the sport has changed since he began judging in the last millennium.

He stated, “most of the pups bred today are placed as pets into homes that may have limited incomes. These folks are likely to also be raising a family. Vet bills are on the rise.

All these factors may come together making the owner have to chose between spending money on the dog or his kids. If so, guess who will suffer? Therefore, the health of the dogs we breed and place is extremely important.” He encouraged each of us as stewards of our breed to work harder to improve their health. He also pointed out that the Chow breeders have come a long way improving their temperament. All of the dogs exhibited were well mannered and did not show any aggressive behavior. This is a major step forward from years past!

The overall health of the breed is a subject very dear to my heart. I know thru experience with conscientious breeding practices health of the offspring can be improved.

However, today Chows have the second highest incidence of elbow dysplasia of all breeds. They are ranked in the top 20 percent, or 34th out of 164 breeds recognized by AKC, for hip dysplasia. Our Parent Club annually recognizes the top ten winning Chows. This year only two of the top ten Chows had all of their required health certifications. Our parent club also offers two top awards each year: Supreme Chow Chow Of The Year and Premier Chow Chow Bitch Of The Year. None have qualified since 2006 because they did not pass the required health certifications. In this, I strongly agree with Mr. Bivin, this is what dog shows should really be about. We expect the judges to evaluate breeding stock in the ring. However, selecting which dogs are to be bred together is the breeder’s responsibility and MUST include information regarding health certifications.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Bivin for judging our National and providing the membership with encouragement to breed healthier Chows. He complimented us on the significant improvement of our temperaments, while encouraging us to continue to strive for soundness of both body and mind. As he said, the future of the sport will depend on it.

FIELD SPANIELS...

Continued FROM page 81

as bird finding abilities, marking and retrieving. There are two levels that can be obtained at a working dog test- the junior level is the Working Dog Title (WD) while the more difficult Working Dog Excellent (WDX) requires a more polished and well trained hunting companion. By the end of the test we had 2 Field Spaniels that passed the Working Dog Excellent (WDX) test, CH Calico’s Running Up The Far MH UD VER and CH W-Haven’s MVP at Calico JH BN RA, and two that passed the Working Dog test (WD), CH Winters’ To Catch A Star and Calico’s Probable Cause.

By Tuesday morning the exhibitors were ready for the FSSA agility trial to begin. We were fortunate that the rain stayed at bay, allowing the exhibitors to enjoy the sunny but cool Wisconsin spring weather. The trial had 34 runs with over 14 Fields entered at various levels from the excellent to novice. While some teams were making their debut we had many others at the excellent level attempting to get the elusive double q as well. Many others were seeking to get those much-needed final legs to earn a title! Although there were no double Q’s that day everyone had fun running their Fields and there was plenty of celebrating of clean runs, new titles and earning of Mach points.

The following morning started out with the obedience and rally trial. Our obedience Judge for the day’s event was Julianne Cepulis.

There were 12 Field Spaniel entries in regular obedience and another 11 entries in the optional titling class. High in Trial came from the Novice B Class-- CH W-Haven’S MVP at Calico JH BN RA “Brett” with a score of 196.0. Brett was handled by owner Kylie Jo Hirschy-Seivert. Our Rally Judge was the wonderful Randy Capsel, who constructed some fun but challenging rally courses. In rally the exhibitors excelled and there was a total of 23 qualifying scores! The high combined score from the Excellent Rally classes went to CH Catera’s Simply Irresistible VCD2 RE TDX MH AJP NFP “Paige” handled by owner Karen Balinski.

This team scored 97 in the Rally Excellent Class and a perfect 100 in the Rally Advance Class.

The next event up for the day was the puppy sweepstakes. This event is always one of the favorites

as it is exciting to see the various puppies from around the country and you can be assured the puppies always create some silly antics to entertain the crowds! This year did not disappoint as there were many youngsters vying for the top honors.

The puppy sweepstakes judge was the knowledgeable Karrie Hershberger. Karrie had many delightful youngsters to sort though as she made her way towards her winners. Her Best In Puppy Sweeps was Calico’s Gambler’s Risk owned

by James & Jeannie Race, Becki Hirschy & Kylie Seivert and her best of opposite was awarded to the lovely bitch Sandscape Pardon Me Boys owned by Corinne Dooley & Nichole Dooley.

The completion of the Sweeps marked the start of the “Evening of the Stars Gala”. As Field Spaniels are a very versatile breed this year the National Committee set up some fun competitions to highlight the versatile Field Spaniels. Some of the events included the All Around Field Spaniel Challenge, Grand Championship Show Down and the Parade of title holders! Exhibitors and spectators both enjoyed a lovely buffet, cocktails and conversation that were available while the various events took place. There was also a beautiful Derby Field Spaniel Cake that set the mood for the evening’s competition!

The Junior Showmanship judge this year was Kylie Jo Hirschy-Seivert, who found her Best Junior, Rachel Ertle, from the Master Class. Rachel Ertle might be a familiar name as this talented young lady was the number one junior in the country last year!

Two of the fun challenges that were set up were the “All Around Challenge” and the “Grand Championship Show Down”. The All Around Challenge was set up to highlight the multi-talented Field Spaniels that have various titles in different venues. For this challenge a set of judges was used to determine the winner. The judges for this event were Candy Carswell & Mindy Mymudes.

In the end it was deemed that CH Winfarthings Aislinn BN GN CD RAE AXJ OA OF OAP OFP OJP was Best in All Around Challenge. For the Grand Championship Show Down we were honored to have Peggy Nowak judging the entry. As the name implies, only dogs with a grand champion-

ship were allowed to compete. Her pick to win the show down was GCH Winfarthing Pride & Prejudice SH RN. Not to leave the human counterparts out of the picture there was also a DERBY HAT competition in honor of the Kentucky Derby that was happening that weekend.

This fun event had owners and dogs dressing in their best matching derby outfits! Fun was had by both the exhibitors and spectators as the creative hats and outfits were a sight to behold! The extravagant hats and outfits would rival those found at the Kentucky Derby!

After the completion of the events for the night we were all glad we had the reprieve of a later start time the next morning for the FSSA National. This year we were graced to have the wonderful Bonnie Linnell Clarke as our judge. We were thrilled to present her with a class entry of 25 class dogs, 26 class bitches and over 35 Specials all looking to take home the ribbons.

Ms. Linnell Clark put exhibitors at ease as she worked her way through the classes. Her winners dog came from the 15-18 month old class with Calico’s Gamblers Risk James & Jeannie Race, Becki Hirschy & Kylie Seivert taking that honor as well as Best Puppy. Her winners bitch come from the competitive bred by class with Sandscape Pardon Me Boys, owned by Corinne Dooley & Nichole Dooley, taking the top honors. Her reserve winners dog was Game Creeks Harrington & Richardson owned by Pam & Steve Boyer and reserve winners bitch was Winfarthings Maequise owned and bred by Peter Archer.

With the completion of the classes the Specials made their way into the ring. After separating the specials into manageable groups Ms. Linnell Clarke went about her task with great efficiency.

Many held their breath as they awaited the wave of Ms. Linnell Clarke’s hand indication if they were making the first cut. After sorting through the specials everyone was brought back into the ring.

Ms. Linnell Clarke then went about making her final cut as she pulled dogs out into the center of the ring. All held their breath as we awaited her to make her final decisions! Best in Specialty honors went to the 9-11 year-old Veteran winner CH Capriole’s Normandy Commander CD RA “Monty”, who was owner-handled by Karin Wiechmann.

Monty showed like a dream and showed the youngsters how it is done. He was in beautiful condition and never put a foot down wrong. This beautiful boy was always owner handled throughout his career and is a multiple all breed best in show winner who now has Best In Specialty to add to his credentials.

Best of Winners went to the pretty Bred By bitch Sandscape Pardon Me Boys who was also awarded Best Bred by. Best of Opposite was awarded to the exquisite GCH Nautica’s Game On RN owned by bred by Danielle Brewer . Select dog was CH Nautica’s Ladies Knight RA owned by Linda St-Hilaire, Alain Morissette & Danielle Brewer and Select Bitch was Ch Capriole’s Imogen MX MXJ owned

by Meg Colwill. The Award of Merit winners were GCH Killara’s Riders On The Storm owned by Grace Elliott, Toban Mitchell & Karen Balinski, GCH Wicksfords Breezyboy Seabreeze owned by Connie McBrier & Theresa Mayer, GCH Nautica’s Wind River Gold RN owned by Nichole Dooley, Dr. Michael Burch & Danielle Brewer, GCH CT Killara’s Here Comes The Sun VCD1 GN RE SH MX MXJ XF owned and bred by Karen Balinski, CH Sandscape I Know My Carolina Song owned by Robert Pollard & Nichole Dooley.

The Stud Dog Winner was GCH Nautica’s Wind River Gold RN and Brood Bitch award was given to CH W-Haven’s Centerfold At Pemberly WDI owned by Sonya Haskell. Best Junior Puppy was the previously mentioned reserve winner Game Creeks Harrington & Richardson. Best Hunter was awarded to CH W-Haven’s Centerfold At Pemberly WDI. On behalf of all the exhibitors I would like to say a special thank you to show chair Suzanne Ward Fernau for all her efforts for putting on this National. Suzanne handled the event with grace and poise and made it an event to remember by all. In addition we are grateful to all the people that volunteered their time and efforts to making this National a huge success. The National was a well organized event and thoroughly enjoyed by all.

So to all the volunteers, Thank You for all your efforts!

Salzburg...

Continued FROM page 65

picked two dogs of the same breed in his first cut. This made for some slow judging in these groups, drawing out the events in the ring of honor beyond the expected time.

On the first day, four of the 10 FCI groups were judged, beginning with the Terriers (group 3), then group 7 (pointers), group 8 (retrievers and spaniels) and finally group 10 (sighthounds).

The Terrier group judge was Paul Stanton from Sweden.

He picked an impressive American Staffordshire Terrier as his group winner (Don King of Rings, owned by Natalija Zeljic of Serbia). A Kerry Blue Terrier, and Yorkshire Terrier, both from Russia, were put up in the second and third places, respectively.

German judge Horst Kliebenstein judged group 7.

His winner was a Weimaraner from Belgium, Grey Classics Ipanema Girl, bred and owned by Edwin Lenaerts, who also owns the runner-up group winner, an English Pointer named Weimpint Keep Smilin’, who minutes earlier had been awarded first place among the juniors of the group. Third was a Hungarian Vizsla, from Hungary.

“The Weimaraner is a champion of 5 countries bred by me,” explained Lenaerts. “I have been breeding Weimaraners for 18 years now. This is her third BOB at world shows after winning at the shows in 2010 and 2011. Her parents are Brazilian and her sire is a World Winner himself. The pointer is just 12 and a half months old but had already won BIS in Hungary two weeks ago, handled by his Hungarian co-owner, Dorothea. It’s amazing to win two places on the podium at such a show.”

Group 8 was judged by Damir Skok, president of the Croatian Kennel Club. He put up an English Springer Spaniel, Lnmoor Zimply Zalient, owned by Katarzyna Ksiazek of Poland, followed by Light My Fire da Pedra da Anixa, a Portuguese Water Dog owned by Laura Browne of Portugal, and a Clumber Spaniel, Big Boom’s Banditos Dex, owned by Lana Levai of Croatia.

The final group of the first day, the sighthound group (10) was judged by Rafael de Santiago of Puerto Rico. His winner was the aforementioned Saluki who later became BIS. Second was an Afghan Hound from Germany and a Whippet from Italy.

A

fter judging the best puppy in the show on the second day, Ron Menaker told us: “I judged 141 Samoyeds today, of outstanding quality and breed type. The CACIB animals were beautiful. I’m told the parents of the BOB were both World Winners.

The show is very well organized, very good hospitality, friendly and good tempered exhibitors and terrific stewards. In the puppy group, there too many quality puppies to pick from and I’m happy with my choice.”

The herding group was judged first in the main ring, with the Corgi winning, followed by a Puli named Cordmaker Hurdy Gurdy, owned by Bodil Rusz of Denmark. Third place was awarded to a Border Collie, Jumpingriver from Italy.

Hans van den Berg of the Netherlands judged group 5 (Nordic and primitive breeds), putting up a Siberian Husky bred in Canada, owned by a European and handled by an American, followed by a Thai Ridgeback bred in Thailand and handled by a Thai boy flown in especially for the show by its Ukrainian owner. The third dog in the group was one of those breeds that are almost never seen on the podium, the Norwegian Puffin Dog, or Norbottenspets, a nondescript dog

with some very unique features that include an extremely flexible neck that can bend all the way to its back, and multiple dew claws.

“This was a very strong group,” noted the judge. I liked the Husky the moment I laid eyes on him. The Thai Ridgeback is a lovely representative of the breed who moved typically. The Puffin Dog was an excellent, sound example of this relatively rare breed.”

The final group of the day, the toy and companion dog group, was big and diverse. Belgian judge Norman Deschuymere, chose a black Standard Poodle with fantastic movement to top the group. He then put up a Lhasa Apso and finally brought a Phalene to the third group placement.

The show organizers began each afternoon’s judging with a marching band, military or civilian, playing marches that definitely started things off with a bang (of drums).

They then brought in military and police dogs for a demonstration of their ability. On the second day, a tenor filled in the gap between the different groups. Salzburg itself is one of Europe’s most elegant cities, with old buildings and palaces in pristine condition, surrounded by the Alps whose tops are covered with snow even in late May, making one stop and gasp at the awesome scenery every once in a while.

The international junior handling, with almost 200 entries, including some 30 representatives from different countries, was an event which the organizers, led by Birgitte Primig, had given a lot of thought to and had invested two years in its making. On the evening of the second day, the local handling club organized an event for junior handlers and their escorts to a famous landmark, a stately home built by an archbishop several centuries ago. This owner had an unusual sense of humor and he devised all sorts of pranks, mainly involving water, for his inebriated guests. Some of the boys and girls got a first-hand taste of the water pranks before having a nice dinner together.

One of the major concerns of the show organizers was the dogs’ welfare. Due to the warm weather, dogs left in cars were at risk of dying from the intense heat that built up in vehicles. After one dog died of this, the local police organized patrols that broke into cars containing dogs, thus saving the lives of quite a few helpless animals.

The third day’s events again began with the best puppies and veterans of the day. The best veteran was a Great Swiss Mountain Dog from Russia, Rossii Akella, owned

by Andrey Klishas of Russia. This dog, handled to perfection

by Nicolas Pinero, will now retire, said the handler. “This is the kennel’s first dog and has three World Winner titles, championships of 20 countries, with multiple BIS wins. For me he is Akilla the greatest, a real winner, a fighter who loves to show. He is also a great sire. One of his daughters is a World Winner and one of his sons is both European and World Winner. Sadly, we had a very hard moment recently when one of Akilla’s sons died, however our new hopefuls are another son and daughter that we are beginning to Continued on page 135

practical interpretation of what was developed under Irvingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s aegis. And I firmly believe that had Mr. Irving been Chair the testing would have been implemented much differently and perhaps even more acceptably to most involved. However I believe both he and Dr. Dean are overly concerned with public reaction to internal problems and while this sort of reaction cannot be ignored it also cannot be permitted to rule these kinds of decisions.

And just as Mr. Irving fails to understand the multi-faceted role of the professional handler in the United States and turns to the owner-handler as the sole salvation for the sport he and Dr. Dean have become so enamored with the need of public acceptance of what TKC is doing they seem to have forgotten the people they have been elected to represent.

I attended two of the three shows held on Long Island this past weekend and must tell you the weather was East Coast spring magnificent!! And certainly these shows deserved this break after some of the disastrous weather they have faced through the last five or six years. The Planting Fields Arboretum in Oyster Bay, which is the old Coe Estate, are the grounds the Duke of Windsor came to live at with his wife after his abdication and they are kept up magnificently to this very day. I dare say that the venue for Ladies Kennel Association is some of the most beautiful grounds for any dog show held anywhere! True the grounds are a smidge inaccessible for spectators but on a good weather day this venue is impossible to beat. Long Island KC holds its show now in Bethpage in a very mundane but adequate park, which appeals tremendously to spectators and their dogs. They put on a diverse and interesting type show, which has great crowd appeal. Indeed its use of the MY DOG CAN DO THAT! program was a huge success and bodes well as a way to bring people into the general sport of dogs.

The Affenpinscher shown by Ernesto Lara for the Truesdales swept all three shows-great weekend for him and all dog lovers. Just too bad they do not get greater entries but LIKC itself was up nearly 8 or 9% so that might bode well for the future.

I am pretty well confused by what the Board is up to insofar as grooming space is concerned. I come from the old school where grooming space was part of the entry fee and everyone is entitled on a first come basis. This philosophy has been shot to hell through the past several years and charging for grooming space seems quite the thing to do nowadays. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stand this and AKC pretty much stayed out of the problem for years but now seems to have decided to support those who want to charge for grooming space but has compromised the situation such that free grooming space is to be offered as well. I could not understand just where this free space is to be presuming of course I am correct in this conclusion.

campaign.”

Group two, the Pinschers, Schnauzers and mastiff type dogs.

Japanese judge, Hiroshi Kamisato, selected a Newfoundland, Starry Town Bon Prince, owned by Maorizio Maoro of Italy to be his group winner. This huge, gorgeous animal was followed by an Affenpinscher owned by Araceli and Fernandez and a saltpepper standard Schnauzer, and white toy poodle owned by Swirdova.

G

roup four, consisting of different types of Dachshunds, was judged by Italian judge, Claudio di Giuliani. Then the final group was judged by Dr. Milivoje Urosevic from Serbia. This was the largest FCI group, consisting of around 50 breeds.

When asked how you judge a group this large, he replied: “It takes a great deal of experience and three years of studies. I

went to different countries to see the various breeds and learn about them. Today’s winner, the Basset Fauve de Bretagne is quite a rare breed and this dog’s overall construction, coat, movement and handling were outstanding. It’s not an easy breed due to the special coat texture and color. The second place was a relatively new breed from Poland, Gonczy Polski, with excellent movement and conformation. The Rhodesian Ridgeback was my third choice. This is one of the most popular breeds in Europe today and this particular dog is young and I expect him to have a great future.”

The event ended with the junior and senior BIS judging. Mrs. Agnes Ganami of Israel had the honor of judging the juniors and selected a toy black poodle and the English Pointer mentioned above. Then the president of the FCI, Hans Muller, delighted the crowd with his choice for BIS and reserve.

Just before the BIS, the Hungarian Kennel Club, which is due to host next year’s World Show, presented a folk dance group and a girl who danced with a couple of Hungarian Pulis.

Following the change of government in their country that favors a dissident organization, the Hungarians are actually undergoing some uncertainty with regard to their very existence, not to mention the show, but are doing their best to overcome these enormous obstacles and are optimistic as to the outcome. So let us hope they do the job at least as well as the Austrians.

LONG ISLAND KENNEL CLUB - SUNDAY MAY 20, 2012 f you belong to an all breed dog club you know in certain areas of this country obtaining a show site is not an easy feat. I’ve been a member of the Long Island Kennel Club for thirty years. When the club was first founded shows were held on glamorous venues such as country clubs and hunt clubs. Long Island was the center of numerous top breeders and well known for the dog shows it held. The Long Island Kennel Club held shows at the posh Piping Rock Golf Club; Harrison House built by the Pratt family and considered a famed historic estate in Glen Cove; numerous colleges such as C.W. Post; the original home of Marjorie Meriwether Post of the cereal company; New York Tech; the onetime home of Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney; and Hofstra University. We moved from the colleges because each expanded within a short period of time of our using their venues. Finally we came to rest at the gorgeous Nassau County Museum of Art the former home of the Frick family.

The grounds were a bit bumpy, entering and existing a bit of a problem but as they say location is everything. Our spectator crowd was unbelievable. But the Museum came to an end too due to a cost factor. And so we moved to Old Bethpage Village Restoration; certainly not a glamorous move but one we needed to do.

Each year we made improvements. And now here we are in our fourth year. This year we had white tents and white and blue tents, huge flowering shrubs in the corners of our rings, geraniums on the judges’ tables and of course the beautiful set up for picture taking. All this framed by the site’s huge trees in the not far off distance. We

Letters ToThe Editor

CORRECTION ONE This photo of the Puli winning the Group at Trenton was left out by the author of the article in last week’s Trenton report. Dog News and the author, Sharon Sakson, apologize for this inadvertent error.

finally got it right! It took a bit of work and a membership that is hell bent on seeing that it all falls into place.

Congratulations must go to our fourth year show chairman, Honi Reisman.

Our show chair, Honi, fought for us to be approved to have more than one special event the day of the show. AKC approvals in place we had “Best Owner/Handler in Show and Best Bred By Exhibitor in Show” to the delight of our exhibitors. AKC was assured our stewards were top notch and could handle to additions to the show. About one hour before show time Pattie Proctor, our AKC field rep, sat with the stewards and fully explained how the Owner/ Handler works and if any steward has difficulty she would be available immediately at ringside. To my knowledge everything went smoothly. I’d like to thank Ms. Proctor for being who she is; knowledgeable about the AKC rules and treating both spectators and club members in a manner becoming of one who represents the AKC. This year we were all overjoyed as our entry was up by seventy-five dogs. We were thrilled. It was a beautiful Sunday with the temperature in the low 80’s and the sun shining upon us all day long. The weather certainly helped our gate as this year it was double from last year’s. Many of us, weeks prior to the show, inundated the surrounding area with flyers in store fronts, on car windows, cards offering a dollar off at the gate placed in shops in our local communities, and community papers announcing our show.

We even reached out to the big time newspapers for free community space. In other words we did our homework.

Banners announcing our show were placed strategically along the main road in front of the venue. In other words, if you want your show to work you as a member must work it.

Barbara Ohmann, staff member of the AKC, and I chatted at the International dog show in Chicago this past February.

She told me about the “My Dog Can Do That!” event and I was intrigued. I passed the info on to Honi Reisman, advising she get in touch with Ohmann immediately. This is a brilliant event devised

by AKC and I heartily congratulate them. We set up a separate area for them as they requested. All sorts of Agility equipment appeared and suddenly spectators formed a long line, a very long line with their dogs wanting to participate. Mark Dunn, also of AKC, Barbara, two assistants and new AKC board member Pat Cruz got to work.

We arranged a tour for spectators who were first timers at a dog show or who just wanted to join the group. They followed our club member around from ring to ring as if they were following the Pied Piper.

As the day started to wind down and the Groups began I noticed many spectators were still in attendance. What better way to end our event than to have the Best in Show line up in the ring and spectators still circling the ring wanting to see more. I’m proud of my club and all members who made this, our fourth year, our best year. With continued effort next year will be even better.
