This article was inspired by DCA members who have asked for an explanation of the meaning of “all of those letters” after my dogs’ names. So, my original purpose was to articulate, in words rather than in letters, what all of those titles stand for. In this way, the measure of the dogs’ accomplishments can be realized and appreciated. I felt that the best way to showcase those titles was to showcase some of the dogs in our lives who ultimately became our closest companions.

The venue was spacious, convenient and the hotel staff was very accommodating. Events included agility, obedience, rally, two Golden Gate Dachshund Club conformation shows on Tuesday and Wednesday and the DCA sweepstakes and DCA specialty on Thursday through Saturday. Dachshund fanciers from around the globe gathered for a week of camaraderie, competition, entertainment and education. Many had traveled half way around the world and many more had driven thousands of miles across North America to attend.

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR VETERINARY CANCER PATIENTS Jaime F. Modiano, VMD PhD, Perlman Professor of Oncology/Comparative Medicine Leslie C. Sharkey, DVM PhD, Associate Professor of Clinical Pathology/Comparative Medicine; Department of Veterinary Clinical Sciences, College of Veterinary Medicine, U of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN Introduction: Increasingly, people who own ill pets are faced with decisions regarding the performance of tests to achieve a definitive diagnosis.

Increasing sophistication in veterinary medicine, coupled with high owner expectations often means more testing, greater expense, and occasionally, potentially higher risks when the tests require invasive procedures. Moreover, there are explicit or implicit promises for some tests advertised through the Internet and in

social media, which might not stand up to careful scientific scrutiny. This has led to considerable confusion regarding when, if, and what tests are appropriate or recommended for use to diagnose cancer in companion animals or whether any of these tests can be used to detect cancer in the early stages or predict if a healthy dog will develop cancer. This article is intended to provide pet owners with some basic understanding of the diagnostic process – why and when testing is necessary, what are some the benefits and what are some the pitfalls. It also is meant to encourage communication with primary care veterinarians and specialists in order to maximize the potential of a team approach to health care.

Definitions: Cancer The National Cancer Institute defines cancer as “a disease in which abnormal cells divide without control and are able to invade other tissues.” Cancer cells can spread to other parts of the body through the blood and lymph systems. Cancer is not just one disease; there

are more than 100 different types of cancer and the main thing they have in common is uncontrolled proliferation.

The same definition applies to cancer in domestic animals. Cancer is a common ailment in our pets today: it is estimated that approximately 1 in 3 dogs will develop cancer in their lifetime.

Besides the physical burden on the dog’s health, this diagnosis carries an immense psychological burden on his or her human family. The best weapon against these physical and psychological ravages of cancer is information.

Diagnostic testing A diagnostic test is “a medical test performed to aid in the diagnosis or detection of disease.”

Diagnostic tests include routine components of the physical exam, as well as more sophisticated assays that require further training to interpret and possibly specialized equipment to perform. Clinical laboratory testing is a large field onto itself.

The diagnostic utility of any test is highly dependent on the presence of robust quality control and quality assurance practices in the

Disclosures: This article expresses the authors’ opinions on a topic solicited by the Land of PureGold Foundation.

laboratory performing the test. A test should have known Sensitivity, which is the proportion of patients with the disease that test positive. It also should have a known Specificity, which is the proportion of patients without disease that test negative. Sensitivity and specificity describe the capability of the test to distinguish between patients with and without disease. The Predictive value of a test describes the probability of disease given a particular test result, and it is influenced by how commonly the disease occurs in a specific population. Sometimes tests are evaluated based on a population that has different characteristics than the group of patients receiving the test in practice, which can mean the test does not identify disease in clinical settings in exactly the same way it did in research studies. Testing performed in the United States on human patients or using human samples is governed by federal regulatory standards under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA) of 1988 and with oversight from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

There are no comparable regulatory standards in veterinary medicine. The American Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians, Inc. (AAVLD) provides accreditation for veterinary diagnostic laboratories based on their ability to meet established criteria, including those that define “good laboratory practices” (GLP). This accreditation is voluntary and largely limited to the State Diagnostic Laboratories with an emphasis on diseases that have agricultural impact or that might be transmissible to people. Thus, other laboratories may or may not have mechanisms in place to ensure or approximate GLP standards. In general, commercial diagnostic labs operate at or near GLP standards, but there is much variability when point-of-care testing is done.

Biomarker A biomarker is “a characteristic that is objectively measured and evaluated as an indicator of normal biology, pathology, or the response to treatment.”

Biomarkers can provide important information to determine risk, aid in the diagnosis of a disease, determine prognosis, or plan the treatment strategy for a patient. Biomarkers include substances or compounds that many people would consider to be “routine,” for example blood sugar to monitor diabetes. They also can be highly specialized and sophisticated and apply to only a small population of patients.

Early detection of cancer The American Cancer Society endorses a variety of tests that can help identify cancer in humans during the early stages of the disease.

“Early detection saves lives,” it is said, and in

many cases this is absolutely true. Cancers detected early are oftentimes more curable, and since patients with early stage disease are less likely to have frailties seen in patients with advanced disease, treatments are better tolerated.

Nonetheless, some common screening tests that have been embedded as gold standards for early detection such as the Prostate Specific Antigen or PSA for prostate cancer in men and mammography for breast cancer in women have recently become shrouded in controversy. The main issue of controversy is related to risk: benefit considerations. More specifically, a positive result can lead to invasive procedures that cause significant morbidity, psychological stress, and significant economic cost. Some health care professionals believe that the rate of false positives for these tests (PSA and mammography) is unacceptably high, on balance causing more harm to people that do not have the disease than benefit to people who do. At this time, this controversy is far from

to detect, diagnose, or prognosticate cancer in pets? As explained in more detail below, the answer is not easy, and it requires vigilance, advocacy, and awareness by both pet owners and veterinary care team members.

Even beyond the potential reliability, the greater consideration should be, “Would early detection allow me to intervene and improve the outcome for my pet?” In the case of human patients, for example, a high PSA test result would lead the urologist to do additional tests focused on the possibility that the patient has prostatic disease (imaging studies, biopsy, etc.).

The subsequent identification of prostate cancer in that patient would lead to potentially lifesaving, or life-extending therapy, again, focused on the prostate. The same applies to tests which measure biomarkers that are highly specific for cancers of one type or in a single location. On the other hand, tests for early detection that are not highly specific – that is, they are associated with processes such as cell division that are common to many cancers, and they have no relation to an anatomic determinant (organ or tissue specificity) – may not be especially useful.

resolution and will only be resolved by continued and diligent analysis of test performance and outcomes. Another issue raised is that, while for some cancers early detection can be life-saving, for others there is no evidence that finding the cancer early allows any intervention that improves outcome in terms of quality or quantity of life. In these cases, early detection may just create unnecessary and unproductive anxiety that reduces quality of life for some individuals.

This raises an important concern for the pet owner: if cancer tests approved by the FDA and performed under CLIA standards are subject to question and controversy, how do we determine if and when it is reasonable to do a test offered Dachshund Club of America

Autumn, 2014

Consider a test that can detect any cancer, or a specific cancer that can occur in a variety of organs, like canine hemangiosarcoma. If the test is sufficiently sensitive to detect the cancer before it is visible by advanced imaging studies or other methods, the veterinarian and the owner are left at a loss for what to do. Should they use cytotoxic therapies on a patient that is not ill, risking possible severe side effects?

Would the tumor cells at that stage be sensitive to such therapies? Should they remove organs where the incipient tumor may be present, and what complications might arise? Is there a guarantee that the tumor is not present elsewhere? How does the veterinarian counsel the owner who may now be helpless to help their pet? Is the stress of knowing that a pet might develop cancer and die justifiable when an intervention does not exist? In this scenario, testing may be not only of little use, but it also may be ethically questionable.

The diagnostic process There is neither a single rule nor a single path to reach a cancer diagnosis. Some tumors continued on page 28...

It is with the heaviest of hearts that we share the loss of our beloved Solo.

Solo gave so much in his short life. He was the dog that could do it all! Everyone that met Solo could never forget him. His gentle spirit yet tenacious hunting instinct was amazing. As a therapy dog Solo could touch the toughest of hearts, and at times he would lick away the tears of those he comforted. Everyone that ever talked to us about our dogs had to hear about Solo, our heart dog. Solo left his legacy in his off-spring. He produced many champions who went on to win awards of merit at Eukanuba and DCA Nationals. Retired from the show ring, he always loved to come back and strut his stuff in the parade of veterans at several nationals.

There will never be another Solo! He took a BIG piece of our heart when he crossed the rainbow bridge. Rest in peace sweet boy until we see you again.

The Dachshund Club Of California’s 100th Specialty Show

By Linda Castaneda he 100th Specialty Show of The Dachshund Club Of California, Inc. was held at the Ventura Fairgrounds on July 3, 2014. It is hard to believe that in 1932, the very first specialty was held in Los Angeles!

The judge for the 100th Specialty show, was the one and only Ms. Ann Gordon. It was only fitting that Ms. Gordon was chosen to judge, as she had judged the 50th Specialty show held in 1980, in Long Beach.

Ms. Gordon was so honored to be asked to judge this very special show, as it was dedicated to the memory of her dear friend and longtime DCC member, Mrs. Polly Fleming. Polly was the longest member of DCC, having been a member since 1956.

An entry of 93 Dachshunds awaited Ms. Gordon in the ring, 29 Longhairs, 38 Smooths and 26 Wirehairs. In the end, her Variety winners were: Longhair – GCH Walmar’s Solo’s IOU SL, Smooth – GCH Barkerville Keyshia, and Wirehair – GCH Kadell’s Black Gold W. Her BOB winner was the Longhair. The Best Junior Handler award went to Andrew Munoz, from the Open Junior class.

Puppy and Veteran Sweepstakes was also offered. Longtime Dachshund breeder, exhibitor and handler Mrs. Sharon Jadick, did the

The evening was very special for all, as DCC members and exhibitors were invited to a dinner honoring the 100th Specialty show and judges.

The dinner was held at Milano’s Italian Restaurant, located at the Ventura Harbor. About forty people attended this lovely dinner.

Dachshund breeder and exhibitor Dan Burke, shared how special it was to be in attendance at the 50th Specialty show, and now in attendance at the 100th Specialty show. He praised Ms. Gordon for being such an influential person and judge to him as a young man. Sherry Snyder was also in attendance at both the 50th and 100th specialties!

The next day, Ms. Gordon and show chair Linda Castaneda were treated to a lovely tour of Montecito and Santa Barbara by Diane Jones.

Ms. Gordon was in awe with the cool weather, beautiful flowers and the Pacific Ocean!

The 100th Specialty Show was successful because of the hard work of the Show Committee and DCC members. The club thanks all of those who were in attendance and exhibited, as this was a show to remember!

A Milestone for DCCBy Ann and Me Gordon On July 3, 2014, I had the honor and pleasure to judge the Dachshund Club of California’s 100th Specialty Show. The show was dedicated to the memory of Polly Fleming who was a longtime member and a committed Dachshund breeder for many, many years. For numerous reasons, it was a very special occasion for me.

Although I acquired my first Dachshund, and attended my first AKC sponsored show event in Oklahoma, it was in California that my serious involvement with Dachshunds and the whole world of dogs began.

A Milestone for DCC and Me continued from page 19 A few months after getting my puppy, Trudi, my husband and I moved to California where I enrolled her in the Hollywood Dog Obedience Training Club. During one of the training sessions, the instructor passed out flyers that had information about an AKC All Breed Dog Show that was being held by the Harbor Cities Kennel Club. After finding out how to enter Trudi in the show, I did so.

Trudi did not place in her Novice Class of eleven entries. The judge that day was Donia Cline. Little did I know then that she was a very important person in the Dachshund world at that time. Even though I was disappointed with the outcome of my venture into showing dogs, I was totally captivated by the whole event.

Several months later, we returned home to Pittsburgh. By now, I was completely committed to becoming involved in breeding and showing dogs. One of the bloodlines that I chose to be a foundation for my breeding program was the von Marienlust line, developed by Josef and Maria Mehrer in West Hempstead, New York. One of the most important dogs in the history of Dachshunds, Ch. Favorite von Marienlust, was purchased from them by Fred and Rose Heying who lived in Pacoima, California and had the HeyingTeckel Kennels.

Favorite was an outstanding producer as was his son, Ch. Falcon of Heying-Teckel, who was still alive during the early years of my endeavors to develop my breeding program.

Some years later, when I learned that Falcon had died, I decided that I wanted to find a young Falcon son so that I could keep that bloodline in my program for as long as possible.

Since California would probably have the most Falcon sons available, I went there to find one. I was most fortunate in finding a young Falcon son, Jolly Dachs George, who was bred

by Polly Fleming. Acquiring George began the long-term friendship that I had with Polly. George earned his championship quickly and went on to be a winning dog in the show ring and was a top producer. His achievements went far beyond my wildest dreams.

Lately, I have been considering retiring from judging. After having the honor to judge the Dachshund Club of California’s once in a lifetime event that was dedicated to Polly Fleming, it seems fitting that I end my 45 years of judging in California; the place where I discovered the world of dogs and began my long, incredible journey with Dachshunds. !

A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO DIAGNOSTIC TESTING FOR VETERINARY CANCER PATIENTS continued from page 9... are quite obvious, manifesting as obvious lumps or bumps outside the body, or easily palpated masses inside a body cavity. Other tumors are quite difficult to detect, as they may be nestled deep in an organ, inside the brain, or distributed throughout the body with no external indication of their existence.

Some patients can have severe clinical signs associated with the mass, such as pain, ulceration, discoloration, etc. Others can have severe, but non-specific signs of illness, such as lethargy, inappetence, diarrhea, etc. And others still, can be insidious, causing no signs until they are so advanced as to be untreatable.

This, along with the relatively high prevalence of cancer (especially in older animals) means veterinarians must maintain “cancer” in their list of “rule outs” for any ill dog until proven otherwise. Then again, how can it be proven that an animal does not have cancer? For the answer to that question, read on.

Routine laboratory testing Current veterinary medical standards promote the use of minimal databases that allow the veterinary professional to monitor his or her patients’ health using a collection of biomarkers. These biomarkers include information obtained from complete blood counts, serum and urine chemistry profiles, and diagnostic imaging studies. In addition to other routine components of the physical exam, these tests allow the veterinary professional to ascertain changes that are inconsistent with those expected from normal ageing.

When cancer is suspected, for example, if there is an abnormal growth outside the body or within a body cavity, additional tests are done to “rule in” or “rule out” the various pathological processes that can explain the clinical signs.

Among the common rule-outs in a cancer workup, one must consider that lumps and bumps can be caused by inflammation; anemia (low red blood cell counts) can be caused by renal failure; and, masses in the spleen can be hematomas. It is difficult to prove a negative, so while positive results can provide a definitive diagnosis, negative results might only change the relative order of potential diagnoses. It is a common result that one test leads to other tests in the diagnostic process. Yet, it is essential to understand that ordering tests prematurely is not always efficient, and it can derail the diagnostic process. This is because a specialized test interpreted outside its proper context can lead the diagnostician astray, masking both the real diagnosis and the most useful tests that should be performed.

Recent and specialized laboratory tests for cancer: Do’s and Don’ts.

The severity of cancer has led to multiple areas of testing and development. This section is focused on just a few assays that were developed in research laboratories and subsequently commercialized. The focus is

purposeful, as these are the tests for which we receive many inquiries, but it is not meant to detract from the utility of other tests that veterinarians commonly use for cancer diagnosis.

Clonality testing for lymphoma: PCR for Antigen Receptor Rearrangements (PARR) This test is based on detecting a signature that can distinguish whether a lymphocyte population arises from a single cell (monoclonal) or from many cells (polyclonal).

Every lymphocyte in the body acquires a unique “antigen receptor” through a mechanism that involves moving segments of DNA (rearrangements) to help prepare these cells to protect the body from the many different infectious agents that can be encountered over a lifetime. The diversity of the lymphocyte pool, and therefore the precision of the clonal signature, increases through a process called somatic mutation that takes place in activated lymphocytes.

Antigen receptor rearrangement is a normal process; the test utilizes PCR to amplify sequences from all the lymphocytes present in a sample. Essentially, the main result is to say whether all or most of the sequences are the same, which means the population is clonal (and therefore more likely to originate from a cancerous process), or if there are many different ones, which means the population is

This same test has been commercialized for human patients with cancer, but as of late 2011 it had yet to receive FDA approval, although assessment was in progress.

The reagent recognizes a protein in dog cells, and so it is reasonable to hypothesize that this protein might also be increased in dogs with cancer. polyclonal (and more likely to occur in response to an infectious agent or an allergen).

Lymphocytes undergo clonal expansion when they are activated. Under conditions where normal lymphocytes are activated, a few or many clones undergo this expansion and create a polyclonal response. When malignant lymphocytes divide, the hallmark is the presence of a single clonal population.

The test is offered by a number of different laboratories, each of which has established rigorous standards for quality control. The estimated sensitivity of the test is 75%, and the specificity is about 94%. Conditions that might produce false positive or false negative results have been thoroughly evaluated and published.

This is a powerful test, but is not meant as a stand-alone tool. Rather, it is meant as an adjunct test that adds a level of information or confirmation to other commonly used diagnostic tests. Nevertheless, after more than 10 years of refinement, this test is now considered among the core diagnostic tools for lymphoma.

P-glycoprotein mutation This test is meant to identify dogs that carry a mutation in the ABCB1 gene, which encodes a membrane transport protein called Pglycoprotein (PgP) or multi-drug resistance (MDR) protein. ABCB1 is a member of a large family of genes that encode specialized proteins that pump nutrients into and toxins out of cells.

This protein was originally discovered as a culprit for chemoresistance in cancer: it is commonly upregulated in tumors where it serves to pump drugs out of cancer cells before they can cause the intended damage. However, it also serves a protective function by preventing drugs from crossing into organs where they can cause irreparable damage.

When daily heartworm preventatives became widespread in the early 1990s, there was a curious association with neurologic toxicity in collies and other herding dogs that received these drugs. This led to the discovery of a mutation in the ABCB1 gene that is present in as many as 10-12% of dogs. The mutation encodes a defective, inactive product, and the prevalence is highest in herding breeds. The mutation does not seem to carry ill effects other than the high risk for toxicity with drug treatment. Testing is indicated, especially for dogs from high-risk breeds (or dogs that have these breeds in their ancestry), as an aid to plan heartworm prevention strategies or in the case of dogs with cancer, to develop individualized chemotherapy protocols. It is available through the Washington State Clinical Pharmacology lab.

OncoPet RECAF test Recently, OncoPet Diagnostics and BioCurex announced commercialization of a blood test for cancer detection in companion animals. This test is based on detection of a protein in the blood that is, or is similar to the alphafetoprotein receptor. Alpha-fetoprotein is involved in the regulation of growth and immune function. The receptor for alphafetoprotein is incompletely characterized; the reagent used for this test was made against a membrane extract of human breast cancer cells and recognizes one of several proteins that bind alpha-fetoprotein.

This same test has been commercialized for human patients with cancer, but as of late 2011 it had yet to receive FDA approval, although assessment was in progress. The reagent recognizes a protein in dog cells, and so it is reasonable to hypothesize that this protein might also be increased in dogs with cancer.

However, there is considerable controversy even among the experts in the field regarding the potential of alpha-fetoprotein receptors to act as “universal tumor markers.” Data regarding the presence of this protein in dogs with cancer are only available on the company’s website and have not yet been published in a peer reviewed journal, so scientists outside the company have not thoroughly evaluated this test. The company’s own question/answer section and the disclaimers in their data sheet indicate that there is not yet enough information to decide under what conditions this test will be useful as

a diagnostic tool for cancer in pets. While running the test is not harmful, an incorrect diagnosis can have profound consequences, and so this test should be used judiciously and always in combination with other established diagnostic tests.

As is the case for other tests described here, there is no peer-reviewed information that scientists outside the company can use to thoroughly evaluate this test, and so until robust data are available to confirm its utility, the INCaSe test should not be considered as a standard to screen otherwise healthy pets for cancer.

VDxI-TK test for cancer Thymidine kinase (TK) is an enzyme expressed in cells that are undergoing division.

TK is released into the blood and serves as a biomarker for cell proliferation. Thus, TK levels are higher in any condition when there are rapidly dividing cells. This can include nonmalignant conditions like pregnancy, growth, and inflammation, as well as malignant cancers.

Several publications support an association between elevated TK levels in the blood and cancer. An advantage of this test, like RECAF, is that it is minimally invasive, requiring only a blood sample. In the case of hemangiosarcoma, the reported sensitivity is 50%. This means the false negative rate is quite high (it will have negative calls in half of the cases where dogs have a tumor). This may be due to confounding by other non-malignant conditions (see above).

They reported specificity is 90%, but the test cannot distinguish among different types of cancer so this specificity can only be achieved when the TK test is combined with other diagnostic tests. Moreover, its predictive value is not known.

Other tests perform equivalently or better that the TK test, but few can be done in a blood sample. It is fair to say that there also is not enough information to decide when this test should be applied. It is apparent that when used, the test should be combined with a diagnostic biopsy that can establish the cancer type, and with imaging studies to stage the tumor. Perhaps the VDxI-TK test is better suited to monitor responses to therapy, for example in dogs with cancer where the basal TK activity was known, and where it diminished when the dog went into remission. In such cases, a persistent elevation back towards the baseline could indicate relapse.

VDxI canine-specific C-reactive protein test and INCaSe C-reactive protein (CRP) is an “acute phase protein” produced by the liver as an early component of systemic inflammation (involving the whole body and not just a small local area).

The white blood cells that are responsible for

inflammation produce little or no CRP. Instead, they release other factors (called interleukins) that instruct the liver to produce and release CRP. Among other functions, CRP coats and inactivates bacteria, which helps the body to eliminate infection.

Inflammation is a basic response to many abnormal states, and so while the CRP test is relatively specific to detect the presence of systemic inflammation, it does not necessarily provide information about the cause of inflammation. Elevated CRP has been documented in dogs with active bacterial or fungal infections, in dogs with some viral infections, in dogs with certain chronic inflammatory diseases such as some types of arthritis, and occasionally, in dogs with cancer.

The VDxI CRP point of care test (TECO) has high sensitivity (94-96% in blood or serum) and specificity (83-91% in blood or serum). So the test is quite useful to detect or monitor inflammation. As noted above, however, the test cannot discriminate among the many different conditions that cause inflammation.

It has been proposed that the combination of VDxI-TX and VDxI-CRP, sold under the name INCaSe, can be used as a method to screen otherwise healthy pets for cancer, in other words, as an early detection test. The principle of combining these two tests is sound, in that it might help to establish the presence of inflammation and confirm or eliminate one of the common causes that confound interpretation of the TK test. However, this test will fail to perform in cases where cancer and inflammation co-exist and both are positive (as noted above, positive CRP tests have been documented in dogs with neoplasia), and in cases where the TK falls below the reference or is negative, such as 50% of hemangiosarcomas. As is the case for other tests described here, there is no peer-reviewed information that scientists outside the company can use to thoroughly evaluate this test, and so until robust data are available to confirm its utility, the INCaSe test should not be considered as a standard to screen otherwise healthy pets for cancer.

PetScreen Lymphoma Blood Test (LBT) The principle of this test is based on the concept that cancer cells (lymphoma cells in this case) make proteins that are different from those made by normal cells, and that these proteins can be detected in blood or serum using very sensitive methods. Because the identity of the proteins is unknown, PetScreen developers sought to find those proteins using methods that allow for comparison of all, or almost all the proteins that can be measured in a serum sample. This method, called “proteomics” has been used in the research setting for more than a decade and it holds promise in the diagnostic arena.

Results have been published from one study evaluating the PetScreen LBT. In this study, there was a profile of proteins that could distinguish if serum samples originated from dogs with lymphoma or from dogs without lymphoma with 91% specificity and 75% sensitivity. The PetScreen scientists that Dachshund Club of America

conducted this study estimated a positive predictive value of 80% and a negative predictive value of 88%. They further examined samples from dogs that had no lymphoma at the time of testing to see how many would develop lymphoma 3 – 6 months later. Of the 96 dogs in this group, 30 had a positive test result, and of these, 24 had been diagnosed with lymphoma at the time of follow up.

On the surface, these results would appear remarkable, and they do indeed represent a large step towards advanced diagnostics. But there are a number of problems that would preclude us from recommending this test as a routine screening or diagnostic test. First, the company has not disclosed the nature of the proteins that allow them to distinguish between “normal” and “lymphoma”, so it is impossible for any independent observer to establish a cause-effect relationship. The published data refer to two proteins (one large and one small) that are the principal determinants, and 8 surrogates that can be used when the results from the first two are equivocal. The lack of a cause-effect relationship is not a problem for some biomarkers that perform admirable in the diagnostic realm (for example, CRP is a very reliable marker of inflammation that does not distinguish among the many causes of inflammation). But in the case where the information is absolute means that the interpretation of the results must rely partly on faith – an approach that runs counter to evidence based medicine.

Another problem with LBT test is that the population used for validation had some level of uncertainty. Some dogs were diagnosed based on “clinical judgment”, a measure that is subjective. In addition, we recognize that

On the surface, these results would appear remarkable, and they do indeed represent a large step towards advanced diagnostics. But there are a number of problems that would preclude us from recommending this test as a routine screening or diagnostic test. First, the company has not disclosed the nature of the proteins that allow them to distinguish between “normal” and “lymphoma”, so it is impossible for any independent observer to establish a cause-effect relationship. “lymphoma” is a general descriptor for a variety of diseases that arise from different cells and have different behavior and response to therapy.

In this study, the investigators did not distinguish among lymphoma subtypes, so it is unclear if the test is useful for only one or a few common types of lymphoma, or if it is useful for any type of lymphoma. continued on page 48...

A New Recipe For Specialty Obedience & Rally Success

By DFWDC Trial Secretary, Sandi Myers

In 2012 the Dallas Fort Worth Dachshund Club (DFWDC) decided to change how we were offering conformation, obedience and rally. For years having put on our own show, for the March 2013 shows we switched to a back-to-back specialty conformation show format going in with the Combined Specialties (using a superintendent) in Fort Worth, Texas. This meant the club would not be able to hold their May show where we typically offered obedience & rally in addition to conformation.

It also meant that we would not be allowed to hold obedience at the March show as in the past. Now the club needed to do something different with their traditional offering of obedience and rally. Club members voted to hold a three trial over two day obedience and rally event in June 2013. Following that event, exhibitors were happy with the location, the date, and the format, so the club decided to do it again for 2014.

Here is a report of the 2014 weekend of obedience & rally events.

On June 21 & 22, 2014 in Duncanville, TX at the Dog Training Club of Dallas County training building, the DFWDC hosted a mega weekend of dachshund rally and obedience trials. There were 68 total entries between the 6 trials (one rally and two obedience trials on Saturday, and two rally and one obedience trials on Sunday). Each trial offered all of the regular rally and obedience classes, all of the optional titling classes in obedience, plus brace and veterans.

At the first rally trial we had 7 dachshunds for 7 entries, trial #2 was 6 for 6, and trial #3 was 6 for 6 for a total of 19 rally entries showing under judges Cathy Caballero and Charlene Dunn.

There were 12 qualifying runs for the weekend in rally. This is a 63% Q rate.

The rally courses designed by the judges were not a cakewalk either. On Sunday, Ms. Dunn brought toys for the offset Figure 8 that seem to possess supernatural powers calling all dachshunds entered to be under their spell. All in good fun, we exhibitors called them the evil Duck & Bunny toys (the judge has a lab & a dachshund hence the duck & rabbit). The dogs went through the entire course “eyeing” those toys until one finally succumbed in Rally Advanced, and he just had to run over there from the start and grab the toy. Guess he had more fun than the others!

In obedience, the first trial had 14 dachshunds with 17 entries. The

second trial there were 13 dachshunds with 16 entries plus a brace entry for 17. At the third trial there were 11 dachshunds for a total of 15 entries. Our judges were Cathy Caballero and Gene Norman. There were 30 qualifying runs in obedience for the weekend (61% Q rate) and one non-regular class award given. Gene Morris & Zeke (mini smooth) retired both the High In Trial Challenge Trophy (on Saturday) and the High Combined Challenge Trophy (on Sunday).

By renting the building from the all-breed training club it was already set up with matting, baby gates, and ring equipment. The only work involved with setting up the building was to tape brown paper over the lower half of the mirrors at ground level to not have the dogs reflection be a distraction. The only equipment provided by the Trial Secretary was for Rally and Beginner Novice since the sign holders use clips in the shapes of all the coats of dachshunds sitting up (individual wood cutouts glued onto clothespins to hold the signs on the stands). The judges always get a little chuckle over the clips and it adds a little special touch to celebrate our breed since it is a specialty event.

There were exhibitors from 3 states (Iowa, Louisiana, and Texas), one had just moved to TX from AZ the week before the trials. We had a Novice A exhibitor drive up from the Houston area for her very first trials. A Novice A exhibitor we had in 2013 returned to show her dog in Open A in 2014 where she earned her first 2 legs on the CDX. We had other Novice A exhibitor that also earned her PCD title at this event.

Helping and mentoring Novice A exhibitors hopefully keep them interested in the sport.

Entered in the trials were 2 mini wires, 6 mini smooths, 6 mini longs, and 3 standard longs with 11 exhibitors. The 2 mini wires made the most adorable brace in obedience. There were big accomplishments all weekend. Titles earned were two RN, two RA, and one RE in Rally. Obedience titles earned were one UDX6, one CDX, four BN, and one PCD. One exhibitor had been trying for some titles for over 6 years and earned them both on Sunday under a judge she had never qualified under before.

In lieu of purchasing trophies (only High In Trial and High Combined trophies were offered, donated by the Trial Secretary & Chairman), the club members decided to give each exhibitor a swag bag.

In it were some purchased items and some items lovingly crafted for just dachshund lovers. These handmade gifts added an extra special touch since they were all made with love for those in the breed. The items made were Wish Bracelets by myself (they came on a card that instructed the exhibitor to make a wish when putting it on, bet we know what most were wishing for), crocheted dachshund bookmarks by someone coming from another state, and glitzy dachshund postcard magnets made by a club member. Our thanks to another club member for donating cute doggie placemats too. In addition, Green Pet store in Oak Cliff in the Bishop Arts District donated bags of dog treats to each exhibitor. This store also gave us the bags to put all of the loot into. We gave them an ad in our catalog in return, plus a listing in the contributor’s area of the catalog. There is a whole other story about how I ended up in the Green Pet store to begin with, so I think I was destined to be able to ask them for a donation. It never hurts to ask for something, and you never know they might just say Yes! Might have helped that I also had my dachshund in tow!

The event had several generous donors; not only from local contributors, but we also received a contribution from some supporters in CA (all because one of our new members forwarded them the premium

list). How great is that! In addition to contributions, we sold several ads in the catalog for a low fee. The catalog is printed in color so it is a bargain price what we charge for the ads. DFWDC maintains a color copier for club use so the catalog was produced at lower cost than if we had outsourced the printing.

The covers were printed on cardstock in bright summer colors which added a festive look. Again, keeping with the thought that we want our specialty to be a special event. A copy of the catalog was given to the donors & advertisers (mailed with their thank you note if they weren’t in attendance).

I donated cartoon dachshund artwork for use on the cover of the catalog.

Instead of charging for the catalogs, the club gifted a catalog to each exhibitor as part of their swag bag. Each worker was also given a catalog and a gift bag (each containing the handmade items mentioned above). The prior year we sold so few catalogs, we figured it would just make a nice gift for this year. With the generous donations we received (because we asked in the premium list), it didn’t cause us to lose money on the gifts the club provided. We spent way less money giving gifts than if we had to have purchased trophies for all of the classes we offered. And it hardly seems fair to only offer a prize for first in a class when often we have more than one qualifier.

A trial cannot run smoothly without the help of stewards.

Several dachshund club members and a potential new member stewarded one or both days. An article summarizing the event was written for the newsletter of the dog training club where the event was held, and now we have people from that club volunteering to steward for us next year because they read how great our show was and how much fun we had. In 2013, a couple of members from the all-breed club served as Trial Secretary and stewards so we wouldn’t lose any entries (another example of asking for help from outside of the club, don’t be afraid to ask people in other breeds to help). In 2014 AKC made

changes to the Regulations, a Trial Secretary can now show as long as it doesn’t conflict with their duties. I did not find that it was problematic to serve as both secretary and still have time to show my own dog. The Trial Chairman was a big help with the duties after each trial was concluded. Instead of trying to do carbon copies of the judge’s books, we just brought a printer/copier to the event and made copies on the spot at the end of each trial.

For a nominal fee each day, pre-purchased lunches (again a form in the premium list) were available to the exhibitors (stewards were given a free lunch). On Saturday, DFWDC club members brought pot luck salads for a Salad Buffet lunch (club members donating a salad did not pay for lunch on Saturday). Designated club members set up and then cleaned up afterwards. On Sunday, we served deli sandwiches, chips, and any of the salads for sides. Other club members donated desserts too. Nobody went hungry.

Finding local judges that can judge both rally & obedience and are willing to judge a specialty is a little challenging lately. We try not to use the same judge over and over in case someone has prior legs toward a title under them. We usually manage to find judges that enjoy judging our breed and are very fair with the exhibitors. At this trial, the judges were given gifts of a “Sandi original” handpainted picture of one of their dogs in a nice frame.

Following up at the end of the trial is also important. We polled the exhibitors to ask for suggestions for the future.

While all of this may sound like an enormous amount of work, it really was easy to plan and coordinate it all for an annual event. Club members worked together to make it all come together in the end. Hopefully, this article has given you a sense that there is perhaps a new recipe for specialty obedience and rally success. Instead of having events in two different months, for us it is much easier to offer it all in one weekend. I think it maximizes the chances of success for both the exhibitors in the ring and the success for the club hosting the events.

If you and your club have any questions about how we do all of this please feel free to contact me. It would be great to see other specialty clubs try this format instead of dropping obedience and rally because they can’t afford to do it anymore. This was the recipe for success for the Dallas Fort Worth Dachshund Club. We think we will stick with this plan for a while yet to come. Maybe we will see you in June 2015, it will be the club’s 70th Anniversary year! Great things are being planned.!

Autumn, 2014

In the last DCA magazine (Summer 2014) an article reprinted from Dogs Naturally Magazine and authored by Catherine O’Driscoll espoused the risks of vaccination and encouraged readers NOT to immunize their dogs. Statements made included: “We animal owners are actually paying doctors and vets to unwittingly betray our pets” and “Potentially, vaccines are the stealth bomb of the medical world.” As proof that vaccines cause autoimmune disease she quotes a study done at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine. Unfortunately, Ms. O’Driscoll has drawn some outlandish conclusions from that and other studies that are not based in scientific fact. In fact, she has drawn conclusions from the Purdue study that are even different than the scientists that did the research! I would like to take this opportunity to lay out the scientific facts and let you draw your own conclusions.

The study used a very small group of dogs (10 puppies in two groups of 5) and this research has not been repeated or substantiated in a larger group so any specific conclusions are of very limited, if any value.

Second, Concerning the author, Ms. O’Driscoll: FACT: Ms O’Driscoll has a personal agenda. She authored another article titled “Pet Vaccination, An Institutionalized Crime” in which she states there is “scientific evidence” that vaccines caused her dogs to suffer from “rear-end paralysis, leukemia, cancer, thyroid disease, arthritis, allergies, and death. In this article she makes statements such as “the (veterinary) profession is committing a crime by vaccinating animals year after year until they drop.”

She lives in Scotland, UK, not the US, and formed a group in 1994 called Canine Health

First, Concerning the Purdue study: FACT: The following are direct quotes from the conclusions of the Purdue researchers: “Vaccination did not cause immunosuppression or alter the response to an unrelated antigen.”

“Not vaccinating dogs is not a viable option, because the benefits of vaccination clearly outweigh the still uncertain risks of immunemediated disease.”

“Bovine serum components in the vaccine may be responsible for the majority of autoantibodies.”

“The pathogenic significance of these autoantibodies is presently uncertain.”

“New generations of vaccines, especially naked DNA vaccines, are free of (bovine) serum components, and these should not induce (auto)antibodies.”

Vaccination Just the Facts Please!

by D. Denny Van Hook DVM

FACT: The Purdue study is very limited and thus no hard conclusions should be drawn from this one uncorroborated study. A few specifics: This study was published in 1999 so the actual research was even done earlier. Vaccines have improved a lot in the 15 years since this study was accomplished. For example, the first recombinant DNA vaccine was developed and licensed in 1997. This newer type of vaccine cannot revert to an infectious form nor does it replicate in lymphocytes.

The study protocol immunized puppies every two weeks at 8, 10, 12, 16, and 20 weeks with a 5 way vaccine and at 16 weeks with Rabies. Our puppy protocol has changed considerably since 1999. We now recommend giving a total of three shots at least three weeks apart, plus Rabies, with the last vaccine at or after 16 weeks.

The study used puppies from two beagles that were already pregnant that they bought from a “breeder”. There was no genetic history of the dams, no health history to include any autoimmune disease, no known previous vaccination history of the dams (i.e. potential for maternal antibodies), no history of the sires, etc, etc.

Concern whose stated aim is “to educate pet owners in an attempt to stop the carnage that is being visited upon the animals by the corporations and professionals who profess to be helping them. My mission is quite personal, since the science points toward the horrifying fact that vaccines have killed three of my young, beautiful canine friends.” Ms. O’Driscoll is a freelance PR and marketing consultant and journalist, not a scientist. In addition, she has a website where she offers several products and books for sale.

And Third, Concerning Vaccine Safety and Efficacy: FACT: Vaccines do have side effects. We recognize that there are side effects to almost everything that is put into the body either naturally (like food and drinks) or for medicinal purposes. The risks of those side effects have to be balanced against the risks of not putting these things into our bodies, or our dogs’ bodies. With vaccines we KNOW that they can increase protection against disease and we also KNOW that they can occasionally cause local and/or systemic adverse reactions. Common side effects can include loss of appetite, pain at the injection site, lethargy, soreness, or mild fever. Very rarely a vaccine can cause allergic reactions up to and including anaphylaxis.

There have been cases with a few vaccines (especially in cats) of tumor formation at the injection site. Most vaccine reactions are either due to the use of live virus vaccines or due to a reaction to the suspensory agents or adjuvants (something in the vaccine added to increase the immune response.) Over the last several years these suspensory agents and adjuvants have been improved in many vaccines to minimize adverse reactions. You have probably heard some anecdotal stories of vaccination causing hemolytic anemia or immune mediated thrombocytopenia, but all studies to date have failed to show any type of relationship. Severe reactions are very rare and as new and improved methods are developed to produce vaccines these risks become less and less of an issue. But side effects still do happen. That does not alter the fact that the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.

FACT: If you don’t vaccinate your dog you put them AND OTHER DOGS at risk. If you ever see a dog with a full blown case of Distemper or Parvovirus or, heaven forbid, Rabies, you will quickly realize this is something you don’t want your dog to suffer from. Serious canine diseases continue to persist and present risks to our dogs, especially if they are exposed at shows, trials, kennels, or other such venues.

But even those pets that never leave the back yard are at risk from the wildlife population and stray animals.

Unimmunized dogs put others at risk due to something known as “herd immunity.” Let’s say you have 100 dogs in a kennel and 99 are vaccinated against a communicable disease. continued on page 61...

Vaccination continued from page 57

Chances are the unvaccinated dog will not get sick, so the owner of the unvaccinated dog says, “See, you don’t need to vaccinate.” Therefore other people stop vaccinating. As long as the proportion of vaccinated dogs is quite high, the chances of an unvaccinated dog getting sick and spreading disease are small, but as the proportion of vaccinated dogs goes down, the risks increase. The point at which a disease starts spreading easily is called the herd immunity threshold. For most diseases that threshold is around 80-90%. Therefore, when you don’t vaccinate your dog it becomes a potential risk to others that are not vaccinated and increases the potential for an outbreak.

This is not just an animal phenomenon but also affects people. In several areas of the country (most notably California) we are seeing this problem manifest itself in childhood diseases like pertussis and measles.

Because parents have refused vaccination due to similar unproven claims (such as measles vaccine causes autism) these diseases that were once almost completely eliminated are occurring again and causing serious illness and even death in children. The loss of these precious children to a preventable disease is truly tragic.

they reflect the best of current knowledge.

FACT: Vaccines do work, but they do not protect 100% of the dogs 100% of the time. The effectiveness of a vaccine is based on many factors including the overall health of the dog, the ability of their immune system to respond to the vaccine, the ability of the vaccine to cause an immune response, and many other factors.

The biggest reason vaccines fail in young puppies is due to interference with immunity that they get from their dams (Maternally Derived Antibodies (MDA)). The age at which a puppy loses the protection from MDA and can therefore respond to a vaccine varies, even between puppies in the same litter. That is why you give multiple vaccines to puppies with the last dose at 16 weeks. By this time almost all puppies will have lost all MDA and are able to respond to the vaccine.

Also, some vaccines work better than others and some vaccines work longer than others.

For example we know that immunity from Bordetella vaccines is very short lived while immunity from Distemper vaccines may actually last a lifetime. Not every vaccine will protect every dog against every challenge by a disease, (e.g. Leptospirosis vaccine only works against the four most common subtypes but there are around 200 varieties of Lepto) but most vaccines will at least reduce the severity of the illness.

Vaccines do work, but they do not protect 100% of the dogs 100% of the time.

FACT: We don’t really know the ideal vaccination schedule for dogs. There is still a lot of research that needs to be done to determine just how long vaccine-induced immunity will last for each disease. By the way, this same uncertainty regarding ideal vaccination schedules exists for human vaccinations. But as in human medicine, we can make some good well-educated guesses. The American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA) has twice published guidance, (the most recent in 2011) that has been accepted by veterinary schools and the American Veterinary Medical Association.

A team of well-respected veterinarians including experts in immunology, infectious disease, internal medicine, law, and clinical practice used a combination of scientific studies, personal knowledge and experience to develop these guidelines. In some cases their recommendations are even different than the product labels for the vaccines, especially with respect to initial vaccination and revaccination.

These guidelines are available at https://www.aahanet.org/Library/CanineVaccine. aspx. If you have not already done so, you should print them out, read them and bring them to your next appointment to discuss with your veterinarian. While probably not perfect,

FACT: Not ALL dogs need ALL vaccines. I don’t immunize my dogs against everything that there is a vaccine for. I look at the risks my dogs face and the effectiveness of any particular vaccine and I immunize selectively. For example, an urban house dog in an area of the US that does not have a high incidence of Lyme disease that is adequately protected against ticks may not need Lyme vaccine. However, the CORE vaccines (Distemper, Adenovirus-2, and Parvovirus), and Rabies should be given to almost all dogs.

THE BOTTOM LINE. Canine vaccinations are not perfect. There are risks associated with vaccination just like with any medication, but the risks of NOT vaccinating are far greater than the risk of vaccination. Everyone needs to work with a veterinarian that they trust to determine what vaccines they need to give to their dogs and at what frequency. In almost every place in this country, Rabies is mandated by law because the disease is transmissible to humans. The rest of the vaccines are up to you, but make sure you are basing your decisions on scientific fact, not some unfounded conspiracy theory or junk science. These precious and wonderful animals are given into our care and it is our responsibility to do the best we can for them.

Remember, just because you see it on the internet....!

Performance Titles: What Do All Those Letters Mean?

By Karen R. Scheiner This article was inspired by DCA members who have asked for an explanation of the meaning of “all of those letters” after my dogs’ names.

Abby So, my original purpose was to articulate, in words rather than in letters, what all of those titles stand for. In this way, the measure of the dogs’ accomplishments can be realized and appreciated.

I felt that the best way to showcase those titles was to showcase some of the dogs in our lives who ultimately became our closest companions. Therefore, along with my explanation of these various AKC titles, I am also taking the opportunity to also honor performance dachshunds who have left us by passing over that rainbow bridge. Their photos appear on these pages.

This is also recognition of all of our beloved doxies who were so willing to please us by learning and achieving a level of performance that would not come naturally.

OBEDIENCE In my estimation, Obedience is probably the most challenging event of them all. Therefore the thrill of earning the title is extremely rewarding.

Competitive obedience requires the handler to teach the dog to heel, without use of a lead or food, and with few verbal commands. It requires

a biddable dog to sit and wait while the handler goes out of sight, to pick up and retrieve a dumbbell or a glove, and to choose the leather or metal article with their owner’s scent. These are the titles: CD – Companion Dog (3 legs earned at Novice level) CDX – Companion Dog Excellent ( 3 legs earned at Open level) UD – Utility Dog (3 legs earned at Utility level) UDX – Utility Dog Excellent (10 double qualifying scores from Open B and Utility B levels) You can get many UDX’s if you have a consistent dog.

OTCH – Obedience Trial Champion.

As with all championships, the OTCH title precedes the dog’s registered name. This is the only obedi-ence title you have to win to get.

The dog must be awarded three first places: one in Utility B, one in Open B, and one more in either Open B or Utility B. The dog must also earn 100 points, based on placing, depen-ding on the number of dogs entered.

If you are thinking about this, there is a complicated chart on the AKC website with further information.

There are now several new titles in obedience, which, for the sake of brevity, will not be discussed herein. Suffice it to say that the primary new title is the series of Obedience Master (OM) titles based on scores.

RALLY Rally was originally intended as a crossover between obedience and agility. It is similar to obedience in that it requires heeling and often sits and downs within the exercises. In the advanced and excellent levels, dogs are asked not only to heel, but to take jumps and walk backwards. At all times, as in agility, the handler is permitted to talk the dog through the course. Three legs for each title are required, except for the RAE, where ten double qualifying scores (same day qualifying in Advanced B and Excellent B) must earned.

RN – Rally Novice RA – Rally Advanced RE – Rally Excellent RAE – Rally Advanced Excellent (This title can be earned multiple times, with a number following the title to designate same. For example, RAE2, RAE3, etc.)

What is a Title?

Not just a brag, not just stepping stone to a higher title, not just an adjunct to competitive scores.

Rather, a title is a tribute to the dog that bears it...a way to honor the dog, an ultimate memorial.

It will remain, in record and in memory, for as long as anything in this world can remain.

Few humans will do as well or better in that regard.

And though the dog itself doesn’t know, nor care that its achievements have been noted, a title says many things in the world of humans, where such things count.

A title says your dog was intelligent, adaptable and good-natured.

It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things that pleased you, however crazy that may have sometimes seemed.

And a title says that you loved your dog, that you loved him enough to spend time with him because he was a good dog, that you believed in him enough to give him yet another chance when he failed.

And, that, in the end, your faith was justified.

A title proves that your dog inspired you to that special relationship so few have.

That, in a world of disposable creatures, this dog with a title was greatly loved, and loved greatly, in return.

And when that dear, short life is over, the title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can give a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small set of initials after the name.

A title is nothing less than love and respect, given and received and permanently recorded.

AGILITY Agility is a sport that looks easier than it Sierra really is. It is a test of the dog’s willingness to learn obstacles and jumps, and to maneuver a course by understanding the handler’s signals.

There are several “games” in AKC agility, which are reflected in the dogs’ titles.

“Standard” courses have contacts of table, dog walk, A-frame and teeter. “Jumpers” courses consist of just weave poles, jumps and sometimes tunnels. “Time-to-Beat” is a course with just two contact obstacles, either a table, A-frame or dog walk. “Fifteen and Send Time” (commonly known as “FAST”) is a test of speed and the dog’s willingness to run up to 20 feet away from the handler to take given obstacles which are located beyond a Bailey line which the handler may not cross.

All of the titles, with the exception of Masters and MACH, require three qualifying runs in the course. Here are the titles, in the order of levels: NA – Novice Agility (standard) NAJ – Novice Agility Jumpers OA – Open Agility (standard) OAJ – Open Agility Jumpers AX – Agility Excellent (standard) AXJ – Agility Excellent Jumpers MX – Masters Excellent (standard) – 10 qualifying runs MXJ – Masters Excellent Jumpers – 10 qualifying runs Maggie MACH – Master Agility Champion is the most coveted title in agility. The title precedes the dog’s registered name, as it signifies that the dog is an agility champion. To earn this championship, the dog must have a total of 20 double qualifying runs out of the Masters Standard and Masters Jumpers courses. This means that the dog has to qualify in both the Masters Standard and Masters Jumpers courses in the same day, to get a “Double Q.” The dog also has to earn 750 MACH points.

MACH points are earned by counting each second that the dog was able to run a Masters level course under the standard course time (which is guided by the AKC but set by the judge.) For a dachshund to earn a MACH, or a MACH2 (two MACHs) or MACH3 (three MACHs) is an amazing accomplishment by both the dog and the handler.

The two optional classes more recently added by the AKC to the sport of agility are FAST and Time 2 Beat. FAST titles are earned by 3 qualifying runs at each level, except the Masters level, which requires 10 qualifying runs.

NF – Novice FAST OF – Open FAST AX – Excellent FAST MX – Masters FAST “Time 2 Beat” requires 15 qualifying legs, with Max 100 total points earned.

The points are earned based on a mathematical formula whereby the fastest dog in the class gets 10 points, and everyone else gets from 1 to 9 points, depending on the number of dogs in the class and how fast they all ran. There are no levels in

Time 2 Beat. All dogs, whether in Novice, Open or Excellent in other classes, compete together at their respective jump heights. The title earned is T2B. There are also “Preferred” runs in agility.

For dachshunds, this means that instead of jumping the regular 8” jumps, the jumps are set to 4”, making jumping a little easier. The preferred dogs also get an additional five seconds over the standard course time. Essentially, the titles are the same as in the regular classes, except for the added “P” at the end of a title, such as MXP, or MJP (for Masters Excellent Preferred or Masters Jumpers Preferred.)

The preferred dogs can also earn a “PAX” for 20 qualifying runs at the Masters Level.

This title is a suffix to the dog’s name. They can earn a PACH for 20 qualifying runs at the Masters Level and 750 points earned.

This is a Preferred Agility Championship and precedes the dog’s registered name.

Lifetime Achievement Titles in Agility: The AKC has recently added Lifetime Achievement Titles for agility. If your dog was running in agility prior to the adoption of these titles, your dog was “grandfathered in,” so these titles would have been added to the dog’s name online. You can check your particular dog on the AKC website. (Certificates are only sent to those who earned the title after the new titles were adopted by the AKC.) There are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Century titles, reflecting earning 25 perfect scores, 50 perfect scores, 75 perfect scores and 100 perfect scores out of the Masters level classes, respectively.

For example, if your dog earns 25 perfect MXJ scores, then it will be awarded MJB title; for 100 perfect MX scores, it will be awarded MXC title. In preferred, a “P” is added to the end of the title.

FIELD TRIALS (Information on Field Trials & Earthdog provided by Jamie Sexton) FC – Field Champion is the only field trial title.

The requirements for the title are three placements, one of which must be a first place and 35 points. Points are earned by the number of dogs in a class: First place gets all, second place gets one-half points, third place gets one-third points and fourth place gets a quarter of the points.

For example, in a class of 12 dogs, first gets 12 pts., second gets 6 pts., third gets 4 pts. and fourth would get 3 pts.

Classes are generally divided into Open Dogs and Open Bitches.

(Classes can be combined if there are not enough in one of them).

Basically dachshund field trials are bunny tracking. Once the rabbit is spotted, a judge will yell “Tally-Ho” and two Tank dachshunds are released to follow the bunny’s track.

The dogs are judged on how well they follow the line, how far they take it, how accurate they are, if they use voice, and how they work at loss of the line. (Note that there is never any effort made to actually catch the rabbit.) continued on next page...

Performance Titles continued from page 67...

The top four to eight dogs are then called back for a second series. Generally this is head-tohead competition; winners move on or stay on top and losers move down (go against the winner of the lower placement) until there is no moving possible. Most trials also offer awards for a Best Open, Best Field Champion and then Absolute (Best in Field Trial) for the day.

TRACKING The purpose of the Tracking Test is to demonstrate the dog’s ability to recognize and follow human scent. It is also a test of how well the handler can read and follow the dog’s cues.

COURSING ABILITY Coursing Ability is a relatively new AKC event for dachshunds; however, it is based on lure coursing which events that have been offered to sight hounds for years. This is a noncompetitive pass-fail event open to all breeds as well as mixed breeds with a PAL number. The dog must complete the course with enthusiasm and without interruption within a stated maximum amount of time. It is in the judge’s discretion whether the dog qualifies or not. The titles that can be earned are: CA – Coursing Ability. Three qualifying scores in the Coursing Ability Test from two different judges at three different tests.

CAA – Ten qualifying scores (CA + 7) CAX – Coursing Ability Excellent. Twenty-five qualifying scores. Note that the counting of qualifying scores is cumulative.

such as VC (for versatility), which can be found on the DCA website.

Hopefully, this article will also serve as an inspiration to those of you who have been thinking about training for performance, but have not yet taken the leap. Earning a performance title is not easy, but the gratification when the title is earned, definitely makes the time and commitment worthwhile.

Finally, congratulations to all of the dachshunds and their owners who competed in performance events at this year’s DCA Nationals, and especially to those of you who earned a qualifying score or a new title! !

As a result, they became an indelible part of our lives and will never be forgotten. This is a tribute to them.

The 2014 Dachshund Club of America National Specialty was held May 5-10 at the Red Lion Woodlake Hotel and Conference Center in Sacramento, CA. The venue was spacious, convenient and the hotel staff was very accommodating. The huge ballroom allowed for large conformation rings and plenty of seating for the spectators with grooming space adjacent to the showroom. The pre-function area was filled with vendors displaying their wares and services throughout the week.

The hotel offered several nearby meeting rooms for entertainment, educational seminars and other functions.

The grounds were beautifully landscaped with an abundance of flowers and a lake that allowed nature lovers (human and canine alike) to enjoy the lovely fountain and waterfowl.

Events included agility, obedience, rally, two Golden Gate Dachshund Club conformation shows on Tuesday and Wednesday and the DCA sweepstakes and DCA specialty on Thursday through Saturday. Dachshund fanciers from around the globe gathered for a

week of camaraderie, competition, entertainment and education.

Many had traveled half way around the world and many more had driven thousands of miles across North America to attend.

Social festivities at the hotel began on Monday evening with a welcome hospitality meet and greet organized by Maggie Craig and hosted by the Golden Gate Dachshund Club. It’s always nice to gather with good friends that you look forward to seeing at the National each year. GGDC hosted a second enjoyable evening on Tuesday, this time organized by Sharon Jadick. On Wednesday evening the GGDC and NCDC combined to host the “Margarita Night” complete with a live band playing lakeside, delicious food and drink. Following the Grooming seminar on Friday we were all treated to even more delectable food and drink this time hosted by the SAVDC and, as if this was not enough, the DCA Board hosted the ever popular Ice Cream Social. The week ended with the DCA Awards Dinner where breeders and top dogs were honored and the final raffle items were won. Many “congratulations”, hugs and good-byes followed the dinner as everyone bid farewell to friends.

There were wonderful things to spend your money on this year. The GGDC had Ways and Means and Raffle tables filled with great items.

On Thursday DCA Ways and Means opened and the DCA raffle was unveiled with even more to catch your eye. The junior’s raffle filled several tables and choices were impressive. The vendors seemed to

have folks around their displays all week as well. Many of us went home with great treasures and mementoes from the show.

Junior handling at the DCA Nationals is not just about the competition. Seven juniors competed and participated in several activities. The juniors with the help of Kathy Lockyer set up an enormous raffle, earning $2,200 for the junior fund. There were many generous donors both individually and from dachshund clubs. The professional handlers, headed by Tammy Wilcox, provided a handling seminar and a seminar on how to take a great show picture. Their expertise and encouragement was highly beneficial. Leslie Savoye took the juniors to the Jelly Belly factory located in the greater Sacramento area. The picture they took together at the factory was a testament to how much fun they had. Finally, the group went out for dinner, tasting wonderful seafood and local delicacies.

Juniors were judged by Sherrill Snyder and the DCA Best Junior this year was Hannah Keenes from the Open Senior class. Congratulations Hannah!

Thursday morning the DCA Annual Meeting was held in the ballroom. The meeting was well attended and called to order by Carl Holder at 9:00 am. Larry Sorenson gave the AKC Delegate’s report complete with a power point presentation.

Denny Van Hook DVM and DCA Board member presented her research into the current science on health risks associated with white color in dachshunds. Dr. Van Hook’s presentation was clear, concise and very informative. This year DCA followed the new judges’ panel selection procedure that we had approved in 2013. The process went smoothly and the following judges were elected for DCA in 2016 to be held in Gettysburg, PA: Longs - Robert Wlodkowski, Smooths - Constance Fisher and Wires - Eric Henningsen. The Annual Meeting was followed by DCA Sweepstakes judging and DCA Obedience and followed by conformation and Rally judging on Friday and Saturday.

DCA Agility 2014

The DCA Agility Trial was held on Monday May 5th at Woodlake Park, a small public park in Sacramento. The conditions were certainly not as nice as the DCA 2013 Agility trial, which was held in an air-conditioned indoor facility on artificial turf, but at least temperatures were not over 100 degrees as at the DCA 2010 Agility Trial in southern California!

The exhibitors all agreed that Judge Janet Budzynski put together a nice set of courses for her second time judging the DCA specialty. She was wonderfully patient with our small trial.

Right out of the gate, the five entrants in FAST all qualified. Lady and Barnabus, the two dogs in Excellent FAST, made the difficult send bonus look easy, even continued on next page...

though the handlers had to guide them from over 15 feet away. Novice FAST was the only class of the day with two qualifiers, with Hayden earning second with a score of 67 and Bossa taking first with a 76. Ten-year old Asti qualified in first in Novice FAST Preferred.

Over in the Jumpers ring, we saw the drawback of a park setting when the first two Master Jumpers dogs were distracted by a scent at the entrance to the weaves.

The only MACH dog of the trial, Olive, was up next, and didn't give the ground a second thought. She nailed the weaves and qualified with a time that would earn her High in Trial - Jumpers Preferred.

In Excellent Jumpers, Hayden was on the way to High in Trial when she stopped up at the final turn. It turns out she had stepped on a bee and was stung. That left Bossa to win High in Trial - Jumpers from the Open class, with a score of 95. Bossa gave everyone a good laugh in the weaves - without breaking her weave rhythm, she reached out to bump her nose against a butterfly and then kept weaving. Ely Mae was the final qualifier in JWW with a first place in Novice JWW Preferred.

As is often the case at DCA, the Standard ring wasn't as kind to the exhibitors. It was getting hot and the only qualifier was Olive, who earned her second Preferred High in Trial of the day in Masters Preferred and with the double Q also earned her PAX title. Congratulations Olive!

The Golden Gate Dachshund Club provided plenty of volunteers, many of whom had never been to an agility trial before. The trial couldn't have gone on without their help. We hope they all enjoyed getting to see the dogs competing as well. As helpful as the volunteers were, we never would have been able to hold the trial without professional secretary Lynda Tjarks and her course builder.

Hi Folks!

My name is Henry, and I am a dog, or so I'm told.

I am helping my Mom, Barbara Cox, by writing this article because she is very busy and she knows I will do a good job.

I am telling you that we had a great time in and out of the ring at the Dachshund Club of America Nationals this year, held in Sacramento California and hosted by the Golden Gate Dachshund Club.

Before I get into some results there are a few people who get an extra “thank you" for their help and hard work. I'll start with our two wonderful judges, Alvin Eng and Cathy Dutra. They were encouraging and very fair and also a lot of fun.

Next a huge "thank you" to Sue Holbrook, our ring steward and Jackie Combs who helped wherever she could. We couldn't have pulled it off without them.

Oh, and before I forget, we also had some other friends beside dogs – fine feathered friends, namely, geese. We shared the ring with them (the ring was outside). We had the ring during the day, and they frequented it at night. This created some issues but we worked them out.

In Obedience on Tuesday, Lee Pedersen, handling Ch. Wild West’s Maverick was HIGH IN TRIAL. On Thursday Maverick was second HIGH IN TRIAL to Duchwood’s Hide and Zeke MS UDXS OM4 . Maverick also qualified both days In Rally.

Getting back to Zeke, he also won in Open B and Utility A for HIGH IN TRIAL combined on Thursday.

Another big win belonged to Pat Price with Honey’s Diva of Kotate Hills She was first in Rally Novice and took home a big blue ribbon.

So, that pretty much says it all, or at least most of it.

We had wonderful judges, we had a lot of help and we also had great exhibitors from near and far, some as far away as Texas.

If you were there you witnessed a really good show. Sharon Carr and her team deserve a lot of credit too. It was fun writing this article and I hope to see you again soon Best wishes to all of you.

TRIATHLON DOG OF 2014 FC MACH Autumn Olive von Dorndorf VCD1 TD CD RAE MXS MJB MXPB PAX NF JE Ever since we went to our first DCA (2003 in Syracuse NY) we dreamed of one of our dachshunds qualifying in or even winning the Triathlon. So it was a dream come true when our miniature longhaired dachshund Remy qualified in the triathlon at DCA 2004 and 2007, and then was the co-winner of the DCA Triathlon in 2010.

Olive joined our household in January 2010 at age 51⁄2. Her breeder Patt Nance brought her to California for DCA Tracking and to see if she would be a good fit for us. Olive passed the DCA Tracking Test and showed great promise in agility and obedience. Patt went home with an empty Sherpa bag and Olive proceeded to earn seven new AKC titles by the end of 2010. She qualified at the DCA Agility and Rally trials in October and was a Triathlon Qualifier at her first DCA! Olive participated in the triathlon at DCA 2011 and 2012 and qualified again in 2013. As we prepared for DCA 2014 we decided that it was time for Olive to not just qualify but to WIN the Triathlon.

To win the Triathlon, Olive would need to qualify in at least three events and earn as many points as possible out of four DCA events: the DCA Field Trial, DCA Earthdog Test, DCA Agility Trial and the DCA Obedience/Rally Trial DCA Field Trial, January 22-23, Vacaville, CA: Olive is entered in the very competitive Field Champion Bitch stake, in very dry field conditions. John handles Olive to a strong first series run and we’re very hopeful. But she isn’t called back and does not receive an Award of Merit, so she earns no points from the field trial. Now she has no margin for error to even be a qualifier.

But, her litter sister Asti does receive an Award of Merit (6 points) and 2-year old Bossa wins the Open All Age Bitch stake (5 points) and Best Open and finishes her Field Championship.

DCA Earthdog Test, January 24, Vacaville, CA: Patt warned us that Olive had little interest in caged quarry and initially she was correct.

But Olive passed her first Junior Earthdog (JE) test at DCA 2012 and earned her title that June. We know that Olive must pass JE to stay alive in the Triathlon and we’re not confident that she can do it.

Diane’s heart is pounding as she releases Olive, but Olive reaches the quarry quickly and works strong for the full 60 seconds to pass JE and earn 3 Triathlon points.

Bossa also passes JE (3 points.)

We drive home from northern California with all three of our dachshunds still in the running for the Triathlon. However, Haley Harland’s dachshunds Max and Duke had strong performances in field and earthdog and were leading our girls in points.

Olive would need great performances in the spring

to win the Triathlon.

DCA Agility Trial, 5 May, Sacramento, CA: We have great hopes for Olive’s performance at DCA Agility. Olive earned her MACH title in 2012 and comes into DCA well on her way to her Preferred Agility Champion (PACH) title. But we’re worried because DCA Agility will be held outdoors with temperatures forecasted for the mid 70’s and Olive does not like running in the hot sun.

Once again Olive comes through and she and John have two nice qualifying runs. Olive is the only dachshund to qualify in both Standard and Jumpers with Weaves. She places first on both Masters Preferred runs and earns 9 Triathlon points, wins both High Scoring Preferred awards, and earns her 20th double Q, PAX title and 23 points towards her PACH. Bossa earned her Novice JWW agility title on April 25 and we gamble by moving her up to Open JWW for DCA. She rewards us by qualifying in first place (8 points) and earning the JWW High in Trial.

Having earned 16 points in field, earthdog and agility, Bossa is a 2014 Triathlon Qualifier! Asti hasn’t run in agility in several years, but stays alive as a Triathlon qualifier by winning first place in Novice FAST Preferred (2 points.)

DCA Obedience Trial, 8 May, Sacramento, CA: Olive has not qualified at any of her previous four DCA Obedience Trials. We’ve been working hard on heeling and ring confidence and very much want to qualify this time. The DCA Obedience Trial is also outdoors, on grass and in the hot sun. Diane works to keep Olive cool and happy and she qualifies in first place with a score of 188 in Veteran Novice to earn 4 more Triathlon points. Olive joins Bossa as a 2014 Triathlon Qualifier!

DCA Rally Trial, 9 May, Sacramento, CA: Asti still needs to qualify in Rally Advanced to be a Triathlon qualifier. Asti is worried about the barking dogs around the rally ring, but Diane encourages her around the ring and she does all the exercises to qualify and earn 2 points. At age 10, Asti is a Triathlon Qualifier for the first time!

48 dachshunds qualified in at least one DCA 2014 field or companion event (tracking, field, earthdog, agility, obedience or rally) and 7 qualified in two events.

Only three dachshunds qualified in three events: “Olive” FC MACH Autumn Olive von Dorndorf VCD1 TD CD RAE MXS MJB MXPB PAX NF JE (16 points) “Bossa” FC Chirribi’s Bossa Nova Baby NAJ NF JE CA (16 points) “Asti” FC Arlina Ossie von Dorndorf RE AXJ NF CA (10 points) Are Olive and Bossa going to be the co-winners of the Triathlon?

The final event is Triathlon Conformation, which is held following the completion of the DCA Rally Trial. Our dachshunds almost never show in conformation, so after a long week of competition this is a challenge.

Olive earned 2 points in her two previous outings. But this time she earns 3 points, and Bossa and Asti earn 2 points. So Olive finishes with 19 points, Bossa with 18 points, and Asti with 12 points.

And the Dachshund Club of America Triathlon Dog of 2014 is...Olive!

THE DACHSHUND CLUB OF AMERICA, INC. BOARD MEETING Thursday, May 8, 2014 Red Lion Woodlake, Sacramento, CA President Carl Holder opened the meeting at 4:06 p.m. In attendance were: Carl Holder, Ken Levison, Bob Wlodkowski, Cheryl Shultz, Denny Van Hook, Lisa Warren, Jerry Cerasini, Brian Owen, Kathy Lockyer, Robert Schwalbe, Anne Carson, Vicki Spencer, Paul Martin, Larry Sorenson, Fran Colonna, Georjan Bridger and Sharon Carr Absent: Neal Hamilton, Liz Heywood Guests present: Monika Martin

President’s Report: Carl Holder made the Board aware of the fact that DCA is an independent legally incorporated identity that is voluntarily affiliated with AKC. We are not required to be associated with AKC.

Recording Secretary: Vicki Spencer handed out the “Conflict of Interest Policy Statement” to be signed by Board Members.

Corresponding Secretary: Cheryl Shultz passed out a listing of all correspondence received from January 18th to present. With no objection, she will write a letter to Jim Crowley at the AKC inquiring if there has been a policy or procedure change as a result of our earlier letter concerning their promotion of websites selling puppies.

Treasurer’s Report: Ken Levison passed out the treasury activities from January 1, 2014 to April 30, 2014. Ken explained the report and answered questions. The 990 form was shared with the Board.

AKC Delegate’s Report: Larry Sorenson passed out a delegate’s report. Positions for the AKC Board were filled

by Ron Menaker, Dr. Charles Garvin and James Dok. AKC is now permitting clubs to offer a reduced fee for Junior Handlers entering field trials. The Board instructed Larry to vote against Article VI, section 5 which would “remove eligibility restrictions on Delegates for certain classes of persons previously excluded from approval as Delegates. It opens membership to judges who charge fees in excess of expenses; professional handlers; persons who engage in the retail sale of dog food or dog supplies; an publishers or those who promote show dogs and kennels through solicitations or acceptance of advertisements in commercial dog publications; and dog show superintendents. “ Other highlights included the AKC Board appointing a Real Estate Operations Committee to consider “all possible alternatives, including the options of one or multiple locations, and where such facility or facilities should be

located” and to reverse its decision to allow six month old puppies to participate in Coursing Ability Test. Entered dogs are again required to be at least 12 months of age to participate.

Standing Committees: Carl suggested we postpone going over the job descriptions until our next Board meeting.

Board went into executive session at 4:47 and reconvened at 5:00.

Membership Membership applications reviewed were: Kimberly Lanum - elected Jamie Sexton - elected Kathy Roth - elected Keitha and Robert Grainger (Foreign) - elected Gordon and Gayla Stueber - elected Sandra Shaw – previously elected A question concerning the confidentiality when listing New Members' information on the DCA web site was brought forth. The Board did not feel this was a problem since the “membership only” section is password protected.

A motion was adopted to place a line on the sponsorship form stating the sponsor has reviewed the new member’s application.

A motion was adopted to remove the line requiring the sponsors’ signatures on the membership application.

SPECIAL COMMITTEES Nominating Committee: Kathy Lockyer reported the following individuals have agreed to serve on the DCA nominating committee: Kathy Lockyer, Chair, Tennessee Charlotte Borghardt, Arizona Lynne Cope, North Carolina Jeff Dionne, Washington Sandi Myers, Texas The Board went into executive session at 5:38 and reconvened at 5:58.

New Business: Review of Standing Rules – Carl has a few more to review. Vicki is keeping them updated.

Anne Schmidt sent in a request for the Board to consider allowing spayed and neutered dogs/bitches to compete in the Dual Champion Class.

A motion was adopted to allow spayed and neutered dogs/bitches to compete in the Dual Champion Class for the DCA National Specialties.

A motion to allow the winner of the field trial class to be spayed/neutered was not adopted.

DCA 2015 Dedicating DCA 2015 to an individual was discussed. Without objection, the policy of not dedicating DCA to any one individual will continue.

Committee Heads will be: Judges’ Hospitality, Catalog Ads and Publicity – Dachshund Club of America

Larry Sorenson Raffle – Denise Siemssen Ways and Means – Cumberland Dachshund Club members Catalog – Anne Carson Trophy Donations – Robert Schwalbe All-In-One Form – Kathy Lockyer A motion to eliminate the DCA raffle for 2015 was defeated. A motion to develop guidelines for the raffle was adopted.

Kathy Lockyer will chair with Denise Siemssen, Georjan Bridger and Anne Carson completing the committee, A motion was adopted for DCA and Cumberland DC to work together to offer a combined Ways and Means for DCA 2015.

Business was halted at 6:00 and reconvened at 6:55.

DCA 2016 Proposal – Monika Martin presented a proposal for DCA 2016.

A motion was adopted to accept the proposal from Metropolitan Washington Dachshund Club to host DCA 2016 to be held at the Eisenhower Complex in Gettysburg, PA. DCA 2017 & Beyond – Cheryl Shultz brought to the Board’s attention that the membership has been electing future DCA National conformation judges before we have a date and site confirmed. This is problematic since our policy for National conformation judges require a 6 month and 1,000 mile quarantine. Cheryl suggested the National Specialty Advisory Committee meet to address this issue and revise the DCA Hosting Guidelines.

Denny Van Hook suggested a short education presentation be offered at each annual meeting.

Also, there was a request for a report from the DCA Health and Welfare Trust Fund to be given at the annual meeting.

The Board entered into a discussion concerning clubs willing to host the National, but unable to handle some or all of the performance events. Without objection, the National Advisory Committee will revise the DCA hosting guidelines.

Without objection, Cheryl will ask Lynne Dahlén to add the DCA judges’ nomination forms to the annual dues notices.

The next meeting will be held in Chattanooga TN on October 25th, 2014.

Meeting adjourned at 8:02 p.m.

Respectfully Submitted, Vicki Spencer, Recording Secretary continued on page 101...

Ann Wlodkowski _______________________________________ Hi Lynne, I am John Brading—thirty-year DCA member and 15-year employee of the AKC in the NC office in the events area.

I was reading the most recent newsletter and thinking about the classification of competitions recorded therein. There is common confusion in “dog-world” about the classification of event types. I noticed in the newsletter that the confusion is perpetuated in the article about “Nationals Performance Events.”

The correct classification for AKC events includes three categories. They are: Conformation Events—Includes Dog Shows, breed matches, and Junior Showmanship.

Companion Events—Includes Obedience, Rally, Tracking, and Agility Performance Events—Includes Earth Dog, Field Trials, Coursing Ability Tests (along with a number of event types in which Dachshunds don’t compete— Lure Coursing, Herding, Hunt Tests, etc.)

Many people want to classify anything that is not Conformation under the category of Performance Events. But as the manager of the

department that processes applications and results for two of the Companion Events (Agility and Rally) I assure you that these are not Performance events.

While this may seem to be insignificant differences in classifications, it often causes confusion when the Board of Directors or delegates approve a new regulation or policy that applies to Performance events only or Companion Events only.

Our customers then don’t understand why my department doesn’t follow the new regulation for Performance Events or does follow the new regulation for Companion Events.

Companion Events are far more likely to go hand-in-hand with Conformation Events, rather than Performance Events.

So, I thought you might want to keep this in mind in the arrangement/classification of Newsletter articles. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for your time.

AUTUMN, 2014

to all of the people who helped put the Nationals information together, as well as the hard-working people that compile all the statistics for the year.

Kudos to all the winners at the National events this past May. Looks like a great time! I know I’m looking forward to the next Nationals in Tennessee, that one I’ll be able to attend.

I would like some feedback from members about the specialty results that are published in the newsletter. Many years ago, that was one of the easiest ways for all of us to find out who did what at the shows. With the advent of the internet, those results are at our fingertips. Both the trophy chair, Sheila Parish, and I are finding that secretaries/show chairs no longer send results in for publication on the website or the newsletter.

Would the members still like to see results in print, or is it something we really don’t need to publish in the newsletter anymore?

On the animal welfare front: A recent discussion I was involved with on a Facebook Dog Groomer list I belong to made me shake my head. A good number of people on the list are anti-breeder and anti-pure bred dogs. Seems to me that these people are being hypocritical - they make their living from caring for dogs. Their opinions on “dog show people” were extremely disheartening. And believe it or not, many had no clue about how selective breeding resulted in various dog breeds. Obviously we are no longer an agrarian society, but it seems more and more people have absolutely no clue about animal husbandry. We have a lot of educating to do...

by Larry Sorenson AKC Delegate for Dachshund Club of America Delegate’ s Report for June 9, 2014 Meeting Held in Newark, NJ These are the highlights of the Delegates’ Meeting; a complete set of Delegates’ Meeting Minutes is located at: http://images.akc.org/pdf/delegate_minutes/June_2014.pdf Highlights from the June 9, 2014 Delegate Meeting: There was a vote on the proposed amendment to Chapter 14, New Section, of the Field Trial Rules and Standard Procedures for Retrievers.

The Qualified All-Age 2, or QA2, is a new title that can be earned in Retriever Field Trials. The QA2 title is meant to acknowledge an intermediate level of achievement in order to encourage participants to remain in the sport and their club. The amendment was adopted.

This Passed easily. LLS There was a vote on the proposed amendment to ARTICLE VI, SECTION 5, of The Charter and Bylaws of the American Kennel Club. The Bylaw Committee withdrew the second portion of the amendment which deals with cruelty convictions, which is already covered under Dachshund Club of America

AUTUMN, 2014

There was a lot of discussion about this proposal.

This was probably about delegate judges being able to charge a fee. It had very little support from the delegates. I estimate it only received forty percent of the vote. LLS The Chair called on Peter Farnsworth, who gave the financial report. A summary follows: AKC’ s Revenues for the four months ended April 2014 were approximately $19.7 million, while Operating Expenses during this same time period were $17.3 million, resulting in Operating Income of $2.4 million for four months. In line with the markets, our investments returns were overall unremarkable, but generated a gain of $400 thousand for the first four months of this year. Both the Operating Results and the continued on next page...

AKC News continued from page 101 Balance Sheet remain healthy.

There is hope that AKC may be bottoming out for registration numbers. Let’ s hope it is true this time. LLS The Chair called on Alan Slay, Director of Events Programs, to provide an update on the progress made on the processing of applications and judges panels. Mr. Slay spoke as follows: Thank you, Dennis. At the last Delegate meeting I told you that we were going to improve our customer service and I would come back here and let you know how we’re doing.

I’m happy to report we’re doing very well in the processing of applications and panels as well as results. We have been concentrating on the timely initial processing of application panels and then letting our customers know the status of that processing. We have streamlined some processes, we have modified our workflow, some of our newer staff members have taken on additional responsibility, and we’ve worked some extra hours. The manager of that area, Tabitha Sheppard, has done a great job overseeing these improvements. Currently we’re averaging eight days for the initial processing of applications and panels. That is the lowest that average has been since 2011, and it’s

about a third of where we were at when I was here in March. We have other improvements and modifications that we’ve identified that we’ll be implementing in the next weeks and months. Additionally, we have a member of our Audit and Control Department who has experience in business process analysis and we’ve engaged her to help our department.

She’s currently interviewing our team members and reviewing our processes. She is going to make suggestions of how we can further improve.

I’m also happy to report that while we’ve been focusing on the applications and panels we’re also doing very well in the processing of results. We’ re averaging about eight days or less to process results, and we’ll continue to do that. I appreciate all the feedback that both you and our other customers have given me since I’ve been here last. We appreciate the time you volunteer, and we do understand you are volunteers, for the clubs. I thank you for the time that you have given me to talk to you and we’ll continue to do a better job with our customer service. If you have anything you’ d like to discuss with me personally I’ll be here after the meeting and I welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Thank you.

I know many of our clubs are having trouble with show approvals and other things in Event Plans. I am not sure things are as good as stated. Here is Alan Slay s phone number and email address: 919 816 3806; alc@akc.org. LLS

The following discussions took place in the committee meetings.

There was a lot of discussion about the judging approval process in the committee meetings and the need for more group judges.

The judges’ approval process most certainly will change, to what and how I am not sure. It should be less complicated and easier. I will say, one point that seems to come through, is the AKC Field Rep. will be less involved in the process.

There is GREAT concern for the drop in dog show entries. AKC is tracking the number of breeds that are now on the “low entry breeds list”. This is a list that is growing. In round numbers, of the 180 AKC breeds recognized; 81 of them are on the list. Five to ten more breeds are expected to be placed on the list next year.

This list is located on the AKC website as the 2014 Low Entry Breeds List: http://images.akc.org/pdf/judges/LowBreedEntryList.pdf Take a look; I think you will be surprised and concerned at the breeds on the list. LLS At the last Board Meeting, the Board made the National Owner-Handler Series (NOHS) mandatory if a club is having special attractions being offered at the events. This DID NOT sit well the clubs. After a lot of discussion the Chairman of the Board stated this will be changed for parent and specialty clubs but NOT for all breed clubs. I think the NOHS will be good for the sport in the future. It gives the owner-handler more opportunities to achieve more recognition. !

Legislative News

by Gail LaBerge

The state legislative season is over for many states in the country, but some are having special sessions at this time. It is very important that each of us continues to monitor legislation in our own states. As I write this, AKC, our members and others in the Fancy are in a fight in North Carolina to prevent the transfer of animal protection from the Department of Agriculture and also to prevent a definition of commercial breeder that could include all of us. Hopefully, by the time you read this, it would have been a successful fight for our side.

AKC Government Relations, as I write this, has created a Facebook page for those active in legislation. This page will be open to legislative liaisons and should be an asset for all us on a daily base.

If you are a legislative liaison for a club, I would appreciate your dropping me an e-mail, as I want to compile a list of all DCA members who are legislative liaisons. It will help form a quick way of contacting each of you when we need you to assist on legislative issues in your area.

As usual, please monitor proposed ordinances in your local area. It is much easier for local ordinances to be passed that will affect dog owners and breeders than state or federal legislation.

It can’t be said enough, get to know your County Commissioner or City Councilman, as you want to become what they consider their expert on canine issues. I also recommend getting to know your state representative and state senator. It is much easier to reach out to them when animal legislation arises, if you have already made an initial contact. We must be active if we are going to win the battle to retain our rights to breed and own dogs.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me; I am always available to talk with you.

AUTUMN, 2014

“Dogs are minor angels, and I don’t mean that facetiously. They love unconditionally, forgive immediately, are the truest of friends, willing to do anything that makes us happy, etcetera. If we attributed some of those qualities to a person we would say they are special. If they had ALL of them, we would call them angelic.

But because it’s “only” a dog, we dismiss them as sweet or funny but little more. However when you think about it, what are the things that we most like in another human being?

Many times those qualities are seen in our dogs every single day – we’re just so used to them that we pay no attention.”

AUTUMN, 2014

Associated Dog Clubs of New York State Submitted by Barbara Axel In 1970 or 1971 New York State quietly tried to slip through an anti-breeder dog law complete with differential licensing. The late Gordon Carvill, a past president of DCA who lived near Albany found out and alerted breeders throughout the state. An uproar by said hobby breeders forced the legislature to hold hearings in many locations that are actually required by law before passing such legislation. It was decided afterward that all sides should be represented to hammer out an equitable law.

Because of this Associated Dog Clubs of New York State was formed. Gordon was its first president.

At about the same time Gordon was elected as president of ADOA. He remained at these posts until he became terminally ill many years later.

I know because I was there, as a delegate from several subsequent clubs and on the board of ADCNYS, and as VP for a short time. We made the license law our first order of business and actually did help formulate and pass an equitable state dog licensing law some years later.

Another name you might know is Blanche Schoning, delegate from Riverhead Kennel Club, another well known dachshund owner, breeder, and exhibitor.

So you see, ADCNYS is not a “Johnny come lately”, but an organization with well established ties not only to the dachshund fancy, but to dog legislation and an organization to be respected for preventing detrimental legislation to hobby breeders and promoting legislation in our favor. It was the first organization of its kind in New York State, and since its inception has helped the emergence of many dog clubs across the United States that emulate its goals.

Frank Losey needs no introduction. He is a long time attorney with much experience, but for those who are interested you might look here: http://www.humanewatch.org/the_humanewatch They need our individual and club support. ____________________________________
