the editorial

SETTING AKC APART FROM OTHER DOG REGISTRIES Why should you register your dog with the AKC other than the fact it is a not-for-profit organization and the largest purebred dog registry in world? Well there are any number of legitimate reasons to so do including its devotion to assisting tens of thousands of volunteers and teachers across America to teach responsible dog ownership and safety around dogs. It of course also created and supports the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation, which funds research projects focusing on the genetics of disease, the canine genome map and clinical studies. AKC has donated over $20 million to the AKC CHF since 1995. Name one other dog registry that comes even close to caring about the health and welfare of the dog in this substantial, a financial manner. It is the only dog registry that incorporates health-screening results into its permanent dog records. Dogs certified to be free of hip or elbow dysplasia through OFA and dogs certified to be free of eye diseases through CERF have their clearance numbers printed on AKCcertified pedigrees and registration documents. We’ve come along way, “Baby,” haven’t we!! By founding and funding CAR, AKC has reunited more than 380,000 lost pets with their owners and supports Canine Search and Rescue throughout America. It conducts thousands of kennel inspections annually through company paid inspectors to monitor care and conditions at kennels across the country which helps to not only insure the integrity of AKC’s registry but puts a giant damper on registering puppy mill bred dogs. Furthermore over the past several years it has developed and operates a Government Relations Department, which is, as sophisticated as they come to provide input and keep people abreast of all federal, state and local legislation affecting dog ownership on every level. In addition AKC has joined hands with PetPartners, a pet insurance company to provide pet insurance to help reduce veterinarian costs. These are just some of the projects undertaken by AKC on a unique basis. Every concerned

breeder has the obligation to thank AKC for these services, which affect the health and welfare of their breeding programs by registering their litters with AKC. In addition one would hope that individual dogs are registered with AKC as well to assure the continuation of these kinds of programs and to develop new concepts to protect our dogs as time goes by. THE OCCUPATIONAL INELIGIBLE CONUNDRUM Delegates and Judges alike are faced with the restrictions, which prevent certain occupational practices from allowing them to partake in those programs. Adopted in many instances decades ago and deemed no longer practical or fair today it is time to take a broad look at these restrictions and refine them considerably if not totally do away with them. First of all in all too many instances they are administered on a selective basis, which has the overall effect of rendering them discriminatory. Furthermore in the case of the Judge 10 Dog News

restricting the professional handler can result in the breeder/exhibitor of being deprived of a worthy and well-versed opinion whilst opening the doors to less competent individuals. As to the Delegate Body the need to open the doors to anyone in good standing with AKC should be so obvious as to defy description. Yet the Delegates year after turn down any and all attempts to introduce not only concerned individuals within the sport but also look askance at the non-dog person as well to serve on AKC’s Board. These attitudes must change!!! MITT AND NEWT AND THE BOARD ELECTIONS Obviously spurred on by the mudslinging in South Carolina and Florida, many Delegates have turned this year’s Board election into a miniature negative political primary. These AKC elections are not political power plays-they must be geared and oriented towards the people who will look for the best interests of the dogs— not themselves. Some of the untrue and scandalous stories being spread about certain candidates either for the Board or as for Chairperson are just downright repugnant. Some of the tales are malicious enough to be labeled slanderous at the least. Should the initial rumor spreaders be found they should be drummed out of the Delegate Body for sure? It’s one thing to be opposed to someone for philosophical reasons and another to make up falsehoods, which enrich the dog community not at all, and makes us all the poorer indeed. INTERNET BULLYING The rising number of Internet bullying cases in the UK has caused its KC to include references to what constitutes unacceptable cyber behavior in its code of conduct. Of course whether AKC has the authority to censor material on the Internet at all, or to censure material on the Internet has not yet been tested but in those cases, should they arise where it occurs by those in an official capacity-breed club or otherwise-that sort of conduct may be considered unacceptable. Ultimately the best way to deal with offending material is not to read it and never to engage in exchanges, which are felt to be inappropriate either to you or dogs in general. Those who have reached certain pinnacles in dogs seem to be most subjected to these attacks but those on the way up seem to be targeted as well. Ignoring these attacks seems to be the best advice but frequently that’s difficult to do, isn’t it!!

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK Westminster is upon us-can it really be!! With the construction going on at MSG and the changes made to both the arena and the remaining grooming areas is there a person among us who is not facing the coming show with a bit of trepidation? But you know something! These pages have faith in both the exhibitors and the Westminster Committee to overcome the problems and with you we heartily look forward to the 136th Annual Show of the Westminster Kennel Club.

Dog News 13

BY Dr. Patricia H. Haines Competition…it makes the sport go.

nfortunately many of the current dog show rules and policy changes from the American Kennel Club do not seem to understand this fact. Passing out ribbons and artificial titles is not what the fancy and breeders of our purebred dog sport strive for. Policies and programs that only recognize participation will result in further decline and decay of our sport’s fiber and continue to reduce breeders within our fancy. It’s easy to see the impact of a good policy that promotes stronger competition. The AKC/Eukanuba Invitational with its strong bred by exhibitor competition is evidence that if the leadership does it right, the participants will come. More importantly, the breeders will come and the breeder will produce our next generations, our future competitors. The concept of the grand champion was developed with the intent to allow the opportunity for continued competition with quality champions as many breeders and exhibitors saw no incentive to compete against heavily campaigned champions within their breed. The original concept worked very well as the number of entries in BOB competition increased. However, the next step of awarding different levels of titles completely missed the point of competition and turned to, the more you enter the more we will reward. The original intent to enhance the program was to provide rankings within breeds, within regions or locals, not to reward participation. Many in the ‘governing body vacuum’ only see the sport through the eyes of a judge, those of an individual club or those of a past participant. They fail to see the fallacy of the policies such as 6 group placements. The argument for this rule change includes that many times a judge wants to reward more exhibitors and it will make more exhibitors ‘happy’. The fact is, with strong competition there must be winners and losers. Why stop at 6 ribbons, why

not 8 or 10? The reserve best in show is also an example of an unnecessary award that does nothing to improve or increase competition; again it tends to minimize competition, making more winners and fewer losers. Group realignment is again, a policy that will not increase competition. In contrast, at the vast majority of shows it will result in the handing out of now six group ribbons in weak competition. Current policymakers believe this will increase participation, again not understanding that the sport NEEDS competition. The group realignment concept is another policy derived ‘in the vacuum’ of the political governing body with its plethora of representatives of the judging community and focus on clubs. This policy is not for the benefit of the breeders and exhibitors. The delegate body is again returning to the push for awarding a major for a national reserve win. Of course that is a significant win 14 Dog News

Board with no point recognition, but why should it gain points for a championship? It was not a win! Another dangerous policy created in ‘the vacuum’ that will lead to the slippery slope of points for any significant reserve win. What policies will benefit the breeders and exhibitors? We clamor for policies which will decrease the number of shows and force larger entries, especially within class competition. As a breeder, it is hard to plan an additional litter or next generation when it is so difficult to finish your current dogs due to the lack of competition! Or worse, when you see no point in presenting quality dogs in good condition to the ever increasing number of judges who have no appreciation of quality or condition. We clamor for an AKC ranking system that will recognize dogs that win in competition, not just those attending the most shows. The lack of attention to this issue is a disgrace to our sport and especially to our dogs. The board did offer a short lived moratorium on the number of increasing shows, but once again the political pressure of the ‘governing body vacuum’ forced capitulation. Decisions made with little regard for the input of those who are the breeders and exhibitors of the DOGS continue to force poor policies that in the short term benefit certain clubs, but in the end minimize the sport. Another missed opportunity to enhance competition is the recently announced Amateur Owner Handler competition. The original concept of this competition, created in the judging department directed by Darrell Hayes, would have created a unique ranking system for amateur owner handlers based on existing competition. The new program sees a handful of clubs allowed to offer the event as a one-time competition “separate and apart” with unannounced group judges. Recognizing amateur owner handlers is a very positive step, but we wish for recognition of our wins in our current competition, not in a ‘separate and apart’ system. Disconnect between those who exhibit, compete and breed our conformation show dogs and those in the ‘vacuum’ of the governance continues. The governance structure of today’s AKC has the political mind-set that the clubs are the priority customers of the AKC. The reality is the real customers are the fancy, those who breed and exhibit the dogs. The leadership of the AKC must promote conformation event policies and rules that look to the good of the sport and the continuation of strong competition, not to the politics within the governance structure.

THE JOY OF INTERNATIONAL JUDGING APPOINTMENTS

hat a great feeling: You have finally made it or at least you have caught the eye of some surely very talented dog person from another country. An invitation turns up in your mail box, they want you to come and judge a breed specialty in another country. Fantastic. There are a multitude of Happy Memories from judging abroad to talk about, I could mention trips to the UK, US, Monaco, Italy, Spain, Scandinavia etc., etc., but the ones you remember best are the ones that in some ways were different. Judging in most countries is very exciting, you often meet great judges from a variety of countries who share your passion for this sport. You’re normally picked up from the airport, wined and dined, simply having a good time- often quite educational- even outside the ring!

Anyway- still filled with optimism and anticipation- I headed for Heathrow and the short flight to the airport where I would be picked up by the secretary and transported to my hotel. The secretary whose name I think was Gerda with her sister Helga greeted me in the arrival hall with a huge sign and she immediately told me that she was the one who invited me as she was the only one in the club that could speak English!! And I was of course flattered when she told me how wonderful my own dogs were and how happy she was to have my bloodlines in her pedigrees! Then the car ride from Hell started. Sister Helga in the back seat, me next to Gerda in front. At first all was fine, but we reached Autobahn and something happened. Gerda went through an instant metamorphosis, changed from a sweet little lady to a bloody Monster! Holding on to my seat whilst Gerda was piloting her Mercedes in and out of lanes in 130 miles + per hour, I quietly asked how long this drive would take? Probably 2.5 hours without traffic, was the answer- and I immediately felt sick. My only comfort and consolation was that Gerda probably had been driving like this her entire life, had reached the age of 70+, so with a little luck we might also survive this experience. For the next 2.5 hours Gerda kept talking. About her current “star” who the previous week had won Best in Show at a HUGE show in Switzerland and then went on and on about all this bitch had won during the year, occasionally prompted with important details by sister Helga in the back seat! All the time she spoke, she looked at ME and not at the road!! After 1.5 hours I politely asked if we were going to pass a public rest area or if she just could make a quick roadside stop. I was told, “We will soon be there, so just hold on.” Which I barely did, Then we left the Autobahn, and I thanked God for still being alive. But would you believe it, she continued at the

By Geir Flyckt-Pedersen 18 Dog News

Well, as you have guessed by now, we did make it and Gerda also her hair appointment. The hotel was an old castle-like building, reminding me of Hans & Gretchen, a tiny room with a shared toilet/bathroom (with 6 other rooms) in the stairway. Dinner at 7.30, Gerda apologized for not being able to attend as she had to trim her dog! The dinner was another exciting experience. When I arrived in the dining room at 7.30, I was met by the President of the club who brought the receptionist along as interpreter. My attempts to explain that I actually spoke German fell for deaf ears- and I was then told by the receptionist that the President regretted that they would place me on a separate table, as all the people in attendance were showing the next day! So I finished my Wienerschnitzel and sauerkraut in complete solitude. Then decided my room was a better alternative. But it was not. The room was just above where the show dinner took place and no doubt they had a great time, the singing and loud talking went on forever, but in the end I supposed I dozed off for a couple of hours. Wake-up call at 6 am, pick up at 6.30 for an hour long drive to the show. The driver did not make any attempt to speak and my attempts to speak with him in German failed. So maybe my command of the language was not as good as I thought?? 10 minutes or so before arriving at the show the driver made a phone call. Getting out of the car I noticed this long line of people, just standing there side by side. Did actually remind me of when the Queen after a Royal Performance at the Opera goes back stage to greet the artists. Fortunately by now Gerda was back from her hair appointment, looking immaculate, and I was introduced to the President, but this time accompanied by his wife, son, grandchildren, several members of the committee, their spouses and children, plus a few local celebrities in attendance. The judging started. Gerda was my steward. And into the ring they came in class after class, the president, his wife, his son, his grandchildren, the committee member and their spouses, even some of the celebrities. The instructions given to me: Dictate the critiques to Gerda in English and she will read them out to the ringside in German. She did and all went well, she did a pretty good job until it came to the president’s family’s dogs. She had obviously forgotten that I could understand what she said as she decided to edit and rewrite the critiques for his dogs. Much to my amazement she seemed a little embarrassed when I made her aware of this and said: From here on we write the critiques in German and I read them out. Didn’t happen, but the later translations were quite exact . The overall quality of the dogs was poor and so was presentation/handling ! The vibes from ringside were not good and Gerda told me it was because I had not graded the dogs high enough to qualify for the “Jagdchampion” title.

babbling

But this one was special. It happened a few years ago while we were still living in the UK. I was very happy about this invitation as it was a specialty for two of my favorite breeds, Smooth-and Wire Fox Terriers. As usual I got the invitation a year or two before the show, so I had a long time to look forward to the trip and as it was a German speaking country, I took a little time to refresh my knowledge of that language. For several months I was speaking to myself in German- and little by little the vocabulary returned from some obscure place in my brain I did not even know existed. Some continental friends tried to dampen my enthusiasm by telling me that the local club that invited me was mainly run by hunters and farmers- there would be a lot of good working terriers, but the show-quality would not be the best. The only reason this club held their shows was in order to make their dogs Jagdchampion (Huntchampion), they needed,I believe, a “Sehr Gut” grading .

same speed through a heavily wooded area, every mile or so there was warning signs for Deer and Elk . But Gerda (and even sister Helga in the back) still totally unabashed by my obvious fear for my life: She had to get to the hotel on time as she had a hair appointment at 5.30.

Fortunately, as the day went by, some excellent dogs of both breeds turned up in the Open and Champion classessome of these classes were really excellent. As the Champion bitch class enters the ring, Gerda comes up to me saying: “Mr Pedersen I cannot steward for you during this class as the bitch I told you about yesterday is in it, so my sister will take over. The bitch is that beautiful bitch with the girl in green over in that corner.”

Well, Gerda’s bitch did not win and the owner was fuming without saying a word. She came back into the ring, continued her job as a steward, but did not speak a single word to me for the rest of the day. After Best in Show I was told by sister Helga (Gerda still refused to speak with me) that the same man who picked me up at the Gasthaus would take me back there and the next morning someone would bring me to the airport. Well, you might have guessed it already. The next morning nobody turned up and when I realized it was now or never, I was able to get a taxi back to the airport at an enormous expense. And happily I made my flight and the joy of meeting people willing to speak with me at the airport filled me with gratitude! Afterward I nearly had a shock when I found that Gerda’s beautiful bitch did not have a drop of my bloodlines in her body!!! I never heard from her again. Just so you know, it ain’t all glory!

As a Professional handler what was the most difficult show you worked and why?

DIANA WILSON That question should have been prefaced with aside from Westminster because of all the crowds, crowded space and benching rules.

the

BERGIT KABEL WESTMINSTER Kennel Club. There is not enough room for grooming or taking proper care of dogs. It is hard to get to the water and even harder to get anywhere once all the spectators are allowed in the Bench & grooming area.

of the

LESLEY BOYES Years ago Great Western had their show in a dirty, filthy (huge) park somewhere near Los Alamitos. The rings were up and down. Walking to one ring alone took forever, sand and dirt everywhere! I believe Joe Waterman had the foresight to get hold of a golf cart rental co. They delivered the carts, we all rented one and trust me, in those days we showed a lot of dogs. I don’t think we would have lasted two days without the carts!

JANE CHOPSON Any outdoor show with heavy rain and mud. Unfortunately there are too many to single any one out specifically.

NINA FETTER I think one of the most difficult shows to work is Skokie Valley Illinois KC in December. If you don’t unload your motor home, they have the motor home parking one and a half miles from the show: in a trucking yard. It is very far and they were supposed to have a shuttle for us and it did not start until 7:00 am and I was waiting at 6:00 am, and then it stopped at 5:00pm. Had to take a taxi to and from the show and was disappointed. This is a show for vans only. SUE VROOM Definitely, Del Valle Dog Club of Livermore in California. A beautiful show that is spread out over 2 square miles with rings over every square inch of it. Even with increased staff, bikes, walkie talkies and golf carts, we couldn’t remotely make them all. The only sure bet of the weekend was that some hysterical missed dog owner was going to fire us. We finally took the path of least resistance and did Arizona instead! GRETCHEN SCHULTZ As a pro handler, the hardest show to work was Del Valle, due to the size and huge venue showing dogs from multiple breeds and groups. Thankfully, (retired from handling), as a board member of Del Valle I just get to focus on assisting with the production of this huge show!

Peter Kubacz Several shows come to mind. Certainly Westminster is hard since it’s in the city, and the combination of the grooming layout and the overwhelming spectators can make it difficult. The Rockland County site in February is certainly one of the hardest shows to work. The site offers no electric, so we have to have generators outside the building and if it’s anything but sunny outside the loading/ unloading area can be a mess with the rain, mud, snow, or ice. Plus just about everyone’s ex-pens seem blow away. I also don’t enjoy any show that is at the Howard County Fairgrounds. It always seems to rain or be extremely hot and whatever the condi22 Dog News

tions are outside it’s always 10 times worse inside. However, with that all said I’m sure I’ll be visiting all of these shows this year! Clay Coady The old Golden Gate Winter Show at the Cow Palace. I’m sure conditions are much better now, but back then grooming was downstairs, in the barns, and benching was up the ramp in the building. The rings were in yet another part of the building. We had to bring an extra set of wire crates for the benching in addition to the solid crates we used for traveling. We also took extra help to look after the dogs while they were in the wire crates so they stayed safe. The routine was walk up the ramp to get the dog, carry him or her back down and groom, then back up the ramp and to the rings to show, then back down to be washed and exercised, then up the ramp to the wire crates. Repeat for each dog in the string. And then do it all over again for the groups. At the end of the day we knew we had been working.

Brace Yourself

Will FCI Pull Up the Drawbridge?

ver since the Federation Cynologique Internationale agreed to a special concession for the sixteen UK judges who award Challenge Certificates to the most breeds to judge any breed that was recognised by the British Kennel Club at FCI International shows, regardless of whether or not they are approved for them in their own country, the decision has not been popular with many within FCI. There has been widespread unrest at the fact that the British Kennel Club still insists that all overseas judges complete a questionnaire which details their judging experience of the breed for which they have been invited to award CCs, even though they may have been judging that breed internationally for many years. I have always been able to see both sides of this

thorny issue. On the one hand I can understand a vastly experienced all rounder from another country resenting having to detail all their judging assignments in a breed when they receive an invitation from a show in the UK. On the other, I can quite understand the Kennel Club’s reluctance to approve a foreign judge on qualifications that would never be sufficient for a British judge to be approved in a particular breed. The fundamental problem is of course that there is great disparity between the various “all breeds” judges that are to be found in countries that fall under the FCI umbrella. The Scandinavians, for example, produce all rounders that are generally vastly experienced and who have gone through a complex scheme of education and approval. Some of the “newer” countries to the dog sport on the other hand appear to award entire groups to enthusiastic young judges whose experience and training may be rather questionable. Last year the FCI announced that it was to terminate this “special arrangement” for the sixteen UK judges, of which I am one. It came as no surprise to those of us who are very much in touch with our colleagues overseas and who regularly officiate in FCI countries. In January of this year representatives from FCI met at the Kennel Club in London with club officials to discuss the ongoing problem and, whilst no decision or 26 Dog News

statement was made, it was announced that discussions on the subject of reciprocity were to continue. What is of great concern, however, is something that has not actually been brought out into the open as yet, and that is the fact that it is heavily rumoured that many within FCI are of the opinion that FCI International shows should be judged only by those from countries that are themselves full members of FCI. The thinking behind this is puzzling. Surely those who organise dog shows, wherever they may be based, wish to engage a panel of experts who will hopefully do a proficient and knowledgeable job and pull a large entry - and if they happen to come from another country, so what? In many breeds there is great kudos in inviting a judge from the breed’s homeland as their opinion could be considered to be more valid than that of someone who comes from a country where the breed is not particularly strong. It is very likely that if this feeling is as widespread as is alleged, it will have been sparked off by Britain’s hard line as regards foreign judges; but remember that they apply the same rules to any overseas invitees, it is not just restricted to those who come from the FCI countries. It has always struck me as being strangely ironic that, whilst many people around the world are obviously desperately keen to judge in the UK, presumably because this still carries some kind of cachet, and Kennel Club membership is still something that is clearly revered ... just see how some overseas members are never seen without their little green KC badge ... they seem to have little regard for judges who come from the mother country. Some of my overseas friends on the judging circuit have suggested that with the emergence of so many “new” countries who have become active in the sport, they feel that if the judges from non-FCI countries were taken out of the equation, then there would be more assignments at the major shows for the less experienced. It is always interesting to talk to judges who come from places where dog showing is relatively new and you get an interesting cross section of personalities and viewpoints. Some talk with an alarming degree of authority and clearly feel that they know all they need to know about judging dogs. Others however freely admit that they have scant experience in their own countries, and it is only following their approval to judge a breed and getting overseas that they begin to really learn. Their honesty and willingness to study is admirable. Should the move to restrict FCI International shows to judges from FCI countries eventually come to pass it would certainly rob many countries of a wealth of experience and knowledge that they could ill afford to lose. It would also create wider gaps between countries than already exist. Some people say that this would never happen, but those same people probably ridiculed the suggestion that the British Kennel Club would ever offer its prized Challenge Certificates at a show in Germany in 2012! In this day and age, anything is possible.

VETERINARY TOPICS Changes in Veterinary Medicine There was an interesting commentary in the January, 2012 issue of DVM Newsmagazine. It so closely mirrors the condition that the AKC finds itself that it is worthwhile to report on some of what was said. The writer is a veterinarian practicing in Tennessee and his thesis is that the business of veterinary medicine is in a precarious position. For a long time veterinarians charged very little for their services, so that clients came to see that veterinary medicine was the best bargain they could pay for. Once veterinarians came to realize that they were charging bargain basement prices for their services, they began to raise their prices to compensate. After several years of continual price increases, an economic study of the profession found that “there is a limit to what the clientele of any practice is willing to pay, no matter if it has the highest fees or the lowest.” What the public does not realize, according to this article, is that the money generated from services and products sold, allows veterinarians to provide services to the public which they expect. Substitute AKC for the veterinary profession and we have a pretty good analogy to what has happened to the purebred dog market. The article goes on to say that when the major retail outlets started to sell products originally only available through the veterinarian, the whole emphasis shifted from the service to price. When the public realized they could buy stuff like flea and tick preventatives and medications cheaper on the market than from the veterinarian, profit margins began to slip and the relationship of the client/doctor changed. The article went on to say that the profession has lost the public perception of being the best and the fairest. In AKC’s situation the public must be constantly reminded of the services and benefits that owning a purebred, AKC registered dog provides. The article ends with the statement that “the biggest problem in this profession (substitute AKC breeders) is complacency from past success and thinking that our clients will pay us more than they think we are worth.”

Dog Law Enters the Classroom The introduction of college courses on the role of animals in society is not new, but the proliferation of animal studies in animal law over the past few years is flourishing. Courses are available in such prestigious universities as Harvard, Dartmouth, Tufts, Colorado and Wesleyan. Not all the courses lead to law degrees, but the tendency to major in this field is growing. In Texas, a case is wending its way through the courts concerning the case of the owners of a dog euthanized in error at a local shelter, to recover “sentimental” or “intrinsic” damages from a defendant for the loss of a pet. This case is precedent-setting, because in Texas the law as it stands allows only for recovery of the animal’s market value. This law dates back 120 years and proponents advocating for the owners argue that damages for pet loss reconsider the Texas Appellate Court’s decision to overturn the lower court’s ruling. The argument for sentimental damages for pet loss states that the lower court’s decision is recognition of the importance of animals in modern society. Critics of the original decision argue that the liability associated with emotional pain and suffering claims would send costs of pet services skyrocketing and ultimately harm animals by making veterinary care unaffordable for many pet owners. A petition filed by several groups, including AKC, asks the court to reverse its decision and allow the original decision by the lower court to stand. The case will most likely go to the Texas Supreme Court, which will make it a precedentsetting decision. Veterinary Issues For The New Year Economic issues on the veterinary front have been impacted as much as the economy as a whole over the last year. But soe indicators are contrary to that gloomy picture. Pet ownership is believed to be at its highest peak in nearly two decades, according to the American Pet Products Association. Pet ownership has reached 72.9 million households. This includes dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, birds and horses. Dogs number 78 million, up from 77.5 million in 2009-2010. Nearly 75% of all pet owners log on to search for animal health information, instead of making the first call to their veterinarians. Dr. Marty Becker, a radio and TV personality, who also is a veterinarian, urged attendees at one of the continuing education for veterinarians meetings to get online and use that medium to reach present or future clients. By providing clients with useful information on the web, they will retain their current patients and acquire new ones, Dr. Becker said. Continued on page 82

Questions

What year did you start showing dogs and what breeds were they? Chet: 1980, Bearded Collies. Michele: 1976, Shetland Sheepdog (obedience), 1980, Bearded Collies (conformation +).

Which dog no longer being shown would you liked to have shown or owned? Chet: I have a “thing” for Wire Fox terriers, and so it would be Galsul Excellence.

Chet: To continue the natural progression of the sport and advance the experience to another generation. Michele: It’s an opportunity to apply and share the knowledge you’ve gained from being a successful breeder and exhibitor.

Who are your non-dog heroes or heroines exclusive of immediate relatives? Chet: Astronaut John Glenn, climbing into that tiny capsule in 1962 atop that finicky Atlas rocket was awesome. Michele: My mother, who taught me by example to think for myself and encouraged my creative side, while also showing me that a woman can be a mother and a businesswoman (she ran the family business after my father died) back when it was not the norm.

Born: CHET: Scranton, PA MICHELE: Scranton, PA Reside: Saylorsburg, PA Married: YES

How would you describe yourselves in personal ads? Chet: Nit picky, driven by my endeavors, and I love my life with Michele. Michele: Creative, sense of humor, detail oriented, like to learn new things and keep busy.

Which are your three favorite dog shows? Chet: The Bearded Collie Club of America National Specialty, Westminster KC and Montgomery County KC. Michele: The Bearded Collie Club of America National Specialty, Bucks County KC and Somerset Hills KC.

How do you react to people flying in and out of shows on the same weekend? Chet: There are too may excesses in our sport, this is one of them. Michele: I believe it is an unnecessary stress on the dogs (and owners or handlers).

Gonzalez-Anleo from Spain, though actually whelped in the UK as his dam Del Zarzoso Voce Abusou lived here with the Aikman family. Top hound and in 4th place overall, is the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen Ch Soletrader Peek A Boo, bred by Gavin and Sarah Robertson. She is by the Dutch import Ch/Dutch Ch Cappuccino van Yum-tums Vriendjes, who has two Soletrader parents, ex his aunt Ch Soletrader My Aphrodisiac, the breeds cc record holder. Although still relatively young many will remember her going reserve best in show at Crufts in 2011 and also she was BIS at the Amsterdam winners show, one of the largest shows on the continent. Topping the gundogs is the Irish Water spaniel Show Ch/ Am Ch Whistle Stop’s Elements of Magic, the first time the breed has achieved this status in the UK. He was bred in the US by Stacy Duncan and Colleen McDaniel and is jointly owned by Colleen and Judith Carruthers 42 Dog News

The

British Scene

ell it was no great surprise that the UK’s ‘Top Dog All Breeds’ for 2011 is Michael Coad’s Bichon Frise Eric, aka Ch Pamplona Bring Me Sunshine. Bred and owned by Michael and handled by him or myself. He had topped the leader board since the first shows of the year and held onto this amazing lead all the way. At the last show of the year he passed another landmark when he achieved the breed certificate record with 42. This is the fourth Bichon holder Michael has campaigned; Eric took the record from his imported grandsire Ch/Am Ch Parays I Told You So, who was top dog all breeds in 2004. Before that there was Ch Sibon Fatal Attraction at Pamplona and runner-up Top Dog Ch/Irish Ch Tiopepe Mad Louie at Pamplona, both of whom appear in Eric’s pedigree. This is the second breed in which Michael has won top dog with a homebred dog; the other was the Standard Poodle Ch Pamplona Something Special, the current breed record holder as well. The runner-up and heading the working group was the Doberman Ch/Lux Ch Supeta’s Ozzy Osbourne, like Eric the Bichon he also achieved the breed record during the year. He was born in 07, he was bred and usually handled by Sue Mycroft, and is by Russian import Ch Korifey iz Zoosfery ex Ch Supetas Enuf Alredi. He is coowned by Sarah Smith and Tracy Bennett. Third place and top non sporting is the Standard poodle Ch Del Zarzoso Salveme from Afterglow, owned by Jason Lyn and bred by Carlos Renau and Lazalo

who handled him here. He is by the big American winner Am Gr Ch Poole Ide’s Got Water, a son of Judith’s multi titled Sh Ch Fynder Freethinker, ex Am Ch whistle Stop’s The Wind Miriah. He arrived in March 2011 and took his best of breed and has never looked back, winning several groups and an all breed best in show. Another American dog is in 6th place and the top terrier, however this award went to the very last show when it was a fight between two top terriers. So the top terrier goes to the Irish terrier Ch/Am Ch Fleet St Fenway Fan. Bred by RC Carusi in the USA and his wife Sheri plus Stan Wojewodski and handled by RC to an amazing career there. In the UK he is co-owned by Tony Barker and Victor Malzoni and is sired by Am/Int/German Ch Kells Tulsa Twister, a German based dog who won best of breed at Crufts ex Fleet St Firebird. In 7th pace is the brindle Boxer bitch Ch Roamaro First Issue by Walkon, a 5th generation champion bitch by Ch Walkon Made’n Issue ex Roamaro Razzle Dazzle for Walkon, bred by Mandy Laidlaw and owned by Yvonne Miller who handled both parents to their titles. This kennel has produced really nice Boxers over many years but this is the first one that has won a general championship show best in show award. In 8th is the second of the terriers that was battling for top terrier. This was the young and very gassy Scottie bitch Ch Stuane Florette. Owned and bred by Stuart Plane, she is royally bred being sired by the Swedish bred Raglan Royal Connection with Brio ex Ch Stuane Loch Flora at Myrlea. Another fairly young bitch, she also came out with a bang and has won several groups plus two reserve best in show awards. In ninth is another non sporting breed and also another Poodle, this time a Toy, Ch Vanitonia You’ll See, owned by Lee Cox and Tom Isherwood, who you will remember as owning Nora the Crested with whom they won top dog all breeds in 2010. This dog is by the Japanese import Jap Ch Smash Best Beat at Vanitonia ex Ch Vanitonia Gloria May. He won three consecutive best in shows during the year, Belfast, Driffield and South Wales. And last but not least is the third top terrier and the highest ever placing in the top list for a Dandie Dinmont, Ch Cloverwood Lemon Drizzle. Owned and bred by Glen Tinsley but handled by myself during the year. She is sired by the Canadian import Ch/Can Ch Glahms Royal Canadian bred of course by Mike Macbeth ex Cloverwood Brief Encounter. She started the year with best in show at national terrier, the first time a Dandie has ever won this award and then during the year won several group firsts, again the highest placings ever for the breed.

BY MATTHEW H. STANDER

am not too sure that this column is as pertinent as say five or ten years ago for the visitor to “the City” since the social networks on the Internet regarding places to go and eat are so prevalent. Nonetheless Gene wants me to continue this tradition established continuously for over the past 25 years—28 to be exact— and so I will tell you of my personal preferences NEAR and FAR from The Garden as to where to shop and eat. For those of you who request an advanced notice of THE BITE I have asked Chris King, our computer guru, to put this article on our Web site prior to publication of the issue. Hope that helps somewhat. Translated that can mean it will be on our Web site as early February 1st and while I cannot guarantee this to happen I will certainly do my best to try to have it so occur. Just a little heads-up that in my opinion THE HOTTEST part of Manhattan--food ways if not merchandise ways as well is in the combined Flat-Iron and Chelsea neighborhoods of the City as well as the East and West Village. It is here I shall emphasize my suggestions since this is where I spent most of my time in 2011 and early 2012. Ironically this neighborhood is where the DOG NEWS offices are located—we in the heart of the Flat-Iron district which is well within walking distance of both the Garden and those immediate if not in many instances faddy but extremely popular and with-it establishments as well as our offices. Enough with the introducing--- here I go again!!!!!! CLOSEST TO OR WITHIN THE GARDEN (WITH ASIDES) There is of course NICK and STEF’S STEAKHOUSE within The Garden. A bit prosaic to be nice about it.

Then within The Garden and due to the renovations there are at least four new eating experiences which as far as I can tell are less than fancy but adequately serve the hungry both for lunch and between the afternoon and evening breaks-The four opened celebrity restaurateurs include the specialized Brats from Andrew Carmellini of THE DUTCH and LOCANDA VERDE fame. Both these places are downtown and at LV Ira Schulman can be found for sure.

HELP IS A FOUR-LEGGED WORD: Unleashing the Potential of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing BY SHARON PFLAUMER With a hearing dog at his side, a deaf or hard of hearing person is no longer limited by his disability and dependent upon others for assistance. He can go anywhere and do anything with only the aid of his hearing dog!

ost of us are lucky enough to be able to take our ability to hear for granted. If the fire alarm sounds at our workplace or the smoke detector goes off in our home, we hear the noise and take appropriate action. But imagine what it would be like if we couldn’t hear. Then, we would be unaware of the warning sounds that signal any dangerous conditions that may occur at home, at work or in public places. Our ability to live a normal life also would be limited. We would be dependent upon family and friends to help us do the simplest tasks. Even things like going grocery shopping alone would be problematic. That’s why assistance dogs, for those with a hearing disability, are such life-changers.

The deep bond between a Hearing Dog and its person is evident in this photo. Photo by Tom Chown Photography.

Hearing Dogs These specially trained canines, called Hearing Dogs, help ensure the safety of those with a hearing disability while also enabling their independence and thus increasing their

self-confidence. They also relieve the sense of isolation often felt by the deaf and hard of hearing by providing much needed companionship. Hearing Dogs are professionally trained assistance dogs, who alert their deaf or hard of hearing person to sounds in the environment they otherwise would miss. They alert their person to these sounds by making physical contact with them, i.e., the Hearing Dog nudges their person’s arm or leg with its muzzle. The sounds that Hearing Dogs are trained to recognize include doorbells; telephones and cell phones; alarm clocks; smoke detectors; and timers on microwaves, ovens, and washers and dryers. They also alert to the sound of someone calling their person’s name and the noise made by objects falling on the floor. “Canine Companions for Independence® began training Hearing Dogs in the 1980s,” says Jeanine Konopelski, the organization’s Director of Marketing. “Since then, we placed 294 of them with the deaf or hard of hearing.” Founded in 1975, the organization was the first to place assistance dogs with people having physical

The Canine “Snuffleupagus”

BY M.J. NELSON

hen the writers of Sesame Street introduced the “Snuffleupagus,” they probably did not have a Bloodhound in mind but many of “Snuffy’s” characteristics would definitely apply. He was always introduced in his early appearances by a low brass musical cue, in about the same range as a Bloodhound baying on a hot track. He spoke in a sad-sounding voice and you’d be hard pressed to find a more mournful vocal expression than a baying Bloodhound. He had light brown hair and a nose that was always along the ground, sort of like a trailing hound. “Snuffy” became a big, gentle friend loyal to his pal Big Bird, much as Bloodhounds become big gentle friends loyal to their owners. But, Bloodhounds probably can “sniff out” a whole lot more than “Snuffy,” despite the length of his “snuffle.” It is that ability to follow scent that has made the Bloodhound attractive for centuries to both hunters and law enforcement personnel and lately to search and rescue people. But the breed is also successful in a number of other dog sports that do not require the dog to bring its nose into play. “One of the greatest problems I’ve found with doing different things with a Bloodhound is thinking they can’t do it,” said Jan Rothwell, who owns Am/Can Ch Quiet Creek’s Tell Me No Secrets CDX TD MTX CCD (“Caleb.”) “This is

a working breed. They are independent but very intelligent. Bloodhounds are ‘thinkers.’ They may not always come to the same conclusions we might like but if you work with the dog’s strengths and help with the weaknesses they are capable of anything. You have to work with the individual and take the time to acknowledge who they are, how they learn and process and you’ll have a great partner. Structure is so important in a working bloodhound. Nowhere does ‘form follow function’ show itself more than in a working Bloodhound. Solid temperaments are essential. This is a large, powerful breed and they have to be stable.” “Like most dogs, they do want to please even if they want to please themselves just as much as they want to please you. They love spending time with people so the more you do with them, the happier they are. While they are very stubborn, they are also very determined and that is what makes them good tracking/trailing dogs. They don’t like to give up on anything. I agree, however, that the greatest obstacle to success in anything with a Bloodhound is when we start to believe that they can’t do something. You have to be as stubborn as the breed and when people tell you that you can’t do some activity with a Bloodhound you have to be determined to prove them wrong,” said Kim Bialkowski, whose current Bloodhound is two-year-old Ch Flessner’s I Believe At Gumshoe CTD M CGC CGN (“Au”) that is a service dog and has passed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s search and rescue test. She also assists Bialkowski’s husband, who is dealing with a head injury. “I work my dog in many different disciplines because of the 50 Dog News

Besides, I really like the fact that I can show my dog in the morning and in the afternoon be out in the field tracking or in the obedience ring with the same dog. People are often surprised to see me at a carting event or ringside at an obedience trial. In fact when I was first trying to sign up for obedience classes I had a hard time getting into a class as nobody wanted a Bloodhound in their class. So, I got a rulebook and a friend of mine and I started training on our own. When we entered a trial, people began to take us seriously and after that, in my own dog community, I no longer have that problem.” While Bloodhounds are justifiably renown for their trailing ability, the American Bloodhound Club’s mantrailing tests have not always proven to be the proverbial “slam-dunk” for some owners. “Believe it or not, the most difficult thing I have done with Maizey (WDHOF BBHOF Ch Jo-Li’s Amazing McClintock CD RN MT CGC) was mantrailing which comes most naturally to her.

he American Kennel Club, since its founding over 125 years ago, has had several leaders who possess those qualities. The present Chairman, Ron Menaker, stands out within this distinguished group. Ron Menaker has been a Delegate to AKC since 1988. He has represented three clubs during his tenure: The Bedlington Terrier Club of America, the Des Moines Obedience Training Club and currently the Rockford Freeport Illinois Kennel Club. He was appointed to the AKC Board in 1996 and served through 1998, returned in 2000 and was elected Vice Chairman in 2001 and Chairman in 2002. 2011 will be his last full year on the Board, due to the term limit rule passed by the Delegates.

Why The Real “National” Is A Success BY Desmond J. Murphy

here is a saying that you can get too much of a good thing. This certainly does not hold true for the AKC/ Eukanuba show. It is the combination of so many great events that makes this show the most unique in the world today. What other show features so many different events. The Best Bred By was an instant success when it was instituted in 2003. The World Challenge immediately became history for the first time in 2007. In 2002 everyone was so pleased to see breeders getting honored that have brought the sport to the forefront of purebred dogs worldwide. The AKC Humane Fund Awards for Canine Excellence is always a reminder of how dogs are such heroes to the world in general. Dogs play such an important role in improving the quality of life to so many. 159 Junior Showmanship finalists competed this year. To qualify not only have they had to compete very successfully, but have had to demonstrate academic achievement. Each year more innovative events are being added. This year this

included for the first time, an AKC Juniors Agility competition and an AKC National Obedience Juniors Competition. What better way to keep and reward the next generation. And finally added was the first all American dogs taking part in the AKC National Obedience and AKC Agility Invitational. All of this is offered to the sport in two wonderful days following three all breed shows filled with great dogs from around the world. It is because of all these special attractions that make this the most interesting show in the world today. This is why so many foreign visitors come to this show year after year, whether they are competing or not. Unlike so many foreign visitors, we as Americans can attend without extensive travel or great expense. Many Americans even win enough prize money to cover or practically cover their expenses. There are so many reasons why this two-day event enjoyed a total entry of around 5,000. With instant internet and media coverage the entire universe knows the winning results. For anyone not in attendance, please visit the AKC website at www.akc.org and view the winners of the AKC Humane Fund ACE winners. These heartwarming, but very emotional, stories give so much meaning to the old saying, “Dogs are man’s best friend”. If only 1% of all the money we spend on promoting our big winners was given to promote these life saving dogs, the American public would take a kinder view to why breeders breed dogs. Hopefully more inner city shows can feature these types of dogs. With Junior Showmanship getting spotlighted we become more aware of what a family sport we really are. Young Devon Kipp was in the finals this year and just three years ago her older sister, Dylan, was Best Junior Handler. Their mother, Susie Kipp, has won the Bred-by Terrier group on three different occasions. Their 54 Dog News

adopted grandmother, Barbara Miller, was Breeder of the Year in 2007 and the Terrier Breeder for 2002. Real grandmother, Mareth Kipp, must be so proud of the family and how fitting it is to see Mareth will be judging in 2012. It will make for three generations performing at the show in one capacity or another. To qualify for Juniors it takes five first place wins so we know these young handlers have to have great skills. Just to get into the finals is a great accomplishment. A young man who has shown dogs to me probably before he was old enough for Juniors has finally aged out. This young man, C. T. Giese, has had an uphill battle by showing a non glamour breed in Juniors – a Border Terrier. In 2007 he was Best Junior and the last two years has also been the second runner-up. He has also done so well at the Westminster show. C.T. has to be congratulated with sticking with his breed for Juniors when most kids use flashy breeds to show. The judges have also to be congratulated on fine judging of this very important event. Besides having to attain five wins to qualify for Juniors, they also have to maintain academically a grade point average of at least 3.0 or equivalent for the two semesters or grading periods completed immediately prior to the closing of entries. The grade point average must be verified by an official school transcript. This shows so many local schools that the sport of showing dogs is a very good influence on young students and local politicians might learn what a good influence our sport has on their local community. The academic qualifications will most likely benefit the sport much more than the win requirements. Great young talented dog jockeys will always be abundant. By getting some of the young fanciers to achieve in academics potentially could possibly do great things for the sport long after many of us are enjoying shows surrounded by angels. Think of just a few possibilities for example if one of these juniors goes on to become a great scientist and finds a cure for cancer in humans and animals. Another Junior becomes the next Bill Gates and pumps their resources into animal welfare. Another becomes President of our country and fights all anti-animal legislation or one might go onto amass a fortune that will set up an endowment fund to offer scholarships for many worthwhile juniors. This could be a snowballing effect. How great it would be if some of these juniors become delegates and have enough resources to attend Delegate Committee meetings without having to collect the $200 from AKC. In 2003 the Bred-by-Exhibitor event was introduced and was an immediate success. Now eight years later it is the goal of every breeder to do well at. Even at the breed level it is a cherished win.

his 39th Edition of the “Schaal der Kempen” was another success although it did not equal the record of last year and didn’t pass the 2000 dogs. On the contrary there was a 9% loss compared to last year. It is hard to say what the reason is that this year there were “only” 1764 entries (still a very good number). The show was very early this year, hardly more than a week after New Year. Maybe for some people it came too close after one of the most expensive periods of the year. Or maybe some people remembered the very harsh conditions of last show when driving was extremely difficult. Some said it had only to do with the crisis and of course it is also possible that last year’s show was just that little

more interesting. Who will tell. Anyway, many shows would be very glad to welcome 1764 dogs and I think the committee was more than happy. Situated very near to the Dutch border this show has always lots of exhibitors from there and it is almost an Interland –contest. Besides the 835 Belgian dogs and the 646 Dutch entries there were 147 dogs from Germany, 100 from France, 9 from Poland, 7 from the UK, 9 from Denmark and 4 from Norway and especially those from Norway will not easily forget about this show as they returned with several podium places including the BIS. Like last year One-StopDog-Shop, grooming and accessory shop, was the main sponsor of the event. It is rather unusual that a national company is found willing to become a sponsor.

About the Author: We got our first Eskie in1986. Silveroaks Eskies have produced many champions and three Best In Show dogs with a total 28 BIS. My dogs have been the No. 1 American Eskimo for the last nine years and were ranked in Top 20 of the NonSporting Group. Besides show dogs I’m proud of the service and therapy dogs as well as the family companions I’ve bred.

Breeding the Perfect Dog

ow that the headline has gotten your attention, let me say nothing in Dog News grabs my attention like an article about my breed. Most of us avidly read such an article looking for new information and confirmation of our high opinion of our breed. Hopefully we also get a balanced and informative discussion of the issues of the breed. I, like most breeders and exhibitors, get up in arms when we feel our breed is misrepresented. Especially when a very few peoples’ opinions are reported as though they are facts. Also when we feel an article misrepresents not only the breed but we the breeders who love our breed and try to be preserve and improve it.

I’m writing this not just to provide another view of my breed, the American Eskimo Dog, but to address some basic misunderstandings of how genetic testing should be used to improve the health of a breed. My contention is test results are only one more piece of information to be used in making breeding decisions. Breeding decisions made based solely on one or two genetic tests are likely faulty and will ultimately damage the breed. My starting point is an article about Eskies with multiple titles in our breed. The American Eskimo dog is characterized as a beautiful, smallish

white spitz type working dog (15 to 35 lb usually), shown in a natural state for confirmation. And very good at many performance events. The article is quite a good introduction to eskies until the last couple of paragraphs. That section is headed THE FACT and some of the statements contained are: •“...the breed is affected with seizures, PRA, hip dysplasia, Leggs Perthe disease and allergies. •“People are breeding fair hips to fair hips and PRA affected dogs to carriers because they are good show dogs or good performers.” •“Fighting disease is a big challenge. Hip displasia and late onset PRA are rampant. We have too many Eskie breeders who DO NOT TEST for these diseases.” In my opinion, if breeders would just make sure hips and eyes were good before they decided to breed a dog, we would have a much, much healthier breed. Reading these statements I personally would stay far, far away from this breed. But the fact is, as

Speaks

The Fancy

far as we can determine, Eskies are one of the healthier breeds in AKC. Lethal genetic diseases are very rare, I don’t know of a single instance. I personally am shocked at anyone saying diseases are “rampant” in the breed. I don’t know of any facts that support that assertion. Later I’ll come back to the specifics of the above statements. But to take the most general issue first – would the breed really be healthier if breeders made breeding decisions just based on tests for hips and eyes? I’m assuming they would eliminate any dog that “failed” these tests. My contention supported by genetic theory and real examples is that the breed would ultimately be less healthy. The story that best illustrates for me the approach to breeding of the “test hips and eyes and everything will be fine” theory is the one about the man having lost some object and looking for it near the door under the lights.

The unregulated trafficking and transporting businesses are hurting shelter dogs’ chances, not reputable breeders in good standing with the American Kennel Club, the only registry that inspects its breeders’ facilities. These AR groups are skilled at spin, recruitment and fund-raising and present a formidable opponent for breeders and owners of purebred dogs and pose a serious threat to the ability to breed and own dogs (and all animals) responsibly. They must be dealt with, not with the in your face, misinformed tactics that they employ, but with intelligent, factbased arguments and publicity campaigns and by enlightening legislators on the real issues at hand and operations employed. There’s no better stage for the American Kennel Club and all of its constituents to extol the virtues of its registry than the Westminster Kennel Club at Madison Square Garden, The World’s Most Famous Arena, in New York City, The World’s Greatest City, and home to the AKC. As the media frenzy descends upon The Garden, all fanciers should be equipped with a “hot-sheet” of information containing talking points about the realities of hobby breeders and the AKC, or direct them to a club spokesman who can. They should be able to verbalize the benefits of buying a puppy from a reputable breeder, how to find a reputable breeder, and how the AKC inspects its registered breeders. They should also be able to point out that the AR extremists are shilling for organizations with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets that do little or nothing to promote the well-being of animals, as is the case with Humane Society of the United States, which gives less than one per cent of its $100+ million operating expenses to hands-on shelter work, and peta, which associates with known domestic terrorist groups such as the Animal Liberation Front and the Earth Liberation Front. The AKC, on the other hand, launched the Canine Health Foundation in 1995, which is the largest funder of exclusively canine health research in the world. Its mission is to advance the health of all dogs and their owners by funding sound scientific research and supporting the dissemination of health information to prevent, treat, and cure canine

disease. In its first fifteen years, the CHF has funded over 550 grants totaling $25 million. It’s time for the AKC and its constituents to toot their own horn and make sure it’s heard over the din of protestors and extremists who aren’t really interested in anything other than making a name for themselves and soliciting funds through outlandish stunts and spectacles. If the Westminster Kennel Club is to build upon its long running legacy, and the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship hopes to follow such a tradition, it’s imperative that effective PR campaigns be launched and continued outreach be made to elected officials to educate them on who are the real champions of the dog.

Offthe

Hollywood’s Dog Discrimination What’s an award season without controversy? Whether it’s a race for Top Dog or a Tony award, someone always feels slighted or shafted. This year’s Golden Globe winner and perennial Oscar contender for best director, Martin Scorsese, has a bone to pick. Not with the Academy or the Hollywood Foreign Press, but with the Golden Collar Awards, which recently announced the nominations for Best Dog in a Theatrical Film. Scorsese, of Mean Streets, Raging Bull and Goodfellas fame, took it personally that Blackie, the Doberman Pinscher featured in his film Hugo, was overlooked. So much so that he wrote an Op-Ed piece for the Los Angeles Times, crying “breedism”. He writes: “While I have been extremely heartened by the reception of my movie “Hugo,” I feel that there is one area where we’ve been severely slighted. I have been cautioned against speaking out on this issue lest I create the appearance of churlishness. Well, I’m going to have to risk it…imagine my surprise when I heard the nominations for the first Golden Collar Awards for Best Dog in a Theatrical Film. After all, we had Blackie the Doberman in our movie. How could she not be nominated? I listened in vain for Blackie’s name to be called, and then to all the hullabaloo over a certain Jack Russell terrier named Uggie. Actually, Uggie is so adorable that he received two nominations for two separate pictures. Well done. OK, let’s lay all our cards on the table. Jack Russell terriers are small and cute. Dobermans are enormous and — handsome. More tellingly, Uggie plays a nice little mascot who does tricks and saves his master’s life in one of the films, while Blackie gives an uncompromising performance as a ferocious guard dog who terrorizes children. I’m sure you can see what I’m driving at. We all have fond memories of Rin Tin Tin and Lassie, the big stars, the heroes, but what about the antiheroes? We have learned to accept the human antihero, but when it comes to dogs, I guess we still have a long way to go. I’m proud of Blackie, who laid it on the line and dared to risk the sympathy of her audience. Let’s just say that on the set, she had a fitting nickname: Citizen Canine…I detect another, more deep-seated prejudice at work. Jack Russell terriers were bred in the 19th century for the purposes of fox hunting by an Englishman, the Rev. John Russell. Dobermans were bred by a German tax collector who was afraid of being bludgeoned to death by the citizenry. But does that mean we must condemn the entire breed? Must we forget the magnificent physical achievements of such legendary Dobermans as Bingo von Ellendonk (who achieved a perfect score in the storied Schutzhund competition), Borong the Warlock, Baracuda Liborium or Caravelle Drillbit?” Who knew that the esteemed director and film historian had such an affinity for the Doberman, a breed that is often the subject of breedspecific legislation? Perhaps Scorsese is just the spokesperson needed to combat not only ‘breedism’ in Hollywood but breed specific legislation in America. If peta and the HSUS can trot out actors and models to be their mouthpieces, what better retribution would dog owners have than to confront them with the award-winning director that hires them? To paraphrase Travis Bickle, from Scorsese’s iconic Taxi Driver, “Yes, Marty, we’re talking to you!”

A FIRST IN DELEGATE COMMITTEE HISTORY-THE PROFESSIONAL HANDLER AS A JUDGE...

o you remember when Carl Ashby ran for the Board for the first time and handed out pens with his name on them as though it was a high school election? Or sometime later when he would just send out his photo for recognition? Well two things are going on now which deserve to be discussed about him. One is that he has proven so disagreeable as one of the Board Representatives to the Delegate’s Rules Committee that the Committee has asked for him to be replaced!! That’s a first for sure. Secondly I have received two phone calls from Delegates in power situations who claim to have been called by him to support his running for the Chairman of the Board after Menaker leaves. He claims the Board has done nothing I am told for the past ten years and that he and his cohorts will change that. Well he has been on the Board now for three years and other than to attempt to interfere with Staff in

North Carolina I can see nothing which indicates he has new and different ideas insofar as AKC is concerned. If he has wouldn’t it have been nice for him to share these ideas with the Fancy? Other than it being rumored he is looking for an actual job working for AKC what does he have in mind one is forced to ask. At least two different aspects concerning the role of the professional handler recently crossed my desk and I thought it appropriate to share these thoughts with you. First I was doing some research about writing up the 100 CLUB for D MAGAZINE wherein it will be announced that the only exhibit to achieve that milestone in 2011 was the Pekingese GCh. PalaceGarden Malachy exhibited by David Fitzpatrick and coowned by him. David is of course a professional handler as well as a very successful breeder and presenter of at least the Pekingese breed. He is officially ineligible to adjudicate at AKC point shows and remains so even under the more liberal interpretation submitted and approved by the Smith Committee as to who may apply to judge. However in the UK there is no such restriction! Indeed professionals it would appear are encouraged to judge. Indeed Geoff Corish, one of the most successful professional handlers in that country, will be the Best in Show Judge at Crufts next year I believe it is. Furthermore, David Fitzpatrick among other American

70 Dog News

professional handlers who have been successful in breeding dogs here have been invited to judge not only Specialty Shows in the UK but I believe all-breed shows as well. Providing of course they meet the vetting of both the Breed Club and probably the GC of the Kennel Club as well. And that’s how David sort of found Malachy!! The reason I say sort of got Malachy is that David never actually adjudicated upon that particularly bred PalaceGarden exhibit but was so impressed with the quality of the PalaceGarden exhibits he did judge he wrote them when he came back to America asking them after studying the Pedigrees to pick out a dog and send it to him!! Now you tell me which would you prefer, the opinion of a person like David Fitzpatrick or an individual who has attended a seminar about Pekes or even an all-breed judge who has been so named due to the time he or she has put into the sport? Why should AKC not go back to the old days when selected professional handlers were permitted to judge at Specialties!! This occupational eligibility rule is ridiculous on virtually any and all levels and should be reconstructed immediately. And then there are the writings of my good friend Ronnie Irving in the British press (thank heavens he did not write it for us) and I quote Ronnie, “I always thought that one of the reasons for the dramatic decline in the size of the American dog show scene is the dominance of the handler in the US.” And uses as his basis for concluding that AKC believes the same, the creation of the “owner-handler” class. I must say I believe Ronnie to be totally off base in that kind of thinking. First of all our shows have grown in number—while the number of exhibits may have decreased this is primarily due to the large number of all-breed shows we hold-the professional handler hardly plays a role in that at all. Personally I believe the formation of the owner-handler class to have been a major mistake, which was fomented strictly as a means to increase entries. Sort of like the Grand Champion title, which served its initial purpose of increasing entries, by having titled dogs remain in competition. However the addition of the various rungs of metallic designations also meant to keep dogs in the ring is a bad attempt of exploiting exhibits, which would be better off on the couch than in the show ring.

The 2012 Barkfest at Bonhams

Feast Yo 72 Dog News

By Daphna Strauss

ne of the most delightful events on the dog lover’s February social calendar is the annual Barkfest at Bonhams. This elegant yet casual affair at the New York location of the famed British auctioneer takes place Sunday, February 12 from 10 a.m. to noon, at 580 Madison Avenue. There’s no better way to take in the beauty of the dog in art while enjoying light brunch fare with friends – both human and canine.

The Barkfest on Sunday serves as a private preview of the year’s curated finds before they are auctioned at Bonhams’ Dogs in Show and Field: The Fine Art Sale. This year, the auction takes place on Wednesday, February 15 at 10 a.m. Barkfest attendees who spot something special on the wall on Sunday can either relish the opportunity to bid in person at the exciting auction on Wednesday, or simply fill out a form on Sunday at the Barkfest. Celebrating its thirtieth year, the Bonhams dog art auction comprises an incredible array of paintings, drawings, prints, sculpture and canine collectibles assembled by the experts Alan Fausel and Charles O’Brien. This year Barkfest attendees will see an emphasis on the representation of dogs in the field, with spectacular examples of works by American and British artists. Fans of Rosseau, Osthaus, Emms, Earl and Binks are sure to enjoy this year’s collection. Bonhams love of dogs is evident not only in the superior quality of this special event for the fancy, but also in its longtime support for the AKC Humane Fund, Inc. All proceeds of the Barkfest benefit the AKC Humane Fund, which provides grants to parent clubs for their rescue efforts, and to women’s shelters that accept victims of domestic abuse and their pets. Bringing one’s dog to the Barkfest is an extra special way to enjoy the morning. Dogs are not only welcome, they are encouraged to join the festivities. Admission to the Barkfest is a $50 donation to the AKC Humane Fund, Inc. in advance by RSVP to 212-696-8306 or a $60 donation at the door.

last year. What a disappointing way to start the year- yet this may have been avoided. With the current state of mind being that there are too many shows and too many shows in any given area at a time, diluting the entries amongst them, the CKC approved new show dates for the fourth week of January. A well established show giving club who had weekend summer dates was given permission to change its dates to January between two other shows that were holding their own entry wise-and the venue is the exact same one as the third show! How anyone could think that this would not affect the clubs that already had shows in January and February is beyond comprehension. How disappointing for the clubs that have been working hard to promote their shows to have this happen to them. Apparently we will have to wait to see what 2012 and the new board at the CKC will bring to us. We wish the new board of the CKC all the best, here is their opening communication: Message from the Chair of the 2012-2014 Board of Directors Ladies and Gentlemen: I would like to sincerely thank the 2009-2011 Board for a job that was very well done during a challenging and difficult time. A special thanks to the Chair, Mrs. Lee Steeves, for her dedication, leadership and extreme hard work through that period.

he orange and white Basset Hound swung through the glass doors on the heels of his owner and ambled nimbly toward the ring. The young exhibitor grasped the lead tightly as she leaned over the judges’ table and asked for armband #9. Around the ring, there was a bit of a stir as the owners of the other 17 Basset Hounds competing quietly took note of the newcomer. The owner of an Open Bitch stepped up smiling and asked, “Who is he?” The wide, open air Expo Hall of the Puyallup Fair was home to lots of friendly conversations like that. It’s a big place, 20,000 square feet, with windows and glass doors on every side that let in natural light. This being the Pacific Northwest, sunshine is not abundant. Residents cheerfully admit they endure as much as 160 inches of rain annually, making it the wettest area of the 48 conterminous states and geologically, a temperate rainforest. It is not unusual to go weeks or even months without a clear day. The Expo Hall makes up for that with terrific light-

The site is large, but when a spectator seeking Cavalier King Charles Spaniels stopped to ask, “Where is ring 16?” the exhibitor who answered was being unnecessarily sarcastic when he replied, “In the next county.” In days of declining entries, the Western Washington Cluster held onto their 2,000, and even gained 100 dogs over last year! Puyallup Valley Dog Fanciers show chair Fran Stephens said, “We were really pleased with the entry. So many clubs have seen their entries go down, so we didn’t know what to expect. This is an expensive show to put on, but with a big entry, we can pay the bills.” As I left my cousin’s home in Lakewood that morning, he asked, “Do you know how to find the show?” That seemed a strange question, since the fairgrounds take up a large part of the Puyallup city center. Hard to miss. What I didn’t know is that the fairgrounds comprise over 170 acres! Just because you know how to find the grounds

doesn’t mean you know how to find the building. But the show committee had wisely stationed members in orange vests at every possible place you could make a wrong turn. To get lost, you would have had to run over them. Even with such a large building, there wasn’t room for grooming tables and handler set-ups, so these were moved to a tent. Not an ordinary outdoor grooming tent, but a very sturdy, permanent tent into which the show officials had moved heaters to keep the dogs warm. According to one handler, the heaters went off sometime Friday night, which resulted in a lot of angry words with show and site workers until the problem was fixed. The area was experiencing unusually chilly temperatures, dipping as low as 28 degrees instead of their usual 44.

VETERINARY TOPICS Continued FROM page 30

The concept of the annual medical checkup for dogs was a mainstay of the medical profession. That is up until the time that vaccine protocols changed. Now the routine has been upended and people are a lot more casual about bringing their pets in for wellness checks. Preventive medicine has not been given the publicity needed to keep clients coming in and pets healthier. The profession must have a better campaign to get pet owners in the door, especially in difficult economic times. Student debt hit an all time high in 2011, averaging $142,613. This, coupled with lower salaries for new veterinarians, has already impacted the profession. This situation will impact veterinarians who want to start or buy their own practices. It already affects established practices which are forced to hire fewer employees, including vet techs and specialists. Some economic forecasters see consolidation of small independent practices, not necessarily joining a huge conglomerate such as Banfield, but utilizing the skills of one or two local practices to provide better care at reasonable prices. One Health Initiative Takes Hold The concept of One Health, an initiative taken by former AVMA President, Dr. Roger Mahr, in July 2007, has taken hold in academic institutions, government and health professionals, especially in fields related to public health. The one-health concept has been a key component in fields such as comparative medical research, disease surveillance, food safety, and the human-animal bond. In 2011 Iowa State University’s One Health Consortium attracted the One Health Commission to establish permanent headquarters at ISU in 2011. The One Health Commission aims to inform all audiences about the one-health approach by establishing a center for communications and resources. As an example, the Iowa State University Center for Food Security and Public Health is producing a new reference book on zoonoses of companion animals. The book will contain resources for both veterinarians and physicians. Grove City College, in Grove City, Pennsylvania has developed a special topics course within the biology department, called “Zoonosis and public health.” The course is given through the biology department’s prehealth program, which prepares students for a career in the health field or in related graduate programs. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is among the governmental agencies that have been implementing the one-health approach. It has established a One Health Office, within the National

82 Dog News

Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases. The CDC One Health Office has placed veterinary medical officers around the world at international agencies and in countries that are potential sites for emergence of diseases. The Infectious Diseases Society of America, representing nearly 10,000 physicians, scientists and other professionals in that field, has become a member of the One Health Commission. The realization that human medicine and veterinary medicine have much in common and much to teach one another. One of the best examples of cooperation between the two disciplines is the resolution, passed in November 2011 by the National League of Cities, to support the one-health concept, especially in the areas of emphasizing that ecosystem health affects human and animal health. The One Health program is particularly effective in the area of medical research. Scientists are working on specific treatments or cures for diseases such as cancer, diabetes or eye diseases. There has been cooperation for many years among these groups, sharing information and treatment options. The One Health initiative has encouraged increased cooperation between human and veterinary researchers. Studies in genetics have found important correlations between the two disciplines, making discoveries of possible causes and cures easier to achieve. First Aid for Pets Winter, snow, ice, and cold make conditions ripe for accidents to happen. Not only do people slip and fall, but pets also suffer injuries in extreme weather. Here are common sense suggestions that owners should take to heart when dealing with an injured pet. Try to determine how severe the injury is. Remain calm, as an injured animal may panic, bite or try to flee. If you can examine the animal, try to determine what the injuries are, such as those affecting the eyes, the head, a bleeding wound, difficulty breathing, pain or obvious trauma. Even if your pet has no outward signs of trauma, it is best to take it immediately to a veterinarian, as internal injuries do not always manifest themselves. If the dog obviously is in pain or has obvious wounds and must be seen by a veterinarian, transportation is essential. If the dog cannot walk, get a large blanket, or a board on which to lay the dog, keeping it as immobile as possible. If the dog is panicky and tries to bite or snap, make a loose muzzle to tie around the mouth. Do not shut off the airway. If the dog is panting heavily or having trouble breathing, do not try to muzzle it. If the dog is bleeding heavily, apply pressure to the wound with sterile gauze. If the wound is on a leg, apply a tourniquet that wraps around the leg, enough to slow down the blood flow but not so tight that it is painful or can damage the tissues. Burns come with all sorts of causes.

Chemical burns must be flushed with water immediately. Burns from a fire should be flushed with cool water or milk (I learned this from my pediatrician eons ago) and loosely wrapped. Injuries may cause your dog to go into shock. Symptoms of shock may be either a weak or overly strong pulse, shallow or deep breathing, anxiety, and disorientation. Keep the dog as quiet and warm as possible and get to the veterinarian as soon as possible. Be prepared. Keep a well stocked first aid kit in your house and in your car. Essentials in the kit should be large gauze pads for bandages, some type of adhesive, such as Vetrap or plain adhesive tape, forceps for pulling porcupine quills, cactus spines or any other type of foreign body that gets under the skin, antibiotic salve or cream, disinfectant. Learn how to help a dog that is choking. If he has an object stuck in his mouth or throat try to reach (without being bitten) and dislodge the object. If it appears to be further down the intestinal tract, do the Heimlich maneuver (you can look it up in a first aid manual or on the internet) just as you would a human choking victim. Prepare yourself in advance, just as you should for a human victim. Gene Therapy Cures Retinitis Pigmentosa in Dogs Members of a University of Pennsylvania research team have shown that they can prevent, or even reverse, a blinding retinal disease, X-linked Retinitis Pigmentosa, or XLRP in dogs. The disease affects both man and dogs and this breakthrough is a perfect example of the One Health program, described above. The gene therapy approach used takes advantage of a viral vector, a genetically modified virus that does not cause disease and is unable to divide, to deliver the therapeutic RPGR gene specifically to diseased rods and cones. The ability to repair both rods and cones was a first in ophthalmology research, but the research also showed that its treatment also repaired the photoreceptor connections to other retinal neurons that eventually send visual signals to the brain.

prise me if you found Sean McCarthy and his lovely wife Tammy tucked away in one of these rooms too-it’s just that kind of a place. Then continuing at MSG there are the Drew Nieporent great burgers, the Jean-Georges Chicken and the Lobster and shrimp rolls too. Finding these nooks will be your project within the Garden and if reservations will be had I do not know but doubt it-sounds like a first come, first serve situation presuming they will all be opened for the Dog Show. Three other places near The Garden include my old favorite KEENS STEAKHOUSE at 72 West 36th-this remains one of the oldest steak houses in New York and while the mutton chops and prime rib hash are outstanding too I must say the place needs a good bit of modernizing. Nonetheless it is a good experience with top-notch heavy food. 212-947-3636. And as before I urge you to go to THE ACE HOTEL a short stroll at 16 West 29th Street to one of two really

top restaurants in the City. THE BRESLIN BAR AND DINING ROOM basically takes no reservations and I often go there for lunch--ask David Frei-we both love the place but if you gather 10 friends who are surely sturdy carnivores you can have one of the high spots WITH reservations of a fabled Chef’s Table feasts! You’ll have a perfectly roasted suckling pig with all the trimmings and English desserts like trifle (as good if not better than Beth Sweigart’s—sorry, Bethie) or Eton mess served in giant white tubs!!! Call 212-679-1939 for this treat for sure! And if you are looking for some of he most exciting seafood in the city you will find it at the same hotel off the west side of the lobby this time in the same hotel again with NO reservations. It is THE JOHN DORY OYSTER BAR-loud and noisy again for sure but well worth the wait for this food to say nothing of the sublime city views. I told you about both last year and believe you me they have only become better and more secure as the year has passed. The bars at both places close at 4am and the Breslin breakfast is not bad either! Speaking of breakfasts and not in this category of course is the Irish breakfast served at the BLARNEY ROCK PUB-you know that dive bar voted one of the top dive bars in 86 Dog News

The John Dorry Oyster Bar

the City where many go after Best. Well surprise, surprise, try breakfast there no reservations for any number of reasons as you may have guessed. Also Irish at 55 Penn Plaza at 8th and 33rd is TIR NA NIG where the food is most adequate-the shepherd pie as good as you’ll find anywhere and the atmosphere authentic Celt--Fun place for sure. Then for a 24-hour eatery at more than affordable prices and within total walking distance no matter the weather there is the old standby on Broadway and 32nd Street THE NEW WONJO RESTAURANT. Korean food, which can be barbecued at the table with over 100 choices at a pittance but delicious too. Well worth a trip if you’ve been out partying I would think. Certainly two other places well worth considering in the immediate area even if technically not totally within the MSG radius is the very superior food at AI FIORI RESTAURANT located within the SETAI BUILDING/HOTEL RESIDENCE at 400 5th Avenue at 35th and 5th 212-613-8660. Some find the decor bland-I do not and if you are looking for an OBE (excuse me Michael Faulkner) the chef Michael White prepares a rack of lamb foie-gras coated which is as grand as any hotel food in the Michelin hotel restaurants that I have been to in either Rome or Paris. And why not this is the same guy who has brought us the acclaimed seafood at MAREA at 240 CPS-recheck your reservations there which are a must as if they do not know you they tend to get lost on occasion or at his downtown pasta house of specialties an intimate OSTERIA MORINI where some of the 12 pastas served cannot be beat!!! That one is at 218 Lafayette Street so give yourself plenty of time coming and going from MSG. Just remembered FOLEY’S NY PUB at 18 W.33rd-easy inexpensive sandwiches totally devoted to the NY Giants and its crowd. There is an Eli Manning Melt of roast beef, turkey and Muenster cheese which cannot be beat. For sure you’ll never find Peggy Biesel there! GO GIANTS. THE GREAT DIVIDE 23RD STREET I never really thought that the Flat-Iron/Chelsea area would become the prime restaurant area in the City that is has developed into. Much of this transformation revolves around building code zone changes in parts of the area while others have to do with the variations in Continued on page 90

space availability. For instance take 200 5th Avenue at 23rd Street, which housed the incredible Toy Building and the 200 Club--GONE—in its place major creative tenants, and the vibrating, popular, sprawling, not to be missed circus atmosphere of EATALY. Now in its second year this Mario Batali presentation has three or four different restaurants all under one roof none of which accept reservations except for the Beer Hall on the rooftop. This is an omnivore’s delight replete with a full butcher and fish store with homemade boutique pastas and a myriad of changing daily Italian specialties. It has deservedly earned the reputaABC Kitchen tion for being one of the most lively and energetic and confusing dining destinations in the City. It takes more than one visit to fully appreciate the magnitude of the enterprise as its popularity grows in leaps and bounds. Staying on 23rd Street and working West I would suggest a stop at MAISON DU MACARON a little hole in the wall at 132 W. 23rd Street for some of the great desserts of all time. No reservations, good for tea, too, this is but one of the large number of Macaroon based patisseries growing in the City and beginning to compete with NY Cheese Cakes and NY Pizzas. The amazing meringue cookies of daily varying flavors reminds you of L’Auduree in Paris while the ham and cheese croissants are delightful. If the service is a bit French cranky the food more than makes up for it. Then walk a few short steps to GARDEN OF EDEN gourmet food store where the most varied selection of fresh fruits you’ll find anywhere in the City can be found on a daily basis. If you are into grapes they have the best there are while the cherries are way above average. Hot bars galore with varied assortments of prepared foods far superior to WHOLE FOODS and if Mr. Menaker is still on your list even though he will no longer be Board Chair the red olives found there are

his favorite. Now then keep walking west towards 10th Avenue and for lunch or dinner try LA PROMENADE des ANGLAIS at 461 W.23rd St 212-255-7400. First of all the prices are very reasonable and the décor quite sensible. There is a more than decent burger with brandied onions and Gruyère cheese at lunchtime only. In the evening there is a Provencal fish stew or frogs legs unbeatable as well as other meals of equal diversity. Desserts the tops— prices most affordable. How can you miss! Also in the general area but much closer to home at 27 W. 24th St in an elaborately designed emporium is probably the top Indian restaurant in the city called JUNOON. The breads are classic and diverse Indian and there is a smorgasbord you only dream of. If you are into Indian food do not miss this place while directly across Madison Park is the restaurant many consider to be the best in the City. Years ago I thought this to be the case too when I first started writing about and going to ELEVEN MADISON PARK at 24th Street and Madison. It is still elegant and even more talked about than before as the new chef (or comparatively new chef) and co-owner Daniel Hamm is the darling of the foodies. For me it is too precious and served with a pomp I do not appreciate but I assure you I am in the great minority. Most adore, love and are totally devoted to going there. Amazingly in ABC Department store, which is well worth going to on its own, is Jean-Georges’ acclaimed and rightly so ABC KITCHEN at 35 East 18th Street-Lunch and dinner and while everything on the menu is great I would stick with the seafood dishes, but that’s me. Also I would be totally remiss not to tell you that the famous ALISON from Dominick fame has opened ALISON EIGHTEEN at 15 West 18th Street and this only last week. If you are looking for what will certainly be the trendy new place to eat and be seen at this is for you for sure. On the other hand there is the trusted VERITAS at 43 East 20th, which has been opened since 1999 and is a true destination restaurant, which is more than casual in nature. The long bar is crowded with wine connoisseurs and is worth returning to week after week. The service is excellent-not pretentious but well informed and but for the occasional noisy party, it’s not a big place, it’s sort of like going to a private club with truly great food. The sommelier would impress even David Vogels and the food a total come on to his wife Cindy who of course will be adjudicating Best at the Big W. Nearby too is MAILINO at 2 Lexington Avenue in the Gramercy Park Hotel. I like to go for breakfast or lunch at yet another Danny Meyer restaurant, as the evening crowd is a bit too noisy for me.

to a Roman trattoria you can’t go wrong here either. And that my friends is it for this area unless I remember some place I really wanted to mention. SOME LONG TIME FAVORITES Whenever we want to impress and know we have special people in for dinner we always go to GRAMERCY TAVERN. Totally reliable-neither trendy nor faddy the main dining room is one of the top places to go to. Seasonal cooking by a master, reservations a must and here we go again notice the address 42 East 20th 212-477-0777. For pure romance and perfectly cooked and presented old time French cuisine with the most magnificent flowers ever go to LA GRENOUILLE at 3 West 52nd Street 212-752-1495. This was my choice for a major birthday I had two years ago and it remains numero uno for that kind of celebration for me anyways. Then of course if you are looking to spend a total fortune there is PER SE, which is on the top of every bloggers list—too much for me in all too many respects but I can assure you so long as I am not paying I love to go there and watch those black cards flash all evening long. Located at 10 Columbus Circle. And then there is the legendary LA BERNARDIN, which has an interior redo I like but others do not—the food though is unbeatable and again time to watch the black cards roll! At 155 W.51st Street. Of course in the Village there is THE GOTHAM BAR and GRILL, which celebrates stability in New York restaurants since it has been opened since 1984 at 12 W.12 St.-classic dishes perfect service!!! SERVICES AND OTHER MISCELLANY CAR SERVICE-U.S. LIMO (800-962-2877)-Extremely reliable service with any kind of four wheels you may need. ICE SKATING-Try the pond at Bryant Park and nearby on West 43rd Street is probably the best sushi in town at 204 E. 43rd Street SUSHI YASUDA 212-972-1001-Reservations are a must and do not be put off by the dictatorial termsthe service in the restaurant is friendly as you are assigned your own chef who will work out your menu with you. This is the purest of sushi and shasmi you’ll find in the City. You may want to skate at CPW—then I would eat at THE LEPORARD DES ARTISTES which is the re-converted DES ARTISTES at 67th Street and CPW for Italian food superior-bit noisy and crowded but worth it for reminiscence sake. If you decide to go East try THE CROWN AT 24 East 81st Street in a converted elegant townhouse-the dining room is elegant, elegant while the prices match the elegance. A new experience well worth the expense if someone else is paying. 94 Dog News

Don’t let those pushy Russians insist you receive a spa treatment unless you really want one. One admission is $35. LOX SHOP-RUSS & DAUGHTERS since 1914 and now a gourmet experience- A short walk from KATZ’S DELI, which if you have never been to you are making a giant mistake. I don’t find the sandwiches consistently great but the atmosphere is turn of the Century for sure. You may want to try SARGE’S on 3rd and 35th or 36th for the best tongue omelets you have ever tasted. OLD-TIMEY APOTHECARY-PASTEUR PHARMACY 806 Lexington Avenue where you’ll find every remedy and snake oil dream merchandise for all ailments real and or imagined. MENS BESPOKE-More popular than ever-try KIRK MILLER IN SOHO, which merges Saville Row with American thinking and practicality. Also there is L&S TAILORS at 138 East 68th Street where repairs are made as well as suits designed.

Empowering Lives One Hearing Dog at a Time

rior to receiving her Hearing Dog, Maya, in 2007, Cara Miller’s life was limited by her disability. She has a severe to profound hearing loss that was identified when she was 18-months-old. That means she cannot hear sounds made more than six feet away from her even when wearing two hearing aids. She is completely deaf when she removes her hearing aids at night to sleep. She communicates by lip reading, speaking and using American Sign Language (ASL).

Dependent on family members Before Miller was matched with a Hearing Dog, her hearing family members assisted her in much the same way that Maya does now. “They tapped me to get my attention and, then, pointed to sounds in the environment,” she says. “That’s how they made me aware of visitors arriving, phones and doorbells ringing and others trying to get my attention.” When Miller was traveling alone to and from work or school and even when home alone, she often felt an underlying sense of anxiety. “I worried about missing important sounds like the bumps and scratches of an intruder breaking in,” she says. “But safety wasn’t my only concern. Before getting Maya, I had to maintain a high level of alertness and try to anticipate sounds before they occurred--which was exhausting. For example, I had to wait by the door for a UPS delivery so I wouldn’t miss the delivery person’s knocking or stand by the tea kettle to make sure it didn’t boil over.” A Hearing Dog also enriches the Maya now shares the responsibility for life of a deaf or hard of hearing person by providing much needed constant environmental vigilance.

As a result, Miller feels much safer and more secure now and is better able to go places and do things than she was before Maya came into her life.

A sense of empowerment Working with her Hearing Dog also has given Miller a sense of empowerment and control over her life. That’s something she didn’t have before she was partnered with Maya. “By assuming responsibility for Maya’s ongoing training--We practice sound work daily--I feel like I’m playing a greater role in improving and maintaining my safety, independence, security and autonomy,” Miller says. Through her involvement with Canine Companions, Miller found a new role as an educator and advocate for the cause of assistance dogs in general and Hearing Dogs in particular. As a result, she now travels nationally and internationally, often, staying in hotels at unfamiliar locations. She says Maya is not only a great traveling companion but also her “furry alarm clock with a tail.” Miller also completed her Ph.D. with Maya at her side. She intends to use that knowledge by helping others, who face challenges similar to those she experiences. “For my doctoral dissertation, I studied the relationship between an individual’s identity as a deaf or hard of hearing person and how it related to feelings or attitudes about Hearing Dog use,” Miller says. “I hope to continue my professional work as a clinical psychologist with an emphasis on Hearing and Assistance Dogs and the humananimal bond.”

training assistant or guardian; and Facility Dogs for professionals who use them to promote healing and facilitate therapy for patients, students or residents in their care.” All of the assistance dogs trained by Canine Companions, including Hearing Dogs, are taught basic skills in addition to skills and commands specific to the kind of assistance they provide. That means they all learn basic obedience, public access skills and appropriate public behavior. In addition, Hearing Dogs are taught to recognize specific sounds in the environment and then alert their person to them. Hearing Dogs in action Here’s how Hearing Dogs alert their deaf or hard of hearing person to important sounds and danger signals in the home, workplace and public buildings. “First, the Hearing Dog locates the source of the sound such as a doorbell ringing. Next, it locates its person and alerts them to the fact there was a sound,” says Konopelski. “The person asks the dog ‘what?’ verbally or by using a hand signal. The Hearing Dog responds by leading its person to the source of the sound.” In the past, Canine Companions trained a variety of breeds to be Hearing Dogs. “For example, we used to train Corgis to be Hearing Dogs. They could do the work of a Hearing Dog but were problematic because they always were trying to herd children around. Now, we breed Labrador and golden retrievers to place as Hearing Dogs or as one of the other kinds of assistance dogs we train. Labs and goldens don’t exhibit problematic, breed-related behaviors like herding. Even more importantly, they have an intense drive to work and please. Their larger size also enables them to alert strongly enough to wake someone from a sound sleep,” Konopelski says. Typically, Hearing Dogs lead busy lives working for their person. Often, that includes meeting lots of people and going to numerous, busy environments where they encounter different noises, sights and smells and are placed in a variety of situations. In order to deal with such diverse stimuli, they need to have a lot of stamina. Hearing Dogs also need to be higher energy than other kinds of assistance dogs because of the way in which they alert their person to sounds. Hearing dogs need to be highly intelligent, as well, and able to “take the lead” at times rather than always following their person’s commands, according to Konopelski. “For example, two of our hard of hearing clients are married,” she says. “Even though they live together in the same house, each one has a Hearing Dog of their own. If the microwave timer goes off, their Hearing Dogs know who put the food in the microwave and the appropriate dog alerts the appropriate person.” The training process Puppies are born in the homes of Canine Companions volunteers.

placed with a puppy raiser family, who socializes them and teaches them basic obedience commands. At 18-months-ofage, the dogs are returned to one of Canine Companions’ five regional training centers. “They spend the next 6 to 9 months learning service and hearing dog skills,” says Konopelski. “At 2-years-of–age, they’re ready to be matched and placed with a deaf or hard of hearing person. At this point, Hearing Dogs know between 40 and 60 commands.” The dog and its human partner are matched when they attend a two-week Team Training session. During the program, the person learns everything from how to care for the dog to all of the commands the dog knows. Each Team Training session culminates with administration of the Public Access Test, which is part of the Assistance Dogs International Accreditation Program. The test includes a series of tasks that must be performed by the dog and its person as a team. For example, a Hearing Dog and its person must demonstrate their ability to safely negotiate escalators and elevators. “Usually, people with a Hearing Dog are ambulatory,” Konopelski says. “So, they need to have these skills. The goal of the test is to ensure public access to the deaf or hard of hearing person such that he could go anywhere in public independently the same as a hearing person could.” After being matched and placed with a person and having passed the Public Access Test, each Hearing Dog’s alerting pattern is customized to the life and environment of the person with whom it was placed. For example, it would need to be taught to recognize the specific sound of its person’s cell phone since all ring tones don’t sound alike. It also might be taught to alert to the beeping sound that indicates an incoming e-mail message, if its person uses a computer; or to the ringing of a pager, if its Deaf and hard of person wears one. hearing persons In all, it takes about 2 years to can have active train each Hearing Dog and costs lifestyles because their Hearing between $40,000 and $45,000.

The benefits “Partnering with a Hearing Dog can increase feelings of security and self-confidence by heightening awareness of environmental sounds,” says Konopelski. “Someone, who is deaf or hard of hearing, might not have the confidence to go out in public alone and also might worry about missing phone calls or knocks on the door when they’re at home. A Hearing Dog changes all of that.” Recognition of a hearing disability is another important benefit.

“While it’s obvious that someone in a wheelchair has a disability, being deaf or hard of hearing isn’t,” Konopelski says. “The presence of a hearing dog wearing a hearing dog vest makes other people aware of the deaf or hard of hearing person’s disability. Without the presence of a Hearing Dog, others might think a deaf or hard of hearing person is rude if he fails to respond to another person’s greeting or question.” Of all the wonderful ways in which Hearing Dogs enrich the lives of the deaf or hard of hearing, companionship is among the most valued. Having a hearing disability often causes a person to feel isolated and lonely. In addition to enabling the person to go out in public and interact with other people, Hearing Dogs also provide much needed companionship and affection.

trust in the dog’s instincts and for me it was difficult. I had a hard time wrapping my brain around the true depth of a Bloodhound’s abilities as a trailing dog. I just couldn’t figure out how they knew, how strong their senses are and how much they love to trail. I had to learn to read my dog, understand her and not try to correct her to what I thought was the correct trail. For me this was an entirely new concept. However, a common misconception about Bloodhounds is that they are only a nose with a body attached. It has sometimes been difficult to find trainers outside of our breed who understand the complexity of training Bloodhounds or for that matter, hounds in general. I’ve attended all-breed obedience seminars where trainers insist that all dogs have certain ‘drives’ and they are literally disgusted when my Bloodhounds turn their heads away from the ‘irresistible’ motivators. Bloodhounds are incredibly smart and independent which makes for a challenging combination and handling them in the various dog sports forces you to be creative enough to find ways to motivate your hound to want to work because there just might be something in it for them. However, you can’t rush them because they are not quick to mature. With Maizy I was in a hurry to prove that I had a well-rounded dog and I wanted it all before she was two. She taught me that rushing a 106 Dog News

Two-year-old Au ( Ch Flessner’s I Believe At Gumshoe CTD M CGC CGN) Kim Bialkowski’s current Bloodhound is just beginning his career in agility competition.

Bloodhound is potentially catastrophic. So, I learned to spend more time by spending less time focusing on shorter training sessions that were fun for her. You also absolutely have to have a sense of humor because they will either make you incredibly frustrated or make you laugh until you have to hold your sides to keep them from splitting,” said Stacey Poler. “I think it is important to challenge a Bloodhound mentally by continually asking the dog to learn new tasks. It improves the bond between you and your hound and provides positive experiences for both you and the dog,” said Janet Kelly, whose current Bloodhound Ch Wynbrook Apogee Ironclad Oath MTX (“Steeler”) is one of the youngest, at 16 months, to have earned all three mantrailing titles. “Bloodhounds defy all stereotypes about them, that they are lazy, dumb, etc. They are extremely intelligent dogs that love to please, especially when they are nicely asked. But, formal competitive obedience can be difficult as young male Bloodhounds can be very headstrong and somewhat stubborn. You have to use positive reinforcement and vary training routines to avoid boredom. When you are trailing with your Bloodhound, you have to learn to ‘read’ the dog as well as learning lead control and keeping a large dog under control while he was ‘in charge.’ Even though my hounds have not been active search and rescue dogs and we primarily do mantrailing for sport, I train them in this activity several times a month.” It is important to wait until a Bloodhound has had a chance to mature before participating in some of the dog sports, according to Bialkowski. “While I start basic obedience training when my pups are eight weeks old, it takes a long time to go from training to competition. Over the years I have learned not to be in such a big hurry to get into the ring but to wait until they have some maturity behind them. I train with two obedience clubs in order to be able to train both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors it is very hard to keep a Bloodhound’s nose off the ground. It takes a lot of patience and a positive, fun attitude to keep their noses off the ground. Agility can also be difficult because the dogs have to learn how to duck for some obstacles like the tunnel or the chute. The other thing about agility is that fall injuries can be worse because of the dog’s size. In agility, I don’t let my dogs race around the course. We go slow and steady. In that way the risk of injury is minimized.” One of the major issues the breed faces is judges’ education, according to Poler. “Setting all other things aside, we need judges to appreciate and understand our breed standard and to judge based on the standard, not the ‘trends’ that are currently seen in the ring. Our standard was written to produce well-rounded Bloodhounds and this should be the primary focus. I don’t believe in separating working dogs and show dogs. If you have a good working dog, it should be good at working because it was bred to meet the standard. A good show dog should have the ability, the instinct and the temperament to step out of the ring and work. There is no greater accomplishment than being able to finish both a championship and working titles on your dog.”

Menaker currently serves on the Boards of several other corporations; he was past Chairman and is the current Vice Chairman and a Director of New York Downtown Hospital. He is also a member of the Board of Overseers of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. He is a former member of Morris Animal Foundation’s Board of Directors and that of a local New Jersey Animal Rescue organization, St. Hubert’s Giralda. Menaker has served in various capacities on the Boards of several AKC affiliated organizations as well. He was one of the early Directors of the AKC Museum of the Dog, having been its President. He is also a member of the Board of Directors of AKC Companion Animal Recovery. He is currently the Vice Chairman and a Founding Member of the AKC Humane Fund. Ron avidly supports many AKC clubs as well. He is the former Delegate to the Bedlington Terrier Club of America, for which he also served as President, and is also a member of the Giant Schnauzer Club of America and of the Border Terrier Club of America. In addition to being a member of these three parent clubs, he is a member of the Westminster Kennel Club, the Morris and Essex Kennel Club, the Westchester Kennel Club and the Tuxedo Park Kennel Club. Menaker has been active with several breeds of purebred dogs over the years. Beginning with a German Shepherd Dog, he and his family have enjoyed the company of Bedlington Terriers, Giant Schnauzers, Norfolk Terriers and Border Terriers. He has finished Championships on many of his dogs and only traded his armband for the Judge’s badge when he took a seat at the AKC Board of Directors’ table. Menaker is forthcoming about how he came to the Sport of

dogs, and enjoys recalling the story of how his pleas to breeders for a dog fell on deaf ears and led him to buy his first show prospect at Gimbels department store. That puppy and Menaker embarked on a journey that resulted in a lifelong passion for the sport of purebred dogs. In his fourteen years in various leadership roles on the Board, Menaker has been witness to a host of accomplishments and challenges, but he believes that the most significant issue facing AKC today is declining registrations. When Menaker joined the Board in 1996, registration numbers had already begun to deteriorate. From a high point of 1.5 million registrations in the early 1990’s, AKC registrations diminished year over year, eventually falling below 600,000 in 2010. The continual loss of registrations resulted in a very serious revenue shortfall. (Consider that in 1965, 95% of all AKC revenues came from registrations and supported all of AKC’s programs and overhead. Today, our revenues from registrations are less than fifty percent.) Menaker explained that some of the decline could be attributed to the law of “unintended consequences,” in which policies put in place to protect the interests of purebred dogs and the fancy resulted in other side effects, to the detriment of the Sport. Specifically he addressed AKC’s policy on DNA requirements for Frequently Used Sires as well as its approach to inspections and investigations, which, while motivated by our sense of duty to educate and rehabilitate, often came off as heavy-handed and hostile. These actions gave rise to the perception that AKC wanted to remove commercial breeders from the Registry. As a result, many commercial breeders in good standing with AKC left and formed their own registries based on dogs originally acquired with AKC registrations. Today, Menaker said, there are 34 other competing registries, in the aggregate causing a tremendous loss of revenue to AKC. Another unintended consequence could be found Continued on page 112

in our well intentioned provision for a non-breeding limited registration. The adoption of limited registration has caused us to lose eleven percent of potential breeding stock each year from the AKC Registry. Sadly, many of these limited registrations are simply converted to full registrations with our many competitors. Menaker maintains a realistic attitude about these lost registrations, noting that the significant decline in registration did not occur overnight; therefore it cannot be expected to be resolved quickly. He admonishes “There is no silver bullet. It will be a long road back.” The 1990s was a pivotal time for AKC. Compounding the issue of declining revenue was the mounting need to support the growth of the Sport. At that time, AKC was subsidizing events at a cost of over $10 million a year. Costs to AKC for events grew as our core revenues shrank. Up until the 1980s, dog shows, obedience trials, field trials and tracking were the only activities in which AKC was engaged. To these were added agility, rally, hunting tests, coonhound events, lure coursing, earthdog, herding tests and trials at the requests of member clubs wanting these activities. (Incidentally, the only sport that does not have to be subsidized is agility.) In 1965 the number of events offered was 6,044. In 2009 this number had ballooned to 22,843. The technological infrastructure necessary to maintain and support these activities cannot be ignored. Also during this period the public began to shift some of its interest from purchasing AKC-registrable purebred dogs to adopting from shelters. The animal rights movement began building an insidious campaign that has over the past several decades infiltrated even seemingly well-meaning rescue charities and veterinary schools with an anti-breeding message. Over the course of a quarter of a century, all of these factors made it evident that a prudent increase in fees for registrations and other services was necessary, as AKC was facing a serious revenue

problem. Furthermore, it became obvious that alternative sources of income had to be identified and fostered in response to the shortfall. To achieve this, AKC broadened its approach to reach beyond core sources of income and traditional activities. One of the first of the new initiatives was the AKC Canine Good Citizen program, in which mixed breed and purebred dogs were able to achieve basic training designations for good manners in the home and the community. CGC has proved invaluable as an educational and public relations activity from which later programs have extended, such as the AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy program. Canine Partners, another large-scale effort to engage a broader audience of dog owners, counted 20,000 mixed breeds listed as of year-end 2010. Under Menaker’s tenure, staff also created several new opportunities for breeders and show giving clubs. He said the Grand Champion program is proving very successful in helping clubs bring increased participation and additional revenue from entries, to AKC’s benefit as well. The new Breeder of Merit program, still in its early stages, is quite popular with breeders who strive to be responsible custodians of their breeds. AKC staff has worked creatively to bring in $75 million in non-core revenue over the past ten years through major initiatives including licensing, sponsorships and affinity programs. Menaker spared no words in praising the executives and staff for their dedication, motivation and innovation in their efforts to bring alternative revenue to AKC and find solutions to declining registrations while serving the Sport simultaneously. He was specific about staff’s careful attention to cost saving as well, citing that recently Continued on page 114

senior executives went beyond the call of duty in voluntarily declining any pay raises. Impressively, while reducing costs, several new functions were established. Menaker feels strongly that the fancy should feel gratified in knowing that the Sport and our organization are well served by a dedicated, talented and responsible team of employees. Public relations have become of vital importance to AKC as our organization struggles with declining registrations, falling revenues and legislative challenges, and Menaker’s leadership has seen an enhanced Communications Department, the engaging of a public relations firm and the addition of a Canine Legislative Department to bolster efforts already being made in Public Education. Menaker went on to enumerate other successful public outreach steps. The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship is now a prime time television event, and is the single largest Bred by show in the nation and the only international competition in the U.S. The air time for this show is worth several million dollars and the positive PR value to AKC is immeasurable. The first two stand-alone “Meet the Breeds” expos in New York City were mega-hits with the public and the media, to the tune of about 40,000 people each year. The annual “Meet the Breeds” accompanying the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship draws thousands of spectators as well. The most recent one in December drew 160 parent clubs showcasing their breeds. AKC Responsible Dog Ownership Days has become an annual event hosted by kennel clubs around the country. These successful local outreach efforts have been a cooperative effort between AKC staff and clubs.

When Menaker gave this interview to “D” he seemed frustrated by the attitude of a number of AKC’s Delegates. He cited the tendency of some to criticize and often second guess every action the Board and Staff initiate. In fact, he points to the governance structure as AKC’s Achilles’ heel. He feels that the structure of AKC must be modernized to keep pace with our changing world. The AKC Board of Directors is meant to set policy and the staff is charged with running the day to day business of the organization. However, he believes that with the combination of a 600-member delegate body and an archaic set of Bylaws, it has become too difficult to make efficient and actionable decisions in today’s fast paced environment. Menaker asserts that when AKC broadcasts, by written or spoken word from delegate to constituent, the outside world is often inappropriately let in on certain matters that would normally be kept confidential. This can allow AKC to lose its competitive edge and forfeit strategic advantage. Menaker noted that the role of the Delegate under both New York State law and the AKC Bylaws is not to make day to day business decisions. He feels the Board should provide expertise in areas requiring specialized knowledge, or seek outside help in doing so, and let the staff be free to make business decisions affecting the organization at a moment’s notice, as the majority of American businesses do. Menaker referred to the “Petland” matter in which the outcry from some Delegates was so public and acrimonious that a contract was rescinded. Our reputation and credContinued on page 116

ibility were damaged by that public display, a matter which should have been a purely business transaction. (The essence of the agreement was to register AKC dogs at the point of sale. He reminded me puppies purchased from pet shops have been registered with AKC ever since pet shops were established after World War II, the fact of which some Delegates were unaware.) To clarify his position Menaker explained, “AKC has long and proud traditions, and it is our responsibility to both honor and maintain them. At the same time, in order to preserve the Sport as we know it, and to keep the AKC financially healthy and viable as an organization, we must be willing to reevaluate constantly how we do business in a rapidly changing environment. Often we must be able to act immediately and decisively, and in some cases confidentially, on business proposals with very brief windows of opportunity, and we need the ability to respond quickly to and counter challenges from competitors and from those who try to discredit the Sport. While the Bylaws give the Board this authority, in reality AKC’s governance structure is much more cumbersome, and makes quick, decisive action and confidential negotiations next to impossible. This can place the organization at a serious disadvantage when it comes to trying to operate a successful and competitive business or react to

threats to the Sport.” He further stated, “The fact is, we are a 21st century, $60 million business forced to operate by our antiquated Bylaws like a 19th century club. The Board and Staff are too often hindered by our archaic governance structure.” Menaker is emphatic that we need to change the way we do business by revising and modernizing the Bylaws. Menaker said there is a need for proven special talent and significant professional accomplishments on the Board. He believes that AKC would benefit from appointing to the Board, even in a non-voting capacity, one or two non-Delegates, such as prominent business executives who possess unique and relevant expertise. Currently this is not permitted under the Bylaws. Another major problem facing us soon is the restructuring of our Bylaws to address the growing number of eligible clubs. Currently there are over 800 additional clubs eligible to apply for membership, which could swell the current roster to over 1,400. Moreover, there are an additional 3,500 clubs holding AKC events that are not even eligible to apply for membership under the current Bylaws. Menaker thinks that three Delegate meetings per year are sufficient to conduct business while being more cost effective. It is interesting to note, that in 1965 the cost of Delegate and Board activities was $19,000. In 2009 that cost had risen to $833,000. Menaker sees an opportunity to reduce these expenses. We discussed the notion of term limits, and on this subject Menaker’s attitude is pragmatic. He believes that in effect we already had term limits in place, with the Delegates’ ability to vote someone out of office at their discretion. He elaborated that if the Delegates feel mandatory term limits are necessary, it should include a full four year term exclusion after two terms served. He also firmly believes that term limits should also apply to Delegate Committees for the same reasons and rationale applied to Board members. Continued on page 118

A CHAIRMAN’S REFLECTIONS Continued FROM page 116

With an eye toward the future of the sport, Menaker affirmed that AKC must be innovative, flexible and willing to change the way we do business to remain successful. He cited Canine Partners as an example of a positive initiative that has proven beneficial in growing a coalition between pet owners of mixed breeds and purebred dogs. When asked about his greatest accomplishment during his tenure on the Board, Menaker pointed to the financial reserve and endowment that he and Hon. David Merriam established. (This fund now has $55 million in reserves to be used in the event of catastrophe, operations emergency or other major unforeseen expense.) Menaker also speaks of his role in the repair of the registration meltdown in 2003 among the highlights of his leadership. “One of the most gratifying experiences I had as Chairman occurred at the time when AKC faced one of the greatest challenges in its history. The complete collapse of the registration system in 2003, resulting from a failed reengineering effort, threatened not only AKC’s main revenue stream, but the very existence of our organization.” He went on to recall “I had the opportunity to spend two months in AKC’s Raleigh Operations facility, working with dedicated staff members and outside consultants not only to bring the Registry back, but to reintroduce a much more efficient and enhanced, reengineered system. There was greatly improved productivity, and much better collaboration among departments. One of the principal enhancements to this new system was our ability to process registration applications online. It is now hard to imagine a registration system without that capability.” Today, approximately

thirty-nine percent of dog registration applications and seventy-four percent of litter registration applications are processed online. Menaker was emphatic in his belief that the only way that AKC will be around in 100 years is to make fiscally sound decisions. He said AKC has been successful when other organizations have failed, and we have weathered poor economic conditions with good results. He is proud of the fact that AKC continues to be the only all-breed not-for-profit registry in the United States, which is still able to support a multitude of other nonprofits, including the AKC Canine Health Foundation, the AKC Museum of the Dog, and the AKC Humane Fund. Yet he contends that changes to the fundamental structure of our organization must be made and we must continue to innovate in order to preserve and protect but also enhance AKC’s position in the world of dogs. As for his future, Menaker enjoys judging and he would like to return to the ring some day as an exhibitor. He also has a few other options to occupy his time. He derives great satisfaction from the work he has done at New York Downtown Hospital; he will continue this and other not-for-profit activities and is considering joining other corporate Boards. As our lengthy talk ended, Menaker took one more opportunity to commend the Officers and Staff for their extraordinary dedication, enthusiasm and great contributions – both personal and professional – to serve AKC, its constituents and the public. He is clearly an advocate of the proud tradition of AKC, and hopes that its future will be placed in the hands of those who are committed to that legacy in the years ahead. •

Why The Real “National” Is A Success Continued FROM page 54

T. Hafford and James P. Blanchard, walked away with the $15,000 for Best Bred By plus $1,500 for winning the group. Jay and the “Thaon Afghans” have been a leading force in the breed for at least over thirty years. I have judged the breed for thirty years and Jay has never exhibited an Afghan to me that was not top quality. Back in 2003 at the initial event, Jay won the Bred-by Hound group with Ch. Thaon’s Wannadance, who is the sire of Mowgli. Besides all the winning Mowgli has recently been doing another Thaon bred Afghan has been winning on the East Coast, who is a grandson of Mowgli. I am sure Jay will not rest on his laurels and will be seen with a new star shortly. Last year we saw Best Bred By won by the team of Kim and Anthony Calvacca, Robin Greenslade and Howard Schwell with the Min Pin, Ch. Kimro’s Soldier Boy. This year this same team came back with a “Soldier Boy” daughter, Ch. Kimor’s Dora the Explorer, to win the Bred By Toy group. This little bitch represents five generations of BIS winning Min Pins. It seems like only yesterday that Kim of Boxer fame and Robin of Giant Schnauzer fame, teamed up to breed Min Pins and each generation has continued to improve. Robin bred the top winning Giant Schnauzer this past year. While watching the breed at Eukanuba I saw this bitch was edged out by a young dog that Robin had never seen before. She remarked that she did not mind losing to a dog like that and saw what potential the dog offered the breed. This is the mark of a real breeder. This is the reason why Robin continues forward. I have heard great things about a new Giant bred by Robin that just made its debut. How fitting that for 2012 Best Bred By will be judged by Pat Trotter. Having handled homebreds to winning the group at the Garden is a record that will last to eternity. In the last five years Pat and Vin-Melca Elkhounds have won the Bred By Hound group three times, with three different dogs. Needless to say Pat will not be showing next year, but the likes of Jay, Kim and Robin are all hoping to get into Pat’s ring. Last year was the first time we saw the run off for the Eukanuba Breeders Stakes for the four winning breeders of the four sections of the country. This year the Eastern competition was moved to Orlando. By holding the event Wednesday evening it could attract entries from all over the country, being they would be there for the big weekend. This was a good move and increased the entry to seventy. The winner of the run off got to participate in the World Challenge. This gave American breeders another chance at winning the World Challenge. Because of time restraints the Breeder’s Stakes final had to take place when many breeds were still being judged and few people got to watch it. I am sure in the future a better time slot will be allocated for this event. All great shows are made up of a lot of parts and pieces. With all the aforementioned events this certainly would make the AKC/Eukanuba a one of a kind show, but the crowning glory of the puzzle has to be the World Challenge. This is what sets apart Eukanuba from any other show in the World today. Due to logistics and costs I cannot imagine it can ever be copied. Over 40 different countries participate. But it really represents many more different countries. It is not feasible to have every country 120 Dog News

of the world represented, so many of the top dogs from smaller countries compete in run offs to determine who will go the World Challenge. Many of the dogs invited to the Challenge have already beaten many great winning dogs from smaller countries. That is why you see listed entries from the Winner FCI Asia/Pacific, Winner FCI Americas/Caribbean, European Qualifier 3, North America, European Qualifier 2, Latin America Qualifier and the Winner FCI Europe. Each country determines how they will be represented. For example the USA entry is whoever went BIS the preceding year at Eukanuba. Some countries send their top ranking dog based on their ranking system. The forty plus dogs are divided into four sections. Each section is judged by a different judge from different corners of the globe. For the first couple of years the sections were divided by the dogs from the 4 different sections of the world. The only problem was that the Asian section one year had three different countries being represented by “Smash” Toy Poodles, since they bred the top winning dog in so many countries. Now the forty plus are drawn from a lottery type system. That is why you might see in one section two dogs from the same country. Last year in the section I judged I had two dogs from Chile. The Akita was top winning dog of Chile and the Afghan was the winner of the FCI Winner – Americas & Caribbean Show. Most people will never see or realize the detail or man hours that go into staging this event. On Friday the four section judges, the dogs, handlers, individual Club Presidents, TV crew and all kinds of staff meet for hours going through a practice run. It looks so easy when they all enter the big arena and everything is so finely toned. What a breathtaking sight it is to see all the great dogs, beautiful flags carried by the club presidents, etc. etc., but all of this has been carefully planned the day before. The cost to get all of these dogs to the Challenge is astronomical. Recently while in Denmark the Great Dane representing Denmark last year cost over $7,000 just for the transportation of the dog. Then you have the transportation cost of the two owners, plus expenses while here, etc. No individual show could do this and it takes a major international company with huge resources to accomplish it all. Even in the days when Pedigree sponsored the likes of Westminster, Crufts and so many major shows around the world, this would have been a drop in the bucket compared to staging the World Challenge. It has been said “the World Challenge is what dreams are made of and where dreams come true”. There is no other show that this phrase could be more meaningful. Just ask Judy Harrington and Leslie Frank. Last year when the Australian Shepherd, Ch. Propwash Reckon, won the Invitational it had to be the dream of a lifetime. They walked away winning the great show, winning close to $67,000 in prize money and Leslie was awarded Herding Group Breeder of the Year. Who could ever dream of more than this? If they only knew what was yet to come. Last year, after the prejudging, I was warned not to even give a clue to the three dogs I would be sending forward later in the evening. This was easy since when I walked out of the prejudging ring I did not have a clue which three it would be. For the many hours between prejudging and entering the big arena I kept thinking Continued on page 122

which three it would come down to. I have to say it was the greatest collection of dogs ever presented to me. It was not until they went through their final paces that I was able to decide which three would go onto the finals. When Enrique Filipini walked in to judge the final lineup this year, he must have quickly realized this might be the hardest decision he would have to make in all of his years of judging. Nobody will ever forget his BIS assignment at Montgomery in 2006. Besides his procedure being flawless, he was able to get every spectator more enthused than they had ever been before. His joy of judging the dogs was contagious to all in attendance. So we knew he would get the viewers out of their chairs cheering for their favorites. In a past life Enrique must have been a great circus ringmaster. It is monumental to think of the degree of quality that stood before Enrique. There in the final lineup was the Doberman that won the whole World Challenge last year, the Australian Shepherd that was last year’s BIS winner at Eukanuba, the Toy Poodle who won the French show this year in Paris and the Smooth Fox Terrier, who was number one dog in America in 2010 and this year the top winning dog ever of Brazil. Also so many dogs with records hard to match. The First Runner Up went to the Lhasa Apso, Ch. Zentarr Elizabeth, representing the United Kingdom, the Toy Poodle, Ch. Smash JP Moon Walk, representing Japan. Then the unthinkable dream happened. The Australian Shepherd,

representing the USA, was the winner of the World Challenge. The $15,000 prize money paled compared to winning $67,000 last year, but I am sure both Judy and Leslie were even more thrilled this year. Last year “Reckon” had to beat every great dog in America, this year he had to beat every great dog from around the world. Most of us most likely will never live to see this feat accomplished again. All of the dogs have to be congratulated in making it to the finals. Just being invited is a dream come true. Special mention has to be noted that the Saluki, Ch. Shirz California Dreamin, was competing in the World Challenge for his third consecutive year. He was the runner up in 2009 and this year was back in the final lineup. What a feat for this dog to represent Sweden three years in a row. It will be a long time until we see this happen again too. “Walker”, the Toy Poodle, the runner up this year, is sired by Ch. Smash HP Talk About, who was the first runner up in 2008 and also the only dog to have gone BIS at the World Show twice. It will come as no surprise to see a “Smash” Toy Poodle capturing the World Challenge in the near future. The Doberman, last year’s winner, who was back again this year, is co-owned by Andrea Laruccia, who was a co-owner of the 2007 runner up. The Doberman and the Toy Poodle prove the saying “applies do not fall far from the tree”. The fancy as a whole in the US has great pride in our American breeders. There were seven different dogs entered in the World Challenge that were bred in the US, which is nearly 20% of the entire entry. Exhibitors from around the world have been privileged to attain some of the best dogs bred in the States. Four of these dogs made up the final twelve or it was one third of the final lineup bred in the US. 122 Dog News

It seems just a few short years ago we saw Valerie Nunes-Atkinson and Amy Rodrigues-Booth competing in Junior Showmanship. Their talent was recognized as young teenagers. Now today the Saluki representing Sweden for the third year in a row was co-bred by Valerie, who also coowned the shorthaired Pointer that went BIS at Westminster in 2005. Little Amy has gone on to win over 200 Bests with Smooths. After making “Dodger” number dog in America in 2010, she let him become the top winning dog ever in Brazil. It makes us realize our juniors of today might become the leading fanciers of tomorrow. Going back to the question of can one get too much of a good thing? All those attending Orlando will definitely say “NO”. The weekend did give much credence to “No pain- No gain”. Everyone complained they had much more pain than any dog show they had ever been to before. By Saturday morning I woke up with my legs and feet hurting and opted to take the shuttle to the show. The set-up for the venue did entail much more walking this year, but most people agree it was the best show ever. Moving to a new venue is never easy. The all breed clubs, AKC and Eukanuba have to be congratulated on how smoothly everything went. Each year the show only gets more and more fine tuned. Working out some of the minor kinks that arose this year will make for close to perfection next year. It would be impossible for the fancy to thank all responsible for this monumental event. Eukanuba has to be recognized for supporting the entire world of dog lovers. Jason Taylor and Vicki Seiler manage a huge committee of Eukanuba workers. Seems not very long ago a very pleasant young man was showing Airedales to me. Now Jason is the star not me. The never aging Vicki seems to have always been with us. I do think Vicki might have been moonlighting in her very little free hours. I am sure I noticed her in the beauty pageant that was going on concurrently with the dog show. Ron Menaker, who conceived the Invitational, must have been one of the “Ringling Brothers” in a past life. We all know Ron does not rest on his laurels and will keep coming up with new, innovative ideas and events for a few years to come. A few years ago we all thought “Kid Michael” could only show Afghans. Michael Canalizo went on to be a top judge and now Michael is the Events Coordinator overseeing so much detail 24/7. When his mother, Lee, stepped into the big ring this year to judge the Hound Group, she had to have thought – “and my Michael is much responsible for all before us.” Sure those thoughts vanished quickly when she saw what a challenge lay in front of her. It would wear lots of batteries in a calculator out to add up the endless hours Paula Spector puts in regarding travel and hotels just for this show. This show probably adds up to more than her combined duties throughout the year. She has been named “Saint Paula” because it does take a Saint to be working sending out emails late on a Sunday or Saturday night. None of us can probably ever guess the amount of hours she dedicates to the fancy in so many ways. It is impossible to thank the hundreds and hundreds of people responsible for this event, but the people that have to be thanked the most are the handlers and exhibitors presenting all these dogs for the entire world to see. Without all the great breeders from around the entire world we would not have seen beautiful dogs for our viewing pleasure. This past year I have visited some of the “Wonders of the World”, but I put the “World Challenge” at the top of the list.

I don’t often review books in this column, the new children’s book written by JANET YORK certainly deserves mention. Titled “Over The Hill To Piccadillyville” is a wonderful story that addresses friendship and bullying. With artwork and design by JAN STITZEL it is food for the eyes and mind. This is JANET’S fifth book and her years as a teacher, mother of three and grandmother of four (very young grandmother to say the least) are combined with her artistic talents to make this a must for your library. All of us at DOG NEWS send our deepest sympathies to BARRY CLOTHIER and his family on the loss of his beloved father FRANCIS. Happy Anniversaries to NANCY & BRYAN MARTIN, CONNIE & KEN WILLIAMS, TONI & MARTIN SOSNOFF and ROSALIE &

OTO’S REVENGE was the theme of this year’s party hosted at the home of LARRY CORNELIUS & MARCELO VERAS to benefit TAKE THE LEAD. As creative as the yearly theme of the party is, it’s the uniqueness that this is the only TAKE THE LEAD benefit held in a supporter’s home. Thanks to the generosity of the hosts, the evening raised over $24,000. Among the guests outfitted as Dorothy, Tin Man, Good Witch and Bad Witch or the Wizard himself were JACKIE BEAUDOIN, FRANCO LICCIARDI, JANE & GREG MYERS, DEB SHINDLE, MARI-BETH O’NEILL, RANDY GARREN, AARON WILKERSON, KAREN WILSON, KIMBERLY MEREDITH CAVANNA, JUNE & GERRY PENTA, LINDA KRUKAR, KAY & BILL PEISER, MAUREEN & FRANK JEWETT, CAITLYN JEWETT, PATTY & CHRIS NEALE, CAROL HARRIS, TAMMY HIRSTEIN FORBES, MICHELLE & ELLIOT FEDERMAN, AMY & PHIL BOOTH, ROBIN GREENSLADE, DEBBIE BURKE, RON SCOTT, AMY & TOM GRABBE, VIRGINIA DORRIS, JANICE GRANDA, TONYA & JERRY JORDAN, MICHELLE CLAIR, BLAKE HANSEN, MEGAN MELLO, TOM GRINELS, DONNA MEYERS and RICK IACAVA.

very courageous of them as it is not easy to have enough return to compensate for the sponsorship. I would suggest that at least they would have a kind of promotion stand in the front hall that has most of the rings and where there is activity during the day, a kind of teaser to raise the interest of the public. Their big stand was now nearby the main ring and it was not the most strategic place. It is important for a sponsor that it does not need to return home with mixed feelings. A more central position would be better as now people found the stand only at the very end of the halls. Again applause for the main ring in carpet tiles, it proved practical and clean again after a few “accidents” during the main ring program. The affected tiles were removed in seconds and the ring looked spotless again. The background behind the podium was once more reflecting and that is a problem for the photos. Better is non-reflecting tissue as this not only looks more even, the messages on it remain fully readable, and that is what they are meant for, isn’t it? The catalog was almost perfect, I only missed a statistical page and an alphabetical lexicon of the dog breeds present. That are two things that are easily distilled from the database nowadays and are most appreciated by the visitors as that is something that they can understand. It is a matter of 4-5 pages more. And on the other hand, as the addresses of the exhibitors/ owners are mentioned under the dogs’ names, it can be considered to drop the alphabetical pages of the owners which saves 30

pages. No Cups here, but the usual modern glasswork, that is well appreciated. 8 Belgian judges, some only to fill certain gaps or judging a new breed for the first time, and 16 others from 10 different is offering the perfect mix for a CACIB show. However, probably due to the unexpected decrease in entries, some judges didn’t have a big number of dogs to judge and judges with big entries were few. From Ireland we had a few judges. Mrs. Laura Cox had the 32 Staffordshires Bull Terriers on Saturday and she ended with 114 dogs over both days. Mr. Gerard Cox judged the 39 American Staffordshires on Saturday and finished with 100 dogs over both days. Mrs. Dorothea Carroll had 40 Newfoundlands on Sunday when she had a total number of 77 dogs, the 3rd best score of the weekend. On Saturday she had only 33 dogs to judge. Mr. Nodalli Bruno from Italy finished with 132 dogs, on Sunday he judged all the poodle varieties. Mr. Piet Roosenboom is one of the Belgian judges who often fills gaps but who is very popular. He judged Border Collies only on Saturday, good for 42 specimen, more than the Aussies who are more popular on shows. On Sunday he had 54 Bulldogs, the 2nd most popular breed of the show. Mrs. Myriam Vermeire, who is comparable to Mr. Roosenboom, was rather busy on Sunday when she had 34 Rhodesians and a total number of 78 dogs. Her husband Mr.

Dirk Spruyt had 33 Rottweilers that day, a number that is worth mentioning. Mrs. Julia Lewis from the UK was invited to judge the 59 Labradors only. That was on Saturday. It was a long time ago since there were more Labradors on a Belgian show than Golden Retrievers. Mr. Sand Sverre from Denmark was invited to judge them. For him too, it was the only breed had judged on this show. Best scoring judge of the show was the French judge Mr. Boris Chapiro. He had 69 dogs on Saturday and 73 on Sunday. His compatriot was the day record holder with 81 dogs on Sunday, when he took all the Pinscher and Schnauzer varieties for his account. From Greece came Mr. Dimitris Antonopoulos. He had a total score of 117 on both days, but worth mentioning were the 58 Dachshunds he judged on Sunday, and that is a very nice score for a show of this kind. Mr. Norman Deschuymere was again on term to choose the Best In Show dog. For the 3rd place he chose the Siberian Husky “Snowmist’s Quidditch Seeker” owned by Leblanc-Van Gorp. This dog was Best In Show in Kortrijk, remember? This dog was judged by Mrs. Myriam Vermeire. He won in Champion Class and won the group also under Mr. Deschuymere. Although there were only a few dogs entered from Norway, they went home again with the two biggest trophies and lots of fantastic memories. On the second place he placed the Pug “Windsome Gold Standard”. This dog was bred in the States by Virginia Flatley but is now owned by Björn Lôkes-Torres who had a finalist in Paris at the World Dog Show. Gold Standard was entered in Champion Class under judge Sjong Kitty. She defeated 19 opponents and persuaded later Mr. Jo Shepers, who judged the group, to try his chances in the finals. And the Best In Show dog was another dog from Norway and another dog that scored well lately, she was one of the selected dogs on the Champion of Champions Show in Brussels. But this time she finally reached the top. Her name is Zanta Av Quantos and she is almost 6 years. She is a dog that is not a caricature of the breed and that is very good. Tor and Zanta floated around the main ring and is you see Tor, he is like a Viking God with his long blond hair. Zanta was the choice of Mr. Deschuymere during the breed judging in the morning, while Mrs. Vermeire gave him the ticket for the Finals. I am almost sure that Tor and Zanta will be back soon in Belgium.

to attend! There was just one thing about the shows that bothered her, “The sun never shines here!” She was eager to begin the 2100-mile drive back to Missouri and some sun. The star of Lori’s pack for the past year has been 2011’s number one hound, Ch. Starline’s Chanel. So when Alvin Lee, Jr., showed up in the group on Sunday with a lovely fawn brindle bitch, Ch. Endeavor’s White Roses On Nysa Hill, gossip was rampant that this dog had beaten Chanel. But it wasn’t so. Chanel was not entered. Lori says Chanel is taking most of the year off, appearing only at select shows, while she prepares for her next job as a mother. Instead, Lori was starting a new Whippet champion, Ch. Starline’s French Kiss, who won Group 4 on Saturday. The Saturday Best in Show went to the Affenpinscher, Ch. Tamarin Top Banana, shown by Jorge Olivera, owned by Myrna Kahlo and bred by Tamarin Kennels, Tracy Kahlo, & Suzy Stremel. If a dog can ask for it, that’s what Topper was doing, out there charming the crowd and the judge with his antics. Great way to start 2012. He finished 2011 with the Affenpinscher Club of America’s National Specialty, 58 Toy Groups, and ten all breed BIS.

is variously translated from the local Lushootseed Salish indigenous language as “meander dwellers” or “willow people.” They were also known to early European-American settlers as “Squak”,“Simump”, and “Squowh.” Sunday, Puyallup Valley Dog Fanciers. Puyallup is a collection of syllables that to an English speaker don’t seem to belong in the same word. From their tribal pamphlet, “The Puyallup Indians have lived along the shores of Puget Sound for thousands of years. In our native language we were known as S’Puyalupubsh, meaning ‘generous and welcoming behavior to all people (friends and strangers) who enter our lands.’” The Puyallup Indians were forcibly relocated onto reservations in 1854, after signing the Treaty of Medicine Creek. Monday, Tacoma Kennel Club. “Tacoma” is originally “Tahoma,” a Pacific Northwest Indian tribe. Their language is Lushootseed Salish, spoken by more than a dozen small Puget Sound Salish tribes (including the Skagit, Swinomish, Snohomish/Tulalip, Sauk-Suiattle, Duwamish, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Puyallup, Sahewamish, Skykomish, Snoqualmie, Suquamish, Stillaguamish, and Squaxin tribes.) Unfortunately, some of these dialects are no longer spoken today. All told only a few dozen elders are still fluent in Lushootseed, but some younger people are working to keep their ancestral language alive. Tacoma means “that frozen water” which was very apt considering the below freezing temperatures of the weekend. All this makes me very curious about the dog breeds of American Indians. Were the natives breeders of canines? They had loads to pull and grounds to guard; yet my high school history book has nothing about whether or not they used dogs to help them. On Sunday, two women walked by with their Black Russian Terrier, speaking animatedly in Russian. They Continued on page 142

were followed by two other women with Russian Toy Dogs, a reminder that there are many immigrants to this area, Hawaiian, Asian, Mexican and others. Back at Ring 5, judge Claudia Orlandi called out to her steward, “Tom, I need my stuff!” She was searching for the Best of Opp and Best of Winners ribbons, while the steward was busy supervising cleanup from a Dachshund who took an untimely dump in the middle of the down and back. An unusual number of dogs decided to relieve themselves inside the building, very unusual for show dogs who know the drill and are accustomed to the ex-pens and quick walks. But it was the biting cold, continuing snow, and icy sidewalks that made it uncomfortable for man or beast to stay outdoors very long. Another plus for the circuit was the appearance of three rarely-seen breeds for the Miscellaneous Classes: Cirneco Dell’Etnas, Portuguese Podengo Pequinos and Pumik. Canine diversity pushes the envelope even further with these three. The appearance of each breed is so distinctly different from any other AKC breed. Judge Lois Sanford had her Best in Group winning Cirnecos make a turn of honor around the ring so everyone could get a good view of the breed with owner Nancy Lee Wight, who had traveled from her Idaho horse ranch to be here. The Puyallup Valley Dog Fanciers had the second day. It was a special day for me because I was judging the Hound Group for the first time. As hound after hound came up to my corner of the ring, I wished I could apologize for examining each one with frozen hands. The Whippet, Greyhound and Smooth Dachshund gave me looks which would translate as, “Are you kidding? Get those icicles off me!” But wind was whipping outside and the door kept opening and sending through an icy blast. I was jealous of the announcer, who got to pause and shrug into a warm overcoat. I knew AKC rep John Wade was watching and he would not have to pull out his handbook to know there was no exception made for a group judge to stop and yank on gloves while working. My hound group winner was the brave Greyhound Ch. Helios Foxglove At Heart and second the amazing Harrier, Ch. Downhome Hi-Tech Innovator. Whenever the Harrier, Chet, wins the Hound group, I always wonder if other breeders are puzzled. Chet represents the best of his standard but it is a standard that is surely mysterious because of its insistence on absolutely straight pasterns. Here is the wording: “…inclined to knuckle over very slightly but not exaggerated in the slightest degree.” “Inclined to knuckle over!!!” Knuckling over is a serious fault in almost every other breed! Probably most breeds take the view of the Labrador Retriever standard: “Pasterns should be strong and short and should slope slightly from the perpendicular line of the leg.” If you are a Basset or a Dachshund, knuckling over is a DISQUALIFICATION! Yet here is the Harrier standard, proudly asking for a dog who is inclined to knuckle over. And Chet surely does. It is a wonderful thing to watch this dog move, every foot in line, perfect cadence, not an ounce of wasted motion. I mentioned these things to terrier man and handler Robert Paust who was sitting ringside on Monday. He once had in his care the famous Harriers Jack and Jill. He said that his mentor had told him to keep in mind that the Harrier is a walking breed, meaning that the hunters walk behind the hounds. Perhaps that straight pastern keeps them slower, the same way the Whippet’s ultra-flexible pastern makes him speedy. On Sunday, Best in Show judge Norman Patton picked the Standard Poodle, Ch. Brighton Lakeridge Encore. Her handler is Taffee McFadden, who stepped in for regular handler Tim Brazier when he needed bypass surgery. Owners are Toni & Martin Sosnoff.

Joan Zielinski is a very active member of the Puyallup club and put on terrific breed seminars for aspiring judges. Joan lined up Newfoundlands, Great Danes, Alaskan Malamutes and Boerbels while her husband, Stan Zielinski, organized Hounds and Paula Dempsey, Sporting. Because they had such a large entry, the attendees got to study some beautiful dogs on Saturday. Things were a little different on Sunday because TV’s and radios were blasting a worrying message: snow is on the way. Lots of snow. Possibly more snow than Washington has seen since the 2006 snowstorm. Later, the message was changed to, “Possibly more snow than we’ve seen since 1946!” That news resulted in a lot of absentees, which was a shame, because the snow at Puyallup was just one or two messy inches. In the Saint Bernard ring, a beautiful bitch powered in to compete for Best of Breed, accompanied by a very nervous guy. The bitch seemed to be a dog show veteran, but she just could not get the handler to settle down. She showed me the giant head, bone and sound gait that took her through to the breed win. When the ribbon was handed over, there was a slight pause from the crowd, then quite enthusiastic cheering and applause. My impression was that they were startled that the judge could find the nice bitch in spite of the exhibitor’s worried handling. When he came to take a photo, I asked him, “Why were you so nervous?” “Because I had to move my car 30 seconds before I came in the ring and my wife usually shows the dog but she’s not here!” he exclaimed. The results on the Baray Superintendent’s website shows the dog is GCH. Winter’s Brooks & Dunn V Vicdory WP owned by Dana & Celeste Gregory. Jennie Hibbert drove 12 hours a from Sun City, Idaho to Puyallup, Washington to show her Basset Hound, Bassjoy Night Temptation, to Claudia Orlandi. It was worth the trip. Puddles won Winners Dog! Jennie was overjoyed. It was only Jennie’s second dog show, and her first showing Puddles, who is an Italian import. Jennie chose him carefully from the top Italian kennel of show Bassets, after first purchasing beautiful dogs from the U.S., Poland and Slovakia. Jennie tried many times to purchase a show dog from American breeders, who either wouldn’t sell her a dog or would only sell on limited registration (meaning you can neither show nor breed) or wanted a complicated contract or to tie her up as a co-owner. She wisely went overseas. The foreign dogs are just as beautiful and come with no strings attached. People in many breeds tell the same story.

he Monday show, Tacoma Kennel Club, had judge Bernadette Cox awarding Best to the English Setter, Ch. Oakley’s B’Dazzled. It was the second BIS of the new year for Dazzle and handler Bruce Schultz. The storm was saving itself for Wednesday, when it dumped over a foot of snow in one day on an area that generally receives about four inches of snow a year. Heavy snow and ice caused a mess of fallen trees, leaving thousands of Washingtonians without electricity. It caused the roof of an Allied Ice plant building to collapse. Interstate 5, the main road connecting Seattle and Portland, was closed so crews could remove jumbled power lines. Amtrak trains weren’t running because of debris on the tracks. Alaska Airlines canceled 38 flights into and out of Seattle and Portland. But those of us in the dog world were mostly fine, except those trying to get to the Mt. Rainier Working Dog Club and Oregon Terrier Association Specialty shows on Wednesday. They faced snow, ice and rain-slicked roads. In the old days, Wednesday was not a show day. Most people were home and safe by then.

THE FANCY SPEAKS

Breeding the Perfect Dog Continued FROM page 62

tried to help him by asking him where he lost it. He pointed over there under the trees where there was no light. When asked why he was searching in this place when he knew the object was “over there”, he replied “this is where the light is”. We have so much to learn about the genome of the dog. A healthy ideal is somewhere over there under the trees, we will not find it by only using the light of the few tests we have now. Just because we have a test for something at the present time does not mean this is the most important genetic challenge our breed faces. By eliminating dogs that have valuable contributions to make to the gene pool we may very easily increase the instances of lethal diseases that had been insignificant previously. At least one breed tried to eradicate PRA within a few generations and found they now had a much more serious disease to contend with. Geneticists estimate every dog carries at least four potentially lethal genes in their genome. So there are a great many genes for serious and fatal diseases rattling around the dog genome. With a single gene disease like PRA, we just need at least one of the two versions of the gene the dogs get from their parents is the healthy version. With a disease such as hip dysplasia which is controlled by multiple genes, we still don’t know what pattern of “good” and “bad” genes causes the specific things that can go wrong with hips. The structure of the head of the femur is controlled by different genes than are responsible for laxity in the joint. But both will be called hip dysplasia. A dog may still have a high percentage of “good” genes and still fail the test. The frequency of the lethal genes in the gene

pool is increased by removing whole classes of dogs based on one test or evaluation. These dogs may fail one genetic test but probably may be a source of healthy copies of the genes of other diseases we can’t yet test for. If we lose enough of these good genes we will have these nasty diseases surface. I said I’d come back with some evidence. Hard facts about hereditary disease are hard to come by, especially in a small breed. The OFA has only a small amount of evaluations of elbows, patellas and Legg-Calve-Perthes but the instance of abnormal ranges from .8% to 5.7%. The instance of hip displasia is 9.7% based upon a sample of more than 100. Hardly “rampant”. I have yet to see an Eskie incapacitated by hip dysplasia. This is not a large breed that carries a great deal of weight.

146 Dog News

(Performance events could put more stress on hips and therefore reveal a disability so that may account for some of the differences in perception.) But there is controversy as to what hip tests actually evaluate. There are many genes involved and different ways of being labeled dysplastic. And as an aside, the German Sheherd has been testing for many generations yet their abnormal rate is 19%. The OFA stats for PRA are inconclusive. There were 35 evaluations with 77% listed as normal and 0 as abnormal. I don’t know how to interpret this. Perhaps we have 23% carriers. We have a late onset PRA prcd that we’ve had a genetic test for several years now. It is supposedly an autosomal recessive disease but many of us who have been breeding for many years have had dogs who tested affected but who died of old age without contracting the disease. This is another instance where things are not as simple as they seem. The test we have now does not tell the whole story. Breeding this wonderful breed is very close to my heart. And the article seems to imply Eskie breeders are not concerned with health issues. As a breeder, I’d like to stand up for the breeders who I personally know are responsible and make good decisions with health considerations in mind. The conformation show world of Eskies is small and I personally know a majority of conformation breeders. The persons quoted are performance oriented so perhaps we see a different selection of breeders. In closing, Health is an important part of what we are breeding for but we must not lose sight of our other goals. A dog must be able to perform the tasks for which it was selectively bred. It must look like the breed. I would characterize the goals I strive for as breed type, soundness, temperament and health. Not necessarily in that order, but all four must be present to produce a good example of the breed. Testing is a tool and we must as breeders be smart in the way we use these tools. It is important to understand how valuable genes can be preserved and unhealthy ones gotten under control over time. And that there is more we don’t know about genetic diseases than we do know. The American Eskimo Dog Club of America is in the process of putting together a survey to be located at the OFA website. More details will be forthcoming and I urge all Eskie folks to participate so we can soon determine the actual state of health of our breed.

Letters ToThe Editor

AN UNHAPPY JUDGE I was stunned to see that Dog News would publish such an article as the “Judging Should Be A Public Service” article by Patricia Gail Burnham, which was such a slap in the face to judges who have been professional handlers! I am not interested in delving into the age-old debate of whether or not handlers get more breeds than breeders, nor whether or not there are too many dog shows. However, I am highly insulted that this woman would insinuate (no, downright state it with certainty) that judging is a “retirement program for aged out handlers”. First, let me say that I have been judging for almost 20 years, and I do not know a single judge who can earn a living judging dog shows. Consider the fact that a judge (yes, even those who charge a fee) gets paid only for the days they judge, which does not include travel days to and from a show. For example, you travel cross country for a one day show, & get paid for 1 of the 3 days. I find that the most prolific judges are highly regarded by the dog fancy who respect their opinions, and thus, they get hired a lot. Show chairpersons want to hire judges that their exhibitors wish to show to, thus, drawing a bigger entry. My personal experience has been that every show that I have judged has several provisionals on the panel. If you want more assignments, become a better judge. I seriously object to Ms. Burnham’s insinuation that paid judges care less, or are less qualified, than those who are not paid. In order for these people to have been approved for so many breeds, they have obviously spent many years of their lives showing, breeding & judging dog shows. They miss many family functions, schlep luggage through miles of airport terminals, deal with missed meals, cancelled flights, hours in seminars, etc. etc. -all for the LOVE of DOGS and dog shows!! Peggy Lloyd Round Top, TX PROTESTITH TOO MUCH?? I was forwarded some paragraphs that were reportedly written by you (copy below; no byline included). If they refer to me, as they must do since no other past dog magazine publisher has recently agreed to act as an AKC Delegate, some of your statements are inaccurate. I trust you will print this response. You refer to “a person who for oh so many years has solicited ads for a dog magazine of which he was publisher.” This does not apply to me. When we published Dogs in Review (1997-2003) I was not involved in the ad department. It has always been the editorials that I was in charge of. We had others who dealt with the ads. When we sold the magazine to BowTie Inc., America’s leading distributor and publisher of magazines and books on pets, I was retained first as Editor, then as a consultant with the title of Editor-at-Large, and remain so to this day, more than eight years later. This means, obviously, that I contribute to the editorial content. I have nothing to do with the ads; I don’t even see them until the magazine appears in my mailbox, the same as everyone else. The fact that I do not solicit ads, and that I am no longer involved as a publisher of any magazine, was explained to and accepted by the people in charge at AKC when I was approved as an AKC judge. It’s no different than e.g. professional handlers and AKC employees whose situation changes as they quit their old jobs and are therefore eligible to judge. The thought that my “very name” would “conjure up” a magazine that would result in ad sales is quite funny. Wouldn’t it be nice to have that kind of persuasive power! In any case, I don’t see how this would affect my eligibility for being either a judge or a delegate. If the conflicts you mentioned existed AKC would not have authorized me to judge. Since the eligility (sic) for being

Editor for Channel 4 Documentaries Anna Miralis says: “Crufts is an extremely popular event, with a loyal audience that looks forward to coverage on More4. We intend to deliver the same fresh and exciting format that celebrates Britain’s love affair with its favourite pet, the dog, that has proved such a hit for viewers. We will continue to explore the issues surrounding dog welfare and to promote an understanding of how to improve the health and lives of all dogs.” Clare Balding, who will be presenting the show, says: “I look forward to Crufts every year, an event which holds a special place in the nation’s heart. The combination of insightful interviews, live programming and the huge variety of dog competitions and issues that are featured make it must-see television, as the viewing figures prove year on year.” Caroline Kisko, Secretary of the Kennel Club, which organises the event says: “Crufts is a key event in any dog lovers’ calendar and More4’s coverage always captures the heart of the event, which is a celebration of the special relationship between man and his dog. The programme will feature everything that makes Crufts such a great event, including the hero dogs competition, Friends for Life, dog agility, and of course Best in Show. More4’s coverage also raises important issues surrounding breeding, buying, training and caring for dogs that help dogs to lead healthy, happy lives.” More4’s Crufts coverage will be produced by Sunset + Vine. Watch live on Youtube! The Kennel Club, organiser of Crufts is also working with Sunset + Vine and YouTube to ensure that there is live streaming of the event from the moment that show opens to the time it closes on the internet. The free to view live coverage will include all of the action from the Arena, which will include Best in Show, the Friends for Life final and agility displays. There will also be video clips featuring highlights from around the show and archive footage from video clips stretching back to the 1980s. These will run alongside exclusive videos from recent Kennel Club events such as the Discover Dogs show at Earls Court in London. All of the live, archive footage and catch up service is free to view on YouTube and dog lovers can subscribe in advance for updates and the ability to rate and share videos social networks. Visit www.youtube.com/crufts. Laura Quickfall London, England NOTE TO RONNIE IRVING Your article on the varying breed standards as reflected in International competition is thought provoking, sure to become more of an issue as time goes on. Your mention of Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers prompts this note. I hope that everyone is aware of the fact that the American standard was based on the Irish (country of origin) standard, and was quite similar to that Standard, until the Irish changed their standard, and European countries followed suit. Therefore the American standard is very faithful to the original in description of type. European breeders have changed their standard to better conform to the dogs they are breeding...taller, longer, higher of hock. That original Irish standard better described a dog capable of its function as an all around farm dog. Jackie Gottlieb Sedona, AZ
