Editorial

The American Kennel Club was founded 134 years ago primarily as an organization devoted to wealthy sportsmen devoted to promoting the breeding and use of purebred dogs. It has grown through the years into a form of a major business corporation unlike most other businesses since it is in reality a not-for-profit type organization. As we enter the New Year of 2015, which is our 31st year of consecuIt’s Board of Directors, which is charged with the actual runtive weekly publication, we have not only increased our On-Line Service but ning of the corporation, has attempted from time to time to there have been appreciable changes made to our Print format in an effort to change the original Constitution and By-Laws under which modernize DOG NEWS and to keep up with the times.

And more than mere advertising vehicles that ignore the realities of what goes on so one is forced to ask who is responsible for these errors in judgment and who if anyone in our sport. Our intent then and now is to report the most diverse, impartial, should pay the piper! Let’s take the COO first-just prior to the March meeting of 2014 factual information to our readers, who we believe are the backbone of this at which the elections were held when the Board went in to vote on the four officers as sport.

Reflection

s I t I y a

By Sari Brewster Tietjen

e h T W

2014 is over and we rang in 2015 with shows starting on the first day of the New Year and already are off with a bang as if the Holidays were nary a bump in the road. But before we all go crazy and start bitching about this and that, we really need to reflect on the past year and see if we have learned maybe a little something.

hat did the past year bring us? Well, we had not one, but two dogs vying for the “top dog” designation each accumulating well over 100,000 dogs defeated during the year as they criss-crossed this country in pursuit of that famed (or as some say ego-driven, immaterial) top dog status. In order to achieve this, these dogs had to be shown almost every day that there was a dog show in the country – regardless of the date or place. They were too close in numbers to stay home, off the road or airplane, and be just dogs. Fortunately, they are both “show dogs” – dogs that love the excitement, the fuss, and, yes, even the travelling experiences. But it is not just these top dogs. Our dog sport has evolved in such a fashion that at almost all levels from the breed on up to the group and top twenty or whatever – with the number of shows now being offered, the four and five-day clusters or even longer if you discount the one day break, the more a dog is shown – assuming that it is reasonable in quality – the more likely it is to win something and acquire dogs defeated points towards whatever goal is being

sought. What does this mean? An owner, who has a regular job and regards his/her involvement in dogs as a hobby will, in most instances, need to send the dog off with a handler if the desire is to have the dog be in top status contention for whatever goal. Of course, this not only deprives the owner from being able to show his/her own dog, but also is very expensive. Handlers do not come cheap. All of this is without discussing the cost of advertising – something that should not be necessary – but, in reality, does work on some judges. These are the judges who either do not know the breeds, are insecure, and/or just do not care. They view their presence in the ring as only to point to a familiar face for whatever reason. A sad situation for everyone who cares about our sport, but one that has lasted probably since the beginning of dog shows as we know them – it is just that the proliferation of shows and judges has compounded the problem. The judging situation aside, what all of the above means is that for the most part our “hobby” requires a lot of money if one Continued on page 204

Goodwill Every year we struggle to create and implement the perfect New Year’s resolution. Often this act of annual self-improvement kick-starts our year on a positive note, and if you are like me, over the age of 50, you have a 14% chance of succeeding. In reality, the self-improvement industry relies on New Year’s Resolutions gone awry to stay in business. New Year’s Day 2015, 7:27 AM, I sit in bed, coffee in hand, Murphy French, the French Bulldog, snuggles against my left side with me having not had the time to establish the perfect resolution. I reflect upon my selfimprovement needs. With so many to choose, I find it difficult to select one. Do I lose weight? Do I offer to volunteer for more organizations? Do I quit drinking wine? Do I recycle? Do I attempt another degree? Do I find the perfect miracle for hair loss? Do I save more money? Do I get organized? Do I apply for more breeds? Do I replace my ancient semi-operating DROID? Or, do I purchase a new Black-Ballistic-Nylon-Rolling-Garment-Bag? (My treasured traveling companion bit the dust during my last weekend of shows in 2014. R.I.P., my old friend.) I opt to not struggle with the decision and continue to savor the hot cup of java. Big Michael marches up the stairs, plops down on the bed with his trusted Samsung hand-held smart phone glued

to his face. “You know, every year I struggle to establish the perfect New Year’s Eve resolution, but this year---through the help of a friend and her personal challenge---I have come up with the perfect solution.” Big Michael continues to preface the actual resolution with an additional six minutes of conversation leading up to the big reveal. I have grown accustomed to this very “Southern” method of communicating, and I believe, in 2001 my New Year’s resolution was to be a more patient listener and not say---in my Yankee-bred way---“Just get to the damn point and forget all the fluff. We just wasted fifteen minutes when all you had to tell me was that you were going to start buying a different brand of toilet paper.” I continue to listen, despite the urge to chew my knuckles. “You see Lisa has challenged me to remove one thousands items from the house before the end of the week. These personal items can either be only trash-worthy, or items that I should donate to the Goodwill.” I repress the sudden urge to spew hot coffee all over the duvet and Murphy French due to the fact Big Michael is the consummate hoarder/ collector and he cannot refrain from searching through every bag of trash I remove from the house—when he is certain that I am not looking. “WOW! That is the best New Year’s resolution I have ever heard. I am so proud of you. When are you starting?” I gleefully ask. “I have already removed one hundred sixty-two items while you remained in bed, with only eight hundred thirty-eight to go. And, the best part, I challenge you to do the same.” Big Michael, over the next two days and over four trips to Goodwill, successfully completes his One ThouContinued on page 132

Question of the week By Matthew H. Stander

As reported in the December Board Minutes Pat Cruz moved WITHOUT any other Board Member seconding her motion to postpone for a year and abandon the Judges Approval proposal in its present form because of the lack of responses to over 70,000 inquiries: the limited response time for discussion and the proper polling of membership of All-Breed and Parent Clubs alike and the clarification in wording AFTER the survey was sent out--and that the Board give the Judges Task Force Committee one more year to reconsider the matter.

Were You Surprised That Not One Other Board Member Supported Ms. Cruz In This Matter?

Carl Liepmann As a member of several Boards I have always recommended that any members motion be seconded so that discussion could follow. Also I consider it a courtesy to a fellow member. Even though I may disagree with the motion I understand that the person making it believes in its worthiness.

Bonnie Threlfall I am no longer surprised about anything. Bob Smith No, I am not surprised. Unseconded motions, while admittedly rare, are not unheard of on the AKC board; I remember

a number of such motions during my years on the Board. Secondly, I have always been convinced that this board is totally enamored of the proposal they concocted and were determined to implement it despite any and all objections or input they received.

Terry Stacy

No I was not surprised. I should think the Board Members feel it is their responsibility to make these decisions. Certainly, they should have used all the recourses possible in making this decision. They have an excellent Staff that should provide them with the best input they could receive. I think polling all the Clubs and the Fancy is nothing but creating mass confusion. Board Members are elected to create policy. It is my feeling that particularly a consensus of the Field Staff would provide the Board with information to form policy. It is my opinion that very few of the 70,000 polled even care and for sure do not have the knowledge or experience to decide what is needed to approve judges.

Dr. Greg Paveza

Was I surprised that no one seconded Ms. Cruz’s motion? Once I’d taken the time to review the Board Minutes, the answer is not really. This seems to have been largely a parliamentary move on Ms. Cruz’s part. Since the Board had already approved Mr. Kalter’s motion to delay consideration to February at the earliest (12 yea – 1 nay), and Ms. Cruz was the one no vote, the usual parliamentary move to reopen a discussion, that is, a motion to reconsider, was not open to Ms. Cruz. So the only real alternative was for Ms. Cruz to offer a replacement motion. While another member of the Board might have seconded the motion, allowing for discussion, given the vote on the previous 22 Dog News

motion by Chairman Kalter, it is unlikely that the motion would have passed in any event. So without getting into mind reading, it would seem that the other members of the board probably felt they had just had this discussion and there was no need to revisit the discussion. A couple of quick additional thoughts. The two motions as stated in the minutes have the purpose of postponing consideration of the revised judging approval process for a period of time. Mr. Kalter’s motion sets a date by which consideration can happen at the earliest, Ms. Cruz’s motion simply holds that consideration off for a year. One motion allows for consideration when the board believes it is ready to act, it does not require the board to act in February. The other would preclude any action for a year and would refer it back to the committee chaired by Dr. Garvin. The underlying difference, at least based on what one can glean from the minutes, is a philosophical one about the process used to solicit input about the new judging approval process and whether the responses to the survey were sufficient to allow the board to take into consideration concerns and objections and move forward. It is clear from the minutes that the majority of the members felt that Mr. Kalter’s motion more clearly reflected the board’s sense.

Bill Shelton Is it not just a house of cards? And would it really matter how and by whom breeders would

like their dogs judged? As a judge and someone who could selfishly benefit from this new process, I don’t see it helping my breeding program or any serious breeders of dogs. I commend the board for trying to improve on the previous system, it seriously needed it. We however need more quality, not quantity. We obviously have approved far too many shows, and now need someone, anyone, to adjudicate at all of them. If this was a business model, would we ever open more franchises (shows) without trained and qualified personal (judges)? Rather than quickly and easily processing through the system more generic, untrained eyes on our breeding stock, why don’t we focus on better training, and EDUCATION for the ones we have. With so many shows most every week, we have only succeeded in plummeting the competition, and point schedules to the bare minimum. At the top end of competition those great dogs are seldom brought together to compete today. Making records easily, the likes not seen in previous years. All of this is being done with an eye not based on valued experienced opinions, just simply more of them. Let’s get back to some semblance of quality not quantity. And, Thank you, Pat Cruz for asking the board to step back for a moment and deliberate all the ramifications of any judges approval system. Why don’t we first consider those long time successful breeders’ opinions, the process and qualifications they would like to see implemented for judges to judge their breeding stock, rather than asking the judges?

Charlotte Patterson Surprised? No. Disappointed ? Yes. It seems it would benefit all to take more time to study any new system that affects our sport as much as Judges Approval. We have in the past tried many systems and now a chance to improve again. Let’s get it right this time.

VIVE LA DIFFERENCE? By Geir Flyckt-Pedersen First and foremost: A Happy and Prosperous 2015 to y’all! This is the time of the year to ponder about what happened during the last 12 months- the year we will remember as 2014! Surely a lot of good memories, but of course as always, a mix of good and bad! I have no clue what the general opinion was about this year’s AKC/ Eukanuba show in Orlando compared to previous years when the show was very much imprinted by the “International Flavor”? For those of us who grew up in a world where Quarantine was restricting our opportunities to compete against our European, British as well as American friends- this AKC/Eukanuba event in the US was simply another old dream coming through. And it gave so many European breeders and exhibitors- most of them- a once in a lifetime chance to bring their dogs across the Atlantic to compete against all those famous American breeders and handlers. I guarantee that most of them returned home, filled with inspiration, new ideas and enthusiasm. That this International event on US territory came to an end has been met with disappointment from all quarters, but those who thought that this would be the end of this show must have been disappointed. I thoroughly enjoyed my days at the show- and I still felt it had its kind of magic atmosphere. Apart from Westminster, where would you get a chance like this to see so many of the country’s top dogs served on a plate?? And because of the number of all breed shows in the same venue, have the interesting experience of observing the enormous variety in different judges’ ideals and interpretation of breed standards! An interesting point is that while we see such a variety of opinions in breed judging, they all seem to agree when it comes to the dogs that at any given time dominate the Group and Best in Show competitions… Of course there were a few incidents that were classified as sensational, disgraceful and unsportsmanlike. All adding to the flavor and giving people something to gossip about for the next few weeks. In a case or two we all won-

26 Dog News

der what the final outcome will be? Sadly we had to leave before the Grand Finale on Sunday, but according to my informants it was very memorable. This year, with no international events to keep an eye on I made it my mission to watch as many of my newer breeds as possible. Just to conclude that in some cases: Just do whatever you feel like, for just about any reason. Of course anybody who shared my own ideas of breed ideals were right- and I think most of them did an excellent job. But, whatever happens, it is just our variance in taste, which makes this hobby so interesting. Provided the decisions are based on knowledge and not on guesses! Whenever I had the chance I tried to take a look at the routine and procedure of our more experienced judges. Watching them judge large classes of this caliber can in most cases be an eye opener and a learning experience for all of us. Even if I have been judging for many years now (in some people’s opinion probably too many!!!) I wonder how I can make judging more interesting for the exhibitors as well as the ringside. It is so easy to fall into a pattern which may be rational from a timing point of view, but which makes you act like a robot. If ever asked I recommend newer judges to watch “Flagships” like Bivin, Reeve-Newson, Forsyth, Stenmark, McDermott plus a number of other judges with impressive CVs– and observe how they dress plus handle dogs as well as people. Just by chance this year I happened to watch that Welshman Andrew Brace in action in a couple of breeds. Some classes of Boxers, but then missed the breed competition. The next day I watched him judging Ridgebacks and was very impressed. Not necessarily agreeing with all his decisions (then what do I know about that breed you may ask?) but as I was very impressed with the way he did it. I am sure most of the exhibitors in a large entry of the breed felt they were “in competition” all the time, which I as an exhibitor would have greatly appreciated myself. And the way he organized the Breed ring at the end I suppose gave a few people something to think about. But of course, if you judge all over the world week after week you should be good at it-although I during my many years in this game have witnessed that it is not always the case.

s most of you know Jim McTernan passed on just a few months ahead of his beloved wife Marjorie. Marjorie became ill seven years ago way prior to Jim. They were a magical couple both in and out of dogs. Both were fierce competitors who began in Old English and moved onto Sealys, Scotties and Norfolks. Jim and Marjorie secured a Norfolk from the famed English breeder Joy Taylor primarily through the efforts of Peter Green. They took to the breed like ducks to water and it was around the early ‘70’s we became friendly

and eventually best of friends. Their success in the breed was noteworthy and their relationship with their handler Larry Cornelius an exemplary example of how loyalty and trust is developed in those instances when dealing with honorable people in the dog world can be. We all know how deeply Larry feels about their passing. As to Marjorie and me we were both avid readers. She introduced me to author Vince Flynn and his cast of characters in his books, especially Mitch Rapp. She had perfect recall as to each character and the part they played in Flynn’s books. We could switch gears and talk politics with long discussions about the Middle East. She loved anything historic and could recall dates of events at a moment’s notice. Her memory was unbelievable; people, places, things she just had the ability of remembering it all. Marjorie was a major fan of PBS and adored the Downton Abbey series. She and Henrietta Lachman discussed the series as if each character were real. Marjorie would give me a recap after she and Henrietta spoke. There was the sports side of 30 Dog News

her, too. She was an avid fan of professional football and we both agreed Vick should have been thrown out of the sport. She enjoyed watching bicycle races and I would say, “Boring.” We discussed tennis during major events. Marjorie was girl of many interests. And she loved fashion and make-up. Thank you Marjorie for introducing me to Lancôme’s eyelash booster. I’d be lost without it. On several occasions she met my parents and fell head over heels in love with my dad. They both liked their evening cocktail. I remember when they were moving to Punta Gorda with Marjorie wondering why. Still she made the best of it becoming friendly with her southern neighbors. Jim had his boat and golf; all was well in Never Never Land. When my niece Jemma was

diagnosed with ALS Marjorie helped walk me through it. When Marjorie took ill at Montgomery dog show about 7 years ago the tables turned and I was cheering her on. Jim was a fantastic caregiver even putting his own illness aside to be there for her. Both McTernans became my listening board each time I needed to discuss something important concerning the Norfolk Terrier Club. Jim served as our Nominating Chair one year and Marjorie was our Delegate to the American Kennel Club. No longer are we able to speak two three times a day but in my heart I will always be speaking with them. They will each be missed for their honesty, integrity and genuine friendship, which they shared with many.

THE Westminster TIMES 139th Dog Show, Agility and Meet the Breeds Kerrin Winter Churchill / Westminster KC

Westminster. There’s only one.

hat’s been true since 1877, as the world’s most famous and prestigious canine event – The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show – has continually added to its inimitable legacy and its celebration of dogs with each ensuing year.

40 Dog News

In 2015, it will happen once again with The 139th Annual Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show. In fact, this year Westminster will be three, bringing more dogs, more events, and more competition as it adds two components preceding the show to its Westminster Week: its 2nd Annual Masters Agility Championship at Westminster and The Westminster Kennel Club presents AKC Meet the Breeds brought to you by Purina Pro Plan. All Westminster Week events are supported and presented by Purina Pro Plan.

The iconic dog show, on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 16-17 in New York City, features an entry of 2,711 as it extends its standing as the second-longest continuously-held sporting event in this country, behind only the Kentucky Derby. There are entries in all 192 breeds and varieties eligible for this year’s show. Golden Retrievers have the largest entry with 58, followed closely by Labrador Retrievers with 56. The entry includes two breeds newly recognized by the American Kennel Club that are eligible for Westminster for the first time: Coton de Tulears in the Non-Sporting Group (14) and Wirehaired Vizslas in the Sporting Group (4). There are 117 foreign entries and 88 entries in Junior Showmanship.

Judging for the all breed show takes place in two different venues. Breed judging, benching and Junior Showmanship preliminary competition will take place during the days Monday and Tuesday at Piers 92/94. Group and Best In Show judging, as well as the Junior Showmanship Finals, will be held at Madison Square Garden on Monday and Tuesday evenings, as has been the case virtually every year since the show began. On Monday and Tuesday, America’s Dog Show will also feature live television coverage on CNBC and USA Network, as well as live streaming video to the website and on the Westminster App. The evening competition will be televised live each night from 8-11 p.m. ET and 5-8 p.m. PT. Monday’s telecast of the Hound, Toy, Non-Sporting and Herding Groups will be on CNBC. Tuesday’s telecast will be on USA Network and will include the Sporting, Working and Terrier Groups, as well as Best In Show.

he world’s greatest canine athletes will compete in the world’s most exciting canine sport in the 2nd Annual Masters Agility Championship at Westminster at Pier 94. The 2015 trial features an increase in the entry limit to 330 (quickly reached) and is limited to dogs that have attained Master titles, raising the quality and the intensity of the competition. The competition will feature dogs of 72 breeds (led by 49 Border Collies and 45 Shetland Sheepdogs) and also 13 mixed breeds (All American dogs). The All American category is once again significant, bringing non-purebred dogs to a Westminster event last year and this year for the first time since the very earliest days of the show. Saturday night’s finals will be taped for national broadcast on FOX Sports 1 on Sunday, Feb. 15 from noon-2 p.m. ET.

Dog lovers will have the opportunity to interact with hundreds of canines and their people at Pier 92, while the Agility Trial is going on next door. With more than 100 dog breeds expected to be participating, attendees can learn about each dog from the experts themselves – breeders, enthusiasts, trainers and groomers. The public will get the chance to learn about responsible pet ownership and what breeds might be right for their lifestyle and their family. The combined entry of the three events means that more than 3,000 dogs will be on hand from all over the country for Westminster Week in 2015.

He graduated from James Monroe High School in Southern California, and had already been to a few dog shows by then. His first “real” showdog was a black Toy Poodle male named “Herman,” Ch Rogers Happy Hobo. He was working for the incomparable Frank Sabella at the time, and Frank handled Herman to become a multiple Group Winner. He was so very fortunate to become involved in dogs during the Golden Years of the early 60’s. Great Gary Wittmeier at the 1995 WKC with his beloved “Baseball;” shows…Great judges… Edd Bivin, Judge; and Robert V. Lindsey, presenter. Great breeders and Great camaraderie. He learned it all from the best our sport had to offer, and California, he moved to Topanga Canyon where he used and shared that knowledge throughout his had a long running friendship with Pamela Ingram life. of the famed Sassafras Kennels. More knowledge He left California in the early 70’s for Ohio consumed, and while Gary began his career as where he worked for Buddy Dickey for a few a handler, the fruition of all that he had learned years, and established ties on the East Coast Continued on page 140 that he always treasured.

You Yourvet

By Merry Fitzgerald, DVM.

If my dog eats something strange, should I make her throw up? What should I use?

Dogs swallow anything and everything all the time. Here are some guidelines to follow when deciding whether or not to induce emesis (vomiting). A call to a poison control hot line for advice is always a good idea in these situations. Emesis should NOT be induced if the dog is showing signs of poisoning, such as a rapid heart rate, tremors, extreme agitation, listlessness or drowsiness. If the dog has ingested a toxin that is corrosive or irritating to the mouth, esophagus and stomach, vomiting can cause further damage. If 1 to 2 hours have passed since the dog has eaten the toxin, it is likely to have moved out of the stomach and vomiting will not help. If emesis is recommended, the use of appropriate, effective, safe emetic agents is important. The only at-home emetic agent currently recommended for dogs is hydrogen peroxide. You can give a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide orally at a dose of 1 milliliter per pound to your dog. This will cause irritation of the mouth, throat and stomach lining which will make your dog vomit. Be aware that excessive use of hy66 Dog News

drogen peroxide may lead to severe bloody stomach irritation and in rare situations, bloat or ulcers. Once the vomiting has started, it can go on after all the undesired material has come up. Careful monitoring is required. Your veterinarian can prescribe the powerful emetic agent, apomorphine hydrochloride, which comes in the form of a tiny tablet. When the tablet or part of the tablet is placed in the lower eyelid (subconjunctival sac), it is absorbed into the bloodstream and quickly causes emesis by stimulating the central nervous system chemoreceptor trigger zone. The eye should be rinsed well after administration to prevent irritation to the eye. Methods of inducing vomiting that are no longer recommended include digital induction, syrup of ipecac, salt, soap, and mustard powder. Side effects of these methods include injury to the mouth and throat, prolonged vomiting, bloody vomiting or diarrhea, lethargy and cardiac toxicity.

Have you heard of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Tumor Paintâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;?

This is a fascinating, new protein-linked dye derived from scorpion venom that lights up cancer cells. It was developed by Dr. Jim Olson and clinical trials at Washington State University have shown beneficial results in treating dogs with cancer. The re-engineered molecule found in the venom of the deathstalker scorpion latches onto malignant cancer cells, making the diseased tissue glow brightly and distinctly against normal tissues. It is injected intravenously before the surgery. Using tumor paint and an infrared camera, surgeons are better able to detect and remove cancerous cells while leaving healthy cells behind. The fluorescent substance prefers tumor cells over normal cells, allowing surgeons to visualize the borders of a tumor. When used on cancers of the leg, amputation of the limb can be avoided. Many animal tumors resemble those that affect humans, so it is hoped that as WSU uses the technology to help dogs, it will provide information that is applicable to human cancers.

How can I protect my dog against kennel cough?

Kennel cough, also known as infectious tracheobronchitis, is one of most common canine respiratory infections. It is caused by a combination of infections, both viral and bacterial, which result in inflammation of a dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s larynx

V e t eT orp ii cns a r y S

By Connie Vanacore

o we begin a new year, full of promise and hope for health, prosperity and happiness in whatever endeavors give us blessings. Lately on my Facebook pages there have been pictures of several litters of Irish Setter puppies. Their eager, soft, beguiling faces fill me with joy and the pleasure of hoping that these little puppies will grow into the beautiful, regal companions that their breeders pray they will be. Caring for a litter of puppies has always been a special joy and also a heartfelt worry for a breeder who has planned for, bred and raised these little lives and then watched them go off to their new homes. It has been for us an adventure full of hope, promise and trepidation. No matter how carefully one tries to screen potential owners, there is always the fear that one of those precious lives will go to a home that is not just right. We have been fortunate in that during the days when we have bred occasional litters the new owners have turned out for the most part to be worthy of the privilege of becoming loving slaves to our puppies. I love to see the proud breeders display their little treasures for the world to see, and I am pleased that most of those photos show really pretty puppies with sturdy bodies and melting faces. I can hardly wait to see how some of these little lives turn out as they mature and make their marks on the world. We wish all of them long, healthy, happy lives wherever they find themselves.

AVMA Foundation

The American Veterinary Medical Foundation is an offshoot of AVMA, whose purpose is to create awareness of the important work that veterinarians do. In many states veterinary associations have hosted events designed to make communities that house veterinary colleges aware of their importance. A few of these events are noted here, with the hope that their success in engaging their constituents will inspire other veterinary colleges to do the same. Students and faculty of Auburn University College of Veterinary Medicine, together with the Alabama VMA, put on an event for the public on the university campus in September. Their Animal Emergency Response trailer was manned with student volunteers to educate the public on 70 Dog News

how to care for animals during an emergency, such as a natural disaster. In California the University of California Davis School of Veterinary Medicine hosted a multispecies adoption event featuring free veterinary exams and consults, vaccinations. heartworm testing and microchipping by veterinary students, under the supervision of faculty. There were also 4-H clubs and dog training professionals to help and demonstrate obedience training, grooming, rabbit showmanship and dog tricks that owners can adapt for their own pets. In Michigan the Michigan State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lansing Center held an event in November documenting ways to decrease the number of local homeless animals and increasing awareness of their need for homes. In Nebraska, the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Professional Program in Veterinary Medicine sponsored a community outreach event at the Science complex where dogs could receive $10 microchips and $2 nail trims. There were also agility and hunting dog demonstrations, a petting zoo and lectures by area veterinarians on pet first aid, the importance of regular check ups and veterinary dentistry. Two events took place last year in New York State. Underprivileged residents in one housing complex were able to bring their pets for check ups by students of the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. The second outreach program was held by three of the Veterinary Medical Associations in Western New York State. Members of the Cornell veterinary and pre-vet programs along with a veterinary medical technology program took part. In Ohio the Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine organized four events on the same day: a spay-neuter clinic, wellness clinic, six mobile wellness teams and two farmersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; market community outreach groups. 75 volunteers, mostly OSU students, faculty, interns and staff, along with local veterinarians participated. They focused on the prevention of communicable diseases, particularly at dog parks and county fairs. In Oregon two events were held last September: emphasis was held on prevention of infectious diseases, food safety and pet disaster preparedness.

It was news to me that the AKC was proposing to require beginner Novice, Open and Utility classes. It doesn’t make any sense to offer intermediate classes for Open and Utility. But there is a lot to be said for Beginner Novice. I have judged it and it fulfills the AKC’s intention of easing folks from Rally into Obedience. The beginner novice heeling pattern uses signs from Rally.

The AKC and Obedience B By Patricia Gail Burnham

asically the AKC has a problem. In theory they started Rally to let exhibitors work into Obedience gradually. But Rally is now more popular than Obedience. It is a lot easier to qualify in Rally than in Obedience. And it is a lot more fun to qualify in Rally than to fail to qualify in Obedience. People were not moving on from Rally to Novice Obedience. That is why they created the Beginner Novice class. And it does seem to be working. Lots of Beginner Novice dogs have gone on to earn Companion Dog Titles. So that class seems to be functioning as intended. However offering introductory classes for Open and Utility doesn’t make any sense. By the time an exhibitor has committed to training for Open and Utility they are already hooked on Obedience. The old Graduate Novice class was essentially a Beginner Open class, and it has never drawn big entries. One of the main problems with the shrinking Obedience entries is that clubs need to hire judges who can judge all the classes in a trial. That and the AKC has blocked novice judges from getting the experience that they need to move on to Open and Utility. A few

years ago I completed my seventh Novice judging assignment, with the two required positive evaluations, and applied for regular status. Only to be told that I would have to judge 150 novice dogs. With entries what they are now that would require judging novice more than fifteen times before you could apply for the next class. Where else in the AKC are you required to judge 15 provisional classes before qualifying to advance? This makes the judging approval process for conformation look simple. In conformation I was told that whatever rules you were first approved under would apply to your whole career. When I first started judging Novice Obedience the requirement was judging three provisional assignments, with two positive evaluations. There was no specified number of dogs that needed to be judged. Now there is, and with entries down so much, nobody who is currently provisional for novice is going to live long enough to advance to Open and

Utility. And since trials need judges who can judge all the classes, I am curious as to why the AKC is creating a roadblock to the creation of future Obedience judges. The current obedience judges aren’t getting any younger. If the AKC wants to create a new class lets go back to the plan in the 1970’s to create a UDX class. A class beyond Utility with new exercises. That was widely talked about and looked forward to only to have it scrapped in favor of the OTCH, (Obedience Trial Champion) which just used the same old classes and a new rating system to earn points. The OTCH was quite simply the reason that obedience entries have plummeted. In the old days most folks did obedience to earn titles on their dogs. And these were dogs of all breeds, not just the top five obedience breeds: Border Collies, Poodles, Golden Retrievers, Shetland Sheepdogs, Malinois, etc. Yes, the best workers competed in the advanced classes for national ratings but for the most part they also encouraged folks with odd breeds to pursue their titles. My class instructor had a multi 200 point Number one Irish Setter. The AKC said what the purpose of obedience was, “To demonstrate the usefulness of pure bred dogs as companions of man.” And that is just what titling all those odd breeds did. Exhibitors who are driven in pursuit of OTCH points are not nearly as generous or encouraging to folks that just want to earn non-OTCH titles as the old top competitors were.

ORLANDO MAGIC

Judge Mr. Ken McDermott awards Terrier Group First at the 1996 Westminster Kennel Club to Ch. Finnsky Oliver, handled by Eugene Z. Zaphiris.

By Pat Trotter

t’s been half a century since Walt Disney purchased vast amounts of virgin land in the Orlando, FL area to create Disney World and enable tourists from all over the planet to enjoy the magic. The magical American Kennel Club show sponsored by Eukanuba totally captured that spirit as well as the spirit of the season. Surrounded by beautiful landscaping and world class hotels, the Orange County Convention Center is simply awesome with more than two million square feet of floor space. The Eukanuba/AKC National Championship Show utilizes half of that area with various events ranging from educational seminars to a multitude of canine conformation shows, obedience competitions and agility activities including the popular Meet the Breeds Program. This extravaganza is a fitting finale to a wonderful year of exciting competition amongst America’s top dogs. And the top dog BIS honor at 78 Dog News

this year’s event went to the Skye Terrier GCh. Cragsmoor Good Time Charlie under judge Ron Menaker. Handled by Larry Cornelius, this homebred was sent to the finals by Terrier Group judge Karen Wilson. Owned by Victor Malzoni, Jr. with Cragmoor Kennels and bred by Gene Zaphiris and Matt Stander, he is the son of their Ch. Finnsky Oliver (by frozen semen) out of Ch. Cragsmoor Adele Goodwoman. Charlie’s dam was named after the mother of the late Walter Goodman, who did so much to bring the Skye Terrier to prominence in the United States. The Goodmans’ Ch.Glamoor Good News was BIS at Westminster in 1969, ownerhandled. One of my many favorite moments at Westminster came in 1996 when Charlie’s sire Oliver won the Terrier Group at Westminster under the much-respected Ken McDermott handled by Gene Zaphiris. Never has any exhibitor

expressed more exuberance than Gene did that night. The Cragsmoor team was on a roll this year in Orlando as they were also selected AKC’s Breeder of the Year. Reserve BIS under Mr. Menaker went to the record-breaking Portuguese Water Dog GCh.Claircreek Impression De Matisse owned by Milan Lint, Peggy Helming and his breeder Donna Gottdenker and handled by Michael Scott. Matisse was BIS at the 2013 Eukanuba and almost everywhere else in 2014! Matisse won the 2014 Working Group under Dorothy Collier. Both the Skye and the PWD are remarkable tributes to a pair of outstanding professionals in Cornelius and Scott, who have kept both dogs in perfect condition all year. It’s one thing to keep an animal totally fit and with the coat always right on, it’s another thing to keep the dog happy and loving the performance. Kudos to a pair of great dogmen! Best Bred by Exhibitor in Show honors judged by Pat Laurans went

to Heather Helmer and her Bloodhound GCh. Flessner’s International S’Cess. Heather co-bred with Ryan and Chris Flessner and co-owns with Susan Carter VanCamp and Shirley Van Camp. The Bloodhound won the Hound Group under Michael Dougherty. Best Veteran in Show judged by Roger Hartinger went to seven-year-old Ch. Jcobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice, Smooth Fox Terrier also owned by Mr. Malzoni with Phil and Amy Booth. Elaine and Louise Paquette’s trio of Bouviers des Flandres won the Eukanuba Breeders Showcase. The mutual emphasis on breeders by AKC and Eukanuba is timely and a strong response to the disrespect spread by so many of the animal activist groups who hate our sport. Under the auspices of Vicki Seiler, the Breeders Showcase finalists qualified by winning these events at various prominent shows around the country in 2014. In addition to the competitions held in Orlando, AKC official business was conducted by meetings of the board of directors and delegates. This resulted in their postponing the decision on the proposed Judging Approval Process until further review, a decision that meets with the approval of the judges’ organizations as well as the fancy. Exactly where the board will go with the final proposal is not clear but it probably will come to a vote before the March election. Certainly if their final blueprint for becoming a judge results in the quality of judges present in Orlando, they will have done their jobs well. The list of judges was truly a Who’s Who with Edd Bivin, Dr. Margaret Reed, Elaine Lessig and Roberta Davies joining the aforementioned group judges in selecting the finalists. Judges enjoyed large breed rings that easily accommodated huge Best of Breed classes and allowed ample room for the evaluation of gait. Good footing was provided by sturdy carpet. Not only does Orlando provide an opportunity to study so many wonderful dogs truly representative of their breeds, one gets to visit with much-loved friends such as Lee Canalizo that we don’t see often

enough. Lee’s son Michael successfully coordinated this entire event and is AKC’s go-to person for the show. Since reducing her judging assignments, Lee is utilizing her artistic abilities to paint and is really getting into it. She has always been one who could light up a room with her smiles, so no doubt she will light up the canvas too. Her designer jewelry has long been appreciated by those in our sport. This year’s AKC/Eukanuba show drew over 4100 dogs and

who knows how many spectators. Golden Retrievers led all entries with 116 exhibits for Houston Clark to adjudicate. Students of dogs found themselves conflicted as they wanted to watch more than one ring at a time. The huge entry of Australian Shepherds in one ring under Jim Moses and an equally impressive entry of Dobermans at the same time in the next ring under Teri Hundt caused heads to swivel back and forth like those watching a Wimbleton tennis championship final! With an amazing 95 dogs entered in Miscellaneous, David Ojalvo’s ring on Sunday was a magnet for both judges and other interested spectators. It provided a golden opportunity to see numbers of dogs not yet in our regular classes. Although we

have seen many Miniature American Shepherds around the country in the last few years, other breeds are not that prevalent at most shows. Of special interest was the whimsical Pumi, and it was good to see multi-group judge Chris Levy show her homebred exhibits. When such knowledgeable dog people become involved in these newer breeds (to the American fancy) the breed is better for it. Not only do they add much to the selection of good breeding stock with the breeders, they also help educate fellow judges to the virtues of the breed. Linda Pitts is another truly good dogwoman involved with the Pumi. We look for this breed and the Berger Picard to make huge strides in the future. Validating its supporters’ enthusiasm for the National Owner Handler Series with 610 dogs competing on Friday, the NOHS Finals was its very own all breed dog show. The BIS winning Maltese Ch. Divine’s Tropical Breeze handled by owner Sandy Bingham-Porter was selected by Charlotte Patterson on Saturday night. This popular program may need some tweaking in the future, but indeed-it is here to stay! Winning Best Junior Showman in Show was Lauren Hull with an Irish Setter that exemplified the rollicking temperament of the breed by testing her skills with foot movement on the line, Congrats to judge Helma Weeks for recognizing the poise and talent exhibited by young Lauren, who patiently and quietly restacked her dog. Junior judges who reward youngsters that continue working with their dog properly during the stress of competition add much to our sport. The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship is truly a magnificent event that showcases America’s best dogs. The entire holiday setting of the area boosts everyone’s spirits and elevates our moods for the Christmas season. It is a proper closing event for the year before we turn our attention to the Big Apple! May our readers enjoy the holiday break and prepare for another wonderful year in 2015. Dog News 79

New Hope for Dogs Diagnosed with Osteosarcoma A diagnosis of osteosarcoma is tantamount to a death sentence for dogs affected by this terrible disease. With a survival rate of only 6 to 12 months after treatment, osteosarcoma is not considered curable in dogs. That may change in the very near future, however, thanks to research being conducted by Nicola Mason, BVetMed, PhD. By Sharon Pflaumer

r. Mason is an Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine and a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine. She is a graduate of the Royal Veterinary College in London and has been researching the treatment of osteosarcoma and other types of cancer for almost 10 years. She is especially interested in treating osteosarcoma with immunotherapy, a type of care that may change the way in which all cancers are treated in both dogs and humans.

How is osteosarcoma treated?

Mason: After the diagnosis is confirmed with a biopsy, the next step is amputation of the affected limb. Then, we follow up with chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is important because 90 to 95% of the dogs treated for osteosarcoma are thought to have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. This means the disease has already spread to other parts of the body. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hoped that chemotherapy will kill those cancer cells or at least delay a recurrence of the disease.

arxism M s This Judge’s Point Of View

B Y S I D M A R X

ou receive a premium list heralding an upcoming dog show in your general travelling area, and you head for your checkbook so you can send in your entry. Before doing this, let’s discuss some questions that should be asked and answered before entering a show. The first question is “Why are you exhibiting? What are your expectations?” If this is a way of socializing - great. Times have changed since kennel managers showed dogs for the kennel owners. Dog shows today as a social happening is a very real thing. Some families find that this is a great way for a family to do things together, especially if a youngster is in Juniors. Do you want to take your dog to her championship and then retire or breed her, or is this a dog that you want to finish because she is important to your breeding program? Either way, take your time and enjoy it. Too many people forget that this is supposed to be fun. And if it is not fun for you, the tension goes right down the lead to the dog, and performance will suffer. And if it is not fun, why are you doing it anyway? When it is no longer fun for me to show or judge, I will quit. Since you are going to be competing against other entries, do you know how your dog stacks up against their quality? Do you really know your breed? I don’t just mean can you read and memorize the standard (and many exhibitors have NOT read their breed standard recently), but do you really understand the WHYs of your breed standard. What are the nuances that make your breed different from all others?

Why Are You Showing?

Do you know how your breed is supposed to move? Do you know what is correct movement? Not every breed moves the same way. The buzz-words these days are “tremendous reach and drive.” First of all, the term, “tremendous” could be construed as detracting from desired balance. Even more important, the dog’s conformation is designed to fit its function, and movement is an integral part of that. A Brittany that has to work all day covering a lot of territory needs the fully extended reach described in its standard. A Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever is supposed to attract the game in by its “springy” movement. We certainly should not look for the same movement from these two breeds. Now comes the hard part - after you understand your breed, can you honestly assess your dog’s qualities against those of your competitors? Learn to look at the competition with an unbiased eye so you know the strengths and weaknesses of the others in the ring. How else can you point out where your dog is stronger? If your competition has a dog with a much better front, would you want to angle your dog with her front pointing out or might a full side view be better? If your dog has a much better neck and shoulder assembly, this is what you want to make sure you are stressing when you are showing. So, before you set foot in the ring make sure you know the specific nuances

that make your breed different from other breeds. Could you describe your breed to someone who had never seen it? What are the significant characteristics of the breed that make it singular, and what is the history and function of the breed? You should at least be able to do this before showing your dog. If you can’t, there is your homework assignment. Here’s a hint for you – watch the judge’s procedure before you move into the spotlight in the ring. How many times have you seen exhibitors, eighth in line, move up to the front and not set the dog up the way the judge wants or not move in the right pattern? Think this might have any impact on the judge who did not get a lot of sleep the night before and has been standing on his feet on this concrete floor all day? Since the structure of all breeds is not the same, doesn’t it make sense that we should not handle every breed the same way? Most Terrier breeds are shown on a tight lead (unfortunately strung up too much), but if you showed a Border Collie on a tight lead with head held high, it is completely incorrect and against the dog’s form and function. Many handlers (both professional and owner-handlers) show Sporting Breeds on a tight lead (most often to their detriment). Many would show better if trained to move on a loose lead. In fact, the FlatCoated Retriever standard asks for the breed to be shown on a loose lead. I will leave the fact that most people do not move in a straight line with the result that they are pulling their dog from side to side –

“Now comes the hard part - after you understand your breed, can you honestly assess your dog’s qualities against those of your competitors?” 88 Dog News

pulling him off balance – to those that are teaching handling. If you want to “special a dog,” or successfully compete in Groups, your skills – and those of your dog – must be finely honed because you are going to be in the toughest competition. You need to decide how much money you are going to invest in showing a specific dog. Even if you are showing your own dog, entries, hotels, travel, food, etc. can quickly add up. Actually some people find it is cheaper to pay a professional to do the travel, grooming, and shows, and that is one reason they hire a handler. It often takes a significant number of shows before the dog and handler find their rhythm and perform as a team in the ring. Some dogs will go months without doing anything in the Group, and then “the light goes on,” and it all comes together. The first placing or win can be the impetus it needed. Do you have the patience for that? Are you willing to spend the money necessary for that? Is your dog of high enough quality to really be there? All of these things must be considered when you decide to join this upper level of competition. Our show system is really three different shows in one. The first “show” is class competition resulting in championship points. Training classes, match shows, and practice are designed to help you get ready for this competition. The next “show” is Best of Breed/Variety competition. The quality of dogs in this competition should be better, and the handling is definitely better. To get ready for this competition, experience is the best teacher. Finally there is the third “show:” Group and Best in Show Competition. This usually takes an experienced team of dog and handler - and lots of ulcer medicine. So before you fill out that next entry, understand your goals and what is necessary to reach them. Hopefully, underlying all your goals is building a rapport between you and your dog, and both of you having fun. What do you think?

Starting from the initial show, there was always a concern that if Eukanuba went through a drastic change of management, what would happen to the show. About a year ago Procter and Gamble sold the North American division to the Mars Corp. This caused great fears and many rumors about the future of the show. Pedigree was once the supreme sponsor of dog shows in the US. Dating back to the early nineties, many clubs were getting around $100,000 in sponsorship from Pedigree. Several years ago the Mars Corp. became very anti breeder and stopped sponsoring dog shows. They wanted the public to adopt dogs from the shelters instead of getting one from a breeder. Mars has become something a curse word within our sport. So one can understand when Mars bought the North American Eukanuba why such fears might arise. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to say that so far Mars is allowing the Eukanuba management to continue to operate as they have done within the sport for a long time.

The Bass Case: A Watershed Moment By Carlotta Cooper

erhaps the hottest story over the holidays has been the case of the Waukegan, Illinois Old English Bulldog puppies. The story has been flying all over the Internet and among dog people. If you missed it, John Bass, 28, was arrested in his home for “illegal breeding” because he did not have the $25 breeding permit required by his town. Not only that, but the officer involved confiscated and impounded his eight 6-week-old puppies and then turned them over to a rescue group. Mr. Bass, a former Marine, and his wife, have one bitch that lives in their home. This is the only litter they had in 2014. They also had a litter in 2013 that produced four puppies. The arrest was the result of a sting operation. A person from a rescue group answered Mr. Bass’s ad about the puppies and posed as a buyer online. A police officer took over the role and showed up at the house. The officer, pretending to be a puppy buyer, seemed suspicious and surprised when Mr. Bass had a contract for her to sign. According to the Bass family, they were also keeping the puppies until they were old enough to leave their mother in a few weeks. And they had just been at the vet’s office the day before for their first shots. The rescue that accepted the puppies, which was more than an hour away from the town and had ties with the arresting officer, was offering the puppies for adoption online for $550-600 before supporters of the Bass family began raising an outcry. It seems that the rescue was not in good standing with the state of Illinois and it was not a registered 501(c)3 92 Dog News

group. The puppies were turned over to another group and are currently with foster families. It seems clear that the rescue group that answered the ad and intended to sell the puppies for several hundred dollars per puppy was looking for a way to catch breeders and make money from selling purebred puppies. The group and the officer pulled off the same sting on a man with a Chihuahua earlier in the day. It’s not known how many other times they managed this little trick – all in the name of “saving” the puppies, of course. The officer appears to be on an unscheduled leave from duty at the moment. The Bass family has their own attorney and the case will be going to court soon. The family has had animal rights people outside their home yelling abuse and harassing them. There are plenty of good accounts of this case online where you can find more details. The Bass case seems to be a watershed moment in the dog world for several reasons.

• First, this kind of theft of dogs and puppies – with rescues turning around and selling them – has been going on for some time all across the country. It’s called “retail rescue.” But this is the first time that a case has really made headlines. Not only dog people but even people who don’t have animals have commented on the lack of justice involved. • Second, lots of cities and towns have passed virulent anti-breeding laws in recent years but many residents are unaware of the changes in the laws. How many of you know what your local ordinances are regarding dogs, kennels, and breeding? It’s hard enough to keep track of proposed state laws but many times local ordinances aren’t really announced at all. You’re lucky if you see a small blurb in your local newspaper. If your town has a hardline animal rights person running the shelter or a group pushing for anti-breeder laws in city hall, you could easily have some very bad antibreeder, anti-dog ordinances. Perhaps this case will encourage people to look at their local ordinances more closely. • Third, this is one of the first times that huge numbers of dog people have joined together to fight back against a wrongful case. Social media is brimming over with groups dedicated to this case and people have been fighting tooth and nail online with the AR people who have been attacking the Bass family. It’s amazing to see the strength and power that dog people have when they work together. Mr. Bass did not have a $25 breeding permit required by his town. For this he was arrested – on Christmas Eve – in front of his family, and eight puppies worth $1500 each were removed from their mother at 6 weeks of age and passed around a rescue. The penalty hardly seems to fit the crime. The family has since applied for and been granted the breeding permit, following an inspection of their home. With any luck, the Bass family will have their puppies back soon. But what a shame they and their puppies had to go through such a terrible experience.

An update to this story. The Bass family’s puppies are now home with them, safe and sound, thanks to the efforts of the mayor and others behind the scenes. The Waukegan City Council, meeting January 6, discussed making changes in the town’s dog breeding laws. The officer involved in the sting operation to obtain puppies for the rescue remains on an unplanned vacation. Her actions were unauthorized.

Life on the Shetland Islands in the North Atlantic off the north coast of Scotland and just 400 miles south of the Arctic Circle is not easy. Exposed to the furies of both the North Atlantic and the North Sea as well as Arctic winds and weather, the islands are rugged and rocky with only a few stunted trees and plants that tend to grow low and close to the ground to survive the nearly constant winds that buffet the islands. The people who live on these islands also tend to be as tough and rugged as the islands themselves and they have demanded the same sort of toughness in the Shetland Pony and the Shetland Sheepdog. Like the plants that survive on these craggy islands, both the ponies and the dogs are small and close to the ground. The original purpose of the Sheltie was as an allaround farm dog. They were expected to assist the crofters, tenant farmers or sharecroppers on the islands, doing whatever was needed keeping livestock out of gardens, helping with the twice yearly sheep roundup and serving as a family companion providing a warning when intruders or visitors to the croft approached. This tendency to bark was definitely an asset to the crofters although some consider it a drawback for the breed in the modern era. The early Shelties had to earn their keep because the islands’ residents could ill afford to keep a dog purely as a pet. What eventually evolved from the needs and demands of the crofters on the breed was a dog that thrived on multiple activities doing many dog sports at the same time. “Shelties are very biddable and they are so talented that all their skills should be showcased,” said Cheryl Sacerich, who owns Clipz (WTCH HTCH ATCH TC Moonglow Chosen Bi Eclipse VCX CD rE MXG MJG HSAds HIAds HXA DSM HXBdM MXF MXP AAD ASA AG AS AJ ATDdsc OTDdsc JS-E-OP RS-E-OP HTADIIIsd HRDIIIs), the breed’s second, after his grandfather, triple champion as he has an AKC conformation championship, a herding championship and a MACH2 among his many titles. “Herding dogs are known to work well as team members and my dog wants to do whatever sport I have planned for any given day.” “If you look at the standard, you’ll see the words ‘the Shetland Sheepdog is intensely loyal, affectionate and responsive to his owner.’ Other advantages the breed brings to the partnership include their moderate size, lightness of gait and body flexibility. Their coats are not only beautiful but weather protective and the smooth coat on their faces, ears and feet stays cleaner and is less likely to attract mud, burrs and weeds,” said Janice Miller, who owns HC HTCh MACH PACH VTCh Prelude’s Grand Slam UD VER RAE2 HXAsd HXBd MXB MXJS PAX2 MXPS MJPG CGC HTADIIIsd HRDIIIs HTDIIId HTDIIs ASCA UD ATDsd AFTDsd (“Cooper”), which was the number one Sheltie in AKC herding in 2009 and had Continued on page 158

One Week in Orlando … A Good Time for Charlie et al By Andrew Brace

photos by Eugene Z. Zaphiris

was sorry not to be able to deliver the commentary on the 2014 Eukanuba World Challenge, but having been contracted to judge by the AKC at its National Championship, the three shows involved in the Orlando Cluster and a local Pug Specialty I was otherwise committed. I will not insult your intelligence by suggesting that a weekend in cold, wet Amsterdam would have been preferable to a week in the Florida sunshine, so I went and I enjoyed. Ever since the American Kennel Club launched its National Championship show in conjunction with Eukanuba, originally held in California but more recently in Florida, the event has been run alongside the Eukanuba World Challenge final. This year, following major changes within Procter & Gamble, the World Challenge took place in Amsterdam as part of its famous annual Winner Show. When the change in location was announced there was speculation as to how the absence of the Eukanuba World Challenge would affect the AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship. Would any foreign dogs travel to the Orange County Convention Centre in Orlando, Florida to compete at this major AKC event and the three all-breeds shows that are held on the previous Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as the Orlando Cluster? Maybe some would as certainly the prospect of week in the Florida sunshine in December holds significantly more attraction than a long weekend in chilly Amsterdam at the end of the year. I found it interesting that, during the week I was in Orlando, I heard very little reference to the Eukanuba World Challenge and certainly few seemed bothered as to what was happening in Amsterdam ... a simple case of ‘’out of sight, out of mind’’ maybe? A consequence of the move to The Netherlands was 102 Dog News

that no American dog (there was a representative from Puerto Rico) was competing in the World Challenge this year, but it was obvious that there were several overseas exhibitors who had chosen to support the AKC event, even without the added attraction of the EWC. I flew into Orlando late on the Sunday night as I had insisted I wanted two nights in a local bed before starting five days judging and the clubs were most accommodating. Since losing its Peabody status and just becoming the Hyatt Regency I do feel the base hotel has lost a little of its charm, and I kept on worrying that the famous Peabody Ducks didn’t just end up à l’orange! Thankfully I slept through till 7 a.m. on Monday so my body clock was soon on local time. That meant I had a day to relax and work, not venturing far away from the hotel, and that evening enjoyed dining with Jason Hoke with whom one can always have serious dog talk and learn. My first assignment was with the Space Coast Kennel Club of Palm Bay and at 9 a.m. on Tuesday morning I started to work. I was impressed with many of the dogs entered under me and all of the breeds provided dogs that I felt were worthy BOB winners. Of particular note was the Alaskan Malamute male I took from the classes to win the breed; he looked fully mature so I was wondering if I’d missed anything to have such an impressive dog in the classes but I later discovered he had travelled from Korea so was competing as a three year-old non-Champion. I was thrilled when he later won the Owner Handled group under Sharon Zaker. It is a fact that not all the Rough Collies I judge in the USA sit easily with a British eye but I was extremely taken with the BOB winner, a blue merle bitch that had a comfortable passage from the classes again and evidently won her title on the day. She could do very well in the UK. I still cannot get my head around WHY Miniature Schnauzers are classified as terriers in the States and to date no American has given me a satisfactory answer but I was very impressed with the quality the breed fielded and thought the BOB winner, a Pepper and Salt male Special quite exceptional for his type, chunkiness, movement and fantastic jacket. That said I was also very taken with an ultra-smart black class bitch who turned out to be from Spain, though bred in Portugal, and

when we were doing pictures her handler reminded me that I had watched Frank Sabella make her BIS at the big Lisbon International show last year. She was my BOW, BOS and BOH and by the end of the week had her American title. Later in the day she too won the Owner Handled group under Sharon Zaker, going on to Best Owner Handled in Show under Jan Paulk. My biggest entry of the day was Cavaliers and again I had plenty of quality to work with, BOB going to a handsome male Special that pleased me enormously. We left the venue at close to 8 p.m. and it had been a long day, so had a quick dinner with friends and were then ready for Brevard Kennel Club at 8 a.m. on Wednesday. This was basically my Sporting day (with the exception of Toy Poodles, which threw up another worthy white hailing from Japan and Welsh Terriers, which were challenging but hotly contested) as all my other breeds were in what we still term the Gundog group. I have to confess that this is the group that I have most problems with in the USA as so many breeds seem to have gone off in a different direction to what we expect in their homeland ... and that is after studying the American Breed Standards that are in truth more detailed than their British counterparts yet still ask for what we want -particularly when it comes to outline, angulation and coat. It came as no surprise that the dogs I considered best were not necessarily the dogs beloved of the majority of American judges. That said, I liked enormously the exquisitely typed and curvy Pointer bitch that had come down from Canada to take the breed, the Weimaraner bitch that scored so heavily in lack of exaggeration, the correctly sized and good moving Welsh Springer bitch and of the Irish Setters I had to really concentrate on I thought the male Special, an excellent example of the breed. When I put up his photo on Facebook that night I was appalled by the comments made by people out of the Continued on page 164

SCENE By Geoff Corish

104 Dog News

As the year drifts into Autumn outside shows can be very tricky, you just never know. It’s a bit like Montgomery, it could be wonderful or could be pretty awful. The last completely outdoor show of the year is Driffield Agricultural Show, set in the beautiful surroundings of Wetherby Racecourse in Yorkshire, where it has been held since 2006, and covered four days with an entry of 6,300 dogs, Whippets having the biggest entry of 139 dogs. The show scheduled 149 breeds and thankfully it was four days of dry sunny weather, which is a blessing as this is not the nicest place to be on a wet day!! The society benefits from having Lord Kirkham as its President, one of the nicest people you will ever meet. Lord Kirkham is the brains behind DFS, which you will remember sponsored Crufts for several years. This society is the only one in the whole country that requires judges and stewards to be in evening dress for the groups and best in show. Quite a nice touch to the finals l think. Groups were won by the Great Pyrenees Ch Charibere Simply Special at Chezanna, this was his third herding group win. Working was won by the Alaskan Malamute Monikoona Most Wanted, sired by the US import Am & Canadian Ch GR Ch Mytuks Technical knockout ex polish Ch Lila Lucky Appalachian, this boy is only 14 months old and has already won a best in show and multiple best puppy in shows in Poland. From Scotland came the gundog winner in the Flat-Coated Retriever Show Ch Ballyriver Blake, which was recently best in show at the United Retriever Ch show. The hounds topped by the all white Greyhound Ch Windspiel Northern Style bred of course by the Newshams, who have bred several top winners in their time. The non sporting was won by the all gold Lhasa bitch Ch Timazinti

Danio, her first group win. And so the two finalists. For reserve best in show it was yet another from the top Bichon Frise kennel of Michael Coad and Multi Ch Pamplona Just Magic, co-owned by Regina Belstad and Oddvar Bjorke Havelin, who live on the beautiful island of Majorca, off the coast of mainland Spain. Sired by the top Bichon sire ever in the UK Ch Pamplona Bring Me Sunshine. Through the kindness of Paul Flores and Tray Pittman in California, they allowed Michael to bring Am & UK Ch Paray I Told You So to the UK and the rest is history as they say. Michael has bred lots of champions through ‘Buster.” To say he changed the breed here would be an understatement and quite frankly l think he saved the breed. And history was made when BIS was awarded to the Wire Fox Terrier Ch Travella Striking Steel. With this win he broke the UK general championship show record with his 19th such win and the fourth BIS in a row. Previously the record was held by the Hungarian Vizsla Show Ch/Aust Ch Hungargunn Bear Itn Mind, which was awarded his 18th BIS at Crufts 2010, and before that by the pre-war Scottish Terrier Ch Heather Realisation. “Oliver” was bred by Bill Browne Cole and sired by Ch/Am/Int Ch Travella Starlord, himself a dual BIS winner and Crufts group winner, ex Travella Scarlet Rose. He was originally shown in the name of Bill’s wife Sue, but is now owned by Victor Malzoni in Brazil. He is usually handled by Richard Allan, though his breeder has shown him to three of his BIS wins. l would like to wish all Dog News readers all the very best for 2015 and hope all your dreams come true.

ew York, NY –The pack has expanded! The American Kennel Club® (AKC®) announced today that the Spanish Water Dog, Cirneco dell’Etna, Bergamasco, and Boerboel gained full AKC recognition. This brings AKC’s roster of recognized breeds to 184. “The AKC is thrilled to recognize these four very unique breeds,” said AKC Spokesperson Gina DiNardo. “While each of these loveable dogs differs in temperament, exercise, and grooming needs, they make wonderful companions to a variety of people. We’re glad to give dog lovers more breed options to fit their lifestyle.”

“FOUR MORE BREEDS! FOUR MORE BREEDS!”

The Akc Family Just Got Larger! All four breeds will be eligible to compete in AKC events beginning January 1, 2015. To become an AKC recognized breed there must be a minimum number of dogs geographically distributed throughout the U.S., as well as an established breed club of responsible owners and breeders. Breeds working towards full recognition are recorded in AKC’s Foundation Stock Service® (FSS®). More information on the process can be found at akc.org. Continued FROM page 170

The Amsterdam Winners Show was this year the host for the Eukanuba World Challenge at the same time as celebrating the 125th Winner show anniversary.

rom the reaction of many of the contestants, exhibitors, and guests it was clear that both shows achieved great success, despite the fact that their joining together only really came to be in the last few months. The sale of the Eukanuba brand by P and G to the Mars Group for the USA market and separately to Spectrum Brands for Europe and other parts of the world, made things a little difficult and after seven years in the USA, the separation led to a move to Europe for the now famous Eukanuba World Challenge. Clearly this made things extremely difficult for the organising team who are largely based in Geneva and so have been segregated from the USA side of things. As the news of the potential sale of the brand sank in to the employees of Eukanuba, so did the realisation that ‘the show must go on’ and that despite the impending changes there was still work to be done. WINNERS AND LOSERS There were bound to be winners and losers in the new set up; many people had become accustomed to all expenses trips to the USA in December, but as with many things in life, nothing stays the same forever. The Eukanuba World Challenge (EWC) had become inextricably bound up with the American National Championships so it must have seemed strange not seeing this final in Florida this year. But after much research and meetings the new location of Amsterdam was settled upon and the background organisational wheels started to turn. Some questioned the choice of Amsterdam as opposed to other major shows which were being staged round about this time of year, such as Stockholm, Brussels and Helsinki. The choice of Amsterdam was affected by geographical position among other things as it is an ex114 Dog News

cellent hub for international travel and a relatively easy airport for dogs. Other shows mentioned also had different food sponsors, so in various ways, the Amsterdam Winner fitted the bill. You also needed an organising committee with the desire and commitment to make it work within their own show and that certainly was the case in Holland, from the President Gerard Jipping and Kennel Club Chief Executive Rony Doedijns. However, for many of the visitors from places like

! e p o r u E n I d n e k e e W Rafael de Santiago, FCI President; Hounaida Lasry, Vice President P&G Pet Care – EMEA & Asia; Tortrakul Chaiyah (handler); Jorgen Hindse, EWC “Best of the Best” judge and FCI Europe President; Jose Luis Ibanez, Chairman of EWC and Eukanuba Veterinary & Breeder Channels Mgr. Europe (left to right) the Far East, the older and more historical setting of Amsterdam actually proved to be an interesting and exciting venue as the backdrop to events. DUTCH DELIGHT However, even with a relatively short lead-in time, the Dutch team at the Winner Show and the Raad van Beheer (Dutch KC) combined brilliantly with the ever professional Eukanuba team to put on an exciting and fun packed weekend in old Amsterdam. For some time the FCI had also suggested that it was time to bring the EWC to Europe anyway, so circumstances contrived to make this happen one way or the other. Top brass of the FCI appeared from all round the world, staying at the excellent Amsterdam Hilton Hotel, the base for the EWC events. We had the President of the FCI Rafael Santiago from Puerto Rico and also Dinky Santos, head of the Asia and Far East Section and of course Jorgen Hindse from the European Section and judge for the final. Regular shuttle buses ran the short ten-minute trip to the showground. The Our Dogs team has been involved with the Winner show for over 30 years and was delighted to help on the media side for the event. So there was a much greater media presence in the Rai Centre on the outskirts of the city centre. The press people were given easy access and daily press conferences were held in excellent rooms, although they were a little distance away from the main ring. The Amsterdam Winners show itself has undergone something of a resurgence in recent years and is now a three-day event on its own.

The Friday saw the National Show won by a Pointer bred in the UK and handled by a Scandinavian, maintaining the international feeling of the weekend! On Saturday and Sunday the actual Winners Show took place in the new part of this well established show centre. The layout had been changed to accommodate all the activities and the main ring had been given special treatment by the show team; it looked very impressive and had two banked rows of tiered seating on either side and a VIP area facing. BACK TO THE DOGS This year marked the eighth installment of the acclaimed canine competition and was the first Eukanuba World Challenge Final to be held in Europe. 33 dogs and handlers representing as many countries and qualifying events from all

five continents competed for the grand prize of Euro 7,500 and the honor of being named “Eukanuba World Challenge Champion”. There was a general consensus that the line up of dogs for both the Eukanuba World Challenge and for the Winners Best in Show was really first rate and the judges were lucky to have such good dogs to choose from. This was particularly fortunate considering that on the same weekend, the UK’s LKA Show had attracted an entry of over 10,000, the AKC National Championship Show in Florida had over 4000 dogs, the Stockholm International reached over 8,000 and there was also a large show in St Petersburg over the same weekend. Despite that many of the year’s top winners were in Amsterdam celebrating Continued on page 174

from Cervantes, Picasso and Gaudi to Torquemada and the Inquisition; from soccer to bullfighting, from the Conquistadors to conquering soccer’s world title, Spain has it all and even amid a major financial crisis it still draws thousands of tourists to what can only be described as an astonishingly beautiful country. There is fossil evidence of the presence of Neanderthal in Gibraltar about 50,000 years ago. Around 8,000 BC North African tribes settled throughout the region, and this population became known as the Iberians. The Romans invaded the peninsula in 206 BC, and transformed the region of Andalucía into one of the Roman Empire’s richest and best organized colonies covering the region with paved roads. Roman boats sailed the Guadalquivir River on their way to Cordoba, where they filled the ships with containers of olive oil to be sent to Rome.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire, the peninsula was invaded by barbarian tribes coming from northern Europe, who ruled the region for about two centuries. In 711 AD Islamic armies from Arabia and North Africa - the Moors occupied today’s Spain and dominated for eight centuries leaving behind a fine cultural legacy, rich in music, design, and architecture, the Mosque of Cordoba and the Alhambra Palace in Granada are great examples of that era. By the end of the 15th century, the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon, had banned the last Moors, financed discovery trips, (Christopher Colombo being the most important), and brought by the infamous Spanish Inquisition in an effort to restore Christianity in the country. About this time the Spanish language began to be spoken as it is today. Spain is divided into autonomous regions, each with its own characteristics and with a capital, Catalunia and Andaluzia are two of those. Barcelona alone is worth at least a couple of week’s time from a traveler wishing to merely scratch the surface of what the Capital of Catalunia has to offer. Walking Las Ramblas with its beautiful

Imagine for a second a dream of a breeder. They stay up all hours of the night imagining the next breeding, comparing the pedigrees of two dogs, wondering if it will be the right match and if they will breed the right pair of dogs together to avoid any genetic abnormalities. They wonder if the bitch could even whelp the litter herself, or if they would have to fork out the twelve hundred dollars for a Csection. Then the litter finally arrives and they watch the puppies all night making sure the mother doesn’t eat them or accidently squash them. They make sure the puppies are nursing, hoping that one puppy might just be the next big winner. Around four weeks the puppies start to play and get different attitudes. There is one puppy in the litter that gives the

breeder goose bumps—maybe she’s it, she’s stunning. The puppies get older and every morning the breeder gets excited, watching this eight week old puppy play. The breeder mentally prepares that puppy’s future, as well as deciding whether the others are show dogs or simply companion dogs. At ten weeks the other puppies are sold and the “keeper” is introduced to the big dogs. The breeder spends the next two years watching the puppy grow up, all the while waiting for that perfect moment to bring the dog to a show so that everyone might see her. She decides whether she will show the dog herself or hire a handler, and which one will get the honor. She imagines the green carpet of Madison Square Garden. She imagines the spotlights of Best in Show at Westminster Kennel Club highlighting her dog into which she has just invested the past

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: I am a first generation dog breeder. Neither of my parents show dogs. My mom stewards occasionally. I started in beagles in junior showmanship. A lady asked if I would show a Kerry. I fell in love with the breed and breed them to this day under the Wildside prefix with Diane Harrison. My first litter I bred my first Montgomery County winner. “Janie” won winners bitch and best bred by from the bred by class at 16 months with me 8 weeks out of back surgery. During Juniors I worked for various professional handlers but mostly for Ernesto Lara. I showed a kerry in juniors and did all the trimming on her myself. He taught me the foundations of trimming the various breeds. After a couple of years of working for him I ran into problems with my health. I came off the road working but still went to the kennel to learn. After a year I decided that I needed a handler that could accommodate my health challenges but still allow me to work. That’s where CJ Favre came in. I had sold Lisa a puppy. I asked him if I could work for him and he let me come down. 4 weeks later I needed a surgery so I went home. I graduated high school and moved back to Georgia two weeks after graduation. I’m happy to say that I’m getting my health back and am back doing a full load. I got my AKC apprenticeship this past June and continue to be CJ’s right hand man. I know that for now I can’t take a full load and be a handler and I’m happy to be an assistant and learn the ropes the right way. I also hope to get my junior judges license and give back to the sport that turned my life around.

new year is upon us and it’s back to the grind with a weekend of dog shows already in the books. The year ended in spectacular fashion with the AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship, where among other awards, Gwen DeMilta and Carissa DeMilta Shimpeno were named AKC Breeders of the Year and Judge Ron Menaker dubbed Charlie the Skye Terrier owned by Victor Malzoni, Jr. and Cragsmoor Kennels and handled by Larry Cornelius Best In Show. Congrats to all the winners and to all at the AKC and Eukanuba for pulling off another spectacular flagship event for purebred dogs. For those unable to attend, unfortunately there was no live television broadcast of the extravaganza only live streaming but the AKC did announce a couple days after the finale that portions of the event would be televised on the Lifetime network on Saturday, January 31 at 9 AM EST and rebroadcast on something called LRW at 2 PM EST. It may seem like a bit of an odd pairing and scheduling, as Lifetime is known for its tagline as being “television for women” and more women are apt to tune in to television at 9 PM rather than 9 AM but one can only assume that Lifetime offered the most money for the broadcast rights. Why else alienate the male demographic, many of which tune in to the taped National Dog Show on NBC every Thanksgiving and generally make up a third of the live audience of the Westminster Kennel Club. The live broadcast of the 2012 Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show on USA skewed 61% female, with the previous five years averaging 63% female. Additionally, the presumed built-in audience of fanciers will be at various dog shows around the country instead of sitting in front of their television sets on a Saturday morning.

and set their timers accordingly. 2014 ended on a sour note on the canine legislation front right here in New York City, the AKC’s backyard, just weeks before another signature event for purebred dogs, The Westminster Kennel Club, will take place. A bill packaged by animal rights’ activists as an anti puppy mill measure that mandates the sterilization of all pets prior to transfer was passed by the New York City Council on Health in late December. As a result, puppies as young as the tender age of eight weeks will be subjected to the dangers of spay/neuter surgeries. The bill certainly didn’t pass without opposition or due to a lack of effort, as the AKC’s Government Relations Department and the Responsible Dog Owners Association of New York attended hearings, wrote letters, issued alerts and sought out social media campaigns to rally all dog lovers to enlighten the NYCCOH about the dangers inherent within these surgeries, all to no avail. It should serve as a further reminder that if the reality of MSN has come to NYC, the media capital of the world with over 8 million people and more than half a million dog owners, it can happen anywhere and all dog lovers are obliged to monitor this and other canine legislation issues, as it’s incumbent upon us all as dog owners to speak up for our rights and those of our canine companions. The advent of the Internet has resulted in the death of countless local newspapers across the country, leaving many communities and individuals in the dark regarding local ordinances and measures that can have dire consequences, from licensing to limit laws that can have sudden, catastrophic effects on dog owners and breeders. All must remain vigilant, connected and informed on these issues and if it’s not always possible to attend town meetings, make sure you’re on the right email lists to remain in the loop on these matters. What’s somewhat lost in the conversation with the issue of mandatory spay/neuter programs is that they have contributed to a boon in some Continued on page 200

MO R And

By Matthew H. Stander Photos of the Orlando Cluster by Eugene Z. Zaphiris

We are back after our extended vacation, which included a three-week break instead of our usual two-week hiatus at the end of the year primarily due to the calendar, which prevented us from getting our January 2nd issue out as our first issue of the year. With both Wednesday New Year’s Eve and Thursday New Year’s Day our printer’s schedule did not permit publication since they were closed both days. This is of course as opposed to the competitive world of the dog show, which seemingly ignores these forms of holiday recognitions. Chacon son gout is my attitude but I find it difficult to accept how so many people would be willing to fly and travel New Year’s Eve to attend and compete at events on New Year’s Day. One would have thought - anyways I didthat the Judges Events Department would have nixed New Year’s Day shows and started the competitions on January 2nd instead of the first. But there are priorities and priorities I suppose so the first day of the New Year began with a series of Palm Springs competitions for the first time that I can recall. I suppose that traditions such as not holding shows on Christmas and/or New Year’s Day are flexible and are Continued on page 190

sand Item Challenge and fulfills his New Year’s Eve resolution in two days with a 100% success rate. Well above the national average. I, on the other hand, tend to the culinary needs of multiple houseguests and do not begin my personal One Thousand Item Challenge until Sunday, January 4th. I strategically wait until Big Michael leaves for St. John’s Episcopal Church before I begin sorting and tossing. My journey begins in the bedroom. Three pairs of old running shoes, each pair representing a minimum of one marathon each, go into a large-black-heavy-contractor-trash. Numerous old running shirts, shorts, dress shirts, socks, slacks, caps, gloves, suits, and jackets follow along with the blazer that I wore when showing my Golden Retriever to a group second at Westminster in 2005. I carefully remove all the buttons from the green blazer before stuffing it in the bag (The buttons were a gift from Nancy and Brian Martin) for use on a new purchase. I also shove in the infamous grey suit that I wore two years ago to show another one of my Goldens to Barbara Pepper. That was the Specialty Show in Long Beach, when I managed deftly to rip the crotch out of the trousers immediately after being awarded the winner’s ribbon---directly in front of the assembled masses. Forty-one items down, nine hundred-fifty-nine to go. Murphy French follows me into the bathroom and we tackle the bottom two vanity drawers where I have safely stored two years’ worth of small, convenient toiletry items from hundreds of dog show host hotels around the world. One hundred-fifty-three mini bottles of hotel shampoo, conditioner, lotion and ninety-one little hotel soaps are tossed into a sturdy bag with handles. “Two hundred eighty-five items down, only seven hundred fifteen more to go before I complete my New Year’s resolution---YAHOO!” I exclaim while moving down stairs, through the house and up another flight of stairs to my office/studio. “Oh, my! This is going to be a challenge,” I mumble to myself while scanning a room filled with trophies, dog books, weekly dog magazines, monthly dog magazines, quarterly dog magazines, annuals, dog photos, judge’s gifts, medallions, dog show catalogues, dog art, and 132 Dog News

ever so much more. I take a deep breath and then exhale tentatively, knowing that my attempt at cultivating non-attachment to my personal dog show items and letting go of my connection to all this dog stuff is going to be tough. My grip starts to loosen when I approach the dog show catalogues. With ease I am able to dump three years’ worth, minus personal favorites and National Specialties, into yet another largeblack-heavy-contractor-trash bag. “Wow, this feels good. I really do not need to reach out for external validation, because I am starting to feel fulfilled within,” I quietly muse. This thought champions my next move to the dog magazines. The first thing I do is toss every issue of Dog News that does not have an article written by me. “See, this is not so difficult,” I, once again, share confidently with myself…and Murphy French. The issues that contain “The Lighter Side” articles are carefully stacked, and one by one I tear off the cover, remove the table of contents, tear out the pages that feature the article, and clip them all together. The remaining carnage is placed in three additional large-black-heavy-contractor trash bags. With no direct affiliation with Showsite, Canine Chronicle, Dogs in Review and numerous group and breed specific magazines, I manage to dispose of three hundred thirtysix dog show magazines and one hundred thirty-nine dog show catalogues without shedding one tear. My courage is growing. Seven hundred sixty items removed and only two hundred forty to go. “My attachment to so many dog show related objects stirs desire, and from desire comes anger, and that anger leads to self-delusion. Delusion causes confusion of memory. Damn it all! That’s why I missed one question on my last open book breed exam.” I have become distracted and oh so subtly influenced

by my distracted sense organs, more than likely causing my judging to suffer by accumulating all of these dog show magazines, judges books, judges badges, photographs of myself, my articles, etc. I must stop trying to secure and validate my position in the sport of pure bred dogs through possessions. Things are interfering with clear vision,” I actually mutter out loud. With this proclaimed to absolutely no one, I whirl around and randomly toss plastic dog related tokens, judge’s badges, ribbons, pens, clocks, little boxes, medallions, numerous cardboard covers for dog show photographs, note cards, envelopes, letters, etc., into additional bags. I take a moment from the flurry of activity, wipe the sweat from my forehead, and check my current FITBIT physical activity level with my almost-to-be-tossed DROID. “Fabulous, OMG---I have already reached my daily fitness goal of over 10,000 steps. And with any luck, my newfound detachment from stuff will allow DROID to instruct me that my nightly sleep patterns are improving. Sunday evening, January 4th, 7:47 PM, I complete the 1000 item challenge. Actually, I removed 1023 items with determination and flair, including numerous items I thought to be non-negotiable. I realized through the process that my dog show related attachments may have prevented me from being completely who I am and what I can be. Do we get so wrapped up in dog show stuff that we do not experience reality without artificially coloring our perception and understanding of the sport? Do we stop being truthful, honest, and transparent? Do we search for relationships and mentors that serve an interest or promote personal welfare instead of what they are supposed to do---make us better judges? Slowly I drink cold water from my blue, metallic sports bottle (dog show gift that was not tossed) and contemplate my personal mistakes and my personal successes of 2014 and look forward to my 2015 judging assignments, my new Black-BallisticNylon-Rolling-Garment-Bag, my new Droid, new dog show photos, catalogs, dog magazines, judges badges, and judges gifts, so I can once again reflect on why I do what I do and why I love the sport. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

For a judge who on a regular basis judges dogs in countries where a written critique of each dog is required and the number restricted to about 80 dogs, it must be as well exciting as liberating to concentrate on judging the dogs and comparing them without any obstructions and distractions which I think the writing of critiques can be! Some 50 years ago I thought I knew much more about dogs than I do today and can so well remember being introduced to this irritatingly opinionated young guy from Wales who showed Pekes and was said to be a protégé of as well Nigel Aubrey-Jones as Joe Braddon. In my opinion two of the most intellectual, knowledgeable and interesting persons in dogs ever. I think they both would have been impressed and pleased by watching him in action at this show. It is difficult to decide whether or not the differences between the European World of Dogs and Dog Shows – and the American equivalent- are really good or bad, but there are definitely nuances in both worlds that are great- while others not so great! During the last year I have made a few interesting visits across the pond, and from a judge’s as well as a spectator’s point I made a number of interesting observations. In many cases my view is not, after being a US resident for a number of years, coming from a very different angle than in years gone by… Standing in the center of the ring in the US you will have the benefit of judging mainly well prepared and handled exhibits- in many cases so well prepared that you will have to search for faults as they may be so well hidden. Although I find it rather charming and challenging to judge dogs that are not as “glammed up” and well handled in other parts of the world- it is in many ways more of a challenge! I would compare the difference between judging the average show in the US compared with “the rest of the world” as follows: In the USA most dogs are shown so polished and in many cases made to look better than they really are – the way you find antiques in the major Auction houses like Christies or Sotheby’s - while in “the other world” you can find some treasures that at first sight might not look so outstanding, but that with closer inspection can be really exciting. Like a flee market experience in a way. And this is not meant as a derogation.

But of course in both instances you have challenges, not to be overly impressed by presentationor too influenced by lack thereof! I hasten to add that there are of course some excellent handlers and presenters in every country of the world, but not in the numbers we are fortunate to have in this country. One of the positives over there is of course that it may not be so intimidating to enter the ring as it may be for an amateur over here. I know from experience that it can be quite nerve-racking for an amateur to enter a ring as the only one without professional status! It has really been a long time since I last watched the groups and best in Show at an International show on the European continent- and it was nearly shocking to realize that there are so many breeds gaining popularity that are completely new to me, but fortunately I had one of the well known Finnish All Rounders Marja Talvitie at my side during a recent visit to Italy who not only could educate me regarding names of the breeds, what the standards called for- and in most cases even why? So if anybody in the US is following the current trend: To import a new, in the US totally unknown breed, I can promise there are many breeds to choose from. Why anybody would choose that option in place of the challenge of supporting and improving one of the hundreds of breeds already in need of help over here is to me simply a mystery! During the last couple of years I have judged terriers in many parts of this country –and been told that the numbers are decreasing year by year and my hope for the future is that more people will discover how wonderful these breeds are- so the rings again can be seen filled with some breeds which seemingly are about to be wiped off the map! So if not already a terrier person: Think about it before you start planning importing your Moscow Terrier from Russia- or any new breed from anywhere else. The beginning of every year involves the same questions: Will last year’s top dogs be retired and I think we are all looking forward to seeing new and exciting dogs enter the arena. 2015 could be the best year ever! At least we can hope so.

Dog News 139

Gary Wittmeier Remembering

Continued FROM page 50

would soon blossom into one of the most coveted lines of Toy Poodles the world had ever seen. He had lots of success as a handler… showed a lot of great dogs, but he was always a breeder at heart, and that is where the real story of his legacy begins. He had the great fortune of meeting a wonderful woman by the name of Constance Ferguson who believed in him and loved him like a son. Connie gave Gary the drive and confidence he needed to venture into his true calling as a Breeder-Owner-Handler. He started doing some very nice winning with some very nice dogs. His first dog of great importance was Ch Trebor Toastmaster, “Barney”. Although he wasn’t a great winner, he was a prolific sire. And through Gary’s generosity, he even sent Barney to the East Coast so he could be used and shared with the Toy Poodle fancy…who would dare do that today? That is the kind of person he was…generous to a fault at times, but that was our Gary. Unfortunately, Connie would not be around to see the REAL success of this incredible line of dogs, but he always left her name on them, even after her death. His first BIS winner was a gorgeous black toy bitch “Weezie,” Ch Jomega’s Illusive Dream. She won the Variety at Poodle Club of America from the Bred By Exhibitor class …a breeder’s dream come true! She won 4 BIS, a lot of Groups & SBIS …she would have won a lot more, but she refused to walk at inside shows, and ultimately nearly made Gary crazy! Then this little white toy male Cappy came along and the real journey began. Ch Trebor of Ahs Capital Gains won the Group at the Garden in 1991 after completing his championship just a few months earlier. Cappy went on to win 20 BIS…BIS at the PCA Regional and a massive amount of Groups and ending the year in the Top 10 All Breeds! Next came Madge…Ch Image of Ahs who was also a BIS winner, but she went Best 140 Dog News

In Show at PCA, which just sent Gary over the moon! Although Gary had known Norman Patton as a judge for many years, they began a 22year relationship during this prolific time in his career, and together they enjoyed and shared in what you could only classify as the BEST of times…and her name was Baseball…the incomparable Ch MVP of Ahs! This little bitch had a following like no other as she performed like no other. Those of you who saw her would remember how she would stretch her back legs straight out behind her…tail straight up and drag herself around on her belly to the utter delight of ringside! She also won the Group at Westminster…the Variety at PCA and over 80 All Breed BIS to become the Top Winning Toy Poodle of All Time, breaking a record that stood since the early 60’s! Her record was broken a few years ago, but her record for a Breeder-Owner-Handled Toy Poodle probably never will be, and that is what he coveted most. Baseball was also a terrific producer, and Gary bred her to a dog of mine, which resulted in what he considered his greatest of all… The platinum silver “Dottie” Ch Trebor Shortstop, who was co-owned by one of his dearest friends ever to grace his life, Patty Kanan. In case you are wondering, the whites with the exception of Cappy went by the Ahs kennel name in honor of Connie, and the Blacks, Blues and Silvers went by the Trebor prefix. While Dottie did amass an astounding 40 BIS (and was the top winning silver of all time), he was ultimately disappointed, as he never felt she was fully appreciated by the fancy, and he lost his fire for the specials ring. He did breed & show several more gorgeous toys after Dottie, but he never felt the same about the sport. He did however make a triumphant return to the ring a few years ago, but this time with a Min Pin named Max! This little dog was everything to Gary, and they won a number of BIS. Gary really seemed to have regained a lot of the fire for the sport that he had lost and he & Max had a stellar career together. He was his constant companion until the end and he loved Max so dearly. He was never a member of PCA but he, Norman and Margaret Renihan started the Angeles Canyon Dog Club (ACDC), which has quickly become a premier event in California, Continued on page 193

(voice box) and trachea (windpipe). Though it usually clears up on its own, kennel cough is highly contagious to other dogs. Kennel cough is so named because the infection spreads quickly among dogs in the close quarters of a dog show, crating area, kennel or shelter. Enclosed areas with poor air circulation facilitate the process. Dogs catch kennel cough in several ways. It can spread through airborne droplets produced by sneezing and coughing, directly from dog to dog contact, or through germs on contaminated objects. Kennel cough is so contagious that your dog might catch it from sharing a water dish at the show or by simply greeting another dog. Bordatella bronchiseptica is the bacteria most commonly cultured in cases of kennel cough. Dogs that become infected with Bordatella can be infected with a virus at the same time, such as parainfluenza virus, canine adenovirus, canine distemper virus and canine herpes virus. These viruses are known to make dogs more susceptible to contracting infection with the Bordatella bronchiseptica bacteria. Dogs catch kennel cough when they inhale bacteria or virus particles into their respiratory tract. Symptoms begin after a 5 to 10 day incubation period following exposure. The

classic symptom is a harsh, dry, â&#x20AC;&#x153;honkingâ&#x20AC;? cough. Sneezing, gagging, snorting, discharge from the nose and eyes can also occur. Some dogs vomit as a result of continued forceful coughing. In most cases, dogs appear healthy except for the cough with normal appetites and activity levels. However, in puppies or dogs with weak immune systems, these infections can progress to potentially life-threatening pneumonia. Dogs with kennel cough usually recover completely within 3 weeks. For puppies, senior dogs and dogs with other medical conditions, this may take up to 6 weeks or more. Some dogs may remain infectious for long periods even after the symptoms have cleared up, but dogs are most contagious during the active coughing phase. Treatment for kennel cough includes antibiotics that target Bordatella bacteria, such as amoxicillin or Clavamox. Cough suppressants are helpful to relieve the persistent cough. A humidifier, vaporizer or steamy shower will help soothe irritated throats. Dogs with kennel cough should be isolated from other dogs. There are three forms of vaccine for kennel cough: one that is injected subcutaneously, one that is delivered as a na-

sal mist, and one that can be given by mouth. Dogs have shown immune response 48 to 72 hours after being given a single dose of the intranasal or oral vaccine. Dogs initially vaccinated with the injectable vaccine are not expected to have protective immunity until 5 to 7 days following administration of the second dose, that is, not earlier than 19 to 21 days following administration of the first dose. Vaccines for kennel cough must be given as directed. Serious side effects can occur if the oral or nasal vaccine is injected under the skin and the injectable vaccine will not be effective if squirted into the nose or mouth. The kennel cough vaccinations are typically given to dogs once a year, but are recommended every six months for dogs at high risk for exposure to kennel cough. Keep in mind that vaccinations are not useful if the dog has already caught the virus.

Oregon State football team. The second event was held at a nearby farmers’ market. Veterinary students manned both locations, handing out information on food safety, vaccines and preventive medicine. Visitors were encouraged to build their own pet first-aid kits and heard from AVMA members who spoke about life saving initiatives in the event of a disaster. Finally, a one-health themed event was held in Martin, Kentucky in September of last year, dedicated to support of animal care and wellbeing in that area. The event showed off the AVMAF mobile veterinary clinic, and included a health fair with local veterinarians and physicians to provide medical care and health education and information for both pets and people. In 2015 the American Veterinary Medical Foundation hopes to assist individual veterinarians, students, VMA’s and veterinary technicians in planning events geared to their clinics or in their communities. The examples cited above are only some of what local or state veterinary associations, organizations and universities of veterinary medicine can do to interact with their communities. This Foundation has designated the week of October 24, 2015 as the time frame for veterinary groups to get together and reach out to their communities. The whole event is entitled Our Oath in Action project. Any group who wishes to participate next Fall may find information at; www.avmf.org/programs/main/ouroath-in-action. For further information on how your group could proceed contact Chris Kowal at ckowal@avma.org or call 847-285-6691. Any dog-related group could participate in a clinic of this type, and make it as simple or as complicated as it wishes to be. If you are looking for public outreach, there is no better way.

Ebola Exposure

AVMA and its partners have issued guidance for health officials on the handling of pets exposed to the Ebola virus. As everyone knows by now, the likelihood of the average pet owner in the United States contracting the disease is extremely rare. However, to the credit of AVMA and its partners, guidelines do exist. AVMA consulted with the Centers for Disease control and Prevention, the Department of Agriculture and other health agencies and experts to develop protocols for assessing, handling and monitor146 Dog News

ing companion animals that may have been exposed to Ebola. There are two separate guideline documents available to the public. Anyone who has concerns about how to deal with potential Ebola exposure should contact the following sources; www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/transmission and click on “Questions and Answers about Ebola and Pets. In addition, AVMA is providing resources on Ebola at www.avma.org/Ebola. (JAVMA, December `15, 2014)

Wound Healing

The most important things to remember when dealing with open wounds are to stop infection and to speed healing. The first thing you will want to do if your dog has sustained an injury is to stabilize it and look for injuries that may not be readily apparent. If your dog has been bitten by another dog, or if it has sustained other types of injuries, assess the extent of the damage and then make a decision about what to do next. If you can see the wound and can begin to treat it, fill a container with a water-soluble lubricant. If possible clip the hair around the wound with a wide margin. Wash the area to remove foreign material and to minimize infection. If you are within range of a saline solution or other sterile washes, remove as much foreign material as possible. Try not to wash the wounds with ice-cold water, as that might send the patient into shock. If you use a disinfectant, such as iodine, dilute it so that the solution is 1:10 or less. If you use a solution like Chlorhexadine, dilute it to a solution of 1:40, as this has a long residual action. Once the wound has been thoroughly washed, remove dead tissue and foreign bodies. There are several ways to do this, but severe cases should be done by a veterinarian under sterile conditions. Whether to cover a wound or leave it alone is important because some wounds need space to heal, but others must be covered to protect the skin underneath. If the wound is severe, veterinary care is indicated to prevent further injury or infection. Bandages are important, but as anyone who has tried to keep a bandage on a dog where it can be reached by tooth or claw, it’s a challenge. If you are able to bandage the wound, here’s the way that one veterinary surgeon recommends. Bandages consist of three layers: contact or primary, intermediate or secondary, and outer or tertiary. The contact layer should be sterile and conform to the body contours. It must be allowed drainage to Continued on page 150

the secondary layer, be non-toxic or non-irritating, and minimize pain. There are many ways to apply a primary bandage. This would be the place to apply medicated ointments that are easily available over the counter. The secondary layer would be to cover the medicated bandage and to provide support. This layer should decrease dead space between the wound and the bandage coverings. It should be thick enough to absorb fluid or drainage from the wound. The outer layer holds the others in place and should be applied with an even pressure. This is the bandage that will become soiled and must be changed frequently. It is also the bandage with the most adhesive qualities to keep it in place, but must be checked frequently to make certain it is not too tight, in which case it could cut off blood circulation, or too loose, where it could slip off or move around. Any animal that is bandaged must be monitored carefully and under no conditions should it be left alone where it could pull off the bandages and expose the wound to further contamination. Bandages and dressings should be examined daily to make certain that no infection has set in. Sometimes owners apply foul-tasting coverings, like hot pepper, or other non-poisonous substances, to the bandages to keep the dog from chewing, but those are usually more irritating to the owner than to the dog, and do nothing to help the healing process.

Tick Research

Although it is still winter, scientists at Kansas State University have been awarded a $1.8 million National Institutes of Health grant to continue studying the tick borne bacterium Ehrlichia chaffeensis. By studying the genetic makeup of this bacterium, Dr. Roman Ganta, PhD at Kansas State University, hopes to develop vaccines to protect against infections from the bacterium and similar tick-borne pathogens. Ehrlichia chaffeensis is transmitted to humans and animals by the lone star tick. The bacteria causes monocytic ehrlichiosis in humans. The lone star tick is prevalent in eastern Kansas and throughout the southeast and south central regions of the US. Dr. Ganta and his team are working at the ge-

nome level to understand how the pathogen grows in humans, animals and ticks, and how it is uniquely able to adapt to vertebrate hosts and ticks. The goal is to develop a vaccine that will prevent the pathogen from developing in the first place.(JAVMA News, December 1,2014)

Canine Influenza

Canine Influenza continues to be on the list of AVMA as one of the most common communicable canine diseases. The animal Health Diagnostic Center at Cornell first identified the virus in 2004 in conjunction with a University of Florida study on respiratory disease in racing Greyhounds. It was later found to be related to an equine virus and continues to move slowly through the canine population. Infection is spread through respiratory secretions and contaminated objects â&#x20AC;&#x201C; clothes, bowls, leashes. The virus can survive 48 hours on human hands, although humans cannot contract it. Dogs can be ill and not show signs, such as coughing, fever and stuffy noses. Fatalities usually result from pneumonia. A vaccine is available but not recommended for every dog. (Dog Watch, January 2015)

Health Studies Funded by AKC CHF

The AKC Canine Health Foundation has funded studies on what it describes as two major health concerns â&#x20AC;&#x201C; epilepsy and hypothyroidism. Sam Nicholas Long, PhD., at the University of Melbourne, will receive $116,000 and Ned Patterson, DVM, PhD, at the University of Minnesota will receive $194,781. Their goals are to achieve a greater understanding of epilepsy, the underlying mechanisms that predispose dogs to the disease and new drugs to combat it. Drugs today do not provide relief for nearly one-third of affected dogs. The second study is concerned with diagnosing hypothyroidism. CHF considers this one of the greatest challenges in veterinary medicine today. It has awarded Jan A.Mol, PhD at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands $48,195 to investigate methods that may provide a more accurate diagnosis. Improved diagnostic tools could lead to early intervention to prevent the progression of damage to the thyroid. Both diseases impact dogs and humans according to CHF.

New Hope for Dogs Diagnosed with Osteosarcoma Continued FROM page 80

Why is osteosarcoma considered an aggressive cancer?

Mason: It’s aggressive because it metastasizes or spreads early and because the tumors oftentimes grow very rapidly.

What is the prognosis when patients are treated with surgery and chemo?

Mason: The median survival of dogs treated with amputation and chemotherapy is 10 to 12 months. This means 50% of the dogs treated die before one year passes, with those remaining making it out past one year but only 5 to 10% of them making it past two years. The current long term prognosis is very poor.

Please tell me about your research. What are its objectives?

Mason: My research has two objectives. First, as a veterinarian, I am interested in improving canine health by finding a more effective way to treat osteosarcoma. Second, I am interested in finding improved treatments for children who also are affected by the same disease. Any progress we make in treating osteosarcoma in the dog could change the way in which the disease is treated in children.

How do you intend to achieve these objectives?

Mason: By studying the effectiveness of a new treatment for osteosarcoma called immunotherapy. It’s a way to manipulate or “educate” the immune system so it targets and kills certain cancers in the body.

What do you mean by “educate” the immune system?

Mason: We are trying to teach the immune system to recognize metastatic tumor cells in dogs with osteosarcoma. The immune system will then seek out and destroy these cancer cells, wherever they are and so prevent metastatic disease. 152 Dog News

Why is this possible?

Mason: There are three reasons why the immune system holds a lot of promise for treating cancer. First, the immune system has a means of surveillance whereby it continuously looks for abnormal or foreign cells in the body. Second, the immune system has the ability to specifically target a cell that it recognizes. And third, the immune system has a memory. Once it’s educated to recognize tumor cells, it remembers them. Then, if a tumor starts to recur, the immune system will target and kill it before it can cause disease.

Is it true that a patient’s immune system doesn’t recognize cancer as a threat to the body because the tumor is made up of the patient's own cells? Mason: Yes. That’s why cancer is so difficult to treat. However, we can circumvent that by educating the immune system. We can teach the immune system to recognize cancer as a foreign invader. Once that happens, it will attack and kill it.

How do you do that?

Mason: To educate the immune system in our current trials, we are utilizing the listeria bacteria. It causes food poisoning in people. We have genetically modified the listeria so it’s no longer aggressive and damaging to the body. We also have modified the listeria so it expresses a molecule called her2/neu. The her2/neu molecule is expressed by a number of different kinds of cancer including osteosarcoma.

What do you do with the genetically modified listeria?

Mason: We inject it directly into the bloodstream of a patient diagnosed with osteosarcoma. When the patient’s immune system detects the listeria, it's activated and mounts a response. This means it attacks and kills all of the listeria that was injected. But it doesn’t stop there. The immune system also searches the body for any cells infected with listeria. Because the listeria bacteria were genetically altered to express the her2/neu molecule, the immune system

thinks her2/neu is part of the listeria bacteria. Therefore, it is directed to kill anything that expresses her2/neu, which includes the tumor cells. By doing this, we have effectively educated or trained the immune system to attack and kill osteosarcoma cancer cells.

How effective is immunotherapy? Could it be used in place of surgery and chemotherapy or is it done as a follow-up?

Mason: Those are the questions we are trying to answer with the two trials we are conducting. In the first trial which we already completed, we took dogs that underwent amputation and chemotherapy and educated their immune system with immunotherapy. The results were quite exciting. In the first trial, 4 out of 5 dogs survived longer than two years and three remain tumor free. That’s pretty amazing when one considers the median survival rate is only 10 to 12 months after treatment.

What about the second trial?

Mason: In the second trial, we are trying to find out if immunotherapy can be used alone to treat tumors or if amputation and chemotherapy still are necessary. To do this, we are using dogs whose owners did not want to have amputation or chemotherapy performed. In addition to pain medication, the dogs in the second trial are being given two doses of palliative radiation, which helps kill the tumor and also stimulate the immune system. Then, we are injecting the dogs with the Osteosarcoma Immunotherapy Vaccine once every 3 weeks for a total of 8 doses. So far, the first 2 dogs in the second trial have survived over 8 months, which is quite a long time for dogs that were diagnosed with primary osteosarcoma and not treated with surgery and chemotherapy.

Has the size of their tumors shrunk?

Mason: At this point, we really can’t say because it’s still very early in the second trial. The dogs are doing very well though with no evidence of metastatic disease, which is encouraging. Continued on page 156

New Hope for Dogs Diagnosed with Osteosarcoma Continued FROM page 152

What does this mean?

Mason: I think we may be looking at an alternative treatment for osteosarcoma that doesn't involve surgery and chemotherapy. The dogs’ progression in the second trial, during the next year, will tell us if this could be an alternative option for patients. At the moment, we don't have a good way to tell if the tumor is being killed other than by doing repeated surgical biopsies of the bone and that is not part of the protocol for the second trial.

You characterized immunotherapy as a vaccine. But you aren’t vaccinating healthy dogs to prevent the occurrence of the disease are you?

Mason: No. That’s an important distinction. We are not using this immunotherapy as a prophylactic vaccine as would be the case with vaccinating a healthy dog to prevent rabies or distemper. The Osteosarcoma Immunotherapy Vaccine is being used therapeutically and is given to treat disease already existing in the body.

Is it possible that immunotherapy might be used as a prophylactic vaccine in the future to prevent osteosarcoma from developing in healthy dogs?

Mason: Yes, it’s possible depending upon the results of my research and additional research done by other scientists.

What’s the prognosis for dogs treated with immunotherapy in conjunction with surgery and chemo and for those only treated with immunotherapy?

Mason: Again, it's too early to tell what the ultimate prognosis will be for dogs treated with the immunotherapy vaccine for the groups that received amputation and chemotherapy and the group that only received immunotherapy.

Is it possible immunotherapy might become a replacement for surgery and chemotherapy?

Mason: Initially, it’s being used after amputation surgery and chemotherapy. But the results of the second trial may dramatically change the standard of care. We will be able to comment more accurately on that in another year or so. 156 Dog News

What, if any, are the side effects of immunotherapy?

Mason: None that we have observed so far. Of all the dogs we treated in both trials, none missed a follow up appointment which is a fairly good indication of how well they are doing and the lack of any negative side effects impacting them. [See the YouTube® video listed below.]

Obviously, the results of your research are exciting news for owners of dogs diagnosed with osteosarcoma and of those breeds predisposed to it. It's also exciting news for people because the results of your study will be extrapolated to the treatment of humans. Is it possible the results of your study might go beyond the treatment of bone cancer in children and affect the treatment of other kinds of cancer in humans? Mason: Yes. Because studies of the her2/neu molecule show it is expressed by 30 to 40% of the breast cancers in women, immunotherapy has ramifications for their treatment. In fact, this vaccine is being developed to treat women with breast cancer to prevent metastatic disease. The dogs in our trials are the first step in the clinical translation of taking this vaccine into the human clinic. Hopefully, the first group of women to be treated with the immunotherapy vaccine trialed in dogs will occur in the next year or so.

Do you believe immunotherapy is a cure for cancer in dogs and humans?

Mason: Again, it’s too soon to say whether or not the vaccine delivers a cure. But I can tell you this. Three of the first five dogs we treated have no evidence of cancer 2-1/2 years after being treated with immunotherapy. That’s pretty amazing considering the disease normally is fatal within 6 to 12 months of diagnosis and traditional treatment. Given that I believe exciting things will be happening in survival rates in the next couple of years.

enali is a 10-year-old Italian Spinoni, who is an osteosarcoma survivor and part of the second clinical trial being conducted by Dr. Mason at PennVet. The dogs in the second trial were treated with the new Osteosarcoma Immunotherapy Vaccine instead of amputation and chemotherapy.

THE SHETLAND SHEEPDOG Continued FROM page 96

several other placements in the herding ranks through the years. Despite the fact that Shelties are herding dogs and both owners have earned herding championships on their dogs, Sacerich and Miller agreed that herding was the most difficult sport for them to master. “Herding is the most difficult by far because of the amount of teamwork required,” said Sacerich.“I had to acknowledge that the dog had instinct that made him better equipped to read the stock. Then, he had to relinquish some control so that I could tell him where we were going to take the stock. You also have the addition of a third party in the equation, the livestock. We had to do a LOT of training and going to seminars. We finally got better once we started raising ducks ourselves. The process of putting the ducks away at night made both of us better at reading and working stock.” “I’m a city person who has never been around livestock,” said Miller. “Even the vocabulary is different from anything I’d ever experienced. Fortunately my first Sheltie had tremendous herding talent. It was her special gift. She was in charge and I was just tried to stay out of her way. Cooper, though, had trouble herding ducks at first. Even though they’re smaller than sheep, they are harder to herd. They demand more concentration and smaller movements. But, after he gained more experience with sheep, Cooper was able to work the ducks just as well. Our biggest problem with herding is that we don’t live on a farm. This means we have to go to a farm with good livestock that is set up for herding and that means anywhere from one hour to three and a half hours on the road one way. While my Shelties have all had herding talent, I had to learn about livestock in order to show them what to do with it. Of course, this also increased the amount of time we had to spend training. One of the real issues in herding with a Sheltie is that you have to find a teacher who is experienced with ‘loose-eyed’ upright working dogs. They must appreciate the working style of the breed and be able to use the style to give the best results. Also, the teacher should have livestock that are accustomed to being worked by many different breeds. I was very fortunate to have expert teachers who were Sheltie-friendly and had Sheltie-friendly livestock. My herding teachers expected my Shelties to do the same exercises as the other breeds but they knew how to train us using the Shelties’ style, strengths and weaknesses. I also had to find farms for trials that had livestock accustomed to being worked by many different breeds.” Despite the breed’s reputation as being willing to do almost anything, Sacerich said that her Shelties do not like being drilled. “If they are doing something correctly, they want to move on so we only train for short periods of time although I do tend to focus on only one activity before an event. I also do a lot of clicker 158 Dog News

training and I give the dogs some breaks to keep them fresh.” “My first Sheltie had an issue with the utility scent discrimination exercise for awhile. When we learned the exercise, the AKC regulations gave us two options. The handler could turn and send the dog to the pile during the turn or the handler could turn, sit the dog and then send to the pile. Then, the AKC changed the regulation so everyone had to sit the dog before sending. Abbie was very upset, thinking that she was doing something wrong. She expressed this by walking instead of trotting to and from the article pile. I had to work on encouraging her to speed up and assure her that she was doing it correctly. Later, the changed the regulation again and returned to allowing both methods of sending to the pile. While Abbie did earn her OTCH, the lesson here is to teach the exercise correctly the first time and hope that the regulations don’t change. Retraining an exercise is very difficult,” said Miller. A problem for Sheltie people who are involved in a number of dog sports is that they can have a difficult time showing in conformation. According to the breed standard, the Sheltie’s coat gives protection to the working dog. “But,” said Miller, “When they are groomed for the show ring, a Sheltie’s coat would not always be appropriate for the work that the breed is supposed to do. Yet a Sheltie that is not groomed according to popular style has difficulty winning in the show ring. There is no good solution to this as there are only two options–hire a professional handler to show your dog or concentrate on the show ring to the detriment of other events. But, this doesn’t always work to your advantage either because a Sheltie that is accustomed to doing many activities may become bored as a show dog. The conformation handler, whether it’s a pro or the dog’s owner, has to be on their toes and entertaining to keep these Shelties alert and interested in being a show dog.”

Clipz (WTCH HTCH ATCH TC Moonglow Chosen Bi Eclipse VCX CD rE MXG MJG HSAds HIAds HXA DSM HXBdM MXF MXP AAD ASA AG AS AJ ATDdsc OTDdsc JS-E-OP RS-E-OP HTADIIIsd HRDIIIs), Cheryl Sacerich’s Shetland Sheepdog, is the breed’s second triple champion following in the pawprints of his grandfather who was the breed’s first TC.

Although the breed is highly trainable, there are some issues that responsible breeders face which stem from the Shetland Sheepdog’s popularity. One significant issue is unstable temperaments. Way too many Shelties are being bred by people who have no idea what is involved in breeding good tempered dogs and as a result, obedience trainers are saying they are seeing more and more Shelties that are high strung, skittish or yap incessantly. In addition, the breed faces a depressingly long list of serious health concerns including epilepsy, bleeding disorders, heart disease, joint problems, endocrine system disorders, skin problems and other issues. The American Shetland Sheepdog Association provides support for research into these health problems and is actively encouraging breeders to test for those issues where a reliable test exists as well as refrain from breeding dogs which exhibit many clearly genetic disorders where no test is available. “We’re also dealing with a split in the breed between working dogs and show dogs,” said Sacerich. “It’s not easy to get the whole package in one dog. For that reason, multi-titled dogs in the breed are important to the future of the breed. While a dog needs to be pretty and put together well enough to float around the ring, you also need a brain and personality to go with that prettiness.” Miller agreed. “The multi-titled dogs we have in the breed are a model of success for everyone who loves this breed whether they be breeders, dog show participants or trainers/handlers in performance events. There must be a blend of the temperament, intelligence, desire to please, good structure, endurance and ability to move well for success in all activities. The multi-titled dogs represent the best in the breed as they have to possess all of these traits in order to be successful. Breeders must realize that not all o their puppies will be conformation champions and be supportive of those puppy buyers who do many activities with their Shelties.”

Scorpio October 23- November 21 The determination that Scorpio will radiate coming into the first quarter of the year will be astonishing. Try not to cramp their style with over disciplining. They will not respond well.

Capricorn

December 22- January 19 Giving it all they got, Capricorns will strut their stuff, and mark their spot by winning and not whining.

Aquarius

January 20- February 18 All Aquarius breeds will feel a little too rushed and forced if patience is not practiced while handling them during training and shows.

Pisces

Sagittarius

November 22- December 21 Happy-go-lucky Sagittarius will dive head first into new adventures. They will feel the luck of the horseshoe on their side.

country accusing me of promoting incorrect type and all negative remarks were promptly removed out of respect for the owners and handler. Social media has a lot to answer for. Later in the day I was asked if I could step in and judge the Best Owner Handled in Show where my winner was a black (American) Cocker whose handler I have since discovered is the talented Jeffrey Hanlin, many of whose imaginative photographs I have admired in the past. We had another relatively early night and then on Thursday it was back to the Centre for another 8 a.m. start and without doubt what was the most exciting day of the circuit for me when I judged for the Central Florida Kennel Club. First on for me were Bulldogs and I so enjoy the luxury of judging the breed on the ramp, something that the British Kennel Club will at last be trialling at Crufts this year. I liked enormously the Specials male that I believe is the Number One ranked dog in the breed. His type, agility and lack of exaggeration meant that this came as no surprise. My St Bernard BOB, a Champion male, may be considered a little plain in head by some breed purists but to my eye he was totally typical and superbly constructed and balanced, moving accordingly. Then came the thrill of the Boxers – you really can’t beat the adrenalin that comes from sorting out high quality in a breed you love with a large ring and a heavy ringside. It Eventually it came down to a battle between two Specials - a handsome stallion of a red male and the smart brindle bitch shown by Diego Garcia, who had been in the UK judging a Boxer specialty the previous weekend and with whom I had dined the evening before the UK show. My preference was for the red male that was a superb mover and really filled my eye; he has an air of greatness about him. I then moved swiftly on to Standard Schnauzers and again was very impressed with the depth. The BOB, again a Champion male, was a handsome and comfortable winner but given the choice of one to take home I would have happily packed up my BOW, a young male with it all ahead of him; I was intrigued to see that he is a son of the memorable Parsifal that I well remember winning Best at The Garden many years ago. His semen is now 20 years old. After lunch it was another adrenalin rush when I began with Afghans and as always this proved to be part of a learning curve. Given the size of the ring, and the breed involved, I moved and moved t h e m . However hindsight is telling me that maybe I got a little carried away and moved

them too much as the blue Champion bitch I had fallen in love with just began to be “Afghan bitch” on me on the final go-around and was less assertive with her tail. Even so she was my Opposite, and the breed went to the black male I had so admired the previous year that continued to fire on all cylinders in Orlando. The other BOB winners in Lhasa Apsos, English Toy Spaniels, Pekingese and Smoothcoat Chihuahuas pleased me very much, especially the Pekingese male that made a huge impression but still had to get past the National Specialty winner to take the breed. A dinner engagement meant leaving before Best but by now I was well acquainted with the Orange County Convention Centre so it was no hardship. Friday was Specialty day with that marvellous luxury of a lie-in. My Pugs didn’t start until 1.30 in the afternoon which was bliss. Although not huge in numbers there were some interesting dogs to work with but as always in the USA I have a big problem with some of the coats. Judging is all about compromise so what was I to do … downplace the incorrect coats and throw the baby out with the bathwater or just regard the “drag” of the breed (to use that marvellous Annieism) as another fault? The AKC Standard states quite clearly that the Pug’s coat should be “fine, smooth, soft, short and glossy, neither hard nor woolly.” This does not equate to a coat that is so thick and plushy that it needs to be scissored or even clippered. My BOB was a handsome Specials male whose coat may not have been perfect but he had virtues aplenty and was a real performer. On Friday night we had a jolly time at the AKC Judges’ Dinner. How could we not have done when my old pal Steve Cyr and I were in the company of Dennis & Susan Sprung, Ron & Lorna Menaker, Edd Bivin, Elliott Weiss, Gayle Bontecou, Charlotte Patterson and Royal Canin’s Keith Levy? My AKC assignment was for the Saturday when I started with Fifteen Inch Beagles and I was pleased to have plenty to choose from, though some of the awful terrier tailsets still bother me in the US. I was very taken with my Veteran Dog winContinued on page 168

ner that I discovered afterwards was close to twelve years of age. He was an exceptional mover and rather more “British” in type than most in the ring. However on the final goaround he slackened a little in topline which, given his age, was understandable whereas the Bitch Special held her shape at all times and she was a worthy breed winner. I was so happy to see her place second in the Hound Group behind Nathan the Bloodhound under Michael Dougherty. I loved the young Basenji bitch that won the breed under me, a deer red and white with gazelle-like grace and such free and typical gait. She had been a move-up from the puppy class and was celebrating her first birthday the day after the AKC show finished. Thirteen Inch Beagles were next on and here a comfortable breed win went to a very typy mature Champion bitch that I believe came from South America. She was very much my sort and held her stern better than most. I then had very typical Bitch Specials to take the breed in both Sussex and Irish Water Spaniels before embarking on a large entry of Rhodesian Ridgebacks. As is so often the case with this breed type was a little mixed but from the start my eye was taken by a very handsome Male Special that was a perfect blend of strength and athleticism, had type in spades and moved with a rare freedom and power. We took a quick lunch after I’d finished judging as I desperately wanted to watch Standard Poodles as I had heard that last year’s Eukanuba World Challenge winner, Ricky, which later went BIS at Crufts, had travelled from his new home in Peru to compete. I made it in good time and was thrilled to see Kathleen Kolbert put Ricky through a star-studded entry. Later in the day he covered himself in glory in the group ring where Elaine Lessig liked him the best. As I was by now helping the lovely Gina DiNardo in the commentary box it was hard to control my national pride! The big ring programme has already been covered in detail by these pages, and everyone knows what happens. Matisse stepped down one from his last years Best and Good Time Charlie proved that the Skye can shine brighter than the Stars! Few people are more popular in the sport than Larry Cornelius so love abounded as Judge Menaker strode over to him and his impeccably groomed charge. It also wrapped up a spectacular weekend for Charlie’s co-owner Victor Malzoni, Jr., as back in the UK his Wire Fox Terrier had won BIS at the last show of the year, became the most BIS winning UK dog ever and increased his lead for Dog of the Year. I left Orlando somewhat wearily on Monday afternoon but Charlie wasn’t the only one who had had a Good Time!

“FOUR MORE BREEDS!

Spanish Water Dog

Continued FROM page 112

Cirnectona Dell’ E Joining the Herding group, the Spanish Water Dog is a medium-sized dog with a distinctively curly coat. The “SWD” was originally bred as a multi-purpose farm dog and used for herding, hunting, and assisting fisherman. The breed is known to be lively, hardworking, and very intelligent. Spanish Water Dogs are high-energy and do best with an active owner. They’re naturally protective of their family and very loyal. They require little grooming, only needing their coat clipped once a year. For more information on the breed, visit http://www.swdclub.org/.

Boerboel

The Boerboel originated in South Africa and joins the Working group. It is a large, agile mastiff-type breed that was used as a farm dog, as well as a guardian and loyal companion. The Boerboel has strong protective instincts and loves its family. It is not the dog for first-time dog owners. They need daily exercise and their grooming needs are minimal. For more information on the breed, visit http://www. americanboerboelclub.com/. 170 Dog News

The Cirneco dell’Etna hails from Italy and joins the Hound group. The Cirneco is a hunter that works by scent, sight, and hearing. The breed has an independent temperament, and is intelligent, inquisitive and affectionate with its family. They need moderate exercise and their short coat requires minimal grooming. For more information on the breed, visit http://www. cirneco.com/Welcome.html

Joining the Herding group, the Bergamasco is known for its unique coat made up of long mats. The breed hails from Italy and worked as a livestock guardian. The Bergamasco is an athletic, sociable and intelligent dog that has a deep desire to please its owner. Despite its coat of long mats, Bergamascos don’t require much grooming. They need very few baths per year and no brushing. For more information on the breed, visit http://bergamascousa. com/.

what has got to be considered one of the top highlights of the canine year. There were semi finals for the four judges to whittle down the finalist to just ten. Judges for the event included Ronnie Irving from the UK, Damir Skok from Croatia, Joey Aramis Lim from Australia and Leif Herman Wilberg from Norway. Their judging took place after the traditional and spectacular parade of all the competing dogs and flag bearers. The press were given a three-minute window in the main ring to come and capture the proud moments of all concerned. The crowd was swelled on Saturday night with local Eukanuba representatives coming to the show and adding to an already expectant gathering. The lights and music built up the whole atmosphere together with commentary by Rony Doedijns and Marina Scott. In short, it all worked; the live streaming was great, the main ring looked fabulous and we had great, great dogs from all over the world, with of course the obvious exception of the Americas. Well done to Show Manager Richard Lensink and his team! From a stunning field of 12 finalists BIS judge Jorgen Hindse, FCI Europe President and President of the Danish Kennel Club, eventually selected ‘Ch. Tricky Ricky from Yarrow Hi-Tech’, the Affenpinscher male from Indonesia representing the World Dog Show

RUNNERS UP Runner Up to the Affenpinscher was the Old English Sheepdog representing Hungary ‘Ch. Bottom Shaker So Easy To Love’. Three year-old ‘’Gina’’ is owned by Jozsef Koroknai and handled by Zsolt Hano, who was exhibiting at the Eukanuba World Challenge for the 7th time. “Tonight’s win was a proud moment for me, as she follows in the footsteps of her very special father,” said Mr. Hano. The First Runner Up was the Maltese from Italy ”Ch. Cinecitta Sacha Baron Cohen’’ with handler Javier Gonzalez Mendikote. It was the second year representing Italy for breeders and owners Franco Prosperi and Stefano Paolantoni. “It was so exciting to watch Sacha in the main ring,” said Mr. Paolantoni. “I often show my own dogs, but it is such a pleasure to see him enjoying himself with Javier and looking fantastic from outside the ring.” Final words go to the winning team, who said after the final: “After winning Best in Show at WDS in Finland, our

conclusion of the Winner show, which saw a Saluki from Sweden take the top spot. The Winner show itself had 3864 entries from 44 countries, perhaps more countries than a World Dog Show. There were also numerous conferences especially on the health, education and behaviour and it was a qualifying show for Crufts 2015. The BIS judge was Gerard Jipping, President of the Dutch Kennel Club, who said at the Press Conference, “When you judge for 40 years and then they asked you to judge the AWS BIS, the main event in your country, you have the impression to have done a good job in your country. It will not be easy to judge BIS for the high quality of the dogs.” In the main ring on Sunday the group winners were Bubbleton Feel The Spirit (Black Puli – DK), Tricky Ricky From Yarrow Hi Tech (Affenpinscher – Indonesia), Kingarthur van Foliny Home (Wire Fox TerrierBelgium),Xastor v.d.

2014, as his “Best of the Best” Eukanuba World Challenge Champion 2014. This now famous dog had swept all before him in Helsinki back in August winning the world dog show under all rounder Hans Lehtinen. TYPE AND CHARISMA “My ring was full of great dogs of so many breeds,” said Mr. Hindse. “All of them were outstanding, and at any time 6 or 7 were potential winners in my mind. In the end it was the Affenpinscher who amazed and impressed me with his type and charisma. He was so full of character and simply demanded my attention at all times!” ‘Tricky Ricky’ is owned by Jongkie Budiman of Indonesia along with breeder Mieke Cooijmans, and is handled by Tortrakul Chaiyah. “Our entire experience at the Eukanuba World Challenge has been wonderful, and Ricky’s win is the most amazing feeling,’” said Mrs. Cooijmans. “With so many great dogs in competition it was impossible to predict. I am speechless!” The Indonesian national anthem was played in the ring after Tricky Ricky's Best in Show win at the Eukanuba World Challenge 2014; the connections of the dog were all so proud with the Indonesian owner and all their Indonesian friends and supporters who had made the trip. 174 Dog News

dream came true once again at EWC in Amsterdam. It is a wonderful ride with the Super Monkey Dog! Our Holland adventure has come to end but our spirit never ends, we will welcome the New Year with high hopes! We would like to thank The Eukanuba World Challenge team, The Amsterdam Winner Show, section judge Mr Aramis Joy Lim, BIS judge Mr Jorgen Hindse, FCI Asia and the Pacific Section, The FCI - all judges and everyone that is with us all the time nothing would have been possible without any of you. We know words are not enough to thank everyone! We share the Eukanuba World Challenge Trophy to all the dog lovers worldwide. Ricky is the world's dog and he loves everybody!” So that says it all really. Well done Dutch KC, Cynophilia, Eukanuba team and everyone who travelled from all over the world with their fabulous dogs! WOW! WINNER SHOW Of course, the show itself was not over and after the Eukanuba party on Saturday night we were all back at the Rai on Sunday for the

JP Rock Star (Siberian Husky– PH),Caramel Apple v. TumTum’s Vriendjes (Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen - NL),: Omar del Tavuliddaro (Bracco Italiano - PT), Chicomy’s Quite Sexy (Black American Cocker – NL), Cinecittà-Sacha Baron Cohen (Maltese – IT) and Qirmizi Ovation “Rios” (Saluki – Sweden). The reserve spot went to the Petit Basset Griffon Vendéen, Caramel Apple v. Tum-Tum’s Vriendjes, and the BIS was the Saluki, Qirmizi Ovation “Rios”. THE FUTURE? What the future holds for this spectacular event is now unsure with the takeover. Representatives of Spectrum Foods were in Amsterdam for the weekend and must have been impressed with the branding and impact made by the whole concept. Major sponsors like Eukanuba are essential for the future of shows like this so we surely all hope for the best. I can tell you that the Dutch Kennel Club and Winners organisers are more than capable of staging the whole weekend again and I suspect more than relish the opportunity.

twenty years of her life—twenty years spent just for this one dog, and this one chance. She smiles as she watches this litter puppy beat the older dogs, gaining the confidence that the dog needs in order to be “the best thing out there.” This story reflects what Doberman Pinscher breeder Carmen Pitts had with CJ (who later became known as Ch. Allure Star Blazing Allistar)—CJ had that “it” factor. Even as a young puppy she was holding her own with the big girls and giving them a run for her money. When CJ was three years old, Carmen and CJ’s owners decided that it was time to “special” her, and to campaign her to be the number one Doberman and Working Dog; not an easy feat. They hired Carissa Shimpeno to have the honor of piloting CJ to this very high honor. In 2010 CJ and Carissa made that dream come true for Carmen. In 2009 she ended the year the #1 Doberman, #1 Working Dog, and #2 All breeds. In Feb., 2010, they won the Working group at Westminster, getting one of the seven covenanted spots on the Green Carpet with the spotlights. Sadly this dream-turned-reality had a sour note that night. During Best in Show two women got past five security guards and walked into the middle of the Best in Show ring carrying signs protesting purebred dogs and show breeders. They completely undermined the moment, spoiling years of work, and spoiling the once-in-a-lifetime moment that these seven dogs and their breeders and handlers were to experience that night. Thankfully the protestors were not shown on TV, and did receive charges against them. These two ladies were protesters from PETA, or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PETA is an Animal Rights group who is attempting, through its various actions, to give animals the same rights as human be176 Dog News

ings. In fact, PETA’s position is officially against not only dog showing and breeding, but against any and all animal ownership. They say that breeders don’t treat animals with respect because they confine them to crates and pens. They do not want anyone to own animals and they certainly don’t want the animals confined to pens (or even worse, crates). AR groups (this is shorthand for “animal rights”) let themselves be heard in ways that often jeopardize the animal’s safety. There are many accounts of dogs being let out of crates. PETA has also been known to put antifreeze in the dog’s water buckets, which could kill the dogs in minutes (this is presumably done to force the owner to give up the dog). Sadly these AR groups aren’t just protesting at shows, they are infiltrating the government and our legislatures. In 2009 147 pieces of legislature were passed in 37 states. They ranged from mandatory spay/neuter laws to all out breed bands (particularly of the “bully” breeds). These new laws make breeding dogs for the average hobby breeder, and attending dog shows, almost impossible. With the new spay/ neuter laws, in which all dogs have to be spayed or neutered, it is likely that pet ownership will be endangered; possibly depriving many Americans the great joys of pet ownership. Unfortunately, breeders have to follow these laws as well, especially hobby breeders whose dogs are their pets and sleep in their beds because they do not have the space on their property to set up a kennel. Furthermore, the laws that attack puppy mills also fall on the hobby breeders as well, thereby putting them out of business because they can’t afford the unnecessary changes that they need to make in order to be in compliance with the code. David Fritsche put the matter well, saying, “This has sparked a war of words.” Yes we are at war, not a military war, but a verbal war between AR groups that claim to be authorities on animals (and the government and pop culture accepting their credentials) on the one side, and breeders and pet owners on the other. This is a serious problem that needs to be addressed today as our rights of pet ownership

“Take for example the exploration of the Americas. The natives that lived here had a gathering culture. But when Columbus and other explorers came to the new world they brought their farming lifestyles with them and imposed them on the natives. This created a cultural conflict with two distinct and opposed worldviews.”

are being infringed upon. If we don’t do anything, pet ownership will likely be taken away from us. The Dog laws today are appeasing the animal rights movement and do not keep the well-being of the dogs in mind. In support of this thesis I will propose three reasons that explain both why this is happening and confirm its truth. First, I will demonstrate that there has been a cultural shift from an industrial culture to a culture of information and rights. Secondly, I will show that animals do not have the same rights as people. And finally I will show that the AR groups are not qualified experts in the field of animals and demonstrate that the current legislations that have been passed (or proposed but defeated) do little to nothing to help the animal, but take away our freedom and rights to be able to own pets. Let’s go back to ancient history when many people lived tribally, nomadically, in caves, and simply hunting and gathering food (not farming). Think of how they lived and how they put dinner on the table. They had to search for food and lived off of the animals they found, as well as some of the fruit and edible plants. The rules and laws had to do primarily with the act of hunting and gathering, not as much with property. Their religion was polytheistic, and if they didn’t find suitable meat and vegetables they determined, “well the gods must be mad at us for something.” They would continue to hunt and gather, and when their supply was depleted they would move on to another region (and maybe have conflicts with other people). But their life was driven by a constant Continued on page 180

Animal Rights or Animal Welfare... Continued FROM page 176

search for food, and their food consisted of animals and plants. Take for example the exploration of the Americas. The natives that lived here had a gathering culture. But when Columbus and other explorers came to the new world they brought their farming lifestyles with them and imposed them on the natives. This created a cultural conflict with two distinct and opposed worldviews. The Europeans brought the Agrarian culture to which they had changed many years ago. Eventually people started to figure out that they could grow their own crops and breed their own animals, which would allow them to have an ever-ready supply of food. This meant that they didn’t have to spend all their time hunting and gathering, but instead could use it for agricultural work, and developing the fruits of civilization. This further allowed the tribe to stay in one place instead of having to move around from place to place. This shift has far-reaching consequences. Now animals were used for work and food instead of just food. This meant that the animals that were used for work were being domesticated and being bred for that particular job that they were made to do. This also changed the governmental structure. A person who found food used to be a hero in the hunting-gathering culture, but now he would be considered a thief. The Agrarian culture also created the concept of private property. Before that the people of the hunter-gatherer culture tended to view the world as fundamentally open to all and everyone could partake of its goodness (they believed in natural bounty). They also viewed themselves as a part of the earth. The Farming culture, and agriculture in general, took this idea away. The children of farmers worked on the farm and the harvest was used to feed the family.

So Columbus did not simply confiscate the land as much as changed the culture and the worldview. One might think that changing something as insignificant as the ideas of a people wouldn’t ultimately change their lives. However, a new worldview created a massive difference in how people thought and acted. The natives did not think that they needed this cultural change, and the settlers settled on a land that did not belong to them. Rather, the settlers took the land and stated that it belonged to them. This created conflict and the two groups had no way of communicating to each other their different mindsets or worldviews. Now let’s move along in history to when some person got a brilliant idea. This person grew excellent hay but did not breed horses. His neighbor bred great horses but didn’t fare so well growing hay. They decided to trade. This created a more specialized farm and the farms no more were growing what they needed, but now made extra to sell to other farmers and started to buy the produce they needed from other farms. This innovation led to the industrial age. Factories started to spring up bringing along them more processed foods, distribution, and the means to be able to produce and distribute quickly and efficiently. Now humans had the time to spend on something other than growing and finding food. Sounds great, Right? Well not really. This once again changed the way things were run. Dad went off to the factory and the kids to the local school. What used to be dominant, family farmers trading with others, transformed into large commercial corporations. And the corporations

got big really fast. Instead of the family growing its own food (or producing one crop and trading), now families were increasingly pushed to earn the money to buy the food that the factories produced. This also changed the government and legislature as well. All of a sudden there was a problem. Some of the corporations were getting too big. So the government tried to fix the problem my making laws to protect the people from the big corporation’s power. Another problem was that both parents started to work in the factory. Naturally, a question arose: “where do we send the kids?” Well, we’ll just send them to school was the answer. This allowed the government to regulate the schools and the education of children—the responsibility of education increasingly shifted from the family to the state. This new situation created something called “leisure time” because the difficulty of the farming life was being replaced by the eight-hour, fiveday-a-week, work schedule. All of a sudden families had more time to go out for entertainment, have a pet for companionship, and socialize after their eight-hour shift. Now all of a sudden things were happening that most of human civilization had never seen before. There were sporting events and various frivolous entertainment forms popping up everywhere. Now, the entertainment industry was a new economic and cultural powerhouse, competing for time and money. This also led to a time of control of information. In the nomadic, hunter-gatherer culture, the person who could most successfully gather food was considered the hero and authority. In the agrarian culture it was the guy who could most efficiently farm and produce the most (and best) food. But in the industrial culture it has become the guy who can control the most information and most successfully influence people’s thinking (especially as concerns their buying habits). A new class is born: the “information elite.” Today we are shifting into this new atmosphere, an atmosphere in which animal rights groups and vegetarianism and veganism can take root. In this new situation, a person who could produce the tastiest meat and would have been considered a hero is now being blamed for abuse. This can be explained a little more completely

“In this new situation, a person who could produce the tastiest meat and would have been considered a hero is now being blamed for abuse.”

Animal Rights or “All of a sudden a cult has sprung up Continued FROM page 180

by showing a progression. In the nomadic, gathering culture finding a cow or some other great source of meat meant the finder would be able to feed the tribe and thus would be called a hero. We can imagine him coming from the hunt to great heroic acclaim. In the agrarian culture, a person finds a cow grazing in his yard, slaughters it, and is called a thief. In the industrial culture it’s nearly impossible to “find a cow,” so an animal must be purchased (following the relevant laws) and sent to the butcher for processing. In the information and AR culture, someone stumbles upon a legally owned animal that isn’t even going to be slaughtered, and uses the legal system to charge the owner for abuse because it is improperly “penned.” Let’s look at the various cultures that I’ve mentioned and how the family is involved in each culture. In both the hunting and agrarian culture, families had more kids because more kids gave more (free) hands for gathering and farming. Johnny was actually worth something in these cultures. He made the expense of having multiple kids make sense because he was basically free labor on the farm. He went out with dad and the other men into the field or on a hunt. But in the Industrial culture and Information culture Johnny is now a liability, even though he is loved. Now he just consumes the family resources, instead of in the Agrarian age when he was an asset to the family farm. Now the average cost of raising a child has greatly increased. According to the department of Agriculture the average cost of raising a child is $234,900. So now the number of children decreases. Instead of the average family in

the agrarian culture, which usually had eight or nine kids, now the number has decreased to 1.3 kids per family. Where Johnny used to play with balls and toys in the industrial age, in today’s age he plays with screens like TV, computer screens, Wii’s and iPhones. He becomes isolated and away from the family. This is completely different than the cultures of the past. With each shift of culture, war usually arises. It used to happen between nations and tribes, but today’s wars are more commonly “culture wars.” Nations of the past had one cultural focus and therefore the men could unite, but America is a nation of many different cultures. We are a very tolerant culture but are bad at coming up with one main focus. Just look at the totally divided political groups and the difficulty our legislators have in getting anything meaningful done. The reasons nation raged war before was because of the differences in how each nation viewed the others—today it’s how one nation views the many cultures within it that causes the culture war. This is what’s happening in the dog world today. All of a sudden a cult has sprung up within our culture with its people saying that animals cannot be contained in pens and must be set free into the wild. They also believe that animals cannot be eaten either and that veganism is the way to go. Even through historically nearly all cultures have eaten not only vegetables, but also meat (and animal byproducts like milk, eggs, and cheese). Another way to see this cultural shift is too look at the various subcultures that exist today. One of these subcultures is the dog world, in which many people spend their time breeding dogs as a hobby and competing with their dogs. For some time dogs have been viewed as “man’s best friend.” They have also helped human be-

within our culture with its people saying that animals cannot be contained in pens and must be set free into the wild.” ings with their work, and provided a way to relax at the end of a stressful day. Dogs also bring a sense of pride and accomplishment when one has successfully competed with them. This sense of accomplishment and pride is especially rewarding after countless hours of hard work have been poured into an animal to help it exhibit certain behaviors—whether jumping over a jump, running through a chute, or looking pretty for a conformation judge. When I first started showing dogs I was deadly afraid of talking to people. I hid behind my mother’s legs and prayed that the people would go away. I hated talking to people on the phone (I still do), and shaking a person’s hand was next to impossible. In order to get a show dog, I had to train my dad’s pet basset for conformation handling. We worked together for six months and I faced my fear of communication with other strangers. Once I got “Lilly” and started winning I started to open up and started to teach other people. Now I get to travel all up and down the east coast showing dogs and teaching people about the things that I have learned and communicate my knowledge about the dogs that I have. Something that was a fear has now turned into a career and a passion for me. And all it took was a simple animal, a dog, to break the ice and allow a shy girl like me to open up. There are many stories like mine in which animals, not just dogs, break the ice and change a person’s life for the better. Animal lovers used to fly under the radar of legislation, but now that is not the case as the government tries to control more and more of society. In this culture of governmental control a person has lobbyists and experts trying to manipulate the system by pushing through legislation friendly to their cause. Or worse, they attempt to get the Supreme Court to rule in their favor—striking down freedoms and bypassing the legislative process. An undercover animal rights person might walk into a kennel that is not in the best shape and determine “oh we need laws to fix this, this just isn’t right.” Instead of going to the owner of the kennel and talking to the person—or simply handling the matter through local channels— people just go straight to the government and demand that laws be made that represent their agenda. Quite often they attempt to force people to take better care of the dogs according to Continued on page 186

Animal Rights or Animal Welfare... Continued FROM page 182

the picture that has been careful constructed in the mind of the lobbyist. Rarely, this “ideal situation” is best for the dog. Moreover, the lobbyists tend to put words in the mouths of dogs—arguing that they are speaking for them—and demand that these dogs need to have “rights” in our court system. This brings me to my second point. Do animals have the same rights as people? In order to fully understand the scope of this question, one must consider the question “what exactly is a right?” Historically rights were based upon a person’s worldview, and in the west this meant the Judeo-Christian worldview. On this view, rights (and duties) flow from the idea that human beings are endowed by God with the attributes of the divine nature, including intelligence, free will, and reason. But in order to fully understand the problem, we need to understand rights as our Founders in our Declaration. These rights are (1) “endowed” (legally, a gift in perpetuity), (2) by our Divine Creator, (3) they are universal (regardless of condition of servitude, etc.) and (4) they are “inalienable” (that is, beyond the reach of government). Do dogs, from this definition, have rights? The short answer is no, they do not have the same rights as humans. The concept of animal rights hinges on two principles. The first is that human beings are the same thing as animals. And the second is that human beings are ethically bound not to use animals for their own selfish pleasures. All one has to do is analyze these ideas

carefully to discover that both of these principles are blatantly false. The Bible says in Genesis, “Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’” God created us in his own image to rule over the animals, both wild and livestock. This really hits the nail on the head. We are supposed to rule over them; therefore, animals do not have the same rights as human beings because they are different than us and are lesser than us. Now this does not mean they we do not need to treat animals improperly. The relationship between people and animals is like a good king over their realm, not a tyrant. God never approved of tyrants (although he did use them to punish his people) and he wouldn’t approve of tyranny in the way that people treat their animals. They need to be given the basic needs of life, which, for dogs, includes the following: exercise, discipline and affection. And when humans do that the animals will provide a wealth of affection in return. The second thing is that God does allow us to eat animals and use them for work. Eating animals and using them for work does not necessarily entail “selfish pleasures.” PETA says that this is simply a selfish use of animals. However, in God’s Holy Scriptures, the absolute standard for all human ethics, animals were eaten after sacrifices and were used to plow the field. This Biblical view, however, goes completely against PETA’s view of animals. PETA’s founder, Ingrid Newkirk, is a declared atheist. Her mission is to make people view animals not as property, but as crea-

“With domestic animals it is the owners of the dogs and cats that have the responsibility not to overbreed animals. The animals themselves don’t have that responsibility.”

tures just like humans, with the same legal rights as humans. She wants this kind of approach to animals even though it’s clear that animals don’t have the same abilities to communicate as humans, they don’t have wills, and they lack the capacity to reason. So now that I have looked at this from a Christian perspective, what would the non-Christian say about this? Would the non-Christian, secular humanist agree that animals have the same rights as people? This is where the definition of rights differs. In order to understand how rights ought to be considered in our Democratic Republic we need to go back to what our Founding Fathers thought about the following things: (a) what are rights? and (b) to whom should rights be given? For the Founders, rights were given to creatures possessing intelligence, free will, and reason. Obviously, only human beings qualify. Animals do not qualify because they do not have the following necessary attributes: 1) Being observed as producing or having produced technological artifacts unique to that species; 2) Being observed as able to communicate from one generation to the next by a recorded language unique to that species; 3) Being observed as basing action on abstract reasoning; 4) Being observed as engaging in inductive and deductive reasoning processes; 5) Being observed as engaging in non-utilitarian artistic activity unique to that species. Even though these principles are not taken directly from Scripture, they still arrive at the same conclusion as biblical theology. No animal—not even the ape—has the ability to reason. Animals can be conditioned to complete certain actions, and even to learn, but they cannot argue, debate, defend propositions, make speeches, write novels, draft constitutions, or write a theoretical history of their species. Moreover, animals learn by direct observation. They don’t learn by imaginative creativity. Animals are simply not the same as humans and therefore do not have the same rights as humans. Also PETA’s Logic for their first principle is wrong. They are saying that since animals and human beings have the same value, it follows that we should be treated the same. In order for this to be true they either have to bring humans down to animals or animals up to humans. Well that is not the way it works in the animal kingdom. Chicken and foxes are animals, but the fox does not treat the chicken in the same way as another fox, he eats the chicken for food. If we were the same as animals, we would be able to kill any prey animal as we want for the basis of survival—just like all the other animals do. Also Animals prey on other animals to keep the ecosystem and population numbers in check. That way no one species gets too out of hand. TO BE CONTINUED IN A FUTURE ISSUE

-for the observant - serving a pretty good Kosher version of this dish. I know it sounds like a contradiction, after all Paella is as far from Kosher as a food can be (other than pork) but a Kosher paella exists and is quite delicious nonetheless. For dessert, churros, that’s where they come from, they are an invitation to a diabetic coma, but one can’t be on a diet when traveling. Andalusia is the most populous and the second largest in area of the autonomous communities in Spain. Seville is the capital and it is famous for its Colleges and University. It is also one of the most sought after and desirable places to live and visit all over Europe. Spain is also the birthplace of several horse breeds, the Andaluzian from Jerez de la Frontera being the most recognizable and many breeds of dogs between officially recognized and rare. Andaluzia is also the native land of a little and vivacious working terrier, which was very useful in the bodegas (cellars) of Andalucia; The Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz. The so called rat terriers were being noted around 1800s - those dogs were very effective in eradicating vermin from stables, barns, warehouses and homes. This efficient small dog (ranges from 14 to 20 inches in height), has a compact, strong body, powerful jaws, and great speed. The Smooth Fox Terrier, one of the most popular hunting terriers in Great Britain, is the forefather of several ratterriers, one of them is the strong minded rat hunter the Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz also known as Andalusian Mouse Hunting Dog, Bodeguero Jerezano, Perro Rotonero Bodeguero Andaluz, Cazarratas, and Perillo Ratonero. All these names indicate the work the breed was originally developed for. In the late 1800s when the British wine merchants arrived to Jerez looking after the local famous sherry distilleries, they came with many Terriers that were working not only on the

188 Dog News

ships, but also exterminating rats living in vineyards or hiding in wine cellars. Those terriers of the English sailors were crossed with the Raterillo Andaluz, a Spanish terrier type dog, and around 1900 the Toy Terrier was added to create the Ratonero Andaluz. In common with the other terriers, the Ratonero Andaluz shows a natural inclination to kill rats and mice, but their killing instinct goes also toward rabbits, hares, badgers and other small game as well. This is an agile, extremely fast, strong, restless and nervous hunter. At any suspicious sound the dog would jump, and run after the prey. This is a very active, lively and tenacious dog. A good guardian, sweet with people but anyhow due their primitive killing instinct they should not be trusted with any other small pets. Due its affectionate and gentle temperament and great adaptability to any situation, the Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz is entering in the homes and the owners affirm that they are wonderful companions easily adapting to any dog loving home. In fact in the modern times hunting rodents is almost needless but the breed as most of the other pets loves to play, especially to play with children. Early education is a must, and the master has to show a firm and confident behavior if not, the dog can develop dominant behavior problems. The Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz has an active temperament typical of terriers, easily adaptable to any environment and situation. They would be as happy living in the wide open spaces of the country as in a small space, or in an apartment in the city if provided with plenty of exercise. The Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz is a small to medium sized breed. The height and the length typically give the dog a square shaped build although females tend to have a slightly elongated body. The skull is flat. The small triangular shaped head is well balanced but gives the dog a rather delicate appearance. The muzzle is long, the nasal bridge straight. The smooth stop is not too pronounced. The

nose of this breed is black. Obliquely set, small, dark brown eyes are slightly prominent and have an intelligent and alert expression. Cheeks are well filled. High set triangular ears are broad at the base and bent forward at the tip. Strong jaws enclose complete dentition that meet in a scissor bite. Long muscular neck is without dewlap. The Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz is an athletic breed. Males measure from 14.6 to 16.9 inches at the withers. Females are generally smaller and stand from 13.75 to 16.1 inches. This breed has to follow its prey in burrows thus the ideal height for male is about 15.75 inches and 15 inches for females. The dog has a compact and slender body. The long back is straight. Loin is short but muscular. The broad strongly muscled has slightly arched ribs. Belly is slightly tucked up. High set tail is carried erect. A Ratonero Bodeguero Andaluz may be born with a bob tail. Natural tails are commonly docked to a quarter of its natural length. This ratter has a short, smooth, dense coat. This breed has a typically white body and a tricolored (black, tan and white) mask. The dogs generally have tan eyebrows that give the dog a foureyed appearance. (From the standard) The little hunter existed in Andalusia for years, but even being considered as a purebred, nobody cared about any official recognition until October 1993. It was Mr. Bartolome Benetiz Perez Luna who finally took this little terrier’s future in his hands and founded the “Club Nacional del Perro Andaluz Ratonero Bodegero”. At the same time the first breed standard was written, and the breed obtained national recognition in 2000 when the Ministry of Agriculture of Spain, and the Spanish Kennel Club (Real Sociedad Canina de Espana) registered the Ratonero as a native Spanish breed. Although fanciers and breeders alike are working for it, at the moment none of the great Kennel Clubs outside of Spain has recognized the breed. Our dear readers will find the complete standard at the Spanish Kennel Club (Real Sociedad Canina de Espana) breeds page.

to be continued or not based on the principals of those in charge of the organizations involved but RULES of course cannot be so interpreted. RULES are meant to be established and followed unless amended or changed by the organization licensing the established events. And this has basically been the way AKC has been run for the better part of its 134-year existence until the last several years that is. Today there seems to be more of a tendency on the part of the Board and Staff to let RULES be interpreted less stringently than in the past particularly in instances where Staff and or Board are experimenting with new ideas that they are attempting to promote. The most obvious example of course is AKC’s own AENC event!

ant some examples of some RULES tweaked--or ignored-six days of straight dog show competition events in the same venue!!!! Come on--add everything up and between the Orlando Cluster, which began on Tuesday for three days in AKC’s rented venue of the Orange County Convention Center (to say nothing of some dogs being exhibited 4 to 6 times each day!), the Friday Specialty events that included all-breed OwnerHandler Competitions held as separate events on days in which no all-Breeds but only Group Shows were licensed and the Saturday and Sunday AENC event so many dog show RULES were ignored, reconstrued or reinterpreted to meet the needs of the show giving organization- the AKC- that one almost gasped in awe and amazement at the audacity of the show givers. One could argue the Rules were merely stretched to meet AKC’s needs but how can anyone explain the phenomenon of 6 straight days of shows at the same site? True it is that AKC rents the venue and the Cluster tries to give the perception that it runs its own shows but ‘neath the surface the truth is known by all and it amounts to 6 days of AKC running the shows. Where else is this permitted or condoned? It’s sort of like when AKC permitted two shows on the same day in LI and made changes to the Catalogue as the show proceeded. You just can’t do this and yet because there was a desire to see this experiment succeed (which in most people’s eyes it did not) so-called adjustments were made to assure at least finality to the shows themselves.

decisions were made on a 4-3-2-1 basis, which is the exact reverse of what the Judges Department advises--this may not be a Rule infarction but it certainly was a surprise change in what AKC normally tells its Judges. Is this to become the norm one must wonder? Additionally the appearance of the Police due to a Judge’s indiscretion in the ring during the Cluster Event and the recording and alleged invasion of privacy by an exhibitor resulted in immediate disruption of the Cluster event--settled by the Cluster or AKC?? No one seems to be willing to give an accurate account of that matter. If AKC settled the dispute that’s only more evidence of AKC’s invasive participation in a Club’s running of its own event.

verall once one got by the philosophic questions raised the running of the Event was really quite extraordinary. The size of the Orange County Convention Center is overwhelming and many an exhibitor clocked walking over 7.8 miles per day on their appropriate apps. Times that by 6 -really 7 days as Monday is set-up day and that’s a total of over 50 miles of walking in a week!!! Not for the faint of heart for sure! There was so much going on I for one limited my observations to the basic traditional conformation show events and missed a lot of the extraneous Friday competitions as well as Agility, Diving Dogs and the like. Attendance at the AENC on Saturday seemed healthy-not so good on Sunday. It was said the evening events for AENC were sold out but when it came to attending the Groups and the Sunday events there were to the naked eye more empty seats than taken seats. The first night of Groups took forever--the second not as tedious or so it seemed to me but I may not have been totally impartial on that score, as most of you Continued on page 194

and I know he was very proud of that as we all are. Gary’s contributions to this sport are immeasurable…his ability & desire to mentor others is unsurpassed and uncommon by today’s standards. The list of people he was involved with, helped or learned from is like an honor roll …a veritable who’s who of dogdom. If you were lucky enough to have met him, you never forgot him. If you were lucky enough to have him as a part of your life as I did, you were truly blessed. He leaves behind a multitude of gratitude from those whose lives he has touched, and we are all so very lucky to have known him. His love for children was unsurpassed, and he was a very eager babysitter at most every dog show for ANY handler who had a child! Patricia Craige-Trotter referred to Gary in her book “Born To Win” as a Master Breeder …this meant the world to him, to be recognized by his peers. I really don’t think he had any

idea how many lives he touched and changed for the better. We all know what he meant to us …a superstar…a mentor…a friend…a confidant…a hero in the world of dogs…OUR FAMILY. On a personal note…Gary was my BEST Friend for 40 plus years. I talked to him on the phone every day. I don’t quite know how my life goes on without hearing his voice…I struggle with this every day. But I will say this …I will endure the pain of his loss as I feel it is worth it, because I was so very blessed to have had him in my life, for most of my life. A few of his closest friends were fortunate enough be able to spend some time with him during his final days, and Norman was by his side endlessly, until that final moment when a Bright New Angel was born. He is survived by his life partner, Norman Patton…his sisters Bonnie & Barbara and his brother Bruce and their respective children who were his beloved nieces and nephews. And a list of friends too numerous to mention who are heartbroken over his loss, but who know how he enriched all of our lives. Thank you for just being you…we all love and miss you so much. Rest now, sweet Gary…until we meet again. Dog News 193

must realize. Quite frankly am still on Cloud 9 weeks later!!! The Meet the Breeds in terms of participation was incredibly successful but all the work seemed to me to be for peer recognition rather than the public, as Saturday’s Meet the Breeds were pretty well packed but was a survey ever taken as to whom was in attendance? I rather doubt that since most people going to Orlando aren’t going for the Dog Show but to amuse their families and themselves with other Orlando attractions or so it seemed to me anyways. Eukanuba’s presence was most positively felt throughout the entire 6 days and particularly at the AENC with Vicki and Jason’s presence a reassuring feature for the future of the event.

Insofar as the Cluster Event was concerned the judging of the Groups and Breeds was uneven at best and this is because in my opinion the Panels were so uneven. Why one person did a breed they had admittedly never touched before and then did the Group in which that breed was assigned. Admittedly he was befuddled and unsure but if the present Judges Approval System so heavily pushed by Messrs. Gladstone and Ashby go into effect we are all only going to see more of this tomfoolery on Judging Panels. Indeed the person was heard to braggadociously say, “I got the group and never attended a Montgomery!!!!” Well poor we breeders if that is the case and Steve gets his way and poor our sport is all I have to say about the future of judging in this country if that sort of attitude becomes prevalent. And quite frankly there were a lot of shenanigans going on there, which appear to be condoned by AKC since its relationship is so close to the Cluster. It’s time for AKC to show a little muscle there insofar as the slates are concerned, I believe anyways.

here were at least two major AKC meetings held during the six days--the Delegates got their usual free lunch and basic tickets to various events, which were used by some but not by most, which may have accounted for the empty seats at night at the AENC-too bad no food or after show party offered-that would have assured an increase in Delegate attendance one would have thought. And then there was the usual Board Meeting-The Board has put off the vote of the Judges Approval Process until the February Meeting, which I believe will be further extended until after the March elections too. The Budget for 2015 was passed without being announced but what was announced the week after the show was that Peter Farnsworth the CFO was let go (as I predicted was going to happen in the Editorial of the last issue of 2014). This probably occurred in the Executive Session held at the start of the meeting, which I believe took 2 and 1/4 hours and from which once again the President was excluded. This is now the second time in consecutive Board meetings Dennis has been excluded from Executive Sessions, which heretofore NEVER occurred! Something unusual going on? One would think so--see this week’s Editorial about the firings in one year of two top officers at AKC-Daryl Hendricks the former COO and now the CFO. Is there an implosion of officer personnel going on at AKC by the Board--nothing publicly for sure but you can draw your own conclusions.

shady shelter operations. For dozens of years now MSN initiatives and an increase in rescue groups have reduced the number of unwanted dogs and cats but in the process they have also given rise to massive interstate and international dog trafficking. This practice has been dubbed retail rescue, where dogs – some with mange, heartworm and rabies – are transferred from areas where there is little or no demand for pet dogs to a r e a s with high demands. Generally speaking there is a low number of unwanted dogs and cats in the Northeast and Northwest but areas in the South still see large numbers of unwanted dogs that are shipped to these areas to fill a need. For example, Northeast Animal Shelter is Massachusetts opened in the 1970s and used to place approximately 300 dogs a year in new homes. In 2008, it expanded to a 13,000 square foot shelter with three isolation rooms to house dogs that it imports and rehomes. It began importing dogs from Puerto Rico, then from Nebraska, and then from five different shelters in Georgia alone. In 2013, it adopted out a whopping 4,400 dogs, with seventy-five percent of them coming via rescue groups from out of state and country. These so-called rescue groups import dogs from wherever they can, including from areas of the world where rabies is endemic. It’s not uncommon to see dogs from Mexico, Taiwan, India and Iraq in American shelters and the U.S. Department of Agriculture doesn’t track how many dogs are transported across state lines nor how many are imported by rescue groups from other countries. Without tougher legislation to regulate interstate dog trafficking and retail rescue we can expect this trend to continue, as 200 Dog News

pet ownership continues to rise and shelter adoption continues to grow as the preferred way to acquire a pet. This is troubling news for the hobby breeder of purebred dogs and in turn the AKC, notwithstanding the fact that some 4,000+ dogs just competed in the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship. These trends combined with detrimental canine legislation can have a significant impact on the premier purebred dog registry, the sport of purebred dogs and the reputable breeders who are its backbone. Packaged Facts, the pet industry experts, reports that pet ownership increased from 53.6 per cent of U.S. households in 2009 to 56.5 per cent in 2013 and that households with dogs have been on a steady increase. However, according to a survey conducted by Packaged Facts in 2013, 67 per cent of dog owners choose shelter adoption over other forms of pet acquisition. Another trend amongst pet owners is that they continue to spend more money on their pets and consider them family members, with the amount of money spent on pet food, supplies, vet care and services such as grooming and boarding all increasing. However, live animal purchases declined from $2.23 billion in 2013 to $2.19 billion in 2014. According to the American Pet Product Association, 2014 was a banner year for the pet industry, with $58.51 billion spent on pets. Ten years ago, that figure was slightly above $34 billion. So, if prospective owners aren’t enticed to seek out and register purebred dogs with the AKC, perhaps the registry will continue to seek other revenue streams and make more efforts to bring mixed breed dogs and their owners into the fold — and more of their money into the coffers —in 2015, much to the chagrin of some old school purebred enthusiasts who rate bloodlines more important than the bottom line, but the shows must go on.

wishes to own/campaign a top dog on almost every level of the sport. Yet, we have always regarded ourselves as being inclusive – meaning a millionaire could compete with a secretary on a level playing field and the secretary had just as much chance of winning as the millionaire. In many respects, this is still true as long as the secretary (who works long hours and shows her own dogs) does not aspire to any top dog status simply because she is unable to take time off from work to show almost every day of the week. The millionaire, however, may have a handler who shows his dog for him. More shows, more dogs defeated, more dogs defeated higher up the top dog totem pole the dog goes. For years many of us who truly care about the direction that our sport appears to be heading have written about this situation and asked why The American Kennel Club – which controls the ultimate final tallies of wins – dogs defeated numbers per breed, group, Best In Show – has not devised a better system that was not dependent on the number of dogs defeated. We have pointed out the fact that dogs with handlers have

an advantage; dogs are acquiring multiple wins under the same judges during a single year; dogs are being flown from one end of the country to the other on the same weekend for the win; and the best dog is not necessarily the dog that is shown the most. We have suggested that the kennel club discard its present dogs defeated system and adopt something that weighs the number of times a dog is shown against its defeated number; only counts one win under the same judge at a single level of competition; exclude wins from one end of the country to another or in between on the same weekend/week; and take steps to somehow stop this mad dash of having shows almost every day of the week. AKC’s answer to all this appears to be leaving everything as it has always been and instead adopt a new point system based on dogs defeated with a new competition aimed at the Owner-Handler – no professional handlers are allowed to compete. This competition takes place after regular class judging and to this day is still confusing to most – the exhibitors who have to mark a box on their original entry form, the stewards who have to figure out who is eligible based on those

who have an asterisk opposite their entry in the stewards’ book, and the judges who are left to wait while others figure out who is and is not still eligible based on whether defeated or not at whatever level. Some owner-handlers really like the competition – it gives them an opportunity to take home more prizes; others cannot stand it. Some clubs like it because they believe it increases entries; others do not because they do not feel it increases entries; it costs them money and ring time; and they hate the fact that AKC’s Board mandated that they must hold the competition if they wish to hold any of the other Non-Regular Competitions, such as Best Puppy In Show, Bred-By, Veteran. So, where does this leave us? We still have too many shows. We are still floundering with an antiquated point system that means nothing at the end of the day. We have developed an exclusive side competition (OwnerHandler) without thinking it through properly. In short, we appear to be stumbling along. Will 2015 be any different? Only time will tell, but I would not bet the bank on it!

THE AENC

Sans The Eukanuba World Championship

Continued FROM page 91

tion receives from their outlay. Hopefully Mars will realize the direction Eukanuba operates in is the best for the long term success of the corporation. Hopefully any fanciers, if choosing between using Pedigree and Eukanuba, will choose Eukanuba. The major change to the show this year was that the European division, now also being sold by Procter & Gamble, decided to move the World Challenge from Orlando to the Amsterdam Winner Show. That was a clear sign that the European division had no concern for the well being of the North American division. One would think that since these two major corporations share the same name, Eukanuba, they would share some common interest for the worldwide interest of the sport. I have always wondered why the World Challenge has not been held in conjunction with the World Show. This way it would move to different parts of the globe each year. Many of the top winning dogs of the world do go to the World Show to compete with the exception of the non-FCI countries. Moving the World Challenge this year brought a big change to it also. There is an old saying “United we stand, divided we fall”. With Eukanuba being split into two separate companies, I am sure the financial resources have changed dramatically. In previous years, 40 to 45 countries were represented from around the world. I heard estimates that it averaged out to about $10,000 per dog. This would run about $400,000 just to have the dogs there competing. The airfare for handlers, dogs, President of the country and expenses in Orlando could be astonishing for some of the dogs competing and they paid the way for one and all. I am sure the way the European division organized the show was mainly controlled by financial restrictions. I believe 31 dogs competed this year with the vast majority within a short radius of Amsterdam. Twenty of the competing dogs were from Europe. The Asia/Pacific corner of the world had 8. There was 1 from Africa and 2 from the Western Hemisphere. People were not used to paying their own way to the EWC show. While judging in Amsterdam recently, I realized just what a short drive it was for exhibitors from England and Scandinavia and most of Europe. I am sure very few dogs competing in the World Challenge had to fly to Amsterdam. This year the cost of the World Challenge had to be a drop in the bucket compared to what it once was. Hopefully the future World Challenge will be held in conjunction with the World Show. The Philippine Circuit this coming January has attracted 22 different countries that will be competing. That alone is 208 Dog News

close to the number that competed in Amsterdam. Dinky Santos has developed that event into one of the great attractions we have in the world today. Since it is in January, the weather is attractive and it certainly would be a place to consider holding the World Challenge. Yes, this year our AKC/Eukanuba went through some large changes, as it has done since the very first show, which only had 1,527 dogs. Now with the entry being nearly three times the size each year the growth has to be accounted for. As much as many of us loved being in Long Beach, the show has outgrown that being possible. The last show held in Long Beach had 2,600 dogs. Just with that number some of the grooming had to be outdoors, agility was outdoors on ground that was partially under water, etc., etc. The Long Beach Convention Center cannot accommodate 5,000, which include agility, rally, obedience, etc. There are so many factors that make Orlando the perfect choice. Mainly the size of the Convention Center, hotels, the airport having direct flights from anywhere in the world, great weather, etc. Financially it is also less costly for exhibitors being in Florida compared to California. I have to admit I was disappointed to see the World Challenge leave Orlando, but I can always get to see these dogs at the World Show, Crufts or in my travels around the world. Not having the World Challenge allowed

more time to see several areas of the sport within the States being able to be showcased more. I do not agree, but there were people who felt the World Challenge overshadowed some aspects of our National Championship Show. I think it only added to the greatness of the show. Due to Eukanuba splitting up, there was no feasible way to continue it in the States. It would be great if the European Eukanuba can come up with more revenue to bring more dogs to represent more corners of the globe. I am sure they would like to bring it back to the “glory days” it was when held here in the States. Maybe the North American division will be able to maybe establish a Western Hemisphere World Challenge. Yes, it was a major change to the show, but it allowed more time and effort to be devoted to the overall sport of dogs in our own country. That is the reason this show was originally founded. In the long run, moving the challenge is actually in the best interests of our AKC/ Eukanuba. In an article to follow, some of these changes and impressions will be aired.

Letters to the Editor RE: EDITORIAL ON DELIVERING PETS ON CHRISTMAS DAY In regards to your recent editorial, I saw on the television the other day, that the Peggy Adams Shelter in Palm Beach County is also delivering pets on Christmas morning. Their shelter director or spokesperson stating that this was actually one of the best times to add a new family member. He also said in so many words, that the poor idea of adding a new pet to the family over the holiday season was just a myth that has been perpetuated for years. Pat McGowan Ocala, FL (Ed. note: OH, REALLY?) RE: WILLIAM L. KENDRICK’S CRITIQUE OF THE FOX TERRIER SPECIALTY APRIL 1959 REPRINTED IN THE 12.12.14 ISSUE OF DOG NEWS Having attained my 80th year and with more than 35 years in the sport, 34 years as a judge of Terriers, I truly appreciated the printing of this critique. Not I nor anyone I know could come close to it. My daughter Kathy Ferris has written some good ones to be sure. I recall many who are named in the article. Thank you, I will keep it in mind. All judges should read and absorb it. Fred G. Ferris Middletown, CT

Subject: FW: AKC Judges’ Blacklist We received the below email (which speaks for itself) from AKC recently, and we want to forward it for your information since a good number of you are involved with foreign assignments. As you can see, the AKC is handling it correctly. Wallace H. Pedé CEO, Senior Conformation Judges Association www.scja.org Dear Wally, Gerry , and Joe, AKC has been made aware that the Asia Pacific Section of FCI, has begun to blacklist AKC judges , who have judged non-FCI shows in countries where there is an FCI member club. While FCI has applied this policy to its own judges for years, this is the first time that it has been imposed on AKC judges, contrary to the reciprocal judging agreement between

AKC and FCI, which makes no reference to this practice. As we believe that this reciprocal agreement may only be modified mutually rather than unilaterally , I have sent the communication below to the President of FCI, copying the FCI officers as well as all registries comprising the FCI’s Asia Pacific Section with which AKC has judging reciprocity. This is just informational in the event you hear from members of your organizations, who may be impacted, about it. As I indicated to Mr. de Santiago, unless the matter is resolved by then, the AKC Board will be addressing the issue at their next meeting in on February 1213, 2015. Best regards, Jim James Crowley, Executive Secretary Rafael de Santiago, President Federacion Cynologique Internationale Dear Rafael, This concerns the “ Blacklist” of American judges implemented by The Asia Pacific Section of FCI. The judging attachment to the FCI/AKC Letter of understanding lists two conditions which must be met for an AKC breed judge to judge an FCI show. The same criteria applies to an FCI judge being approved to judge an AKC show There are also criteria listed for Group and Best in show judges, with the caveat that both FCI and AKC may choose to invite or not invite particular judges based upon their experience, judging credentials , and the number of dogs in a group they are eligible to judge.. As we advised you in September, it had been brought to our attention that one Section of FCI has unilaterally taken action to ban AKC judges, who while meeting all of the required criteria in the reciprocal agreement, have judged at a non-FCI show in a country where there is an FCI Club. This was specifically discussed at the last meeting between FCI and AKC in New York, and when

contacted, you indicated that neither you nor the other members of the Executive Committee had advance notice of the Section’s action. You were to speak with Mr. Santos at your November meeting , and immediately let us know the outcome. However, we have heard nothing and AKC judges have now received official notification that they have been blacklisted, and will not be approved to judge FCI shows held in the FCI Asia Pacific Section countries. We acknowledge the right of the FCI to establish whatever criteria it wishes for approving visiting judges. That would include criteria established by individual sections within the FCI structure, as they apparently have the autonomous authority to implement such actions. At the same time, AKC reserves the right to modify the conditions or reciprocity accordingly. The AKC board will be given an update in February, 2015, when it holds its next meeting. While the final decision to take or not take any action, and the specifics of such action, if any, would rest with the Board, we wanted you to be aware of the information being provided to the Board with the AKC management recommendations, which would only affect FCI judges residing in the countries comprising the FCI Asia Pacific Section. The Asia Pacific Section has unilaterally negated the reciprocal judging portion of the letter of understanding between AKC and the FCI per the letter below, and the subsequent denial of approval for some AKC judges based upon this letter. At its February, 2015 meeting, a recommendation will be made by AKC’s management to the AKC Board of Directors that judging approval immediately be withheld and withdrawn from any FCI judges from the member countries of the Asia Pacific Section of FCI as long as this section’s unilaterally adopted “ Black List” remains

in place. As it is our understanding that this “ Black List “ only applies to shows held within the area covered by the FCI’s Asia Pacific Section, the recommendation to the AKC Board will be that its action be limited to the judges from countries in that Section. FCI and all affected FCI members, with which AKC has reciprocal arrangements on judges, which we have copied on this communication, will be notified immediately of any action taken by the AKC Board at its February, 2015 meeting . FCI judges residing in countries comprising the Asia Pacific Section, who have judged in the United states in the past two years, would also be notified if there is any change in their approved status as a result of the FCI Asia Pacific Section’s action.
