The Editorial POSITIVE AKC NEWS

The repeated calls in DOG NEWS (one as recently as last week) for the Board to take a look at the workings of The Young Kennel Club in the UK as a possible model to restructure our own Junior Showmanship programs were finally instituted by the Board according to the latest Board Minutes. That’s truly a positive step forward in this area and using MB O’Neill as the American representative another really smart move. Similarly the concept of establishing an AKC Development Department for fundraising efforts was announced. Long overdue is our thinking but at least another step in the right direction which will assist those 501(c)3 organizations such as CHF, Humane Fund, Reunite and interestingly the Museum of the Dog to go after the same small gene pool of people at a lower cost and more productively. Each affiliate’s participation would be on an opt-in basis with the degree of participation on a case-by-case basis. AKC’s Museum of the Dog being included may hopefully indicate a rethinking of attitude towards this potential gem which had lost direct financial contributions from AKC three years or so ago. These are two important positive psychological steps taken by the Menaker Board and should help restore a certain amount of confidence in the direction AKC is taking in certain areas other than the show world itself. Similarly according to the unaudited financial results revenues increased 3% over budget which predominately accounted for the successful outperformance in the first quarter. In fact according to the Minutes there was a 6% increase in registered litters and a 9% increase in registered dogs for 2016 compared to the first quarter of 2015. Positive news for a change and a positive attitude to work from in these areas for sure. Furthermore in the Compliance area there seems to be a willingness to handle complaints that allege conduct prejudicial to the best interests of purebred dogs in a more consistent and efficient manner. A full discussion of AKC Charter and Bylaws Article XII dealing with Complaints is at long, long last being talked about. This is a major victory --even to be merely discussed -- in an area long confused and misunderstood by so many people. Congrats to all on all of the above who were responsible for these innovations and to Alexandra Aleskovsky whose Business Update report was reported in full in the Minutes. Another step in the right direction!

NOT SO POSITIVE!!

It seems that the negative news contained in the Board Minutes revolve more in the conformation and show side of the report. First the positive step was in the NOHS Group Judging decision to prohibit a judge from judging the same NOHS group on the same weekend or at the same cluster or circuit and back-to-back shows. This no doubt due to the Trotter revelation in DOG NEWS that indeed this was happening and the subsequent QUESTION OF THE WEEK on the matter. The Board’s willingness to take up this issue based on that information was unusual but certainly appreciated. Not so appreciated however by these pages nor hopefully by the conformation world at large is the Board’s consideration of offering CHAMPIONSHIP POINTS FOR GROUP 2-3-4 Placements!! It’s questionable enough as far as these pages are concerned to award these in WD/bitch for a group first but to add the other 3 placements is downright totally unacceptable. Obviously whoever made this recommendation to the Board is unfamiliar with the quality that can be found within the Groups at all too many a show. Frequently one has to pull teeth to find a 3rd or 4th place ribbon in the Group but even if one had A-One quality at every show for every group placement this kind of thinking would totally denigrate and cheapen the American Championship title to the lowest level ever. Championship points should be based upon breed competition and the defeating of dogs within the breed and not the group. Period--that’s it-that’s the story! What a crazy unacceptable idea! There was no reported discussion about the new judging approval process contained in the Minutes. This process is fast running away with itself and the Board had best turn an ear in that direction that’s for sure. Insofar as the Canine College is concerned the reports are so confusing as to be incomprehensible however an intern is to be hired-to do what? Discuss Latin as the survey was presented in sent to the Judges while the Board has emphasized that the CC is considered an “enterprise” initiative”-whatever that may be and is not confined to judges education--then what is it all about? And lastly the Board is considering a ranking system for Juniors--come on now with the number of juniors collecting fees for handling growing daily that’s what the sport needs is a ranking system for Handlers. In these areas this Board just does not seem to get it.

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION

Four or five weeks ago when DOG NEWS reported the financial problems of the RKF with regard to the FCI’s World Dog Show and these pages contacted the President of the FCI who responded that the organization was investigating the criminal charges (of embezzlement) the reports about the situation came in from many organizations and individuals but nothing more

from the FCI. Whether the show itself will be held is in doubt although reports reaching these pages indicate that FCI has been meeting with representatives of the RKF. Another kennel club within Russia has offered to take over the running of the show but it is not a member of FCI--remember only one kennel club per country is its foundation Rule-so that if RKF seeks to exist how can the show be held? Watch for a compromise to be worked out with FCI and RKF to save face and still preserve the holding of the show. What with the visa situation and the internal problems within RKF it’s hard to imagine that within two or three short months this will be accomplished but somehow these pages believe some solution will probably be found. Allegedly there are at least 10,000 entries already with a huge number of unopened envelops sitting around the offices of RKF--that’s as reported to these pages from sources within FCI. And with the General Meeting to be held reporting on the possible changes being proposed for the running of FCI generally (due to the China problem) tough days look to face that organization for sure.

THE CANADIAN SITUATION

AKC and CKC (The Canadian Kennel Club) reportedly met on March 31 to discuss the usual topics including a reciprocal judging approval system! That was before of course the recent border incident of April 13th or 14th where a Canadian judge told Border Patrol he was coming in to judge a dog show and he was refused admission without working papers. Whether this is a singular incident or will be happening more frequently it looks as though some people are going to have to not tell the truth to cross the border in either direction or a new plan to cross the borders devised. What with the large number of Canadian judges coming here and vice versa this problem particularly in these troubled international days will be exacerbated in the long run, it is feared.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

AKC has now formed two new LLC’s in an effort to make money for the organization. Does it surprise anyone that neither of them have ever been mentioned in the Board Minutes? Smart Pet Technology, which deals with the development of the magic dog collar, is mentioned in the Corporate Employee Chart but AKC Pet Care is not insofar as these pages can find. The doggy daycare was officially incorporated in October 2015--this is almost May and with the exception of the real estate release not one word. As to the dog collar--nothing in months but in either case no mentioning in the Board Minutes at all!!!!

MONTGOMERY VERSUS THE NATIONAL TERRIER

Irving's Impressions By Ronnie Irving

The expression ‘comparisons are odious’ is often used to suggest that to compare two different things, or two different people, is an unhelpful or misleading exercise. Apparently the expression was invented in the middle of the 15th century and was later misquoted (arguably deliberately) by Shakespeare as ‘comparisons are odorous’ in his play ‘Much Ado About Nothing’. Whichever version of the phrase you prefer, the meaning is clear and that is that comparisons are not approved of. However, never having been worried about such literary sayings, I think it may be of interest to compare two iconic terrier shows. These two events are Montgomery County in the USA, and the National Terrier in the UK. In its own way each of these two shows says something about the fancy generally in the country it represents. The National Terrier Club was founded in 1903 and as such is the oldest of the national group shows in the UK by over fifty years. Montgomery held its first terrier show in 1929.

PIZZAZZ

I commented to someone recently that I thought that these two events were very different in that Montgomery always seems to me to have rather more pizzazz than its UK equivalent. The response I got was that this may well be so, but that the National Terrier Show is an event that is far closer to the original concept of dog showing; namely to get a collection of breeders together to compare breeding stock and thus plan breeding programs for the future. Each of these two differing views is perhaps somewhat biased. However that conversation set me to thinking about what the differences really are between the two shows and considering whether perhaps there were actually more similarities between them than variations. After all they both have around 1500 terriers entered and that is no mean feat these days when terriers are not exactly at the height of their popularity. In fact Montgomery in 2015 had 167 more dogs entered than National Terrier in 2016. I have to admit that I came to the conclusion that there were many differences between the two events. Firstly and most basically, Montgomery is an 14 Dog News

outdoor show while the National Terrier is indoors. Much of the pizzazz of which I spoke earlier is of course helped by this. While except in bad weather it is rather easier to ‘dress up’ an outdoor event with fancy tents and good ring furniture, it is obviously rather more difficult to make the Bingley Hall at the Staffordshire County Showground look like anything other than - the Bingley Hall at the Staffordshire County Showground. Even its strongest supporters wouldn’t suggest that it is the most elegant or salubrious of public buildings.

STAND-ALONE

Another difference is that while Montgomery is one of a series of several shows in a circuit with all the hype that such circuits bring with them, the National Terrier is a stand-alone event completely independent of any other shows. In addition the National Terrier does not have official support from breed clubs as does the Montgomery County. It should be remembered that all of the terrier breed clubs in the UK hold their own independent national specialty shows while, of the thirty breeds at Montgomery, twenty three are actually national specialties supported by the breed clubs. And while on the subject of the number of breeds, the Montgomery Show actually schedules three more breeds than National Terrier. In the UK TKC doesn’t recognize Rat Terriers or American Staffordshires at all, and the Miniature Schnauzer is not classified in the Terrier Group. Instead it is in our Utility Group. Without these three breeds, Montgomery would have had a slightly smaller numerical advantage, with only 33 more dogs entered than the National Terrier. In the table included with this

article, detailed entries in each breed are shown and the relative rankings are also given. The entries with asterisks are where the breed concerned has a National Specialty event run in conjunction with Montgomery. The most obvious differences in individual breed numbers are in the two top breeds at the National Terrier Show – Staffordshire Bull Terriers with 184 dogs and Border Terriers with 158 against 41 and 92 respectively at Montgomery. In actual fact these two levels of UK entries, while just a bit above average, are not unusual for these two breeds in this country. The average number of entries over all of the championship points shows for Staffordshire Bull Terriers in the UK in 2015, was 153 and for Border Terriers it was 130. At the other end of the scale Norwich Terriers in the UK have an average of only 25 dogs entered at UK championship shows whereas at Montgomery County they managed to muster 103 dogs. It always amazes me that the popularity of Norwich and Norfolk Terriers is the opposite way around on each side of the Atlantic with Norfolks here invariably having higher entry numbers.

PROFESSIONAL HANDLERS

Another difference between the two shows is the number of professional handlers involved, versus the number of breeder owner exhibitors. I don’t have the precise figures, but I’m prepared to bet that by far the majority of dogs shown at Montgomery were handled by professionals whereas at the National Terrier the equivalent would be less than 5 per cent. This is natural of course, because of the vast size of the USA, the number of shows there, and the distances from which some exhibits have to come to reach Montgomery.

Is there a new drug on the market for arthritis in dogs?

VET

By Merry Fitzgerald, DVM.

Yes, there is. Galliprant is the brand name for grapiprant tablets marketed by Aratana Therapeutics, Inc., a pet therapeutics company focused on the licensing, development and commercialization of innovative biopharmaceutical products for companion animals. The FDA approved Galliprant for the control of pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis in dogs. The new drug is expected to be available to veterinarians in fall 2016. Galliprant is the first approved product in the new piprant class. It is a prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) EP4 receptor antagonist, a non-cyclooxygenase inhibiting, non-steroidal and antiinflammatory drug. Galliprant blocks PGE2-elicited pain and inflammation. Other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), such as Deramaxx (deracoxib) and Previcox (firocoxib), are members of the coxib class. Metacam (meloxicam) is in the oxicam class. Rimadyl, Vetprofen, Novox, Quellin, Imadyl, Imafen and Rovera are brand names for carprofin, an NSAID of the propionic acid class that includes ibuprofen, naproxen, and ketoprofen. All of these drugs are prescribed to reduce inflammation by inhibition of COX-2 and other sources of inflammatory prostaglandins. Some dogs respond better to one class of NSAIDs than another. Historically, NSAIDs have been reported to have adverse reactions, such as gastrointestinal, liver and kidney problems, so the search continues for the safest NSAID. These drugs can be taken short- or long-term. Annual or semi-annual blood work is recommended for dogs that are taking these drugs continually. It has not been established if NSAIDs can be used safely in pregnant or nursing bitches, or dogs used for breeding. NSAIDs should not be given to dogs that are also taking steroids, as the combination can cause ulcers in the stomach.

Why does my small dog receive the same amount of vaccine as a large dog? More owners are questioning the frequency and amount of the vaccines given to their dogs. W. Jean Dodds, DVM recently published the results of her study exploring whether a half-dose of the canine parvovirus and distemper vaccine could provide adequate immunity in small dogs. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies (substances produced by the body to Continued on page 74

Question the

Under the new judging system Field Reps may not question the decisions of any placements made by a person with a Group or more. They may only question procedural matters.

The Danger of Importing Dogs B y Car l ot t a Co o per “Disappointed” is probably too mild to describe the feelings of the San Diego family that adopted a dog that was said to be a rescued Korean meat dog http:// www.10news.com/news/family-blameshumane-society-for-dogs-death-041516. “Heartbroken” is a better description. Humane Society International has been bringing dogs to the U.S. from South Korea http://globalnews.ca/news/2232879/100puppies-rescued-from-south-korean-dogmeat-farm-get-a-second-chance-at-life/ that, according to HSI, come from meat farms. They sent over 100 puppies to shelters across the western United States in September 2015 – just one of several such shipments to the U.S. last year. In March 2015 57 puppies and adult dogs were sent to shelters in the Bay area of California. In 2013-14 it’s believed that similar shipments of meat dogs from South Korea to the Chicago area http://news.vin. com/VINNews.aspx?articleId=36524 by HSI brought a new form of canine influenza to the U.S. The family that adopted Buddy had him checked out by a veterinarian and everything seemed to be fine. He passed standard exams and he had vet records from HSI. According to the family, Buddy was eating well at first. Then he refused to eat or drink any water. Buddy, described as a mastiff, was in training to be a service dog for a family member with PTSD and a combat-related brain injury. The only thing out of the ordinary that the family noticed about Buddy was that he had a tense abdomen and started shaking. When they took Buddy to the vet it was found that Buddy had a pre-existing condition – his intestines had grown to the walls of his abdomen and he was unable to pass any food. Buddy was euthanized. Now the family is asking why anyone else should have to go through what they have been through. HSI is deflecting any blame, saying that Buddy passed all of his check-ups and that, without symptoms, there was no need to do an internal exam. They noted that each family is offered the option of a complimentary vet exam. But Buddy’s 26 Dog News

owners think that dogs that come from meat farms need to be checked out and examined thoroughly. They hope their story will help others. While this is a sad story and you have to feel bad for Buddy and his owners, it also raises lots of other issues. First and foremost, organizations are importing 300,000-500,000 puppies and dogs into the U.S. each year with no more oversight than Buddy received – and people flock to adopt them. They come with all kinds of hard luck stories to touch your heart from South Korea, Turkey, China, Mexico, eastern European countries, and elsewhere. There is minimal oversight of the groups importing these dogs and on more than one occasion paperwork has been tampered with and forged to bring in dogs that were later found to be sick. Most of us would probably agree that it’s foolish to believe an unsocialized dog bred and raised as a meat dog would make a good service dog, but who knows what this family was told by HSI. It is completely irrational for dog breeders in the United States – whether they are hobbyists or commercial breeders – to be criticized for breeding dogs when groups like HSI import dogs from other countries. We have reached the point where people are choosing to get an unsocialized dog from a meat farm, not bred for health, temperament, appearance or any desirable dog traits instead of buying a dog that has been bred and raised with care by a breeder. It’s almost impossible to explain something so ridiculous. Only a group that really doesn’t care about dogs or people could perpetrate this kind of scam. If you read the comments following this story online you will find people rushing to defend HSI. It’s true that it’s not possible to guarantee that a dog you sell will never get sick. But if Buddy came from a breeder, how many people would be defending the breeder? It’s more likely that people online would be gathering tar and feathers. Yet HSI gets a pass. Perhaps we should be asking why these groups are importing nearly half a million dogs/puppies annually and why people are jumping to adopt them. According to experts who have conducted surveys, it takes about

7-8 million puppies/dogs per year to provide Americans with dogs. Not only has there been a decline in the number of show breeders since 1992 (when AKC registrations were at their high point), but there has also been a decline in the number of commercial breeders. Not just those who register with AKC, but those who register with any registry. There are fewer purebred dogs being born in this country. People are adopting mixed breeds and then promptly spaying and neutering them. They’re spaying and neutering purebreds, too, for that matter. People who talk about dog “overpopulation” are woefully behind in their rhetoric. Today many people are concerned about a puppy shortage. If you Google “puppy shortage” you will find all sorts of interesting articles online – articles recommending that shelters start breeding their own mixed breed dogs to meet the demand; the effect of spay/ neuter laws in many states; empty cages at shelters in some areas, including parts of the South; legislation that has driven many breeders away from breeding, and the list goes on. You will certainly find reference to importing dogs/puppies from outside the country to meet the demand for dogs in the U.S. Unless breeders start breeding more dogs to meet some of this demand, groups will only continue to import more dogs and puppies from outside the country. Clearly the dogs they are bringing into the U.S. are not suitable pets in many ways. They cannot compare to a carefully raised puppy from a breeder. Some people who adopt meat dogs and other imported dogs do realize this fact eventually but we need to do more to make sure we have purebred puppies available. We need to make sure people like Buddy’s family have a choice so they don’t end up in the clutches of HSI trying to make a service dog out of a dog from a meat farm. Coming Soon: Yet another reason why you should breed more!

This Judge’s Point Of View

ow many times do we have to be hit over the head before we learn to adjust? Health issues in our breeding plans and at dog shows is cyclical, so why aren’t we used to adjusting? We all know that one definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. So why do we do it? As was recently reported by Merck Animal Health, “Canine influenza first appeared in the United States in 2003, and, in 2015, a new strain emerged – H3N2 – which has already affected dogs in half of all U.S. states. It has been reported that H3N2 produces 10 times more virus than the original strain (H3N8), making it far more contagious.” This influenza is so new and virile that essentially any dog that comes into contact with it will become very ill. According to clinical studies by researchers at the University of Wisconsin, H3N2 may be shed for an extended period of time – up to 24 days, which is far longer than what is seen with H3N8.1. As a result, the infection can spread quickly among social dogs in - like show events. Every year at shows right after the Westminster Kennel Club show and that of the AKC Eukanuba National Championship show, there is an outbreak of something. With thousands of dogs from all over the world attending these shows - and crowds of people transporting whatever their pets at home may have had - all it takes is one or two sick dogs to be the starting point for illnesses spread across the country. It is also true that at many shows - not only outdoor shows - the general public brings their un-entered dogs. In today’s environment of wanting to be all things to all people, the rule against un-entered dogs is overlooked. I know we cannot prevent every illness from spreading, but judges not touching each dog’s mouth would be a good start. Exhibitors and handlers are traveling back and forth across the country a lot more than when I was a handler (of course

that was the horse and buggy days) so the possibility of a disease usually confined to one area now has a much greater population to infect. A couple of years ago another influenza was working its way through dog shows, coast to coast. At that time, the AKC Judging Operations Department, through the AKC conformation Field Representatives, issued a directive asking judges to have the exhibitor show the dog’s bite rather than going from dog to dog, touching their mouths. It just makes sense for judges not to pass along a disease due to their judging procedure. I am well aware that most judges learn their procedure when they were exhibitors and that is how the judges of their day did things. Most have used the same procedure since they first were approved, so it is hard to change now. But it is past time for the AKC to set procedural guidelines for in-ring actions to protect everyone involved. It was a long time ago that I established the procedure that I still use in the ring today, and a lot of how and why I do things was formulated because I continued to show dogs for a long time after being approved to judge. When showing my dogs, I always show my dog’s bite as the judge approaches to get that out of the way, and so the judge does not pass on whatever was in the mouths of the previous one hundred dogs she examined. I also have shown some young, nervous dogs who found it hard enough to stay still the first few times in the ring, and trying to get them back under control after a judge checks the bite was an added battle. Knowing this, checking bites is the last thing I do as a judge, and I always have the exhibitor show me the bite. With the addition of more and more special attractions - like puppy groups,

Judging Procedure For Safety

30 Dog News

veteran groups, and bred-by groups - dogs now face the possibility of having more than one person examining their mouths, and not all of them know the safest way to do this. Recently, a friend showed her eleven month old puppy, that is “vaccinated against everything” since she plans to show him. Poor guy came home from a show and shortly after came down with a strain of Bordatella (probably not a strain covered in the vaccination) and then got pneumonia. He was very sick. Thankfully, good veterinary care pulled him through. At the show just before this pup got sick, the judge in the regular classes had the owner show the bite, however the judge in the puppy group, touched each dog’s mouth during the examination. Is this where the pup contracted the disease? Who knows? But why take the chance? I wonder how many other dogs were sick when they got home. As long as we are talking about safety, what about the judges? Of course experienced judges usually can see a potential problem by using “dog sense,” but there are dogs who give little or no warning before biting - and the judge checking bites just puts the judge, handler, and dog in an unnecessarily dangerous position. Why do this? The AKC has no problem telling judges they should not kneel down while examining a dog (and rightly so), why not state that judges should not touch mouths? With the great increase of shows and the resultant greater travel from one part of the country to another any infection can spread quickly among social dogs - like in show events. Judges, alone, don’t bear the sole responsibility. Owners/handlers can help to reduce spread of disease by preventing nose-to-nose and nose-to-tail contact between dogs, preventing dogs from sharing water bowls, and don’t bring immuno-compromised dogs to the show (young puppies, old dogs, pregnant bitches, dogs on immunosuppressive therapy) and, of course, don’t bring sick dogs to the show. And for those show that have inside exercise pens - how about changing the shavings a lot more often? If these things only saved one life or illness, isn’t it worth it? What do you think?

Ten Questions asked of

Doug Johnson

Born: Waynesboro, VA • Reside: Bloomington, IN Marital Status: Actually MARRIED! • Astrological Sign: Taurus...no shock

1 2

When did you start showing and how did that first show go? I went to my first dog show in January of 1985. The puppy I had was BEST of BREED under Everett Dean, who would later become a mentor and great friend.

How difficult was it to finish your championship? We didn’t show often but this dog finished quickly. I was a young kid and just learning. I was not skilled in the ring but learned how to present him. This dog taught me as much as he could. He was the perfect beginner’s dog.

3 4 5

Other than your own breed, what other breeds do you like? I would have a zoo if I could...I really like these weird breeds (like my own) but I could easily have a Neo or a Dandie, a Puli, Tibetan Mastiff, Bergamasco--you get the picture!

Which dog person of the opposite sex would you be? Probably Carol Harris. She has longevity and is such a smart breeder!

How do you feel about AKC’s role in our sport? Frankly, I think the AKC does the best they can given the current cultural climate. We all suffer from the lack of breeders in the sport from the top to the bottom.

38 Dog News

6 7 8 9 10

How many shows do you attend a year, and which three are your favorite ones? About 30 shows a year. My favorites are American Spaniel Club, Westminster KC, Santa Barbara KC and our Nationals.

Who from dogs would you like to see on the television show “Duck Dynasty?” Having never watched the show, but understanding the premise, I would say Elaine Lessig---not sure who would survive!

What things in the world of dogs bring you the greatest joy? My dogs bring me great joy. Either sharing their company or enjoying the company of those who share that same love of dogs... building a family out of the fancy brings me joy.

What characteristics do you admire in others and strive to emulate? Kindness, truthfulness, conviction, strength and courage are traits I admire.

If you could afford to host an elegant catered dinner party, name at least three dogs and/or people you would like to invite? My party would include my own Clussexx Billy Goats Gruff and Everett Dean, Ron Pemberton and Margaret Curtis. We could all talk Clumbers! It would be great to be in their company again.

Dog News 43

his story is inspired by the article “A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THE SPORT” written by Drew Deaton, a young man who has passion for the dog hobby and has witnessed good and bad treatment to newcomers and gave me something to think about. I believe he has gumption and I know I have someone just like him in my life. So many of us who have been in the dog hobby for decades worry about what will come of it all because there are not enough young people joining the ranks to breed and show great dogs. It is often written there are “no young people coming into our sport” and “no one wants to be mentored, they want to know everything NOW”...and so on. I have a success story and it was all her doing. Had she not pursued me, I couldn’t write this story and our hobby might be shy one bright star. Although it is still a young story, only has a few years under it’s belt and my little mentor job hasn’t yielded what I know will come down the road, so far for her, this young woman has done REALLY well with a dog she got from me. More on that later, let’s go to the beginning. She contacted me about 5 years ago to buy a top quality bitch to start a breeding program and said she really wanted someone to mentor her. She came from the dog world, her parents bred Labradors and she lived in the Western part of Massachusetts and was still in school. I was so wrapped up with myself and showing, coursing, judging and breeding, I didn’t have any time to do a mentoring again after so many had gone bad over the years. I wasn’t going to waste time on another “child” who wouldn’t listen. I preferred to keep the best one or two from my litters for myself and sell the rest to companion homes. That way, I didn’t have to “deal” with anyone. Since I have always been good at communication when people contact me about my dogs, I answered her email, and made her answer all the usual questions, including filling out my online application as well and asked her to jump through lots of hoops, but told her I had nothing for her. At that time, I just didn’t take her seriously. Timing is everything, as you will see. She kept in touch, I told her to be patient, all the while, in my negativity, thinking the usual, “oh no, I can’t let this person I do not know have one of my dogs to breed!” What if she is a train wreck of a person (I remembered what a flake I was at her age) and my bloodlines wind up in one of “those” situations, or a puppy mill! I told her I was exhibiting at Westminster that year (2011) and if she was in the area, to come see me. I didn’t expect to see her, and forgot all about it. Imagine my surprise when she showed up at my

set up at the Garden. She introduced herself and I was of course shocked. She was an engaging, attractive young woman with long red hair and immediately said she was REALLY ready to get a dog and asked would I help her. Well, I was too tightly wound to see what I had standing in front of me, so I thanked her for coming, (she drove by herself from Massachusetts to NYC, paid the fee and came in to see ME). I told I didn’t have anything and sent her away. I wonder what she was thinking at that moment. I am still mortified at how I treated her. At this point, I think she got the impression that she was being blown off. We kept in touch, but I didn’t take any of what she said seriously. Then I got an email from her, informing me she was buying a dog from someone in North Carolina. She drove to pick up her puppy. The breeder informed her that the puppy had broken a toe. She took the puppy anyway and contacted me about the foot. I met her at a show and the puppy had one toe with broken ligaments. I asked why she took the dog or didn’t return it and she informed me she was already in love with this cute little mostly white puppy. Of course I was angry at the other breeder for letting this dog go to someone who clearly wanted something to show. But I was supportive of her kindness toward this little puppy. Then she told me she had inquired to a top surgeon about how to fix it and what it was going to cost. When she said more than $1,600, I told her to contact the breeder about paying for it. I don’t recall if she did, but the breeder didn’t pay for anything, or refund her money. And she spent additional money on rehab, for a total of over $2,000. My little friend, being mature and kind, spent the money to have her dog repaired, which unfortunately didn’t take. The bitch grew up to be a lovely bitch, worthy of a title, but she couldn’t put any points on her because of her flat foot. I encouraged her to think positive and that she would, based on her pedigree, make a fine brood bitch. Some time around this same time, she shaved her head of lovely long red hair to give to “Locks Of Love” for wig making to benefit children with cancer. This was someone special. At that point, feeling very guilty and beginning to realize I had a real find trying to get under

“She isn’t my child, but I don’t know when I have ever felt this kind of parental pride EVER!”

my wing, I made arrangements to place in her possession, the above mentioned bitch, of my breeding, but told her I was going to finish her show title (I worried the dog would never finish unless I did it), which she did over the next two weekends. She let me take her to field trials after that to finish her F Ch title. She was in her last year of college and said she was going to drop out, with only a year left, to get a job so she could do more dog shows, buy a house and breed. I could tell she was going through something rough, so met with her, bought her lunch and told her she must get her degree, that dog shows and breeding would wait. She listened. I am sure her parents, wonderful people, helped sway her to finish too. It was only when she got get her degree and invited me to her graduation party that I “had to come because it was what I had said to her at the meeting that helped her make the decision to finish her education”. I was absolutely overwhelmed to hear that I had influenced a young person in such a positive way. So now we arrive at today. She was in a two way tie to win a Regional specialty under a breeder judge against a very successful breeder of top quality dogs who has won a national specialty, regional specialties and probably stopped counting all the big wins in the classes and the breeds at specialties. I even gave a bitch of her breeding a regional specialty. She has really good dogs! And my little protégé was with her to the end. I know this because the judge called the next day, after viewing the catalog, to say how much she loved the bitch and even wanted a puppy out of her, hopefully from one of her own dogs. After that experience, she exhibited the same bitch at our National and made it to the VERY end (100+ Champions) among so many other really beautiful dogs. Yes, she has a good dog, but this girl drove all by herself from Massachusetts to Maryland to exhibit ONE day. That is gumption and it will be rewarded. Although the bitch came to her finished, in the ring and as a field champion, she put her GCh title on her very quickly and even made the decision on her own, this year, to enter Westminster and she MADE THE CUT! I watched the live streaming and received dozens of messages on social media and privately about how great she and her little dog did and how proud I should be. She isn’t my child, but I don’t know when I have ever felt this kind of parental pride EVER! I am completely committed to her success and inspired by her continued dedication to her dogs and the hobby. In truth I wonder how much she really needs me at this point. She makes smart choices all by herself. I am very protective of her and try to encourage her to avoid negative people. She is well liked by the dog community and is very friendly and a good sport, but she has witnessed behavior similar to what Drew wrote about. The title of this story is A Gift. Kelsi Watkins is my gift to the dog hobby. I look forward to watching her progress as an owner and eventually breeder/owner/handler and positive role model for young people for decades to come. I consider her a mentoree, and my protégé. And she has abundant gumption.

Off The Leash By Shaun Coen

Pets Are Property, Another ‘Guilty Until Proven Innocent’ Bill, MSN, BSL and Limit Laws

hile heading to the polls on primary day in New York (April 19) it was never more apparent how important elections are in this country at every level and how many aspects of our lives are affected by decisions made by the people we elect. For dog owners on both coasts and in the heartland elected officials on committees considered proposals this week that could drastically impact their lives. A couple of bills proposed in Connecticut were being considered this week that may impact the legal status of animals in the state and all residents are urged to immediately contact their representatives. Currently pending in the Connecticut General Assembly are House Bill 5344, which seeks to create court-appointed animal advocates in court cases involving pets, and Senate Bill 228, which seeks to allow noneconomic damages in cases involving injury to a pet. Dogs have a special place in our lives and society holds them in high esteem but these proposals, which on first reading may sound appealing to those who value dogs’ worth, could carry long-term consequences that outweigh any benefits that may be realized should they come to fruition. Providing advocates for animals in court cases may impact the legal status of animals in the state and could allow for outside organizations and interests to influence cases. Allowing third-party appointees to use the court system to make decisions based on their belief of what is in the best interest of the animal is a very dangerous path that could ultimately lead to forcing dog owners to relinquish the rights to care for their property. One must question the need for either of these proposals, as there are criminal laws on the books that prohibit animal cruelty and civil laws that address both intentional and negligent injury and killing of animals. These laws have served us well for over two hundred years, as has the tradition that pets are considered the legal property of their owners. While every effort must be made to deter animal abuse and promote responsible pet ownership and quality care, far-reaching efforts to fundamentally change laws based purely on emotions must be opposed. Another of those dreaded “guilty until proven innocent bills” might take hold in Illinois, despite the efforts of the Illinois Federation of Dog Clubs and Owners (IFDCO), the American Kennel Club and concerned dog owners. The IFDCO and its constituents have been facing a plethora of bills concerning dogs, but like the MassFed and

similar groups, it has been doing yeoman’s work keeping informed and alerting fellow dog owners. An Illinois committee was to consider a bill this week that would make several changes to the laws regarding those charged with cruelty and whose animals are seized. The bill – House Bill 4443 – would require someone to be arrested without a warrant on suspicion of a violation and offers owners little if any recourse if their dogs are seized and then harmed while in another person’s care. Contained in the bill is a requirement that peace officers arrest without warrant or issue to appear in person any person who violates the state’s cruelty laws but the language is so vague that someone who is only accused of cruelty but hasn’t been found guilty may be arrested. It also allows for the cost of caring for the animals to be charged to the owner even if they weren’t the ones who were charged with cruelty. Furthermore, it grants immunity from civil liability to those who are caring for the seized dogs for any allegations of negligence unless the act is the result of willful or wanton misconduct. Those who reside in Illinois and those who partake in dog events in the state should contact the House Executive Committee to let them know that these changes are unacceptable. Colton, California, the City Council is In considering an ordinance that would require the sterilization of all dogs and

cats over the age of seven within city limits. There are some exemptions provided for those with certain medical conditions and it allows for residents to maintain an unaltered dog if they have an unaltered dog license but the ordinance is unclear about who will be able to obtain those. The proposal does mention circumstances in which licenses may be denied or revoked, including those in violation of the state law or municipal code related to the care and control of animals but it fails to clearly state how requests will be approved for unaltered dog licenses. Exemptions are also provided for those who are defined as “recognized dog or cat breeders, as defined by City policy.” Breeders are defined as those who breed for pay or other compensation, make a dog or cat available for breeding purposes, or who sell or offer for sale any dog or cat. Breeders are also required to have a city business license, which may prove difficult for hobby

breeders depending on zoning designations. As the AKC pointed out in an eleventh hour alert on the proposal, it “is extremely concerned about the lack of detail as to who would qualify as [a] ‘breeder’ and what they would need to do to maintain that status. It is unreasonable to vote on an ordinance which does not provide this vital information to residents.” Colton is located in San Bernardino County and adopted the Riverside County breed-specific MSN ordinance that requires the sterilization of any dog deemed a “pit bull,” which is defined as any “Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier breed of dog, or any mixed breed of dog which contains as an element of its breeding, any of these breeds so as to be identifiable as partially of one or more of these breeds” by the age of four months and allows the county animal control department’s Chief Veterinarian or designee to determine whether the dog will be classified as a pit bull. Good luck getting a correct classification under that definition. Any dog with a blocky head or muscular build will be in danger of being declared a “pit bull”. For good measure, the bill also includes a limit law along with MSN and BSL, by prohibiting the keeping of more than 10 dogs, cats or any combination of thereof in a single family dwelling unit (though animals under six months of age shall not be included in this limit). Limit laws, like MSN and BSL, are ineffective and unfairly discriminate against responsible dog owners. This is another shortsighted proposal, as it could result in owners relinquishing pets to the local shelter system, where taxpayers will be further burdened with paying to house and/or euthanize them. The final insult in the ordinance is that it provides that ANY impoundment will lead to sterilization, even on the first offense and if an owner has an intact animal license! This is totally unreasonable, unnecessary and unacceptable and void of practicality. Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and the Colton City Council will come to a sensible conclusion that these measures will do nothing to increase responsible dog ownership among its residents and will scrap the ordinance altogether. Wherever dog owners are coming under attack, we must remain united and committed in protecting their rights. It’s bad enough when bad bills are enacted; it’s even worse to see them replicated elsewhere, which is something we all must consider as we enter the voting booths. It’s a good time to remind legislators that we own dogs and we vote.

The Weimaraner

A HIGH ENERGY HUNTER

By M.J. Nelson

he Weimaraner has been through a lot in North America and that’s no exaggeration. While the original Weimar Pointers had been around Germany since the 19th century, where the breed was prized for its versatile hunting ability and wonderful temperament, the Weimaraner did not appear in North America in any significant number until the early 1940s largely because the Germans balked at exporting them. But World War II changed that, as it changed a lot of things in Europe. It likely was difficult to keep dogs in wartime Europe, which meant a lot of high quality Weims were sent to the United States. However, the breed did not become popular until the 1950s when the Weimaraner Club of America hired a professional publicist who promoted the breed as a “super dog” that would out-hunt all the other versatile hunting breeds. The publicist was good at his work and his publicity struck a chord, which led to a surge in the number of Weims bred and sold. But, when his exaggerated claims were exposed as hyperbole, the breed’s reputation as a gun dog took a severe hit. About the same time, dog show enthusiasts latched on to the Weimaraner as a flashy beauty in the show ring and they paid little attention to their dogs’ abilities in the field as they emphasized only appearance in their breeding decisions. However, through it all, a dedicated group of breeders kept the “faith” and continued to strive to breed to the standard, both in appearance and in the breed’s historical versatility. Then, in the 1990s, the breed’s reputation as a gun dog suffered another blow when professional photographer William Wegman began using his Weims as subjects in his photos. This again created an upsurge in popularity with its attendant abuses that served to once more undermine the efforts of those Weimaraner people determined to preserve the breed’s character, conformation and abilities. But, these people continued to persevere, which meant that when the variety of dog sports began Bree (Ch SHR Monshadow’s Xquisite to blossom beginning with the hunt test program in the mid-1980s, Breeze CD MH JHR SDX RDX VX2), there were Weimaraners capable of doing and excelling at these Jean Villa’s Weimaraner, does the job new activities. the breed was intended to do. “Because they are versatile hunting dogs, they should be able to Ashlee leaves the run long distances through a variety of covers, use their noses to find line for a retrieve at game and then retrieve that game to the hunter. What this means is a field test. that they should be athletic and cooperative with a strong instinct for tracking. This pretty much covers the abilities a dog needs for most dog sports. When you add the breed’s intelligence and their desire to please, it makes them great partners for virtually any dog sport you might want to do. They have excellent noses and are natural-born trackers. Many people have commented that doing tracking tests with a Weimaraner is like cheating but having taken a dog to her champion tracker title, I’d have to say that’s a bit of an exaggeration Betty (Am/Can Ch HIT Trax Ugly Betty Am/ Champion tracker Ashlee (Ch CT MACH 8 Regen’s although they truly are very easy to teach to Can CD MH TD Can TDX FDX NAVDHA She’s on Fire VCD3 UD RN MH JHR MXS3MJB3 MXF track,” said Bruce Bahcall, who owns Ashlee NA1), one of Shirley Nilsson’s Weimaraners, MFG TQX T2B5 RDX SDX VX5) and Bruce Bahcall (Ch CT MACH 8 Regen’s She’s on Fire VCD3 is well on her way to a dual championshp. on a VST test.

A well-bred Weim should be able to go out, do what is asked of it and return home at the end of the day to be a great family companion. This breed is so smart and willing. They really want their people to be pleased with them. But channeling their high energy can be both an obstacle and a challenge. They enjoy any highly stimulating activity.

dition to their historical job as gun dogs. They truly enjoy any activity as long as they are moving and with their people. One thing I really appreciate is that they are very loving with my two year-old son. They are capable of excelling at just about any job you want them to do. Surprisingly, field work was probably the most difficult for Wrigley (Ch Silversmith Price Catch MH RN CGC SD NRD VX). She loves the field and is amazing at it but she had to learn to control her passion and excitement and focus on the job. She had to learn the difference between playtime and getting down to business doing what was asked of her in the field. For a dog to be able to hold point while a bird is flushed, have someone shoot a bird over the dog and not have the dog succumb to its immediate instinct to go and get that bird, or to honor another dog while a bird is shot for the running dog and that dog makes the retrieve takes a great deal of focus and attention on the part of the dog,” said Danielle Hobson. “As a breed, Weimaraners are one of the continental pointing breeds bred for athleticism, cooperation with their handler and versatility in the hunt field. As a versatile hunting dog, Weimaraners are expected to naturally search for and point upland game birds, track wounded birds or deer, retrieve upland birds or waterfowl and also hunt and retrieve other small furred game such as rabbits. Many competition or working tests relate directly to the Weimaraners’ historical work as a field dog or exploit one of the breed’s natural attributes. Tracking tests, pointing and retrieving trials and tests, nose work, barn hunt search and rescue and dock diving would fall in this category. Other events such as lure coursing or agility exploit the breed’s natural athleticism. As a result, Weimaraners have a jump on many other breeds when it comes to changing gears from one competition or working venue to another,” said Shirley Nilsson, whose dogs Betty (Am/Can Ch HIT Trax Ugly Betty Am/Can CD MH TD Can TDX FDX NAVDHA NA1) is well on her way to dual championships in both the U.S. and Canada and Reese (Am/Can Ch PM TRAX Day Tripper Am/Can TD NA NAJ) who has a major win in an all-breed open gun dog field trial stake. “Weimaraners are really very bright, fun-loving dogs,” said Jean Villa, who runs her dog Bree (Ch SHR Monshadow’s Xquisite Breeze CD MH JHR SDX RDX VX2) in the field and competes in obedience. “I’ve seen many different Weimaraners succeed in tracking, obedience, agility and retrieving. If they have a calm personality, they also make great therapy dogs. This truly is a breed that needs to be engaged and working. For one thing, it makes for more relaxed and happy evenings for their owners, that’s for sure. Unfortunately, a lot of breeders just look at conformation angles, head pieces and tail sets and health testing in making their breeding decisions. While that’s all well and good, these dogs are going to spend most of their time outside the show ring, which means it is important to also look at temperament and performance abilities and I applaud those breeders who do. It’s really a pleasure to watch a dog doing what it is bred to do and it’s nice, once one sport is mastered, that there are lots of other choices available.” “Weimaraners are athletic, family dogs and they need exercise. But one of the issues we face is that the hunting instincts of our show lines are declining. Like other breeds in the sporting group, we’re suffering from the show/field divide. I’ve seen a number of pups from top show lines indicate absolutely no interest in birds. Only about 20 percent of Weimaraner breeders are breeding dogs to compete in the show ring, in performance and in the field with another 10 percent breeding strictly for field ability. Unfortunately, the “field bred” dogs have great hunting ability but often are small and have poor conformation. The other 70 percent are breeding only for the show ring and while conformation and movement are important, I’d hate to think I had bred a whole line of dogs that had a conformation championship but couldn’t or wouldn’t hunt. Historically we had dual champions and field champions within the show lines but in the 1970s, a field line was established and you have to decide, as a breeder, whether you want to cross your show dogs with the field lines. I have not because I’ve been fortunate

Two of Nilsson’s Weimaraners needed a better view of the field.

to have found dogs with strong hunting genes and prey drive within the show lines. I’ve found that when Weims are bred for prey drive, they are often perfect dogs for most activities. They love to be working and learning and whatever you train them for, they love it. But, a high drive dog is not for everyone. They require training and owner involvement in training and they are not for wimpy people. They are dominant dogs that will take over if given a chance. Every day a Weimaraner will check to see if you are still in charge. Those beautiful, adorable blue-eyed puppies will need to be trained and a Weim owner has to be willing to set limits and provide the necessary training,” said Elena Smith Lamberson, who owns Summit (BIF BISS Multi Gp winner Ch. Pikes Peak Silversmith Summit MH SX NRD VX BROM), Catcher (GCh Silversmith Catch of the Day MH NRD NSD NAVHDA UT3 CA CGC VX BROM,) Eva (Ch Silversmith Blosser Evolution MH NRD SDX VX BROM FROM) and Ruger (BISS GCh Silversmith Synchronous Triggerfish SH SCX). One of the challenges in training a Weimaraner is keeping them focused, according to Bahcall. “It’s not always easy keeping their focus or attention on a task. They tend to be environmentally aware and that can disrupt their focus when they’re working. You have to make sure that working or training is more fun for them than any environmental distraction that might occur. But, for the most part, a Weimaraner with the proper temperament is a pleasure to live with, train with and compete with in any activity.” One significant problem facing the breed, according to Hobson, is poor breeding and people buying Weimaraners for the wrong reasons. “Puppy mills or people breeding without even a rudimentary knowledge of inheritable traits and faults destroys the work of those who are carefully studying pedigrees and looking for the best possible matches. There are many breeders who have worked very hard to make sure the Weimaraner meets the standard and are working hard to ensure their dogs are well-rounded competitors and family dogs.” The most significant issue facing the breed, however, is the split between show and field lines. “We face a Summit (BIF BISS Multi Gp real challenge trying to keep the conformation and temwinner Ch.

Smith Lamberson’s WeimaBahcall added, “A Weimaraner should be friendly, raners, is one of the breed’s dogs that combines both a fearless, alert and obedient. Dogs that succeed in many great show career with an different activities display the traditional breed temperoutstanding field career. ament. But, the separation between ‘working’ dogs and ‘conformation’ dogs is a problem. It is my opinion that some of the conformation dogs are being bred without the proper consideration for the temperament and skills required to do what the breed was intended to do, which is to be a versatile hunting dog.” “I think breeders need to take responsibility for the future of our breed by insisting that proven field ability be part of their breeding program and by that I mean proof of titles beyond junior. About eight years ago, a group of breeders who think the same as I do got together and we created the Dual Weimaraner Sponsored Achievement Award Program which encourages and rewards owners of show champions who earn a senior or master hunter title on their dogs with a full page ad in the Weimaraner magazine. It is a huge asset for the breed to have dedicated breeders who have the knowledge, intuition and experience to successfully merge conformation and hunting so we can keep producing and improving the versatile Weimaraner,” said Lamberson.

t’s been a long seven months since the new judging approval system has gone into effect and each time the Secretary’s pages have come out more and more people have been listed as having been approved for more and more breeds. On occasion I have written about what was going on and yes even spoken to a Board member or two and Staff members--three or four-- about what I perceived as being a major problem in the making. And basically the Board members acted as though I did not know what I was talking about, one even said to me you are wrong there has been no great increase and this despite the Board Minutes themselves announcing the dramatic increases in the awarding of and applying for new breeds. Staff basically has its hands tied as all they can do is implement what was passed but the latest conversation I had about what I consider this problem of awarding even more breeds prior to a person even doing provisionals on breeds just awarded was answered with the amazing remark that “Staff is being too liberal in awarding these breeds” or words to that affect. I was surprised, as I never realized that Staff was given the opportunity to interpret these new Rules as they saw fit. What is in writing is in writing and now we are hearing that Staff does not have to hand out the breeds as written? They are being too liberal in interpreting these new judging approval rules I was told!! Come on that’s the biggest bunch of malarkey I have ever heard. Sure judges are delighted, some get 31 breeds at a time or as they apply for more breeds before having judged one new breed for which they have been approved they can apply for more breeds! What a bonanza as performances are not only ignored they are not needed so long as one has one group! Is it any wonder the more shows you attend the more complaints there are about judging today? Most of the judges are thrilled but what about the exhibitors? What difference does it seem to make as far as the judges performances are concerned-just point, collect that all important check and go on to another new breed. And now to throw the blame on Staff for enforcing what they have passed is despicable as far as I am concerned. And like all of you I have mixed emotions about how the Board is now treating its Field Reps. Do I think every Field Rep knows about every breed--of course not- but what makes anyone think a judge 64 Dog News

knows everything about all the breeds they are applying for judging either? The Field Reps served and should continue to serve as a good sounding board for exhibitors’ complaints about judges’ decisions. The Field Rep should, just as should the exhibitor, have the right and permission to question decisions with which he or she may disagree. The time to act is at the moment not based on a month old complaint from an exhibitor. I mean I saw some judging this past weekend that made me cringe for the future of our sport with no one having any place to turn except the court of public opinion, which in the long run is as uncaring about these types of situations as anything one can find. The serious Board Members truly concerned with the future of the judging situation such as Wooding, McAteer, Cruz and Feeney must act now and call for a re-examination of the new approval system!!! And yes let’s stop too the career judge who spends his or her time flying from National Specialty to National Specialty in order to meet the fulfillments of the present judging requirements. Why I have heard of one or two people who beat the system by attending 3 Nationals on one weekend! Tell me is this a real interest in the breed or is the real interest in just getting more breeds, more assignments, more money!! That’s what this new approval system seems to be generating--what a foul order for sure!

he sun shone bright on our old Kentucky haunt as Brussels Griffon fanciers arrived at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Louisville for the 71st American Brussels Griffon Association National Specialty and 17th annual independent Obedience and Rally Trial. Owners, exhibitors, breeders and handlers traveled from all corners of the US and Canada, and from as far as Spain, to create an entry of 123 in conformation, 55 in Sweepstakes, and 17 in Obedience and Rally. The activities started on Tuesday evening with the ABGA Board meeting. Others gathered in the hospitality suite to connect with old friends and meet new ones. On Wednesday, before the competition began, the ABGA Health Committee sponsored an interesting and pertinent seminar presented by Dr. Jerald Bell entitled “Responsible Breeding Management of Genetic Disease”. The seminar covered genetic diversity in the breed, the popular sire syndrome, and genetic disorders affecting the Brussels Griffon. It included updates on cur-

rent research, and a review of the OFA Brussels Griffon Health Survey, as well as the different types of genetic tests, their availability, and their proper use. He discussed breeding recommendations to manage various types of genetic disorders. The content was timely and crucial to breeders – attendees were riveted. The ABGA General Meeting followed the seminar, and then Judges Ed was conducted by JEd chair, Lorene Vickers-Smith. Everyone then convened in the Exhibit Hall of the hotel, where the competition began with Obedience and Rally. This was the first year Rally was offered, planned by ABGA Performance Chair Lew Olson. Five Brussels Griffons competed in Obedience, judged by Mrs. Nancy Cheski. High In Trial with 194.0 was the very versatile GCH Blackwood Finley Of Ah-Z, RA, BS, owned and handled by Mrs. Lew Olson. Ms. Katie E. Maess put the Rally entrants through their paces. All eight competitors qualified, with two perfect scores of 100 earned by Blackwood No Hard Feelings, owned by Jill Summerford-Davis and Lew Olson, and CH Blackwood Wicked of Ahz, owned by Lew Olson. In between, Baby Puppy class was adjudicated by Mrs. Jerrilin Lois Naylor, who awarded Best of Breed to Parisfield Terribly Tosh of Vale Vue.

Conformation competition for Wednesday continued with Sweepstakes, judged by longtime breeder/exhibitor Linda Vance of Illinois. When the dog hair settled, Best In Sweepstakes was the twelve to eighteen month bitch, Gran’s Smooth As Butter, bred and owned by Robin Schmidt of Georgia. Best of Opposite in Sweeps went to her littermate, Gran’s Li’l Abner At St. Johns, owned by St. Johns Kennel. The first day was done, and all went to groom, meet friends, or rest up for the big day on Thursday. Sadly, there were no Junior Handlers entered to begin the competition on Thursday. When esteemed Judge Peter Green entered the ring, the game was on. Mr. Peter Green, known worldwide for his long history of exhibiting and judging Terriers, both here and abroad, has also handled more than his share of outstanding Brussels Griffons. Everyone was anxious to have him pass judgement on their little darlings. Mr. Green methodically sorted through dogs throughout the morning, eventually giving Winners Dog to Hilltop’s Zip It-Zip It from the

Open, Rough Coat class, bred and owned by Carole Ross and handled by Andrew Peel. Winning Reserve Winners Dog from the twelve to eighteen month class, and therefore gaining a three point major, was TenOaks N Kapers One Note Samba, bred by Craig and Carol Kokkler and owned by Raul Peralta. After a lunch break during the judging of bitches, Mr. Green conferred the title of Winners Bitch on Norkus’ Fancy Pants, bred by Bobbie Norkus of Indiana and owned by Bobbie and Jeff Crouse, who handled her in the twelve to eighteen month class. Reserve Winners Bitch, and so also a major, went to Alvin Farms and Cashin’s Hot Spicy Chai, bred by Meg Prior and Candace Lydston and owned by Meg and Felicia Cashin. Veterans took to the ring. It’s so moving to see these old troopers return to the ring to once more hear the applause of the crowd. Best Veteran Dog was GCH St Johns The Chimney Sweep, bred by Jeffery Bazell and Jeffrey Kestner of Ohio, and owned by St Johns Kennel. Best Veteran Bitch was CH Kapers Bright Side Of Disaster, bred by Kathy Peralta and owned by Kathy Peralta and Beverly Strange. Thirty-seven specials crowded the smallish ring, requiring astute sorting on the part of Mr. Green. Eventually

he pointed to GCH Seagryph’s Sleeping With The Anemone, a four year-old red, rough male with lovely natural ears. I was happy to have him as an example as I mentored aspiring Griff judges so that they could see a correct uncropped ear. “Cayman” seems to have a knack for winning the big ones, being a repeat National Specialty winner as well as Best of Breed at Westminster. He was bred by Maureen Rogers of CT and Carole Ross of CA. He is owned by Kelly and Maureen Rogers, Adam Bernardin, and Dr. and Mrs. Kornfeld and handled by Adam Bernardin. Best of Winners was Winners Dog and Best of Opposite Sex was GCH Simpatica Smooth Operator, a red, smooth bitch bred and owned by Patricia and Michael Holzkopf and handled by Patricia. This lovely bitch turned out to be the only repeat winner of the weekend, going on to win Best of Breed twice at the all-breeds as well as another Best of Opposite Sex and NOHS Best of Breed. Other winners included Select Dog: CH Somerset Wynzall Hashtag; Select Bitch: CH Hilltop’s Diva Devine; and Awards of Merit to CH Tajinastes No Te Lo Pierdas, GCH Chismick’s Boop Oop A Doop, CH Somerset Wynzall Let’s Get Physical, Norkus’ Fancy Pants, GCH Genesis Ben-Jamin To My Own Beat and Hilltop’s Zip It-Zip

It. CH St Johns Maximus proudly led his long line of progeny around the ring to capture the Stud Dog title, and GCH Blackwood Finley of AH-Z RA BN showed off her success in the whelping box to win Best Brood bitch – what a well-rounded girl! One more program remained to cap off the week of festivities and competition. The ABGA Breeders’ Ed committee sponsored a handling seminar presented by David Gibbons. He received rave reviews from beginners as well as seasoned exhibitors. One newbie remarked that he finally made understandable the dozens of suggestions she had been given by mentors and friends but just couldn’t make happen. She felt energized to go home and put his techniques to work. If that’s one new exhibitor that makes it past the five-year mark he was a success! The days passed much too quickly, especially for those of us who were getting to reconnect with friends we may only see once a year. Exhibitors left with renewed resolve to catch up on health testing, review pedigrees with a new eye, and use Mr. Gibbons’ training techniques to improve their ring experiences. The 2017 ABGA National Specialty will be at the same venue next year – mark your calendars!

fight disease) without actually infecting the patient with the disease. The vaccines trigger the immune system to produce its own antibodies, as though the body has been infected with a disease. If the vaccinated dog comes in contact with the disease itself, their immune system will recognize it and immediately produce the antibodies needed to fight the disease. Adverse reactions to vaccines can cause serious illness, and in some cases death. The risk of vaccine reaction appears to be inversely related to the dog’s weight, meaning small and toy breeds weighing less than 22 pounds show a higher incidence of reaction following vaccination. Vaccines, unlike most medications, are given on a “one-dose-fits-all” basis, rather than by body weight. The vaccines are described as providing a sufficient amount of antigen for the average sized dog, so they may be too much for the toy breeds and not enough for the giant breeds. Although minimum immunizing doses have been established, the optimum dosages required to protect against disease have not been reported. Researchers are still uncertain whether vaccine dosages should be based on body mass. The study addressed whether small breed adult dogs, not vaccinated for at least 3 years previously, could be adequately immunized and protected by receiving less than a full dose of a distemper-parvovirus vaccine. A half dose of this vaccine was given and increased serum vaccine antibody titers were seen in all the dogs studied. The evidence indicates that vaccination protocols should take into consideration the size of the dog receiving the vaccine.

Should I be worried about the cloudiness in my dog’s eyes? Many dog owners assume the cloudiness in an older dog’s eyes is due to cataracts, but it is more likely to be caused by a condition known as nuclear sclerosis. Changes in the transparency of the eye’s lens occur as dogs get older and it is important to differentiate between these two conditions. The cornea is the clear, transparent front covering which admits light and prevents foreign particles from entering the eye. The pupil is an adjustable opening that controls the intensity of light permitted to pass through the crystalline lens. The normally, clear, flexible lens works like the lens in a camera. It shortens or lengthens it’s width in order to focus light rays properly. The term nuclear sclerosis, or lenticular sclerosis, means hardening of the center of the lens. The condition is found in most dogs older than 7 years of age. Clinically, nuclear sclerosis appears as a slight graying of the lens. It usually occurs in both eyes at the same time. With age, the lens becomes hardened and dense. These changes make the light going to the lens appear scattered and produce the hazy appearance. Nuclear sclerosis is part of the normal aging process. It is not painful and does not significantly affect the vision of the dog. The condition develops gradually and dogs are able to adapt to the changes in vision that occur. There is no treatment for nuclear sclerosis and your veterinarian should monitor the progression. If the cloudiness is only present in one eye, it is more likely to be a cataract. These are opacities within the lens. As the cataracts enlarge, the passage of light through the lens is blocked and the dog will lose the ability to see with that eye. Most veterinarians can quickly tell the difference between nuclear sclerosis and cataracts with an ophthalmologic exam. The corneas are checked first using a device called a slit lamp. If cloudiness is detected on or just behind the cornea, the problem is not nuclear sclerosis. As the eye exam progresses, medicated drops will be applied to dilate the pupil in order to examine through the eye to the retina, or back wall of the globe. If the problem is a cataract, it will partially or completely block the view of the retina. If the veterinarian cannot see through the lens, neither can the dog. The formation of cataracts results from abnormal lens metabolism with varying causes and appearances. Cataracts are classified by cause; such as inherited, metabolic, age-related, or traumatic, and stage of development; incipient, immature, mature, or hypermature. Inherited cataracts are commonly seen in middle-aged dogs with a higher incidence seen in the bichon frise, Boston terrier, poodle and cocker spaniel breeds. Diabetes mellitus is a common cause of rapidly progressive, bilateral cataract formation in dogs. Surgical correction of cataracts is performed by veterinary ophthalmologists and in many cases results in the dog’s vision being restored.

Irving's Impressions Continued FROM page 14

could geographically fit the UK easily into the Boston / Washington corridor and Stafford is actually 1000 miles closer to Moscow than Los Angeles is to Philadelphia! The whole economics of showing is therefore affected by such physical differences. To that extent therefore there are almost bound to be more breeders present at the National Terrier Show than at Montgomery. It is far easier for them to get to it. Fundamentally the difference between the National Terrier Show and Montgomery County Show is that the National Terrier,

though it is unique in the terrier world, is actually just one championship points shows in the UK among many. Montgomery on the other hand is a complete ‘one-off’. National Terrier with 1,500 dogs does have more terrier entries than most UK shows except Crufts, which has about 2,300 terriers. Having said that, it is not unusual to have nearly 1,000 terriers at other UK shows. In contrast Montgomery County is such an exceptional show in the USA that it, even as a single group show, is in the top ten percent of all shows in the country as far as entries are concerned.

That means that it, even with only terriers present, is bigger in entry numbers than 90 percent of the many all-breed shows in the USA. You may well ask after all of that analysis then, what do I conclude? The conclusion I think has to be that each of these two shows is unique and very special for the world of terriers. Each has far more strengths than weaknesses and both are absolute musts for all real terrier enthusiasts to attend. Maybe Shakespeare and his predecessors were right and comparisons of this kind are indeed ‘odious’ or even ‘odorous’?

The Gossip Column By Eugene Z. Zaphiris

O RUSSIA WITH LOVE, and love may be all you’ll be bringing to Russia as the WORLD DOG SHOW at the moment is in question. Every country that is a member of the FCI selects one kennel club to be a member. It is alleged that members of the RUSSIAN FEDERATION have embezzled entry monies from the 8,000 dogs that are already entered at the World Show. Another kennel club that is supported by a wealthy Russian has offered to underwrite and run the dog show. The problem is, they are not the chosen kennel club that is an FCI member. So does the FCI cancel the show or jump mid stream to recognize another kennel club as their member? No doubt money and reputation will play a large part in the decision making, which is due to be made very soon. The WORLD DOG SHOW is scheduled to be held in June and time is quickly running out. Once over that hurdle, the FCI still has to unruffle the feathers of those who are upset with Shanghai as an upcoming selection for a World Dog Show. Many are unhappy with the segment of the population that eats dogs in China. Safe, and extremely lucky…SUSAN BLECKLEY and her boyfriend FRANK DEAN were badly injured

84 Dog News

in a plane crash on California’s Catalina Island. FRANK suffered a fractured skull and SUSAN sustained two broken ankles and a broken wrist. Both are hospitalized in a Torrence hospital and are expected to make complete recoveries. So you thought about taking a dog to Australia, but didn’t want to go through the all the paperwork and put your dog through that long flight and quarantine that is required…well if you were married actors AMBER HEARD and JOHNNY DEPP you don’t have to. Evidently AMBER HEARD and her two Yorkshire terriers flew private wings to visit her husband JOHNNY DEPP while he was filming in Australia. Pleading guilty for false paper work, all she needed was an apology and a lawyer who said she thought her husband’s staff did the paper work and she was sleep deprived and exhausted by the trip. She avoided a $15,000. fine and two years in jail for breaking the law. So for you commercial coach flying dog lovers, I wouldn’t try those excuses, it’s who you are not what you are, at least in Australia. Celebrating birthdays…BRYAN MARTIN, KEN WALL, DOUG JOHNSON, AARON WILKERSON, BRIAN LIVINGSTON and a special birthday greeting to BRIAN STILL, who is in rehab recovering from a recent illness.

Question the

Of the week

Continued FROM page 22

Cindy Cooke There is no real learning in any system without feedback. The question here is whether or not a Field Rep’s input is VALUABLE feedback. Unless the Rep has expertise in the particular breed being judged, his/her questioning the judge’s decision doesn’t really do much good. I know that it is perceived wisdom in some hallowed halls that every retiredprofessional-handler-turned-Field-Rep is an all-breed expert, but I’m skeptical. A better plan would be for Reps to identify successful objective breeders to help

I thought. Lots of spectators, which is good I always think, since it provides new and fresh faces seeing pure bred dogs to buy and own. Unlike say in Springfield where the shows are held primarily to make points only and to provide income for Clubs and Judges to say nothing about the Show Supers, as not only have vendors become discouraged from going there the outside spectators looking for dogs to buy are virtually non-existent there these days. The food courts have virtually disappeared too here but nonetheless it still is an enjoyable venue with good rings and easy parking and a very friendly atmosphere. There’s a very decent motel virtually

on site with many others within an easy drive away and some really nice reasonable restaurants nearby as well. I heard that the motel the judges were put up at was really quite nice with a good restaurant as well, which can be unusual these days for sure. The biggest glitch of course was the Canadian judge who was all over the four-day panel who got stopped at the Border for a lack of working papers to judge there. In these days of tighter questioning particularly going to and from Canada be prepared for more of these type instances, which really threw the first day into a turmoil but which eventually got straightened out. I really was surprised at the quality of some of the Hounds I saw for the first time in the Hound Group--that is the first time for me--an Afghan, a Scottish Deerhound and an English Foxhound were first timers, which easily were competitive anywhere at any time or so I thought anyways. Of course coming up this coming weekend in Maryland at the Timonium Racetrack outdoors totally is the Cherry Blossom Circuit. Let’s all hope the weather holds out there. Perhaps this change will be a good one forced on everyone due to the contractual misunderstanding between the Clubs and the Fairgrounds. I have yet to see AKC’s reaction to the fact that it’s application to hold a show does not provide a question about whether or not a contract exists between the club and the venue it is hiring, which could have prevented the entire fiasco from happening in the first place. But then again a number of Eastern shows, particularly seem to be having this problem this year-is it merely leap year or a malaise on the part of someone? I guess that answer will be forthcoming eventually.

ast week in the Editorial it was mistakenly reported to me that the name of the new LLC that is to run and be responsible for the doggy daycare projects, the first allegedly to open in September of this year on 57th all the way West in NYC’s West Side, was incorporated under the name of Dog Care. In fact the LLC was incorporated under the name of AKC Pet Care in Delaware in October of 2015. While the press announcement about the site was made fairly recently there has been no announcement about who is in charge of the operation. I leave it to you to determine whether or not AKC should go into the business of walking, grooming and training dogs as a way to provide money for its coffers. Personally I think it’s way off base and in the long run will be a problem venture notwithstanding how much money, if any, will be made. I think it lowers the quality of the name branding of AKC and in the long run will be more negative than positive for the organization overall. At least with the dog collar AKC is attempting to develop, although not a new concept, it falls within the purview of a somewhat reasonable LLC project (whether the cost to develop it is worth millions is another story) for AKC to try out. That LLC, if you are interested, is incorporated under the name of Smart Pet Technologies and is located in Stamford I believe and is headed by Mike Basone, the former head of IT for AKC.
