Editorial

Perhaps the greatest success of any one Department within AKC’s organizational chart has been the tracking work of Sheila Goffe and her staff of the Government Relations Department in keeping all facets of dog organizations aware of what is going on with dog legislation be it federal, state or local. AKC issues alerts about bills that affect dog owners and breeders but they obviously cannot hold your hand about every bill that is introduced on every level of every legislature. Stopping a bill before it reaches a critical stage and the ability to distinguish between acceptable changes and those that are legitimate changes must be implemented. These pages believe that the AKC’s Government Relations Department has done an excellent job in keeping clubs and state federations advised of the merits and faults of these bills and in making appropriate changes when necessary. The constituency wildly supports most of this Committees work with breed parent clubs and other groups within AKC. Someone who is as knowledgeable about the consequences of these bills as is Ms. Goffe and her staff must be encouraged to keep their independent thought away from the spin makers at AKC who may or may not have the background and independence of thought as those involved with this Committee. There are literally hundreds of bills concerning dogs in the U.S. each year. It’s up to local kennel clubs and breed clubs with the assistance of an independent AKC Government Relations Department to do this job and not to have this department become a part of what sometimes can be a very questionable Public Relations Operation.

AKC’S GOVERNMENT RELATIONS DEPARTMENT

It certainly came as a major surprise to these pages when Ron Menaker and Alan Kalter decided to do battle directly for the position of Board Chairman after the Delegate vote. On most every level these pages had been advised this would not occur but a major shift in strategy obviously took place with Ron/Carl overwhelming the Alan/Charlie team. This rejection of the overall philosophy of the Kalter Boards that seemed to stress social media and the sale of random doggy items above the Mission Statement of AKC was not acceptable to the majority of the Delegates who came to vote in Newark. The number of Delegates participating too was disappointing, as the majority needed to elect the new Board members was in the 180 area, as opposed to the usual 220 or 240 needed to elect. The rejection too of Bob Amen, Mr. Kalter’s right hand man on the Board by the Delegates while not a total surprise, since the Board’s Nominating Committee failed to support his quest for re-election was only re-emphasized when Mr. Amen immediately resigned his delegate seat after the results were heard! Makes one question his true loyalty and desire to serve AKC with which to begin, doesn’t it? Whether or not Ron Menaker will be able to step in and if not turn things around at least help redefine and implement the goals of AKC to include not only the outside social media developments but to include the constituency as well into the place of those social media proponents remains to be seen. Hopefully the Board will regroup and reclaim its rightful leadership role and the Delegate Committees will become subordinate to these Committees as well. Of course under the Kalter regime the exact opposite was permitted to occur. Furthermore it is hoped that the morale factor certainly in Raleigh, which has reached record lows, will be reversed with recognition and visits from both New York’s Staff and the Board Chairman as well.

A SURPRISING HEAD-TO-HEAD BATTLE

The first statewide National Purebred Dog is happily taking place in Colorado on May 1. It is written about in detail in this week’s issue and what a pleasant and these pages may add important idea to put through at this point in time! One would have hoped hat AKC’s Public Relations Department and/or its highly paid PR firm the Edelman Company had come up with the idea first but no an individual longtime Fancier, Susi Szeremy, with the help of a group of fellow Coloradoans promoted this concept, which has a positive affect on all of us and hopefully will now be implemented in other States as well. This idea takes on the animal rightists of the world and tells them that breeders love and care for their purebred dogs and are proud of them as well. What with Pedigree Petcare catering primarily to the mixed breed dogs of the world this is a major statement of support. Let’s all join in and tout this idea and try to get it implemented wherever we live as well.

A PURE BRED DOG DAY IN COLORADO

These pages have elected not to publish Mr. Kalter’s last Chairman’s Report due to the number of inaccuracies contained therein. Released after his defeat for Board Chair in one of his selective reportage moods since he did not release a monthly Chairman’s Report you Despite the screaming headlines of the may be able to find it on British dailies aped by some of the American AKC’s Web Site.

corrections were seen except for a small paragraph in the London Times. It is truly amazing the way anything negative is reported be it confirmed or not as pure fact and once the facts come in the initial reports are neither denied nor reversed. The Crufts Committee headed by Caroline Kisko in this matter handled the incident calmly and with a sense of concern for the poisoned dog but never relented asking the public to wait for the facts to be determined. Well in came the facts and to the credit of Mrs. Kisko her demeanor prevailed and none of the dogs were taken ill at Crufts either. So much for rumors being blown into incorrect fantasy situations.

You Yourvet

By Merry Fitzgerald, DVM.

Can I give Pepto-Bismol to my dog?

Yes, Pepto-Bismol (bismuth subsalicylate) can be given to dogs as a stomach protectant/ coating agent and as a treatment for diarrhea. The bismuth component is thought to possess the protectant, anti-toxic and mild antibacterial properties. Salicylates, the main ingredient in aspirin, contribute anti-inflammatory actions that relieve the clinical signs and discomfort of diarrhea. Kaopectate can also be used to treat indigestion and mild diarrhea. The original active ingredients were kaolinite (an absorbent) and pectin (an emollient or soothing agent). In 2004, Kaopectate changed its formulation to bismuth subsalicylate, the same as PeptoBismol and other trade names. The recommended dosage for Pepto-Bismol is a range from .25mL/kg body weight (.1 mL per pound) orally every 4-6 hours up to 2 mL/kg (1 mL per pound) every 6-8 hours. The medication should

not be given for more than 5 days. This dose is for the liquid form, which is a 17.5 mg/mL (1.75%) suspension. The tablet form of this medication is not recommended for use in dogs. Tablets can remain in the stomach for hours and dissolve very slowly, thus decreasing their effectiveness. It is important to advise your veterinarian if you have given your dog either the tablet or liquid form of this drug. The bismuth is radiopague, meaning it appears like metal on an x-ray and can be mistaken for a foreign body. Any product containing salicylate should be used with caution in dogs with preexisting bleeding disorders. In addition, proper fluid and electrolyte therapy is important when treating diarrhea. Be aware that bismuth subsalicylate medications can cause a change in the color of the stool to a gray-black or greenish black.

My pregnant bitch is about to whelp. What are some signs of trouble? The time leading up to whelping is nerve-racking, indeed. If you did ovulation timing for the breedings, you can use these levels to calculate the whelping date. The date will be 65 days, plus or minus one day, from the date the progesterone level was 2.0 ng/ mL and continued to rise. If your bitch has gone beyond this time frame with no sign of whelping, there is likely a problem. Another reliable indicator is the bitchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body temperature. Normal temperature in a dog is 100o to 102o F. Prior to delivery, the body temperature will drop to approximately 98o F and then return to the normal range. If whelping does not begin within 12-24 hours after this temperature drop, there could be a problem. Vaginal discharge that is clear or slightly cloudy is normal in the days before whelping. However, darker colored vaginal discharge is cause for concern. Dark green discharge is evidence of placental separation. If this occurs too early, such as day 53-56, the bitch may be going into labor early and the puppies may be stillborn. This requires immediate attention by a veterinarian familiar with reproductive medicine. Continued on page 52

Views From A Delegate By Johnny Shoemaker

As a young child ages and ages ago, I was very shy and did not speak up very much in class but sat back in my desk chair and listened.

s the years passed and I entered the work field I began to let my voice be heard. When I became a Delegate eight years ago, I do not think I spoke very much except to those I knew at the meeting. That has now changed much to the displeasure of some Delegates but to much delight to other Delegates. There was recently a posting by a new Delegate on the DelegateL posting that he/she was told by a former Delegate to just sit and listen for the first few years as a Delegate and then begin to speak up. To me that was a ridiculous statement and one that is very damaging to our new Delegates. As a Delegate to the AKC you are representing your club and anything that your club wishes you to ask of the Delegate body and or Board should be asked without feeling that you do not have a voice. When I mentor new Delegates I always tell them when you have a question, concern or a better way to do something, please let the Delegate body know. One of my past mentees, Steven Hamblin, Pacific Coast Pekingese Club, is helping with the project with the Parent Club Committee, on ways to increase club membership. He is now heading that effort and any Delegate who has a good suggestion should contact Steven at dancinglionpekingese@ gmail.com with ways that their club has increased membership. Recently, I posted to the DelegateL a question directed to those candidates who were running for the AKC Board. That question and statement was: “As I am very interested in who gets elected to the Board of the 18 Dog News

AKC, I have a question I would like to ask of all of those running for the Board in the upcoming election. This is very important in regards to the way my club would wish me to vote and also would be of interest to the other Delegates. Who will you be voting for the position of Chairman of the Board? Would you vote for the current Chairman or for others that may be running? I know that this could be a delicate subject but I feel that if you’re a Board member you should have a pretty good idea of who you would like to see as your Chairman and should have the courage and conviction to voice your choice.” I also asked the Board candidates how they would vote on opt-in for clubs on the NOHS if and when it came up for a vote by the Board. This was also published as a Letter to the Editor in Dog News. One of the current Board members (RA) did respond with a non answer: “I think it is inappropriate for me to indicate how I would vote on a motion that has not yet been made, but might come up at some future Board meeting.” (This was a non-answer to how he responded on how he would vote on the opt-in for the NOHS-author) . This also applies to your question on the vote for Chairman of the Board at the March meeting: we do not yet know who is going to be nominated. (Everyone knew the possible two candidates!-author) I hope you bring this question up at the March Caucus, so we can broaden the discussion.” Needless to say I did ask at the Caucus at the March meeting and this is what happened. After asking the question, I directed the question first to Mr. Steven Gladstone, who answered that he would vote for Ronald Menaker. The next person to answer was Dr. Thomas M Davies, who also responded (after stating that I should have asked “Would

you vote for Alan Kalter or Ronald Menaker?”) that he would vote for Ronald Menaker and the third person to answer was Dr. Carmen L Battaglia, who also said he would vote for Ronald Menaker. The other two candidates, Robert Amen and Dr. Gregory J Paveza, basically stated that it would depend on who was running and how they answered the questions asked of them at the Board meeting before the election for Chairman. To me and only speaking for myself those last two answers from Mr. Amen and Dr. Paveza did not answer the question as everyone knew who was going to run and we as Delegates do not need any candidates for the Board who do not have the power of their conviction to speak up on as simple a question as that. After I had asked the question of the candidates regarding how they would vote for the Chairman, there were some of the Delegates in the Caucus I heard that did not think that I should have asked that question. I respond to those Delegates that this is what is wrong with our Delegate body. If we do not ask we are not fully informed of what these candidates will do….will they be independently minded and vote for what they believe is best for our Sport or will they vote for what someone else tells them to vote or for the status quo? This applies to all of the Delegates…. we do have a voice and it should be heard. The following is a press release of the results of the election of the AKC Board of Directors Class of 2019: At the Annual Meeting of the American Kennel Club on March 10, 2015, the AKC Board of Directors Class of 2019 was elected. The three Directors elected were: • Dr. Carmen L Battaglia, Delegate from the German Shepherd Dog Club of America • Dr. Thomas M. Davies, Delegate from the Springfield Kennel Club, Inc. • Steven D. Gladstone, Delegate from the Waterloo Kennel Club, Inc. In addition, Ronald H. Menaker (Memphis Kennel Club, Inc.) was elected as the Chairman of the Board and Carl C. Ashby 111 (United States Kerry Blue Terrier Club, Inc.) was elected as the Vice Chairman of the Board at a meeting of the AKC Board of Directors, convened after the Delegate Meeting. The Board of Directors of the American Kennel Club is also pleased to announce the re-election of executive officers Dennis B. Sprung (President and Chief Executive Officer), James P. Crowley (Executive Secretary), and Joseph Baffuto (Chief Financial Officer). Continued on page 60

Question of the week By Matthew H. Stander

I always thought a judge at a dog show was rewarding the dog and not the handler. If that premise is correct why should anyone ask for a placement to be taken away from the dog because they thought the handler mistreated the exhibit? Obviously I am referring to the Crufts petition in which 80,000 people protested the handler’s method of exhibiting her charge during Crufts and asked for the dog to be stripped of its title. The question of the week is: Do you think the handler mistreated the exhibit and should the title be taken away from the dog?

22 Dog News

R. William Taylor

Not having seen the incident on television or computer perhaps I am not qualified but I feel I can still make a comment if the Scottie was handled in the way it would have been in past years and indeed as it was obviously done at Crufts. I am assuming the complaints were made that the Scottie was picked up by his tail and the handler’s other hand was under the dog’s chin. I have seen it when the dog was picked up by the nape of his neck. This was expected when table Terriers were put on the table and this regular practice posed no harm and little discomfort. It was the normal thing to do. NO, I do not think the handler mishandled the exhibit and NO, the title should not be taken away from the dog. Today, people are so squeamish and of course egged on by the “good?” doers. In my own breed, Pekingese in days long past were taken into the ring by the exhibitors on their lead. No one ever got down on their knees. When asked to put their dog on the table the exhibitor, often an elderly lady merely bent down, picked the Pekingese up by the nape of his neck and put him or her on the table. It did not hurt the dog as he was used to it and it was convenient for the handler. Imagine what a fuss that would make if it was the practice today.

Bob Vandiver

I didn’t see the event. However, in the event of blatant mistreatment of the dog, I would be inclined to let the placement stand for the dog, but punish the real offender ... the handler.

Elizabeth H. Neff

Absolutely NOT! The handler did a fabulous job presenting her dog, AND clearly the judge did not have any problem with it so the decision should stand. What happened to considering the function of each breed rather than the whims of the AR people? The Kennel Club should be backing her up not bending to pressure. Sadly they have a history of folding under pressure just like they have done with the docking ban.

Deborah Cooper

This is an example of allowing animal activists and those that have no clue about our sport to rule the roost!!! While there needs to be a happy medium, and we need to keep these types “at bay” it is also our obligation to continue to try to educate them. Caving to their ignorance is NOT educating them, nor is it at all healthy for our sport. Of COURSE there was NO mistreatment here: the handler showed the Scotty in the manner it was accustomed to be shown, and it was VERY obvious the wonderful bond handler and dog have. The “Kennel Club” continues to

demonstrate lack of control and lack of respect for those of us in the fancy who know what we are doing, breed good dogs, maintain ethical practices and try to keep ahead of the game in keeping the few positives that are left in our sport intact. What makes the most sense is for all of us in the fancy to petition the “Kennel Club” to grow some cohones and take a stand for those that continue to support it.

Ellen Charles

The dog was not mistreated and the title should not be taken away.

Bergit Kabel

There was no mistreating of the animal. So no question regarding taking the win away. But 80,000 signatures by the public is a lot and to educate all these people to understand what we are doing and the reason why we are doing it, this will take some time. We also have to realize that we have people watching us with a magnifying glass. So we have to be careful in the public eye.

Delores Burkholder

No, I absolutely do not think the Scottie was mistreated. We were all taught by our mentors how to pick up a dog by the head and tail, particularly a terrier, to place it on the table. Scotties and other terriers are to be pulled out of holes by their tails when hunting...On another note, I’m reversing my opinion about the

new AKC web site. At first I could use the search engine to go where I needed. Now I get the idiotic “take the tour” and it is a royal pain.

Armando Angelbello

No mistreatment, and No take away. It’s a ridiculous petition, driven by the misguided & misinformed Animal Rights extremists who appear to be winning the battle in the UK, at least as it pertains to the Kennel Club’s reactions in the last few years. Hope that cave-in mentality doesn’t permeate to the USA (AKC). LATE ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S QUESTION OF THE WEEK, What were your initial and overall reactions to the Crufts Dog Show 2015?

LIZ TOBIN

Having been lucky to attend and exhibit at Crufts for many years, I am amazed every visit, how well organized this event is, and how clean the building is, even with over 20,000 + dogs walking through the doors over the four-day event. It’s wonderful to see so many nice dogs in such a good venue, and I personally appreciate the way the Europeans make it a “day” of showing, then spend the rest of the day socializing, while watching other breeds. Tarnishing the weekend, was the Irish Setter passing, and my thoughts go out to those affected. Overall, it was a fun week, and wonderful to see beautiful dogs, and mostly, time spent with good friends!

Good News For Crufts Submitted By Caroline Kisco Kennel Club statement Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club, said: “The Kennel Club’s deepest sympathies go to Jagger’s owners, who have received confirmation that Jagger tragically died from the ingestion of poisoned material, and we ask that their privacy is respected as they grieve for their beloved pet. “There has been a lot of concern about whether the poisoning happened at Crufts and we are now able to reassure all dog lovers who came to Crufts that this could not have been possible and it is highly likely that the poisons, thought to be on a piece of beef, were eaten in Belgium, shortly before Jagger’s death. “We have had confirmation, including from independent toxicologists, that the poisons identified in the toxicology report – carbofuran and aldicarb – are fast acting. Severe clinical symptoms would usually occur within half an hour to three hours. “Considering we are told that Jagger showed the first clinical signs usually associated with these two poisons shortly before his death in Belgium, late on Friday 6th March night, leading to the immediate call for veterinary attention, we must conclude that it is inconceivable that he could have been poisoned at Crufts on Thursday 5th March, some 28 to 36 hours earlier. “Furthermore, the poison is thought to have been given on a piece of beef that was still largely undigested when the autopsy was performed on Saturday 7th March morning, and food is usually absorbed in dogs within six hours. “We must stress that despite reports to the contrary which have caused a lot of concern to dog lovers, absolutely no dog has been shown to have been sick at or after Crufts due to poison ingested at the show, there are no veterinary reports or evidence to support this notion, and 26 Dog News

no official reports of poisoning have been made to the police. “We have a lot of security measures in place to protect the dogs at our show and we continually review our procedures because the welfare and safety of the dogs is our first and main priority. “Regardless of the fact that the poison was not ingested at Crufts a dog has very sadly died and we must now respect the owners’ privacy and give them time to grieve.” Advice to dog owners The Kennel Club has issued general advice to dog owners after the tragedy of Jagger’s death has raised awareness amongst dog owners about the issue of poisoning. Nick Sutton, Health Information Officer at the Kennel Club, said: “Regardless of the specifics surrounding this particular tragic incident, where Jagger’s owners suspect malicious intent, this tragedy has shone the spotlight very firmly on the issue of poisoning. It is important that dog owners know that the majority of poison related deaths and illnesses in dogs in the UK are accidental. Some accidents could potentially be avoided if dog owners were to be aware of the common household and garden items that can be harmful to dogs, including chocolate, raisins, onions, some pesticides and garden plants, detergents and many human medicines and we urge people to read the Kennel Club’s poisons guide, on its website, so that people can be aware of how to avoid the dangers and keep their dogs as safe as possible, to help prevent other tragedies from occurring.” www.thekennelclub.org.uk/media/605397/poisons.pdf A toxicologist’s view Nick Edwards, Senior Information Scientist, Veterinary Poisons Information Service, said: “We understand

that the toxicology report says carbofuran and aldicarb, toxic carbamate pesticides - which are no longer approved for use in the EU - were found. “We would expect the clinical effects, if ingested by a dog, to be rapid in onset; normally between half an hour and three hours. “After this time a combination of clinical effects, if the toxins were taken in sufficient quantities, would likely be present, including weakness, collapse, diarrhoea, slow heart rate, difficulty in breathing and excessive salivation. “From the information available, it would be improbable that the toxins could have been ingested on Thursday 5th March if the first reported clinical effects that led to the call for veterinary help, were around midnight on Friday night. We are told that beef (which was reportedly laced with the carbamates) was still in the stomach during the autopsy on Saturday 7th March. Veterinary experts say that one would expect food of this sort to be digested within about six hours. This suggests that the food was eaten shortly before death.” About Aldicarb and Carbofuran • Aldicarb and carbofuran are both carbimate insecticides which are used in agriculture, but are not approved for use in the EU. • When an animal is exposed to these pesticides they bind to specific enzymes found in the body and stop them from working correctly. These enzymes normally break down acetylcholine, a chemical found naturally in the body, which allows the muscle and nervous system to function correctly. Following poisoning from these insecticides, the faulty enzyme cannot break down acetylcholine, causing it to accumulate and stimulate a number of the bodies receptors. • This stimulation can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, sweating, salivation, weakness, breathing difficulties, fitting, heart problems and sometimes death.

Paying Attention To Legislation By Carlotta Cooper

Navigating the dog world can seem relatively easy when you are new to dogs. There are dog shows (conformation and everything else) and dog clubs. When you are just starting in dogs, you may think that dog clubs exist to put on dog shows. Many people continue to think that dog shows are the purpose of dog clubs for their entire lives. All of that other stuff people talk about at meetings goes in one ear and out the other. Fortunately, some people do pay attention to that other “stuff” that is discussed at meetings. Things are a little more complicated than just shows and clubs, however. There are local kennel clubs (small and large), breed clubs (regional and parent clubs), clubs made up of groups of dogs, state federations of clubs, and even clubs that don’t have conformation dog shows at all – clubs that focus on other dog activities like obedience, agility, and field work. My point is that the more you know about dogs and clubs, the more complex it is. With regards to dog legislation, all of these groups should be paying attention to what’s happening locally and in 30 Dog News

their states. Odds that every club is paying attention to legislation or that they even have a designated person paying attention? Slim. Even if your state has a state federation of dog clubs, for example, if you don’t have a legislative liaison or someone who has been reading the bills introduced into your legislature – and who is knowledgeable about the consequences of the bills – when it comes time for your federation to decide which bills to support and which ones to oppose, your group can make some truly awful mistakes. The same is true with breed parent clubs and other groups. The American Kennel Club provides very good tracking information about bills concerning dogs in state legislatures. You can find it on their Government Relations site, even with the changes in the AKC web site: http://www.cqstatetrack.com/texis/viewrpt/main. html?event=49bfaef9bd Just click on your state to see the bills they are following. AKC will issue an alert about some bills that affect dog owners or breeders when they reach a critical stage, but they cannot hold your hand about every single bill that is

“AKC will issue an alert about some bills that affect dog owners or breeders when they reach a critical stage, but they cannot hold your hand about every single bill that is introduced in the legislature.”

introduced in the legislature. There are literally hundreds of bills concerning dogs in the U.S. each year. It’s up to local kennel clubs, breed clubs, and state federations, as well as hunting clubs and others to stay informed and contact legislators about bills. It’s always better if a bill can be stopped early, before it reaches a critical stage.

your state federation or club has a lobbyist, that’s great. You are ahead of a lot of dog groups and there’s a good chance that legislators will listen to what your lobbyist has to say. But, your lobbyist may not be knowledgeable about dogs. And your lobbyist can’t read minds. Your lobbyist has to depend on what you tell him or her to do. You still have to know and understand the bills in your legislature in order to advise the lobbyist on what you want them to do. Unless you are working with a group like the Cavalry Group or MoFed, which have lobbyists that know animal issues better than almost anyone, you need to know and understand the proposed legislation so you can give your lobbyist directions. If your group doesn’t have a lobbyist, don’t feel bad. Most dog groups don’t. You can still make a good impression on your legislators as long as you know the legislation well and can discuss it with them knowledgeably. But you have to know the bills. What you don’t want to happen is to call together a group meeting where no one present has read the bills and then you decide which ones to support and oppose based on which ones “sound good.” You cannot make decisions about legislation in half an hour, especially if no one has read the bills. “Feel good” legislation often leads to some of the worst laws. You need to weigh legislation by considering the worst possible consequences. What would happen in the worst-case scenario? What if it happened to you?

Here are some suggestions for clubs and state federations when they are considering legislation: • Designate people to be in charge of legislation, whether you call them legislative liaisons or not. Read and understand the proposed legislation. • Educate people about the issues, whether it is an animal abuser registry, a commercial breeder bill, a tethering issue, debarking, or anything else. • Know the pros and cons. • Know what has happened in other states. Many times bills are passed along from state to state. • Know AKC’s position, if they have one. If you are an AKC club, you need to know AKC’s position. • Know who supports the legislation. Is it supported by animal rights groups? Is it supported by extremists? • Discuss the bills. Encourage people to talk and express their opinions. • Don’t rush! Take your time. Take more than one meeting to discuss bills, especially if not everyone has read them. Take time to collect more information if necessary. Legislation is important. We often blame animal rights people when bad bills are passed but the truth is that very often we get bad dog laws because people in dog clubs are not paying attention. We are doing other things with our dogs or we are just too busy or can’t be bothered to look at legislation that affects us. We are the people who claim we love dogs so much so we need to make the time to read these bills and understand them. We need to make sure we make the right decisions about legislation. Dog clubs are about much more than putting on dog shows. They are about people coming together so we can preserve the future of our dogs – and that means safeguarding their legal future, too.

10 uestions Q ASKEDOF...

Amy Rutherford

BORN: DALLAS, TX RESIDES: SACRAMENTO, CA MARITAL STATUS: IN A RELATIONSHIP ASTROLOGICAL SIGN: SCORPIO

When did you start showing and how did that first show go?

The year was 1980 and I started with an Airedale. I lost and never won with that dog. Later I got a good one from a breeder.

How difficult was it to finish your championship?

My first champion finished at six-months and three weeks old when I was 12 years old. It was a Smooth Fox Terrier I bought with my own money earned selling eggs from my mother’s chickens.

Other than your own breed, what other breeds do you like? Japanese Chin and/or a Standard Poodle.

Which canine of the opposite sex would you be? David Fitzpatrick.

How do you feel about AKC’s role in our sport? I have mixed emotions and wish sometimes we could go back in time.

How many shows do you attend a year, and which three are your favorite ones? About 150. My favorites are Montgomery County, Poodle Club of America and Del Monte Kennel Club, as I love Carmel.

Who from dogs would you like to see on the television show “Duck Dynasty?” Allison Foley.

What things in the world of dogs bring you the greatest joy? Having a special relationship with each dog.

What characteristics do you admire in others and strive to emulate? Honesty, integrity and a good work ethic.

If you could afford to host an elegant catered dinner party, name at least three dogs and/or people you would like to invite. From the past Mrs. Clark and John Shelton. From the present Taffe McFadden.

National Purebred Dog Day By Susi Szeremy

ational Purebred Dog Day (May 1) became officially recognized on March 10th when Colorado became the first state in the country to acknowledge it through the passage of a joint resolution. With owners and their purebred dogs looking on, several legislators spoke on the floor of the House of Representatives in favor of the resolution and about the impact that purebred dogs have had in their lives. In the House vote, one “nay” and two abstentions kept the resolution from being unanimously carried, while in the Senate, the vote to pass was not only unanimous, but to the eyes of this writer, all thirty-five senators raised their hands to be added as co-sponsors of the popular resolution. Senators and Representatives delighted in visiting with the dog owners after the vote was taken, the dogs even more delighted at having so much attention. As the creator of National Purebred Dog Day and the author of the resolution, I could have been expected to be ecstatic at the successful realization of an idea hatched in a coffee shop eighteen months before. As gratifying as the day was, however, my deeper sentiment was that the passage of the resolution was but an encouraging step forward in restoring balance to the conversation about responsible dog ownership. For too long, the public’s perception of purebred dog owners and ethical breeders has been defined by groups that would see the demise of the dog fancy, if not an end to the human-dog bond. Nation-

al Purebred Dog Day will not remove the challenges we face, but having our own day may empower purebred dog owners to talk more openly about the heritage, diversity and versatility of purebred dogs while giving their voice a platform from which to be heard over animal rights and adopt-don’t-shop rhetoric. A day of recognition offers us another tool. It would make for good copy to describe this as a long, torturous journey, but I believe the idea for National Purebred Dog Day had just been waiting for action. It took less than a year and a half for a simple Facebook page extolling the virtues of purebred dogs to gain over 38,000 page friends. A Kickstarter campaign launched towards the end of 2014 to fund a website for National Purebred Dog Day not only met – but exceeded – it’s goal. Many dog Continued on page 117

second round of canine legislation was either proposed or advanced another step closer to becoming law in the past week. Several deal with enhancing animal cruelty laws while others address the acronyms BSL and MSN – breed-specific legislation and mandatory spayneuter – initials that are seemingly becoming as common as the NCAA abbreviation this March. On a positive note, there are three movements afoot that seek to enhance animal welfare and safety, one of them taking place in the Tar Heel State where the American Kennel Club houses its operations. The AKC supports this veterinarian-led bill, which seeks to crack down on animal cruelty and protect the health and welfare of all dogs in North Carolina. Senate Bill 209 will establish a hotline called “NC Pets We Care Hotline” to allow its citizens to report any act of animal cruelty or violation of the state’s Animal Welfare Act directly to the Attorney General. All reports will be investigated and forwarded to local law enforcement and the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. In addition to bringing residents, law enforcement and North Carolina officials together in a concerted effort to stop any act of animal cruelty, which is a felony in the state, the bill will also provide resources to help local communities offset the costs of enforcing animal cruelty laws. This bill — introduced by Senators Trudy Wade and Bill Rabon, both DVMs, along with Sen. Andrew Brock — is a preferable alternative to other recently proposed measures in the state, namely House Bill 159, which, among things, would require that law enforcement officials determine the reproductive status of a dog, the number of female dogs on a property and why a dog was being kept before being able to enforce regulations. In addition, HB 159 seeks to take away enforcement and drafting of regulations from an agency that has experience and expertise in the area of animal welfare, the Department of Agriculture, and place it with law enforcement officials who have little or

no experience in this area instead. HB 159 would also define commercial breeders by the number of dogs people own, rather than the actual sales of dogs or breeding activity, and would establish one size fits all kennel engineering standards, when the needs for different breeds and sizes of dogs can be radically different. Even though the AKC houses its operations in North Carolina and its Government Relations Department does yeoman’s work there, animal rightists have shown a formidable presence in the area as well and a knack for getting legislation with questionable, vague and troublesome language introduced. Perhaps the fact that SB 209 was crafted by three Senators — two of them veterinarians — may help sway their constituents’ opinions on the issue of animal welfare and this measure will be successfully adopted. There are two bills being considered – one on each coast – that seek to protect dogs in vehicles. This week the Delaware Senate Judiciary Committee was to consider Senate Bill 22, which would allow law enforcement officers, animal control officers, firefighters,

first responders and animal cruelty investigators to enter motor vehicles if there is probable cause that the confined animal is in danger of injury, suffering or death. Reasonable efforts must be made to locate the person responsible for the animal and if that person cannot be located, officers must leave their name, title, contact information and exact location of the shelter where the animal is taken. Similarly, the Washington State House Judiciary Committee was to consider a measure that will also allow animal control officers or law enforcement officials to enter a vehicle to remove an animal that “could be harmed or killed by exposure to excessive heat, cold, lack of ventilation or lack of necessary water. If there’s one warning that dog fanciers hope to never hear at a showsight ever again it’s the announcement that a dog has been left in a hot car. It may seem like common sense to experienced dog owners that they should never leave an unattended dog in a car for any period of time, but unfortunately these incidents continue to occur. The weather may still be unseasonably chilly in many parts of the country but with spring now upon us it would behoove all states to have these measures in place by the summer months if they don’t already, as temperatures rise quickly in vehicles and animal control officers or law enforcement officials need to act in appropriate manners to remedy a potentially deadly situation. A bill that would stop cities and counties from enacting BSL (breed-specific legislation) has advanced another round in the state of Georgia. It will be voted on next by the House Government Affairs Committee and if successful there will move on to be considered by the full House of Representatives. All in favor of protecting Georgia’s dogs and the rights of their owners should contact members of the House Governmental Affairs Committee (http://www. house.ga.gov/Committees/en-US/committee.aspx?Committee=92&Session=24) A.S.A.P. to ensure that the Peach State becomes the 19th in the union to ban BSL on the state level. Unfortunately, New Mexico has moved one step closer to allowing mandatory spay/neuter (MSN) policies to be enacted in the state. The choice of when or whether to spay or neuter dogs must remain with responsible owners. Any and all dog owners who live or participate in dog events in New Mexico are urged to contact the state senators and the sponsor of House Bill 415, Rep. Carl Trujillo, and urge them to amend or withdraw this bill: carl.trujillo@nmlegis.gov and http://www.nmlegis. gov/lcs/legislator_search.aspx.

MO R AKC ELECTIONS, GOOD NEWS FOR CRUFTS...

And

By Matthew H. Stander

oy oh boy was I fed wrong information about the way the election for Board Chairman would be conducted--perhaps it was due to the fact that the people I was talking to did not think Bob Amen was going to be defeated in his quest to keep his Board seat. I will digress for a moment (for a change) and tell you that not only did Mr. Amen lose but two days after his defeat he resigned his Delegate seat as well! Pretty shocking thing to do from a man so allegedly devoted to “working” for AKC. This did not truly surprise me, as I was never a fan of Mr. Amen’s with which to begin, and seriously questioned his attitude toward the conformation world and its participants--now back to the Board Chairman’s election. I was told with great authority that there was to be no head to head vote in the event of a Menaker/Kalter confrontation. I guess while I was at Crufts a major change in strategy and/or relationships occurred and it was decided

among the different sides to challenge each other directly. Kalter lost out in what may have been a 9 to 4 vote-had Amen been re-elected I am not too sure the vote would have been so decisive nor do I think Kalter would not have been re-elected. It is possible that there could have been a 3 vote swing had Amen won making it a 7 to 6 Kalter majority but of course that’s all speculation. Garvin as I understand it insisted upon running for Vice-Chairman and was defeated by Ashby by the same 9 to 4 vote. As to the Delegate vote were you disappointed that fewer than 370 of the 600 Delegates showed up to vote? I mean the number to elect was approximately 180, which was 40 to 60 votes lower than at most elections. One of the major problems with these Delegate Bodies is the large turnover that results in the same Delegates holding critical offices and positions for years on end. This discourages newer people from both staying on and participating in those Delegate Committees. I mean some Committee Chair people have held their positions for over 10 years running which gives no room whatsoever Continued on page 121

Brown or black vaginal discharge may indicate fetal death and a puppy may be lodged in the vaginal canal. This situation must be resolved quickly to allow the rest of the litter to be delivered. In these cases, a Caesarian section may be required. Strong contractions of the abdomen usually precede the delivery of a puppy. If the bitch is actively contracting for an hour and has not produced a puppy, there is a problem. The puppy may be too large to be delivered naturally or may be in a position that will not allow it to pass through the birth canal. Veterinary assistance is required at this time. Another problematic scenario would be failure to complete whelping. It is a good idea to have a radiograph taken in the last week of pregnancy to get an idea of how many puppies to expect. If five fetuses were seen on the radiograph and only three have been delivered, those other puppies need to get out. Bitches usually average one puppy per hour. Two puppies delivered one right after another may result in a longer interval between puppies. However, if the bitch is not resuming labor in a timely fashion, she may require oxytocin and/ 52 Dog News

or calcium to get restarted. A radiograph after whelping is recommended to ensure all puppies have been delivered. It can be difficult to get an exact head count in the cases of large litters. Retained puppies or uterine inertia (inactivity) are conditions that need to be resolved with veterinary attention in order to avoid still born puppies.

Is it true that honey can be used to heal wounds? Yes, but you can’t use just any honey off the shelf of your local supermarket. The honey used for wound management should be raw and unprocessed. It is thick and milky in appearance. Pasteurization, or heat treatment, destroys the beneficial enzymes in honey. There are reports of honey being used for wound care as early as 2000 B.C. Honey has a high glucose (sugar) content, which bacteria use instead of the damaged tissues’ amino acids. This action deodorizes the wound

in a few hours. Honey decreases fluid accumulation and speeds the sloughing of dead tissue. It provides amino acids, vitamins, enzymes and minerals, which promote the growth of healthy new tissue and forms a protective protein layer over the wound. Honey also has antibacterial properties and despite centuries of use, there is no reported resistance to its antimicrobial effects. Studies have shown effectiveness against common bacteria, multi-drug resistant E.coli and Enterococcus, and even methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). Before applying honey, the wound should be flushed extensively with body temperature tap water or sterile fluids. Appropriate pain medication should be given while cleaning and dressing any wound. Then the wound should be blotted dry. In most cases, honey reduces the need for surgical wound treatment. Approximately 30 mL (one ounce) of honey should be used for every 4” by 4” area. You can pour the honey directly onto the wound or soak gauze squares in liquid honey prior to applying them. The bandage should be changed one to three times daily. While all types of raw honey are beneficial, Manuka honey from New Zealand is known for its super health benefits. It is made from the nectar of flowers from the medicinal Manuka bush and has been shown to kill more than 250 strains of bacteria. Manuka honey is so effective at fighting infection that in 2007, the FDA approved its use for treating wounds and burns in the United States.

Russia LovE Via Birmingham: Crufts 2015 Story & Photos by Barbara Anderson

hen I saw one of The Kennel Club press people during the third day of Crufts, I asked her how things were going. Quite well, she assured me. “No drama?” I asked. “Just the usual,” she replied. Wishful thinking as it turns out…

58 Dog News

While it’s logical to begin with Thursday, March 5, the first day of the show, this time the story requires that I begin at the other end. When I saw my friend Geoff Corish after Scottie judging, he had nothing but praise for the bitch that had won Best of Breed. Bred in America by well-known Scottie fancier Vandra Huber and owned by Marina Khenkina who hails from Russia, Knopa, as the lovely bitch is called, truly impressed him with her breed type, presentation and showmanship. Her handler, Rebecca Cross, comes from a lifetime in Scotties as part of her mother’s successful breeding program under the affix Beameups. When I first met mom Doreen, she was living in Alaska – not the most convenient location for a competitor – and Rebecca was a young girl. The army took Rebecca to Japan where she worked for famous terrier handler Hiroshi before returning to the States where she began her professional handling career. She is a consummate professional, a talented trimmer, whose wonderful care of her dogs is reflected in their positive attitude in the ring. Let me state up front that I Stand With Rebecca. If you’re not sure what that means, it refers to the groundswell of support by dog people after the flap (now called Tail-gate) that ensued when a photographer published a photo of Rebecca taking the bitch off the table with one hand under her chin and the other at the base of the tail. No big deal…I’ve done it thousands of times, as have most other terrier (and toy) handlers in the U.S. But it is strictly against The Kennel Club’s regulations, and the animal rights nutters went to town. Rebecca subsequently apologized, saying that she was aware of the rule but that her nerves got the better of her and she reverted to habit. A number of experienced terrier people have spoken up in her defense. The postings on some social media sites are, to say the least, vile, and petitions have been circulated to strip her of the win. Of course, none of these people seem to be terrier people, at least not knowledgeable ones. Within minutes of the controversy erupting on the internet, The Kennel Club had already thrown her under the bus, stating that she had

been told repeatedly not to pick the dog up that way, and that they in no way condoned such handling of a dog, thereby seemingly adding fuel to the outcry. Did Chairman Steve Dean really believe, were he to have stated that Rebecca was aware of the rule, but just had a momentary lapse, that the animal rights fanatics would storm The Kennel Club? We all laughed at the preCrufts “news” bits about how the Brits resented the “American invasion” of the show, but The Kennel Club’s immediate need to placate the mob certainly doesn’t seem very supportive. It’s a shame that the most memorable win in “Team Knopa’s” career was undeniably tarnished by controversy. Many supporters have since posted messages on social media sites, showing raised hands on which are written “I Stand With Rebecca.” So do I.

o, back to Thursday, which was Gundog day. Gundogs represent such a large entry that it’s the only group judged on the day. I arrived at the Press Office first thing in the morning. It’s always a bit like coming home. Not only are the familiar Kennel Club press office people there, but it’s also a time to once again meet up with friends from around the world, many of whom I only see in Birmingham. The Press Room is alive with people chatting in a dozen different languages, from Chinese to Russian and from Belgian to Korean. American English and British English are also in evidence. This year the halls seemed more crowded than usual, but that was probably due to the popularity of gundogs in the U.K. The size of the entries in some breeds is almost inconceivable. If you go Best of Breed in Labs, you’ve beaten nearly 600 dogs, and the Golden Retriever winner had to triumph over an equally large entry. The National Exhibition Center, or NEC, is massive, consisting of five halls and over 250,000 square meters. For the first time I wore my Fitbit – that’s one of those fitness trackers that you see on people’s wrists. It caused me no end of trouble in the airport scanning machines, but I was able to upload the info when I got home and it revealed what my feet could have told me…that I averaged between five and six miles per day.

Views From A Delegate Continued FROM page 18

his is my first Delegate meeting as the Delegate for the Redwood Empire Kennel Club in California. I am very happy to be representing them as their new Delegate. This Club is composed of very good members and longtime friends who work very hard and put on very good dog shows each year. They are also very involved and want to be informed of what is happening with our AKC. I hope that I will represent them well and thank them for their confidence in me as a Delegate for their club. At this meeting I had the pleasure of mentoring a new Delegate, Kathy Sanders, of the Union County KC in New Jersey. I know that she will be a good representative of her club and she will be a very valuable member of the Delegate body. The Dog Show Rules committee, of which I am a committee member, met at 9:00 AM on Monday. Harvey Wooding, BOD Liaison, discussed the letter sent to the FCI regarding their ban on AKC judges judging non FCI events such as the NGKC in China. There will be a discussion at the Board meeting in April on this subject. As it is there is a ban basically by the Asian-Pacific branch of the FCI that now imposes a ban on judges that are FCI and AKC that judge at non FCI shows. The AKC feels that this is wrong and therefore has enacted the same restriction on their FCI judges for AKC shows. Harvey also reported on the revision of Chapter 2, Sections 3 regarding territory/venues. There is now a proposal that will be voted on at the June Delegate meeting and will be read at the current meeting that will address that issue. Changes to this section require clubs to (1) hold events in their territory to retain exclusivity; and (2) only provide exclusivity for a defined period of time surrounding the show date. Additionally, an appeals process in outlined for clubs that believe permission to hold a show within another club’s territory has been unreasonably withheld. The “Companion Club” name for the AKC Outreach Effort is not a good name and is back to the drawing board. There was much opposition to the use of that name, as we currently have a Companion Dog department at AKC. The concern from the Delegates appears to be the impression that these new “clubs” or “meet up” groups will harm AKC clubs by offering events that would compete with existing events and/or compete 60 Dog News

for potential members that might join existing AKC clubs. Some Delegates also expressed at the meeting that the name “meet up” groups in some states is a meeting of the animal rights groups and vetting of some of these groups in those states should be done. At the February 2015 Board meeting, the staff presented a recommendation that AKC recognize new types of social groups, which have sprung up all over the county, where people get together to simply enjoy informal activities centered around their dogs. The recommendation is that AKC provides the means for informal groups of dog owners that are interested in purely social activities centered on their dogs to associate with the AKC. In general, these owners are not interested in AKC’s traditional sports, breeding their dogs, or having the formal structure of the traditional dog club. They are not familiar with what the AKC has to offer. They feel if the AKC does not reach out to these groups we will have no chance to get them involved with the AKC and its events and other things the AKC has to offer. If you have any concerns or questions you can contact Jim Crowley at JXC@akc.org, Mike Liosis at MAL@akc. org or Doug Ljungren at DVL@akc.org. Gina DiNardo, Assistant Executive Secretary, reported on the requirement for new Specialty Clubs to hold an A Match before having a show. Due to the hardship it could put on a Specialty club to hold an A match in which the club must provide a premium list and a catalog of the event it was suggested that any club consisting of members who have a background or history in putting on a show or can prove that they would be able to hold a licensed specialty show without holding an A Match may apply to hold a regular Specialty show. That club would still have to have the two B matches that are currently required to apply for a licensed specialty show. Gina also addressed the issue and problem with exhibitors having enough time at two shows in one day to transfer their dog to best of breed (variety) at the second show. She stated that now the suggestion is that an exhibitor has until the beginning of that breed to change to best of breed (variety). There was also a suggestion that the group order and time should be posted on the day of the show and not printed in the premium list. My feeling on this is most superintendents post the group order in the judging program, the words “unless otherwise announced,” which gives the right to change the group order when necessary. If done this way, a posting of the new order should be posted by a certain time and posted at the superintendent’s office. If

possible, an announcement of the revised list should be done. There was a discussion on the Reserve Best Junior and the procedure of how it is to be done. The Board of Directors voted unanimously to allow clubs that want to award Reserve Best Junior Handler to do so effective October 7, 2015. Our committee had submitted this to the Board but the process of awarding the Reserve Best Junior Handler was different than what was sent to the Board. Our suggestion was to award RBJH the same way as Reserve Best In Show is done and not the way the Board approved. They approved the RBJH process that after the Best Junior Handler was selected, the second place winner from the class that the Junior was awarded Best Junior Handler is to return to the ring to compete for Reserve Best Junior Handler. The committee will be sending to Jim Crowley for Board consideration that the new Board revision requires a Best Junior Handler must be awarded but and that a Reserve Best Junior Handler must be offered. If not done that way, it will lead to confusion on the part of juniors, judges and stewards as to which shows are offering Reserve and which are not. It should be consistent. Additionally, we are asking the Board to revisit the way in which RBJ is awarded due to many problems that can arise such as the problem with two working parents and the time that each 2nd place winner would have to spend at the show. What happens to the children left in the ring waiting for the 2nd place winner to enter the ring? If done the same way as RBIS is done it will be done more clearly, equitable and efficient for everyone.

reviously to the March Delegate meeting, a sub-committee headed by Sue Goldberg (I was also on that committee) was assigned to come up with a proposal to submit to the Board of Directors regarding reinstatement of a disqualified dog due to an attack of any person in the ring. This is a revision of Chapter 11, Section 8-A. The revision was voted on and approved by the sub-committee by a vote of 4-2 in favor of the revised section of that Chapter and Section. At the March meeting of the Dog Show Rules committee the two dissenting members of the sub-committee presented a rebuttal of what was approved by the majority members of the sub-committee. This came out of nowhere and to the displeasure of those majority voters on the sub-committee. We have no problem with seeing two sides of a proposal but do object to the way it was handled. First of all that objection memo should have been sent to the sub-committee members prior to the committee Continued on page 66

Views From A Delegate Continued FROM page 60

meeting. From what I understand it was sent to the Chairman of our Committee but was not opened by her. As a member of that committee the first people who should have received that rebuttal should have been the other members of the sub-committee. That way the subcommittee could have discussed it via conference calls and worked out some of the problems and objections listed in the rebuttal. Now we will have to take more time discussing this matter that has taken months of work. Our committee has always worked very well and presented lots of input and changes that we are proud of. I do hope that we can continue to work in the same way. As I previously stated, differences of opinions should be expressed and welcomed but I also believe that they should be presented in a manner that will welcome comments and suggestions and not create hard feelings. We also have a subcommittee that has been assigned to review and clean up the Rules Applying to Dog Shows book and offer revisions of all portions in the rule book that is italicized. Thanks to Peggy Wampold for suggesting to me that I submit a change regarding the wearing of any badge, etc that may identify an exhibitor in the ring. As a result of that email we are now going to address that issue in our review of the rule book. At the Parent Club there was a great tribute to Bill Blair, Progressive Dog Club, and member of the Parent Club committee, by Pat Laurans and others on the committee. Bill had been a member of the Delegate body for 45 years and never missed a meeting. I will certainly miss Bill and his kindness to me as a Delegate. Chris Walker, Marketing & Communications, spoke on the problems with the new AKC website and offered an apology on how the site was rolled out. He and his staff ran through why it was a necessity to revise the site. They spent a year looking at the old site and during this time attempted to revise it. The old website was running technology that was 16 years old. We needed to reach a larger audience. The site has grown to 12m views. From what can be seen, only 8% of the viewers are from the sport of dogs. Breed pages are the most important pages, as the other 92% used that to get a dog, find breeders, and other activities with their dogs. It is designed to attract first time users. He addressed the need for better pictures of the breeds but stated that the site 66 Dog News

does offer viewers to send in pictures of their dogs even if they are not great pictures of that breed. Many people in the meeting objected to the way some of the pictures of their breed were represented...such as a white and black Schipperke. Chris will be addressing that issue and others within the next two weeks and stated that 70% of the problems addressed had been fixed or are in testing. If anyone has suggestions for changes they can send them to AKC Communications at AKC.ORG. Chris Walker can be reached at 212696-8232 or at CXW2@akc.org. Some people wanted the site to contain health issues but that could play to the animal rights groups. It was suggested that Parent Clubs get involved and that the Board of that Parent Club be the depositary of their breed standard that they own and work with Chris and his department of issues with the website. A letter has already gone out by Jim Crowley to Parent Clubs stating that. Pat Laurans, Chairman of the Parent Club Committee, said we needed to be positive in the way that we deal with problems with the website and that we should thank Chris and his committee for all their work on the website and we should work together on this. After some discussion on the website by some of the members of the Delegate body attending the meeting the discussion was ended when Chris Walker left the meeting. I heard that he had another meeting to attend. Tom Powers, AKC Board, discussed that the Canine Good Citizens program currently has 29,300 in that program. Tom also spoke on the Judging Approval Process Implementation Plan. A draft of the Board recommendations is now greatly different than what was sent out previously. It will be sent out to the fancy for input after it is completed. At the February Board Meeting, it was moved that the current form of the proposed judging approval be suspended at this time due to only 750 responses having been received out of 57,000 plus sent out. A new survey will be sent to judges, exhibitors, breeders, Parent Clubs, etc., that will be short and requires only a yes or no vote. There will be a one year window for reply to allow the annual club meetings to look at the survey. I would not look for this to be done soon so if you are applying for new breeds you will have to write a synopsis for each breed. There are 159 members currently on the Parent Club Rescue list with 47

clubs that have no rescue and 169 invites that have not been returned. Another letter will be sent to the 169 not responding. Alan Kalter reported on the Breeder of Merit program and the information received from the person who is breeder of merit. The questions asked included if they were a member of a dog club but they were not asked if they were a member of the parent club. The BOM program has grown but is now tapering down. They are going to be sending out a letter to the 12,000 breeders of merit and get updates on what clubs they belong to and they will put that information in the database. The Parent Club can get the information by requesting it from AKC. The question was asked how long will that person be in the BOM program if they do not respond to the letter. It was also reported that our BOM is appearing on sites from England. The Breeder of Merit site will be overhauled within the next 30 days. AKC is also working on a Market Place program in which each club could put a PSA on the AKC website. That would be for clubs and also breeders. There was also a discussion on the BRED WITH HEART program that is up and running. You can go to the AKC website for information. Breeders can be involved and it will be a fee based program. Heart stands for HEALTH, EDUCATION, ACCOUNTABILITY, and RESPONSIBILITY AND TRADITION. We should outreach to veterinarians and engage them. Pat Laurans stated that with the Pet Disaster Program there have been 19 trailers delivered with nine more in the pipeline. There has been $866,000 donated to the program. Three clubs and other dog clubs in San Diego, Ca have raised over $65,000 and have already purchased three trailers and one more is almost paid for. The three clubs are Del Sur KC, Bahia Sur KC, Cabrillo KC and various other clubs in that area. At the Coordinating Committee meeting each Committee Chairperson spoke on what happened at their meeting. Some of the items covered in these meetings were: Agility was down ½% but events were up 8.1%. Obedience was down 1 ½ % with events down 15.1%. Rally was up 5.1% with events up 2.3%. Tracking events were up 1.2%. It is now difficult to find obedience judges due to the requirements for them to attend the judges’ seminars.

Ready to Rock and Roll Fun times at Crufts for all ages! 68 Dog News

Story & Photos by Vince Hogan Each year when Crufts comes around, we Brits have a sense of mixed feelings and emotions. On the one hand we love the main event of the year. It's big, it's exciting, it has dogs now from all over the world, it has over 400 canine shopping booths, it has a huge entry and features every aspect of canine life and health and has super learning zones left, right and centre.

Crufts WELCOMES overseas visitors to Crufts in the special lounge!

So what's the problem? Well the British general press and media for one.....for weeks before the show, rather than celebrate what is now a great British tradition like Wimbledon, or the Grand National (famous horse race) all the hacks seem to find are 'odd ball' stories about the world of dogs and dog shows. And of course, what doesn't help is people jumping into social media nowadays spouting off without considering the consequences. So this year, someone apparently said (on FACEBOOK or somewhere similar) that we in the UK were fed up of foreigners coming over to win at Crufts....Best in Show or otherwise. Well, apart from that being completely wrong, it was then blown Continued on page 119

RUSSIA

Via Birmingham: Crufts 2015 Continued FROM page 59

Winner of the Gundog group under Chris Atkinson was a Flat-coated retriever from Sweden, CH Castlerock Simply Magic, with second to the Pointer Sh CH Wilchrimane Ice Maiden. The prefix stands for Show Champion; only those rare gundogs with bench and field titles are allowed to use the title “CH.” The Welsh Springer Sh CH Ferndel Aeron Magregor took third place with the Weimaraner Sh GH Gunalt De Ice At Stridview in fourth. By the next morning, word had gotten around that an Irish Setter, shown the previous day, had died of what was suspected to be poison a while after arriving at his home in Belgium. The distraught owners were interviewed on BBC News and said that they would not believe that it had been at the hand of another exhibitor. There was even talk that the dog had been switched on the bench with his champion kennelmate and that the poison was intended for the other dog. Latest news has it that the poisoned meat found in the dog’s stomach would have to have been eaten after arriving home and the investigation continues. There were also reports of another exhibit - a Lhasa - being poisoned as well,

but nothing has been confirmed that I know of. As is true every year, we owe a real debt of gratitude to the people from the press office who make our four days at the show as pleasant and productive as possible. Special congrats to front man James Skinner, who celebrated his 40th birthday on the weekend. Kennel Club Chairman Steve Dean, if you’re reading this, the folks in the press office deserve a raise! On Friday morning I had the pleasure of meeting up with Gavin and Sara Robertson, owners of the 2013 Best in Show winning PBGV “Jilly,” CH Soletrader Peekaboo. After Crufts, her owners, anxious to have Jilly’s win benefit both dogs and humans, sponsored “Jilly’s Jaunt,” which resulted in $75,000 being donated to charity. I met Sara and Gavin a few years ago when they made the trip to Montgomery and the memories still make me laugh out loud. There is a Red Lobster restaurant in Pennsylvania from which I’m sure we’ve been permanently banned! I was chatting with Sara and nonchalantly scratching the butt of her PBGV before I realized that it was the famous Jilly. The charming PBGV girl is now the star of a children’s book, first in a series, called “Jilly’s Jolly Jaunt,” written by my friend and former “boss” Bill Moores, retired editor of Our Dogs newspaper. The books are designed to encourage reading, responsible dog ownership and a moral tale encouraging kids to be “safe and sound” around dogs.

riday was the day for Working and Pastoral (Herding) breeds with Sue Ellis’s Malamute (which the Brits pronounce ‘Mal a Moot’) CH Chayo My Prerogative in first place that evening in the big ring. The multi-titled Leonberger CH Namupalan Bling Smack Chap came from Finland to take the reserve Best of Group spot with a lovely Bullmastiff CH Costog Mompe-

74 Dog News

LOVE sons Home Bru in third. Tan Negrecha, no stranger to the winner’s circle, piloted his St. Bernard CH Chandlimore Sparks Will Fly Over Samhaven to fourth place under judge Robert Gregory. In the herding breeds, first place went to a Bearded Collie French import CH Victory Wind’s Ghost Whisperer For Snowmead under judge Mr. Vic Salt. Second place went to the Great Pyrenees/Pyrenean Mountain Dog Vi’skaly’s Harlem Shake from Sweden with a very popular third to the GSD CH Veneze Ellie. Fourth place went to the Samoyed Vandreem Imperial Cruz. If you tire of watching breed judging, there are dozens of activities taking place around the NEC during the day including military dog demonstrations, flyball, agility and some of the most hotly contested obedience competitions in the world. There is also an area devoted to the Young Kennel Club which, unlike Junior Handling (which they also have in the U.K.) holds breed judging competitions for dogs handled by young people. Many of the successful breeders/exhibitors in the U.K. came up through the ranks of YKC competitions. That’s one thing that you notice immediately when you watch group judging - the number of young people in their late teens or twenties who are showing at top level, including group competition at Crufts. The British dog fancy is thus assured of its future. I’m not sure we can say the same. While I could do with less flyball and agility in the evenings, they are surely a crowd pleaser and many spectators leave before group judging begins! One competition that was NOT to be missed this year was the Breeders Competition, the last of its kind to be offered at Crufts. Each year, teams of three or four dogs compete for this very prestigious win, and this year top honors went to the Shalfleet Whippets. Teams qualify during the year in order to make it into the finals at Crufts. There is no more impressive sight than 200+ dogs assembled on the green carpet under the spotlights. From now on, the Breeders Competition will be replaced by competition for the vulnerable British and Irish breeds that will also qualify during the year for the final competition in March. I’m a fan of promoting the vulnerable breeds (I own members of three different endangered breeds) but I’ll be sorry to see the Breeders finals end. Friday was “my day” with terriers and hounds on display. By the way, the day-today schedule is always in the same order, with the breeds advancing by one day

each year. Thus, Gundogs will be on the second day next year, with Toy and Utility (Nonsporting) on Thursday. While I enjoy hunkering down at ringside and watching the judging from start to finish, that’s not possible on terrier day when I want desperately to see at least 6 or 8 breeds. My friend Geoff Corish had the pleasure of judging a large entry of Scotties, putting up the lovely CH McVan’s To Russia With Love. It was planned that Crufts was to be her last show after an amazing career in Europe and the U.S. that resulted in her amassing nearly a dozen titles. She will now return home with her Russian owner. Of course, she went on later that night to win a hotly contested group under Martin Phillips. In second place, having won what someone referred to as “the shoot-out at the Wire ring” was last year’s group winner CH King Arthur Van Foliny Home, which hails from Belgium and is owned by his breeders and Brazilian real estate magnate Victor Malzoni. Third place went to a lovely Border Terrier, CH Brackenfell Bok to Bach JW with “fourth of group” to the Mini bull terrier Ch/Ir CH Grasco’s Honky Tonky JW, which hails from Italy. Interesting to note that in the U.K. you can actually tell which one is the mini bull and which one is the standard. Hounds were judged by the ever-popular Carla Molinari from Portugal, who gave top spot to a breathtaking Saluki from Sweden CH Qirmizi Ovation that had also triumphed at the World Show, so I’m told. Second place went to the Whippet bitch Ir CH Demerlay Armabay Billie Jean, with third to the Finnish Borzoi Int CH Yegorov Hotter Than July . Mrs. Molinari was clearly having a sighthound day. Fourth place went to the Ridgeback CH Kinabula Bin There Done That. Toy and Utility/Nonsporting breeds were shown on Sunday. Judge Stephen Bardwell selected the lovely Maltese with the unlikely name of CH Cinecitta Sasha Baron Cohen that sports titles from his home country of Italy as well as five others. Reserve best in group went to the Pomeranian CH/IR CH Belliver The Ultimate Creation. And third place was a show-stopper! Of course, during the judging, everyone noticed the young boy who was handling the English Toy Terrier, what we would call a Toy Manchester. Appearing to be about 9 or 10, he handled the bitch like a pro, showing more poise and skill than many of the adults. The crowd went wild when he made the shortlist, and went even wilder when he was placed in the number three spot! As he stacked the dog in front of the third place podium, he put his hands up to his face and cried! Bert Easdon and a Yakee Pekingese Ch Yakee Ooh Aah Cantona took fourth place, but I think that the boy stole some of the Peke’s thunder.

unday night is the night for the Eukanuba Friends For Life competition, which features dogs who have made a significant difference in the lives of their people. Previous competitions have featured military bomb dogs, hearing dogs, assistance dogs, working police dogs and other wonderful examples of the human-animal bond that we all experience. This year’s winner was a dog that was rescued from a lorry in Thailand in which 1000 other dogs were being transported to be slaughtered for food. Desperate to escape, he tried to jump from the truck but wound up being dragged behind it. The truck was intercepted and the dogs were transported to an over-crowded shelter. His bid for freedom resulted in his picture being shown on the internet and it was seen by Amanda Leask from Scotland, who ultimately adopted him. The dog, aptly named Miracle, is now the constant companion of Amanda’s son Kyle, who suffers from cerebral palsy and autism. As Amanda says, it’s as though they were destined to be together. I don’t cry much, but it seems that the Eukanuba Friends For Life competition is one of my few exceptions. Judging from the sniffles in the press section, I’m not alone. Final group on Sunday night was the Utility group and Mrs. Zena Thorn-Andrews gave first place to the Mini poodle AM CH Montserrat Caballe, which hails from Norway. Second place went to the Mini Schnauzer (yes, they are in the Utility group) Saredon Born A Star For Risepark with third to the bulldog CH Sealaville He’s Tyler. Fourth place went to another Poodle, this time the toy CH Vanitonia As You Wish. Former Crufts Chairman Ronnie Irving, himself a Border terrier breeder and exhibitor, had the honor of selecting what they used to call the “Crufts Supreme Champion” from a stunning collection of seven group winners. Remember my earlier mention of the news articles describing the “foreign invasion?” Facing Mr. Irving on the green carpet was the Swedish Flat coat, a Beardie imported from France, the Russian/American Scottie, Swedish Saluki, Maltese from

Italy and the Mini poodle from Norway. Only the Working Group winner, the Malemute, was home-grown. As everyone knows by now, Mr. Irving gave it to the Scottie, with Reserve BIS to the Flat-coat. But the drama wasn’t over yet. There are security guards throughout the venue and they are seated outside the ring, facing the stands, throughout the final judging. No one wants a repeat of previous years’ disruptions when streakers and other unsavory folk ran into the ring and caused a major disruption during Best In Show. Just as Rebecca was about to put the Scottie bitch on the podium, I heard a thunder of footfalls behind me and, before I could make sense out of it, a skinny young man ran past me and into the ring, holding up a sign that said “Mutts against Crufts.” For a brief moment, time stood still, and then he was soundly tackled by a horde of burly security people and dragged, kicking, from the ring. One of them told me later that the demonstrator had been patiently sitting in the stands during the entire evening, apparently waiting for just the right moment to make his run for it. Amazingly, the cameraman who was doing the live coverage managed to cut to a different angle and, apparently, the only thing seen on television was a brief glimpse of his feet. So much for his moment of glory. Rebecca calmly and quickly responded by moving Knopa to the other side of the podium until the excitement was over and they took their place in front of the huge silver trophy. Being faced with hordes of voracious photographers and reporters can be daunting to anyone, but Rebecca and Knopa handled it all with style and class. Crufts is the world’s biggest and, many would say, most prestigious dog show, an event where people from around the globe come to focus on wonderful dogs, their dedicated breeders, devoted owners and talented handlers. Let’s put all of the other idiocy aside and keep it that way. Dog News 75

Views From A Delegate Continued FROM page 66

days of the Parent Club designated National Specialty show from the points-schedule calculation process. That will be implemented in the points schedule with the effective date of May 15, 2015. There has been a large Delegate turnover in the Delegate body. One problem is that Delegates are not allowed to charge fees to judge and that may come into play when Delegates leave. Cost is another factor. There is a letter going out to member clubs without Delegates stating the importance of having a Delegate and the job description for being a Delegate. Dennis Sprung reported that there now will be a Chief Veterinarian Officer. AKC received the opportunity for someone else to take one floor of the Raleigh AKC offices that will save $1.8m within the next 5 years. Lots of people and departments are now using remote access for 46 employees. Customer Service, Event Plans, and Registration are working from home. At the Legislative Caucus on Tuesday it was mentioned that there is an attack going on in NC fighting antibreeder laws. HSUS has a strong hold in NC. PAC really encourages donors to the PAC to make suggestions of who is running for officers in their local or state elections to request monies to those who are in their opinion supportive of our breeders and has a record that can be vetted. There are also laws on ballots in GA, NC, MT, and KY for breed specific laws with 17 states already with those laws. There have been cases in which people who have been charged with certain animal violations being charged for boarding and care of the animals that have been seized that are unreasonable. Many times the animals are sold without the owner’s knowledge. The ACLU is working with many people due to this. Jan Gardner, Delegate and a legislator in New Hampshire, was given the Legislative Award. At the Delegate Meeting on Tuesday, there were the elections for the Board of 2019. The results of the ballots were: (It took 180 votes of the 358 votes taken to win) Robert Amen- 151 votes Dr. Carmen Battaglia- 209 votes Dr. Thomas Davies- 211 votes Steve Gladstone- 201 votes Dr. Gregory J. Paveza- 118 votes The Chairman of the Board, 78 Dog News

Alan Kalter, gave his report that the AKC has the ability to deliver our mission, made possible by the health of our finances. In 2010, our health wasn’t as good as we would have liked. That year we had an operating loss of over $400,000. Staff and your Board worked together to address the business challenges with good results. For 2014, operating profit was almost $6 million. During that same five-year period the AKC’s total assets increased by 1/3 to almost $140 million. Some of that growth has come from new programs like Canine Partners, which grew 600% to $900,000 in AKC revenue. Other programs included the CGC/Star Puppy, which grew 54% to almost $1,000,000. GoodDog Helpline ended its first year with revenues of almost $900,000; Global Services, grew 145% to almost $300,000 and a brand new product-ReggieBox- delivered almost $250,000 in its first year. My question to the Chairman and the Board is since we are in such good financial condition why are we not getting our AKC name out more to the general public? Alan mentioned the article in the Los Angeles Times (which in the past accepted PETA’s view) that noted the following regarding the Meet the Breeds in New York last month: “This may or may not be news to PETA, but even if you’re made a little queasy by the way humans have shaped the dog gene pool, and even if you’d never dream of not adopting from a shelter, you’d still be hard pressed to find among the Meet the Breed gang anything but animals that are deeply loved and responsibly breed.” Although that is a good thing to read nowhere does it mention the name American Kennel Club and the efforts of breed clubs to make the Meet the Breeds happen before the Westminster Kennel Club show. We are producing Marketing the Sport, an e-Book providing tips about how to best promote your show, trials, and events. Interviews with successful cluster chairs about how they have increased show entries and public gate, successfully promoted their events, and recruited new club members will be included. The e-Book will be available in the second quarter. Joseph V. Baffuto, Jr, Chief Financial Officer, Jr. presented the Financial Report. Joe is the new CFO and I was very impressed with him and his delivery of his report and responding quickly to me when I needed the report for this article. “2014 was a successful, yet challenging year for the organization. 2014’s consolidated total revenue of $64.5 million was comparable to the $64.6 million in 2013. Dog and litter registrations of $27.0 were equal to 2013. Total consolidated operating expenses of $58.8 million in 2014 were

approximately $3.3 million (6%) higher than in 2013. This unfavorable variance was predominately due to increases in public relations, events and programs, along with increases in payroll, rent and travel. 2013’s consolidated operating results yielded an operating surplus of $5.7 million vs. an operating surplus of $9.1 million in the prior year. The consolidated gain on investments for 2014 totaled $1.2 million, which was significantly lower that 2013’s recordbreaking year of $14.3 million. The total unfunded status of pension and postretirement plans increased to $61.4 million from $37.6 million in the prior year.” It was also reported that royalty and sponsorship income was down $2.5 million due to the affinity card program. There is an operating reserve of $32.5 million and a long-term purpose reserve of $83.8 million. AKC Board expense was $264,324. The events total was 19,000 licensed events with 3.2 million entries. AKC PAC supported 56 candidates and officeholders in federal and state races with a success rate of 92% wins. I had spoken to some of the officers on the Board and have received support for clubs to have the Pee Wee class as a Special Attraction. Harvey Wooding stated at our Dog Show Rules Committee meeting that if the applying club can provide information on how that event will be conducted and it meets with the approval of Doug Ljungren, Sports and Event VP, and the Board it could be approved. I thank Harvey, Steve Gladstone and Thomas Powers for their interest in getting the Pee Wee Special Attraction back on track. I was also very thankful for the recent vote in February that will allow a club (beginning in January 2016) to opt in on the NOHS. A special thank you to Patricia Cruz, who without her help this vote would not have been taken and passed. I also received a very nice booklet from Peter G. Piusz, Delegate from the American Rottweiler Club, regarding their Junior Handler Program. In reading this booklet I was amazed at all the ARC is doing for our Juniors in their breed. They offer Scholarships, Westminster and AKC/Eukanuba Stipends plus a page on their website dedicated to Juniors. The ARC should be congratulated on this great thing they are doing to help continue our sport. I wish each breed club would invest more in the support of our Juniors. There are many clubs that I know of such as the Collie Club of American and Poodle Club of America that offer great programs for the Juniors. I am sure there are others and I thank you for doing this for our Juniors. That’s all folks!

Dog News 83

one Boy Gone….Following his unsuccessful run for another term on the Board of Directors of the American Kennel Club, former board member ROBERT AMEN has resigned as a Delegate from the Port Chester Obedience Training Club. His resignation comes just days after the election of the Class of 2019. Seated on the board, he originally was quoted as saying he would not run again for the board if he wasn’t nominated by the nominating committee. He was not nominated and then had a change of heart and ran by petition from the floor. It is said that he was firmly in the KALTER camp and that is why he chose to run again. His defeat in the election followed very closely by his subsequent resignation as a Delegate; makes one wonder why he went through all that trouble. Another American Kennel Club resignation has been received. This time by the very popular director of the compliance department JACK NORTON. A thankless job at best. Not much is being said about his departure, but rumors abound that it may signal the end of the compliance department. The NORTON Family has deep roots in the sport and the family name is synonymous with the Samoyed breed. JACK recently announced his engagement to his longtime girlfriend TOMMI ELIZABETH POWELL. All of us at DOG NEWS send them our very best wishes for the future. NESTLE PURINA is being sued for its Beneful line of dog food. A class action suit was recently filed in a California federal court. PURINA has stated that the lawsuit is “baseless”. Hard to believe it’s been 27 years, but KEKE & RICHARD KAHN are celebrating their 27th wedding anniversary with a ten-day cruise on the Regent Navigator. DONAVON THOMPSON is off to judge Afghan hounds and Briards in Luxemburg. The list of names of people who attended Crufts that got lost in my luggage included BILLY KAMAI, RUSSELLA BOWEN, CAROL O’BRIEN and BARBARA (for those old enough to remember was LOUNSBURY) ANDERSON, who attends Crufts every year. The Irish setter that died of poisoning, which thought to have happened at the Crufts dog show, in fact did not happen there. The loss of a beloved pet is no less painful but it not having taken place at the dog show is a great relief. A statement from the English Kennel Club appears in this issue of DOG NEWS. The Knickerbocker Dachshund Club will once again be back at the Hotel Pennsylvania, joining the other specialties at the Penn Top Ballroom on February 14th. Celebrating Birthdays…MATTHEW PERCHICK, ALEX WHEELER, JANE FORSYTH, JANET YORK, DAVID BOLUS, TAYLOR JOHNSON, TARA MARTIN ROWELL, LEONARDO GARCINI, LUKE BAGGENSTOS, PETER KUBACZ, SUSAN LOWDER, TUNI CLAFLIN, JOE WATERMAN, LOIS DEMERS, LETISHA WUBBEL, CHERYL LENT, LESLEY POTTS, GEORGIE COVEY, SONDRA KATZ, PLUIS DAVERN, SHIRLEY BOXER, DIANE STEELE, MARY BEECHER, SUSAN KIPP, SHAUN COEN, CHRIS KING, CEIL RUGGLES, TIFFANY SAXON, NICK LOMBARDI, GABRIEL RANGEL, JACKIE HARRINGTON, NICOLE FISHER, REGINA KEITER, DORIS COZART, CINDY SMITH, MARJORIE MARTORELLA, SHANNON STONE, MARY ROGERS, MEAGAN ULFERS, ALLISON FOLEY, KELLY WISCH, LISA STUMPF, DAVID POWERS, PEGGY MCDILL, RUTH ZEIGLER, DENISE FLAIM, NICOLAS DEBOUT, MIKE PITTS and TERRI MEYERS.

National Purebred Dog Day Continued FROM page 42

lovers embraced the idea of this day, and the only real resistance came from animal rights shills whose objections merely served to encourage to the rest of us. I don’t want to suggest that it was smooth sailing from beginning to end, nor that I did it alone the whole way. Phil Guidry, Senior Legal Analyst at the AKC, converted the resolution I’d crafted into the proper format written in “legalese” that passed legislature muster. Through Phil, I met Sheila Goffe, the AKC’s Government Relations Director

who, like Phil, knows all too well what the dog fancy is up against. Their encouragement and actions were enormously important, and it was through Sheila’s endeavors that the resolution got the support of the AKC and a letter of endorsement signed by AKC President, Dennis Sprung. Having the might of the AKC behind the resolution equaled a strong tailwind in the sails of this ship. The Colorado Federation of Dog Clubs through

the dedicated hands of its Legislative Director, Linda Hart, invited the reading of the resolution to occur at the same time it held its annual “Dog Days” event at the State Capitol – a mutually beneficial partnering. And when the Resolution hit a sudden and significant snag the day before it was to be introduced in the way of a needed Senate co-sponsor, it was the Federation’s lobbyist who quite literally ran through the halls of the Capitol to resolve the issue. I intend to share the video and resolution that worked in Colorado with anyone who wants to pursue National Purebred Dog Day in their own state, but I conclude with this rejoinder to any reader who thinks that their own state would never recognize National Purebred Dog Day: In 2013, it was Colorado that made shelter cats and dogs its official state pet. Getting the day recognized in other states can be done, and if not through you, then who? (Readers seeking help establishing National Purebred Dog Day in other states may email the author at szeremy@mho.net).

A Brit Looks At Crufts Continued on page 69

up out of all proportion by the British media...and picked up overseas of course as well. Some disgruntled person also predicted that BIS would again go to a foreigner.....well it did, but not the one they were all tipping! But in fact, recent BIS winners have actually been UK based...with the Standard Poodle last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s winner owned by Mike Gadsby and Jason Lynn being a case in point; prior to that we have a petit Basset Griffon Vendeen owned by Gavin Robertson from the UK and before that a FlatCoated Retriever from Scotland. But still all the negative stories went round. Crufts should be for the British suggested the papers! The truth regarding overseas visitors is in fact that they are welcomed with open arms to Crufts in various quarters. The exhibitors reacted by telling us that they welcomed the opportunity to compete with the best in the world. This is for many a once a year chance to see, compare, compete with a different set of dogs and exhibitors. They love meeting like-minded friends from all parts of the globe. Can you imagine just keeping Crufts for the British or British breeds in this day and age? It was like suggesting we just had British tennis players competing at Wimbledon..... now imagine how exciting that would have been and also how long would it have lasted? Hello 1950's ...welcome back! The organisers like the boost to the gate and the trade stands LOVE the overseas people spending money on their booths. Add in the massive boost to the local economy and you can see why this so-called story was a non starter right from the off! MASSIVE GATE In fact Crufts this year saw just under 160,000 people come through the gates...up on last year and just short of the highest ever attendance. The TV viewing figures were huge this year, now having a commercial station taking the broadcast ever since the BBC pulled out a few years ago around the time of more anti pedigree dog propaganda. Strange now that a few years later, vets are now saying

that cross bred dogs are no healthier than pedigrees despite what certain broadcasters would have had us believe back then. The same sort of half-truth, mistruth scenario was acted out again during and just after the show with the tragic death of an Irish Setter from Belgium. All our sympathies go out to the owners but who could have foreseen the media frenzy based on this situation? Was the dog poisoned at Crufts? Did anyone have any proof? Did that matter to the Editors of some UK daily newspapers? Not one bit.....MURDER AT CRUFTS screamed the headlines from one of the tabloids, followed by pages of material on skullduggery at dog shows and repeated coverage in TV and radio news bulletins. We then heard that the vet in Belgium who had apparently said the dog had been poisoned was backtracking saying that it could have happened elsewhere and that they didn't suggest it had been done at Crufts in the first place! Well all that was a little too late after the media firestorm.... why let the truth get in the way of a good story? The damage had been done...the media in general got another chance to make out that most dog people are bonkers and dog people themselves didn't help by outbursts on all sides on social networks, mainly commenting on other people's comments and not the facts...a classic game of Chinese whispers! WHAT ABOUT THE WINNERS? Well I did ask the Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s permission to give some of the background to the show, rather than just a list of who won what where. Sure we had some overseas winners, and why not? Let the best dog win on the day. But the whole event ran like clockwork. Every canine discipline under the sun was represented in one form or another. The pedigree entry was well over 20,000...a feat in itself for a show where you need to qualify, and you can then add in performance dogs, agility and obedience competitions, junior handling at all levels, good citizen classes, gamekeepers glasses, demonstrations and displays and shop until you drop for four packed days. Trade stands did a roaring trade, the larger ones entertained guests, the Crufts committee Chairman Gerald King hosted his Chairmanship lunch each day for the

various sponsors, and the infamous overseas visitors packed into the show and had their own special area in the piazza at the huge NEC complex. So you came round to the groups held in the super Arena at one end of the show ground. Seating is free on all days except BIS day when it was apparently a sell out although there are disappointingly always a few gaps from no shows. Best in Show judge this year was Scotsman Ronnie Irving (technically a foreigner?) and he was escorted into the main ring by fellow Border Terrier enthusiast KC Chairman Steve Dean. Ronnie was of course KC Chairman for nine years until recently. So we had lights, fanfares, great applause and regrettably more controversy for the press to get their teeth into. As most working terrier types know, it is not unusual to handle a dog by using its tail; the same can be said when handling terriers for show in the USA...although to be honest it is now not the 'done thing' in the UK. So American handler Rebecca Cross was reminded of this fact by KC staff pre best in show time. In a split second when piloting her Scottie, this directive was forgotten as she picked up the dog in the way she is accustomed and placed Knopa on the floor for the judge to assess movement. Who could have foretold the over the top reaction to this .....which clearly did not bother the dog, which only reacted in a positive way by showing her head off for the judge who eventually awarded her the Best in Show title. Breeder Vandra Huber watching transatlantic on TV could not believe it...they had just won Crufts! Massive congratulations to the Russian owner too and of course to Mcvans To Russia With Love, which Ronnie Irving called a 'stunning example of the breed'. Regrettably just at the moment of the presentation another nut case raced from the stands with a placard with a message but he was wrestled to the ground and dragged out......what next! But it was the post show aftermath of complaints and counter comments on whether the dog should or should not have been lifted by the tail or not that took away some of the shine from what was a great show and a great occasion for the winners and all their connections. I have seen less reactions to far more important things in life than this situation. Later in the post show party the dog was well adjusted, friendly and bonded with owner and handler. This is not cruelty as I know it! And as the BIS judge said in his writing after the show.....he gave the title to the dog not the handler. But still the arguments rage on..... Is this what FACEBOOK was intended for way back in the day??? Dog News 119

to develop new talents and results in the same old by the same old leaving no room for progressive changes. In my opinion one of the greatest problems with Alan Kalter was his willingness to permit the Delegate Committees to take charge of areas in which the Board should have been in the lead. The Board is constitutionally charged with instituting changes and in making suggestions for changes in operational areas. Instead Kalter encouraged the Delegate Committees to move in areas they had no business being in and the Board became and has become secondary to the Delegate Committees. Whether or not Mr. Menaker can change this directional move or even wants to do this is unknown but in order to get AKC moving in the right direction again some sort of swing away from the Delegate Committees and towards the Board itself is necessary to get the corporation more in line with the needs of the 21st Century than the direction it is headed in now!

and rather than to apologize and retell the story gave it similar feedback! What a shame.

ell the good news for Crufts revolves round the fact that the toxicology report for the poisoned Irish Setter seems to confirm the fact that the poor dog had been poisoned in Belgium some 36 hours after leaving England. It sounds as though some kind of pellets were eaten in the fields by the dog--see the entire report elsewhere in this issue. Also all the other copycat cases were just that publicity seeking dog owners none of whose dogs actually became ill at Crufts. Can you imagine the glee of the anti-pure bred dog people at the negative publicity spread by the British dalies with their MURDER AT CRUFTS headlines? It is my understanding that the retractions to the murder story if and when given by those slimy sensational seeking British newspapers were hidden in small paragraphs in the back of the papers. The American electronic reports reacted no better

One of the most popular events that I failed to mention at Crufts for the spectators (who numbered well over the 160,000 mark) is the Dancing Dogs act. One of the main participants is Richard Curtis, who writes a column on occasion about this event for DOG NEWS. Candidly the act is not one of my favorites but the crowds absolutely love it. I have long championed this event to be used at appropriate spectator shows in the U.S.A. to bring new people into dog shows and increase gates and attendance. Not everything must be oriented towards competitive competitions, which seems to be the thinking of those at the head of the Delegate Committees and the Board. A little reaching out to the general public with the dancing dogs would be one way to increase participation from the world of John Q Public into the dog show world itself, do you think? t would appear that the new Judges Approval Process has been refined by the Board and the Staff and will once again be sent out to selective people within the Fancy for their opinions. These kinds of opinion seeking surveys from the masses within the Fancy are to my mind basically useless as there will never be nor should there be a uniformity of opinion in this kind of an area. The Board is rightly or wrongly charged with determining the JAP--once it makes its mind up they should announce the decision-thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what being the leader meanstaking charge and acting on an issue. The time to seek outside opinion is prior to the enactment of the policy not afterwards. The Kalter Boards never could permanently make a decision in the JAP and kept vacillating. I would hope this new Menaker Board will act with a decisiveness never shown by the Kalter Boards even if the decisions are unpopular. At least you have an idea of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on instead of a paralysis by analysis situation. Dog News 121
