YOUR WEEK IN ORLANDO in what is arguably one of the most exhausting weeks in all of dogdom for at least conformation dogs it is not only possible for some dogs to be exhibited for 6 straight days but also multiple times within that time frame, as some exhibits could be exhibited as many as 3 or 4 times in a single day. The AENC in its efforts to “celebrate the dog” has forgotten that dogs get tired and weary, too. Therefore these pages are forced to ask, when is enough enough? The next time you hear an exhibitor tell you how tired they are in Orlando ask them how do you think your dog feels!!! Nothing forces the exhibitor to elect to show their dogs that often--that’s his or her choice but what choice does the dog have these pages would like to know. And don’t misinterpret these remarks as being negative towards the idea of a special AKC event with all the trimmings. It’s just that combined with the Delegate and Board Meetings and all the other ancillary events it would make more sense to hold an independent show for two days as a stand alone, which is also not in competition with other AKC licensed shows. The Staff of AKC, which comes in for some rather unfair criticism from the Board at times, is truly responsible for the entire success of the event as they basically run the AENC from soup to nuts. Whilst at the show don’t forget to thank them for all the work they do in having made the entire affair so popular through the years. They do more than a yeoman’s job in handling the entire operation.

AND WHAT ABOUT THE EUKANUBA WORLD CHALLENGE

As you all know, or should be aware, the Eukanuba World Challenge event has been moved to the Amsterdam Winter Show on the same date as AENC. It’s difficult to figure out how many dogs and from which country the dogs were invited but so far according to the EWC web site 33 exhibits have accepted.

None from North, South or Central America accepted the Invitation presuming they were invited as they were last year. There were at least three exhibits eligible to compete from the States-the Westminster

Winner, the AENC winner and the BBE at AENC last year. All declined for various reasons. Interesting to note that unlike in past years the invitation was a paper one only! No offer to pay ANY expenses or costs whatsoever as was done in the past! Do you think that’s why the entries are basically so heavily European with that occasional Asian representative thrown in?

EVER GROWING ILLEGAL PUPPY TRADE The Dog Trust in the UK has issued a report that thousands of ‘designer puppies’ are being illegally sent to the UK and that a number of vets in Lithuania and Hungary were prepared to falsify the needed papers to ship the pups and say they have received vaccinations against rabies when they had in fact not received them at all. An investigation by the U.K.’s largest dog welfare charity reveals the high level of corruption at the heart of the puppy smuggling trade, plus the worrying welfare risks imposed on dogs and humans alike. Shocking investigative footage reveals European vets have been allegedly caught on camera making false documents with underage pups slipping through the net undeclared! Breeders are alleged to be making more than 100,000 Euros a year from this trade and the trade is spiraling out of control upwards with no deterrent in sight.

The threat of disease is apparent and the pups traveling thousands of miles in apparent appalling conditions.

The number of dogs entering Great Britain alone has increased from by 780% from Lithuania and 663% from Hungary since 2010!! One can only imagine what is going on in the States, as so little control is evident in so far as our international shipping of dogs situations are involved. It’s almost as bad as the report of the Maine Franklin county animal shelter offering Christmas Day deliveries of new pets!

They write if you are hoping to surprise your family with a new pup pick one out to be specially delivered to your door on Christmas Day! Just what is not needed is an impulse buy of a puppy for Christmas! How will that evolve into responsible ownership as a long-term commitment? Some shelters market that not only is this okay to do but they will deliver the pet for you as well!!!!

THE BOARD AND THE DELEGATES MEET IN ORLANDO How seriously the Board will argue the proposed amendments to the Judging Approval Processes is probably known by now by most in the Fancy.

These pages predict a no decision until after the elections in March and a compromise proposal put into effect.

Certainly the more mature judge and long time exhibitor and breeder seem to look for changes from what has been proposed while the newer less seasoned adjudicator accepts with relish the idea that it be made easier to cheapen requirements to advance as a judge. Let’s hope that the majority on the Board have been swayed somewhat from a hard type easier stance to harder, more demanding requirements of those affected by the changes. Those Delegates wanting to become Board Members again or to continue to serve as well were heard from as well in the Delegates Question and Answer period to those running in the March elections. Too bad that discussion is not made public as well but is a wellshielded meeting among peers. With new registration figures being kept from the Fancy’s eye once again one must wonder aloud at the success or failures of that department. Apparently the head Mark Dunn is a great talker but what exactly has he accomplished one is forced to ask and how long is the CFO to last with the abortive budget he guided to submit and had to be redirected for hopeful approval in December. The erosion in confidence in AKC’s management on the Board level remains a paramount topic and how it will be resolved is a serious matter to consider.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Well it’s the end of the year and the last shows for 2014 are upon us. It’s been a long, contentious year for AKC and a heartbreaking year for many of us on a personal level. But hope must prevail as we face the Holidays from Chanukah to Christmas to Kwanzaa and the New Year, too. All of us at DOG NEWS look forward to the first issue of the year, which will be January 9th as our traditional Christmas/ New Year break starts. Our offices will be closed from the 24th of December through January 4th but we will be available by means of all the various social media devices available. Have a Happy, and above all a safe and healthy holiday respite. See you in 2015!!!!!

It’s The Law! The Kitchen Sink

By Margaret Poindexter

Former AKC VP and General Counsel Nearly seven years ago, I interviewed with my predecessor, Michael Swick, for a job at AKC. Michael, then AKC’s General Counsel, and I both lived in Georgia at the time, and so we arranged for our meeting to take place in Atlanta, over lunch at Maggiano’s near Lennox Square. In the course of the interview, Michael asked why I wanted to come to work for AKC, and I told him that, among other reasons, showing dogs was a very important part of my life and after all that the sport had given to me, I felt compelled to give something back. He looked at me and said, “Oh, so you show dogs?” And after I replied yes, he said, “So you understand how crazy these people are!”

He actually meant no disrespect, and I didn’t take offense. The essence of what Michael was trying to say was that I, as a fellow dog show person, could relate to the passion and intensity among AKC’s constituency, and that would prepare me well for what I would face working

for the AKC. And he was essentially right.

But nothing I did as a dog show person, or in any other endeavor for that matter, adequately prepared me for working my first “Eukanuba”. From a staff perspective, working the show is like childbirth: your body forgets the pain before the next show comes around, enabling you to do it all over again. While folks tried to warn me what to expect, no one can adequately describe it. You just have to live through it to understand.

I laugh at how naïve I was that first year, traveling to Long Beach with my formal wear and cute shoes in tow. It’s a wonder I survived.

For last year’s event, I took one whole suitcase of shoes, in order to heed Paula’s wise advice to change shoes multiple times a day. To this day, when I shop for shoes, I still catch myself thinking, those would work for “Eukanuba”.

This edition of Dog News comes out on the eve of arguably the biggest weekend in dogdom: “Celebrate Dogs,” as it is now called by its sponsors and

“I am sure some of you are thinking, our cluster lasts for as many days, and we have at least as many things going on.

Don’t kid yourself. This is not your mother’s dog show.”

14 Dog News

PR folks. Presented by the American Kennel Club and Eukanuba Dog Food, the weekend in Orlando is billed as the “nation’s largest canine celebration”, and includes the AKC Eukanuba National Championship Dog Show, AKC Meet the Breeds, NADD/AKC Dock Diving Championship, the AKC Agility Invitational, and the AKC Obedience Championship. The planning, coordination, resources, and just plain work that goes into staging an event of this magnitude would tax any organization, and yet, year after year, the staff of the AKC pulls off a wildly successful event and makes it look easy.

But make no mistake: it ain’t easy.

It’s a grueling, exhausting, draining, makes your feet feel like they’re going to fall off week.

Yes, week. Because for most of staff, the event starts on the Monday or Tuesday before and won’t end until the Monday or Tuesday after.

I am sure some of you are thinking, our cluster lasts for as many days, and we have at least as many things going on.

Don’t kid yourself.

This is not your mother’s dog show.

The conformation dog show alone is a huge undertaking. A National Championship, after all. The culmination of an entire year of dog shows. That in and of itself would be sufficient for most. But not here. Until this year, the conformation show also included a World Challenge with international exhibitors and an opening ceremony. This year the show will feature the finals of the Owner Handled Series competition. Add to those competitions, elite Agility and Obedience competitions, and a new dock diving championship.

Coupled with those competitions are events geared to the dogloving public: a demonstration ring, a “canine shopping mall”, the AKC Humane Fund ACE Awards, and last Continued on page 64

BAbbling

LOYALTY, SNOBBISM AND CLUB MEMBERSHIP?

By Geir Flyckt-Pedersen

I

suppose I am boring some of you seriously, but having known the American World of Pedigree dogs for so many years, there are still questions popping up in my head which probably never will be answered.

One of them has to do with loyalty.

In the 1950’s (I think) a group of breeders disagreed with the ideology of the Norwegian Kennel Club (or maybe they were simply excluded from the club) and formed their own club and register named Norges Hunders Landsforbund.

One of the leading figures in this effort was a great Boxer breeder, Major Strand, whose dogs had impacted the breed all over Scandinavia- and the last was an export to Sweden named Strandborg Quass. A very prolific sire.

But all this babbling is beyond the point.

What, however, is the point: When I entered this mystical world of dogs, I had a couple of friends owning dogs/pets that they occasionally showed at one of the very few annual NHL shows.

When I happened to mention to our club secretary (affiliated with the real NKK) that I planned to go and watch the judging I was told: If you want to remain a member of this club, you can not in any way support that club without repercussions. Not even as a spectator. I could never watch my friends show these dogs at these NHL shows, so I persuaded them

to apply for a “deponition number” from the Norwegian Kennel Klub, as then if their dogs were awarded a 2nd in quality or better, they could transfer to the proper register. I don’t think their “new club” completely accepted their pedigrees so they were left as dogs with background unknown. But we were used to that in those days, as that was the case with so many of our domestic breeds after the war. You could pick up a dog at a farm, take him/her to be “type confirmed” at a show by an authorized judge of the breed. And many dogs “found” that way proved to be of great value of breeds like Norwegian Buhunds, Lundehunds, Greenland Dogs even Norwegian Elkhounds plus all those Norwegian Hound breeds.

But back to NHL (not the NHL you’re thinking of). Their main purpose was of course to “overthrow” the old mother organization and they had many interesting ideas.

One of them was a 2 or 3 judge system, where no dogs were ever judged by one person only.

I have no clue how it worked as I was not allowed to set foot in their territory, but I am sure it would have been interesting…

So coming to the US hearing that two of my terrier friends, both professional handlers, had judged for the UKC I was simply amazed!

How could you possibly support one organization and then legally, without any penalties, support another?

Must admit that I do not have sufficient knowledge about how the legal system works in this country, but still wonder why these guys were

“I know the “new” club and register claimed to be part of an international organization on par with the FCI, but for years I have not heard anything about any of these clubs.”

18 Dog News

not simply banned from any AKC event for all future. Which is what would have happened to anyone in a similar situation in my home country.

I know the “new” club and register claimed to be part of an international organization on par with the FCI, but for years I have not heard anything about any of these clubs.

My guess is that the Norwegian Kennel Club by its tough and unforgiving attitude was able to prevent this attempt by the “traitors” to run them over, by never recognizing any awards, registrations, pedigrees, etc.

And the competing club just vanished into thin air. In Norway as well as in Sweden, Denmark, Finland and the UK it is simply a fact accepted by the general public: If you want a pure bred dog of some quality, you have no choice, you buy one that is registered with the country’s FCI affiliated kennel clubs.

I have wondered why the AKC with all its resources does not take every opportunity to influence the American people and convince them about the simple fact : If you want a quality pedigree dog, make sure it has a pedigree issued by the AKC. Which can hopefully become a truth if the organization abandons its relationship with any commercial puppy mill.

Since moving to the US- and even earlier-we have become members of a few breed clubs, which of course is very nice.

But what has amazed and surprised us is the process.

It varies from club to club, but in all cases it is a ”several steps” procedure.

So different from my old world.

We normally included the first years breed club subscription in the price for any puppy we sold, to make sure the buyer could find all the help they might need along the way- plus at Continued on page 68

WHICH DID YOU PREFER-THE AKC/ EUKANUBA SHOW AS AN INVITATIONAL EVENT OR AS A SPECIAL ALL-BREED EVENT OPEN TO ALL DOGS AS IT HAS BECOME?

Jean Gauchat-Hargis

Invitational event makes it more special.

Greg Strong & Carla Viggiano

We like the all dog system. It goes back to the original days when Westminster was the only unique and prestigious show-it was an honor and a thrill to start off a dog there and go WD or WB and possibly win the Breed from the classes. If the goal is to supersede Westminster it needs to remain welcoming and inviting and find ways to grow the class entry (prize money for WD/WB?) and the Specials entry will grow subsequently. Television coverage needs to be given again.

Many exhibitors find this appealing and the public needs more positive exposure to our sport.

Daryl Martin

Truthfully, I feel that something invitational makes it a step above the rest.

Armando Angelbello

My preference is the current AKC/Eukanuba event practice, open to all dogs. Competition would be further enhanced if there were no competing shows elsewhere.

Glen Lajeski

To bring the sport to everyone it’s important to make this show accessible to all, especially if it is to be THE show put on by the AKC. This should not be viewed as an elitist show, rather a show for the entire fancy. And, how many times have we seen that special dog rise from the classes to win over top specials.

Bill McFadden

I preferred the excitement of working all year to be invited as one of the top dogs in your breed.

Daniel A Beloff

As an invitational; make it special, not simply one more show.

You And Your

Vet

BY Merry Fitzgerald, DVM.

Why did my dog’s tooth turn purple?

The hollow area inside a tooth is filled with sensitive pulp tissue. This tissue is composed of blood vessels, nerve endings and connective tissue. Damage to the dental pulp causes inflammation known as pulpitis. In dogs, the most common reason for pulpitis is trauma to a tooth, either from blunt trauma or chewing on hard objects. Some scenarios leading to pulpitis include accidental baseball bat swings, golf club swings, hit-by-car injuries, and rough play or fights with other dogs.

The teeth most frequently affected are the canine (fang) teeth and the carnassial teeth (the upper fourth premolar – large upper teeth in the back of the mouth).

These teeth appear discolored from pink to purple, grey and brown. Similar to a skin bruise, the color change is a result of bleeding and the bursting of red blood cells within the tooth.

Depending on the severity of the trauma, the pulpitis may be reversible or irreversible. Reversible pulpitis is caused by minor trauma, with the tooth surviving the injury. Irreversible pulpitis is a result of inflammation usually due to a fracture of a tooth and leads to the death of the tooth. These dead or dying teeth are a potential source of bacterial infection.

People suffering from pulpitis confirm that the condition is painful, but dogs rarely show obvious signs of discomfort. Clients who felt their dog was not bothered by a broken tooth said their dog acted “like a puppy” shortly after the problem had been treated.

A radiograph of the tooth is the first step to evaluate the bone and confirm that the root is intact. Two options exist for treatment of the pulpitis tooth: extraction or endodontic (root canal) therapy. These teeth are great candidates for root canals because they are often functionally important teeth. Remember, the canine or fang teeth are the most commonly affected.

Root canal therapy involves the removal of the diseased pulp tissue. The cleaned and disinfected root canal is filled with material to prevent future bacterial contamination. Tooth-colored restorations are then placed to seal the openings in the tooth.

Results of root canal treatment are excellent when the procedure is performed correctly.

A related procedure used in immature teeth is vital pulp therapy. This may be performed on recently fractured teeth in younger dogs, usually under 18 months of age. This treatment can help keep the tooth alive, allowing it to become stronger eventually by laying down new dentin within the tooth. Teeth treated with vital pulp therapy may require root canal treatment if the vital pulp therapy fails.

The only other option for treatment is extraction of the diseased tooth. The extraction procedure of the large canine teeth and the large chewing (carnassial) teeth can be traumatic and painful due to the size of the roots of these teeth. This is major oral surgery, comparable to removing impacted wisdom teeth in humans. The dog also loses the function of the tooth, which can be important in working dogs.

Teeth that receive root canal therapy can be restored to a near normal white color by applying a bleach solution at the time of the procedure. A metal crown may be indicated following root canal Continued on page 72

Brace Yourself Are Breeders Hasty With Male Puppies?

By ANDREW BRACE I recently judged three breeds at one of the general Championship shows in the UK with decent entries for the current climate and wondered whether it was entirely coincidental that I left each ring having come to the same conclusion, that being that there was no depth in the male classes but the bitches showed some strength.

One of the breeds was a breed with which I have been very involved and I pondered that, were I still breeding, I would be at a loss to know where to go for a new stud dog in the future.

That set me thinking and I have a notion as to why this should be. Most of our breeders are these days smallscale breeders who do not run large establishments that were in the past commonplace. When they breed a litter it is usually with a view to keeping the best bitch with which they can continue their breeding programme and most will only consider running on a male if it is outstanding.

We all know that puppies in most breeds go through ugly teenage stages when they grow out of proportion and usually they regain their previous form. However I am convinced that 30 Dog News

many breeders make hasty decisions where male puppies are concerned. Given that they have a sibling dog and bitch, when a caring potential pet owner calls looking for a male companion, do they hastily let go a dog puppy because it is going through the “ugly duckling” stage, whereas they would hold on to a similar bitch always knowing that if it does not turn out as they hoped they will still breed from it?

Many breeders of my acquaintance have admitted to me that they have let dog puppies go in haste, only to have them brought back by their owners at a later stage for grooming or a simple assessment and they have realised that they have let something special slip through the net.

The selection and retention of puppies is a complex business and it is imperative that breeders know their bloodlines. Different lines develop differently and, as an example, when I was building up my small Beagle kennel I worked with two very successful lines. However my life was not made easy as I knew full well that puppies from the one line tended to come on in general substance as they matured whereas the other line started off with chunkier puppies that tended to fine down.

A male that turns out to be less than outstanding is unlikely to demand much stud work so is very much a passenger as far as the breeder is concerned. A bitch who is a near miss, on the other hand, can be upgraded if bred to the right stud dog, so as a consequence most serious breeders tend to focus on the bitches they keep.

Gone are the days when breeders can afford to run on whole litters to the age of six months or beyond, as they did in the past, to ensure that they keep the very best. Nowadays surplus puppies need to be placed in car-

ing pet homes if they are obviously not going to measure up. But how can breeders be sure? In the majority of breeds with which I have been involved I have always believed that you should evaluate puppies at eight weeks of age when usually they will demonstrate the same balance and proportions that they will when fully mature. It is then best to forget them until they get to twelve months or so. That requires a lot of self-control when you have a male puppy that seems to be all legs and wings, bum-high and wobbly in front! Only the steely determination of the experienced breeder will enable them to stick with that puppy until it is fully mature. This is why I believe that some potentially excellent males get sidelined into pet homes before they have reached their true potential.

I have discussed this matter with several breeders across different breeds and reluctantly they agree that they are far more lenient and forgiving of growing bitch puppies than their litter brothers and several have in fact quoted case histories of “the one that got away”.

There is also the question of what is required of an embryo stud dog. In most breeds the dogs that produce are those that are overtly masculine and have “something to give”. I can recall several examples of top winning males who exuded quality and charisma and achieved mighty winning record in the show ring by virtue of their class and refinement, yet when it came to producing they were something of a disappointment. However in some cases they had litter brothers that were not shown as successfully, that were a little “thuggier” and bordering on being overdone, that turned out to be far better stud dogs.

“Pretty” males do not often make great stud dogs, regardless of the breed, though as with everything there have been exceptions.

When economics dictate that breeders cannot afford to run on puppies indefinitely, it does occur to me that sometimes males get passed on in haste, only to see their breeders subsequently regret “the one that got away”.

“Gone are the days when breeders can afford to run on whole litters to the age of six months or beyond, as they did in the past, to ensure that they keep the very best.”

Now Here’s What A Real Critique Should Look Like!

Fox Terrier Specialty April 1959

BY WILLIAM L. KENDRICK

While reading through an old POPULAR DOGS issue of April 1959 I came across Mr. Kendrick’s critique of the Fox Terrier show held before Westminster. In these days of Judges turmoil about the Approval Process I thought what a great lesson and read for ALL judges to see and absorb. Who today I wonder could even come close to writing such a critique about any breed? — Matthew H. Stander

NATIONAL W DOG SHOW GALA TIES A RIBBON AROUND INDUSTRY’S BIG NOVEMBER PLATFORM

By SEAN BERGER

Photos by Steve Surfman

hen the dog world descended upon Philadelphia last month, the community service component of the Kennel Club of Philadelphia’s annual cluster took center stage at a Friday night party and the stars were a group spectacular canines - therapy dogs from the Philadelphia Ronald McDonald House.

Special guests at the second annual National Dog Show Gala, the dogs and their handlers were introduced to a crowd of 150 by their biggest advocate, Master of Ceremonies David Frei, whose advocacy efforts have generated measurable advancements in the use of therapy dogs in healthcare institutions across David Frei; the country.

dogs and their work to comfort the young, aged and afflicted in the Philadelphia region.

The well-connected Frei, founder of the New York Citybased therapy dog non-profit Angel On A Leash, brought the parties together three years ago and at the National Dog Show Gala, there was thunderous applause for Abner and Stella, a combined 275 pounds of Dogues de Bordeaux; the Belgian sheepdog Waylon, who competed at Saturday; Vivian, the decorated Staffordshire terrier mix whose therapy work included a stint in the Philadelphia prison system; and Butler, the official therapy dog of The Weather Channel, who travels the country comforting families displaced by severe weather events.

The evening also featured the celebrity presence of John O’Hurley, who with Frei co-hosts the popular NBC Thanksgiving Day offering, and Mary Carillo, the NBC Olympics reporter/anchor and tennis commentator. The line of the evening came from Carillo, an unabashed dog lover who does the TV work for both the National Dog Show and with Frei on USA Network’s annual presentation of Westminster. After listing much of her TV reporting resume with particular attention to the two dog shows, Carillo said, “If I were to rank all these things that I do, I have to tell you: The Olympics gets the bronze.” The room full of dog show people enjoyed that sentiment and so it went at the Hilton Garden Inn in Oaks, across the way from the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, where the benched shows the next two days attracted record crowds.

“It all fits together quite nicely,” said Frei in reference to the synergy between the Kennel Club of Philadelphia and the Ronald McDonald House around therapy dogs and their respective missions.

“They provide a mutually beneficial promotional platform for one another and, of course, the dogs will take all the attention they can get.”

The event was also highlighted by the magic of Joshua Jay, a red carpet where guests could get their pictures taken with the therapy dogs and a video telling the story of the Ronald McDonald House, which was born in Philadelphia and is celebrating in 2014 its 40th anniversary of supporting families of seriously ill children by creating a community of comfort and hope.

THE PETIT BASSET GRIFFON VENDEEN

Petit in Name

BUT ÉNORME AS A HUNTER

Glee (UCD RO1 UCH GCh Ch Suton Crepu Visage Collage de L’amour CDX GN BN RAE MH CGC), one of Minta (“Mike”) Williquette’s PBGVs, is a master hunter but turned up her nose initially at the sport of barn hunt because the rats didn’t run and she had nothing to chase.

by M.J. Nelson One of the great favorites of spectators watching the hound group at dog shows is always the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen or PBGV. With their shaggy good looks and charming personalities, their pass down the length of the group ring always creates an eruption of cheers and applause. But, these little dogs are a whole lot more than just show ring “pretties.” They are exceptional hunters in the field with all the traits a hunter would ever want–boldness, determination, physical and mental stamina and a really good nose–in a rabbit hunting dog. They also are successful in several performance activities including obedience, agility, flyball, tracking and freestyle as well as in search and rescue and as therapy dogs. They are successful in these activities because they are willing to please their owners, up to a point, say those who have worked with the breed in these activities.

Good luck to all those competing this weekend at the American Kennel Club/Eukanuba National Championship, the largest dog show in the United States, and to all those who will not be attending (Saturday and Sunday evenings are both sold out), we’d love to tell you how you can watch all or some of the action on television but unfortunately those details have somehow still not been finalized or if they have been the AKC and Eukanuba have been keeping them a guarded secret. Inquiries to Eukanuba and to AKC Chairman Alan Kalter have gone unanswered but AKC Director of PR Hillary Prim states that they “should have something end of the week!” Back on November 19 she told me, “In addition to the live stream of all evening events, we can confirm that there will be a televised show as well. An announcement with all details will be coming soon,” but the show will all but be underway by the time that information will be released. One is left to surmise that there will be no live telecast of any portion of the event save for a last second Christmas Miracle so hopefully dog enthusiasts will have access to WiFi and high speed Internet connections so they can live stream the action at live.eukanuba.com. Perhaps a taped portion of the event will crop on television on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon in January or February, up against NFL or college sporting events, as was the case in previous years.

Despite the buzz around the AENC and the holiday crush, canine legislation matters continue to surface. In New York City, dog owners are hoping for their own version of a Christmas Miracle as they wait with bated breath to discover how the New York City Council Committee on Health will weigh in on the proposal that would mandate the sterilization of all pets prior to transfer. Sources tell us that a vote is now scheduled for Dec. 17th and while some officials have vowed to strike down the measure it appears as if they are amongst the minority on the matter at the moment. Grassroots efforts and Facebook campaigns have been instrumental in enlightening the general public about the dangers of spay/neuter surgeries to puppies at such tender ages, and the AKC’s Government Relations Department’s vigilant monitoring of the issue continues to elucidate the dangers inherent in the proposal but whether or not these movements will be enough to counteract the animal rightists’ propaganda machine remains to be seen.

As Ann Lettis of the Responsible Dog Owners Association of New York points out, these same people who support the mandatory spay/neuter of young pups also support a ban on horse-drawn carriages in the city. One wonders what’s next, a ban on depicting reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh? Optimists who take the glass half-full ap-

proach remain hopeful that the NYCCCOH will make the right decision and prevent MSN from becoming reality right in the AKC’s backyard.

Sheila Goffe, head of the AKC’s GR Dept. said, “No further testimony will be taken before the vote, so we’re now focusing on grassroots; reaching out to constituents, members of NYC area dog clubs and others in the area and asking them to contact their city council members in opposition to mandatory s/n. So, bottom line, we’re glad they’ve already made some of the changes we’ve asked for; but we’re hoping that local New Yorkers can help make this a real Christmas miracle.”

Dog lovers are also longing for a Christmas Miracle in Michigan, where despite a near yearlong battle, a breeding limit bill that redefines “large scale commercial breeder” has just passed the House of Representatives. All Michigan residents are urged to contact their Senators immediately and politely ask them to oppose House Bill 5095 and its companion bill, Senate Bill 560.

As written HB 5095 will limit the number of dogs that can be kept on a single premises and would define a “large scale commercial breeder” not on actual sales but on the number of intact female dogs a person owns. That number is currently set at 15 intact females over four months of age, but once a number is established it can always be revisited, lowered or eventually eliminated entirely.

To wit, an earlier version of the bill had set the limit at 50. Arbitrarily arrived at ownership limits must be fought head-on, as they do not reflect the care animals receive nor the conditions in which they live, nor do they reflect the actual sale or transfer of pets. The Michigan bills would, in effect, regulate people based on the property they own, as dogs are considered property, rather than on actual breeding or commercial activity.

These owners of multiple dogs (property) who do not breed or who only breed an occasional litter would be considered commercial businesses and may suddenly find themselves in violation of local zoning or homeowners association codes.

They may have to apply for special licenses, permits and variances, make expensive renovations to existing structures, move out of state or relinquish their dogs. The AKC’s GR Dept. and the Michigan Association for Pure Bred Dogs have been closely monitoring this situation for the past seven months or so, issuing warnings, alerts and advice and once again they are rallying the troops at the eleventh hour to help stave off this prob-

lematic proposal. It’s mid-December and the state legislature is expected to wrap-up and break for the holidays so it would take a real Christmas Miracle to grind these bills to a halt or at least postpone them for further review. All Michigan dog lovers are urged to make a last ditch effort to appeal to their Senators to oppose this bill. A full list of Senators and their contact information can be found online at: http://www.senate.michigan.gov/fysbyaddress. html.

Christmas is also a time for charitable giving and readers may want to consider giving to a local shelter for the hands-on care of animals and encourage others to do the same instead of giving to the Humane Society of the United States, which only gives one per cent of its donations to the hands-on care of animals. Some may want to consider giving the gift of an evening of NYC theatre at its finest, as well as dinner at a NYC landmark, while also helping Take The Lead help others in the process by purchasing tickets to the theatre dinner benefit. A ticket to the Tony winning musical, A Gentleman’s Guide To Love And Murder, a meal at the 21 Club, and an opportunity to help fund an organization that takes care of those who are dedicated to preserving and furthering the well-being of dogs all in one present?

Surely someone on your gift list would love that opportunity! See page 81 in this issue for more details.

One last gift-giving suggestion: a donation to Nowzad Dogs, an organization founded by British Royal Marine sergeant Pen Farthing that works to promote animal welfare in Afghanistan. While serving in Afghanistan in 2006, Farthing broke up a dogfight in Nowzad, a war-torn town overrun with dogs.

One of those dogs followed him back to his base, Farthing took him in and was left wondering, who rescued whom? Upon his return home, Farthing ran into difficulty trying to reunite with the dog he credits with preserving his sanity and a seed was planted.

He wasn’t the only one who had formed a bond with a dog while serving in Afghanistan, so he founded Nowzad Dogs, which helps reunite soldiers with the animals they befriended while serving. Since its inception in 2007, Nowzad Dogs has reunited nearly 700 soldiers from the U.S, UK, Canada, Italy, South Africa, Australia, Holland and Germany with the animals that adopted them in Afghanistan. In addition, the organization is tackling the problem of rabies in Afghanistan. Nowzad Dogs runs a shelter staffed by 14 Afghan Nationals, four of them trained veterinarians. They spay, neuter and vaccinate street dogs and cats, protecting citizens by reducing the number of rabid animals. Its mission statement is: To relieve the suffering of animals in Afghanistan; including companion animals, working equines, stray and abandoned dogs and cats and all other animals in need of care and attention, and to provide and maintain rescue, rehabilitation and education facilities for the care and treatment of such animals with no voice but ours.

For his efforts, Farthing was just named CNN’s Hero of the Year and Nowzad Dogs was the recipient of $125,000 for this recognition. To donate, log on to www.nowzad.com/donate.

Here’s hoping your Christmas Miracle comes true. Happy Holidays to all and best wishes for a Healthy and Winning New Year.

but not least, AKC Meet the Breeds.

Meet the Breeds is a standalone event in its own right, and yet, AKC includes a full-scale version of it as a part of this weekend in an effort to expose people attending the show to the variety of AKC-recognized breeds.

In the run up to AKC’s show weekend, there are shows put on by local clubs, obedience and rally trials, a day of specialty and group shows, judges’ institutes, a breeder seminar, and a show committee seminar. Oh and a few charity galas and dinners thrown in to give you something to do at night.

Tired yet?

Well, sorry, there’s more: the cherry on top of this cupcake is the inclusion of an AKC Board Meeting and Delegates’ Meeting.

Staff has the pleasure of kicking off their time in Orlando with a day-long Board Meeting followed by two days of Delegates’ Meetings.

So key senior staff cannot even turn their attention to the show activities until they get through those days of meetings that conclude on Friday afternoon. It’s a needless and wasteful imposition of governance activities during a time when the AKC staff’s singular focus should be on putting on the organization’s flagship event.

The Board could easily meet in November and finish up the budget it failed to pass in October and any other business for the balance of the year. Likewise, the delegate body could schedule its meeting in November or earlier in December, separate and apart from the show, or shift its meeting schedule altogether by eliminating one or more of the meetings they hold annually. Other sports’ governing bodies do not conduct their business meetings during their signature sporting events for the year. The Major League Baseball Winter Meetings, also known as “hot stove season,” are taking place right now, over a month after the conclusion of the baseball season-ending 64 Dog News

World Series. How compelling is the AKC business being considered by either the Board or the delegates that it could possibly necessitate staff time being taken away from its preeminent event of the year?

In the case of the AKC, the choice to hold a board meeting and a delegates’ meeting in the midst of the only dog show of the year hosted by the AKC is a perfect example of all that’s wrong with AKC’s archaic, burdensome, and self-absorbed governance scheme. If the AKC’s governing bodies can’t appreciate the necessity to get out of the way of the organization on this one weekend, when can they?

O

ver the course of the weekend, staff will not only have to go through the process of implementing the plan for hosting a complex, multifaceted event, they will also be challenged with dealing with the inevitable collateral incidents that arise out of an event of this size and scale: reuniting a lost child with his or her family, responding to a medical emergency, sending an owner with an injured dog off to the local vet, handling allegations of unsportsmanlike conduct, receiving a complaint of stolen property, breaking up an inappropriate romantic liaison under the bleachers. If you can contemplate something happening when a large number of people come together, trust me, it has likely happened at the AENC. Everyone on staff is obligated to pull double, and often, triple duty.

The field reps will have been on their feet working the four days of shows before the AKC’s event even starts.

Inspectors, Compliance staff, and in years past, even the General Counsel, work the security detail. And almost everyone runs the risk of being tasked to sit in on an event committee hearing if there’s a complaint.

Days are long and late, and meals are a cup of coffee in the morning and a beer at night in the bar before bed.

And then there are duties and responsibilities that fall on Michael Canalizo, Paula Spector, and Gina DiNardo. They wear every hat imaginable and attend to unimaginable details. They are the three hinges on the door that hold it up and allow it to swing freely. The three legs on the table that support it and keep it level. The three people without whose hard work, dedication, and passion, it is difficult to envision how this event would take place.

To obligate them, to obligate any of staff, to preparing for, attending, and participating in a Board Meeting and a Delegates’ Meeting during the week of the show, with all of its demands and expectations, is ridiculous. For those who wonder about the future of the show now that Mars owns Eukanuba, ponder this instead: what’s the future hold for an organization when its governing board and body can’t look beyond their own self-interests to act in the best interests of the organization and the sport?

The amazing thing about the AKC is that it always manages to succeed in spite of itself. I don’t know how much longer that will continue to be the case, but I expect that this year’s “Eukanuba” will be every bit as successful as those in the past. That success is attributable to a staff that is committed to overcoming all of the challenges and doing what’s right for dogs, the dog-loving public, and the sport.

So this weekend, as you are celebrating dogs, take time to contemplate all that went into making this event what it is. Consider the staff time and organizational resources necessary to host such an event and make it successful. And then thank a staff member that you see for all their hard work, for their commitment to the sport and to dogs, and their dedication to the organization.

And remind them of Paula’s sage advice: change your shoes multiple times a day.

“So this weekend, as you are celebrating dogs, take time to contemplate all that went into making this event what it is.”

THE IMPERIAL PEKINGESE The first Pekingese to be imported into England was in 1860 at the end of the war between China and the Western Allies, sometimes called the Arrow War. Towards its termination the Imperial Household was evacuated from Peking just as the allied troops approached the Forbidden City. In one of the many beautiful pavilions of the Summer Palace on the outskirts of the city of Peking five Pekingese had been left behind, allegedly the personal pets of an aunt of the Emperor who chose to stay behind and commit suicide before the foreigners rather than flee.

Of these five Pekingese found by the British in the Summer Palace two each were taken by Admiral of the Fleet, Lord John Hay and by Sir George Fitzroy, and one, the smallest, by General Dunne. The Pekingese seized by Dunne was a very small bitch that he named ‘Looty’ and when she arrived in England, Dunne presented her to Queen Victoria. ‘Looty’s’ portrait was painted by Frederick Keyl and exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1863.

Lord John Hay became one of the early pioneers in England who by the 1890s had at least seventeen Peking Spaniels (as he called them) with him at his residence, Fulmer Palace near Slough. The two brought over by Sir George Fitzroy, who was a cousin of the Duchess of Richmond and Gordon, helped found the famous ‘Goodwood’ strain, bred firstly by the Duchess and later by Lady Algernon Gordon Lennox.

The first Pekingese champion in England was bred by Lady Algernon Gordon Lennox, a dog named ‘Goodwood Lo’ that was born in 66 Dog News

1899. He was sired by a dog named Ah Cum that was allegedly smuggled out of the Imperial Palace in a hay box inside a crate containing some Japanese deer.

The Empress Dowager Tzu Hsi was a powerful and charismatic woman who effectively controlled the Chinese government for 47 years from 1861 to her death in 1908. She was an assiduous scholar, an accomplished artist and an enthusiastic breeder of Pekingese. She shunned the custom of stunting the growth of small dogs with mechanical devices and drugs so that they could be carried in the sleeves of the ladies of the court – hence the origin of the term Sleeve Dog. Instead she encouraged the breeding of small Pekingese by natural methods and selective breeding.

Sometime during her long reign, probably when she became Dowager Empress, Tzu Hsi drew up a decree with precision and clarity governing the breeding of the true Palace Pekingese. In effect she compiled the first standard for the Pekingese.

Tzu Hsi was well disposed towards Americans, and presented a number of her cherished Pekingese to visitors from this country. Most noted of these was Dr. Mary H. Cotton’s Chaou Ching Ur, which in 1908 became America’s first Pekingese champion bitch. The first champion was Mrs. Morris Mandy’s Tsang of Downshire which made his debut in the ring in 1905. He was closely related to a Goodwood dog imported into America from England. English stock was used almost entirely for the establishment of the breed in America.

The actual origins of the ‘Lion Dog of China’ are more or less lost in the mists of antiquity. His is a race acknowledged in the first place to be extremely old and in the second place one which was bred most meticulously for hundreds of years by the sovereigns of Imperial China. The Pekingese was enthroned as the Imperial dog with special attendants to minister their welfare and with statutes that inflicted fierce penalties on anyone who dare to steal or export dogs of the Imperial strain from the Palace precincts.

Although favoured courtiers or great officials probably possessed a few specimens, it was the Emperor alone who maintained large breeding establishments at his various palaces and ran them on the principle of keeping a good thing to himself.

The history of the Pekingese in China is a story primarily told by the skilled artists who have charted its progress from the Lion Dog symbolic of the sacred lion, representing Chinese faith, to the exquisite paintings and scrolls from the 17th century that brings one close to the original small type of dog bred in the Imperial Palace. It is Imperial paintings by Chinese artists from circa 1700 to 1900 that I have reproduced with this article.

the time they were most open for and in a way vulnerable, we could encourage them to get involved with any doggy activity on offer, be it showing or working. And so many times it paid off. Many people who purchased their first dog as a pet from us are still after all those years seriously involved as breeders and exhibitors.

And I think the system is still that if you want to show or get involved in any activity, be it showing, obedience, agility, etc., membership in the kennel club or an affiliated club is mandatory.

I think it is an excellent way of “dragging” newcomers into our sport without too much input and effort from the breeders. They then get the kennel club’s monthly magazine with all necessary information required to enter other activities, contact numbers, plus of course lots of written advice and guidance.

I think breed club membership should be available for anybody- and I think the sport as a whole would benefit.

I know the AKC has a different structure than any other kennel club in the world, but every time I see a PGA membership tag on a golf bag, belonging to another “hacking “ amateur, I wonder what the response would be if the AKC did a similar thing. As a PGA member you get a sticker, plus some assistance with handicap, etc., but if you ask any person the reason why they have this membership, the answer is simply, “To support the organization.” So maybe an AKC membership without any real privileges would take off???

When we first moved to the UK I realized that the KC was very important and kind of upgraded socially this in so many eyes “common” sport.

I have no number of how many “stiff upper lippers”, be it in the world of business, golf or simply on a social basis who when you mentioned the KC would tell you with pride that they had lunch there with Sir so and so…

An establishment on par with the so prestigious Jockey Club!!

Coming from a world where any dog related activity was considered a waste of time, this to me was an eye opener. And I would promote anything that gave this crazy hobby of mine more status and credibility-

BAbbling LOYALTY, SNOBBISM AND CLUB MEMBERSHIP?

Breed clubs in the UK are all, as far as I know, open for anyone to join. In some clubs the benefits are none, while in others you get a newsletter four times a year which at least tells you what’s going on and who to turn to if you want to get more actively involved. And on a personal note: London Cocker Spaniel Society’s Newsletter, which arrived in my postbox in Norway four times a year in the sixties, was a motivator beyond belief for a dog mad teenager. And a luxury I could afford with a 5-pound annual subscription…

The Kennel Club of course is very different. And by the Kennel Club I mean THE Kennel Club! I suppose you still need to be proposed and seconded etc., etc. - and in days gone by a KC membership was considered very exclusive.

68 Dog News

and when I became a member myself nearly 30 years ago- I was absolutely thrilled!

Hate to admit it, but when the KC discussed opening the doors and doubling it’s membership, I was very much against it. And so would many of my old, maybe snobbish friends no longer with us be, as the basic criteria for joining or even being considered for membership was relaxed considerably. By the “old” system and regimen, the only time there was an opening for a new candidate was whenever an existing member decided to die! And any potential candidate seriously scrutinized- and if the rumours were correct-preferably a Mason!

Any serious changes were, I don’t think, ever discussed!

Then of course many of these guys were also seriously against women joining the club. I don’t know for how many years The Ladies’ Branch of the KC existed, but when the women through the initiative and work of the inimitable Mrs. Florence Nagle all the Ladies Branch members were granted full membership privileges, so many conservative men believed the End of The World was nigh! Mrs. Nagle, (owner of the world famous Sulhamstead Irish Wolfhounds and Gordon Setters) one of the strongest

and most likely wealthiest women in the dog world, had already played her part in the Jockey Club accepting Ladies as Full Members.

That Ladies shall be treated like equals is of course just right, but to increase the number of members? I just wonder why that decision was made?

The KC with its status, Royal Connections, etc. is to me an important ingredient in the effort to give our sport just that: Status!

Sounding snobbish?

Well maybe. But what is the point of doubling the membership from (I think) 700 to 1400? Diluting the Exclusiveness of the Club built up during more than a century. What about Platinum, Gold and Silver memberships similar to the airlines?? There are still tens of thousands of breeders and exhibitors who would love to join given the chance.

So why not just modernize the entire system, let any respectable person pay and join? And for any member wanting to make use of the club’s facilities on a regular basis: Let them pay a little (or a lot) extra.

I think a look at how the Scandinavian countries’ Kennel Clubs make their money could give people in other countries food for thought.

OK, there are no luncheon nor bar facility involved there.

But never mention Democracy in any Canine organization! In each and every country there will be groups of people who take it upon themselves to rule the worldand just as in any democracy, the individual’s influence is basically NIL! Which means that an open membership in any Kennel Club does not mean loss of power by the people currently in charge…?

As I keep saying: The people who should run our little, exclusive world, are so busily involved with the practical side of the sport- thus making it an open playing field for less experienced and qualified people to move in.

But we only have ourselves to blame…

treatment, depending on the amount of tooth that is missing and the function of the dog. Whether to place a prosthetic crown over the treated tooth is decided case by case, taking into consideration the chewing habits of the dog and the likelihood of tooth fracture in the future.

How much water a day should a dog drink?

Your dog should get at least one ounce of water daily for each pound he weighs.

That means a 20 pound dog needs at least 20 ounces of water every day. There are 8 ounces in a cup, so that means 2.5 cups of water are the daily requirement for this size dog.

Puppies need ½ cup of water every 2 hours.

The type of food your dog eats affects his water intake.

Dogs fed dry food will need to drink more water than those eating canned food. Avoid ingredients that can increase your dog’s thirst such as sodium.

Your dog’s body will naturally lose water all day. He loses water as he sweats though his paw pads and when he pants.

He also loses water when he urinates and defecates. Warm weather and exercise mean more panting, which means an increase in water intake.

Some medications may cause changes in your dog’s thirst. Check with your vet to see if you need to increase or decrease your dog’s water consumption while taking a medication.

One of my dog’s testicles is larger than the other.

What could cause this?

Testicular cancer is one of the most common tumors in older intact male dogs and will cause the testicle to enlarge. There does not appear to be any breed predilection for these tumors and the cause is unknown. Dogs that have one or both testicles that are not descended (cryptorchid) are 13 times more likely to develop cancer in the retained testicle. Testicular tumors are usually one of three types: Sertoli cell tumors, seminomas, or interstitial cell tumors.

The Sertoli cell tumor will cause one testicle to be enlarged, sometimes 3 to 4 times the normal size, while the other testicle will be shriveled and decreased in size. Sertoli cell tumors can produce the hormone estrogen and cause feminization. This is a condition where a male dog takes on female qualities such as enlarged mammary glands and nipples, squatting to urinate, and the tendency to attract other male dogs.

Prolonged abnormally high levels of estrogen can lead to anemia (low red blood cell count), and low white blood cell and platelet counts.

Sertoli cell tumors may

metastasize (spread) to the lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain, but this is rare.

Seminomas will cause swelling of the testicle and groin area.

They rarely produce estrogen or metastasize.

Interstitial cell tumors show very few symptoms and are benign testicular tumors.

Treatment of testicular tumors involves surgical castration. The removal of the testicles is usually the only treatment needed, due to the low rate of metastasis.

Dogs that develop high estrogen levels from Sertoli cell tumors will often have a complete reversal of the feminine symptoms once the tumor is removed. Severe anemia may require blood transfusions. The prognosis for testicular tumors that have metastasized is more guarded. Chemotherapy can be considered in these cases.

Dogs with undescended testicles should always be neutered and both testicles should be removed. Since cryptorchidism is an inherited trait, these dogs should not be used in a breeding program. Neutering dogs that are no longer used for breeding can prevent the development of testicular cancer.

hen I called AKC yesterday (Monday, December 8th) to find out if any announcements were forthcoming regarding the televised portion of the AKC/National Championship the reply to me was “What’s The Rush?” And I guess in the sense that this is a taped affair and the producers for the program have already been hired that’s a reasonable answer from the corporation but one that quite candidly I cannot accept. It would seem that new stations keep entering the bidding field raising the ante for AKC to make even more money on the airing of the program--which from AKC’s standpoint is probably a good thing so long of course as one is talking real money and not increments of five or ten thousand dollars. According to my contact this AKC TV show is a “hot commodity” and many stations are bidding. If that’s the case and so much money is to be made from it by AKC one must wonder why Eukanuba dropped it last year and AKC was so adamant in agreeing with the decision and they both pushed so hard for streaming live instead of TV. Now it’s all reversed--streaming live will be at night and daytime streaming will be selectively used as far as I can understand and is barely ever mentioned at all! But that’s really not the issue insofar as the airing of the TV is concerned is it! It’s a matter or credibility with the constituency, which is the issue as far as I am concerned. AKC’s credibility with the Fancy, its real constituents, is at the lowest level I can remember. It may be true that the TV program is in demand but at some time negotiations must be finalized on the hottest of properties in which category I seriously doubt this program falls.

There is still no signed contract for the airing of the show as I write this on the Tuesday that the Orlando Cluster begins --only two days from the start of AKC activities on Friday! That is unfortunate as no one knows the date of the airing nor any details of the TV program (and for that matter of the live streaming either). Why can’t AKC at least let the Fancy know about what is planned

They are very intelligent and they learn quickly if you give them a reason to want to learn. I have had many people ask me why on earth I would want to train a hound to do obedience, rally and agility. Well, PBGVs are my breed so that’s the breed I’m going to train.

But, I also want to give others with PBGVs the courage to train these great little hounds in whatever activity they enjoy. This breed can do it all.”

“Tracking was a challenge for my dog Gypsy (UAXCH UOCH URC URX UCH Ch Goose Creek Let Me Entertain You UDX2 OM2 VER VCD2 AX AXJ RAE PCMH GO RL1 RLV NAC NGC SHH) because she was absolutely born to hunt,” said Minta (“Mike”) Williquette.

“Instead of following human scent, when she got in the field, she wanted to hunt. While she earned her TD at her first tracking test, it was a major disappointment that she didn’t get her TDX as we came so close several times.

I tried barn hunt with my young dog Glee (UCD RO1 UCH GCh Ch Suton Crepu Visage Collage de L’amour CDX GN BN RAE MH CGC), who is a master hunter. The first day was very successful and I thought this would be a snap but that was not the case. She had no trouble at all finding the rats but she wasn’t 84 Dog News

to please and they are quite athletic.

But, you may have some difficulty finding training classes that are well suited for PBGVs because they can be harder to motivate and they are less tolerant of repetition than other breeds. However, while foundation training may require more effort, PBGVs can be consistent, reliable workers. One of the ways I keep my dogs interested is that I rarely train for a specific sport more than once a week. Not only does this keep things more interesting for the dogs but it is less physically demanding on them. It’s important to do something other than conformation with this breed because a PBGV without biddability and a drive to work is not a good example of the breed and these traits cannot be evaluated in the show ring.”

According to Willmann, hunt tests have become very popular with PBGV people with most tests filling to capacity. “This was never more apparent than at our last national where the numbers for conformation and hunt tests were about the same. But, one of the biggest obstacles for people wanting to hunt with their PBGVs is the lack of a place to practice hunting and hunt tests close to where they live. At present, the PBGV Club of America only has hunt tests in Indiana, Wisconsin, New Jersey and North and South Carolina. Several owners have been able to work with local Beagle clubs to use their grounds for hunt tests and a few have even been able to join the Beagle clubs to get in some practice. In France, the breed’s country of origin, a PBGV must have a hunting title to become a champion so

interested because they didn’t run. So, I’m in the process of training her for what she needs to do in this sport, not just go purely on instinct. The same is true for lure coursing. She will chase the plastic bag for part of the course but then something in the field will attract her nose and she’ll be off hunting.

The hunting instinct is very strong in this breed and sometimes it gets in the way of other things you might be trying to do with them. I think the hunt test program is very important for this breed because they need an opportunity to excel at the job they were bred to do.”

“PBGVs need more to life than looking pretty in the show ring,” said Megan Esherick who owns Salsa (Ch Continued on page 88 MACH Clancy’s Bhut Jolokia VCD1 RAE MXS MJS NF T2B PCMHX CGC), Maya (GCh Gebeba Clancy Poetic Justice VCD1 RAE OA AXP AXJ AJP PCMHX CGC) and Chili (MACH3 Clancy’s Capsaicin Rush VCD2 RAE MXS2 MJG2 OF T2B PCMHX CGC,) “Show careers are short for the vast majority of dogs but there are a lot of other activities Maya (GCh Gebeba Clancy Poetic Justice VCD1 RAE OA available for dogs AXP AXJ AJP PCMHX CGC), another of Eshericki’s PGwhose show careers GVs, shows that it is to do something other than conforhave ended.

Continued FROM page 84

I think the French have done a good job of keeping the hunting instinct strong over the years. But, this strong instinct can make participating in other activities challenging. PBGVs live through their noses and they are constantly alert to what is going on around them. While this is a significant asset when they are hunting, it’s an obstacle when you need to have your hound’s undivided attention. So, for activities like obedience where the interaction with your hound and verbal encouragements are fewer, you have to do a lot of work to keep their noses off the ground and you have to learn to be more interesting to the dog than anything going on around them. When I start training my PBGVs for obedience, rally or agility, I do a lot of work on head up and no sniff commands when I’m close to the ring we’ll be working in. I pick my battles and let them sniff when away from the ring but when we get close to the ring or in it, it’s ‘head up’ and ‘no sniff.’ It makes it much easier to get them to pay attention to me when their mind is not on the wonderful smells around them. After all, I’m only asking them to not sniff and pay attention for 30 to 70 seconds in agility and a minute or two in rally.

Of course when you get to upper level obedience, this becomes harder as the time in the ring becomes much longer and there is less chance for verbal commands and praise to keep a hound’s attention. That said, it’s not impossible, as there are more than 30 PBGVs that 88 Dog News

have earned CDX titles and seven have a UD.” One possible reason for the rise in popularity of the PBGV Club’s hunt test program has been the change in policy by the American Kennel Club to recognize certain parent club titles with the PBGV Club of America being one of those clubs whose titles have been approved. In order to earn a hunt test title, a PBGV must go into cover, find a rabbit, give voice and chase the rabbit.

Like a real hunt with a PBGV, the tests are “chancy” because wild rabbits are the quarry and the judges and handlers have no idea where the rabbits may be at any point in a hunt. The tests are 60 minutes in length and normally the dogs run in packs of three to five dogs but for some titles the dogs must hunt alone as well as in a brace of two dogs. The dogs are also shot over with a blank pistol to test for gunshyness.

An issue of concern for PBGV people, according to Williquette, is that with most hounds and sporting breeds, the breeds have become divided into “show” and “field” types. “Many dogs in the ‘show’ lines are unable to do what the breed was intended to do and many dogs from ‘field’ lines are unrecognizable as the breed they are representing. We are trying to prevent this from happening with PBGVs. I am happy to say that we had a large entry in our hunt tests at the last national. I wish I could say the same for obedience and rally although agility had a nice entry this year.”

I always enjoy traveling to places I have never seen before. I was especially excited when I received an invitation to judge in Israel. Not only had I never been to Israel, but I had never been to this area of the world before.

for the TV airing even though the contract for the TV has not been signed? That would prove to be a transparency and good faith element with the constituents, which AKC seems not to understand.

We attended the last shows of the year in California this past weekend where the entries were nearly 1,700 dogs and I am told that in Washington State they were in the 2,000 area. The Orange County Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa is a decent but unexciting venue and the shows looked to be well run. Some of the judging I thought top notch some abysmal. We left Saturday night since we had to prepare for the week in Florida, as did many of the exhibitors who were doing the same thing.

I wish the Long Beach Kennel Club would reinstate its shows the last weekend of the show year even though it would mean going in competition with the AENC or else give up its winter date and/or permit some other club to use the venue in Long Beach on that date. Look at the Cleveland show with another good entry of close to 2,000 dogs on the same day of the AENC to say nothing of the clubs in Minnesota, which started I think this year with shows on the same weekend of AENC, too. Long Beach weekend was always the most festive show of the year and I believe it could easily give any show a run for the money. And the absolute reality of the situation is that AENC should not be held on the same weekend of shows with which it competes. The likelihood of AENC going back to Long Beach is remote and who really knows the fate of that show itself after the sale of Eukanuba to Mars. Certainly it will be held in 2015 but under what terms and conditions remains to be seen. The winners the two nights we were in Costa Mesa was the lovely Keeshonden I first saw at Sir Francis Drake and wrote about as being a real comer since I had never seen it before. Then on Saturday a Newfoundland, which I understand is not exhibited too often, was adjudicated the winner. He too looked to be a good specimen of his breed. Overall I still think that many Californians move their exhibits too quickly and lose the essence of the breed’s picture in so doing but that’s an observation I have made for years and which just continues on. As for new dogs I had never seen before two toy exhibits struck me as having tremendous potential--one was a Brussels Griffon, the other a Smooth Coated Chi. Did not get a chance to watch too much breed judging on Saturday as FedEx messed up its delivery to this site for the second year in a row. Having been stung badly last year I anticipated the problem and eventually had to go to the main FedEx office to pick up the boxes myself! If this keeps up with FedEx I really am considering eliminating Saturday delivery in the altogether.

S

omeone called to my attention a product being promoted on Entrepreneur Magazine called WUF, which turned out to be a dog oriented tracking collar that went far beyond just being a GPS for dogs.

Something akin to what I believe AKC is working on producing. These kinds of products, which are computer based, have been around for years and become more and more sophisticated as time goes by. I am not too sure about whether or not I would want these kinds of collars around my dogs neck 24/7 but I suppose there is a market for them although TKC introduced something similar at Crufts last year and I understand the sales have been anything but outstanding.

I believe AKC has spent considerable monies in developing its version, which is said to be way ahead of all other versions, so maybe when and if they finalize it and begin to sell it it will be the success those who believe in it are hoping for.

This is the last issue of 2014 for DOG NEWS as we begin our annual Christmas/New Year’s break. The first issue in 2015 will be January 9th and not the 2nd since our offices are closed from December 25, Christmas Day, and we reopen on January 5th. I see where there are three group shows in Palm Springs on New Year’s Day, which is unusual to say the least. These are back-to backs with the Friday shows there so I would have thought that if holding two shows was so important and necessary a thing to do why not have held them on the same day instead of New Year’s Day itself? Personally I would have held only one show but that’s me and I rarely am in agreement with those who want more and more shows to be held. In any event I trust you all will have a Happy Christmas and the healthiest of New Year and while we personally will be at a show or two on the weekend of the first you will not see a new DOG NEWS until January 9th. However, this issue will be at most shows starting with the weekend of January 2nd. Have a great 2015!!!!!!!!!!

ince 1987, Point Isabel Regional S Shoreline has been maintained by the East Bay Regional Park

District (EBRPD) as a mixed-use, open space area where responsible owners may allow their dogs to run off-leash. To view the area now, no one would guess it was a toxic superfund cleanup site where lead batteries were dumped back in the 1960s. Before EBRPD turned it into a park in 1975, some of the toxic materials were dug up and removed.

Those remaining were capped so they wouldn't leach into the soil or the bay as they degraded over time.

One Million Visitors Annually Although Point Isabel is not officially called a dog park, that’s what it is for all practical purposes.

“Of the one million visitors who frequent it each year, 90% are dog owners and their dogs,” says Mark Ragatz, EBRPD’s Chief of Park Operations.

While most parks are busy on weekends, Point Isabel is always busy even if it’s a Tuesday afternoon at 3 o'clock according to him. Of course, it’s even busier on Saturdays and Sundays.

“Of all of our parks, Point Isabel is the one that’s most consistently crowded with a large number of users at all hours of the day,” Ragatz says.

As such, the park has become a meeting place for a lot of people.

Visitors and their dogs often congregate at the “Sit & Stay” Café, which is located in the same building as “Mudpuppy’s Tub & Scrub,” a dog washing station and retail shop. Dogs are welcome at the café because it’s an outdoor concession stand with a patio.

Unlike some other dog parks, Point Isabel has relatively few rules and regulations to which owners and their dogs must adhere. (For a complete listing, see the sidebar below.) No identification cards are needed to gain entry nor must dogs be registered with the park district in advance. There are no fees to be paid annually. And there are no fenced in areas where dogs of different sizes must be enclosed.

Instead, all are free to roam off-leash once inside the park.

“We do ask that dogs be kept on-leash when they are taken out of 96 Dog News

cars in the parking lot,” Ragatz says.

“There’s a lot of traffic there. We don’t want dogs jumping out into the middle of it and getting hit.”

Activity in the park is supervised by park operations staff, which is on site most of each day. EBRPD police officers enforce an ordinance that states dogs must be on-leash or under the voice control of their owner when off-leash.

“Occasionally, we do have incidents where one dog attacks another or an owner gets bitten when trying to separate two dogs.

Our police force is called if the dog owners involved can’t work things out between themselves. When these incidents occur, we try not to over react to them. Most owners don't over react to them either. For the most part, the park is frequented by owners who are experienced with having their dogs off leash. Those whose dogs don't do well around other dogs don’t seem to frequent the park,” Ragatz says.

Point Isabel Dog Owners Group Social pressure from the Point Isabel Dog Owners (PIDO) & Friends group also helps keep things on an even keel in the park. PIDO is a nonprofit, all Continued on page 100

volunteer organization that works with the park district to maintain Point Isabel as an off-leash dog area by informing visitors of their responsibilities.

To encourage responsible ownership, PIDO holds an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluation annually.

The skills needed to pass the test help enable owners to control their dogs when they are off-leash.

PIDO also holds a variety of other events in the park. For example, Barktoberfest 2014 and the group’s annual Halloween parade and costume contest took place on October 25th.

“PIDO raises money each year and donates it to the park district, which uses it to help pay for waste pick up materials,” Ragatz says.

Not surprisingly, dog owners are required to clean up after their dogs inside the park. Waste stations with pick up bags are located throughout it. Garbage cans, where bags can be deposited, are located at 150-yard intervals.

PIDO works with the park district to remove invasive species as well.

“Some areas of the park have fox tails, which can cause serious problems for dogs.

Once a month, PIDO sends a work party to help park staff pull weeds,” Ragatz says.

(The barbed seed heads of the foxtail plant can work their way into a dog’s nose; between its toes; inside its ears, eyes and mouth; or any patch of skin. Once embedded, they can cause a serious infection that can result in death if not treated.)

Given all of PIDO’s contributions, making the park “work” is truly a community effort. That’s one of the main reasons why Point Isabel is able to operate with so few rules and regulations and why the park has so few problems with visitors and their dogs.

“Having the community’s whole hearted support really makes a tremendous difference,” Ragatz says.

On a nice day, the Hoffman Channel Trail at Point Isabel looks like a busy downtown street except most people are walking and talking with friends while their dogs are playing together off leash.

Helsinki Hits

Helsinki 2014 was built up by many world shows, and boy, the

By Vince Hogan PHOTOS BY HANUS

A

show with a WOW factor, a show to remember for all the right reasons, a show with top dogs winning through, a show with sparkle and charisma… and a show that makes it hard for other world shows to follow!

The show proved to be a three-day blast for everyone concerned, four days if you add in agility, obedience and heelwork to music, which all kicked off on Thursday when the finishing touches were being added in the main show area. It seemed to have something for everyone…

In fact writing this report just after the show it’s hard to know where to start… is it the perfect organisation, the great win for another Ricky… this time the Affie, the cheeky chappy from Indonesia, the virtual lack of any complaints from anyone…often a tell tale sign of how any show has performed, the way the show ran to time, the great line up for Finnish all rounder Hans Lehtinen to go over, the theatre of dreams in the main ring and the dramatic stage management; even 102 Dog News

the weather turned up…although it was almost too warm outside for most days.

This did not cause too many problems with dogs in hot cars as the Kennel Club people were on patrol and I only heard of one car window that had to be broken to prevent dogs overheating.

TOP WINNERS Certainly top winners won through starting with the shoot out for BIS with (in reverse order) the Wire Fox terrier owned by a partnership including Victor Malzoni, Jr. and the Belgian breeders, The Maltese

from Italy and then the Affenpinscher from Indonesia; all top winners and all with great pedigree behind them in every sense of the word! Many American visitors and handlers popped up, some of them with dogs, some of them just over for the weekend seeing what all the fuss was about!

And did they enjoy it all? Absolutely… rarely did I hear the words (you sometimes do) “it’s not like Crufts”. It’s a different show to Crufts and you have to go with the flow. Think Westminster show, but with 90 rings packed into some pretty big halls

The Heights! people to be THE world show of Finns didn’t let us down! plus plenty of trade stands, obedience, agility, a live band in the stunning main ring, etc.!

This show had impressive numbers as well. Here are some of the wider stats: – Over 21,200 dogs – On Friday 6,557 dogs, Saturday 8,151 dogs, Sunday 6,532 dogs – 360 different breeds, entries from 60 countries – 1,620 breeder’s groups And 124 judges from 35 countries to sort them all out!

Finland obviously provided the bulk of the entries with nearly 11,000 including 526 Finnish Lapphund. I didn’t even know that there were 526 Lapphund! I think they had a special deal on the entry, but even so, that’s one big number.

Russia sent over 4,000 dogs to the show despite recent worries about the world political situation; no Russian winners in the groups, which was perhaps unusual as they have dominated

at some large shows recently.

Russia continues to be a talking point in some circles; the recent legislation concerning gay rights, the political situation developing in Europe; all of this with the World Dog Show due to take place there in two years time.

Mind you, the European Dog Show is due to take place in Kiev, in the Ukraine in 2017, so it seems like dog folk will need to keep their eye on what is happening in those countries as the clock ticks on.

THE FINNISH Kennel Club This was of course the 125th anniversary of the Finnish Kennel Club and the organisers were clearly determined to make sure it was a memorable occasion.

In fact most people we met and talked to on the busy OUR DOGS/ DOG NEWS booth were all buzzing, enjoying the atmosphere and meeting dog people from all over the world. Helsinki seemed to be teeming with dog folk; what great business that is for the city. Thankfully we were based in the hotel right on the showground, Continued on page 133

a memorable experience it became.

Being on the road for over two full weeks prior to leaving for Tel Aviv, I did not have time to investigate much of the details. As with most foreign assignments I always feel it is like going on a mystery adventure, unless one has been to the same place before. When I accepted the assignment I just presumed I would be judging for two days. One of the other judges presumed the same as I did. Luckily for me United, out of Newark, offers two direct flights per day to Tel Aviv. I chose the 10:50 PM flight leaving on Wednesday.

This gave me close to twenty-four hours after returning from Hong Kong before I would have to leave again. Having slept the whole way from Hong Kong enabled me to only sleep for a couple of hours Tuesday night. Getting up around 3 AM gave me a chance to get so much accomplished Wednesday before leaving for the airport. Laundry, paying bills, judging correspondence, booking tickets and having one’s hair cut piles up so quickly. Leaving at 10:50 PM made for falling asleep very quickly and being able to sleep for at least eight of the tenhour flight.

I arrived around 3

PM in Ben Gurion airport and a taxi driver was waiting for me with a very large sign displaying my name.

A brief cigarette and we were on the way to the city. The traffic to the city was extremely light and I arrived at the Melody Hotel in about 30 minutes. Immediately I realized this boutique hotel would be a pleasure to reside in for the next few days.

Several other judges from Europe also arrived Thursday, but not until very late in the evening or even well after midnight.

Upon checking in I was given a message that Yolanda Nagler would be picking me up for dinner at 7:30.

Wanting to be on time, I entered the lobby around 7:20 only to find Yolanda already there enjoying some wonderful chocolates supplied by the hotel. A very attractive, Regina Balstad from Spain, was joining us for dinner. Regina is a great Bichon fancier and came to visit the show and help

some of the new Bichon fanciers in Israel with their grooming.

Within a very short drive we arrived at a very beautiful boutique hotel with a superb restaurant.

The setting had great European charm and by just looking at the menu I realized it would be a culinary delight. Very quickly Regina and I realized we had so many mutual Bichon friends on both sides of the Pond. The Israeli wine, superb cuisine and great company made my first night in Tel Aviv a place ZI knew I would enjoy so much for the coming days.

With several judges arriving around midnight or later and Yolanda having a very long day, it was planned we all would meet around 10:30 on Friday to start the day.

I was up early and enjoyed the wonderful roof top view of the beautiful ocean.

It reminded me a lot of Waikiki beach. The hotel breakfast was unique and so enjoy-

able with so many delights I had never sampled before. The weather was picture perfect so we knew it would be a great day for outside touring. After a long time of renewing acquaintances, we were on our way to Caesarea National Park.

Caesarea is about a one hour drive north of Tel Aviv so we got to see some of the countryside. It is a very famous port and the history is so fascinating. It dates back to 586 B.C. when it was ruled by the Persian Empire. After the Persians it was then the Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Crusader, Mameluke and the Ottoman period from 1561-1917. The historical and archaeological findings are amazing. One has to remember that I once was believed the world was flat and this was the center of the world. That is why so many empires fought to control this part of the globe.

Since it is on the Mediterranean coast it enjoys great weather year round. Caesarea offers so much for tourists. It has great hotels, beaches and golf courses and wonderful museums and shops. Before our tour began, we enjoyed a wonderful outdoor lunch right on the beach. After watching two movies on the historical background we began viewing the great artifacts surrounding us.

the park are some very beautiful residential areas. The homes are extremely beautiful on a picturesque setting.

I imagine many of the residents commute to Tel Aviv for business. Jerusalem is the largest city in Israel, but Tel Aviv is the second largest.

The look of Tel Aviv is very European.

Back at our hotel the rest of the judges had arrived at dinner which was scheduled for 8 PM. Most of us gathered in the lobby earlier to enjoy the very nice happy hours offered by the hotel. We were wined and dined at a large restaurant near the ocean that was a large tourist area. Igor Vyguzov, a very charming young judge from Moscow, met us at the restaurant since his flight was running five hours late. George Schogol from Georgia did not arrive until around midnight.

George was a last minute replacement for the lovely Monique van

Brempt, who had injured her back.

Since the show was in Arad, a good two-hour drive from Tel Aviv, only a few of the committee attended the dinner. Like everywhere dog people like to talk, eat and drink, so it was rather late when returning to the hotel.

Judging would start at 9 AM and with a good two-hour drive we would be leaving the hotel at 6:45 AM. Saturday by 6 AM the judges; Stefan Sinko, Igor Vyguzov, Freddy Christensen, George Schogol, Yolanda and I gathered with Regina for a lovely breakfast.

A small mini bus picked us up at 6:45 AM to transport us to the city of Arad, which is close to the Dead Sea. It was fascinating to see the landscape. There were large amounts of land occupied by the Bedouins. They live off of the land with their sheep and camels in housing that are shacks, but drive expensive

cars. There is a rare combination of the old and modern world. Out of a very sparse countryside the city of Arad appeared magically before our eyes.

Huge hotels, shopping centers, restaurants were right in the middle of the desert. Right at the edge of the city was the venue. It was a covered, open sided, venue with a blacktop floor covered with carpeting for the rings.

All of the rings and grooming were covered by tenting.

Joining us at the show was Yossi Guy, who was also judging. Later in the day, Yossi would also do the announcing and photography. A native, he also covers a great many of the foreign shows for Dog News. Upon my arrival at the hotel a detailed schedule was given to me. I knew I had 100 dogs and would start at 9 AM and there was also a breakdown of the time throughout the assignment.

Surprisingly we

started pretty much on time, which can be the exception in foreign lands. Since so few Americans judge in Israel and not having seen much coverage of their shows, I really did not know what the quality of the dogs would be. I did learn the Kennel Club has been in existence for over 50 years.

The first breed of the day for me was 16 Cairn Terriers. When the first class walked in, I was surprised by the top quality.

There was not one Cairn shown that would not make its championship very quickly in the US. The overall quality far exceeded what you would see at most shows in the States. They were all of a consistent style with beautiful balance and proportions. It quickly became obvious that they came from Scandinavian stock.

I found out later that the legendary “Hjohoo” kennel of Elizabeth Theodorsson of Sweden was

behind many of the dogs. My eventual BOB was a nine year-old Veteran dog. It turned out he is a brother to a dog Gabe Rangel won the breed with at the AKC/ Eukanuba show several years ago.

This dog could have been very competitive at our recent National at Montgomery County. As a matter of fact, he is very similar to the dog that was BOW at Montgomery that was also bred by Elizabeth Theodorsson. I am sure they are closely bred on the mother’s side.

I had several decisions to make in Cairns that could have gone either way. Because of the wonderful depth of quality it made for a challenging assignment. Each dog got an individual critique and these critiques were full of positive statements.

It was a wonderful way to start the day on such a positive experience.

The next breed was 9 Scotties and here also was a lot of Continued on page 108

106 Dog News

Dog News 107

The AraD SHOW ISRAEL Continued FROM page 106

quality. A team of Scotties later in the day won the Breeder’s Class under me. This breeder was very consistent with the very correct type of dogs they are breeding.

There were only 4 Kerry Blues, but the BOB winner was full of quality. He was full of virtues. There were 9 Westies and they were on a par with the average entry in the States.

As most people who know me realize, I have a great passion for Bull Terriers. Sorry to say, because of government laws, they are not allowed to be shown in Israel.

This is also true for American Staffordshire Terriers. I was pleased to have an entry of 5 Mini Bulls.

The overall quality was good, but the BOB winner could win anywhere in the world today. He is a dog full of virtues and hopefully, will be incorporated into a lot of breeding programs. I had 18 Poodles and mostly Miniatures.

They were very similar to the dogs we

see in the States. It has become a very international problem in the breed that we are seeing far too many flat feet and extremely gay tails. The Gundogs are not popular in Israel, but I did have an entry of 10 Vizsla.

I did not judge, but saw, a very handsome yellow Labrador and Flat-Coated Retriever in the Retriever group.

When it came time for me to judge the Terrier group, I was sorry that in Israel they only have three placements.

Besides the three dogs I placed, there were several other very fine examples of their breeds. I could not deny the Cairn for first place.

His showmanship and extraordinary side movement stole the show. Second went to the wonderful Mini Bull and third to the Kerry Blue.

Stefan Sinko, who is considered one of the leading judges in all of FCI, judged BIS. All of the judges sent a very nice lineup of dogs to Stefan.

The BIS winner was a Long Coated Chihuahua that had come to the show from Rome, Italy.

Igor had sent him forward from a very strong Toy Group.

This little Long Coat is owned by Marco Tomei. They make a wonderful team in that both are such full of life and great charisma. I was very privileged to be able to spend some time with Marco after the show. It has to be noted that Chihuahuas have become so strong everywhere around the globe today.

We just saw the Smooth Coat “Sonnito” hailing from Mexico, become the top Chihuahua ever in the US. He acquired 27 BIS in just eight months of showing in the US. Chihuahua breeders throughout the world have to be congratulated on the depth of quality being produced worldwide.

Second BIS went to a beautiful young Bulldog bitch. This win had to be especially meaningful coming

from a leading authority of the breed.

This beautiful headed, correctly made bitch could be very competitive in the US. Bulldogs must be strong in Israel because a stunning puppy was also Best Baby in show. I also got to see a young male Bulldog that was full of virtues.

Third BIS was the wonderful Cairn. Besides the three dogs that placed in the Best lineup, there were several other top quality dogs.

From ringside there was a yellow male Labrador that was of top quality. My only regret was that it was not a two-day show. In that way I would have gotten to judge a lot more breeds. I did get to see a young Frenchie bitch that impressed me greatly and would have been very competitive at the National in the US several weeks ago.

Some of the breeds with larger entries were: 33 German Shepherds, 11 Long Coated Shepherds, 26 Alaskan Malamutes, 27 Pomeranians, 21 Rough Collies, 25 Beagles, 22 Australian Shepherds and 17 American Akitas.

Around 7:30 PM all the pictures were finished and we gathered back on the Mini Bus for our two-hour ride back to Tel Aviv.

When we were about thirty minutes within Tel Aviv we

stopped at a fabulous seafood restaurant. Although it was now about 16 hours since we had started the day, everyone was still full of enthusiasm. The great company, fine wine, super food and lovely setting in a private dining room made for a very festive evening. Knowing we did not have to get up at the crack of dawn we were in no rush to end the wonderful evening we were all enjoying so much. Regina had to leave the hotel at 1:45 AM for the airport. Shortly after she departed the hotel, I returned to my room and was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Sunday morning too was a treat not to have to be up terribly early. After a long leisurely breakfast we all headed to Masada National Park and the Dead Sea. Masada is a place that has to be witnessed in person to fully appreciate. It was the last bastion of Jewish freedom fighters against the Romans.

Its fall signaled the violent destruction of the kingdom of Judea at the end of the Second Temple period. The tragic events of the last days of the rebels at Masada transformed it into both a Jewish cultural icon and a symbol of humanity’s continuous struggle for Continued on page 110

freedom from oppression.

Masada was built by Herod, King of Judea. It was a palatial fortress in the style of the ancient Roman East. The camps, fortifications and assault ramp at its base constitute the most complete surviving ancient Roman siege system in the world.

Masada is on the top of a very high mountain and is gotten to by cable cars. But it was interesting to see so many people that were climbing to the top. The plateau is 250 meters above the level of the Dead Sea. It has to be one of the most fascinating places in the world today. We did not swim in the Dead Sea, but rolled up our pants and waded in the extremely salty water. Several filled bottles with water from the Sea to take home as souvenirs. Masada and the Dead Sea are very far from any city, but have many very large hotels.

Many tourists from

110 Dog News

throughout the world go to bathe in the Dead Sea, which has many healing properties.

After a long day of exploring Masada and the Dead Sea, I only wished we could have spent more time exploring the surrounding areas.

We were blessed by having a perfect ending to the fabulous day. It was a great treat that we were able to have dinner again where we dined the previous evening. This was the last night I would spend with all of the other judges. All of the judges, except Freddy and me, were departing for home on Monday.

Having thought I would be judging Saturday and Sunday, I booked my ticket to depart on Tuesday. This was a very lucky mistake on my part. Monday was one of the most fascinating days in all of my life.

At 7:30 AM a small mini bus picked me up to take me on a tour of Jerusalem. The

city not only is the center of the world, but all of historical important facts revolve around this city before and after Christ. After touring the city by mini bus and walking it for hours, the Holocaust Museum was the last stop.

The feelings cannot be explained that this beautiful museum brings to one’s thoughts. It makes me realize how after thousands of years of battle and great tragedies that Hitler could have ever committed such an enormous, unforgettable battle against humanity. We have to remember this was less than a century ago.

Around 7 PM the tour guide returned me to my hotel. I retreated to the hotel lobby, which was full of happy hour guests.

I poured myself some wonderful wine and went out to the patio and reflected on one of

the most fascinating days I had ever spent. Seeing Jerusalem first hand is so much more meaningful that years of learning about it from history lessons in school could ever be.

I felt embarrassed that Yolanda, after a very long and tiring week, came at 8 PM to take me to dinner.

It was another fabulous dinner. Most of all, it was such a pleasure just to be able to sit and relax with her after all the hectic times were over. Yolanda put in so much energy and countless hours to make the entire weekend so enjoyable for so many people.

Tuesday morning around 9:15 AM the very nice taxi driver the club uses came to take Freddy and me to the airport. This driver was kind enough to help me through the different steps of security. Relaxing on the plane, I kept thinking no-

body will fully comprehend exactly how fascinating the time I spent in Israel really was. Yes, everybody told me how much I would enjoy it, but it was so much more interesting than I could ever have imagined. I know some Americans worry about going to Israel because of the fighting with their neighbors.

There was never one moment that I did not feel totally secure the full five days I was there. I only once saw one policewoman the whole time I was there and that was because of a traffic accident.

I have to thank the show committee, especially Yolanda, the exhibitors, fellow judges and the beautiful country of Israel for five days I will never forget. It made me realize why so many of the past Empires fought for control of this mecca of the world.

ere we are at the last weekend of dog shows for 2014. This year seems to have gone by quickly. Most exhibitors are in Orlando for the AKC/EUKANUBA dog show while others are attending shows in Ohio, Minnesota and Pennsylvania. Some attendees in Florida were hit with the Hyatt Riot. It seems the hotel over booked rooms and moved guests to other area hotels. Pity the poor hotel representative who had to telephone those guests. Some guests were reimbursed with cash, while others are having their new accommodations comped. Some changes this year, it’s most unique feature, the International Competition, was abruptly moved to Amsterdam (the competition takes place this weekend) without any warning to the American Kennel Club.

Streaming will be limited and as of this writing there is still no word on who or where the television coverage will take place. Add to that the popular after show party, looked forward to by many, has been cancelled. Congratulations to DICK MEEN and JOHN REEVENEWSON, who were married last weekend, capping off a forty plus years relationship. All of us at DOG NEWS send our best wishes to LESLEY BOYES, who is still hospitalized but making great progress.

CORRECTION In the November 28, 2014 issue, Gretchen Bernardi’s response to the Question of The Week did not print in its entirety. Reprinted below is the question, with Gretchen’s full reply.

With over 65% of the Delegates female why do you think there is only one female member on the board today with no prospect of adding more women in the immediate future since not one single female Delegate has chosen to run for any of the three seats opening in the coming March election?

Gretchen Bernardi

I am not a big believer in looking at any candidate through the lens of gender, or race, or sexual preference or any other standard, except for that person’s qualifications and his or her ability to serve. To me, the real question here is why so few people, men or women, choose to run for the AKC board. If you look at the list of people who have put their names forward in the last ten years, it is a very short list compared with the well over 500 delegates now serving.

Having chaired a nominating committee, I know first-hand how hard it is to persuade people to even put their names into consideration.

I have no real evidence to support this claim, but I personally feel that even the most qualified and dedicated delegates, those who would be the best candidates, men and women, are generally people who like to get things done and are used to seeing results. They are not interested in simply going to meetings.

HOW TO KEEP UK’S 9 MILLION DOGS SAFE AT CHRISTMAS he UK’s largest organisation dedicated to the health and welfare of dogs, the Kennel Club, is alerting dog owners to the dangers posed to man’s best friend over the festive period and is urging dog lovers across the UK to keep their much loved pets safe.

Throughout the Christmas period lots of items are brought into the home which may be of great interest to a dog, from unusual plants and trees, to Christmas foods, decorations and presents. Whilst many are perfectly harmless, some can prove harmful or even fatal to dogs.

With an estimated 25% of households owning a dog, the Kennel Club has compiled a list to guide dog owners in what to be careful of over Christmas, which includes:

T

“WELL, IT IS CHRISTMAS…”

Food: A number of foodstuffs can be harmful to dogs and these can cause a number of different clinical effects, ranging from vomiting and diarrhoea, to more severe effects such as seizures or kidney failure, depending on what is eaten. Foods that should be completely avoided include chocolate, raisins, grapes, currants, sultanas, Christmas cake, Christmas pudding, fruit cake, mince pies, stollen, macadamia nuts, blue cheese and allium species including onions, garlic, leeks, shallots and chives.

Mouldy foods, very rich, fatty foods and alcohol can also harm dogs so should be avoided. Turkey, goose and chicken bones can easily splinter, particularly when cooked, and can cause obstruction and gut irritation and can penetrate the stomach or intestinal wall.

Plants: Certain plants that are brought into the house more commonly at Christmas can poison a dog or obstruct their airways if consumed. Plants that can cause drooling and varying degrees of stomach upset if eaten by a dog include poinsettia, holly, mistletoe and ivy. Eating potpourri can also result in a tummy upset, but may cause other more serious effects depending on which dried plants have been used.

Most species of Christmas tree are relatively low-toxic but oils from the needles can irritate the mouth and stomach or can cause an obstruction.

Presents: Christmas presents are often just as intriguing and exciting for dogs as they are for humans, and can present a number of health concerns.

Electronic gifts and toys often contain batteries, which if chewed and punctured by a dog can cause chemical burns or may obstruct the airways.

Other items which may

obstruct a dog’s airways include small toys or gifts with small parts, wrapping paper or crepe paper, Christmas decorations, including baubles and tinsel hanging from the Christmas tree and plastic materials used for wrapping presents. Signs of airways obstruction can include vomiting, lethargy, a lack of interest in food, not defecating or finding it difficult to defecate.

Antifreeze: Care should be taken when using antifreeze products, which contain the chemical ethylene glycol, which can be lethal when ingested by dogs. The sweet taste of antifreeze makes it tempting for dogs, so products should be stored in secure containers away from pets. If using antifreeze, make sure that your pets are kept well away and if any is spilt ensure that it is cleaned up.

Nick Sutton, Kennel Club Health Information Officer and former veterinary toxicologist, said: “There is no reason dogs can’t enjoy Christmas with their families just as much as their owners do, however we would thoroughly recommend being cautious and keeping anything that may pose a risk to your beloved family pet in a safe place and out of sight and smell of your dog.

“Many dogs die or become very ill every Christmas from eating things they shouldn’t and this is mostly avoidable. An emergency trip to the vets on, or around, Christmas day is the last thing you or your dog want. Christmas for many people is an exciting and busy time, but to avoid your dog becoming unwell, try to remember that many items associated with Christmas can be very tempting but harmful for a dog, particularly if left unattended. If you believe your dog has eaten anything it shouldn’t have, seek veterinary advice immediately and let the vet know what your dog has eaten, when it ate it and how much was consumed.

Never try and make your dog sick if it eats something it shouldn’t have, as this can make things worse.

“It is a good idea to get a couple of new toys for dogs to play with during the Christmas period and to give them a good deal of exercise outside to keep them occupied and away from things that may cause them harm.

THE WÜF COLLAR A KICKSTARTER SELECTION he idea for WÜF originated when founder Sean Kelly lost his family dog, Roxie, after she ran off to chase a squirrel and was fatally struck by a car. He realized that the technology to prevent this tragedy existed but was not being applied to dogs which was crazy given the fact that dogs are core members of the family. So, he set out on his mission to keep dogs safer, healthier and happier, but then realized something else needed addressing.

Sean realized that dog owners would value from a collar that helped them be better dog parents and a tool that relieved some of their anxiety as dog owners. WÜF can especially help those new dog owners to transition the dog into the home and help continue the training practices after working with a professional trainer. This is where WÜF’s unique feature set expanded and surpassed the activity trackers and GPS devices already on the market. Sure, WÜF has those too but it uses that information to provide you training and behavior modification tools. So for example, when your dog keeps jumping up, WÜF recognizes this and instantly alerts you via the app and provides a corrective response recommendation.

It also provides rewards to dog parents who reach behavior and activity goals to encourage consistent progression. For this reason, WÜF is not just a monitoring device but an interactive learning system helping your dog be a Good Dog. Every Day. The WÜF feature that really blows the other devices out of the water is the two-way audio. This tool really changes the connected canine game because not only can you speak to your dog, but you can hear your dog while you’re away. Does your dog bark ALL day while you are at work? Or just at certain times? This information gives you the information to correct the situation AND speak back to them while you are away. Maybe your dog ran off a bit too far on a hike and you’d like to call them to come back, now you can through your app.

WÜF is a device comprised of a face and brains in three different sizes to fit all pooches.

WÜF also has a much longer battery life than the competition and can be charged with wireless devices. You can get a WÜF on our Kickstarter for as little as $99 and that comes with a $10 prepaid cellular plan. The basic subscription for WÜF is free and if you use the GPS only when your dog runs off every now and again, you should never or rarely need to add more credit, but it remains an option if you want to keep an eye on them as they run about your 100-acre farm, for example.

WÜF was made by tech savvy dog lovers and owners who are determined to make dog parents’ lives easier, and dogs safer, healthier and happier.

WÜF was a staff selection for Kickstarter. Please check out their Kickstarter or contact them at hello@getwuf.com.

similar to the Pennsylvania in New York for the Garden, but even closer!….down one floor in the lift and 100 paces past the restaurant in the hotel and we were in the press room and at the front of the show. A little further on, to the show rings, the main ring, the lovely pop up museum made by the Finnish Kennel Club …it was all there to hand.

This event has been in the planning for a number of years and we have seen the popular and happy group from the FKC at a number of shows including the WORLD DOG SHOW Budapest, EDS Geneva, and Crufts this year. They crossed all the T’s and dotted the I’s. Certainly we have to send huge thanks and congratulations to the team that did such a great job, Markku the CEO, Kari the Show Chairman, Kaija the Press officer, Päivi the information officer, Riitta who is now vice CEO and of course Sampo the logistics man, who received a standing ovation at the official dinner, but was not there to hear it! And to all the staff who to a man were pleasant, knowledgeable and always ready to help.

Is this all too much? Add in the superb press facilities, three great press conferences each morning giving us details on every aspect. The first day, both Markku Mahonen and Kari Järvinen welcomed all the press in a busy press meeting. The Kennel Club also signed a three-year sponsorship deal with the Royal Canin Company, always good to get such arrangements finalised.

We had a book launch on the Finnish Spitz from breed specialist Angela Cavill, health surveys, we met the designer of the black and gold logo that is now so familiar, we had Hans Lehtinen giving us an emotional insight into his judging career from when only 100 dogs were at the first shows!

There were a number of other meetings going on in the background.

The FCI launched a youth group and a new web site. On the youth group, Rafael de Santiago said, “As President of the FCI, and as someone slightly older, I am calling the next generation of young lovers around the World to raise the bar, to unite for the well-being of dogs, for the future of our sport and to celebrate the incredible bond between dogs and humans.”

Some of the younger members of the international dog show scene were there such as Caterina Molinari, daughter of Carla from Portugal, and Miguel Gil from Puerto Rico, who works with Rafael de Santiago. The vice president of the

Helsinki

FCI Gerard Jipping has responsibility for this group, which will start to spread its wings soon I am sure!

The Italian Kennel Club ENCI held a press meeting to tell us more about the WORLD DOG SHOW in Milan next year. We learned that there is a World Expo being staged at the same time in the same venue…which may have a positive or a negative effect. SO BOOK YOUR HOTEL NOW! You heard it here first! ENCI promise us a show with passion! The team gave an interesting press conference and took on board many of the comments from the press people. Having seen the WORLD DOG SHOW first hand in Helsinki, they now have a big challenge to meet for Milan 2015.

We are all excited already! Ciao Italia!

On Saturday evening we had the official dinner; Friday had seen us all down at the City Hall where the Mayor welcomed all the judges and VIPs. So the main speeches and presentations for this show took place in the show hotel on Saturday night. These included a presentation to Kari Järvinen of a specially commissioned painting of himself and his dogs.

PHEW! So if all that was not enough to take in, there were the dogs and in many rings….90 in fact as mentioned earlier!

Plenty of breed judging to watch and many wins, too many for this report, which is really an overview of what happened.

One of the features of the rings and the results was that we had results beamed in from each ring via iPads, which had colour coded buttons for 1-4th placings that then updates the results on line instantly.

Will that catch on elsewhere?

The FKC held a meeting giving the background on how it was all done. Certainly this impressed all the judges from the feedback I got at the show and I heard no complaints about the standard of the ring stewards, something that does crop up occasionally.

Talking of feedback, the social networks have been awash with great comments on the show…so I know it is not just me who was impressed by the flying Finns!

THE ICING ON THE CAKE! So to the finals, hosted each day by Finnish celebrity model Leena Saavi-Hannikainen; she is someone who has been associated with these major events held by the FKC for 20 years. Her hard work and dedication was recognised by the Kennel Club in the main ring.

Working with the stage manager Thommi (as they do at other events) they had put together lights, sounds, action, videos, a live band. We had the FCI flag handover to Milan and a video of the city, we had a video of Hans Lehtinen in Helsinki (all a la Eurovision Song Contest) buying roses in the town, and then being driven to the showground to be met by Kari Järvinen; Hassi then appeared through the giant screen with Kari Järvinen with the bunch of roses….which were eventually handed out to each handler of the ten groups.

Hassi put them all through their paces…and we then had a reverse order placing interspersed with fabulous dress changes for Leena matching the lighting, a lady in a cake with wheels (yep) and a great top line up as you will see in all the photos.

There …you have a quick overview that has just touched on some of the many things that happened at the fabulous, well organised, eventful, memorable and Happy Helsinki WORLD DOG SHOW. I don’t think the Editor would allow me much more space to go on any more, but we all had a great time and it was over far too quickly!

Is anyone else suffering from withdrawal symptoms already?
