THE REVERBERATIONS GO ON Board members can get overseas assignments or their friends Certainly the debate has sharpened as to how much AKC knew before can—when are we going to redirect the emphasis in judging the Times attack and how it handled itself after as well. Last week on the ability of the person to perform as a judge and not upon Dog News printed an NAIA version of an answer to the attack and this what gains Board members can get in these situations? And the week is printed the AKC answer as prepared under the supervision Board has extended the foreign judge who can adjudicate here of Board Chairman Alan Kalter, as well as President and CEO Dennis from the CACIB judge of the FCI status to the CAC status of the Sprung’s letter to the NY Times. The fact that these attacks on AKC national judge. That’s somewhat of a slap to the FCI and opens from the national media occur periodically cannot be denied. Indeed the door tremendously to the judges from China particularly for the same weekend as the NYT’s attack the Los Angles Times ran a the kennel club recognized by AKC. It should open the doors similar type article. The reason for these kinds of reportage run deep as well to many South American and Mexican judges as well as in our social structure and are frequently agenda pushed by the animal Canadian judges too--just what we need, you think? rights organizations. Certainly the success of the last several years in pushing the adoption of dogs into a more acceptable way of getting a THE BOARD ELECTIONS pet is an example of a well laid foundation prepared by the humane With four seats open it makes the entire process difficult societies and a food company or two anxious to make a buck to analyze for us. Finding three people with from the situation. Throughout this period of time proper Board experience and knowand particularly when Pedigree led the way using how is tough enough but how do Westminster as its unwitting and unwilling source you find four of them? What of sponsorship the signs were on the wall as to these pages like best which what was going on. Note Westminster ended does not seem to have gathered that relationship as soon as it was legally able! any steam is Alan Kalter’s However where was and today what has AKC proposal that the entire Board formulated in terms of publicity campaigns to be elected every four years instead FEBRUARY 22, 2013 answer so many of these fallacious ideas promoted by of having to go through the motions of animal rightists and accepted by certain elements within the annual elections which disturb the ability of journalistic community and the veterinary community as well? It is the Board to properly function and cut the work year almost absolutely 100% necessary to get our message and the true message in half if not more. This probably is too practical a step for out to the American public lest our reputation be totally destroyed by the Delegates to consider and approve but an idea well worth those out to get those who breed dogs. One of the major advantages exploring. We have not officially seen the letters being sent to of having Alan Kalter serve as Board Chairman is and was his expertise the Delegates from the Candidates but a few have been sent in the advertising and PR areas. True, he cannot act individually as to us by those wanting to keep these pages abreast of what he is accountable to a split Board and a Delegate Body difficult if not is going on. Based on some of them no wonder they were not impossible to define. Nonetheless one would have expected public sent to us--photos of happenings as though they are high school attempts to the constituency by him and to have created a program popularity contests. As usual these pages will not make any to fight these people and their agenda. It’s still not too late to do just endorsements for at least two reasons-number one we cannot that but based upon his quotes to DOG NEWS in the last issue of this find four people for whom to suggest you should vote and those magazine his reasoning and statements seemed reactive and not the these pages would endorse would no doubt hurt the chances least bit pro-active. It’s way past time for this Board and its Members of those running. What we would suggest is that you check out to become pro-active in this fight against the animal rightists and not the facts of what some of these people are saying or not saying sit back and react to each given situation. about their backgrounds and ask yourself what makes you think you have earned the privilege of sitting on the Board of a $60 THE BOARD MEETING million dollar business--just a thought! Still the Board Minutes have not yet been posted-the posting it is understood is due February 19th close to two weeks after the meeting. THE LOWER ENTRY BREED QUANDARY True it is Board Highlights have been released some of which were The decision of the Board that a Permit judge (the old Provisional discussed last week but these pages find that those Highlights tend one would presume) be observed was eased such that after 6 to gloss over the real meat of the meetings. In the Highlights there is assignments and a Permit judge has not been observed a Field a reference to changes made with regard to the foreign judge coming Rep the judge will be advanced to regular status. That begs the to adjudicate here. Based on what was presented in the Highlights question of what the prospective judge may or may not know it sounds to these pages as though those judge/directors who are about the breed much less how interested they are in the breed. frequently invited to judge overseas will get their wishes for even more Why is the ease of these matters confined to the breed status assignments in foreign lands. Granted the wording is confusing and only--if after 6 assignments let the person be treated as though the foreign judge may still buy for $25 after taking an open book test they have the breed--asterisk their name which-is now so de breeds recognized here but not in their own country and get a group rigueur--advance them to be allowed to do the group-after all to boot but the foreign judge is extended privileges denied American the foreign judge is getting such treatment now but hold off judges totally!! It would appear that a foreign judge who has only three actually awarding the breed until they are observed and okayed. or four breeds in his own country can now judge a group here if those Stop treating the lower breed entry dogs as though they are not breeds total 80% or more of the total entry in America for that group the equal to the heavy entry bred dogs!!!! year before! In other words take the Non-Sporting Group--if the foreign judge has Poodles, Dalmatians, Bichons, Frenchies and Bulldogs and THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK those breeds total 80% or more of the total entry he or she can now judge Of late the problem keeps getting raised as to when a dog should a group here!!! Is that fair to the American judge one must emphatically be put to sleep. One vet used the 60 percent rule-were half of the ask. Look at what an American judge has to go through here to get dog’s days happy? Unfortunately the weighing of life just as with the other breeds. And as importantly how fair is this to the breeders humans is a very difficult if not impossible thing to do. As dogs and exhibitors of the other breeds--allowing people with no background become more and more family members the problem becomes whatsoever to adjudicate upon their breed of dog. What are these pages more and more complicated. There are hospice vets available missing one must ask. Why are the smaller entry breeds being treated for this kind of countenance but ultimately the decision is yours more and more as second-class citizens by the Board of Directors of the to make--try not to overcompensate to the dogs’ detriment are AKC? Why are American judges being discriminated against? So a few our thoughts in this very sad matter.

IRVING’s ImpRessIoNs
By Ronnie Irving
WESTMINSTER AND CRUFTS – COMPARE AND CONTRAST It is said that comparisons are odious and Shakespeare even went as far as to say that they were odorous! However as we have just seen the 2013 Westminster Kennel Club Show come and go, and we can now see Crufts Show appearing over the horizon in March, I thought it might be interesting to compare and contrast the two events despite the inherent dangers of doing so. In one major respect the two shows are very similar to one another. That’s in the area of ‘brand recognition’. The names ‘Westminster’ and ‘Crufts’ are very well known by the general pubic at large, by the respective national media and also by the dog fancy in the USA and the UK respectively. The place that they have in the psyche of their home countries is unique. There is no doubt that for most ‘John Doe’ Americans, Westminster is synonymous with dog shows. Equally for most ‘Joe Public’ Brits, Crufts has the same reputation. Westminster ‘equals’ dog shows in the USA and Crufts ‘equals’ dog shows in the UK. Both events have a mystique about them that has turned them into national institutions. Most members of the general public don’t even realise, or at least certainly never think, that there is a whole hinterland of dog events lying behind these two prestige shows. For many people Westminster and Crufts are the only dog shows they have ever heard of.
LOOKING AT THE TOP FIFTEEN BREED ENTRIES AT WESTMINSTER, THESE ARE IN ORDER • 1st - *Golden Retrievers (61) 1st - *Golden Retrievers (61) • 2nd - *Labrador Retrievers (54) 2nd - *Labrador Retrievers (54) • 3rd - Rhodesian Ridgebacks (50) Rhodesian Ridgebacks (50) 3rd - • 4th - French Bulldogs (46) 4th - French Bulldogs (46) • 5th - Australian Shepherds (43) 5th - Australian Shepherds (43) • 6th - Chinese Cresteds (40) 6th - Chinese Cresteds (40) • 7th – German Short Haired Pointers (39) 7th – German Short Haired Pointers (39) • 8th - equal Boston Terriers (34), 8th - equal Boston Terriers (34), • 8th *Pugs (34), *Pugs (34), • 8th *Cavalier King Charles (34) *Cavalier King Charles (34) • 11th equal Smooth Coated Chihuahuas (33) & Smooth Coated Chihuahuas (33) & • 11th Samoyeds (33) Samoyeds (33) • 13th Borzois 29 Borzois 29 • 14th equal *Whippets (27), 14th equal *Whippets (27), *Flat Coated Retrievers (27), & *Flat Coated Retrievers (27), & Smooth Haired Dachshunds (27)
SIMILARITIES As well as in the field of brand recognition, there are one or two other areas where the shows have similarities. Each of them has a long history. In the case of Westminster this goes back to 1877 and for Crufts to 1891, though Charles Cruft its founder had already been running his ‘Great Terrier Shows’ for a number of years before that. Another similarity is that, because of space restrictions and probably also to maintain an aura of ‘exclusivity’, each show demands a certain level of wins from all dogs before they are allowed to be entered. Other similarities are, arguably, that neither of the two shows has been nearly as ‘international’ in its outlook as some of the shows on the Continent of Europe. Both of them are now however changing in that respect, and for Crufts that has mainly been brought about since the UK’s very strict quarantine laws were significantly relaxed in 2001. Today just over ten percent of the Crufts entries (this year 2,131 foreign dogs) come from outside the UK. In the case of Westminster the equivalent percentage is just over four per cent with three percent of them from Canada (117 foreign entries with Canada at 104.) Both shows are benched, but then of course every one of the all-breed championship shows in the UK are also benched, so this is not so unusual in the UK as it is in the USA nowadays.
• 1st - *Labrador Retrievers (490) 1st - *Labrador Retrievers (490) • 2nd - *Golden Retrievers (454) 2nd - *Golden Retrievers (454) • 3rd – *Whippets (416) 3rd – *Whippets (416) • 4th - 4th - Border Border Collies (379) Collies (379) • 5th - Cocker Spaniels (English of course!)

Beagles (255).
SIZE – THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE Perhaps the biggest difference between the two shows is that of size. Westminster this year, despite having migrated its breed rings to the Piers and having slightly relaxed its entry qualifications, had a total entry of 2,721 dogs while the Crufts entry, despite a fall of 2.2%, has come in at 20,566.
The contrasts here are staggering with perhaps Shetland Sheepdogs at 293 dogs at Crufts and only 14 at Westminster and my own breed Border Terriers with 274 at Crufts and only 13 at Westminster, being among the most noticeable.
THE TOP FIFTEEN AT CRUFTS THIS yEAR WILL BE AS FOLLOWS (I(I have marked with an asterisk * those six breeds that are common have marked with an asterisk * those six breeds that are common to the two top fifteen league tables.)

onnie’s omments There has been enough said about the 2013 Westminster Kennel Club show to fill a small book. It would be remiss, however, not to make some comments about the new layout and production of this year’s show. Despite dire predictions, and due to the creative management by Westminster members, superintendent and outside experts on crowd control and planning, the show was a success. From the dogs’ point of view it must have been bliss. Wide corridors, grooming by the rings, plenty of daylight streaming through the two enclosed Hudson River Piers, comfortable climate for the dogs. What more could they ask? For the people, all the above applies, as well. No question, though, that comfortable shoes are a must, a course in physical fitness to walk or run from one Pier to another, more ringside seating and more food concessions would have made the venue perfect. Chartered bus service from the main hotels used by exhibitors and spectators, was fast and easy. Even the Mayor of New York cooperated in whisking the traditional February snow off the streets in record time. Many of us remember the piles of snowdrifts clogging the avenues and making side streets impassable. We recall being holed up in the Hotel Pennsylvania for days, when the food ran out and no one could extricate their cars from the garages. It’s a different world now. Madison Square Garden, where the Groups and Best in Show were held, along with the evening benefit for Take The Lead, is still under construction behind the scenes, but I would be surprised if the show would go back to the crowded benches of this venue. It is so amazing that New York City (meaning Manhattan) does not have another forum for events like this. One would have thought that when the JAVITS Center was built someone would have insisted on including an arena, as well as decent parking. But, as the saying goes, “They didn’t ask me.” It was probably the strongest line-up for Best in Show that I have seen in years. The arena was filled on the final night and the crowd was enthusiastic and roaring for its favorites. The Group judges sent a fine line-up for Best, and the Affenpinscher was a deserving winner over worthy competitors. Breeders of that small breed had better prepare themselves for an onslaught of puppy mill Affies to appear, unless they are careful. On to other things. In case you have been in outer space, or totally disinterested in AKC affairs, there will be a contested election for the Board of Directors next month. For what it is worth, here is this writer’s choice, in alphabetical order of the candidates running for office. Since I am no longer a Delegate, but an informed member of the community, you can feel free to ignore these feelings. For the Class of 2017, I would vote for Lee Arnold. He has been an active club member of three clubs. He has been a breeder of Shar Pei and is currently Chair of the AKC Canine Health Foundation. His work for the Foundation provides an important link to the AKC Board. Until retirement, he was an ac18 Dog News

tive Broadcaster on both radio and TV, with useful ties to the public relations community. Alan Kalter, present Chair of the AKC Board of Directors, has spent his professional life in advertising and public relations. As the Chair of a multi-national corporation his experience as a business executive equips him well to guide AKC for the next four years. Many of his ideas are just now being implemented and he deserves to remain on the Board to bring his vision for AKC into fruition. He and his wife are active breeders and exhibitors of Bullmastiffs. Gail LaBerge brings a much needed focus to an area which affects all purebred dog owners. She is a registered lobbyist, who works on canine legislation on a daily basis. We need one of our own to represent us most effectively in Congress. The last AKC Board member who lobbied for us in Congress was the late Jim Holt. He was most effective in Washington and diligent on keeping the Board and Delegates informed about legislation affecting our interests on a national level. (I am aware that AKC has (or had) a professional lobbyist in DC, but we seldom hear the results of his labors.) Gail is also active in conformation, obedience, Field Trials, Earth Dog and Tracking events as an active participant in all those venues with her Standard Wirehaired Dachshunds and Cardigan Welsh Corgis. Harvey Wooding is a relatively new Delegate, but deeply involved in both Field and Conformation. He has been an executive in sales and marketing and currently runs his own business. He is active in his Parent Club, the English Setter Club of America and in the Westminster Kennel Club. He is a Board member of the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals (OFA) and runs his dogs in field and hunt tests. This is an area much needed on the Board at this time. There is no one on the current Board with any experience in the field, even though the Hunt Test program is one of AKC’s most successful endeavors. I urge all Delegates to bring their informed opinions to their clubs. Delegates have the best access to the facts about all the candidates. If you are representative of a club that gives its Delegate free rein to vote as they please, take advantage of that. If your club Board of Directors insists on having a say, give it your best opinion, based on the facts as you have learned them, through personal contact, reading their letters, studying the profiles gathered for you in the February 8th issue of Dog News. This will be an important election. Use your votes wisely. If you only attend one meeting a year, this should be the one.
THERE’S ONLY ONE…

How do you handle the problem of deciding when and if to put your dog to sleep? Kim meredith-Cavanna I am not sure I should be answering this question. I started to get teary eyed even reading the question. My dogs are my house dogs and constant companions. When I lose one, part of me goes with them. I take it very hard. Deciding when to “let go” is different for everyone. I just had to let my 12 year-old Alaskan Malamute female go to the bridge due to cancer. She had two breasts removed, surgery on her foot after it moved there; plus chemo. I tried everything I could, and always do. I know that I got another year with her that I would not have had. We went to the beach often that she loved, and I smiled each and every extra day I had with her. I have always fought it to the bitter end (well, me and my VISA).
deborah Cooper This is the most dreaded question to true dog people and a decision that never gets easier no matter how many dogs we have, or how long we have been in dogs. Key to this decision is to NOT be selfish and not keep your canine companion and family member alive for yourself, but measure your dog’s quality of life. When bad days out number good days, it is time to say goodbye. When your dog can no longer do the things he/she loves to do, and survive with dignity, it is time to say goodbye. Always remember, you owe our dog the consideration and opportunity to leave you knowing he/ she is loved by you and to leave with dignity. Do not wait too long. It is not fair to the dog who did nothing but show you love and compassion for his/her whole life.

BRAIN WASHED??
I
keep comIng back to how much better I remember things that happened 20-50 years ago in my life, than what happened 15 minutes ago! Those who know me also know that I often wished there was a 5 second delay from a thought being formed in my head until it escaped my mouth! For obvious reasons!! What I really would like nowadays when there are questions coming up, I know I know the answer, is a fast forward of the thought process - it does eventually come up, but it takes forever... So I would never do well on Jeopardy, which really frustrates me! There is no doubt that things we experienced -of any importance- in our early lives stay with us forever-and that includes in my case- the way dogs were judged and the attitude projected by the judges. We had normally for the British breeds, British judges- who of course normally were polite and rather gentle. For the German and many of the Continental breeds, we had German or Continental judges- and they had a tendency to be very strict and more or less gave the impression they were looking for faults rather than virtues. Maybe the breeds involved at that time were in need of severe and honest critiques to be able to improve and move forward, but many of the breed clubs adopted the same strict, rather negative attitude, which in my opinion was destructive, not constructive and encouraging, which I today think would have been a better choice.

I remember a lovely Rottweiler bitch, by far the best in the country at the time. She had one obvious fault: 1 missing premolar. Under any all rounder or not teeth-counting judge she won a lot, but under the German or any breed specialist, she was normally awarded Second in Quality, which meant that she was not eligible for further competition... Because of this one missing tooth , despite all her other virtues, she was banned from breeding. Her owner would still be able to register the puppies with the Kennel Club, but would be expelled from the breed club- and if expelled from any affiliated breed club-banned from taking part in any kennel club approved activities… So the owner decided to follow the club’s instructions- as being outlawed was not a very attractive alternative… Another friend of mine was showing a German Shepherd bitch which did a lot of winning, not least due to her outstanding movement! She amassed a number of Certificates, but to claim the title of Champion, you needed a clear HD certificate. One of her hips was found to be “inconclusive”-in other words a borderline caseso she never became a champion- and could never have a litter of puppies. I believe she lived- and moved without problems – as a working police dog till the age of 11 or 12! We did not really question any of these rules at the time- as that was the way things were. I was showing a number of Giant Schnauzers in those days- and if you know anything about how their coats develop (at least in certain lines), you are aware of the fact that during their puppy and junior stages, the best black coats often have a lot of white “stickelhaar”- and although we spent

The AKC
Speaks
By James P. Crowley, Alan Kalter and DennisSprung
T
here have been a number of quesTions raised on The Delegate list regarding the adequacy of the AKC response to the negative article in the New York Times. The letter below has been prepared by the AKC Communications Department, at the request of the Chairman, to address some of those concerns. Dear Delegates, The email below was a first step in a planned, strategic response crafted in conjunction with our PR firm. It was important to get the facts out quickly to a wide audience to combat the biased reporting in the New York Times and to encourage people to post in the comments section on their website before the comments section was closed. The email was sent to the widest possible email distribution which included the Delegates, all club officers, (10,500) and AKC registrants, including 1.4 million of the general public, for a total of nearly 1.7 million emails. The Times closed comments when it reached 375 comments, so getting out the email with our rebuttal to the fancy and the public within 24 hours of the story appearing online and the same day of publication in the print edition, Sunday, Feb. 10 was critical. In fact, one of the NYT’s “pick” of the comments included a link to our email. We are working to provide the NYT with our response to the article within the parameters the paper offers for rebuttal. For example, one avenue would be a Letter to the Editor, with the following guidelines: Letters to the editor should only be sent to The Times, and not to other publications. We do not publish open letters or thirdparty letters.

february 10, 2013 dear fellow dog Lover, The New York Times published an article using unsubstantiated, anecdotal episodes to paint a grossly misleading and biased picture of dog breeders who register their dogs and litters with the AKC. In addition, they relied on opinions of other animal rights organizations, without facts to back them up, in an attempt to refute the AKC’s good working relationship with law enforcement, animal control officers, lawmakers and others who care about animal welfare and reporting animal cruelty. aKC respected as an animal Welfare organization The article states, “But the A.K.C. is increasingly finding itself ostracized in the dog world, in the cross hairs of animal protection services, law enforcement agencies and lawmakers who say that the club is lax in performing inspections and that it often lobbies against basic animal rights bills because they could cut into dog registration fees.” • The truth is the vast majority of breeders are responsible; in fact, over 99% of the 55,000 that the AKC has inspected since 2000, have been found to be in compliance. When AKC does discover substandard conditions, our policies require that we immediately report them to local, state and federal officials. • AKC has a productive, working relationship with local animal controls, state and local law enforcement, state departments of agriculture throughout the country, as well as the USDA, and works cooperatively with all of those agencies to ensure the enforcement of cruelty and neglect laws, as well as the provisions of the federal Animal Welfare Act. • In fact, in many instances, the highly publicized raids for which animal rights groups take credit in the media have come about as a direct result of AKC’s reporting to law enforcement. • AKC is well respected by lawmakers who consider us credible experts on dog issues, and rely on our thoughtful and considered advice when it comes to legislation that will impact dogs and their breeders and owners. misguided opinions versus facts The article also quotes ASPCA President and CEO Ed Sayres who says “a majority of the commercial breeders in the raids that his group participated in had ties to A.K.C.-registered litters.” But, there is no proof or numbers given to back up this charge. He goes on to state “The irony to the consumer is that they’re paying a lot for a fake Rolex.” and that he thinks “dogs are often genetically compromised and come from traumatic environments.” Both of these statements are opinions that were printed erroneously as fact. The ASPCA has a history of such tactics. Recently they reached a legal settlement with Feld Entertainment, Inc., the producer of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, agreeing to pay Feld $9.3 million to settle all claims related to ASPCA’s part in more than a decade of manufactured litigation brought by animal rights interest groups that attempted to outlaw elephants in the company’s Ringling Bros. Circus. This settlement applies only to the ASPCA. Feld Entertainment’s lawsuit, including its claims for litigation abuse and racketeering (RICO), continues against the remaining defendants, the Humane Society of the United States, the Fund for Animals, Animal Welfare Institute, Born Free USA united with Animal Protection Institute, Tom Rider and the attorneys who were involved. Discovery in the initial lawsuit uncovered over $190,000 that these animal activist groups and their lawyers paid to Tom Rider who lived off of the money while serving as the “injured plaintiff” in the lawsuit against the circus.

The Best Laid Plans of Mice and Men ... The plans for my Trip To WesTminsTer were all in place and i was looking forward to it enormously. after attending what many agreed was the best pup of the year competition ever i drove south to Birmingham where i was overnighting in readiness for
40 Dog News
a 6 a.m. flight to amsterdam, then taking a connection on to new york. When we were at Crewe hall i had received a few messages telling me of anticipated blizzard conditions in the Big apple and had warned frank Kane and mike Gadsby, both of whom were flying off to Westminster on the friday, that we could be in for some travel disruption. They however were flying direct from manchester.
Once in Birmingham i tried tO get as much information as possible on the weather in New York and it did not look good. I managed to check in online for my flights but via various airline websites I noticed that flights to NY were being cancelled right, left and centre. I was notified that my flight from Amsterdam to New York had been cancelled but that I had been put on a later flight. At 3 a.m. I was woken by a telephone call from KLM telling me that this flight had also been cancelled and that I had now been put on flights on Saturday. Then that NY flight was cancelled. By now I was getting more and more frustrated and had come to the conclusion that a decision had to be made if I didn’t want to risk getting stranded in Amsterdam or rerouted somewhere other than New York once airborne. I wasn’t judging in New
York and was going primarily to watch the show, cover it for BRITISH DOG WORLD and of course attend the parties and dinners to which I had been invited. Looking at the conditions in
and around New York, the prospect of schlepping across to the piers for the breed judging became less and less attractive. I knew that Jason Lynn and Ian Gabriel were already in the USA so we had backup there for coverage of the show, so I decided that common sense should for once prevail and cancelled the whole trip, with hindsight possibly a little rashly, but it meant that I could return home and watch The Garden via the wonders of live streaming from the comfort of my own home. Keeping in touch with Frank and Mike, I felt a tad jealous when I learnt that although their schedules were somewhat disrupted they had made it
through to New York. Frank was actually judging several breeds at Westminster so I realised how anxious he would have been about getting there. As the pictures of the Saturday night Showdogs Awards Dinner began to appear on Facebook I couldn’t help feeling that maybe I should have stuck it out, but there was no going back so it was a question of grinning and bearing it.
One of the advantages of watching the breed judging at the piers via the live streaming was that you could hop from ring to ring at the touch of a button so in reality I probably got to see more of the actual breed judging than I would have done had I been there in person. With breed judging having been moved from Madison
Square Garden to the piers, the rings appeared much larger, but obviously there wasn’t the same kind of atmosphere that was so very much part of the whole Garden experience where the aisles were jam packed and conditions somewhat crowded. With the time difference it also meant that, instead of having to be ringside at 8.30 a.m., I could tune in at 1.30 p.m. for the earliest breeds. So having accessed the streaming via the Westminster Kennel Club website, I watched some of the Pugs in Ring 1, then all of Pekingese in Ring 3 where David Fitzpatrick won the breed with Ch Yakee Easily Persuaded, his latest import from the legendary Scottish kennel, now co-owned with Sandra Middlebrooks, who has backed so many top winning show dogs in recent years. Then it was back to Ring 1 to watch Affenpinschers where GCh Banana Joe v Tani Kazari put on a great performance for Ernesto Lara. It was no secret that Joey was supposed to be returning home to his Netherlands breeder Mieke Cooymans after The Garden where he was to enjoy his retirement and entertain the occasional female. Would he go out on a high having already broken the BIS record for the breed? When in the USA Joe has been co-owned and financed by Tina Truesdale whose Hi-Tech Boxers have for many years been at the top, always piloted by the gifted Kim Pastella. Next stop was Ring 4 for Standard Poodles where I was keen to see how Dino looked up against London, two black males that both have an army of fans and both of whom I have awarded top honours independently. Eventually it was Dino – Ch Del Zarzoso Salvame from Afterglow – who edged ahead of London – GCh Jaset’s Satisfaction – but it was the white bitch, GCh Brighton Lakeridge Encore, piloted by vintage Poodle handler Tim Brazier for the Sosnoffs, who won the breed. My eye was constantly drawn to a black bitch who ended up winning the Select Award and it was interesting to discover that Ch Dawin Hearts of Fire was a daughter of Ch Dawin Spitfire, the bitch who was my BOB winner at Westminster in 2010. Following the judging was relatively easy as I had the catalogue page up on the iPad screen whilst watching the judging on the laptop. Almost all the armband Continued on page 80

A Different PersPective PersP by Linda More
SIT ON IT
W
ell no, I don’t mean that the way you might think I mean it! In this instance, “sitting on it” means holding something back, a dog for example, until it is fully ready. I think we used to see more of this than we do now. This year, however, the Old English Sheepdog entered and shown at Westminster in the Bred by Exhibitor class, got the nod from three established judges and rocketed to Reserve Best in Show. What fun for the audience! And what tremendous fun for the breeder-owner-exhibitors of this dog! And thank you Westminster for bringing back class dogs! Apparently the owners of the dog had more or less “sat on him”, showing him sparingly, though obviously he had garnered the points necessary to qualify to be entered at WKC. Some years ago (and never mind how many years) a friend of mine had a very promising young dog of her breeding, and she cleverly did not rush to show him. She held him back, and eventually he was shown only three times in the classes, winning three five point majors at three specialties including the national, to finish with a grand flourish and a fine reward for my friend’s restraint and planning. Of course, there was some “racing luck” involved in that the judges coming up were ones most likely to recognize the dog’s quality and appreciate his look. This dog went on to become a multiple specialty and all-breed BIS winner. Why don’t we see more of this now? I can think of several reasons. First, most if not all of us started going to dog shows, however long ago that was, because we found it fun. In these days of fanciers keeping many fewer dogs, it may be much harder to “sit on” one for months or more if you have nothing else to show. I don’t believe we have that many dedicated dog show nuts that go to shows just to see the dogs and spend time with friends without having an exhibit – except 42 Dog News
at big shows like Westminster or the AKC show, or national specialties. And it does seem as if those who do go just to watch are often no longer breeding or exhibiting, and they are also often not…..er…….young. Next there is the typically American zeal for instant gratification. Get that puppy out and get it finished as soon as possible. But then what? Go for the Bred-by medallion so put that immature puppy in the BBE class, whether or not it’s even leash trained or mentally ready? How many entry fees will be spent this way, likely making points for other dogs? How about the ads that say things such as “all this and he’s only a year old!” Is that a good thing? We’ve all seen the flashy puppy that won big as a baby, and then it grew up, and, well, let’s just say that maturity was most unkind to it. Yes, judges must judge “on the day” – though that’s a topic for another time. But from a breeder’s perspective, will this flash in the pan youngster that later fell apart then be used for breeding and perpetuate its shortcomings? Instead of instant but small gratification now, how about really big gratification later on? Third is the challenge in these times of getting your young dog appropriate ring training. In the “old days” when I started showing in the Northeast, we had many matches, as not every weekend had point shows. Some of our matches drew several hundred entries (one I recall hit 600 entries), and they were the ideal training venue for dogs, exhibitors, judges, and stewards. Of course we had our “match kings and queens” who made a career of accumulating and boasting about match wins but never entered a point show. But we had fun, got to know a lot of people, and learned a lot as did our dogs. We also had numerous breed handling classes at which to practice, and while
there may be fewer of those now, there are still some around as well as clinics given by accomplished professional handlers. Matches given as part of a regular show weekend or cluster just don’t provide the same extensive opportunities as those big all day matches did, though thank goodness there are still some clubs giving matches. Now we have the AKC 4 to 6 month puppy competition, which is proving to be popular with many. This event offers the chance to get your baby puppy into the ring for some good training and exposure to the atmosphere of a dog show. At the same time this competition recognizes the reality that many exhibitors want to bring their younger puppies along to shows for training as well as to avoid dog sitting costs. At a few shows I have attended the 4-6 competition has been a great spectator pleaser, too. After all, what is cuter than puppies? In the ring they run the gamut of the big breeds at the endearing “all legs and knobs” stage, to the fluffy (or not) little pups of small hairy breeds. Some act like seasoned contenders, others are adorably naïve. Personally I hope more shows will see their way to offering this event. The judges of the 4-6 must be AKC approved judges which increases the probability that your puppy will be examined by someone who will treat the baby gently. The judges need not be approved for the group of breeds they are assigned, so it can be a learning experience for them as well. All in all, if you are sufficiently motivated, there are still ways to socialize and train your young dogs without entering them in the regular classes at point shows before they are ready. So if you have a promising young dog at home, do you think you might be able to overcome the obstacles and your own impatience and “sit on it” until the dog is ready to make a really noteworthy debut?

The Fancy Speaks By Roz Kramer
L
ast year we were all surrounded daily with political ads, speeches, and thus the all-consuming presidential election season of 2012. Once again we are surrounded by another election---AKC Board of Directors. The week of Feb 8, 2012, Dogs News published the Directors’ Questionnaire, which was answered by all candidates running for the Board. I found it quite interesting, that MOST of the answers provided by the candidates were reminiscent of presidential campaigns: answer the question by not answering the question. They were asked to give concrete ideas and plans for the future of AKC---but instead many responses were “my history or my past”, with references given to their prior achievements in business or their biographies. Or the pithy non-answer “The Board has a policy in place”. What does this say about the candidates? Are we going to go through ANOTHER round of board members living on 46 Dog News
Politics and Pros
their past laurels, with no new ideas coming to the table? Another round of egos taking control so they can sit and argue and yet no progress made? AKC is already in a stupor—so where are the new ideas??? More importantly WHY were the questions not answered? For example one of the questions we asked was “Registrations have been in a free-fall –What concrete recommendations do you have for turning this around?” What were the answers we received? One was a lengthy response of why they have declined—NOT a hint of what to do about it!!!! And that was only one!!! And how’s this for insightful: “I can’t tell you what the current board has in mind as it will compromise the situation”. Perhaps I should have added another question of Board Members, past/present: What have you achieved, what was the date and if not achieved, why not? Personally I am sick of the politics and egos associated with running for the Board. When and who is going to take some action? If these candidates can’t answer simple questions that were posed to them now—what are they going to accomplish as a sitting board members? As a fancy we are tired of the non-action associated with recent boards—wake up and smell the roses—or lack thereof candidates and board members. Quite frankly I was extremely disappointed in most responses, and am afraid our board is just going to be the same old stuff—with nothing getting done and AKC declining into oblivion. Sure does remind me of Washington politics.

Four of Vikki Landes’ Italian Greyhounds race each other. Left to right Jo-Na-Da’s Bye Bye Love D’Folly GRC (“Lula”), Ch Jo-Na-Da’s Kiss N Tell D’Folly JC SGRC2 JOR VCX (“Tally”), D’Folly Harlequin Girl JoNa-Da JC SGRC SOR ORC (“Quin”) and Ch D’Folly Lil Bit O Sushi Jo-Na-Da JC GRC JOR VC (“Sushi.”)
Zuli (DFolly Lazuli Di Lapis SGRC SOR), another Landes’ IG, won the 2011 Large Gazehound Racing Association national and was second in the National Oval Track Racing Association’s national.
According to Linda Kennedy, Lamby (Ch La Scala Carmina Di Levriere NAJ NA) displays her hound heritage by being just plain evil if she doesn’t feel like performing.
The“Gene Kelly”Of Dogdom THE ITALIAN GREYHOUND By M.J. Nelson
S
mall in Stature at 5’7”, the late, great american dancer, actor and singer, Gene Kelly was often described as “high energy” “ having great power” “earthy” and “a linebacker.” When asked to compare Kelly to his long-time good friend and fellow master dancer Fred Astaire, a critic said, “Fred is athletic elegance, Gene is elegant athleticism.” Owners of Italian Greyhounds say that these depictions of Kelly could also be applied their breed. The high-stepping, dancing action of the breed, like that of Kelly, has, over the more than 2,000 years of its existence, delighted commoners and royalty alike. And, like Kelly, this tiny sighthound has an elegant athleticism only on four dancing feet instead of two. While the breed’s name is “Italian Greyhound,” breeders and owners in England and Scotland are credited with having brought this toy breed to its current state. Part of this effort was due to the fact that the breed graced the royal palaces of Mary Queen of Scots, Charles I, Queen Anne and Queen Victoria. Even though the breed functioned largely as a pet in the British Isles, Italian Greyhounds likely were also used early in their development for hunting small game or to control rodents and other pests where it functioned as a sighthound. Not all of this ability has disappeared over the centuries as IG owners are discovering in a variety of field and performance activities. 50 Dog News
“Italian Greyhounds are agile, athletic, fast and smart. If you keep them focused and excited, they are great teammates,” said Wendy Hesterly, who owns Int’l BIS & Bah Ch Littleluv DiMare Alexis Foxhill RAE CDX AXJ VCM CGC (“Lexi”) and Ch Littleluv’s TKO Kelly RAE BN OA OAJ CGC (“Kelly.”) “They are built to be a very functional breed,” said Barbara Steinlage, who owns Ch. Razzo’s Blonde Bombshell Bellagio JC RAE BN OJP OAP VCX. “Although they may seem slight and diminutive, the Italian Greyhound has a lot of power. When I compare them to other toy breeds, there are few that I could consider as equally prepared to succeed in competition in the various performance activities as the IG. Behind the facade that’s often seen as selfishness is actually a willingness to please.” “They have a sighthound’s drive and the streamlined body that excels at speed. If you can channel this drive, it makes for a confident, excited and ready-to-please-you dog. There is a mindset in both sighthound field events and performance activities that an IG is too small and frail or even that their drive is not like that of a ‘real’ dog. In fact, our own parent club suffers, to a degree, from this mindset. But, my FCh has won over many people in coursing and the same can be said for some in the agility arena,” said Sue Ostrander, whose field champion “Luca” was a rescue from the Italian Greyhound Club of America’s res-

cue operation. The dog has earned several bests-in-field and bests-inevent along with an LCM, VFCh, JC, SC, NA, NAJ and is still running, at the age of 9½, working on a veterans lure coursing master title. “This breed has been around for 2000 years. They are adaptable and they love whatever their owners love. I’ve seen IGs that love to go running with their owners and others that are pure couch potatoes. They are intelligent and they want to be with you but they are also hounds which means they think for themselves. Mine killed a jackrabbit this Thanksgiving and brought it in front of the fire to eat it in front of all of my family just after we had finished our Thanksgiving meal. Of course, this made for a pretty lively moment but the dogs knew it was time for a feast. They are really smart and you have to make the games you want them to play worth while for them which means a lot of positive reinforcement. Because they are hounds pleasing you is not always their top priority. Lamby (Ch La Scala Carmina Di Levriere NAJ NA) can be just plain evil if she doesn’t feel like performing. I have to be more interesting than a jackrabbit or whatever. They can easily devise their own rewards if you don’t have something great,” said Linda Kennedy, who owns, in addition to Lamby, GCh La Scala L’Ultima Evvita D’Coccolare CGC (“Gus”) that is training to be a diabetic alert dog, Lexi (Levriere Lexi Kennedy NAJ NAP NJP OJP CGC) and others just beginning to compete.
“i
g’S are very intelligent. Some of them are more intelligent than otherS. They are sighthounds and therefore independent thinkers. They need to want to do an activity because they enjoy it or because they enjoy doing it WITH YOU or because they want to please you. They can be very clear about setting limits! Their nature as sighthounds is to think and act independently so they may well look at a course and decide to do it in a more creative way
ZiZi (GRCh Sardis Bluebell Fairy RAE NAJ OA), Annette McCarthy’s IG is happy to retrieve dumbbells over jumps and on the flat but ask her to pick up a glove and she treats it like an indignant dowager picking up a dirty napkin.
Snoopy (Count Snoopy von Edison SGRC 17 SC CGC VC), Terri Jones’ IG, excels in straight track events but has figured out how to cheat in lure coursing and oval track racing.
than the judge intended. Also, if an IG doesn’t want to do something they probably won’t. If you are showing an IG in conformation or doing obedience outdoors on a cold day, you’ll probably get no ‘sits’ and the dog’s topline will more closely resemble a pretzel than a Greyhound because they really don’t like being cold. They often have very clear likes and dislikes. For example, ZiZi (GRCh Sardis Bluebell Fairy RAE NAJ OA) will retrieve both on the flat and over jumps in obedience but she prefers a dumbbell. Ask her to pick up a glove and she does it rather like an indignant dowager picking up a dirty napkin. Her entire attitude says ‘I’ll touch as little of this as possible,’” said Annette McCarthy. In some circles, there seems to be a bias against Italian Greyhounds. “When I first started running my dogs in all-Whippet clubs, there was a stigma about these little guys. People seemed to think that an IG is a shy, retiring dog that is shaky and sad looking. My dogs are nothing like that. They are outgoing and pretty unafraid as well as being very, very fit. However, I went into racing to have fun and as soon as the people in these clubs saw these game little dogs run their hearts out, they were sold and most of them were supportive. My dogs live to race the bunny both on a straight track and an oval one. They love to work at anything that they think is their idea so you need to find out what they like and build on it. You can’t train an IG to do something they do not want to do. They will do things that you enjoy but only if they also like doing it. My dogs won’t really buckle down to lure coursing but in straight track racing, the bunny is a stuffed bunny with a squawker and they’ll run their hearts out for the stuffed bunny. Even though all my dogs were bred first and foremost as show dogs, all have done some successful running which means that they have brains and drive and aren’t just pleasant little CoNtiNueD oN page 119

ith quarantine noW gone in the uK, the
doors were open for breeding programmes to be extended, and in some cases, breeds were saved from virtual extinction. So when the top stud and top broods leagues are announced it’s always interesting to see ‘what came from where’. For the second year running, Top Stud Dog all breeds is the Irish setter Show Ch Caskeys Concept at Aoibheanne. He is a great-great-grandson of Sh ch Kerryfair Night Fever who won this award five times in succession. Another Irish setter to win the trophy was Night Fever’s double grand-son Sh Ch Caspians Intrepid. Moving up one position into second place, and topping the hounds for the second year is the American-bred Basenji Ch/American champion Kazor’s Make Way For Riley. He is owned by Dee Hardy and Trish Hallam in partnership with his breeder Carol Webb and is by Am Dual Ch Taki’s Classic Architecture ex Am Ch Kazors Ima Lilytoo. He himself a group and reserve best in show winner. ‘Riley’ was imported as a mate for his aunt, the famous Ch/ Am Ch Klassic’s Million Dollar Baby, and two mating’s to her produced several cc winners including the top Basenji for 2012 Ch Tokaji California Dreaming. In third place is the most familiar of faces, the Hungarian Vizsla Sh Ch/Aus Ch Hungargunn Bear It’n mind, arguably Britain’s most famous showdog of all time, whose death l announced recently. Bred in Australia by Naomi Cragg and sired by Aus Gr Ch Hubertus Dealers choice ex Aus Ch Hungargunn Unforgettable, he was owned jointly by her and Kathryn Armstrong. In all, he has sired 18 champions. On a personal level, it gives me great satisfaction to say that in fourth place is the Bichon Frise Ch Pamplona Bring Me Sunshine, owned by Michael Coad and top dog breeds in 2011, and now top toy stud for 2012. Also bred by Michael, ‘Eric’ is a multiple best in show winner, sired by Pamplona Harry potter ex Pamplona By request. He retired at Crufts having taken the cc record from his grand sire, the great Ch/Am Ch Paray’s I Told You So. Michael of course had something to follow on and his son Ch Pamplona Brings It On became top Bichon for 2012 and another son Ch Chasnaz Touch of Frost at Pamplona, the 2012 ‘Pup of the Year’ winner also gained his title and Ch Arthlorns Ready to Rumble won the Eukenuba ch stakes final and represented the UK at the World Challenge in Florida, where Ireland’s representative, was amazingly, another son of his. Topping the working group is the Dobermann Ch Amazon El Torro, this kennel has produced some great Dobes over the years and great input to the breed. Owned by Clive and Nancy Evans and sired by the breed record holder Ch/Lux Supetas Ozzy Osbourne ex Ch Amazon She Will Be Loved. And we have another gundog in sixth place, and another bred in a famous kennel. Sh Ch Asquannes Gillespie, the black cocker Spaniel, bred by Anne and the late Allan Webster. A very

consistent breeder and he is bred from two other Asquannes champions, Sh Ch Gonzales and his grand-daughter Sh Ch Georgette. We had a Dobe in fifth, and now have his father in seventh place, that of Ch/Lux ch Supetas Ozzy Osbourne. His sire is the Russian import Ch Korifey iz Zoosfery ex Ch Supetas Enuf Alredi. He is the current breed record holder and was top Doberman in 2012. In eighth place is the dual-BIS-winning Afghan Ch Saxonmill Rum Tum Tio, owned and bred by Roberta Hall and by the Danish import Ch/Int/Sw/Ir/Dan/Lux/Bel Ch Exxos Gameboy at Zharook ex Ch Saxonmill Jellicle Jett, who was twice all-breeds top brood bitch. A Border Collie, bred in Finland, heads the herding group. His name must be a spelling nightmare!! Sh Ch Pikkupaimenen Great Pretender at Lochiel, as l previously said, bred in Finland by Sari Solanti and co-owned by her and Heather Turner. He is sired by the Australian-bred Aus/Am/Fin/Est ChNahrof The Cohort ex Fin/Am Ch Pikkupaimenen Front Page News. Topping the terriers is a breed that often tops the number of dogs in this group, the Staffordshire Bull Terrier. So in tenth place it is Ch/ Ir/Int Ch Lackyle Diabhai Og. Bred in Ireland by James Byrnes and owned in the UK by Fred Jones. Sired by Knockon The Divil Himself at Kilvana ex Ir Ch Lackyle Solas Na Gealai. And in `11 place, is the winner of the non-sporting group, the fawn French Bulldog ch friend De La Parure. Of course bred in the famous Belgium kennel of Victor, Ricky, Dimitry and Chantal van Ramsdonk and owned in the UK by Darren Friend. He comes from a long line of De La Parure champions and ‘friend’ is sired by Confucious De La Parure ex the Italian-bred Luce del Mielocchi dell’Akiris”. Last time l gave you the winners of the top stud dogs in the UK. This time it’s the ladies turn, those unsung heroes, who always seem to be left in the background but whose contributions are tremendous. As in the stud dog table, we have a second consecutive victory in the top brood bitch competition. Overall winner is the US bred and imported tri colored Basenji CoNtiNueD oN page 92

he highly publicized aTTacks on The dog fancy that appeared in the New York Times on the eve of and on the first day of Westminster continue to raise the ire of many. The Times printed the American Kennel Club’s reply to being bashed on Sunday, Feb. 17th, in the form of a letter from AKC President and Chief Executive Dennis Sprung (see ‘The AKC Speaks’ on pg. 30 of this issue). Mr. Sprung’s clear and concise missive — the Times limits responses to 150 words and edits as it sees fit — addressed many of the inaccuracies and opinions presented by the Times’ reporters in the Feb. 10th article. In telling fashion, however, Mr. Sprung’s letter was followed by not one but two letters that further questioned the AKC’s motives and operations. Fair and balanced the NY Times has not been when it comes to the AKC. One would think that an organization such as the AKC, which calls New York City home (it has a second home in North Carolina), would receive not exactly a home court advantage so to speak but at the very least a fair shake at answering its detractors. Nobody expects a homer a la Michael Kay pimping the Yankees on the YES network but equal time via a point/counterpoint shouldn’t be too much to ask. The AKC is, after all, an organization that has repeatedly shown its commitment to the canines and citizens of the Big Apple. In the wake of 9/11, the AKC was instrumental in getting needed equipment to Ground Zero to treat Search and Rescue Teams. It then created DOGNY as a tribute to Search and Rescue Dogs, which raised over $100,000 for SAR organizations nationwide, as well as the AKC CAR Canine Support and Relief Fund, to further support professional and volunteer SAR organizations throughout the country. More recently, the AKC established the Sandy Fund to assist organizations that provide support and services for dogs and owners who suffer from natural disasters — not only from Superstorm Sandy, but in the event of future disasters as well. Both the AKC and The Westminster Kennel Club kicked in $10,000 apiece to establish this fund. When the New York Yankees sought to help dogs and their owners in the region that were displaced and affected by Sandy, they reached out to Mr. Sprung at the AKC, who, in turn, contacted Jason Taylor
at Eukanuba, which arranged for 44 tons of dog food to be delivered to Yankee Stadium and distributed throughout the area. Such good deeds aren’t only performed in the wake of disasters and terrorist attacks, they are a common occurrence. The AKC Humane Fund helps so many people and dogs in so many ways, awarding scholarships and grants, including donations to women’s shelters that permit pets. The AKC Canine Health Foundation has funded over $35 million since 1995 for research and educational programs to prevent, treat and cure canine diseases. But apparently the NY Times and its reporters aren’t interested in those types of stories or don’t find them controversial enough. The NY Times’ policy of determining whether to allow a rebuttal to be printed in the same section of the same edition of the newspaper (in this instance, the Sports Section of the Sunday paper) must be re-examined. By the time such a rebuttal appears (if it appears at all) in this age of ultra connectedness and instant communication, an impression has already been made and public opinion swayed. The tens of thousands of dog show fanciers, enthusiasts and media personnel that descended upon NYC were long gone by the time Mr. Sprung’s reply was printed in the Times, thus limiting its effectiveness. Heck, preparations are already being made for next year’s Westminster. It’s hoped that the AKC is making preparations to head off such future public attacks as well. Instead of resorting to damage control and being on the defensive, the AKC must thwart such attacks by becoming more proactive; put the animal rights extremists on the defensive for a change and don’t leave it up to organizations such as HumaneWatch.org to expose the agendas of the Humane Society of the United States, PETA and others of their ilk. Maybe it’s time for Chairman Kalter, the advertising and PR guru and former CEO and Chairman of Doner (the largest independent ad agency in terms of revenue in the US), who provided the AKC with its “We’re more than Champion Dogs. We’re the dog’s champion” slogan and ad campaign pro bono several years back, to invest some of the $60 million reserve fund left behind from prior regimes into television advertising promoting the value of the AKC, its breeders and purebred dogs.

have already talked about Netherland, also referred as Holland, but equally to the before commented countries Holland has many more unknown fascinating sights, secrets, and yes, some more rare dog breeds, too. It is impressive how much history and culture lies in the towns of The Netherlands. Netherland has two capital cities; the official one since the 19th. Century is Amsterdam, but (since 1584) also is Hague were the seat of the government is. Hague’s history dates back to premedieval times when many artists and craftsmen migrated to the city which is the reason of Hague having an enormous and rich art heritage. The Netherlands were an Imperial power with its own unique language, and the inhabitants are proud of its history and culture. There is a historical dialect spoken in Friesland, which is almost impenetrable to outsiders. Nederland’s (meaning “Low Country”) has 16,783,092 inhabitants, and an area of 41,543 square ki-
* Vincent Willem van Gogh (30 March 1853 – 29 July 1890) was a Dutch postImpressionist painter whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty and bold color, had a far-reaching influence on 20th-century art. After years of painful anxiety and frequent bouts of mental illness, he died aged 37 from a gunshot wound, generally accepted to be self-inflicted (although no gun was ever found). The world’s recognition arrived only after his tragic death. 60 Dog News
** Annelies “Anne” Marie Frank, German born (12 June 1929 – early March 1945), was one of the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust. Her diary has been the basis for several plays and films. She lived most of her life in Amsterdam, in the Netherlands. She gained international fame posthumously after her diary was published. It documents her experiences hiding during the German occupation of the Netherlands in World War II.
lometers. The Dutch United Provinces declared their independence from Spain in 1579. At the 17th century the country became an important seafaring and commercial power, owner of several settlements and colonies around the world. After the French occupation (of 20 years) the Kingdom of the Netherlands was formed in 1815. The Netherlands remained neutral in World War I, but suffered invasion and occupation by Germany in World War II. A modern, industrialized nation, the Netherlands is also a large exporter of agricultural products. The country was a founding member of NATO and the EU. There are thousands of items important to mention about Holland as the 2007 UNICEF’s report on child well being ranked the best country in the world. New York City of US started as a Dutch colony and was called New Amsterdam. First sold as a medicine the Gin was created in Netherland and named Jenever. Australia, New Zealand, and Tasmania as well as the Mauritius Islands were discovered by the Dutch. I just learned that the Dutch (in 1610) were the second to introduce the tea to Europe, and the first to popularize it in the US. This item deserves a special note; the Portuguese Jesuit Father Jasper de Cruz was the first European to bring this beverage to Europe. Later Holland would also begin trades with East Asia. Holland first introduced Tea to America. It was introduced in 1650 to the personnel of the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam (modern day New York). Tea was not introduced to England for two more years, making them the last of the major nations of the time to partake in this highly popular beverage. England would have a huge influence over tea, resulting in several wars including the American Revolution. The Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773, took place when a group of Massachusetts Patriots, protesting the monopoly on American tea importation recently granted by Parliament to the East India Company, seized 342 chests of tea in a midnight raid on three tea ships and threw them into the harbor. http://www.articlesbase.com The government has legalized same sex marriage since 2001 and euthanasia in 2002. The country has art-
ists such as Rembrandt, Vermeer, and Vincent Van Gogh. Dutch inventors created the telescope, the pendulum clock, the mercury thermometer, and the Dutch “Philips” company created the Audio-Tape, the Video-Tape, the Compact Disc, and the CDROM. As we can observe the country is famous for more than its clog, 1810 windmills, and tulips. Did you know that KLM the Dutch Airline was founded in 1919 and is the longest running national airline in the world? Amsterdam has besides the Van Gogh and Anne Frank, many more museums worth the visit. And there is the town I talked about already, but will refresh my admiration for; the city of Giethoorn, the beautiful and quiet little village unique in that road is almost nonexistent. Giethoorn is connected by waterways and paths and some biking trails. Visitors are always welcomed and encouraged to rent an electric and noiseless “Whisper Boat” to explore this little piece of heaven.

always wondered why the color orange Is assocIated with the Netherlands? The first time I saw the Dutch national soccer team playing in the World Cup, as many people I also was surprised, of the fact that besides the team all the soccer fans were wearing orange? The colors of the Dutch flag are red, white and blue there’s no orange at all, so why the orange? I went on digging, and learned that the orange carrots first appeared in Netherland in 16th century, and was selected from the white, red, back, and purple ones. The orange carrot was homage from the people to the House of Oranje-Nassau whose existence dates back to Willem van Oranje (William of Orange). Finally the color orange has royal roots in the Netherlands, and symbolizes pride in the country and in being Dutch. This complex and interesting land is also the home of the Nederlandse Kooikerhondje. The name derives from a duck trap called “kooi”, used by hunters along the canals in the Netherlands, “Hond” means hound dog; “je” is a suffix meaning small. ”Nederlandse” refers to the dog’s country of origin. The literal translation is “a small hound dog from The Netherlands who works with the hunter who uses the kooi trap.” There is a history that a Kooikerhondje is an important dog in its country because it saved the life of Prince William of Orange from an assassination plot. The dog barked at the assassins, awakened and alerted the Prince, who was able to escape. During the sixteenth century the Dutch used an interesting way of hunting ducks, a trap they call eendenkooi were built on ponds that were frequented by ducks. Kooikerhondje was taken from the name of the trap. It also means “decoy dog” and “dog of the decoy boss”. This spaniel type dog also goes by the name of Kooiker Hound, Kooiker Dog, Small Dutch Waterfowl Dog, and Dutch Decoy Dog. Upon the hunter’s hand signals, the Kooikers would start catching the duck’s atCoNtiNueD oN page 98

QUALITy OF THE DOGS ENTERED Another difference between these two prestige shows, and part of the cause of the differences in size, is the difference in the respective qualifiers. Clearly the Westminster bar is set higher than for Crufts and this, as well as the fact that all breed shows in the USA are normally much smaller than those in the UK generally, must be the two main reasons why one show is much larger than the other. That brings us to another issue – namely the quality of the dogs being shown. That is a very dangerous subject on which to embark. I would certainly not go as far as to call the Crufts entries “nothing more than farm dogs”. This is an expression that was once used by some notable American visitors to the show. But my own opinion is that it is inevitable, just because of the simple force of numbers, that the overall average quality of the dogs at Crufts is likely to be less than at Westminster. The same is likely to be said of the overall presentation of the dogs. But equally, now that the Crufts Committee has begun to look rather more carefully at the qualifications of the individual breed judges, I would argue that the quality of the dogs at the top at Crufts is generally just as good as at Westminster. PRESENTATION When it comes to presentation, comparison of the two shows becomes even more complicated and even more fraught. Many will argue that the presentation of the dogs at Westminster is far better than at Crufts. I think that very much depends on your definition of ‘better’. There are some who would say that in some breeds, presentation at shows in the USA including Westminster is totally ‘over the top’. My view is probably quite controversial and that is that the more dog shows become grooming contests the less likely they are to survive and prosper. The more difficult we make it for the average dog owner to compete with their dogs at shows, the more likely is the dog fancy to decline in popularity with participants, and to decline in social acceptability in the eyes of the general public at large. Is the fact that they are not ‘fancy’ enough one of the reasons there were 13 Border Terriers at Westminster but there will be 274 at Crufts? But that is perhaps a subject to develop on another occasion – not here. OWNERSHIP OF THE SHOW A further area of contrast is the respective ownership of Westminster and that of Crufts. Crufts is now (since 1939) owned by TKC and Westminster is very much not owned by the AKC! It may not be well known in the USA but Crufts Show started its life as the personal (for profit) property of Charles Cruft himself. In the early years it was one of the few shows here in the UK run, not by a club or a kennel club or a dog show society, but instead by a private individual. And what is more Charles Crufts
64 Dog News
was a great showman and made good money out of the business venture. He is often described here as the British Barnum and my old friend the late Frank Jackson in his book on the history of Crufts says: “His wife, Emma, acted as his treasurer, and his Secretary from 1925 until his death, was Miss Hardingham. The staff at his home at 12, Highbury Grove, London consisted of Kit his cook, Gillow his chauffeur, his maids Sophie and Beattie, and Barlow his gardener. Doubtless, his country home at Windmill Farm, Coulsdon Common, Surrey also had its staff. Charles Cruft lived very comfortably on the proceeds of his show.” After Charles Cruft died in 1938 his wife successfully ran the 1939 show. It was well known however that Mrs Crufts didn’t want to carry on running the event and a number of people expressed an interest in buying the rights to the show. Eventually TKC wakened up to this fact and made a bid for the show. The price paid by TKC for the show is reputed to have been quite a small amount but even so with the outbreak of WW2 in 1939 TKC may have wondered if it had actually done the right thing. No major shows were held in the UK between 1939 and 1946. Anyway the first Crufts Show held in the ownership of TKC was held in 1948 and since then the event has never really looked back. OTHER ACTIVITIES It is probably the fact that Crufts Show is owned by TKC that has allowed it, and indeed maybe even forced it, to develop all of the other activities that it now incorporates. Unlike Westminster, Crufts caters for all dogs, pedigree and non-pedigree. It has huge sections for Agility, Obedience, FlyBall and Heelwork to Music, as well as a major section for Discover Dogs (Meet the Breeds.) There are also separate rings for TKC’s Good Citizen Dog Training Program and for various activities of the young Kennel Club. There is a large area of the show devoted to canine health and the Health Zone showcases just what TKC and purebred breeders and breed clubs are doing for the future benefit of purebred dogs. The whole event, lasting four days in all, is used by TKC to promote all of its activities and to act as a celebration of everything to do with dogs - whether they are purebred dogs or otherwise. In a sense you might describe Crufts as a larger British version of Westminster plus the AKC Invitational combined into one event. IT’S THE DIFFERENCES THAT MAKE THEM UNIQUE As can be seen from the above there are similarities and differences between these two shows but we should probably take more time to celebrate the differences rather more than the similarities. It is, after all, those differences that ensure the uniqueness of these two great world renowned dog shows!

Fatty Fatty 2x4, Couldn’t Fit Through The Doggie Door! Vet school opens animal obesity clinic in response to the estimated 88.4 million overweight pets.
P
et obesity is a serious health problem. Research studies have linked it to diabetes, respiratory disease, pancreatitis, skin disease, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia (high fat levels in the blood), some types of cancer, osteoarthritis as well as poorer quality of life and shortened lifespan. Recent studies also have shown that between 60 and 70 percent of dogs and cats are obese or overweight according to veterinarians. To address this burgeoning issue, the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University opened The Tuft’s Obesity Clinic for Animals in September 2012. It’s one of the first obesity clinics for pets in the nation and is located at the Henry and Lois Foster Hospital for Small Animals in Grafton, MA.
The new clinic, which has three board-certified clinical nutritionists on staff, focuses on three areas. The first is providing effective weight loss programs for pets deemed overweight and obese, i.e., hard-to-manage cases, pets with multiple medical conditions, and pets in multiple pet homes. The second is educating veterinary professionals and the general pet-owning public on how to prevent, identify and combat obesity in dogs and cats. The third is conducting state-of-the art clinical research on the optimal methods for the treatment and prevention of obesity. Deborah E. Linder, DVM, DACVN, is the clinic’s Head and one of its Board-certified Clinical Nutritionists. In the following interview, she discusses various aspects of pet obesity; including its diagnosis, treatment and prevention as well as recent research. What is the scope of the problem?
Dr. Linder: Obesity is an incredibly serious and widespread problem. In my clinical experience, I’ve seen it affect pets of all ages. We have seen patients ranging in age from a 10 month-old puppy to a 16 year-old cat. What is the biggest challenge when treating overweight or obese pets?
The Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University opened the nation’s first animal obesity clinic solely dedicated to the treatment of overweight pets and headed by a board-certified veterinary nutritionist.

Dr. Linder: Oftentimes, the biggest challenge we face at the clinic is convincing owners they need our help! Studies have shown that owners underestimate their dog’s body condition score and thus may not be aware of the health consequences that overweight status may have on their dogs. [Body condition scoring is a method for evaluating the amount of body fat. It combines visual assessment with palpitation.] One of the goals of the clinic is to educate owners and veterinarians and thereby raise awareness of the significance of this issue. In addition to posting a website [http://www.tufts.edu/ vet/obesity/faq.html] with frequently asked questions about pet obesity, I’ve been visiting local veterinarians in order to help them better communicate the problem to pet owners. In the upcoming year, we also hope to offer continuing education directly to owners and veterinarians in a webinar format.
Given the estimated number of obese dogs and cats, apparently, owners have trouble dealing with the problem even when they know their pet is overweight. Why is that?
Dr. Linder: I have tried to answer that question in my research. For example, when we compared diets marketed for weight loss, we found it’s very confusing for owners because there are a wide range of weight loss diets being marketed. In some cases, some pets actually would gain weight on these diets if the feeding directions were followed! [See http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih. gov/pubmed/20043803.] We also are looking at what we can do to make weight loss more effective and safer. To that end, we are conducting several studies that investigate the optimal nutrient profile of weight loss diets. One was published already and another will be published soon. [See http:// www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23066734.] Are canine patients referred to the obesity clinic by other veterinarians and, if so, on what basis?
Dr. Linder: We see pets at any weight above ideal. Patients come to us in one of two ways: directly at the owner’s request or at the suggestion of a local veterinarian. For example, some owners have a hard time maintaining their pet’s weight when exercise restriction is necessary due to an orthopedic injury. They need help adjusting calorie intake during that time period. How is obesity treated?
Dr. Linder: Much of the process involves discussing the environment at home and identifying challenges to weight loss in the past. Selecting an ideal diet for each patient, calculating calorie requirements, and discussing exercise when it’s possible are all critical. But those steps won’t be successful alone unless the whole pet is considered–including its lifestyle and home environment. Are dogs usually put on a prescription diet food?
Dr. Linder: Each pet has different nutrient needs and each family situation is different. Many pets come to us with comorbidities [other medical conditions], so we have to be careful in our selection of a diet. However, all pets need a high nutrient to calorie ratio to ensure they receive all of the essential nutrients while restricting calories. Some do well with a higher fiber ration because they feel fuller. But others may be fiber intolerant or owners may have trouble adjusting to the increased defecation that increased fiber causes. It’s a matter of individualizing the plan to meet the needs of each patient and family.
Could a home-cooked weight loss diet recipe be fed?
Dr. Linder: Optimizing a home-cooked diet for weight loss can be very challenging and thus is discouraged. Ensuring that all essential nutrients are met while decreasing calories often requires multiple reformulations. Commercial diets are recommended during the weight loss process. Once target weight has been reached, a home-cooked diet recipe can be formulated so pets maintain their optimal weight. Couldn’t owners just feed less of their dog’s regular food?
Dr. Linder: In some cases, this may work. However, many foods designed for maintenance feeding may not provide enough essential nutrients if restricted to the amount necessary to induce weight loss. We want to reduce calories while ensuring the pet is still getting all the essential nutrients, vitamins and minerals. For those pets needing severe dietary restriction in particular, a specially formulated therapeutic diet is the safest way to avoid nutrient deficiency. Can treats still be given?
Dr. Linder: Yes! We want to ensure that pets are happy while losing weight, so we try to include treats as a part of the weight loss plan. Food reserved from the daily food allotment can be given as a treat, or there are some low calorie commercial treats and fresh foods we recommend. Are there any drugs available to treat obesity in dogs?
Dr. Linder: I’m aware of one medication in the U.S. It’s called Slentrol. What does it do and when is it prescribed?
Dr. Linder: Slentrol works by reducing appetite in dogs. However, the medication has limitations and must be considered on an individual basis for each pet. For example, it could be considered in a household where some family members have trouble participating in the weight loss program–such as when a family member has Alzheimer’s. This medication is not for every dog and veterinarians still must address behaviors and lifestyles in the family or the weight lost will be regained after the medication is discontinued. Slentrol is for the treatment of obesity in dogs only and is not suitable for cats.
What type of exercise and how much is recommended to facilitate weight loss?
Dr. Linder: The amount and frequency of exercise is dependent on the patient. For example, some dogs may have joint problems and thus have exercise restriction. Many others do well with low intensity activity such as walking, swimming, or underwater treadmill work. Because dogs have to turn quickly [when they do it], retrieving a ball may put additional pressure on their joints. So, it isn’t recommended as a low intensity exercise that would build-up muscle without putting pressure on the joints. At what rate should owners expect their dog to lose weight?
Dr. Linder: We recommend a slow and gradual rate of weight loss. It has been shown to reduce the risk of regaining weight and encourage fat loss instead of muscle. We aim for most pets to lose 1% of their body weight per week and no more than 2% per week. After the weight is lost is there risk pets will regain it?
Dr. Linder: Yes. Studies have shown that pets can regain the weight they lost more easily than pets that were never overweight. We carefully instruct owners on weight maintenance because many dogs will need lifelong calorie restriction. What steps may owners take to prevent obesity in the first place?
Dr. Linder: They should assess their pet’s body condition score and talk with their veterinarian about how many calories their pet needs. After dogs are neutered or spayed, their calorie requirements can decrease by up to 30%. So, owners should reassess their pet’s body condition [after these surgeries] and discuss appropriate amounts to feed with their veterinarian. What guidelines may owners use to determine if their pet is obese?
Dr. Linder: We use a body condition scoring system to help determine the amount of body fat an animal has. It’s based on the amount of fat covering a pet’s ribcage. When owners feel their dog or cat around its ribcage, it should feel no more padded than the back of their hand. Is there anything else you would like to add?
Dr. Linder: Obesity is an area of special interest to me because we can have the most impact on it. It is not only preventable but completely treatable. Dog News 67

hours trying to remove these unwanted hair strawsone of the dogs I showed was disqualified by a German judge due to “weisse stickelhaar” and the same if there was any shade of grey or brown in the coatand the coat did not have the correct texture all the way down to their feet: Out! Some of these judges would have a fit if they saw some of the coats winning today, not only in this country, but even Europe. And of course if you tried to show a Boxer with an unpigmented third eyelid- you were automatically out! The same applied in some cases to English Cockers.
of a beautiful dog, maybe a stand-out in the breed or the class thinking: Shoot…I have to grab myself by the neck not to succumb to old learnt in, negative way of condemning a dog due to faults- instead of weighing them up against the virtues. Of course there are faults, particularly those who affect breed type, which have to be penalized, but teeth are probably the most common reason why dogs are “dumped”. To judge a bite and eye color is easy, but to judge type, balance, proportions, angulation, eye –and ear placement, coat texture, movement etc. is a totally different cup of tea- and they are all ingredients to be taken into consideration when making your decisions.
So showing a dog of any breed which did not have an absolutely correct mouth, was completely out of the question- and the same applied to movement. In these areas there was really no room for compromise. That was the way I was raised- and that was what I carried with me into the world of terriers. In Scandinavia I would never even consider showing a Wire Fox Terrier-or any other breed- with a tooth missing or not a completely perfect bite. This was also the attitude I took with me when moving to the UK, but after having judged a few times over there and had opened few mouths- I decided to show a very pretty bitch who had 2 missing teeth- and she became an easy champion. But because of the mouth, I never bred from her, but gave her away as a pet. Another bitch which was also an English champion, purchased unseen, produced one puppy with 2 teeth missing- so she was also given away as a pet. I have regretted these stupid decisions many times since, but what opened my eyes was a conversation with Raymond Oppenheimer. Well, not really a conversation at the time as I was in awe of this person, so mainly listened to his philosophy! Anyone who ever read his books or listened to him talk about judging/breeding Bull Terriers will know that what he preached was exactly the opposite of what I was being taught in my early years in this sport.
As a breeder it is of utmost importance that you work with a vet who also knows and understands what this is all about. And when we moved to the UK we found a real gem. This was a gentleman of the old school and on his list of clients were people like Oppenheimer, Cartledge and Sutton. He was also a Track Vet for the local Greyhound Racecourse- and I remember early on bringing a bitch puppy to him –sold as a pet due to a wrong mouth- for a health certificate! When I mentioned to him I wanted the pups mother spayed and intended to give her away as a pet, he asked WHY?: What are the other pups like? They were lovely, but I had decided to let them go due to this one bad mouth! He told me I needed my brain checked- as this was the stupidest thing he’d ever heard- and he lectured me about selective breeding- and again to look for the positives… So without knowing it Dr. Guthrie and Raymond Oppenheimer actually have a lot to answer for when it comes to the way I look at breeding and dogs in general. The fact that I during all those years I bred Wire Fox Terriers only had 2 undershot puppies is of course something I am proud of- but what I lost in other respects by being overly selective, will forever remain a mystery. Breeding dogs, raising and training puppies have always been my favorite parts of this hobby. The shows are of course important- as breeding “something” to win with is what we are aiming for. But what really drove and inspired me was- and is -the fact that I love dogs and that having them around just makes me feel good ! Hopefully most of you feel the same way and not show dogs just to have something to win with…
I think this changed my way of looking at thingsall of a sudden focusing on i.e. head qualities and breed type and prioritize that over a incorrect bite, erratic movement etc., etc. But I really had to work on it. And even today I catch myself opening a mouth

he hecTic WesTminsTer Weekend is of course much more than Westminster on Monday and Tuesday--it is preceded by scores of Specialty Shows primarily in the Meadowlands of Secaucus, New Jersey and the Shows at the Pennsylvania-this year had the addition of a blizzard thrown in hitting the Northeast pretty hard and reducing to shambles the entries of these Specialties primarily those held on Friday and Saturday. Many people were concerned it would affect the Piers as well but fortunately that was minimized due to the superior clean-up in both the City and at the Piers--except of course for those of you in Connecticut or Massachusetts who were basically snowed in for at least a day or two. One of our pressing concerns was getting the February 8th issue into the Piers on time and thanks to Paul Reilly and his PRSCourier Service all this was accomplished as though there was no storm at all. Paul is a good dogman who is a pilot as well and runs this Courier Service so if ever you need this kind of work I strongly suggest seeking his services out. As many of you are aware people begin arriving on the Wednesday before the Show and with the problems and expense inherent in the flying of dogs these days to say nothing of the unpredictability of the weather it’s smart to do just that. Most of the big parties of old have been dispensed with although the Sosnoff do continues prior to the Theatre Benefit for the AKC Humane Foundation underwritten of

late by PetPartners, AKC’s pet insurance partner. The Sosnoffs provided buses to their home from the Affinia due to the blizzard conditions, which was really nice of them and resulted in a large turnout. The Theatre Benefit was really great this year and I know a lot of people think the dinner afterwards is too late to attend but perhaps due to the weather everyone seemed to have a better time than usual and the lateness of the hour added a good sense to me at any rate. Again attendance spectator ways at the Penn shows and I am told NJ shows too was way down on Friday as were entries too--by Saturday there was an improvement in both but nothing major. Meanwhile we made our way up to the Piers for the first time--the mags arrived and our booth was set-up. Florence, Sean and Tom were a huge help to everyone both on Saturday and Sunday when the dogs began to arrive after 12 noon and the people who worked the Piers could not have been nicer. Saturday was the awards dinner which has been pared down considerably but which I hear went nicely although the pale cast due to the nonpayment of certain people was an underlying current of discontent for some but not all the participants. Also on Saturday there was the Angels party and the CHF fetes, both of which are worth attending but I really think a change in venue from the Affinia to something more interesting would accomplish a lot more for both organizations. I mean let’s face it--the Affinia is the Affinia and is hardly more than a two star hotel--is it that much? By Sunday there seemed to be a major type recovery for the Specialties and the Hotels were swinging with people and dogs and again certainly in warmer rooms and set-ups at the Affinia the Malzoni Party celebrating the GWP’s Number One status for the year 2012 as well as the Santa Barbara party were held in concert but independently. At the Piers bright and early Monday am and as reported before the entire atmosphere was less stressful and fun inducing than ever the Garden was--Nestle Purina provided both breakfasts and luncheons for its members which were ravenously received by dog people as only dog people can react to food--the food situation at the Piers for the general public or those few not involved with Neslte Purina needs to be worked on and I am sure this will be accomplishedone of the beauties to the Piers is its flexibility which was never the strength of the Garden--smiling faces at the Piers from all CoNtiNueD oN page 100

aKC is a Leading not-for-Profit organization The article also states, “As recently as 2010, roughly 40 percent of the A.K.C.’s $61 million in annual revenue came from fees related to registration. Critics say a significant part of that includes revenue from questionable breeders like the Hamiltons, or so-called puppy mills, which breed dogs en masse with little regard for basic living standards.” We gave the reporter statistics that dispute this claim but they were not used. In fact, less than 5 percent of our total revenue comes from commercial breeders who register dogs and litters with us. • The AKC, for 129 years, has been committed to responsible dog ownership and responsible breeding of dogs, and we will continue our proactive efforts to further those goals, even when those efforts impact our bottom line. • AKC saw substandard breeders leave the registry in droves in the mid-1990’s when it instituted a care and conditions policy, and more leave when we sought to insure the integrity of the registry through DNA testing. an incomplete Picture Portrayed hamilton Case: While the article inaccurately portrays Hamilton as a high volume breeder or “puppy mill,” court documents make clear that this was a situation where “hoarding is likely a factor in what was occurring as the Hamilton’s were clearly unable to part with dogs that they had collected over the years.” Williams Case: The article fails to mention that Mr. and Mrs. Williams were charged in July of 2012 with one count of cruelty, and that charge was subsequently dismissed in September of 2012, based on the judge’s determination that the warrant that led to the illegal search of the Williams’ home and seizure of their dogs and the filing of the single charge was invalid. The Williams engaged in civil litigation to retain custody of their dogs from the “rescue” organization involved in the illegal seizure. This is similar to the more egregious case of Dan Christiansen in Montana who is suing the HSUS for $5M over a 2009 “raid” of his hunting dog kennel. A judge later ruled that the warrant for the raid was obtained based on intentionally misleading information, and all of the cruelty charges against Mr. Christiansen were dismissed. Chilinski Case: Likewise, the story fails to acknowledge that along with the seizure of Mr. Chilinski’s dogs, law enforcement seized over 200 marijuana plants that he was growing on his property, a vocation which likely led to the deterioration of his kennel and his overall ability to care for his dogs in the two years between his last AKC inspection and the raid of this property. voice Your opinion While the AKC’s critics may be vocal, they are few, led by extremist national animal rights groups who see their legislative influence and massive fundraising abilities diminished by growing recognition that the focus of their efforts is not bettering the lives of dogs or enhancing our relationship with them.

nonetheless, aKC continues to: • Spend millions annually on a kennel inspections program • Donate millions for the advancement of canine health research • Continues to give millions to canine search and rescue and disaster assistance • Continues to support the rights of responsible breeders to breed and raise dogs, and fight for the rights of responsible individuals to own them. It is important to note that in any enforcement and regulatory program, there will be those who approach the regulated activity with a disregard for compliance with the rules. As a result, there is always a risk that those non-compliant few will reflect negatively on the vast majority who are in compliance. Nonetheless, the AKC remains committed to its inspection program and its belief that the AKC is helping breeders achieve compliance through education regarding best practices for breeding and caring for dogs. Please share with your friends and family the facts and go to the NYT website and take the opportunity to post your comments about your commitment to responsible breeding and ownership of dogs.

The Letter That appeared in The feb. 17th issue of The nY Times: To the Sports Editor: Re “Safety Concerns Stoke Criticism of Kennel Club,” Feb. 10: This article paints a misleading picture of the American Kennel Club’s efforts to support responsible dog breeding and its good relationships with law enforcement and others who care about animal welfare. In the mid-1990s, the American Kennel Club voluntarily instituted a breeder inspection program. Since 2000, the A.K.C. has conducted more than 55,000 inspections; as a result, hundreds of substandard breeders no longer register their litters with the club. Less than 5 percent of the A.K.C.’s total revenue comes from commercial breeders. Choosing to conduct inspections costs $1.5 million annually, and while not in the club’s best financial interest, it’s a crucial safeguard for dogs’ health and well-being. The A.K.C. is not a law enforcement agency. However, if we discover substandard conditions, we immediately report them to local officials.

numbers were clearly visible so it was straightforward to look up each dog in the catalogue. Afghans and Cavaliers were on at about the same time so it was a question of hopping from Ring 9 to Ring 1 and juggling it so that I didn’t miss BOB in either. In Afghans it was interesting to see how the Chilean-bred bitch GCH AlNacira Bint Roula Von Haussman was looking. She has won in so many countries around the world, including BOB at The Garden in 2010 and 2012 and in 2011 she was the number one Afghan here in the UK. Last year I judged her in Italy where I had her third in a quality BIS line up. With her much-travelled Swedish handler Elisabeth Leven she managed to win BOS at this year’s Westminster behind the impressive black male, GCH Exlysta Aries Ciel Noir. In Cavaliers BOB went to a very free moving dog, GCH Bonitos Companeros Halli Galli, handled and co-owned by Ted Eubank who judged Cavalier males at our Blackpool show in 2011. At that show Ted’s CC winner was the evergreen Ch Keyingham Branwell who also won BOB and later third in the group. Halli Galli was bred in Germany by Klaus Vorderstrasse and Markus Kirschbaum who still co-own her with Ted and Nicola Morrison. She is by Branwell out of a daughter of a Craigowl sire and Pascavale dam so is very much the product of classic British breeding. As I digitally flitted from ring to ring I was perturbed to see several toy dogs being lifted off the table by their leads and tails, effectively “hanging” the dogs. This is a practice which I abhor and in view of the fact that all handlers knew they were being filmed I wondered why on earth they would treat their dogs so disrespectfully and give the animal rights lobby even more ammunition against the show world. The next port of call was Old English Sheepdogs where my good friends Nikolas Kanales and Matteo Autolitano were ringside and here there was a very interesting outcome. In recent years Westminster has confined its limited entry to Champions but this year opened up to dogs who have won Majors. Effectively that would be like Crufts opening a Champions-only entry to include CC winners who are not yet titled. After working the BOB competition to the max, Jim Reynolds pointed to Bugaboo’s Picture Perfect as his winner, an historic decision as he was a non-Champion who came from the Bred by Exhibitor class. Nikolas was delighted to watch GCh Aryakas Hermes win a Select Award, especially as two of his UK Champions had such a great year in 2012, ending up as Top Dog and Top Bitch in the breed. Groups did not start until 1 a.m. UK time but I was determined to stay up and not miss out on the Garden experience any more than I had done. With the wonders of technology and all the pieces of kit that many of us have now been talked into getting, just after midnight I was all set up with the iPad ready on which I would watch the live streaming, the laptop already turned to Facebook where there was considerable discussion as to which link would work the best, and had the iPhone to hand as I knew I would be getting a running commentary via text messages from Doctor Ian whose observations on all breeds are always so valid. So just after one in came the Hound Group which was judged by my old pal Luc Boileau. Many recall Luc winning BIS at Westminster under Frank Sabella with Ch Wendessa Crown Prince the Pekingese back in 1990. I was very taken by the PBGV bitch who turned out to be GCh Soletrader Maggie May and I thought she 80 dog news
and the Afghan would be tough to beat. As it was Luc went for the big winning and gleaming American Foxhound, a breed that many outsiders find difficult to understand with its unusual outline, followed by a handsome Basset male, the PBGV bitch and an Otterhound male. Next on was Dennis McCoy who has handled so many big winning Standard Poodles over the years and I thought this was a very strong Toy group. From the outset the Affenpinscher was bang on form, the Cavalier really moving out, and I still loved the tricolour English Toy Spaniel who had won BOB under me in Ohio last year. The Min Pin bitch with her spine-tingling gait and carriage was another standout I felt and I recall being drawn to her last year too. I also spotted the Longcoat Chihuahua from Japan, Ch Brilliant Win JP Famous Ambrose, who after I had seen him in Japan came to the UK where in a very short campaign he won his title in the hands of the Afterglow boys. This was a great win as he is no longer a young dog. I liked the look of the Pom and the Maltese too, so there was no shortage of potential winners.
Without exhausting the dogs Dennis made a popular choice when Joey the Affenpinscher took the top spot, followed by the Min Pin bitch, the Yakee Pekingese and the Pug male.
Non Sporting followed with Florence Males judging who of course worked for 16 years as an AKC Field Rep. As they came in I thought a comfortable winner would be the Dalmatian who won the group here last year. I admired him on screen then and got to actually judge him in Ohio last year where I confirmed that he was every bit as good in reality. He was Peter Green’s BIS winner on one of those Canfield days. I was also very impressed with the Schipperke and liked both the Bulldog and French Bulldog whilst the Xoloitzcuintli put on a great performance and was as good as I’ve seen. The group was won by a typy Bichon male, GCh Vogelflight’s Honor to Pillowtalk, and seeing that kennel name took me back years as I remember the Streatfields bringing Choir Boy into the UK long before the breed ever had CCs. Honor is the result of using semen from UK Dog of the Year Ch & UK Ch Paray’s I Told You So which was stored by Paul and Tray before he left for Pamplona. Second was the white Standard Poodle bitch, then the fawn French Bulldog male and the Tibetan Spaniel male handled by who British Boxerites consider to be the heartthrob of the Boxer world, Diego Garcia. The last group of the night was Herding with Chuck Trotter in charge, as famous for being the husband of Pat Craige Trotter as he is for being a former handler, notably of German Shepherds. Personally I didn’t find this a particularly strong group but felt the Old English would be the dog to beat and the Pembroke bitch seemed to have a lot of quality. The Beauceron had won one of the groups in Ohio last year and I recall then thinking he was as good as I’d seen in Europe. The Old English made Garden History (at least in recent years) by winning the group, not even a Champion, followed by a Cordmaker Puli male, the Beauceron and a Canaan Dog male ... too bad Ms. Hastings was not there to watch and enjoy. So after a deserved lie-in, I tuned in early Tuesday afternoon to watch some breed judging. Obviously most of my time was taken up with my good friend Frank Kane who had 117 dogs to get through in Ring 9 but was as thorough as ever. He started with Flatcoats, then had Curly Coats, Fields and Sussex to get through before he got to Irish Waters which were always going to be interesting as there were no less than four of Merlin’s sisters competing. Frank kept us on the edge of our seats as he examined and re-examined various dogs, eventually making GCh Whistlestop’s The Wind On Fire his breed winner. I judged this beautiful bitch in Denmark at the Spaniel Specialty in 2011 when I loved her and then watched her push Merlin all the way last year at Crufts when she took the Bitch CC. With her owner Greg Siner handling she looked like a million dollars. Continued on page 88

Continued FRoM page 80
I left Frank for a while to watch Beth Sweigart finish Labradors and thought she put up a very impressive and great moving yellow male. Kerry Blues were compulsive and I was keen to see if George Wright would pull off the breed with his big winning Irish-bred male, but he had to be content with BOS. I got to Scotties in time to watch Ernesto Lara win the breed with the Scottish-bred GCh Lomondview Clementina who looked in fine form. I was determined to switch to Ring 10 to watch the wonderful Kimberly MeredithCavanna judging Malamutes as the dog who had so impressed me in December when I judged the breed at the AKC show in Florida was competing. Again I felt he was a standout, and clearly so did Kim. I managed to see some the Bullmastiff judging and again contemplated how many good movers you tend to see in this breed in the USA, with real power. I needed to switch back at Ring 9 for Frank’s Clumber judging – making sure I texted friends in Croatia and Weston super Mare to let them know when he was about to start. The point of interest was the lovely bitch from Croatia who won BOB at Crufts 2012 only to be barred from competing in the group on the say-so of some vet. Having won on several occasions in Europe under Frank she was back at The Garden to take on America’s best. Lee Cox and I had an ongoing text conversation as we watched the breed and agreed that two males impressed us enormously. One was GCh Nexus Total Eclipse and the other GCh Clussex Collaboration with Traddles. We discussed the two dogs in detail as both were very impressive dogs and it was the Clussex dog who finally triumphed with the other male being Frank’s Select and Ch Chervood’s Snowsun (the winner of 3 UK CCs but not yet a Show Champion) well deserved BOS.
I totally missed Dobermanns but constant Facebook contact with Josh Henderson in Ireland confirmed that “Fifi” (the most unlikely Dobe name ever!) had got the breed and was considered a hot tip to go all the way.
By midnight there was again some confusion as to which link would bring us the live broadcast as the Westminster site just didn’t work for groups and in the USA Tuesday’s big ring finals were going out on a different network. However, I soon found a functioning link to the USA network and spent half an hour frantically copying and pasting to friends who were still searching. Sporting came first where Karen Wilson was judging. I spent some days with Karen in Japan a year or two ago and she is fabulously fun company. She looked very glamorous, as do all the Garden Group ladies, and got on with the job with the minimum of fuss. Obviously I liked the Irish Water and the Clumber put on a great show as did the Labrador. When it came to the hands-on I cringed every time a handler wrapped the ears of a Spaniel or Setter over its eyes, presumably to show off its long razored neck! Surely the breeds in this group of all should display a natural outline at all times? And, try as I might, I just cannot get my head around Spaniels and Setters with veritable curtains of straightened hair hanging almost to the floor. In the group was GCH Javal I’M Movin On To Hootwire, the Italian Spinone bred in Scotland whilst the Irish Red & White, GCH Mizen Duchas Dilis, was appropriately bred in Ireland whereas in this breed BOS was GCh Tullamore Toffi, bred in England. The big winning German Wirehaired Pointer who was top dog of all breeds last year, GCh Mt View’s Ripsnortersilvercharm, is another top dog owned by Victor Malzoni and it was he who topped this group with Karen placing a former Dog of the Year, the black American Cocker male second, the “English” Springer male third and Frank’s Clumber fourth. Robert Vandiver then took centre stage to judge the Working Group. Andrew 88 dog news
Green was again out there with wife Amy’s Samoyed bitch, repeating her last year’s breed win. I liked the Portuguese Water Dog very much and, regardless of where your type preferences lie when it comes to Dobermanns, Fifi is a dog that cannot be ignored as she is a show dog par excellence who just never stops posing and trying. Certainly she had the very vocal crowd behind her. However she had to play bridesmaid on this occasion as the judge went for the Portuguese Water Dog male, GCh Claircreek Impression de Matisse. Interesting I see that he has a Pouch Cove sire. What outstanding breeders are Peggy and Dave Helming; they seem to have green fingers in whatever breed they turn their hands to. They revolutionised Newfoundlands, made their mark in Portuguese Water Dogs and I suggest that Norwich Terrier people should now be quaking in their boots as that is their latest challenge. The Water Dog’s dam won the group under Carla Molinari at the World Show in Mexico a few years back and was named by Carla in the Kennel Gazette Judges’ Choice feature on the breed as one of her all-time favourites. Carla almost bought the Garden group winner as a puppy for a friend of hers and she really rates him. I suspect Mr. Vandiver may well be getting an invitation to tea at the White House following this momentous win. The smart red Boxer bitch came in third and a good moving Rottweiler male fourth. The final group was Terriers and this of course is when Dr. Ian gets very excited. Infuriatingly the transmission went down for a few anxious minutes and normal service was only resumed when we got to B for Bedlington, annoying as the Australian was sired by Ch Millvalley Red Rufus. The White Bull Terrier was sired by Ch Dajan Top Act With Action I see. The Norfolk Terrier was bred by Beth Sweigart and Pam Beale, sired by the Coco son, Ch Cause for Celebration, out of a Kinsridge bitch so how Elisabeth Matell would have wallowed in that reflected glory. GCh Yarrow Venerie Ticket To Ride was handled by Roxanne Sutton, who certainly walked off with the award for the most talked about handler’s outfit of the show. I will guarantee she wasn’t dressed by Bethy that evening! Jay Richardson, another former handler in his heavier days, judged what I thought was a cracking Terrier group. I liked the Border and Welsh enormously, both Fox Terriers, the hugely popular and recently recognised Russell Terrier – despite the fact that his handler hanged him off the table, the Scottie and the brindle Bull Terrier. I liked the look of the Stafford, GCH Angranian Derry Mucker, who was bred in Ireland. Jay’s choice made it a real Fox final with the Smooth male pipping the Wire bitch (another co-owned by Victor Malzoni) into second with the Border bitch and Russell male completing the quartet.
And so we came to the grand finale and of course this year for the first time Westminster would see a Reserve Best in Show declared, as is the practice at all AKC shows since last year. Obviously as judge Michael Dougherty did his last walk-along and paused to study each of the seven group winners the crowd did their loudest to express their support. Clearly the little black Monkey dog from the Netherlands had as many fans as anyone and he knew it. Announcing his Reserve Best first, the non-Champion Old English was declared as the winner. Then, as the world held its breath, Michael made a lot of people happy as he motioned to the little dog at the end of the line ... the Affenpinscher was Best in Show. At this point I was really kicking myself that I hadn’t persevered more with my travel plans as I just knew that an all-night party would ensue at which many of my friends would be congratulating Ernesto Lara who came from Mexico as a kennel help to Peter Green, worked his way up steadily, and is now following in his mentor’s footsteps. Sometimes common sense isn’t always the best option! And as for Joey, his return home to The Netherlands has been delayed for a week or so to enable him to fulfil the various obligations that the public expect of the Westminster BIS winner. Across the pond the winner of Best at America’s most famous dog show acquires celebrity status. If only the Crufts BIS winner was similarly applauded in this country.

Ch/Am Ch Klassic Million Dollar Baby at Tokaji, she was top brood 2011-and she was top hound brood in 2010. She was a great showgirl gaining many top awards. After winning her American title as a puppy, ‘Millie’ came to the UK where she quickly gained her title, was best of breed at Crufts five years running, smashed the breed record, became the first Basenji bitch to win best in show at a general championship show and won the top hound award. She was bred by Sue Kite and Jeff Gillespie in the US and is co-owned by Dee Hardy and Trish Hallam in the UK. She is sired by Am Ch Penda Taji’s Tri-Umphant One ex Am Ch Klassic’s Rooty Toot Toot, herself also a spectacularly successful show and brood bitch. ‘Millie’ had two litters, both by her brother’s son Ch/Am Ch Kazors Make Way For Riley, also imported from the US by Dee & Trish and himself top hound stud dog 2011/12 and overall runner-up 2012. Among the resulting ch progeny was the top Basenji for 2012 Ch Tokaji California Dreaming. Yet another hound is in second place and another that comes from a long line of bitches that regularly appear in this competition. This Ch Saxonmill Star Struck, an Afghan Hound owned and bred by Roberta Hall, and one of the many champions produced by a former double Top Brood all breeds, Ch Saxonmill Jellicle Jet. Her sire is the Danish dog, Int/Dan/Sw/Norw/Lux/Ger/Fr Ch Boxadan Grandpa Lives Forever, bred by the famous, and unforgettable, Lottie Jorgenson in Denmark. All of ‘Star Struck’s’ litter of 5 have won cc’s and 4 are already champions. The top gundog for the second year, and in the top five for the third year, is the third-placed German Short Haired Pointer Int/Dutch Ch Isara Kurzhaar Chatline of Kavacanne, owned by Sue and Peter Rose and bred by thelate great Fio Roberts and sired by Sh Ch Stormridge Moonraker of Bessalone ex Isara Kurzhaar Jakobine. In fourth it’s the herding group winner, the Swedish Vallhund, imported from Australia, Dlarah Summer Rain at Starvon. Owned by Ada and Tim West and bred by Leonie Darling in Australia. Sired by Finnish-bred Aus Gr Ch Konnunkodon Draco Malfoy ex Aus Ch Dlarah Rock A Hula. We have another gundog in fifth place and yet again from a kennel that has produced some of the best of their 92 Dog News
breed for many years. I am speaking of the Weimaraner Sh Ch Gunalt Delicious, bred by Steve and Patsy Hollings and owned by Jane Elders and Genna Samria. Sired by Sh Ch Gunalt Rumours about Sybaris ex Sh Ch Gunalt Intuition. The list of champions from this kennel just goes on and on, and including the progeny from this bitch, was the top Weimaraner for 2012 Sh Ch Gunalt De Ice at Stridview. In sixth is the well travelled Australian Shepherd Ch Allmark Careless whisper, bred by Neil and Angie Allen by the US import Bayshore’s Tears Of A Clown ex Ozzypool Molly Malone at Allmark. She is owned in partnership with Robert Harlow and the Allen’s, she went to the US for her first mating, these puppies included the top herding ’12, all-breed reserve best in show and group show best in show winner Ch Allmark Fifth Avenue. Her second litter involved a journey to Italy where she produced another cc winner. And yet another from the herding group is in seventh place, the Malinois Bonvivont Ombrage at Belsharose, bred by Jan Ralph by Bonviants C’est Moi Sabrefield ex the Belgian import Chiraze du Terril des Loups avec Bonvivant and owned by Debra and Paul Lloyd. And yet another herding is in eighth place and that’s the Great Pyrenees Ch Gillandant Annie Oakley, bred and owned by Gill Pollard and sired by former Top Stud Dog Ch Shanlimore Midnight Cowboy ex Ch Gillandant Krystaleen. She herself won a cc at the breed club show in 2012. The top Pyrenean for 2012 Ch Gillandant Rockafella was one of her progeny. The leader of the working group is the Portugese Water Dog Bregantia Funky Diva, bred and owned by Rachel Redden and Ruth Bussell, by Rarjo the Prodigy ex Breghantia Oriana. She was the dam of the breed record holder Ch Rarjo’s She’s The One. There are two bitches who share the tenth place. The Finnish Spitz Ch Toveri Samppanja herself won a cc during 2012. She is owned by The Thompson family and Angela Cavill. Bred of course by Angela and Dave Cavill and from two of their ch’s, Ch Toveri Ville and Ch Toveri Pirtea from Santasepon. The Welsh Springer Spaniel Weslave Hope For The Future for Glenbrows was bred by John and Joy Hartley by Haregate Rue ex Sh Ch Ferndel Cameo on Weslave, and is owned by Tim & Honor Harrison. Top non sporting, and yet another top kennel who produces ch after ch, is the Akita Echo Stars Portrait at Redwitch, owned by Dave and Jenny Killilea and Arlene Clure and bred from two Redwitch exports in Sweden by Mirko Lunden, by Ch/Fin/Sw/Norw Ch Redwitch The Heat Is On ex Sw Ch Redwitch Pardon Me Boys. The Terrier group is led by the Bedlington Ch Bisbee Benvenuto bred and owned by Dorothy Owen by Ch Rathsrigg Ranolph ex Ch Josoll Juliana by Bisbee. Top toy brood is from another line of bitches which has featured here frequently down the generations. She is the Miniature Pinscher Ch Impala Chase The Sun to Vardenais, owned by Aileen Coull and bred by Sue Burns by Ch Impala Johnny Angel ex Ch Hawkesflight In The Pink at Impala. Indeed she is the third generation to take this award following her dam and grand-dam Ch Viva Forever at Hawkesflight.

paign would be expensive but the cost of sitting back waiting for a fair debate with well-heeled extremist organizations may be too steep for dog lovers and breeders. As Rick Berman, the lobbyist behind HumaneWatch.org, once told 60 Minutes correspondent Morley Safer, “There’s no sense in putting out a 17 page scientific report that nobody will read. So, I put out a 30 second commercial that makes the point.” There has been a shift in the way the world communicates, and the AKC has rightly ramped up its online presence and firmly established a large, growing network through social media. In this year’s Director’s Questionnaire, Chairman Kalter said, “The best source of credible information for the people we must reach is not traditional media, like TV or print; it is, in fact, social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, plus You Tube.” But more traditional media outlets shouldn’t be shunned entirely. It’s easy to “like” the AKC on Facebook, as nearly 114,000 people have done, but it’s difficult to win converts to register or purchase purebred dogs after they’ve been inundated with anti-purebred dog messages from animal rights extremists. Chairman Kalter’s response to the Times article landed in some 1.7 million email inboxes but how many of those went into spam filters or were deleted without being read? Chances are if your name is on that email list, you’re already a supporter of the AKC. But more folks and new blood are needed in the fold to help combat the deep pockets and long tentacles of the AR extremists and traditional media can still be effective in reaching them. Gone are the AKC’s ads that used to regularly grace the pages of the Sunday NY Times Magazine (could the subsequent negative reportage on the AKC and purebred dog breeders in the NYT possibly be a consequence?), Parade magazine, USA Weekend magazine, Better Homes and Gardens, Parenting and Oprah magazines. Ditto the AKC “Words,” “Beyond” and “Superstars” commercials that used to air on television. A glance at the AKC’s archive of public service announcements, television commercials and magazine advertisement campaigns reveals that there hasn’t been one since 2008. Meanwhile, the animal rights folks seem to be continuously able to afford to trot out A and B list celebrities and songwriters to drum up support and solicit donations, filling the airwaves and grabbing headlines. When asked if the AKC was considering finding a 96 Dog News
similar celebrity spokesperson Chairman Kalter replied, “We have given, and continue to give, a great deal of consideration to utilizing a celebrity to promote purebred dogs and responsible dog ownership. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find that intersection of a meaningful personality who is motivating and is also affordable.” When Alan Kalter was named the Chairman of the Board it was widely held that his extensive experience in advertising would propel the AKC’s image in the public eye and effectively market the AKC brand. Lately it seems that the only traditional media coverage the AKC has received has been negative and the only time its ‘brand’ mentioned was in conjunction with chicken jerky treats that may be making dogs sick. It’s hoped that Chairman Kalter’s vision for the future bodes well for the AKC, its breeders and constituents. Perhaps not all areas of the master plan to shore up registrations and promote the value of its breeders and dogs have been fully revealed, but the AKC needs to do more than preach to the choir in order to sustain its registry.
M
eanwhile, as The akc was Taking iT on The chin from the Times’ hatchet job during Westminster week, its Government Relations Department was performing business as usual. Adding injury to insult, while the AKC was spinning damage control the GR Dept. was fighting Assembly Bill 1204 in NY, which would ban the practice of debarking. It’s easy to understand how the kneejerk reaction to ban such procedures come about. AR zealots spin the “abuse” card and the general public jumps on the bandwagon, but debarking is a safe procedure when performed by a qualified veterinarian that softens a dog’s bark. It is often a last-ditch effort that dog owners turn to in order to keep their pets. It must remain an option for dog owners, especially in New York City, where so many dogs live in apartment buildings. Would the animal rights extremists rather see healthy dogs euthanized than have their barks softened? While the second day of breed judging was getting underway at the Piers, the AKC GR Dept. was also keeping tabs on the Committee hearing in Albany, NY for Assembly Bill 740, which seeks to regulate “pet dealers.” A pet dealer is defined as one who sells nine or more dogs per year. This superfluous law would allow for strict, overly burdensome regulations that cannot be less stringent than state law for those that meet this definition. Unfortunately, both of these bills advanced. Business as usual indeed.

tention. The dogs used their white bushy tipped tail to entice and lure the ducks to follow. The dog would wave in and out of blinds and the curious ducks would follow further into the trap, the hunter is already there to block the way with nets. To be able to stimulate the interest of the ducks without barking or making a sound, the dog has to be cunning and self confident. This can be a difficult task as the ducks would not chase the dog. The captured ducks are either killed for the table or given for ornithological research. This is a self-confident, lively and agile breed, good natured, faithful, persevering, always alert, but not noisy at all. The breed is friendly with children and other pets. Besides hunting the dog is taught to find and kill vermin, therefore needs to be keen, swift and tough. This is a true sporting dog, attentive, energetic and always ready for work. These dogs are very attractive white with red or orange patches, and their unique coat would take two years to mature fully. A very distinct feature of the dog is the so called earrings, which are long black tips on the dog’s ears. Not all Kooikers have earrings. The early breeders used dogs with a lot of black coat in the hope that the pups would have earrings, but the result was

black and white and tricolored Kooikers. Unfortunately these dogs did not meet the standard, and were disqualified from the conformation shows. Nederlandse Kooikerhondjes appear in history as early as the 16th and 17th centuries, but did not become an officially recognized breed in Europe until 1966. The two World Wars were harmful for the NK’s population which almost disappeared, but due the efforts of Baroness Van Hardenbroek van Ammerstol, in the beginning of the WWII (1942) its survival was guaranteed. The Baroness gave a picture of the type of dog she was looking for to a peddler and asked him to look out for such dogs. At a farm in the province of Friesland he found the bitch now well known as Tommy who became the founding bitch of the Kooikerhondje. In 1966 the Raad van Beheer (the Dutch Kennel Club) adopted the breed and in 1971 it was officially recognized. the KooIKerhondje Is a harmonIously buIlt orange-red parti-colored small sporting dog of almost square body proportions. He moves with his head held high; in action the well-feathered waving tail is carried level with, or above the top line. The ears have black hair at the tip, the so-called earrings. The dog is presented with a natural, untrimmed coat. The length of the body from the point of the shoulder to the point of the buttocks may be slightly longer than the height at the withers. Skull and muzzle are of about equal length. The head is of moderate length, fitting in with the general appearance, clean-cut, with flowing lines. The tail’s last vertebra should reach the hock joint. The gait should be flowing and springy, well extended, with good drive. The coat is of medium length, slightly wavy or straight and close lying. Soft hair, and well-developed undercoat with distinct patches of clear orangered color on pure white although a few small spots on the legs are accepted. The orange-red color should be predominant. Some black hair intermingling with the orange-red color and a slight form of ticking are accepted but less desirable. The ideal height (measured at the withers) for males is 15.7 in. (40 cms.), and for females 15 in (38 cms.) They are only now gaining recognition and visibility in North America thanks to their dedicated fans of the Kooikerhondje Club of the USA, and the Kooikerhondje Society of America (KSA). Our dear readers can find the complete standard at the FCI’s breeds section, or at the K.C.of USA, and the K.S.A.

personnel which is something perhaps some of the hired dog personnel would be wise to practice-certainly the Harry Miller parking team and crowd control people were as helpful as could be and nicer than ever-who does that leave one to deal with?? Figure it out yourself. By three pm breed winners began to leave for the Garden and at four all other dogs were able to leave in a minimum of anxiety and stress. Crowds were in the area of 15,000 each day at the Piers so certainly support for midweek independent shows was not missing at Westminster where the evening crowds were even larger and more eyepopping than ever. It sure does look as though the ten-year contract the Big W signed for the Piers was a good deal for all concerned. Monday night at the Garden produced the usual histrionics although I must say that I thought certain sight hound breeds suffered immeasurably by one judge in particular reducing the quality of those dogs to the point in case you had not noticed that all four dogs placed in the Hound Group were scent not sight hounds. The other three Groups were basically very competitive with the highlight of course being the awarding of a class dog--Bred by at that--the Group. While the Old English looked very competitive I am not commenting about his apparent virtues and quality but the fact that with this win at Westminster which reintroduced the class dog it should serve to encourage more class competitors next year as well. The basic total environment of the Piers will result in more class competition you watch and see--next year too!! Then of course onto the TAKE THE LEAD PARTY which was enjoyable and extremely well-attended. It puzzles me how some people complain about the lateness of the Theatre party benefit which is held on a Friday night but happily attend until the wee hours TTL and have to be at the Big W the next morning or same day as it were!!! Tuesday am back to an even more crowded Pier spectator ways and same basic routine with exhibitors and handlers even more relaxed than the day before since most of us now had some idea as to how the routine worked. Elevator glitches going from Pier to Pier hopefully will be gone by next year as both an escalator and elevator were out of service due to Sandy as I understood it.

on Tuesday although by then ASPCA got its comeuppance from Westminster officials and stopped handing out copies of the obnoxious NYT article of Sunday Feb 10-personally I found the 2/11 NYT article even more insulting than that of Sunday’s as it attacked personally the lifestyle of one person without having checked facts or traditions within the sport--it was not only bad taste but very poor journalism as far as I was concerned. And don’t worry I called the reporter up and told her so. Not that it accomplished anything but it made me feel better. Could not have been happier with the WSJ report on DOG NEWS--that was for sure. Throughout both days there was live streaming of the breeds followed by some--Andrew Brace reports on that in this issue as well. Tuesday night no real great surprises for me anyways-once I heard last years Terrier winner was coming I thought it would be in there for sure--which it was more than in there-it won the group for the second year in a row. The other new dog for me to see was the Portie which I had heard a lot about and was not disappointed in at all as it swept to the Working Group Blue. The final line-up was exciting and top notch and of course little Joey has been a favorite of mine from the first time I ever saw him. Ernesto of course is top notch and one of the most deserving and hardest workers there is while Tina Truesdale’s long history in dogs is well documented for sure. And it’s even nicer when friends get that kind of a win isn’t it!!! Michael Dougherty is also a good friend whose father too was a friend so it was sort of like a family win-win affair for me. Too bad those lady reporters of the NYT fail to understand the progression and foundations upon which our sport is built and turn what are obvious, long, hard earned commitments to the breeding of dogs into a sub-culture they neither understand nor made an attempt to understand. The only thing they are interested in is causing a sensation--THE FACTS BE DAMNED. This was more than just another Westminster-this was an historic step forward for the sport of the dog and be sure to thank both Sean and Tom for delivering so expertly the next time you see them. I would be remiss to not mention the passing of Diana Powers, mother of Board Member Tom Powers. Mrs. Powers was one of the true ladies of our sport, a grande dame in every sense of the word and a good friend to me. Although I have not seen her for the last year or so whenever she came to a California show I sought her out and my heartfelt sympathies go to Tom and his wife Lani. 102 Dog News

Letters To The Editor LATE ANSWERS TO LAST WEEK’S QUESTION OF THE WEEK,
How did you think the new set-up for Westminster worked out? HANS KAbEL
i wish i could give the Westminster Kennel Club thumbs up. they did try their best. it is not a workable situation. HELmA WEEKS
it was very good. the rings at the piers were spacious, the dogs could be seen in natural light and the benching looked good. the evenings at the garden were as exciting as ever. Westminster is to be commended for its efforts to provide transport from midtown to the piers and for having lots of personnel at the piers “guiding” people to the elevators, etc. it was also nice to see the walls decorated with the Westminster emblem and the past winners. the extensive carpeting made walking and standing easier. i am sure the show will be fine-tuned and it will be an even better experience next year. DEb SHINDLE
generally speaking, i think the new set up was fabulosious. the pier benching and rings were more spacious. the conversion of the pier with draping, carpet, signage and wall coverage was very garden like. our multi breed benching area was too good to be true. ex pens just behind the curtain, rings in front of us and food and restrooms to the side. the early release time for breed winners and the provision of a shuttle bus for breed winners was great. the 5pm release time for everyone else was also helpful. the benching and spectators was worse than usual. they were so close to the wonderful Westminster provided grooming tables you couldn’t groom your dog and the spectators couldn’t move. roping off a walking aisle, would be helpful to all. showing in the last group on monday night was an interesting experience as far as catching the shuttle bus to the piers. brian martin almost witnessed a “Jewish princess” tantrum in action, as i was sure the shuttle forgot us and had wheeled back to the garden to ask 20 questions about where, why, who, when it showed up. When we got to the pier, those going back to hotels by msg, were smart enough to ask the shuttle to wait for them. i was staying close to the pier and planned to catch a cab. When we arrived in the pier at 11:50, the guard said the doors would be locked in 10 minutes. barely enough time to feed my dog and luckily i had exed her at msg. behind me was nina fetter who absolutely would not accept 10’, and i heard she stayed until she was done at 1:15 am. meanwhile, i walk out the one unchained door by pier 92 and see that the road where the cabs come in, is closed off at night. there was a guard who pointed me to the main road with instructions to flag down a cab, the opposite direction of my hotel. i chose to walk to the main road in the same direction of my hotel. plenty of cars, no cabs. in fact no cabs until i had walked to a block from my hotel. but i loVeD tHe purple rubber banDs!
Kennel Club response to efra seleCt Committee report on Dog Control anD Welfare he Kennel Club has today broadly welcomed the report published by the environment, food and rural affairs (efra) select Committee, which aims to reduce dog attacks and improve dog welfare, but rues the missed opportunity to take a tougher stance on puppy farmers. the Kennel Club agrees with many of the recommendations including a comprehensive consolidation of the legislation relating to dangerous dogs and the introduction of Dog Control notices as introduced in the Control of Dogs (scotland) act 2010. it also fully agrees with the need for agencies responsible for enforcing dog control legislation, including the police and local authorities, to provide their staff with full training in dog welfare and control practices. Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club secretary, said: “the current Dangerous Dogs act is one of the worst and most ineffective pieces of legislation in history. We are pleased that the committee has recognised the huge benefits associated with microchipping and we commend the government in their decision to make this compulsory, which the Kennel Club has long been campaigning for. We are keen to help Defra to take this forward. “We agree that Dog Control notices are vital in preventing serious dog related incidents by dealing with the owners of dogs that are out of control at the earliest signs of a problem. However, we are disappointed that it is recommended that the secretary of state be given the power to ban more breeds deemed to have aggressive characteristics. any dog can be dangerous in the wrong hands and the focus on banning certain breeds continues an outdated approach that has been proven to be ineffective and in many cases counterproductive, by turning banned breeds into status symbols.” in relation to dog breeding recommendations in the report the Kennel Club fully supports recommendations for Defra to develop a voluntary Code of practice to which internet sites offering dogs or puppies for sale should adhere. the Kennel Club, as a member of the pet advertising advisory group (paag), has already been working with advertisers towards developing such a code and offers advice and minimum standards to publishers and advertising websites. the Kennel Club is also educating puppy buyers about how to spot an irresponsible breeder.

In fact, we had a bit of an issue with Mystic piles of soft comforters. But then again, show me a dog that doesn’t in the beginning as a scent hurdle dog. She was always able to identify like these things,” said Vikki Landes, who owns Zuli (DFolly Lazuli Di which was her dumbbell and she had no problems running and jumping Lapis SGRC SOR) that won the 2011 Large Gazehound Racing Asthe hurdles but she absolutely refused to bring the dumbbell back over the sociation national and was second in the National Oval Track Racing hurdles. But with patience and making sure that training stayed fun, she Association’s national along with several others that are conformafinally got the idea. Happily for both of us, I found a training place that is tion champion Italian Greyhounds that are also champions or titled quite open-minded about all breeds and they have started offering agility in straight or oval track racing. classes specifically for small dogs.” The bias against the breed as a performance or racing dog can One of the major problems in getting more Italian Greyhounds involved be a real deterrent to IG owners who want to try these sports, accordin dog sports are fears harbored by their owners according to Karen Barthing to Terri Jones. “When we first started entering the LGRA events, en-Mantie whose IG Olive (Ch Coachwynns Kalamata CDX RAE OA OAJ AXP we were snubbed by other breed owners. Until they saw that my dog NJP2 NFP JOR GRC) has titles in conformation, obedience, rally, agility and was focused and athletic, they were viewed as just toys. Now they are both oval track and straight track racing. “There are a lot of owners that respected and the success my dogs have had has enabled other IG might want to compete but they think the dog will get hurt, or the dog is owners to enter the sport without having to endure the ridicule. But too small, or their dog doesn’t like other dogs. Too many owners throw up this can be a huge deterrent to owners. If they are subjected to ridicule roadblocks in their own minds. Italian Greyhounds are intelligent. If they in the beginning, they tend to not want to participate in that sport. have the correct conformation, they can do a great many of the dog sports. Also, as is the case with most dog sports, you can’t bring your dog to Although they can be clowns, they really do want to please you.” an event and expect them to do well without training. We have tried three different running events—straight track racing, oval track racing and lure coursing and all require training or your dog won’t know what to do and won’t follow the rules. You can’t go to these events once a year. The dog has to go frequently enough to reinforce what the dog has learned. One thing about Italian Greyhounds is that they are both smart and very opinionated. They learn quickly which makes lure coursing more difficult than straight track racing because they can quickly figure out how to cheat. Snoopy (Count Snoopy von Edison SGRC 17 SC CGC VC) excels in straight track events but we have been training for years to be competitive in oval track racing. It’s basically the same thing but just different enough so he’s great at one and cheats at the other. We also had to give up on lure coursing after he got his senior courser title because he had cheating down pat and it was a problem that we were never able to fix. This is a smart breed and they remember!” said Terri Jones. Fiona Boulet has an unusual combination in that her dog is a conformation champion and has a scent hurdle racing title. This growing sport in Canada is a relay race with four dogs on a team. Each dog jumps four hurdles, then must find and pick up its own scented dumbbell from a box containing all four dumbbells and re-

ne iSSue that SurfaceS with regularity for thoSe ig ownerS interested in performance sports is that with many dogs, traditional training techniques are ineffective. “Italian Greyhounds are really not bred for performance sports,” said Hesterly. “What this means is that you can’t usually use accepted training methods with them. It takes a lot of patience, a lot of training and you can’t drill the same thing over and over again. When my dogs get something right, we have a party, take a break and then move on to something different. If I ask Lexi to keep repeating an exercise after she has done it correctly, she will start to change it and try different things.” A significant problem facing the breed is its growing popularity. “With no doggy odor and their funny, cute personalities, it is rare that folks are not smitten with them,” said Kennedy. “But when a breed becomes popular, it ends up in puppy mills or volume breeders and these people do not do the health testing, genetic diversity research that good breeders do. With our small gene pool, popularity could easily make this rather healthy breed very unhealthy. Good breeders stand behind their pups for the rest of the dog’s life and will take that pup back anytime. Pups from reputable breeders are not the ones that wind up in shelters or rescue.” Dog News 119

Letters To The Editor Continued FRoM page 111
professor steve Dean, Kennel Club Chairman, said: “We welcome the recommendations that will see a Code of practice to improve the standards for online sites selling puppies. as more and more people buy puppies over the internet, which is an open invitation for rogue dealers to trade anonymously, we desperately need grass roots action to inform people about how to buy responsibly. the bottom line is that if people do not buy from irresponsible breeders, they will no longer be able to trade. “We regret that the committee has missed an opportunity to call for legislation requiring all dog breeders to comply with standards similar to those followed by Kennel Club assured breeders. two thirds of dogs are bred outside of the Kennel Club registration system and action needs to be taken to regulate these breeders. those who register with the Kennel Club are bound by our Code of ethics but we need the government to get tough on certain principles, such as mandatory health testing, before we can expect those outside our assured breeder scheme to fall in line with concepts, such as mandatory health testing. the requirements of our assured breeder scheme can only be extended when dog breeders are required by law to breed to the same standards.” the Kennel Club shares the efra Committee’s concern about the breeding of dogs with health problems. However, the Kennel Club’s breed standards, which are a picture in words describing a breed’s look and temperament, are already reviewed four times a year with the veterinary profession and other experts and are worded to make it clear that exaggerations are unacceptable. there was also an extensive review in 2009, again with input from veterinary surgeons, to ensure that breed standards demand that health must always come first. professor Dean continued: “a breed standard only influences those who breed pedigree dogs under the Kennel Club umbrella, and they are only really relevant to those who show their dogs. further changes to breed standards would therefore have no impact on those who breed irresponsibly such as puppy farmers or breeders of ‘designer crossbreeds’ and status dogs, who breed outside the Kennel Club’s influence and often with no regard to the consequences of their actions and potential health risks.
“Currently the Kennel Club’s assured breeder scheme is the only active scheme which sets standards for and regularly monitors dog breeders in this country. meanwhile, puppy farmers and other breeders outside the Kennel Club’s fold are essentially unregulated and that’s where we continue to have a massive welfare problem. We recognise that it is difficult to tackle those who are unregistered and not easy to trace, but we would like to see the government take action and address the root of the issue, but efra has failed to recommend this.” Department for environment, food and rural affairs (Defra) parliamentary under-secretary of state, lord de mauley, who gave evidence during the inquiry, cited the “impressive work” being undertaken by the Kennel Club in relation to pedigree dog breeding. lord de mauley highlighted his department’s view that at present no additional regulation was necessary by government in relation to dog breeding and instead encouraged independent schemes that promote good breeding practices. laura Quickfall london, england
