the editorial

MORE THAN MONTGOMERY TIME Montgomery will be here next weekend and it seems as though it was just yesterday that the last Montgomery was held. The Montgomery weekend is a very special one to the sport of the dog internationally but let us not forget that the entire month of October is replete with National Specialties from one end of the country to the other. Whether it be the English Foxhounds, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers or the Doberman Pinschers and or the Portuguese Water Dogs to name but a few these events are as important and dear to these breed people as the Montgomery weekend is to the Terrier people. The magic in Montgomery lies in its ability to bring together so many breeds of Terriers as well as in the continuing nature of the weekend.

Probably thought of as the most important and prestigious Terrier event in the world the four days boil down to a must experience for anyone devoted to the sport of the exhibition of the purebred dog.

And its presentation and overall ambiance is critical in a sense to the preservation and continuance of our sport. It is truly one of the few remaining traditional presentations for dog show events which remain ongoing in America today. With the possible exception of Westminster and the resurrection of International too many of the shows upon which the very foundation upon which our sport was built have faded away. Or have become so mired in internal politics so as to have forgotten the original purposes for which they were founded which was to serve the geographical area within its Constitution. Fortunately Santa Barbara on the West Coast is making a remarkable comeback thanks to the efforts of a devoted few. Montgomery itself together with Hatboro have succeeded in forming almost a perfect union. Devon is on shakier ground these days but perhaps with the latest jolt in regard to its rather peculiar reaction to judges’ overdraws it too has become aware of its obligations towards the dog show community generally and Montgomery specifically. Devon for years has been one of the cornerstone shows which have contributed so successfully in making this one of the greatest weekends of the year worldwide for the dog show going public.

HSUS CHARGED IN RICO SUIT Most dog owners and breeders are aware of the fact that HSUS has stepped over the ethical grounds of fair play on many an occasion in pursuit of its own objectives. Of interest to us all is that HSUS is now in the fight of its life against a company that has the resources necessary to fight back against them and more importantly has decided to commit this money to that fight. HSUS and several other animal rights groups, including the ASPCA, filed suit in 2000 against Feld Entertainment, the company that owns the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus.

Using Tom Rider, a former Feld wild animal trainer, as the plaintiff, they funded a lawsuit that alleged that Feld Entertainment abused their elephants in violation of the Endangered Species Act. Feld decided to not only defend itself against what they believed to be a self-serving lawsuit but to attack HSUS for what they believed were illegal and unethical tactics. In 2009 a US District Judge ruled against HSUS (a ruling subsequently upheld on appeal to the Court of Appeals) and threw the whole case out of court. The judge did so stating that Tom Rider was a “PAID PLAINTIFF AND FACT WITNESS WHO IS NOT CREDIBLE” after it was revealed that he had been 10 Dog News

paid approximately $190,000 for his testimony. Sort of sounds like PETA and its paid endorsements doesn’t it!! Feld Entertainment sued HSUS under RICO (the Racketeer Influence and Corrupt Organizations Act) alleging an elaborate scheme by the animal rights organizations that constitutes racketeering under federal law, obstruction of justice, malicious prosecution and other charges. Last month a judge cleared the way for these charges to proceed! If the Feld suit is successful it will no doubt have a major negative impact on HSUS and other organizations which originated the suit. Let’s keep our fingers crossed and hope for Feld to prevail in this matter, for sure.

DOG TREATS AND THE FDA AND AKC It was reported in last week’s DOG NEWS that the FDA has been investigating animal illnesses that have been linked to jerky chicken treats imported from China as well as duck, sweet potato and treats where chicken or duck jerky is wrapped around dried fruits, sweet potatoes or yams. The FDA has cited approximately 2,200 reports of pet illnesses that MAY BE related to consumption of these treats. The majority of them involving dogs! In its September 14 report the FDA stated “Over the past 18 months reports have contained information on 360 canine deaths”. There is no State pattern as cases have been reported from 50 States and 6 Canadian provinces. Whether or not these illnesses are definitely caused by these jerky products from China is not yet totally ascertained. Since 2000 the volume of pet food imports from China has increased from 0.1 million pounds to 85.8 million pounds in 2011. During March and April of this year the FDA conducted at least 5 if not 7 plant inspections in China at firms that manufacture some of the higher numbers of the jerky products associated with the illnesses. The FDA is urging all U. S. pet food firms to collaborate in this public health investigation and is seeking further data sharing. This should include AKC as well since certain chicken jerky sticks are being sold under the AKC logo alleged to be produced in China although they may be American manufactured as well. If indeed dogs are being made sick by these treats or there is the possibility that it is happening until final word comes in perhaps one should reconsider use of these jerky treats as a precautionary step only.

THE JUDGES SURVEY Last week these pages reported that Staff was asked by Board to conduct a survey of the people’s reactions to the new judging approval process. These pages questioned certain aspects of what the survey would contain and to whom it would be sent. Furthermore one must ask in all fairness to those who proposed the changes how can a meaningful survey be made for a program in existence for less than a three or four month period of time? If the Board is unhappy with the way the new approval changes are being implemented or interpreted that’s one thing but to go out and ask for a survey at this point in time seems fruitless-do you think? Perhaps a survey about foreign judges taken from exhibitors would have more meaning to us all. Why not ask the reactions of the exhibitor to letting foreign judges buy a breed in perpetuity for $25 a breed or about automatically recognizing all judges in a country where the registration papers are accepted by AKC. What is the rationale in those instances one must ask, and what prior experience requirements does AKC set up for foreign judges adjudicating here for the first or even second or third times. Those are the questions to be asked in a survey one would think and while taking a survey how about AKC explaining why it has not yet appointed a Vice President in charge of Judges so that judges and applicants alike know the person to go to when questions arise. At this point in time it matters little who the person may be--that sort of position must be filled for sure.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK The rumors of infighting among the Members of the Nominating Committee as to whom to select to run for the Board are pretty wide spread in certain circles.

But that’s sort of to be expected and perhaps even encouraged since there is no reason five people should agree on everyone all of the time. One argument however which has reached these pages and which is rejected as being totally out-of-hand is the argument against someone due to his or her age. A person 82 years old can be just as with it if not more with it than a person of 50 and vice versa; that’s a fact. If you are against someone due to his or her philosophy that’s one thing but to turn to age as a factor particularly with the people known to be running is a red herring of the worst sort is what these pages believe anyways.

THE POPULARITY CONUNDRUM

he reasons for the relative popularity of breeds from one country to another is something which can be quite difficult, or even at times impossible, to explain. It was something brought to my mind by John Mandeville’s recent article in Dog News titled “Whither Shows?” In that piece he mentioned that in the last ten years the entry at Montgomery County Terrier Show had fallen by 25% and that the Great Western Terrier Show had fallen 38% in the same period. These figures seemed pretty disastrous for terriers so I decided to take a look at the equivalent statistics for the National Terrier Club show in the United Kingdom. At that show the entry has fallen in the same period by just over 8% from 1686 dogs ten years ago to 1543 dogs this year. Of course there are various issues which could distort these figures.

While at the UK’s National Terrier Show you are always comparing a like for like situation, at Montgomery County for example the position can be different from one year to the other. In some years Montgomery is the home of the National Specialties for certain breeds and in other years it can lose that status. That is not the case for the UK’s National Terrier Club.

Impressions STRANGE DIFFERENCES But even within those varied levels of entries there are some strange differences in popularity. At the National Terrier the top two entries this year were Staffordshire Bull Terriers with 203 dogs and Border Terriers with 182.

These two breeds were only able to attract 20 and 69 entries respectively present at Montgomery last year. That gave Staffordshire Bull Terriers one of the smallest entries at Montgomery County and put Border Terriers in about 12th place there. Kerry Blues managed 83 dogs present at Montgomery with only 31 at National Terrier. In the Fox Terrier area, Wires at

14 Dog News

National Terrier had nearly double the number that Montgomery managed.

Strangely enough Smooths were almost the other way around. A similar disparity arises in Norfolk and Norwich Terriers with Norfolks being almost twice as popular in the UK as are Norwich and the opposite being the case in the USA where Norwich seem consistently to get more than double the number that Norfolks can muster.

On the Continent of Europe yet another story emerges and at the FCI ‘World Dog Show’ in Paris last year the entry list was topped by American Staffordshires with 332 dogs.

They of course are not recognised at all as a breed by the Kennel Club in the UK. Next in Paris came Staffordshire Bull Terriers (226) followed by Jack Russells with 171 (another breed not recognised in the UK

by TKC) and then Scottish Terriers (141) and Wire Fox Terriers (131).

A MISGUIDED POLICY? In registration terms unfortunately the AKC seems no longer to publish actual numbers of dog registered. It only publishes the relative positioning of breeds. In my view that is a great pity and it prevents both sensible comparison Continued on page 82

Twisting my blue, black and white plaid shorts in both hands, I wring out as much water as is possible before sliding them back onto my body.

Gretchen Schultz This is a “proposal” that’s been around for decades.

The delegates are there to give us a voice. The more people involved in the making of a decision the less chance of one occurring! I believe this is a positive proposal as well as one with merit.

Barbara Miller I have very strong opinions about awarding points for Reserve Winners. I firmly feel these points dilute the meaning of earning a championship. It seems to me the exhibitors, the ones in the trenches weekly, have little or no input on any decision affecting our dogs in the show ring. We have at the moment, Reserve Best in Show, Awards of Merit, Selects and Grand Champions of every color metal. What’s next?

According to the official Minutes of the September Delegates Meeting there was no discussion pro or con relative to the proposal to add a major for Reserve Winners at certain National Specialties - just an unrecorded voice vote which indicated over a 2/3 agreement.

Show and my answer was a quick “Yes.” As long as the AKC puts it out there I’d be foolish not to go along with it. But deep in my heart we weren’t broke so why are we trying so desperately to fix it? To answer the core of your question, are we the exhibitors the forgotten majority? Most certainly we should have been asked to offer our opinions on this matter and all others pertaining to our exhibiting of our dogs under the auspices of the AKC. Bryan Martin At the very least, were ALL individual National Parent breed clubs contacted for their position? No mention of discussion, pro or con, with percentages of those clubs in favor or not. Vote should have been recorded and published for all to see.

More transparency is needed!

DRESS CODE!

I

don’t know how many of you actually keep an eye on what is happening in the European dog world?

Well, I do- and especially after watching Crufts on my computer, I became aware of more than ever, something I have always known: The difference in “dress code” for handlers, the level of handling and even in some cases the performance of some judges.

Most of the performances we see in the rings over here are so flawless.

The dogs might not always be the greatest, but I dare say that the majority are well presented, trained and handled by people who seem to know what they are doing.

This makes it so much easier for judges to assess the dogs and not having to play the Guessing Game!

Whenever in discussion with European exhibitors, I have mentioned these aspects- I am being told that it is actually a Dog Show, not a Fashion Show! And that I have been brainwashed by the Americans!! They may of course be right, but for some reason: If I am in the ring with an excellent specimen of any breed I feel it would be disrespectful to the DOG

I grew up in a totally dog free environment until smitten by this bug! And a BUG was what my family thought my interest was. All stuff in the local media that was dog related was mainly negative- and I felt that dog people were looked upon as second class citizens.

Well- apart from the wealthy shipping families and their sporting dogs, which of course was a completely different “kettle of fish”.

So I would do whatever I could to upgrade the image, but it was not always helped by breeders and exhibitors.

Junior Handling- or Junior Showmanshiphas in my opinion been a good thing for the sport. Not only are the majority excellent handlers, but they are also suitably dressed.

In Scandinavia things have been much more relaxed than over here, but most people are trying -and again the majority of the successes go to well dressed people. Not because they are well dressed, but because I think the best trimmers/handlers know the importance and effect it has for the overall impression.

No doubt that the American Continued on page 94

babbling

A large number of people handling their dogs in the groups were dressed as if they had just come in from working in the backyard or had been out hiking.

Many of the exhibits were not presented or handled to their advantageand quite a few did not seem to enjoy the environment. In a way understandable, but all dogs entered have actually qualified for the event- so it should not be a novel experience !

In a way I find this rather charming- as going back to basics. In a way it opens some doors as you don’t have to be the greatest trimmer or handler in the world to compete…

itself to be dressed like a Tramp! (No, No I did not mean Trump!!)

In the UK it has always been a tradition that terrier handlers wore a suit and even a hat!

Could be as hot as hell, but the jacket and hat still stayed on.

And even the few ladies involved in those days wore hats- and often even gloves.

Sporting breeds and Hounds were normally handled by people in Hunting Gear- but for most breeds it was a “come as you are” policy!

But the interesting fact is that the most successful exhibitors were usually well dressed.

Could there be a link???

I think most of the top winning dogs are shown by people who take into consideration, not only their own appearance, but knowing that a well dressed person behind the dog improves the overall picture and image of the “equipage”.

That applies to the UK as well as Europe.

As judges I think we also appreciate that exhibitors make an effort in this respect. Not that it necessarily affects the result, but it kind of UPGRADES the event.

Inside The Sport SCOTTISH TERRIER PROPOSAL

BY PAT TROTTER

T

PHOTOS Courtesy of AKC

he recent arrival of The Bagpiper, the official publication of the Scottish Terrier Club of America, brought some very thought-proving messages regarding the relationship of parent clubs and their struggles to retain the purity of the breed standard. Unlike fanciers in the United Kingdom, where The Kennel Club has total authority over breed standards, American parent clubs have control

30 Dog News

of their breed standards and with that privilege goes much responsibility.

Breed standards in the U.S. became the domain of parent clubs when AKC published its first Complete Dog Book (originally Purebred Dogs) in 1929 complete with the disclaimer that AKC “assumes no responsibility for drawing up or forming these standards.”

Such word pictures describing the ideal for each breed are

critical to our sport. However, just as the original Constitution, the law of the land, has been subject to varying interpretations over the years and appropriately amended when necessary, so too are breed standards subject to constant review. When change seems necessary, parent clubs proceed accordingly in their efforts to get it right in spite of painful differences of opinion and resulting conflicts within their family of fanciers.

Currently at issue in the Scottish Terrier Club of America is the question of the length of the breed as described in the proportion section of the standard. Although the general appearance section describes the breed as compact and cobby, and the body section calls the terrier moderately short with a short strong loin, both are at odds with the measurements called for in the proportion section. There the dog is described as 11” from withers to set on of tail and 10” in height at the withers. When literally interpreted, this describes a rather long-backed dog contradicting the cobby descriptions of the breed.

The STCA is not the first parent club to deal with this problem. Both the English Springer Spaniel Parent Club and the English Cocker Spaniel Parent Club revised their standards in recent years when they realized that measuring length from shoulder to set-on of tail was counterproductive in creating a word picture of the ideal because it favored longer dogs than both clubs desired.

of course this boy was one of the high profile breeds and so had to pass the vet check first before allowing him into the group. As you may know this is a very controversial topic in this country at the present time. This boy has now had to pass the vet SIX TIMES, after his best of breed wins, crazy or what??

He is handled by Philip’s partner Bert Easdon, who has had an amazing run of successes with this breed. They have owned and/or bred 43 UK Peke champions, including for best in show winners. His remarkable pedigree shows that this boy’s grand-sire is Crufts BIS Ch Yakee Dangerous Liaison, his great grand-sire Ch St. Sanja Grand Finale at Yakee and his sire Ch Yakee For Your Eyes Only.

dogs were entered for the Three Counties Show. The dog section used to be held along with the huge general show, but some years ago now it was moved to a separate date and we lost out on being alongside this great agricultural site. There was yet more rain on the first two days of this 3-day show but by the third day the outdoor rings were so wet that they were unusable!!

On a good day this site is hard to beat, the wonderful Malvern Hills are a backdrop and of course you are very much in the Cotswolds at this show. Our senior all-rounder is Mrs. Ferelith Somerfield, she judging BIS at Montgomery a few years back. She was the best in show judge and she had quite a line-up of quality which included US imported Irish water Spaniel Show Ch & Am Ch Whistle Stop’s Elements of Magic, the Chinese owned Wire FT Terrier Ch Travella Star Craft for Frankie Leung. The well known Toy Poodle ‘Graham’ aka Ch Vanitonia You’ll See. The new champion Great Dane Jaydania Fred Astaire and the Rough Collie, a new one to top honors, Ch Treeview Love to Trenley. But Ferelith awarded best in show to Philip Martin’s Pekingese Ch Yakee Ooh Aah Cantona, an unusual name you might think?

Well if you are a football fan, Eric Cantona is a charismatic footballer, who played for a top English club, and this was what the fans liked to chant!! Anyway

shaw was #3 all breeds 2002 and #2 in 2003 and Ch Yakee If Only #2 all breeds in 2004 and #1 in 2005, I think usually handled by David Fitzpatrick.

One week later and it was back up to Scotland. There are three general championship shows in Scotland, two for the Scottish Kennel and this one, the Border Union Agricultural Show and held on the banks of the river Tweed and overlooked by the lovely old town of Kelso.

I have to say that exhibitors prefer this show above the others held by the Scottish Kennel Club mainly because the showground is more exhibitor friendly, you are allowed to park close to your benching tent plus it is held at a better time of the year when USUALLY the weather is better. I think also it has a more relaxed attitude, not so many in fluorescent jackets and walkie-talkies!! But once again, which has been for most of the year, the show was a wet one and so everything judged under marquees. All the best planning in the world can be undone by what falls out of the skyrain!!! There was quite a drop in entries for this show from

last years, 5,351, which is nearly 250 dogs down from 2011. Best in show was judged by Bill Browne-Cole, second generation breeder of the world famous Travella Wire Fox Terriers. Once again it was a toy dog that proved unbeatable when he awarded the Smooth Chihuahua Ch Copymear Celebration best in show. There have been several male Chi’s winning top awards but we think that this is the first bitch to gain this honor. Strangely there have been several female Longcoats to win BIS’s but no males!!

It seems a long time since the last selling exhibition entirely devoted to dog paintings was held in London. At one time they seemed almost to grow on trees.

A ROGUES GALLERY IN LONDON

BY NICK WATERS

R

ogues Gallery at Gallery 8, Duke Street, St. James’s, situated in the heart of London’s gallery and fine art district, goes some way to addressing the loss. It is a celebration of three years of dog painting by artist Dede Gold. Blink though and you may miss it for it is only on for two days, noon until 7.00pm on the 21st November, 10.00am until 10.00pm on the 22nd. Why two days I asked. “I want there to be a vibrant party atmosphere, a busy gallery, glass of wine and art, something a longer exhibitions won’t achieve.”

If you are in London then call by, meet Dede and admire the work of this Irish born artist. Breeds featured will include the Pointer, Weimaraner, Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Scarteen Hound from her native Ireland, Dalmatian, Dachshund, Great Dane, Boxer, Jack Russell, West Highland White Terrier and Lurcher.

Most of her dog paintings feature smooth coated breeds for Dede admits to being more comfortable

painting them: “I like to see the sheen on their coats and their anatomy” - and cites the Weimaraner as an example - “Its silky look and how the light shines on anatomical landmarks.” Being a self-confessed champion of the ‘underdog’, she enjoys painting Bull Terriers and Staffordshire Bull Terriers “Because life must be hard if you are born to be someone people are wary of, I see sadness in their eyes.”

Dede Gold arrived at being an artist somewhat later in life than most other professional artists. She was 35 and said to herself; “Why have I waited so long?”

B

rought up in the countryside near Waterford, her childhood was similar to that of so many other children in rural Ireland with a mixture of mostly mongrel dogs around and for her a moody skewbald pony. She spent her teenage years dedicated to Pony Club Tetrathlons and riding to hounds. The stable at the end of the garden is now her studio when she returns home to Ireland on extended visits.

Her first own dog arrived on the doorstep in a snowstorm and was called Blackie. He became something of a local celebrity; most mornings he would go to the bakers and help himself to a bun, would pay social calls on neighbours at dedicated times and unknowingly played therapy dog to someone suffering from depression.

Art was always lurking in her subconscious and with hindsight she would have liked to have gone to art school, but a profession was calling. Dede graduated in law from Trinity College, Dublin in 1993, practised briefly as a solicitor in London and dabbled in financial PR. Her ex-husband was racing manager to Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum and whilst living in Newmarket she rode out racehorses for a local trainer in the mornings and enjoyed a weekly life drawing class in Cambridge nearby.

A marriage breakup and back in London with a burning desire to explore the art world, her entry was perhaps not the most conventional. Four days a week she worked as gallery manager at the Sladmore Gallery in Jermyn Street specialising in animalier sculptures from the 19th and early 20th centuries, one day she studied art at the Lavender Hill Studios Atelier School – ‘a little bit of Florence in London’ – and for the other two days she sketched and painted at home.

In 2008 after a successful exhibition in London of charcoal sketches, she decided to ‘follow her heart’ by devoting her life to art.

Living in a small flat in Chelsea there is not the opportunity to have a dog but on regular walks in Battersea Park Dede sees many. She was not stimulated by human portraiture but the dogs she saw fascinated her and she wanted to capture them: “I love the individuality of the different breeds and the varying expressions and idiosyncrasies of individual dogs.” It was a chance meeting with a liver-spotted Dalmatian which became her defining encounter.

the Juniors speak had an amazing experience! In Name: Raina Moss juniors, I ended up competing in a very Age: 15 difficult group with many experienced Hometown: Battle and older junior Ground, Washington competitors. I worked well with Betty and made the cut in my group. I enjoyed the experience of being in the ring with all of these great handlers and it was unforgettable.

By Kimberly Silva Garrett How did you become involved in the sport?

In 2005 I rescued two English Springer Spaniels and the next year I decided to join the Clark County Dog 4-H program. After showing in 4-H for two years, I decided to compete at a higher level and get a dog to show in AKC juniors. My 4-H leader and Mom took me to an AKC show to watch juniors, where I met an Open Senior who showed a Clumber Spaniel. When the class was done she let me stack her dog and do a down and back. This is when I fell in love with the breed. Nearly a month later I came home with a Clumber Spaniel Puppy named “Betty”. I began showing her in AKC Juniors and Conformation when she turned 6 months old. I trained Betty, finished her to a Grand Champion and trained her in Obedience/Rally/Agility events. She is now 4 years old and I have been showing her throughout my entire AKC Juniors Career, achieving many wins and titles.

What is your favorite dog show moment, exclusive of a win?

My favorite dog show moment, exclusive of a win would definitely be the experience of showing at Westminster 2012. This was my first year qualifying and it was a great experience. I competed in both Junior and Breed classes. In the breed ring I was the youngest handler, and 46 Dog News

What is the best advice you can give to potential and current juniors?

The best advice I can give to a junior is that every judge is different with unique opinions. You may be awarded best junior one day and not even make a cut the next day. It can be hard when you lose after you have performed well, however, always demonstrate good sportsmanship and take time to congratulate the winner. If you keep working hard to improve the wins will eventually come.

If you could change one thing that you feel would improve the sport what would it be?

If I could change one thing that I feel would improve the sport it would have to be improved education for junior showmanship judges overall. One is regarding how each breed is correctly shown. For example, a judge should not request a dog to be stacked on a table, if the breed standard requires the floor or ramp.

Also, a judge should understand the appropriate gaiting speed for each breed shown. In my personal experience, I have been placed behind walking dogs and been expected to gait my dog too slowly to demonstrate the proper rolling gait of a clumber spaniel.

What are your plans in the sport once you age out of juniors?

When I age out of juniors, I plan on becoming a breeder and starting my own kennel, follow in my Dad’s footsteps. I want to become a judge as well, hopefully becoming a juniors judge and being able to judge the new kids who keep joining the sport. I would like to become a handler, too, and continue traveling and showing, hopefully taking on my own assignments.

The Trivia Behind The Results

Simi Valley – Santa Barbara – Conejo

After months and months of planning the weekend turned out to be magnificent.

The one factor that cannot be controlled is weather and this year the entire weekend was picture perfect.

This allowed for plenty of time to enjoy the California sunny days.

Handlers and exhibitors did not have to go to extreme efforts to keep the dogs comfortable.

It is always a great treat for the East Coast people to get away from the hot, humid days of a long summer.

I

n this day of instant Internet the results of the shows are known immediately. So publishing results in black and white just becomes old news.

What is interesting is some of the trivia behind the end results. Because of all the extra attractions of the weekend, dogs from different corners of the world come to be exhibited over the four days.

Besides Santa Barbara being known for a great climate it is also one of the garden spots of the world.

It has been referred to as “Western Rivera”. This makes for a very social long weekend for people that can make a mini vacation while still enjoying many dog activities. Missy Capone entertained many out of towners at her wonderful ranch Wednesday evening.

Missy made everyone feel so welcome and every step was taken for the comfort of the guests. After sunset there was a slight chill in the air. This was alleviated by heat lamps and wraps or jackets being provided. Two mini buses shuttled the guests from the host hotel. This allows for the guests not to have to drive the winding pass late in the evening after enjoying wonderful wines and cocktails. Young P.J. Capone has become involved with rodeos and it is a treat to see P.J. demonstrate his roping. An evening surrounded by horses, dogs, and magnificent Italian cuisine combined with some great dog people from different corners of the globe makes for the most memorable of evenings. Don and Nora Gau could not be in attendance this year, but were very kind to supply magnificent leis flown in from Hawaii for all of the guests.

It has become a tradition during the day on Thursday that Alex Geremia offers a garden tour of her St. Francis Ranch. Each year the garden expands greatly. It is always hard to believe that this magnificent ranch is such a short distance from the city limits of downtown Santa Barbara. The landscape and even the climate are so different. It is very much a desert climate, being very hot during the day and cold at night. After being entertained with the wonderful beauty of St. Francis, all of the tourists move to the Cold Spring Tavern for lunch. This wonderful tavern is nestled in the mountains and was a resting and dining stop for the stage coach drivers and passengers hundreds of years ago. It enables the guests to experience what life was like hundreds of years ago. Besides the intriguing atmosphere, the wine

Full of Surprises!

STORY & PHOTOS

W

ith two shows a year the editions follow each other fast and this year it was already the 85th edition. Last year the show had to be postponed due to the festivities around the centenary of the FCI and the result was amazingly good. However this year there was a serious drop down to 3841 entries, which is still a good entry. The committee was not unhappy but I suppose they had expected more dogs. Maybe there were just too many big shows the same weekend like Macon in France, Palermo in Italy and

Giessen in Germany, 3 countries that used to be well represented in Luxemburg and belong to the best scoring countries here.

From France there were 1263 entries, Germany had 718 dogs here and Italy 168.

Belgium was well represented with 695 dogs entered as was Holland with 417 dogs. Russia entered 82 dogs, Denmark 70, Spain 66 and the United Kingdom 30. One dog was from Ireland and 5 came from as far as Romania. The weather was splendid as often is the case and that affected the number of visitors. Some stand holders were happy, others not so. I think this is the most normal situation.

As usual the judges’ panel is full of surprises to stimulate the exhibitors to enter their dogs. Many of them are not so familiar with those exotic judges and count on a fair chance and not a predictable one.

Showing dogs is a pretty expensive hobby and not all exhibitors are breeders. So it is normal that they don’t want to waste their money to get a predictable verdict. 43 Judges were invited and they represented no less than 16 countries. Besides one judge from Canada, all others were invited from different European countries, north, south, east and west from Luxemburg.

The main ring looked splendid as usual, the music is tasteful and well chosen and the table with the cups impressive. Any judge who comes to Luxemburg for the first time is always positively impressed about the professionalism and the hospitality.

There was no judge with over 100 dogs/day in his ring but 99 dogs is almost as good. That was the case for Mrs. Elina Tan-Hietalahti from Finland on Saturday when she had the Labradors (67 entries) and the Flatcoats to judge, the highest day-score. For the highest score of the weekend she was beaten by Mrs. Sonia Pagani from Italy, who had 75 on Saturday and 76 dogs on Sunday. Mrs. Tina Taulos was, like Mrs. Elina Tan, another successful bet, with 68 dogs on Saturday and 79 on Sunday. Heiko Wagner from Germany had a weekend total of 125, the high number

Christine Rossier from Switzerland was invited to judge Spaniels and waterdogs on Saturday, good for 78 specimens.

On Sunday she had 58 dogs to judge.

A remarkable score was for Mr. Tony Howell-Thomas from the United Kingdom for he was invited for one breed only, the English Cocker Spaniel. He had a record entry of 92 dogs. Another nice score was for the Golden Retrievers, 62 specimen for Mr. Victor Lobakin from Russia. The Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were also well represented with no less than 85 specimens, all for Mrs. Maria Luisa Marchese from Italy. The Chihuahuas share their popularity too, but the 64 entries were reserved for Mr. Vanaken from Belgium and that counts also for the French Bulldogs, 45 males and 45 females who were subject to Mr. Victor Van Raamsdonck. Eye-catching on Sunday was the score of the Dobermanns, 61, judged by Mr. Rade Vesic from Serbia, the 91 Great Danes, divided over Mr. Heiko Wagner and Mrs. Resi Ruebelke from Germany, and the 49 whippets for Mr. Vittorio Passerino from Italy.

M

of Shelties, 42, has probably contributed to this success. Mrs. Martha Kips from Luxemburg had a very interesting score of 53 Border Collies while Guido Schaefer from Germany had its Australian cousin, the Aussie, good for 60 specimen. Along with the exceptional score of 41 Salukis, he finished his weekend with a good score of 120 entries. Rony Doedijns from Holland judged Spitz and Primitive breeds (groups five) on Saturday, good for 94 dogs, and together with the entries of Sunday he ended in a nice overall score of 129 dogs. Mrs. Ruth Wagner ended

with 135 dogs and that was mainly because she had a very good score of 81 wire haired Dachshunds. Mr. Klaus Strack from Germany judged breeds from groups five too and finished with a good score of 93 dogs. It was his only day to judge. Paul Jetgen from Luxemburg had a total score of 126.

On Saturday he only judged Rhodesian Ridgebacks and that helped him a lot on that way, 50 entries is a good score.

The Beagles were also numerous, Mr. Ahrens from Austria judged them on Saturday and he finished the weekend after having seen 125 dogs. Mrs.

rs. Marina Ostrovskaya from Russia was granted the great honor to judge the Best In Show this time. Her number 3 went to a Bullmastiff from the Netherlands, Champion Social Giant Thunder, owned

by AC Bolle. Entered in Champion class males, 2 ½ years old, under judge Mr. Roger Vanhoenacker from Belgium, he defeated 21 competitors and won the group judged by Mr. Peter Harsanyi from Hungary. Left from the BIS came the Borzoi “Russkiy Azart Olimp Imperium Civilitas” from Mrs. Maria Lazareva from Italy. She is a frequent podium winner in Luxemburg and it was the case again this time. The 28 Borzois were judged by Mr. Ostrovskaya herself, the group was judged

by Mr. Passerino. Olimp was entered in Champion class and is almost 4 years old.

Was it a surprise or not? The Best In Show dog was the bitch Kingpoint Catwalk from Mr. Christine Sonberg from Belgium, owner and breeder of many winning Pugs. Mr. Laurent Heinesche judged them on Saturday and picked her out from 43 competitors. The dog was entered in Champion Class and is almost 3 years old. Mr. Katalin Radvanszky from Hungary delivered the ticket for the finals.

This little Pug was born in Finland, bred by Veerho Tuija.

Let us hope that the Luxemburg show only had a little dip and will soon recover again. It still is a mystery to me why the autumn version is always less popular than the spring version; the titles to win are the same, the judges are well chosen as always, the layout and degree of professionalism is the very same…is it only because a long time ago there used to be only one show a year…in spring? Is that a valid reason?

Under-Appreciated Stud Dogs and Their Owners

By Carlotta Cooper

I

f you breed dogs you probably already know that most books and articles about canine reproduction focus on the bitch. We pay attention to choosing good stud dogs for breeding and to male dogs in the pedigree, but if you judged by the amount of ink devoted to care of the stud dog or to the trials and tribulations of the stud dog owner, we would have to conclude that the stud dog wasn’t nearly as important as the bitch. That’s unfortunate because, of course, it takes two to tango, and proper care of a good stud dog is both important and not something that should be taken for granted. It’s nice if you have a male who will perform on demand but it’s much better if you look after his needs on a regular basis so he can make his contribution under optimum circumstances.

Of course, in terms of time, the bitch owner spends weeks or months waiting for a bitch to come in season, frets while the breeding is being done, and then hovers anxiously for nine weeks during the pregnancy.

And that’s just the start. With the delivery, there are weeks of raising puppies ahead.

So, perhaps it’s understandable that there is much more written about care of the bitch.

Still, it is important to consider what the stud dog owner goes through. For a breeder with an established stud dog, there can be a steady stream of visiting bitches. While good quality bitches are welcome and a tribute to the stud dog’s potential or success, having a stud dog can be a double-edged sword.

A visiting bitch means disruptions in the home, especially if there are other males. Not all bitches are cooperative or happy about being away from their own home. Some bitch owners misjudge their bitch’s time in the estrus cycle and the bitch may have to stay longer than expected or have multiple progesterone tests which means extra trips to the vet. Sometimes bitches go in and out of season after they are sent to the stud dog owner. If the stud dog owner doesn’t live close to an airport, there may be many 3 am 54 Dog News

wake-up calls to pick up bitches or take them to meet planes. And sometimes, for whatever reason, a bitch may end up staying for a while after she is bred. The life of a stud dog owner often involves more than just supervising a simple mating or two. Even when breedings are done by artificial insemination things can get complicated.

Lisa Leavelle and her husband Kenn own (English Setter) MBIS & BISS Ch Editions The Aviator, OFA hips and elbows, BAER, handled by Larry Cornelius & Marcelo Veras during his show career. Leo is the sire of numerous champions in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. Leo comes from a Best In Show litter: two of his litter sisters were also Best In Show and multiple Best In Specialty winners. The litter was bred by Karen and Greg Corey and Conny Helms of Editions English Setters. Lisa has been in dogs for a long time.

She started out showing her mom’s German Shepherds and got her first English Setter with money she saved from babysitting. She worked for George Heitzman, Barbara Alderman, and Bobby Barlow. Today she can be quite eloquent about the travails of being a stud dog owner.

“For those “stud” owners considering offering your dog at stud, be aware that it’s not all $$$ and roses. Take into consideration the distance it is to the airport or a repro vet if you do chilled. Be ready to fork over money for VET fees for the bitch that needs progesterone testing because the owner is way off in calculations.

Hopefully you can recoup these.

“Be prepared to have a sleepless night or two because the poor girl misses her family and because your stud or other boys in the house are now aware of a girl in heat. Be ready to have someone on hand to help hold the girl who was once so sweet but is now ready to eat you and your stud dog when he gets within 5 feet of her.

“Be ready to install a covered run to exercise her in because the owner has just informed you she is an escape artist.

“Be ready to get up at 3 in the morning to head to the airport.

“Be ready to keep the bitch a while lonContinued on page 112

he ancient Egyptians believed that Anubis, a doglike God, oversaw the mummification of the dead and then escorted them to the afterlife.

Given that perhaps members of this early society would think it’s fitting that specially trained canines are tasked today with finding the human remains of historical and ancient civilizations.

A more difficult task Most people know about Human Remains Detection (HRD) Dogs trained to find and detect human remains because of the important role these dogs played in the recovery after 9/11. The dogs trained to detect historical and ancient human remains are less well known. The task performed by them, or Historical Human Remains Detection (HHRD) Dogs as they are called, is more difficult than that performed by the 9/11 HRD Dogs.

It’s more difficult because the scent HHRD Dogs are trained to detect—that which is given off by decades or even centuries old human remains--is much fainter than that of those who died recently. As a result, HHRD Dogs must keep their nose close to the ground and be slow, methodical workers. Searching an area for scent too rapidly could cause them to miss a grave.

What they detect As human soft tissue breaks down after death, it sinks into the soil. The decomposing tissue and the remaining bones have a signature human scent. Although the scent becomes fainter with the passage of time and after the decomposition process is complete, it never dissipates entirely. That signature scent is what HHRD Dogs detect when it rises up through the ground and reaches the surface.

“Sun light or light rain helps the scent rise above the ground’s surface, where it sometimes catches in the branches of trees or shrubs overhead and hovers there. Usually, though, the scent stays very close to the ground. Any disturbance such as the recent use of a weed whacker makes working an area extremely difficult for HHRD Dogs because it scatters scent that’s already faint,” says Lynne Engelbert, whose 2-year-old Border Collie, Piper, is a certified HHRD Dog. In the past, Engelbert trained and certified dogs in Disaster Search. Currently, she is a Trainer/Handler for the Institute of Canine Forensics (ICF). ICF is a non-profit

organization based in Northern California and dedicated to the advancement of Forensic Evidence and Human Remains Detection Dog teams. To that end, ICF encourages research in many facets of this field in order to provide a scientific basis for determining canine detection capabilities.

A variety of sources have requested assistance from ICF HHRD Dog and Handler teams.

“We’ve been asked to work a lot of pioneer cemeteries across the country by historical societies that want to protect them,” Engelbert says. “For example, we were called in to find the boundaries of the cemeteries in a ghost town called Bodie. It was an old silver mining town in the eastern Sierras.

“Our dogs had to locate the graves there because the wooden burial markers disintegrated. In instances like that, it’s usually known that a cemetery is located somewhere on a plot of land but no one knows exactly where. We use the dogs to find and define its exact boundaries. The dogs work the areas using free, hasty and/ or fine grid patterns to locate old burials, depending on the terrain and what they are searching for.”

When the dogs find the scent of a burial, they alert to it by either sitting or lying down.

After the burial is marked and recorded, the dogs continue working the area until they alert to another burial and it’s marked and recorded and so on. Because the handlers don’t know where the boundaries of the cemetery are, they keep working the dogs until they stop alerting.

Note: Even when a marker is present in a pioneer cemetery, human remains may not be buried there. Sometimes modern day descendants place a marker because they know their ancestor probably was buried in the area. The dogs confirm whether or not there truly is a burial where a marker was placed.

Their oldest confirmed find HHRD Dogs can detect human remains buried up to 9 feet deep as long as they aren’t under concrete. They also can detect human remains that are more than 1500 years old! HHRD Dogs are capable of these incredible scenting feats because the canine nose has 10,000 scent receptors for every scent receptor in the human nose.

In the summer of 2007, LABRYS o.p.s. Archaeologists was in charge of excavations being done in Zlicin on the Western outskirts of Prague. Mgr. Jiri Vavra, the Head Archeologist, extended an invitation to Ness, another ICF HHRD Dog, and her Trainer/Handler, Eva Cecil, to come and search for burials. When the dog and handler team worked an area previously unsuspected and unknown to contain human remains, Ness alerted. Excavation where she alerted revealed an intact human

skeleton and a glass vase dated to 450 A.D. (For more information about the dig in Prague and Ness’s spectacular detection work, those interested may visit http://www.k9forensic. org/prague-zlicin.htm.)

In addition to historical societies and archeologists, ICF has received requests for assistance from park services, the Bureau of Land Management and CALTRANS, the California state agency responsible for highway, bridge, and rail transportation construction and maintenance. Individuals and construction companies also have enlisted their aid.

“A property owner in the Sierra foothills wanted to sell his land,” Engelbert says. “A potential buyer contacted us after he heard rumors there was a cemetery on the property.

While training at a real excavation site, Ness alerts to a known grave.

Photo by Luke Cecil.

All four of our dogs alerted in the same area, so, we were certain there were burials present. When the potential buyer learned this, he no longer was interested in purchasing the property.

The seller became angry and decided to prove the dogs were wrong. He went out with a backhoe and started digging where the dogs alerted. He didn’t dig for very long, though, because his backhoe hit a wooden coffin.”

Because their dogs often work historical cemeteries, Engelbert and the other ICF Handlers rarely get to “ground truth” their dog’s finds.

“Unless it’s an archaeological dig, the earth isn’t dug up so we can verify a burial is actually where our dogs alerted to one. This instance was one of the few times when our dogs’ finds were physically verified.”

Although HHRD Dogs are specifically trained to find and alert to historical and ancient human remains, they also sometimes work Cold Cases as old as 35 years at the request of law enforcement agencies.

“Two of our dogs recently worked a Cold Case involving the murder of two young women 15 years ago near Linden, CA. Law Enforcement had a rough idea of where their bodies might be buried.

The dogs were called in to pinpoint the exact location and that’s exactly what they did. The two killers already were sentenced to life imprisonment but one never served out his sentence because he committed suicide. By finding the burial location, we helped bring closure to the families of the two murder victims that day,” Engelbert says.

Characteristics and training Canine candidates for HHRD Dog training have a low reactivity level, high play and prey drives, and are food or toy motivated. Herding and hunting breeds are the best choice because they have a natural desire to go find something, which can be channeled into detection work. Continued on page 114 Dog News 61

All In The Family THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’

H

ave you heard the Bob Dylan tune,” The Times They Are Achangin’?” Yes, history is in the making. Get ready and be prepared for change, as change is continuing in the dog world, whether you are ready for it or not. And tomorrow’s dog world will be here whether we approve or not.

Obviously, having retired from the AKC after a very successful career makes me a lifetime loyal supporter. I certainly bleed “blue blood” fur. However, in searching the Internet, which seems to be technology’s modern day parallel to the Bible, I find quite a few dog people who are very vocal against the AKC. And I just don’t understand why.

What has brought on the various pessimistic comments against the AKC? Is it the dissatisfaction due to the compliance requirements? Is it the cost of doing business with a “top notch” organization? Is it a fabricated payback perpetrated by suspended AKC members? Or, could it be the relinquished continuation of falsehoods being spread by outside not-for-profit dog activist groups?

Whatever the fabricated cause may be, we who love the sport of purebred dogs must promote ourselves as an army of one and go after the enemy. Again, I just don’t know, do you?

Perhaps after a hundred plus years in the dog business, it may be time for some changes. I know this scenario has a bad taste, as human nature just doesn’t like change of any shape or form. Nevertheless, it may be worth a peek.

The American Kennel Club is a “club of clubs”, and not a club of individuals.

There are over 500 clubs that meet AKC membership requirements and have duly elected or appointed Delegates to represent them at quarterly meetings of the Delegate Body. Each Delegate functions as a representative of his or her member club in voting on matters coming before the Delegate Body and electing from amongst their membership the thirteen individuals who serve on AKC’s Board of Directors. Under the Constitution and Bylaws of The American Kennel Club, the Delegate Body “... shall have sole power to make the Rules governing dog shows and field trials and the clubs or associations formed to conduct them.” (Taken from the AKC Web Site)

By Charles C. Robey So, here we go AKC, just put on your “thinking caps” and let your imagination roll. Why not consider: • Forming a “Citizens Advisory Board or Committee” composed of Delegates, who represent the everyday “foot soldiers”. Those loyal breeders, out in the field, who breed as a business. Those whose track records continue to give integrity to the AKC, not like the so called backyard breeders or puppy mills. This working group surely could give great insight into the AKC moving forward.

• Having an AKC open “question and answer” forum presented on a well-known television channel, such as the “Animal Channel.” The panel could consist of professional dog handlers, vets, and your everyday pet dog owners. To be successful, the forum would need a well planned marketing campaign.

• Accepting the non-purebred dogs, such as designer dogs and rescue dogs, into the registry, as non-classified breeds. These dogs would be required to have legitimate purebred parents, similar to registering from foundation stock or foreign registries, such as the Dam and Sire, of the designer dogs, having a three-year documented pedigree.

Or a rescue dog being legitimately registered. In other words, no “Heinz 57’s” would be allowed.

• A separate fee system could be set up to support the non-classified dogs. Both groups could conceivably have separate competitions, such as shows, conformations, etc.

• Accepting the various justifiable not-forprofit rescue groups into the AKC organization.

These groups could then organize and attend the various local club meetings as non-voting members. This would give the questionable dog activist groups competition.

Rather radical thoughts, wouldn’t you say?

However, AKC may need to get ahead of the other dog registries and move back to the forefront.

After all, AKC started this crazy dog business over a hundred years ago. Classic cars are great. However, I don’t think a Model “T” Ford would hold up against a modern day “Honda” SUV. Do you?

Now, I love my former livelihood, AKC. And would do anything to help the advancement of the “purebred” dog initiatives. I can’t help but think those “internet” gossips are just plain wrong. Like the New York Yankees, when you are the best in your field, everyone is out to get you and you have to fight everyday for your life. So, we who love the dog world must prove them wrong.

AUTHOR’S NOTE urrently, no government institution or animal organization is responsible for tabulating national statistics for the animal protection movement. However, the following estimated statistics were combined from a variety of “dog humane societies”, listed on the internet, in an effort to support the theme of this article.

• 6-8 Million dogs enter shelters each year • 3-4 Million dogs are euthanized each year.

• 26 percent of dogs are purchased from breeders • 2-10 percent of dogs are purchased from pet shops • 20 percent plus of people are repeat shelter customers • 15-30 percent of shelter dogs are reclaimed by owners • And, only 25 percent of dogs entering shelters are purebred.

C

You do the math. Purebred dogs are not the main shelter problem. Purebred dogs are bred by responsible breeders, are purchased by responsible dog lovers and do receive lasting owner care.

You see, counting the 25 percent purebred dogs received in shelters, minus a portion of the 30 percent of shelter dogs that are returned to owners probably makes for a small percentage of purebred dogs remaining in the shelters.

However, can this 25 percent of misplaced purebred dogs be salvaged? And what about the remaining 75 percent? Could not many of these dogs have a proper rescue, as well as being recognized by a legitimate dog registry, such as the AKC? The market is wide open. So, are registries, such as the AKC, missing out on a great opportunity to promote a caring and loving dog atmosphere?

A Demonstration in Orange at the State CapitOl

By Patricia Gail Burnham

B

eth Anne emailed me an announcement for a proposed demonstration at the State Capitol opposing SB1221 (the ban on hunting bears and bobcats with scent hounds). It would take place on Sept 15th.

Apparently the organizers had copied the open field coursing list. I had been surprised at not being invited to any earlier demonstrations against this bill. Clear back in 2003 we had demonstrated against another bill to ban bear hunting and had defeated it. It never made it out of committee.

But this year’s bill had been passed by the House and Senate. All that remained was for the Governor to sign it. The hunters hoped to influence the Governor to veto 1221. I told the organizers that I would attend and bring a pair of Greyhounds. (If hunting with trail hounds could be banned, coursing with sight hounds would not be far behind.) They already tried to ban coursing years ago and we beat that one in committee also. And having defeated the two mandatory spay and neuter bills, AB1634 and SB250, I had faith that enough demonstrators could have an effect on the legislators. It had worked for us up till now.

I intended to bring Greyhounds because news photographers love to shoot pictures of dogs and Greyhounds would give them more variety than just scent hounds. But

Cute - But - Tough Hunters

BY M.J. NELSON

T

he English idiom “You can’t judge a book by its cover” applies perfectly to the West Highland White Terrier. If you draw the obvious conclusion based only on how the breed looks, you are in for a major surprise. They may look cute and cuddly but they really are tough little dogs that would rather be running around chasing rodents, or anything else for that matter, than sitting on a couch being part of some interior decorator’s design scheme. Among other game animals, Westies were developed to hunt badgers.

For those of you who grew up in a city or whose knowledge of badgers is limited to “Bucky,” the anthropomorphic badger that prowls the sidelines during University of Wisconsin football games, it’s important to know that badgers are not exactly friendly critters. It takes very little to convince a badger, which outweighs the average Westie by at least ten pounds, to become mean, ornery and downright nasty. A long-time friend, hunting

partner and wildlife biologist once said that the best description he’d ever heard of badger temperament was “Irascible.” Pound for pound, a badger would rate right up there with wolverines in the ferocity department. I’ve seen badgers successfully fight off coyotes and the “bout” wasn’t even close. All of which means that the ball of white fluff on the living room couch has a whole lot more going for it than just cuteness.

“You always have to remember what a Westie was developed to do,” said Angie Jennings, who owns “Mic” (Stellar Mighty Micloud CD RAE OJP TT TDI FDCh-G TFIII) and “Rudy” (Amis’ Thinkin’ I’m Bad Like My Dad TDX BN RAE AX AXJ OF NAP NJP NFP CAA RS-O JS-O GS-N FDCh-G TFI TDI.) “They are natural hunters that are bred to go to ground after something that is likely larger than they are. They hunt in packs or alone. They are independent thinkers. Unlike a breed that is bred to take commands and perform a function for a human, Westies will easily become bored with mundane or repetitive exercises. Although they are willing

to please, most need positive rewards and a fun training atmosphere. They are a high drive, very intelligent and athletic breed.”

“In general, Westies are very food motivated and prey driven,” said Lysiane Huber, who owns MACH2 Riley Piper Paige RAE MXS MJG NAP OJP CGC AC OJC TN-N TG-N (“Riley”) and AKC GCh/ UKC CH Dawn’s Stir ‘N Up Trouble RE ME EE MXP MJP OFP NAJ CGC CG NAC (“Rhys.”) “This permits a number of options for getting and holding their attention for training.

you recognize and acknowledge these characteristics, a Westie will gladly do whatever task you ask of them. I think people in general try to put everything and everyone in ‘boxes’ and attach labels to them. So, in the dog world, I’ve heard many people say things like ‘Oh it’s a Westie and terriers are generally naughty dogs so they can’t be trained’ and they won’t do well in obedience or rally or agility or whatever. This has certainly not been true for my dogs. Any dog can do any sport as long as they are physically fit and don’t have health limitations. It’s just about finding what drives that dog to work and transferring that desire to

whatever sport you choose.”

“Westies are intelligent, they have a tenacious attitude and they possess problem-solving abilities.

These attributes are combined with a very sturdy and muscular body. But, somehow the notion has circulated that they are not good at dog sports and that has created problems with trainers’ attitudes toward Westies and their handlers. This notion is completely false and I believe we are slowly proving that the opposite is true as more Westie owners get involved in the various dog sports,” said Danielle Gimbel, who owns Ch Kirkton’s Christmas in July VCD1 RE MXP MJP2 SE AWTA/CG WHWTCA/ Master of Versatility (“Dickens”) and Christie Warble Phantom CD RE OAP OJP ME EE AWTA/CG WHWTCA/Versatile Dog Excellent (“Christie.”)

Sil Sanders agreed with Gimbel’s statement about Westies and trainers. “Finding instructors who understand Westies is difficult. Even finding an instructor who knows something about terriers is rare.

When you do find one, they tend to have large terriers and they don’t seem to ‘get’ the needs of a physically smaller dog. One thing about Westies, and other breeds for that matter, is that they are willing to quit when they perceive that the reward is not worth the difficulty/subjugation/tedium of the exercise you want them to do. Raising the reward in these situations is essential but you also have to raise it in a way that the dog needs to understand that he has to perform the activity freely in order to earn the reward. QT (Ch CT CKCCh Camcrest-Rime Q’d Up for Trouble VCD1 RAE TDX2 AX OAJ MXP AJP NF OFP EE NW1 GAME2 MV4 CKCTDX UTD SE) stopped enjoying agility when he was successful too quickly and had to face complex courses when he hadn’t had the training experience to properly prepare him for them.

the-reward and control the frequency of events so he continued to be successful but eventually he convinced me to do things we both enjoyed like tracking and earthdog.”

The sensible thing to do with a Westie, according to Lorraine Pelter, is to try a variety of activities with your dog and let the dog tell you what they want to do. “Although Westies can do it all, some are more adept in one activity.

They are as individualistic as people.

For example, the activity that turned out to be the most difficult for AJ (Aquablanca American Jewel VCD1 RAE BN AX AXJ XF MXP AJP MFP JE CD-C CL3 CL3R CL-H CL3-S CL3-F PG1 PS1 PR1 + Agility Dog of Canada) was the one for which he and all Westies were bred— earthdog. Some Westies are naturals at it and need no encouragement to enter a dark, underground tunnel to get at the rats. AJ had problems putting it all together and often went right to the end but then he wouldn’t bark at the rats or otherwise work them in the required time. When he finally learned how to play the game, he was able to get his title within a month’s time. I contrast

that to my three-year-old Ellee (BonnieWee Blue Diamond BN RE NJP NFP JE CD-C CTL1 CTL-R CTL-H CTL-S CTL-F CTL2 CTL-R CT;-H CT;-S CT;-F), who titled the same weekend as AJ after just a few tries.”

Jody Brinley added that Westies can be very independent and that can pose problems both in training and competition. “Keeping them focused and interested can be a considerable challenge.

At the same time, when they are doing something they really love, getting them to listen can be troublesome. Hatteras (Ch Bryn Lea’s Bella Vista Sunrise RA OAP OJP NFP SE) is really good at a lot of different things but we’re having difficulty at the moment in master earthdog. She hunts just fine but doesn’t want to listen to me which means I have trouble controlling her on that aspect of the test. Rally and agility can also be a problem when they are in outside rings. Westies are small dogs whose noses are close to the ground and they can be easily distracted by some scent they pick up. As far as getting them to focus, I do focus exercises with my dogs during commercials of television shows, two minutes at a time for each dog. I had some problems getting the open agility title with Tucson (Ch Dawn’s Southwestern Sunrise RA NA OA NAJ OJP SE) as I was going for the versatile dog excellent title that our national club gives and I needed one more qualifying score in either jumpers or standard. I think my stress affected his running. Once we finally did reach that, I ‘retired’ him for awhile. I left him home and took the other dogs to class. I think he got jealous because we had some run-throughs at the training center one time and I took him along to run him for the fun of it and he took off like he’d never run before. So I entered him in a few NADAC trials and he loved it!”

Jennings noted that the “name of the game” with Westies for any event is keeping it fun for the dog. “I had to become really creative with my training techniques to keep things fun. Everything had to Continued on page 118

Rare Breeds of the world

THE ABYSSINIAN SAND TERRIER or AFRICAN HAIRLESS DOG.- ETHIOPIA

J

ust finished reading the captivating “The Dovekeepers”*, a book by Alice Hoffman, about the Sicarii Jews of Masada in Israel. The mass suicide that happened there is a very well known historic event, and until not long ago -for me- very singular and unique, but after some research I realized that in fact there were two mass suicides in the history of the Jewish people. The first event, Masada, happened during Roman times: “Herod the Great built the fort Masada between 37 and 31 BC as a refuge for himself. A group of Jewish called the Sicarii overcame the Roman fortification. After the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD, the Roman governor of Judaea Lucius Flavius Silva laid siege to Masada. In the spring of 73 BC the Romans breached the walls of the fortress and discovered that its 960 inhabitants had set all the buildings ablaze and committed mass suicide.

The second mass suicide happened in 1624 when the Ethiopian “Beta Israel” Jews who had enjoyed relative independence throughout the Middle Ages were threatened by the locals and fought their last battle for autonomy against Portuguese-backed Ethiopians.

At the end when the situation was irreversible, hundreds preferred to take their own lives than be taken prisoners. This mass suicide was denominated the “Ethiopian (Beta Israeli’s) Masada” .” In the modern

era Beta Israel people lived in North and North-Western Ethiopia, in more than 500 small villages spread over a wide territory of the region, but some years ago almost all the population emigrated to Israel.

Curious as always I searched about an Ethiopian (former Abyssinia) dog. It is refreshing to “travel” from Europe to Africa, a continent called by many cultures for being the cradle of humanity as “Mother Africa” where each country has its own history with particular features.

Now think about this; if Africa is the continent where the human life actually began, would it not be possible that the pre historical dog of the Eocene era the Miacis (56/58 millions of years BC) (my imagination) walked all over this continent too?

Ethiopia -as for instance England or France- has a long chain of events until emerging as the country we know today, but presently, not as the other two this country is mentioned mostly for its many problems more than for anything else. Ethiopia is one of the oldest nations in Africa. Its people remained Orthodox Christians even though the people of many other African countries converted to Islam following Muslim expansion into Africa in the 800’s. Unfortunately, it also has a history of droughts and famines, Continued on page 137

E

ddie Boyes' birthday usually falls on the Montgomery weekend as does that of the indomitable Jackie Gottlieb. Cindy usually found and probably still does go to an ultra-sophisticated restaurant in the area to help celebrate her mother's birth date and for years we would be invited and happily attend. Also getting lost for hours thereafter trying to find our way back as these places were usually in remote spots and those were the days before the GPS's existed. But as our involvement in Skyes got more and more intense and competitive we had to beg off of those tempting invites to go through the laborious task of washing and drying Skyes on Saturday night to have them picture perfect for Sunday's show. My job in those days was to go to the corner WAWA near the Fort Washington Holiday Inn and buy the food for the workers who usually varied among being Maripi and Jen or Kirsi Sainio from Finland and Gene and we watchers Ruth Cooper and myself! Ruthie of course was a whole story in herselfshe would arrive at our home usually on Monday or Tuesday before Montgomery and we would take the laden down car to the shows in tandem. Ruthie sometimes would stay with us at the Fort Washington Inn causing her own form of chaos, which included flooding the third floor out one year or else she would have roomed with Annie Clark in the truly old days. In any event somehow the tradition began about going to Friendly's to celebrate Eddie's birthday to the great delight of both Ruthie and Eddie. They both loved the egg salad sandwiches and the ice cream which followed at Friendly's while Lesley, Gene and I and whomever their kennel help may have been suffered through those meals, not so silently I may add. We still end up at Friendly's on Saturday night but not to eat dinner thank heaven but for ice cream and cake and now it is with Jim Smith and Dana but Ruthie is with us in spirit that's for sure.

After Montgomery was over our other big eating tradition was to go to the Roy Rogers I think it was-the first rest stop on the New Jersey Turnpike where we would meet Mrs. Fell, Barbara Miller and her crowd and the Lows and talk the weekend over whilst eating fast food. That too has halted

as times have changed and the desire to get home outweighs most all other considerations.

How can one reminisce about Montgomery without telling some "Doc" stories? Who among us has not in one way or another been buttoned down by her dry wit and humor. Along with many we would arrive at the Montgomery venue wherever it may have been at 6 or 6:30 am. Jo would have been on the scene already no matter what time you got there and when she saw me the first thing she insisted upon was that I wear the Montgomery Press Badge. I would say but Dr. Deubler I am an exhibitor today and she would say wear it anyways--as only she could do. I was then offered a Catalogue by her and given drink tickets!!! Those were in the days one was allowed to drink on the grounds. Usually I would have seen her just the week before when Westbury was Westbury and she would come to support the "show of distinction". Sitting under the judges' tent she would seek my advice about some controversial subject but only if I was far away enough from her that the entire tent could hear her question. It was like the old stock brokerage ad on television-when someone asks the world comes to a stop to listen. That would happen there annually.

She also once announced at Montgomery that if a certain exhibit won Best she would not have her picture taken with it-it turned out to be an exhibit I co-owned (not a Skye I hasten to add). It was awarded Group 2 but I think had the judge heard her pronouncement it would have won the Best just to see her reaction since there was no love lost between the two of them with which to begin. In any event we've done decently in the Groups at Montgomery and certainly cannot complain about our exhibits' breed and class winnings there either. Once we were showing a Skye bitch under someone basically unknown to us as a judge and the person was very unsure of them self in the ring. Annie Clark came over to watch this class bitch which we had bred and was quite beautiful but young and inexperienced.

After watching the judge do the dogs Annie said to Gene now here's what you do-when the judge calls the class take the bitch and immediately set it up on the table and take

nyone who has had the unfortunate experience of watching his or her canine companion suffer with illness and eventually succumb to death knows how heart wrenching that can be. Anyone who has experienced job loss or economic troubles also knows how difficult the decision to keep a pet and the choices one has to make in order to do so can be. Marlo Manning, who has experienced both the loss of a job and the passing of a pet, decided to do something to help those who find themselves in a situation where they may have to relinquish their dog to a shelter because they can no longer afford the dog’s care.

Marlo and her husband had rescued the approximately ten year-old dog named Ladybug from a shelter back in 2005. In their four years together, Ladybug suffered through several maladies: liver issues, failing eyesight, doggy dementia and cancer, and finally passed on January 31, 2009.

“After she passed I had all this medicine and stuff and thought it was wasteful to get rid of it,” said Marlo.“I was grief stricken but I went to my vet and brought the medicine back and told her to give it to a family that couldn’t afford it. Then I asked if there was a way to sponsor a dog for a family that couldn’t afford it. A lot of people would’ve given up the dog because they couldn’t afford it. That triggered the idea. The day I went to pick up Ladybug’s ashes I asked my vet if there was an organization that’s doing what we’re doing and she said there wasn’t. So I looked on the Internet and researched and couldn’t find one.”

Less than two months after Ladybug’s passing, on March 26, 2009, Fairy DogParents was born.

“I didn’t know what I was doing right away,” Marlo said.“I knew what I wanted to do. I’ve been in business my whole life so I knew what I needed to do. I kept they approach that ‘if you build it they will come.’

First we had to get a board together as required by law.”

Fairy DogParents founder Marlo Manning with her two rescue dogs, Scout, a Springer, and Daisy, a German Wirehaired Pointer. tion to fruition were considerable.“It costs a lot to file as a 501c3 charity, it costs a lot to file as a corporation,” she said.

“Quite honestly, I charged most of it. Then we had a fundraiser. The first one was the most successful. We raised four thousand dollars. When people understood what we did they wanted to be part of it. We are not a shelter, we are not a rescue, and we are not a clinic.”

What Fairy DogParents is, is a nonprofit organization made of up fifteen volunteers that can be the difference between whether or not a dog ends up in the shelter system and possibly euthanized or continues to live with a loving owner. It provides assistance with food, medical and general wellness needs to qualified recipients in the state of Massachusetts. It is one hundred per cent dependent on donations and all payments go directly to those providing goods and services. The goal of the organization in its first year was to help three dogs; it ended up helping 27.

“We knew there was this need but there was no model to copy,” Marlo said.“In the animal community word spreads.” With the creation of a web site and some subsequent articles in various media outlets, word was indeed spreading.“The second year we helped over seventy-five dogs, the third year over one hundred and we’re about to hit four hundred,” Marlo said.

Not everyone in need will qualify for assistance, however. Though there are plans to expand, currently those eligible must be residents of Massachusetts. Manning explains other criteria for assistance:“Bottom line is,

OFF THE LEASH number one, the dog has to be truly at risk of going to a shelter or being euthanized because the owner cannot afford care…the dog also has to be spayed or neutered or the owner has to agree to have it spayed or neutered unless the dog is not ready to be under anesthesia. All other dogs in the home must be spayed/neutered as well. The ultimate goal is to reduce the number of dogs in shelters.”

There are limits to the amount of aid available to recipients, with general wellness capped at $300 and acute care at $800 per year. However, Manning said, “On rare occasion we may solicit further donations with a call to action to the public. Only maybe three times a year.” Some people become so attached to certain dogs and their stories that they want to keep tabs on them and continue sponsoring them. One such example was the pit bull mix Skywalker, who was training to be a service dog for an autistic child.

Last Valentine’s Day, it was discovered that Skywalker had a hole in his heart. Fairy DogParents raised over $6000 for Skywalker and the Tufts Medical Center saved his life.

When the hole reopened, they closed it again. Skywalker is still in training for service dog certification due to the setbacks he’s had with the surgeries but the prognosis is promising.

“Whenever there’s media coverage there’s a spike in donations, then there’s a spike in applications and then there’s a lull,” Marlo said.“Some people have been sending in checks from the beginning because they believe in what we do. We were fortunate to be on the national news in 2010, 2011 and 2012 and because of that we’ve been able to do what we do. Sometimes we get anonymous donations with like forty dollars in an envelope and someone keeps sending me five giant bags of dog food to my house each month. I don’t even know how they found out where I live.”

Ladybug, Manning’s rescue dog whose death inspired the launching of Fairy DogParents.

When asked about seeking celebrity endorsements for the project, Manning said she was leery of aligning the organization with someone who may turn out to be a train wreck of negative publicity à la Lindsey Lohan.

In addition to donations of unopened canned and dry dog food, Fairy DogParents is in need of postage stamps, Lexmark Brand # 44 and #43 printer cartridges, used printer cartridges for recycle/credit, fund-raising ideas, gift cards to Office Max or Staples, printing copy paper, and used Verizon enabled iPhone or iPads, which allow them to collect donations at events. Manning’s operation is home and Mac based.“We don’t have employees or facilities,” she said.

Last year, Fairy DogParents took in more than $175,000. Of the donations Manning said,“The only money that doesn’t go to dogs is liability insurance.” Other costs include maintaining the web site and a phone bill that is regularly in the $300 a month range. Each day, Manning estimates she receives between 30-50 emails and 12-25 voicemails from people seeking assistance.

Some of those are also from people seeking to start their own branches of the organization in their home states. Manning paints an honest picture for those seeking to embark on such a journey.

“You need about thirty or forty hours a week,” she said.“You have to be absolutely dedicated to what it is and getting it done.

We need a team to take phone calls, which can be absolutely excruciating to listen to.”

Calls come from desperate people who are facing major obstacles such as death and the loss of a job, a home, a limb, a partner, or a child.“There’s always a layer of the human condition in there that’s tough to listen to,” she said.“It’s tough to sleep at night. I share that with people and I think I scare them

away. You need to raise fifty thousand dollars a year to do this. You need to say no to some people who don’t qualify.”

Nevertheless, Manning plans to grow the organization, but said, “we have to figure out where” and that we “haven’t found the right interested party yet to expand.”

Yet, she’s cautiously optimistic for the future of Fairy DogParents.

“I think this year is going to be a telling year,” she said.“We had some board member changes, we’re applying for grants. My goal for 2012 is to be able to grow it. To have a playbook in place because our mission is so narrow and important.” (They only assist dogs and dog owners at the moment, despite cat, rabbit and horse owners who have also been seeking their assistance in this depressed economy).“We need to make sure that whoever helps us grow doesn’t stray from that. Through the end of 2013, we’re going to be training people [in other states] to help, and set-up fund-raisers and hope to be able to hand it over to them in 2014.”

In addition to saving dogs and providing assistance to their owners, Manning also holds a full time job as the head of Human Resources for a marketing firm in Boston. Of her avocation she said, “I don’t have kids; I have two dogs (both rescues, a German Wirehaired Pointer and a Springer) and a very understanding husband. I’m never home and when I am I’m on the phone helping people with their dogs.”

Not that she’s complaining.

She remains committed to the cause, saying,“Before I die I would like to say that we prevented ten thousand dogs from dying.”

from one country to another and it also impedes the measurement of trends both by the breeds themselves and as between breeds. Is the reason for this that AKC registration numbers have been so poor in the last few years as to make them unpalatable? This suppression of data would seem to me to be a very bad idea - if not actually even a puerile idea. If a breed is falling in numbers to very small figures, the enthusiasts for the breed ought to be aware of just exactly what the numbers actually are in absolute terms. Hiding that from them would seem to be doing a disservice to the breed and a disservice to those who care about the breed. Awareness of falling popularity numbers might well spur breeders on to do something more about the situation and attempt to make even greater efforts to make the breed more popular. Hiding the facts is probably about the worst thing you could do.

But maybe I am wrong and the individual breeds are perhaps aware. Maybe it is just that I am not able to find these particular statistics – if so I apologise to the AKC for having maligned them. If on the other hand it is a deliberate policy it would seem to be a very misguided one.

REGISTRATION COMPARISONS Returning to the registration trends for terriers in our two respective countries, Miniature Schnauzers are at the top of the list in the USA but in the UK they are not in the terrier group at all. In the USA the next six top terriers are 1 - West Highland Whites, 2 - Bull Terriers, 3 - Soft Coated Wheatens, 4 - Scottish, 5 - Airedale and 6 Cairn Terriers in that order. The equivalent rankings in the UK are 1 - Border Terriers, 2 - Staffordshire Bull terriers, 3 – West Highland Whites, 4 – Bull Terriers, 5 – Cairn Terri82 Dog News

ers and 6 – Scottish Terriers.

Airedales rank 8th in the UK listings and Soft Coated Wheatens rank only 15th . The bottom six breeds in the USA in ascending order are Skyes, Sealyhams, Dandie Dinmonts, Glen of Imaals, Lakelands, and Bedlingtons. In the UK they are Ceskies, Skyes, Australians, Sealyhams, Glen of Imaals and Dandie Dinmonts.

The reasons why these differences exist between one country and the other are, as I have said before, rather difficult to work out.

People put forward various theories. Some say that the greater prevalence of the professional handler in the USA means that certain breeds are more popular in the show ring there because the professionals are better at preparing them. Others, strangely enough, seem perversely to use the very same reasoning to explain the opposite view for some breeds; namely that the dominance of professionals with their increased presentational skills, is the very reason for the breed enjoying less not more popularity in the show ring.

DOMINANT KENNELS In some other breeds, especially in a geographically small place like the United Kingdom, a very dominant and high quality kennel in a breed in the show ring may well have the effect of reducing the number of competitors in that breed at shows, simply because they feel that they can never aspire to breed, show and present dogs as well as the dominant kennel can.

In the UK people claim that those terrier breeds that are ‘easier’ to present are numerically stronger in the ring. People’s lifestyles are now such that spending your spare time preparing a

dog for show is not high on everyone’s priority list. Certainly it seems to be pretty well universally agreed that maintaining a Sealyham in really top show condition is probably one of the most difficult tasks for any terrier person - even more difficult for some people than doing the same for say a Wire Fox Terrier. Hence the relative unpopularity of the breed? But why would Australian Terriers be so low down the list in the UK and why would Airedales be so high?

Admittedly Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Bull Terriers being smooth-coated have a greater chance of remaining in show condition longer without the constant trimming required in some other breeds. The presentation and coats of Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers in the USA maybe lend themselves to somewhat easier coat treatment than the standard presentation in Ireland or in the UK. But it always amuses me that some terrier people who don’t know any better think that it is very easy to present a Border Terrier for the show ring. They look natural and, for the most part, untouched.

But that is, to some extent, the trick of good presentation in the breed.

perament, ease of care and maintenance and to a very large extent fashion. We in Border Terriers in the UK, as has been mentioned in Dog News recently, are ‘suffering’ high popularity because of some simple fashion trends.

The tennis player Andy Murray and a number of other UK celebrities have given publicity to the fact that they own Border Terriers and the demand for the breed immediately rose. It is also used in a number of TV ads and all of that increases the breed’s ease of recognition and hence its popularity.

Add to that the fact that, so far at least, the breed is not one that appears all that frequently in veterinarians’ consulting rooms and is often recommended to pet buyers by veterinarians – and you find that the breed seems inexorably to increase in popularity.

PURE SPIN? In the show ring, celebrity fashion is probably less important but show popularity in the end of the day is, at least to some extent, derived from the external popularity of the breed with the public. One thing is certain and that is that terriers have had a difficult few years of late but we FASHION AND CELEBRITY should I suppose, if we are convinced it’s not just pure Trying to find a clear spin, be encouraged by what explanation for these varithe AKC says on its website ous relative popularities with somewhat dubious acof breeds is, as I have said, almost impossible to achieve. curacy - namely “Terriers are Popularity can be measured making a comeback!

ing / drinking pleasure. I unscrew the cap from the bottle and begin to sip the thick green mixture. Mr. Olive Oil, Lovely MB, and MBO arrive, taking seats at the round table where I sit. “Good morning to all,” I say. “Well, how are you after your big soirée last night?” Mr. Olive Oil asks. Totally mesmerized by Mr. Olive Oil’s chosen-garment for the occasion, my response is delayed for several seconds, while I take in the visual pleasure. “I am great, thanks, but not as great as your outfit---WOW! I love it,” I share as Mr. Olive Oil turns his lapel collar up, revealing the most decorative accent fabric---in hot competition with the equally strident colorful lining. MR. EB arrives shortly afterward wearing another complete metrosexual ensemble, adding even more excitement to the morning fashion parade. Morning chitchat prevails among all. Five minutes after MR.EB’s arrival, MR. DM moves towards the round table, pulls out one of the white folding chairs and plops himself down. In direct contrast with the muted greens and aubergine tones reflected in the garments of Mr. Olive Oil and Mr. EB, MR.DM sports a rainbow of pastel colors in every pattern imaginable.

“My, DM, you look like a giant Easter basket this morning,” Chirps Lovely MB. The conversation moves from fashion, to judging schedules, to ring assignments.

With only ten minutes until the start of judging, I collect my man-bag and proceed to my assigned ring to judge a large entry of Pugs.

I enter the ring carefully---trying not to interrupt the ring steward, who is busy passing out armband numbers. Man-bag, containing my trusted AKC Book of Breed Standards, is carefully placed on a chair, next to the judge’s table. I check the judge’s book, glance at my watch, pop a mint in my mouth, and wait. The ring steward takes a break, hands me my official Santa Barbara judging badge, and welcomes me to the show. He returns to the table to assist exhibitors, and I struggle to attach my official pin onto the lapel of my jacket. For some unknown reason, I cannot seem to get the damn metal clasp to wrap around the shaft of the sharp pin, locking it into place.

After the fifth attempt, I ask a friend outside the ring for assistance. The two of us struggle for what seems like hours with no luck. One of the Pug exhibitors, standing at ringside, offers to help, and amongst three 86 Dog News

willing bodies and six hands, we manage to get the pin fastened to my lapel without any gaping holes. I take a deep breath and settle in for the start of the show.

A beautiful female voice in the distance, begins singing the national anthem. I spin around looking for the American Flag, locating one on the second turn. I stand upright, gut sucked in and shoulders back with pride.

I lapse into a momentary OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE (OBE) with Michael and Ryan by my side, as we accept the Olympic Gold Medal for our synchronized plunge the night before. Tears roll down my cheek, as I glance to Michael on my right and Ryan on my left…. I take no notice of the man desperately seeking my attention. I try everything I can do, to avoid direct eye contact. “Mr. Faulkner….Mr. Faulkner…Would you like them in catalog order?” Snapping to, I mentally say goodbye to Michael and Ryan and begin adjudicating the various Pug classes. When everything is said and done, I feel pleased with the eventual winners and more pleased to find out my Winners Bitch and BOW was a daughter of a lovely Pug bitch I awarded a big win to many years back. After photographs are taken, I walk back to the table to collect my things. “Mr. Faulkner, you don’t remember me, but many years ago you awarded a Pug bitch of mine, a Best in Show in Northern California….” Before she could finish, I interrupt---“Oh, yes, I do remember you and your beautiful Pug---mid nineties, Sir Frances Drake Kennel Club,” I clearly state, while giving her a hug. The reconnect and the wonderful memories make my morning, and I proceed to an outdoor ring for the continuation of my judging.

M

y day is filled with an eclectic bunch of breeds from various groups---Toys, Sporting, Hounds and Herding. I approach my new ring and am thrilled to see the ring steward is none other than Charming CR. Charming CR and I exchange pleasantries, and I locate my judge’s book, place it on the table along with my Montblanc pen--carefully placed on the top of my book... with the clip judiciously attached to the cover. “Charming CR I am going to run to the restroom, while the judge finishes his photographs. I will return in short order.” Charming CR nods and off I go. Upon my return, I

notice the prior judge has left the ring. With Charming CR’s assistance, we canvas the interior of the ring for a close inspection of the various gopher holes. We return to our workstation. Charming CR tends to exhibitors, and I pick up my judge’s book and cannot find my Montblanc. “Where in the hell did my pen go?” I ask loud enough for the judge in the ring next to mine and Charming CR to hear. They pay no mind, as I scour the area in search of Montblanc. I look everywhere--- under the table---in bags---my pockets---no luck. “Damn it! I know better than to bring expensive pens to dog shows.

I should have left it home, or at the very least, left it in my man-bag for safe keeping,” I quietly say to myself. Charming CR begins to call the first class into the ring and I stop.

“Listen---hang on, I will be right back,” I say, inspired by an instant epiphany. I quickstep back to the Superintendent’s table, grab a schedule and locate the whereabouts of the judge who worked in my ring prior to me.

With luck, he is now judging in the same ring in which I judged Pugs. I proceed to the ring and watch patiently with my heart racing. I watch as he evaluates his ring, has small talk with his steward, and reviews his book. “OK, now reach for your pen--- that’s it---slide your hand inside your suit jacket pocket,” I silently instruct. He reaches in with his right hand and---presto...right before my eyes--pulls my Montblanc from within. Wasting no time...I approach the table. “Sir...Excuse me...I think you collected my pen from the last ring by mistake,” I state, while holding my hand out for the save. Not giving him much time to respond, I gingerly snap Montblanc from his fingers, thank him, and sprint back for the start of judging, round two.

Quick witted, adorable, sensible CHARMING CR patiently awaits my return. In true teamfashion, we finish ahead of schedule and depart for lunch twenty-five minutes early.

I command DROID to call ML and she joins me as my guest for lunch. Once again, the club masterfully orchestrates a delicious meal and we linger much longer than needed for judges to finish judging their remaining breeds, and in anticipation of judging the Sporting Group later in the day.

Saturday’s Group competition is held on high ground and not in the center arena in support of setting the stage for the Purina Pro Plan Breeder’s Showcase Competition and dinner after the Best in Show Judging.

THE LIGHTER SIDE...

Continued FROM page 86

Having judged at the Showcase several years back, I wait eagerly to enter the large arena. As an observer, I notice the attention to detail and witness and the honoring of all of the dedicated breeders, who, like my Olympian counterparts Michael and Ryan, choose to showcase and compete in a spectacular public venue in hopes of surpassing all others in scope and effect.

Group judging begins with Sporting being fifth in line. ML and I walk to the far side of the ring and join the MR. CHUCK, MR. ANUT and my plunge-partner MS. MG. Through story telling and laughter, we watch groups of splendid canines go up, back and around the beautiful ring. The Working Group judge places her four winners, signaling it is time for me to get collected, climb over the ring fencing, and get to work. I am particularly excited about this Sporting group, as I have never judged the majority of these breed winners. My ring steward calls the group into the ring. I waste no time in moving to the front of the line and quickly take a first look at each one.

I turn and ask the first dog in line to move out and stand for examination. “Please take your dog straight down and straight back,” I instruct. Followed by...“right on around the ring to the end of the line and thank you.” I work through the Setters, the Retrievers, the Pointers, and through most of the Spaniels, leaving the Clumber Spaniel standing before me. I move in for the examination---only to be slightly knocked off balance by the size of the stuffed animal propelled in front of the Clumber’s face. The giant fuzzy creature squeaks and shakes, bringing the ears of the flushing spaniel upward and forward for full effect. Amazed at the production of it all, I say nothing and ask the dog to be taken down and back at a very slow speed.

I over-emphasize SLOW. The handler does a great job on the move and I am pleased.

He returns from the down-and-back and I say to myself, “Oh no!!! He is truly NOT going to use that large, stuffed THING as bait on the return,” I silently pray. To no avail, he stops and whirls the large, hairy toy through the air...behind my head...to the far side of the ring. The dog, looking slightly amused lifts his ears half-way, giving the handler the satisfaction he was seeking. I, on the other hand, want to confiscate the damn stuffed creature and gut it with my pocketknife. I say nothing. Make my cut. Take them all around the ring one-at-a-time and even90 Dog News

tually award the lovely Clumber Spaniel...

Group One...despite the comical presentation. After official photographs, I return to ringside for the last two groups and Best in Show judging. s the last group is being judged, I hear a voice from behind. “Excuse me, Mr. Faulkner, could I have a moment of your time?” MS. BRITTANY asks. “Sure---Not a problem,” I reply and excuse myself from the group. We move to the side, near one of the many buildings for our conversation. “Thank you!”

MS. BRITTANY says, while also introducing a very handsome young, four month-old puppy dog. “I wanted to take the time and share this puppy with you and see what you think,” she genuinely brims with pride in her breeding program. We converse for twenty minutes or so. I leave the conversation feeling the profound love she has for Brittanys and the profound pride she takes in her breeding program, and thankful she took the time to seek me out, share her young stock, and stimulate a meaningful, engaging breed-specific conversation.

When I take my seat next to ML at ringside, Best in Show is called into the ring. We watch in anticipation and all remark on the quality represented. In the end, Lovely MB chooses the stunning Standard Schnauzer for Best in Show and everyone moves to the arena for the “Purina Pro Plan Breeder’s Showcase.”

ML and I briefly retreat to the restrooms. Upon entering the arena, one cannot help be moved by the level of detail spent on creating such an event. The rings, the tenting, the flowers, the tables, the food, the drinks, the lighting, the trophies---all combine leaving me speechless. (Difficult to achieve, I know...) We hand over our entrance tickets and locate a free table, near the bar, and close to the rings for optimal viewing. Seated at our selected table, are none other than MRS. IRISH WOLFHOUND (MRS.IW), MS. MARJETTA, DR. CHICAGO, his partner and others. I relish in the moment--totally captivated by MRS. IW, her no nonsense approach to life, her knowledge, and her willingness to be a fully-engaged dinner partner. With keen interest, I listen to her side-conversation with DR. CHICAGO--their love of sight hounds, judging, and past / current trends in their respective

A

breeds. Yes, because of the opportunity to experience the Santa Barbara Kennel Club and the “Purina Pro Plan Breeder’s Showcase”, I am afforded the luxury of spending time with an array of amazing individuals.

Individuals, who, if you take the time, will share details about their respective breeds, providing insight into the essence of a breed that can never be achieved through reading a breed standard.

I sit here at the Santa Barbara Kennel Club / Purina Pro Plan Breeder’s Showcase, with friends and mentors as a life-long student of the sport, reminding myself of the significance of the evening---It is about THE BREEDER. I silently acknowledge the late Irene Bivin, first-and-foremost a noted breeder of Dobermans and for the special recognition the top winner will receive when presented the IRENE BIVIN CHALLENGE TROPHY, offered by her husband, Mr. Edd Bivin.

I am truly thankful for the strong conversations, the passion, and the insight afforded through these golden opportunities---these OLYMPIC moments. I am thankful for the members of the Santa Barbara Kennel Club for continuing a tradition and surpassing all my expectations of what a dog show should be. The evening ends on a high note, while watching Mr. JASON from ENGLAND / USA judge the Breeder’s Showcase Sporting Group.

ML and I return to the Pepper Tree Inn. The parking spot directly outside of our room door remains vacant. ML enters the room first, takes off her shoes, pours herself a glass of wine, crawls on top of her bed and phones her husband. Stepping into the bathroom, I take off my shoes, my socks, my belt, my slacks, my suit coat, my tie, my shirt, my t-shirt, my underwear and stand totally naked in front of the full length mirror on the back of the door. I watch myself slowly lower one leg at a time into the holes of my bright orange bathing trunks. Pulling them up around my buttocks, I tie the internal string into a neat bow, grab a towel, and proceed out the sliding glass doors towards the pool.

No one is visible. I am alone. I walk the pool’s edge to the deep end. Laying down the towel, I stretch...bending over and touching my fingers to the ground. Rolling my body back to a vertical position, I raise both arms over my head, point my fingers to the stars, lower my knees, lift and spring into the air, diving head first into the cool refreshing water--with Michael and Ryan by my side.

influence is a fact. Take a look at all these Russian and Eastern European handlers that now have become part of the Western dog show scene: Most of them look as if they have spent some time in the US….(Maybe they have???)

Not at all the image we had of people from behind The Iron Curtain in days gone by!

I have heard quite a few comments about the AKC’s dress code for judges, but I do approve of such guidelines.

For some reason stricter for men than for women !

If a dog show shall be a “festive occasion” (which I think every show should be) and the exhibitors make the effort, I find it rather amazing and nearly offensive to see a judge at a major show turning up in jeans and a t-shirt.

I love the fact that both Westminster and the AKC shows, being televised to the entire world, have high standards when it comes to dress code.

I don’t think Tom Bradley III would let anybody into the ring at Westminster dressed in anything but proper attire- and same applies to the AKC show.

The projection and presentation of the dog world at its best !

Women will of course say that it’s so easy for men. They just wear a suit- or black tie for special occasions.

Probably correct, but I have seen so many female judges dressed as anything from Night Club Strippers to Cleaning La-

dies in the ring. The question I always ask: Will any person who cannot judge their own appearance have the gift of appreciating beauty and class in animals??

I am not so sure!

“The question I always ask: Will any person who cannot judge their own appearance have the gift of appreciating beauty and class in animals??”

As per tradition, at this year’s Westminster, all judges for the finals had made the effort to look the picture, which they did!

But Best in Show amongst the judges (in my humble opinion) was a lady I personally don’t know, by the name of Ms. Betty Regina Leininger, who judged the Working Group.

Herself perfectly and stylishly dressed for the job in hand. Her performance was simply perfection: The respect and politeness she showed the handlers, the kind and efficient way she approached and went over the dogs, totally focused on each dog as they had their turn! Seemingly all the time completely at ease with herself and the environment.

To me exactly the way I want this sport to be projected to the outside world and personally I enjoyed watching every minute of it.

To top it all she ended up with a beautiful line-up and an impressive winner!

This performance should be shown as education to new judges (and some old ones as well): As an example of perfection: How to dress and perform when judging a Group .

Hopefully male judges will understand they have to dress slightly differently!

SCOTTISH TERRIER PROPOSAL

Continued FROM page 30

The English Springer Spaniel standard now calls for the dog to be slightly longer from the point of the shoulder to point of buttocks than the height at the withers. Previously the description read: “Length of topline (the distance from top of the shoulders to root of the tail) should be approximately equal to the dog’s shoulder height.”

The English Cocker Spaniel was changed from its previous wording: “length of back from withers to tail set should approximate height from ground to withers” to the following: “…with height at withers slightly greater than the distance from withers to set-on of tail.” Clearly both of these clubs exercised their right and responsibility to change their standards when change contributes to a better understanding of the breed.

Controversy concerning the language and intent of breed standards will always be on-going due to human nature and differences of opinion. A major stumbling block for many parent clubs is the

98 Dog News

lack of knowledge of some who govern these organizations.

Parent club voters with good intentions recently voted to disqualify a Pomeranian with a blue eye or any eye with blue flecks but did not disqualify the merles that bring these traits to the forefronts. On the other hand, after years of discouraging the rewarding of harlequin Great Danes with “gray patches” (merle), the Great Dane Club of America changed the breed standard last year stating “Merle patches are normal” in coming to terms with color reality. In this case reality was acknowledging that eye colors and other facets of the harlequin were proof that merle was in the DNA of the breed.

Many breed standards today are in review by parent clubs with good intentions.

Leaders and members of these clubs are sometimes reluctant to attempt to make change for the better for fear of opening up “a can of worms.” It’s a case of be careful what you wish for as many memberships, though large in numbers, lack experience and wisdom to provide what is in the best interest of the breed. Club leaders are often those who took on the job because nobody else would. Such volunteers seldom dedicate their entire life to one breed the way master breeders once did. They live modern fast forward lives that allow them little time to devote to becoming real dog

people. They may house only a dog or two of the breed whose future they are directing.

In the past the movers and shakers of most parent clubs had worthwhile breeding programs and kennels that produced sires and dams for the good of the breed. Their influence in the breed lasted for decades or a lifetime and beyond.

Such a mentor for me personally was the late great Heywood Hartley; all breed judge and breeder of outstanding Woodhart Scottish Terriers in Virginia in the mid-twentieth century.

Heywood was not only a terrier expert and gentleman; he was a gifted teacher and mentor.

Because in those days breeders brought most of their stock to the few available shows, he always needed help holding them at ringside and getting them all in the ring-not an easy task with a bunch of “diehards” on the muscle.

One of my youthful experiences with the Hartleys included meeting Phil Prentice and the 1950 Westminster BIS Scottish Terrier-Ch. Walsing Winning Trick of Edgerstoune.

Heywood much admired this dog and pointed out his virtues following the dog’s win over all of his own! Since Heywood always selected chunky cobby Scotties to use in his own breeding program, I think if he were here today, he would encourage the STCA’s current pursuit to clarify the standard to better protect the purity of the breed. It takes a meeting of the minds of AKC, parent clubs and dedicated breeders to continue the pursuit of excellence.

Simi Valley – Santa Barbara – Conejo Continued FROM page 50

and food is very good. For anyone ever visiting Santa Barbara, the Cold Spring Tavern should be on the list of things to do.

Thursday evening a very casual Open House is offered at the host hotel, The Pepper Tree Inn. This has become an annual kick-off to the long weekend. It is just great Chinese food, drinks and lots of fun. The pool and gardens make for a lovely setting to the relaxing evening. What makes the evening so successful is the opportunity for people from so many different countries to have a chance to visit and exchange ideas about canines in general. The Pepper Tree Inn has to be thanked for going to great lengths in decorating the pool area for the canine crowd.

Friday Simi Valley Kennel Club starts the competition. Carol Parker heads a wonderful committee. Bobbie Davis is Assistant Show Chair. Bobbi and Don Davis also are responsible for so many of the details of the long weekend. On Tuesday after the shows were over Bobbi, Don, Jeanie Austin and Ryan Koob of Empire Events Staffing were canvassing the showgrounds looking for ways to improve the weekend for next year. Simi Valley is able to keep their own identity and not just fade into the long weekend. Even SBKC makes an effort to try and make the Saturday and Sunday shows slightly different.

Conejo on Monday is able to also keep its own identity.

It might be the only four-day weekend where one has the feeling of being at four different shows. The day ended with the popular Schultz team capturing BIS in a terrific line-up.

Abbe Shaw, President of SBKC, is remarkable in being able to host a super party Friday evening at her lovely home in Montecito. Bobby Unger and Bruce Clark arrive in advance to take charge of the catering duties. John Reeve-Newson, Frank DeAmaral and Matthew Chacon get much exercise overseeing a very popular bar. This year they looked like the “Ever Ready Bunnies” pouring drinks at record speed. It is always a treat to be surrounded by the great art work of Terry Chacon and the priceless collection of great Challenge Trophies on display. Many beautiful sculptures by Susan Bahany can be admired also. Great works of art, magnificent cuisine, and fine wine combined with wonderful guests makes for a memorable evening.

S

aturday morning Jeanie Austin, Rita Mather, Frank DeAmaral and Mike Costa are on the showgrounds well before 6 AM setting up breakfast for all the members and judges. David Powers was in charge of arranging the large trophy tent for the Saturday Challenge Trophies. David has this down to a science for this ever expanding display. No other Sporting event in the world has a collection of such trophies.

This process is then repeated on Sunday when David arranges all of the Sunday trophies.

This was the initial “Bullyganza” competition, consisting of nine different Bully breeds from three different groups. Since it was scheduled an hour before the start of groups all of these breeds had to be completed by 1 PM. Like some other California shows, SBKC does its own scheduling. It is not the responsibility of the Superintendent. All of the breed judging has to be completed in the big arena by 1:30 PM in order to set up for the Saturday evening festivities.

The “Bullyganza” was a much larger success than I had even hoped for. The increased entry this year was largely due to this competition. Several handlers came from great distances with a Bully breed, but also had a truck full of non-Bully breeds.

A great deal of gratitude has to be given to David Merriam for the success of “Bullyganza”. David donated his time and expertise which made the event extra special. David made the opening remarks, explaining about the legendary Raymond H. Oppenheimer and William Kendirck. David pointed out that the 20 Basic Breeding Principles written by Raymond were printed in the Breeder’s Showcase section of the catalog. These two gentlemen did so much for Bull Terriers on each side of the pond. David also made himself available for mentoring during breed judging of Mini Bulls and their larger cousins. Many interested dog fanciers learned a great deal about Bull terriers in detail. Jerry Klein did his first assignment in both breeds. It was a wonderful experience since Jerry had top quality examples to compare. Jerry has to be congratulated on realizing if you are going to be a good Bull Terrier judge, that you have to be forgiving at times when a mouth is a bit off.

Claudia Sharp, President of BTCA, flew in from St. Louis to offer support. Weeks before the show she sent me copies of the visualization of the standard so I could get lots of people to do their homework on learning the breed. Franne Berey brought out of retirement a “Silverwood” winner to let everyone see a classic example of the breed. Duff Harris and Jan Dykema, leading breeders, exhibited top breeding stock. Two top winning Mini Bulls were in the ring together, which led to a real learning discussion.

Dick Meen judged the “Bullyganza”. Dick is licensed for all of the breeds, but had not judged any of them at the breed level. So the BOB, BOW and BOS winner in the different breeds were all competing on a level playing field. First place went to the big winning Wornall handled Frenchie. Second went to the top winning all time Mini Bull. Third was a very lovely young cream Frenchie bitch who had been BOS earlier in a field of 53 Frenchies.

Fourth went to another bitch that was also BOS earlier in the day. This was a young Mini Bull bitch proudly owned and bred by Robin Kennedy and Giselle Simonds. Fairly new to the winners circle, she is getting more and more people to discuss the breed. The record making Am Staff, “Jelly”, captured an SOM along with a lovely Boston bitch. All nine breeds had several wonderful examples Continued on page 110

in the line-up. I did not envy Dick having to narrow it down to just six awards. I am hoping next year we will allow four AOM’s not just two.

Dan Nechemias and Lois Claus, so well known for the famous Dawa Tibetan Mastiffs, are also the co-breeders of the famous Am Staff brothers, “Jelly” and “Phoenix”.

Dan and Lois supplied some wonderful sparkling wine to toast the winners and all participants after the competition. Later in the evening Dan & Lois were celebrating over the Am Staffs placing second in the Breeder’s Showcase.

There were large prize monies offered in the “Bullyganza”. This was an effort to get peoples’ attention to the event. The competition brought dogs from the Northwest, Texas and even from Venezuela. The best thing was that it promoted a learning experience, especially of Bull Terriers, since most of the top ones do not go to many all-breed shows.

Michele Billings presided over Best on Saturday. It was 20 years ago that Mike awarded the great Shepherd bitch, “Mystique” BIS at SBKC. This year she was faced with a stellar line-up again. A relative newcomer to the big leagues became the top winner. This was the Standard Schnauzer, handled by Jody Paquette, who had traveled out from Kentucky. This was the dog’s first huge win and the following weekend captured another BIS at the Lexington shows. I am sure Jody, his owners and breeders took special pride in that Michele Billings put this dog on the road to great winning.

T

he Breeder’s Showcase is held each year in memory of Mrs. Irene Nail Bivin. This year it was so wonderful that Edd Bivin was able to judge Best in the Breeder’s Showcase along with Michael Gadsby. Dick Meen was the tie-breaker judge if needed. The tie-breaker judges have never been called upon, but this year with Edd and Michael both having such strong opinions, there was a chance that maybe Dick would be called on. With just a short discussion Edd and Michael decided Best and Reserve.

From the initial Breeder’s Showcase in 2009, Reserve Best has always been offered. Shortly after 9 PM it was announced that the Pembrokes were Reserve. In 2011 these two wonderful “Coventry” Pembrokes had won the Herding group. The previous year they had won the entire Breeder’s Showcase. This is a win for the history books, with the same two bitches having won the Breeder’s group three years in a row. In 2009, they were not entered because Bill Shelton judged the finals.

The Coventry kennels of Steve Leyerly, Bill Shelton and Beckie Williams have to be congratulated on setting a record that chances are will never be broken.

After Reserve was announced there was dead silence to hear who the total victor would be. It was a very popular choice when it was announced that it was the Border Terriers. The “Meadowlake Kennels” of Karen Fitzpatrick have done so much bringing Border Terriers

to the limelight. The team consisted of “Simply Sinful” that Karen co-owns with Kiki Courtelis and Joyce Wilkinson.

This bitch is close to becoming the top-winning Border Terrier in history. Karen had “Maya” paired with “Pants On Fire,” who had only been shown once before where she won the Sweeps at the National. Thomas H. Bradley, III co-owns this youngster with Karen. Tom co-owned a big winning bitch with Karen just a couple of years ago. Everyone was so pleased that he continues his interest with the “Little brown dogs”.

Jason Lynn is part of the famous “Afterglow” kennels of England, but still holds American citizenship and presided over the Sporting group. The Janice Friis & Jan Sutherland bred Clumbers captured the Sporting group.

Both were sired by two different Clussex sires. It was nice that Doug Johnson was there to see his breeding representing the breed in a good light. The following day one of the pair captured the regular Sporting group. Another “Clussex” bred dog shown by Jorge Olivera won two Sporting groups over the weekend.

Karen Mays presided over the Hound group. For some reason the Hounds are always the largest entry in the Showcase and the depth of quality is always extremely tough. Last year the father and son team of Harriers, which are the two top winning Harriers of all time, captured the entire Breeder’s Showcase. This year the two young littermates from the Malabo APD Ridgeback kennels of Ana Paula Diniz captured the Hound group. These two young beauties were well named, Raquel Welch and Robert Redford. Just coming into their own Raquel Welch captured a BIS the following weekend. The Malabo APD kennel hailing from Brazil has certainly made its presence known here in the States also. Ana Paula inherited her love of Ridgebacks from her late father and has such a great passion for the breed. Each generation continues to surpass the previous generation. This is the goal of all breeders.

Mari-Beth O’Neill, who was born into Dobermans, presided over the Working group. Earlier in the evening Rhonda and Paula Davis enjoyed the thrill of a lifetime when Mike Billings awarded their Ch. Blackhawk Finnegan’s Wake BIS. Just a few hours later this dog was paired up with his half brother to win the Working group in the BS. I am sure this will be an evening the Davis’s will never forget. Special mention has to be that the “Aviator” Portuguese Water Dogs of Cathy and Mike Dugan were runner up in the group. This kennel won the whole BS at the initial 2009 event. They came back with another pair in 2010 to win the group and Reserve Best. In 2011 they also received AOM. It is amazing that a kennel could make such a good showing four years in a row.

Carlos Fernandez-Renau presided over the Toy group and Felicia Cashin and Carol Ross’ Brussels Griffons won.

What was interesting was that Ch. Hilltops The Great Houdini, now ten years old, came out of retirement for the event. It has always been said “Houdini” would come back.

Janet Allen had a wonderful group of Non-sporting dogs. Here again another top Brazilian Kennel became the winner. This was the Standard Poodle, “Da Maya” kenContinued on page 108

nels of Zuleika Borges Torrealba. Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, this kennel has made its presence known in so many parts of the world. Chris Manelopoulos and Rachael have made the long trip across the country each year except last year due to moving. It is no easy feat bringing several Standard Poodles and pairing up which ones for the BS. Sometimes it means not showing their current Special in the regular show. It is great to see some handlers are more concerned about showcasing breeding stock over all breed wins.

Late Saturday evening it was interesting to hear all the Showcase judges discuss all the great breeding stock they evaluated. I am sure Irene Bivin approved of Edd and Michael’s choices, but will have lots of questions when they are all together at a much later date.

S

unday after group judging MariBeth O’Neill and Jason Lynn shared the honor of judging the Foreign Bred Competition. This was the second year Bruce Schwartz chaired the event and he has it down to a science. Since it does not require pre entry the judge’s book has to be done at the last minute. Mari-Beth judged the large dogs and Jason the small breeds. Of the 44 dogs present half were large and half small. After they made their cuts Jason judged Mari-Beth’s selection and vice versa. They quickly placed them one thru four and four AOM. This year due to the graciousness of Andrey Klishas of the “Gran Vencedor Kennel” of Moscow, Russia, cash prizes were offered. This was an incentive for the handlers to prepare their dogs, since they do not charge clients a handling fee.

Ernesto Lara had to be in England for a major Fox Terrier show to show a Wire bitch for Victor Malzoni.

Carlos, who is Ernesto’s right hand man, brought out the big winning Scottie “Phoebe”. Mari-Beth and Jason both easily agreed she was the best. This bitch was bred in Scotland by Carol Annan. Being born in Scotland myself, I have known Carol since I was a young child. Her father had the famous “Viewpark” Scotties.

Here again, “Raquel Welch”, the Ridgeback, was the runner-up while her brother got an AOM. If this was not enough excitement for Ana Paula Diniz, her homebred Long Coat Chihuahua “Matriant L.G. Muffin” was also an AOM. I am sure Ana Paula will make her breeding presence known and felt in Chihuahuas like it has been in Ridgebacks.

Just before Best individuals representing the seven groups were honored for their outstanding contributions to the Sport as breeders and/or various aspects of the Sport. The Sporting Honoree was Marjorie Martorella, who 26 years ago bred the Westminster BIS winner. Since “Deputy”, Marjorie has continued to breed top Pointers and English Cockers. Karen Mays and her late husband, Asa, were honored from

108 Dog News

the Hound Group. Besides breeding, Asa and Karen have been involved in so many facets of the sport.

The Working honorees were Cathy and Mike Dugan.

Cathy was a longtime Dalmatian breeder long before Portuguese Water Dogs were recognized. Their homebred “Lady Bug” won the Working group at both AKC/ Eukanuba and Westminster. Their Aviator homebreds have dominated our Breeders Showcase since its inception.

Water F. Goodman continued his 90th birthday celebration by being honored from the Terrier group.

It was 43 years ago we saw Walter winning BIS at Westminster with his homebred Skye Terrier. Walter also was President of Montgomery County for 25 years.

During this same period he served on the Board of Directors at the AKC for many years. This year a bronze state of a Skye Terrier, by the late Richard Chashoudian, became a Challenge Trophy in the Terrier group to honor the “Glamoor” Skye Terriers of Walter and his late Mother, Adele Goodman. It was wonderful that his partner for so many years, Bob Flanders, and Walter’s niece, Cynthia Stebbins, were present. Walter certainly has been a living legend in the sport. He is one of the few people to have won Westminster and also judged BIS there.

Mary Day and Barbara Brown of Maltese fame have been a fixture at California shows for so long. So many old time admirers were touched to see Mary and Barbara receiving the award for the Toy Group. Just myself I have never run across Mary or Barbara at a show where they did not put a smile on my face. They have made dog shows a happier place for newcomers and old-timers alike. Their devotion to the sport and Maltese is legendary.

Michael Gadsby and Jason Lynn were honored from the Non Sporting group. Their world famous “Afterglow” kennels expands over so many groups, not only breeding the Standard Poodle “Donny” who was the first Poodle to go BOB from the classes and Reserve Best at Crufts. So many breeds have set records on each side of the pond. Recently while in Japan I also witnessed the presence of this kennel. I have never known anyone that has a larger passion for the sport than these two gentleman. I am sure in years to come they will be two of the most famous all rounder judges in the world.

Frank Bayliss of “Bayshore” fame was honored from the Herding group, but his fame covers many groups.

He has bred the all time top winning dog in Australian Shepherds, Border Collies, Chinese Cresteds and Xoloilzcuintli. He has bred dogs that have won 20 nationals.

It is wonderful that AKC will also be honoring him this year as the Herding honoree.

This was the fourth year that SBKC and the Breeder’s Showcase have honored individuals. With so many great breeders being deserving to be honored we have made it a practice not to honor people that AKC has alContinued on page 110

Dog News 109

ready honored. AKC has seen fit to honor some great breeders that we have already honored, however.

Immediately after the Honoree ceremony, Carlos Francesco-Renau stepped in to do Best. In a fabulous suit and matching hat, Carlos looked so dapper. The Wire Fox Terrier, “Sky”, became the winner. She became the first Wire Fox to go Best, since Ch. Registry’s Lonesome Dove, known as “Lacey” in 1991. And “Lacey” was the first Wire to go Best since “Miss Skylight” in 1961. A lot of dogs that went Best at SBKC in the glory days eventually went on to win Westminster. Due to commitments outside of the country her owners, Torie Steele and Victor Malzoni, could not be present. Mary Olund, another owner, had to be at home overseeing two litters of Standard Poodle puppies. Mary and Scott have been top breeders for so long I am sure some of these puppies will make their presence felt in the Breeder’s Showcase next year. Diane Ryan, one of “Sky’s “other owners, was present and was beaming over the great victory.

A

fter years of trying to persuade Janet Lange Moses to come to SBKC she finally attended. I am sure this came about because Ray & Sharon Stevens, who bred Janet’s “Silly”, insisted she come for the Breeder’s Showcase. The “Sharbelle” Toy Poodles of Ray & Sharon made them the honoree at AKC in 2011. “Silly” and another “Sharbelle” Toy Poodle were runner-up in the Breeder’s Showcase Toy Group. When Carlos awarded “Silly” Reserve Best, Janet, Ray & Sharon were on Cloud 9. How wonderful it was to see Janet doing this all by herself. After all these years of paying Buddy, Joseph and Jimmy the “big bucks”, Janet must be saying “wow, I can do this myself”. This award had to be especially meaningful coming from such a famous Poodle breeder as Carlos has been and continues to be. The big winning Standard Jason & Michael campaigned in Britain last year was bred by Carlos.

Hats off to so many people that worked on lots of details. Everyone was encouraged to wear hats at SBKC this year. David Powers was first responsible for the practice, but Anita O’Berg really stepped up the practice when last year her hats were the talk of the show.

Carol and Tom Wathen hosted the most sensational dinner party Sunday evening. At her previous residence Carol had hosted many parties and it was a setting I did not think could be matched. Her new home with Tom is even more impressive. Tom & Carol made well over one hundred guests feel like they were special. The setting was truly memorable and being surrounded by some of the greats of the sport, what more could one ask for? Hopefully to be invited back next year.

On Monday Conejo Kennel Club is the end of the weekend. Ron and Linda Mattson head up a great committee. Ron also oversees all the RV parking and electricity for the entire weekend. Conejo has to congratulated on keeping its own identity. The feeling of the show is much different than the previous three days. Being smaller lends to a very relaxed atmosphere.

Bob Widden judged BIS and everyone was happy for the Basenji sisters Julie and Kathy Jones. They are a California institution and their breeding program earned them the AKC Breeder of the Year from the Hound group in 2008. The breathtaking Wire Fox “Sky” was Reserve.

Although she was only Best Sunday, she was never lower than Reserve all four days.

It is impossible to mention all the people that made this such a great weekend. The first thank you has to go to Purina Pro/Plan. Without their faith and resources the Breeder’s Showcase would never have come into play.

They have been a wonderful team to work with in all aspects. This year at the spur of the moment they came up with an idea that raised some funds that could be donated to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Department for vests for the K-9 dogs. Take The Lead will also benefit.

It is also with great thanks to Michael Faulkner and Connie Miller for donating their swimming ability – check out all the photos on the Santa Barbara Kennel Club page on Facebook – it was a fun, if spur of the moment money raising idea and someone will be glad to tell you the tale.

This weekend is just one example of how much Purina Pro/Plan gives back to the entire sport and dogs in general. Hopefully all dog fanciers will support Purina and their efforts.

Each year the BS commissions a bronze of the winning pair at the Breeder’s Showcase. These magnificent pieces are done by Fan Yu of Beijing, China. Fan spends quite a bit of time in the States with the McFaddens and is starting to do a lot of private commissions. At the Purina Event Center in St. Louis these Bronzes representing the past winners of Breeder’s Showcases will be on permanent display year around except for the one week a year they come to Santa Barbara.

So many great lovers of dogs and world renowned breeders sponsor the dinner for the exhibitors Saturday evening. Neither SBKC nor Purina could afford to sponsor a dinner for well over 1,100 fanciers. None of these donations go to the regular part of the show, but are used to provide a lovely evening for everyone on the grounds.

The Canine Chronicle stepped up this year to also help sponsor the Saturday dinner. It is nice that they are willing to give back some of their revenues to the sport.

Many fanciers travel great distances to support the event. Even quite a few from foreign countries. The biggest thank you has to go to the breeders worldwide that year after year supply great dogs for the viewing pleasure of all of us.

If one has never been to Santa Barbara in modern times, they should treat themselves to a mini vacation. It has become one of the most enjoyable weekends in the sport.

Under-Appreciated Stud Dogs and Their Owners Continued FROM page 54

ger than expected because the flight has been canceled; and last but not least remember: It’s Always The Stud Dogs Fault. LOL. We have been fortunate to have some pretty girls visit that have resulted in some pretty puppies. I am lucky to have a husband that doesn’t mind driving and a Repro Vet that will be there whenever I may need her.”

Although it is a joke that it’s always the stud dog’s fault, I think all of us who own bitches realize that there really is a tendency to blame the stud dog for anything we don’t like about our puppies. Perhaps that’s because we can’t see any faults in our bitches, so why would we see any of their faults in the puppies they produce?

When it comes to stud fees, different people have different ideas about how they should be set. Traditionally, most stud dog owners have set the stud fee as the price of a single puppy from the resulting litter. This works well for most stud dog owners, especially if they ask for a “stud fee puppy” instead of an actual dollar fee. This method also works well across various breeds since puppy prices and stud fees can vary from one breed to another. It does require bitch owners to sell their puppies nationally, however, in order to set their puppy prices at the same rate as other breeders. For example, if you live in a part of the country where puppy prices are generally lower and you breed to an expensive stud dog from another region, you must sell your puppies to buyers who are willing to pay more, which means they might not be sold locally. Breeders in some parts of the country may have access to buyers who will pay more for puppies than in other parts of the country, though the Internet helps to bring good buyers to all breeders if you are wellknown. (Unless, of course, the changes proposed

by APHIS are approved.)

However, some stud dog owners seem to think that they should set their dog’s fee according to how many titles the dog has earned. If the dog has a novice agility title or a CD in addition to his conformation championship, some stud dog owners seem to think that the dog’s stud dog fee should be higher. This seems questionable to me. If someone is choosing a dog for his conformation traits, the fee should be based on

112 Dog News

those traits and not on performance or companion titles, especially on beginner titles. If you are breeding for performance, then you should look for outstanding performance dogs, which is another discussion. But titles are only a small indication of a dog’s ability. Breeders should be considering the whole dog: his conformation, his health clearances, his pedigree, his temperament, his siblings and other family members, what kind of puppies he’s producing, and so on. Titles are not the way to set a stud fee. They look good on the pedigree but breeders should be able to see the dog with or without the titles. There are even some good dogs that don’t have titles at all. A dog might not be shown for a variety of good reasons. Breeders should know and understand their breed’s standard and be able to select a good dog even if he doesn’t have a slew of titles before or after his name.

There are other considerations that the stud dog owner and bitch owner need to discuss prior to a breeding. For example, what constitutes a litter? This is one of those gray areas that needs to be settled before a breeding is done. For some stud dog owners, one puppy or two puppies makes a litter. And how long must those puppies survive? Again, this should be settled before the breeding is agreed to. Do the puppies need to survive until weaning?

Until they are eight weeks old? Six months old?

Settle it before you breed.

What happens if there is no pregnancy?

Will there be a return breeding? When do you pay the stud fee? How much do you pay at the time of breeding? How much is due when the puppies are born? If the stud dog owner wants a stud fee puppy instead of a fee, at what point does he or she get to choose? And, is it the first or second pick puppy? Be sure to discuss and settle all of these things – and put it in writing – before you do the breeding.

Owning a stud dog is more work than many bitch owners assume. But being a breeder at all is a lot of work. It’s not for the faint of heart whether you have a bitch or a stud dog or both. Blessed are the brood bitches, but God bless the stud dogs, too.

A Demonstration in Orange at the State CapitOl Continued FROM page 66

the weather forecast was for hot weather and the event was from 11AM-1PM, on the West steps of the capital which would be in full sun. At the last moment I left the dogs at home for temperature control and hurried to the capitol. I was afraid that it would be a small demonstration but when I rounded the capitol building I saw several hundred demonstrators in bright orange tee shirts, with three trail hounds which were being photographed by the news cameraman. At that point I regretted not having brought the Greyhounds. The newsman would have loved them. (If you plan to attend any demonstrations and hope for news coverage, bring photogenic dogs.)

Word had been that we were supposed to wear hunter orange. I still had an orange Tee shirt from the demonstrations in 2003, but two weeks before the event I ran across an orange pants suit at Thrift Town. They couldn’t imagine that anyone my size would wear orange so it was only $2. I couldn’t resist. It went home and to the demonstration with me. I felt a little like a pumpkin in it but we fit right into the demonstration. And friends requested pictures of me wearing it so a couple of willing demonstrators took pictures of it.

I had condensed a couple of my Dog News articles into handouts mainly for the newsmen but I had a few extra to hand out.

The first page explained why it is important to hunt large predators to keep them from hunting people. The back of the first page explained the HSUS finances, identifying them as a lobbying organization, not an animal welfare organization. The second sheet explained how we need to unite against

116 Dog News

the HSUS and their Animal Rights Agenda, with a copy of the complete AR agenda on the back of that sheet.

I noticed that some of the demonstrators had buttons that said wildlife bills should not be revenge. I asked what the revenge was about and was told that they thought that SB1221 was revenge for the director of the Department of Fish and Game having shot a Mountain Lion in Idaho where hunting them is legal. I remembered a fuss that occurred in the news when that happened but I hadn’t connected it with SB1221.

There were several excellent speakers including one teenaged girl and a state legislator. The organizer spoke and thanked all the people for attending. And apparently there were earlier demonstrations. He said that 700 hunters had attended one of the committee meetings. There were only a dozen who spoke in favor of SB1221, but the committee passed it anyway.

The hunters had gotten letters urging that SB1221 be killed from 30 California counties. That is more than half the counties in this state. All the rural counties opposed it. The HSUS and the urban counties supported it. Los Angeles is a hot bed of animal rights residents. So this is a case of the HSUS and urban folks imposing their ideas on rural residents.

The HSUS had done its job. Recently a list was sent out of their contributions to politicians. On it they contributed amounts from $1,000 to $3,000 to nearly 100 politicians. I wonder how many of them were California legislators.

In the face of overwhelming opposition by the hunters’ groups they passed it anyway.

After an hour of speeches at the rally we lined up to go through security to take our letters to the Governor’s office. After about two thirds of the folks had delivered their letters we were told that nobody else would be allowed to go into the Governor’s office. Instead all the letters were picked up by our organizers and delivered. It was a stack about ten inches high in addition to the ones that had been individually delivered. We did the security check and went to the Governor’s office anyway. There is a big bear statue in front of the office doors. We couldn’t resist the chance for pictures.

I was tempted to fall on the floor under the bear’s head and have them take a picture of me as a future bear victim. The rate of bear attacks on humans tripled in Washington and Oregon after similar laws were passed in those states. But the State guard inhibited me.

The Governor has until the end of the month to either sign or veto this bill. The hunters have hopes that he will veto it. But at this point I am really missing Arnold. He terminated a lot of bad AR legislation when he was Governor.

CUTE - BUT TOUGH HUNTERS Continued FROM page 69

be taught as a ‘game’ and I had to use tricks to keep their interest and alleviate stress in the ring. It turned out that my dogs were very receptive to games and problem solving. I also use high value rewards, both treats and toys, to go with the games to ‘pay’ for a job well done. It has to be fun for them though or they’ll quit doing what you want them to do.

Mic, for example, decided that after playing flyball for three years that it was boring. He liked going to the tournaments and racing for one or two races but then he would be ready to go into his crate.

We have never really ‘fixed’ that problem but have ‘come to an agreement’ with him by only letting him ‘play’ occasionally during a tournament. He’s happy with this arrangement. It really is important that you find some sort of job for a Westie to do. These guys are a lot more than just cute little white dogs. Left to their own devices, they will find a way to entertain themselves and their owners may find that a Westie’s idea of entertainment is difficult to live with.”

Pelter’s dog Ellee suddenly developed issues with the sport of rally, she said. “Shortly after she received the WHWTCA award as the highest scoring Westie in advanced rally, she started refusing to enter the rally ring. I never understood why she suddenly ‘soured’ on rally and I had to practice a great deal of patience taking her to a practice ring and working slowly through the exercises.

Initially, we’d just enter the ring and play.

Then, we’d do a couple of stations and play. Finally now, after several months, she’s finishing a course. I still have no idea what caused her to behave that way.”

Sanders noted that QT had been very successful in field tracking while going for his TD and TDX. But, when the time came to do the urban tracking necessary for his VST title, problems arose. “The urban tracking for QT’s VST title was very difficult for him even though he loved to do it. He had a lot of trouble following the correct track on blacktop and he was tempted by all the contamination crosstracks on the lawns, many of which were oh-so-much-more-fun to follow. Since he self-rewarded by following these tracks, letting him follow contamination tracks was not a viable option in training. I had to study the techniques of a lot of other trainers, try their methods and be willing to adapt them until I found ways to clarify the important issues for QT.” Gimbel said it is really important to find good trainers who use positive training techniques. “Terriers will NOT accept negative training methods. They will fight 118 Dog News

back or shut down. Praise and rewards will get them to do just about anything.

But, you have to pay attention to your dog’s personality, likes, dislikes and emotions. Stress caused one of my dogs to shut down at trials. She was fine at practice but wouldn’t work at trials. I finally realized that she felt my stress and when I got that under control, I noticed she also felt the stress of other competitors and the stress of the other dogs. I was able to earn her titles by realizing this was occurring. So I would keep her away from the building and the performance ring until it was time for her to go in to compete. That eliminated the build-up of stress. I also stopped doing the things that caused her the most stress. Why put her through that? I won’t make my dogs do something they don’t enjoy. The purpose of these activities is for both you and the dog to have fun. If either you or the dog are not having fun, don’t do it.

You’ll both be happier.”

As is the case with many breeds, health and behavior problems have become an issue with Westies. “Skin issues and behavior problems are what causes many Westies to wind up in rescue. It’s really important to research the breed and choose a puppy from a reputable breeder. The WHWTCA and the Westie Foundation have done a lot of work to help eradicate the health issues as well as educate the public and breed fanciers on treatment options and the importance of research but more needs to be done,” said Jennings.

Gimbel agreed. “Better health and structure have to be the most important considerations when deciding what dogs to breed. The conformation ring all too often rewards the ‘prettiest’ dog or ‘who knows who’ which then encourages breeding with the only consideration being how many wins a dog has had.”

Brinley said that in addition to health issues such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and atopic dermatitis to name just two where the foundation has supported research, she said she sometimes worries that some owners are pushing their dogs too hard, especially in agility.

“Some of the dogs are not in the best physical condition either from not enough training or they lack the proper conformation in agility. I’ve seen dogs, not just Westies, that are being pushed too hard by their owners or who simply do not have the right structure to be a top notch agility dog. You have to know your dog’s limitations. Sometimes the owners get so competitive personally that the best interests of the dog are not being considered. They lose sight of the fact that we’re supposed to be having fun with our dogs and that means the dogs should also be having a good time.”

Now in its thirteenth year, the recipients are: The Companion Dog is an Akita named JOY owned by PRISCILLA & TERRY SHARPE of Klamath Falls, Oregon. The Law Enforcement Dog is a German Shepherd Dog named KIRBY handled by DET. CHRISTINE KELLIHER of Bensalem Township Police Department in Pennsylvania.

The Search & Rescue Dog is a Belgian Tervuren named KEAHI owned and handled by KRISTI SMITH of Peoria, Arizona. The Service Dog is a Kuvasz named PILOT owned by ANN SCOTT ARNOLD of Frankfort, Michigan. The Therapy Dog is a Rottweiler named BENNY owned by KELLY SKIPTUNAS of Wrightsville, Pennsylvania. These five dogs and their owners and handlers will be honored at the AKC/EUKANUBA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP December dog show in Orlando, Florida. CANADIAN KENNEL CLUB executive director NANCY CAREY has left the organization.

The board of directors has asked LEILA BAHONE, the senior manager of membership services, to be the interim executive director. CHARLES BARIS and JOHN HART are off for a thirty-day river cruise through central Europe. ZANE SMITH had a quick trip to Ireland where he was judging. CHUCK WINSLOW and ELLIOT MORE are judging in China. CHUCK has become such a regular in China, he might want to think about getting a flat and taking Chinese les-

A WIN-WIN RULE CHANGE KC would like to increase entries at dog shows.

To this end we are seeing no end of special attractions and classes that are designed to get exhibitors out and about.

At the same time, I have a beautiful dog siting on my couch that I would love to take to dog shows if for no other reason than to show her off. But as things stand now, I cannot do this. Why? Because she is spayed.

Section 8 of the AKC Rules and Regulations states, “Neutered dogs and spayed bitches would be allowed to compete in Veterans classes only at independent specialties and/or those all-breed shows which do not offer any competitive classes beyond Best of Breed.”

If this rule could be modified to allow altered dogs or spayed bitches to enter the Veteran classes at any show, it would encourage many exhibitors to go to dog shows (with the resulting additional $$$$ for the Clubs). At the same time, by limiting the entry to the Veteran classes they would not be in competition for championship points and run afoul of the rules which require that only unaltered dogs are eligible for championship points.

If you support this idea, I urge you to contact your AKC Delegate and ask them to propose a rule change.

ONLINE FILMS LAUNCHED TO TACKLE PUPPY FARMING AND IMPULSE PUPPY BUYING he Kennel Club has produced three new YouTube films that will help people when they are buying a puppy and ensure that the puppy has the best chance of a home for life. Recent Kennel Club research showed that one in five may be buying from puppy farms and a further one in five choose their dog just because of the way that it looks.

The films are launched now as part of Puppy Awareness Week and are available on the Crufts YouTube channel. Each aims to help people think carefully before they buy a puppy so that puppies find a home for life and don’t end up in rescue.

New research, which was carried out for the Kennel Club this month, revealed that almost one in five people say that their prime motivator for buying a dog was the way that it looks. Only 35 percent said that they chose a dog because they thought it would be a good fit for their lifestyle. These ‘instant’ decisions increase the risk of dogs ending up in rescue.

Buyers are also risking long term future health problems with their pets by buying puppy-farmed dogs. One in five, that is a staggering 20% of people, are buying over the internet, in a pet shop or from a free newspaper ads. These are all outlets that can be used by puppy farmers, who then refuse to let people see their premises. One third of people surveyed, more than 33%, said that they did not see their puppy with its mum or in its breeding environment; this was substantially higher amongst those who bought from the internet and pet shops.

The first of the films aims to help people to discover whether they are ready for dog ownership and the second to ensure that they choose the right breed for their lifestyle. The third video in the series aims to help people find a breeder who will have given the dog the right start in life, to help it avoid health and behavioural issues further down the line.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: “It is incredibly sad but not surprising that we have such a huge rescue dog population, when so many people jump into dog ownership without giving it the thought it deserves.

“Many people who aren’t really cut out for dog ownership rush in and buy a puppy, whilst others pick completely the wrong breed for their lifestyle and then cannot cope with its needs. These films help to point people to Kennel Club Assured Breeders and to Kennel Club Breed Rescue homes, and show the kind of problems that a dog can get later in life if you go to the wrong breeder.”

Letters ToThe Editor

TO: ALL JUDGES, ESPECIALLY THOSE APPROVED FOR CAIRN TERRIERS FROM: THE CAIRN TERRIER CLUB OF AMERICA umors have been circulating for the past year that the Standard for Cairns has been, or soon will be, changed regarding the ideal height and weight for dogs and bitches. A proposed change, which would have raised the height and weight allowances, was recently put to the membership for a vote by the Board of Governors and the Standard Review Committee. The change FAILED to pass due to less than 2/3 of the members voting in favor of the proposal.

Therefore, we ask that you continue to judge size in Cairns according to the official A.K.C. Standard which states: Ideal Size--Involves the weight, the height at the withers and the length of body. Weight for bitches, 13 pounds; for dogs, 14 pounds. Height at the withers--bitches, 9-1/2 inches; dogs--10 inches.

Length of body from 14-1/2 to 15 inches from the front of the chest to back of hindquarters. The dog must be of balanced proportions and appear neither leggy nor too low to ground; and neither too short nor too long in body. Weight and measurements are for matured dogs at two years of age. Older dogs may weigh slightly in excess and growing dogs may be under these weights and measurements.

Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.

Jack Smith, C.T.C.A. President Lydia Coleman Hutchinson, Member of Board of Governors, Judges Education and Standard Clarification Committees

aphis and anti-hunting attitudes SAOVA message to sportsmen, pet owners and farmers concerned about protecting their traditions, avocations and livelihoods from anti-hunting, anti-breeding, animal guardianship advocates. Forwarding and cross posting, with attribution, encouraged.

Dear SAOVA friends, The past few weeks have been extremely busy. As promised, your message of Opposition to the APHIS proposed rule has been carried to Congressional staff. The SAOVA Opposition List is truly an attention-getter!

Many thanks to all our volunteers and readers for their efforts to build this impressive list and help make this project a success. Our widespread message of Opposition to the devastating, unnecessary, and overreaching APHIS rule has been heard! Do not stop writing those letters to your Congressmen – there is much more work to do. A one-page handout with talking points will be posted at the top of the suggested comments page for your use: http://saova.org/APHIS_comments.html SAOVA filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for copies of documents supporting the statements made by APHIS in the Regulatory Impact Analysis & Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis, Prepared April 2012. In the Analysis, APHIS stated,“In fact, in recent years, APHIS has noted

A

a number of reports and complaints concerning the welfare of such animals.” “In addition, APHIS has received complaints directly from members of the public concerning the welfare of dogs and other pet animals sold at retail.”

On August 29th the FOIA request was answered as follows: Dear Ms. Wolf: This is in response to your July 16, 2012, Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for copies of complaints concerning the welfare of dogs and other pets received by APHIS directly from members of the public as referenced in that statement.

Animal Care (AC) employees conducted a thorough search of their files and did not locate any information responsive to your request.

AC has informed this office that they have no records concerning the welfare of dogs and other pets received by APHIS directly from members of the public as referenced in the APHIS issued Regulatory Impact Analysis & Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis Proposed Rule, APHIS-2011-0003 RIN 0579-AD57 because they do not record complaints regarding retail sales as it is not an Animal Welfare Act (AWA) covered activity.

You may appeal our no record determination.

If you chose to appeal, your appeal must be in writing and must be received within 45 days of the date of this letter ..

SAOVA’s appeal has been filed and we will keep you posted on our progress.

Susan Wolf Sportsmen’s & Animal Owners’ Voting Alliance Working to Identify and Elect Supportive Legislators saova@earthlink.net http://saova.org AKC HONORS CANINE HEROES WITH NEW URBAN SEARCH AND RESCUE TITLES ew York, NY— Today, five-year-old English Springer Spaniel Pride ‘N Joy’s Juno-Lupa, better known as “Juno,” and her handler Beckie Stanevich, AKC Delegate for the Mountaineer Kennel Club, became the first dog and handler team to receive the new American Kennel Club Urban Search and Rescue (SAR) title. The pair, which serves on FEMA’s Ohio Task Force One and deploys to federal disaster locations, was honored at the September AKC Delegates meeting.

Search and Rescue dogs help find lost or trapped people, human remains, and are used to assist human efforts during major disasters, wartime and border protection. The importance, recognition and need for these canines in the United States has grown steadily over the last decade, and the AKC is proud to recognize the life-changing work that dogs like “Juno” perform.

“Search and Rescue is a modern day working function for our dogs. The attributes required have been maintained and enhanced in our traditional Performance and Companion events. High drive, sound temperament, scent discrimination, obedience and agility are some the characteristics of an outstanding SAR dog,” said Doug Ljungren, AKC Vice President of Companion/Performance Events. “The AKC is proud to recognize those that excel at this important function and to memorialize their skill and service on an AKC pedigree.”

The initial titles, recognizing FEMA and state deployable Urban SAR dogs, can be added to a dog’s name and pedigree to designate its SAR skills and accomplishments.

In addition to “Juno,” SAR dogs “Kaiser,” a German Shepherd Dog owned

by Tony Zintsmaster, “Bretagne,” a Golden Retriever owned by Denise Corliss, and “Morgan,” an English Springer Spaniel owned by Katrene Johnson, also received AKC titles presented by AKC Companion Animal Recovery CEO Tom Sharp in a ceremony at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center, which celebrated the grand opening of its training center today.“Kaiser” and “Bretagne” worked at the World Trade Center following the attacks of 9/11, while “Morgan” searched for human remains at the Staten Island Landfill.

The mission of the Center is to serve as a consortium for programs that employ dogs to detect threats to local, regional and national security. The overarching goal is to collect and analyze genetic, behavioral and physical data, and integrate the latest scientific information in order to optimize the success and well-being of detection dogs.

Funded by multiple grants from the AKC Companion Animal Recovery totaling nearly $200,000, one of the Center’s current programs is the AKC CAR Detection Dog DNA Bank and Health Registry. The program will help search and rescue organizations, law enforcement, breeders and handlers identify the genetic and behavioral factors contributing to the success of these vital dogs.

This month, AKC Pick of the Litter podcast listeners will have the opportunity to enjoy an interview with the first SAR titleholder Beckie Stanevich, and also hear from Dr. Cindy Otto, Director of the Penn Vet Working Dog Center at the University of Pennsylvania. Rounding out the special August/September SAR edition of the podcast is an on-site interview with the Ramapo Rescue Dog Association in Mahwah, NJ, where AKC staffers took part in a training exercise and simulated rescue.“Listen in” to the rescue here.

The owners of Urban Search and Rescue dogs that are FEMA or state deployable can request a title by downloading and completing this form.

The dog must be AKC registered. The owner is required to also submit a copy of the certificate the dog received from FEMA or the State organization in order to verify the dog has been certified.

For more information contact Lisa Carroll at 919-816-3900 or performanceevents@akc.org.

The name ‘coffee’ is derived from the name of a bird there called the “ceffi” by the natives).

Ethiopia’s recorded history began by 400 BC when it was known as Axum already familiar to seafarers active in the spice trade to India. The Roman Empire’s legions arrived in 30 BC when Augustus conquered Egypt establishing the trade with Rome for goods. The kingdom spread south and westward over the next few centuries, and began trading with both the Western and Roman Empire until the Muslim conquest of Egypt ca. 640 AD. The conquerors cut off Axum from European markets, and since then the references found in European and Byzantine documents vanished gradually, and the Empire went into a slow declining spiral.

Ethiopia is also the oldest independent country in Africa and one of the oldest in the world. Known by the Greeks, the historian Herodotus (5th.

Century B.C.) mentioned ancient Ethiopia in his writings. The Bible’s Old Testament records the Queen of Sheba’s visit to Jerusalem. This visit resulted in the imperial family of Ethiopia’s affirmation that their origin came directly from Menelik I, the son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba (of the kingdom

within Axum/Ethiopia) who was the founder of the Ethiopian Empire. In the fourth century Missionaries from Egypt and Syria introduced Christianity to Axum but with the rise of Islam Ethiopia was gradually cut off from European Christendom.

The Solomonid Dynasty was founded and ruled by the Habesha line from 1270 and for many centuries on.

It was under this dynasty that most of the countries’ most important modern history occurred. In 1935 Italian soldiers invaded Ethiopia. Italy was condemned by the League of Nations, because it used mustard gas during the invasion spraying it from airplanes, and spread it in powdered form on the ground. Around 150,000 chemical casualties resulted from mustard gas poisoning. Italy annexed Ethiopia, uniting it with its other colonies in eastern Africa forming the colony of Italian East Africa. King Vittorio Emanuele III of Italy adopted the title Emperor of Abyssinia. Italy was withdrawn after five years occupation.

The empire of Ethiopia, (Abyssinia) existed from about 1137 until 1974 when the monarchy was overthrown in a coup d’état. Ethiopia was the only African nation together with Liberia to remain independent during the Scramble for Africa by the European imperial powers in the late 19th century.

(Wikipedia).

The Federal Republic of Ethiopia is located in the Horn of Africa and is bordered by Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, South Sudan, and Sudan. The capital city is Addis Abeba. The country has over eight ethnic groups, covers an area of 1.104.302 sq.kms, and by 2012 estimate has 84.320.987 inhabitants.

“It is much easier to show compassion to animals.

They are never wicked.” Haile Selassie Haile Selassie is a famous figure in both Ethiopian and African history, and undoubtedly is the most prominent personage of Ethiopia. Selassie was born on 23 July 1892, in a village in the Harar province from a noble line of rulers. He was considered a descendent of Menelik I. Born Tafari Makonnen, Selassie 1st. was Ethiopia’s regent from 1916 to 1930 and Emperor of Ethiopia since 1931; Exiled during World War II reinstated in 1941. Selassie was the country’s 225th and last emperor, until his deposition by the Marxist dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam in 1974.

Over the four decades Selassie presided over the country expressing personal authority. His reforms greatly strengthened education, security, and general development, and a new constitution (centralized on his power). In February 1974 Haile Selassie was eventually ousted from power in a coup d’état, and kept under house arrest in his palace until his death in 1975.

Reports revealed that he had probably been strangled to death on the orders of the new government. His remains were discovered, buried under a toilet in the Imperial Palace. In November 2000 the late emperor received a proper burial, and his body was laid to rest in Addis Ababa’s Trinity Cathedral.

I was amazed to learn that Selassie -even for him a surprise- originated the Rastafarian movement.

Selassie born Tafari was named Ras-Tafari, meaning Prince Tafari, sometime mentioned as the “King of Kings”, “Elect of God”, etc… His name was becoming cult, and symbol to the Jamaican born black activists Marcus Garvey’s “Back to Africa” movement who believed that the only way blacks would have equality was through separation of races, tracing his country’s population’s relationship to Ethiopia. Bob Marley was one of the leaders of this group.(more information at www.Ethiopia Rastafarian Connection to Bob Marley).

Compared to easily obtaining much information about the Abyssinian cat, the difficulty in finding documents about the origins of Ethiopia’s indigenous and only breed the Sand Terrier is a difficult task. The main difference between the Abyssinian cats and dogs documentation may be the great number and popularity of the cat, and the rarity even in its homeland of the dog.

These dogs resemble American and Chinese hairless breeds. The fact is that in every dog breed’s development sailors, traders, warriors, and nomads were the always in motion true collaborators who interfered in their history. Anyhow the hairless dogs generally are healthy animals. Intelligent, people loving, affectionate and willing to please their human family.

The Abyssinian Sand Terrier or African Hairless Dog can grow 15.5 to 20.5 in (39 to 52 cm) tall and weigh 21 to 39 lb (9.5 to 18 kg). Abyssinian Sand Terriers are hairless except for the skull and towards the end of the tail. However, some dogs are totally hairless. The colors are bronze, elephant gray, grayish black, black, pale sandy, and mottled. Their ears are rose shaped.

The Abyssinian Sand Terrier’s head is broad in the skull with a long, tapered muzzle. The eyes are medium and almond shaped, but do not bulge.

Their ears are either rose shaped or large or bat like; both are very thin in texture. The nose is usually black, but many Abyssinian Sand Terriers have a nose that is the same color as their coat. Their bite is scissor or level. The neck is arched slightly and gets thicker the closer it gets to the shoulders. The Abyssinian Sand Terrier has a very deep and broad chest, with the depth reaching the elbows. This breed has a level back and a round rump. The tail is low set and tapers to a fine point. This dog has a good reach in its gait and is very well balanced.

Abyssinian Sand Terriers are fearless, loyal, and willing to please http://www.docstoc.com/ docs/112468494/Abyssinian_Sand_Terrier The Sand Terriers, as other hairless dogs, have some different needs including conscientious attention to their warmth and cleanliness.

Frequent bathing can dry out their skin, so specific care is necessary to keep them clean. This breed is somewhat more active than other smaller breeds of this type. Hairless dogs are wonderful companions because they are loving, playful, and smart dogs. Their hairlessness and soft skin make them especially suitable for people with mild or moderate allergies.

We all realize that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Certainly in the Abyssinian Sand Terrier’s little bald body, is a big and loving heart that needs the fancy’s compassion, and attention to be saved from extinction. *The 11 medieval monolithic cave churches of the 13th-century are situated in a mountainous region in the heart of Ethiopia near a traditional village with circular-shaped dwellings. The cave church of Lalibela of Ethiopian Christianity, still today a place of pilgrimage and devotion. ** The author notes that the historical foundation of her story comes from registries by Josephus the 1st. century historian who has written the account of the mass suicide.

Continued FROM page 78

her breath away! So Gene walks in the ring, does as Annie told him to do and she looked magnificent-except for one thing-the judge walked up to Gene and said who told you to put her on the table-Gene said she did and pointed to Annie. The judge promptly said well she's not the judge today I want her on the floor please. This was at Devon I think and after going winners bitch the first two days she promptly went third in the bred by class!! And speaking of Devon how times have changed there in case you have not noticed. It's certainly true that when Mrs. Robson was alive the quality of the judging panels particularly for the terrier breeds was far superior to what I believe we have today.

And this was true even though Mr. Robson always was negative about the so-called demands made by the terrier people on the Devon show committee. To say nothing of his disdain for the complaints about the tent set-up there as well. Mrs. Robson on the other hand was far more willing to compromise and listen to the terrier people. Of late the terrier panels have been questionable particularly at Devon but its use of the foreign judge on this particular weekend has gotten totally out of hand. I mean it's one thing to bring in experienced people in the off breeds but the use of Australians and New Zealanders who are not specialists in these breeds can really be harmful. Also the unknown Canadian judges being used throughout the country has totally gotten out of hand particularly with this new idea of taking a test and buying a breed for $25 in perpetuity! What nonsense! But getting back to using the basically unknown people from Down Under the most glaring recent example is this year's substitute judge from New Zealand in Airedales. New Zealand has 6 or 7 well-known Airedale breeders and this lady from what I hear is one of them.

What her exposure outside of her area is is anyone's guess but she was not even on the panel with which to begin so why take the chance on this kind of a weekend? Under regular circumstances I would say it's the luck of the draw but having owned an Australian bred terrier bitch who went BIS from the classes at Devon I realize the importance and meaningful nature of this kind of win on this particular weekend.

And writing of Margaret brings back the memory of my first Airedale bitch, which was exhibited for the very first time at the very first Hatboro show. When Hatboro latched on with Devon and Montgomery a

number of purists were not too happy about this sort of an extended weekend. Today of course is another matter and Hatboro has matured into a major two-day event worldwide. Then it was not the case but to go back to Gabby who was bred by Ercilia LeNy and shown for us by Gunther Behr. At her very first show-Hatboro- Gunther was too tied up to show her so they had me do it under Virginia Hampton. Mrs. Hampton promptly awarded her Winners Bitch with me handling. As I recall she was not exhibited Saturday at Devon although she may have been-in any event I do recall we did nothing there but the next day was Mrs. Marvin doing bitches and Gunther made the ring although I started her and don't you know she went winners again. In those days I was very close to Mrs. Clark but truly my heart and mind was on my bloodhounds and not terriers. I did not realize that Mrs. Marvin was doing only bitches and after this great win went loping off to tell Mrs. Clark of our great victory.

With which I was promptly imperially shut up by her reaction which was something to the effect of 'why are you telling me now-I am doing the breed in Airedales'. Well I thought I really had screwed up royally which I had as I did not realize at the time how bitches, dogs and inter-sex could be and still are divided in the large judging classes--after all this was more than 40 years ago--but somehow despite my blunder she was still awarded Best of Winners!

I had just recently met Gene and technically he was not Gabby's co-owner but I included him as being the co-owner on the entry papers. I was such a nice guy then and mistakenly put his name first instead of mine on the form. To this day he is listed on the magnificent Airedale Cup as her sole owner and I still can't get the Airedale people to change that! Thanks to Virginia Latham though when Margaret's Group third was left out of the catalogue she got that changed...eventually.

One last Montgomery thought has to do with the year one of the Finnish "boys" was to do Best there. We were showing the late great Willie then who was of course both Finnish bred and a Garden Group winner and World Show winner as well--we thought we had a pretty good shot at winning at Montgomery. At the last moment the judge's mother became ill three days before the show and another judge replaced him. The dog was awarded Group Three but that's dog shows for you-nothing is ever usually ever quite certain and I guess that's why we go back year after year and week after week. Have a great Montgomery and have fun there for sure.
