THE SHOW OF THE YEAR

There is little doubt that it is much more than the prize monies being offered which has turned the AKC/Eukanuba Dog Show event held on the last weekend of the show year for almost the entire time since it was created 14 years ago by Ron Menaker with the unyielding assistance of the Staffs from both AKC and Eukanuba to transform itself into one of the most prestigious and glamorous dog events in America if not the world. Although created as an Invitational Event for the top ten conformation dogs in each breed it has grown and expanded with each passing year into a celebration for virtually any and all events competitive or not in which a dog, purebred or not, can take part. Some consider this expansion too broad in growth while others think it is a natural evolution for this kind of event. Whatever your philosophic attitude towards the AENC certainly the show from a conformation standpoint has turned into the largest entered show in America for at least the second consecutive year in a row, which is a major tribute to one of its hardest workers and strongest supporters, Michael Canalizo.

And this is the case despite some severe obstacles he, AKC and Eukanuba have faced particularly in this year’s production. First of all there was the sale of Eukanuba to Mars Corporation, which within the last decade or so has been anything but supportive to the purebred dog generally and the dog show world specifically. Questions of continuity for the show’s future and present years arose particularly in light of the shift of the World Challenge to Europe (which some insist was in the works for years anyways), the reduction in prize monies (which are still greater than perhaps any dog show in the world), the apparent loss of daytime streaming live (after its alleged success was promoted so heavily last year), and the continued silence about exactly what form of television show (if any) is to be aired this year. Despite these adversaries Michael and Jason Taylor from Eukanuba and Vicki Seiler for Eukanuba and Mars plowed ahead cheerfully anyways as far as the public knew to put together this all encompassing week of dog events.

Starting on Tuesday with little breaks for the dogs and exhibitors for six straight days of participation the energies and nerves of dogs and people alike will be tested. One must ask when enough is enough and to these pages the limit was reached long ago. But AKC with Eukanuba marches along year after year coming up with new ways to increase crowds, spectators and dog participation.

Whether or not Mars corporate officers will react similarly is something only the future will portend.

WHEN A SECRET IS NOT A SECRET

For close to a year now if not longer rumors have been afloat about AKC’s development of a product which will not only become a major factor in promoting a dog’s health and general welfare but in making a tremendous amount of money for the organization itself. Indeed it has been said that AKC spent a great deal of money in the development of this particular product which has been kept basically under wraps from most of the Fancy until finally developed, tested and the doors to marketing it begun. These pages have been dropped tidbits of hints about what the product may be through the last two or three years but have not directly mentioned it since insofar as the public was concerned it was not and still may not be developed to the perfection hoped for. However not only has some form of this product been developed years ago and referred to obliquely by these pages but one of our writers, Shaun Coen, has been writing about it for years now without attributing AKC as a player in the field because it is a common area in which developers in the canine field of computer canine development work in. Furthermore the developer of the product within AKC has been given some pretty heavy room for idiosyncratic behavior as an employee as a person without who the product can not be developed or be successful. So imagine the surprise of these pages to recently learn that samples of the unfinished product have been given out to select individuals and that indeed at Crufts this year The Kennel Club in the UK introduced its own version of the product under development there. It is said our version is sufficiently more sophisticated than that which is being attempted to be sold there. One must wonder when the work on this development will be finished and marketed. AKC’s history as a marketer has been less than sterling in the past so it will be interesting to see when and if a return on this heavy investment begins to materialize.

PETS AS VICTIMS IN VIOLENT HOMES

The link between violence towards partners and violence towards pets is startlingly high as a recent survey revealed that 52% of its domestic violence clients reported that their pets were also threatened or abused by a violent partner. Since all too many refuges are unable to accommodate pets many people are said to remain in a violent domestic situation for fear of what may happen to their pets if they were to flee without them. Many abusers see the pets as a way to exert power or control and use the pets as a way to initially gain control without inflicting harm directly on their partner or child. Considered an under-reported sort of abuse as some victims feel they may be judged somehow responsible for what is going on in their homes to their pets themselves.

The reality is that it’s important to support pet fostering services for these victims when they are ready to leave home and this is an area in which

E d i t or i a l

10 Dog News

AKC’s Humane Fund may be helpful. How extensive the foster care projects are for these victims is something to be investigated for sure. In the U.K. links between the abuse of children and vulnerable adults and animals is being thoroughly investigated.

Raising awareness among professionals in the hope that agencies will work together to overcome and to help prevent related cases from going undetected is but one of the goals of these organizations.

NATIONAL PUREBRED DOG DAY

One of the stated goals in the hiring of the Edelman PR firm as explained by Alan Kalter in one of his Chairman reports was to return the purebred dog to its place in in the American public’s eyes as the type of dog to get when looking for a family pet. This was an obvious attempt to take away some of the impact of the adoption movement, which now is so prevalent in America today. A little over a year ago the concept of a National Purebred Dog Day was introduced and the idea of having its own Web Site created evolved. One would have hoped support for this project would have been immediately forthcoming from Edelman or the PR Department at AKC. That the Board has remained silent in this matter should be of little surprise since these people seem to be interested in supporting topics such as Judges Approval, which will get them votes to be elected to the Board and react to promotional ideas to promote the pure bred dog only after being prodded and pushed by the constituency itself. Well PR at AKC may have finally gotten itself in this movement although these pages can not find any reference to National Purebred Dog Day on the AKC web site either because it’s not there or too difficult to maneuver.

In any event lets support this concept as strongly as possible and prod AKC to get its outside PR firm to get involved too.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

Well after this issue only two more left for the year. It’s been a long tough year for us all what with the many high profiled deaths within the Fancy itself in 2014. If there was one common thread which bound all those who passed on in 2014 it was their continued love and devotion for the sport of the dog which bound them together. Let us keep in mind as we near the year’s end our responsibility and obligations are to the welfare and well-being of the dog we all love and adore. All else is hogwash in the context of the dog world and the politics and power brokering must take a back seat to our care and commitment for the welfare of the dog itself. As is our custom for the past thirteen years, we remind you in the spirit of Thanksgiving of the need to remember and contribute to the fund established for the children of Flavio and Danielle Werneck, who were so tragically killed in an automobile accident returning from dog shows in Brazil. Donations may be made to the Ridgewood Bank at 150 Danbury Road Ridgefield Connecticut 06877 in their name attention Joyce Ligi. With the Holiday Season upon us and about to get into full swing, now is the time not only to enjoy ourselves but also to keep in mind the need to remember those less fortunate than we. Have a great Thanksgiving and we’ll see you at the shows.

Irving’s

Impressions

By Ronnie Irving

TKC SPEAKING FOR ALL DOGS

I

t has nearly always been the case that TKC in London has seen itself, not as a boutique establishment only dealing with purebred dog issues, but instead as a national organisation which has the interest of all dogs at heart. Certainly that has been the case in the last thirty years or so. After all the first of the various objectives listed in TKC’s constitution is: “To promote in every way the general improvement of dogs.”

I repeat that the reference is to ‘dogs’ - not ‘purebred dogs’. And even the original version of TKC’s rules in 1873 were written in the same terms. I am not sure when TKC actually started to register dogs that were not purebred, but certainly as long as eighty years ago TKC was allowing crossbred dogs to be registered and to win at KC licensed events such as its Working Trials Championships.

Today TKC is almost the only kennel club in the world that makes no distinction between purebred or crossbred dogs in gaining the title of Working Trial, Obedience or Agility Champion. And today TKC annually registers around 30,000 dogs on its Activity and Companion dog registers.

DIFFERENT TO THE AKC

In all of those respects TKC must be seen as rather a different animal to the AKC, which still seems resolutely to stick strongly to its purebred bias. That is even despite the fact that it has more recently conceded, amidst a welter of disapproval from some quarters, that it will allow ‘mixed breed’ dogs to compete at certain levels of its activities through its ‘Canine Partners Program’. Despite this it continues to cling firmly to the following definition of the word ‘crossbred’ in its official glossary of terms: “Crossbred - A dog whose sire and dam are representatives of two different breeds. A crossbred dog cannot be registered by the AKC.” So bearing in mind those differences between the attitude of the AKC to the overall world of all dogs and that of TKC, it should be no surprise to American readers to hear

14 Dog News

that TKC these days is very active in speaking out in the interest of all dogs. That work is directed towards all sections of the community – not just to the media, the veterinary profession or the animal charities, but particularly towards politicians. And nothing makes politicians more interested in the world at large and in the wishes of their electorate than a forthcoming election. Next year in May there will be a general election here in the UK when the entire parliament will be up for re-election.

ELECTION MANIFESTO

For that reason TKC has produced a very well assembled ‘manifesto’ which it has now sent to all of the major political parties. It is entitled “A Dog’s Life Manifesto” with the strap line: “Improving dog welfare at every stage of life.” It lists all of the key views and wishes of TKC on how dogs should be treated in the community.

In order to gain the undivided attention of the politicians it starts with a statement from the Chairman of TKC Steve Dean reminding them that the results of a recent opinion poll on the importance of animal welfare to the electorate, showed that: “When voters were asked to name issues determining how they will cast their vote, 14 percent named animal welfare” and that this percentage was higher than for some of the most controversial topics of the moment such as same sex marriage. Steve Dean also reminds the politicos that 29 percent of voters said that none of the parties were sufficiently committed to animal welfare. In this day and age when the margins between the various political parties are so small (less than five percent), issues which are if importance to even just 14% of the electorate can be of great importance to the end result!

So – what are the main issues that TKC is asking the politicians to consider in the interests of improving dog welfare? They fall into the following main headings: • Breeding • Acquisition • Training • Responsible Ownership • Routines in Everyday Living • Freedom from Animal Testing

BREEDING

After outlining a number of issues which indicate very clearly the current weaknesses in UK legislation about dog breeding and its inability to curb the activities of poorly run puppy mills and indiscriminate breeding by puppy farmers, the KC demands that the next government should: • Review legislation on dog breeding to make legally mandatory the principles of TKC’s Assured Breeder Plan (roughly the equivalent of the AKC Breeder of Merit Program) and to ensure that such legislation enshrines the principles of the UK Animal Welfare Acts • Endorse TKC’s Assured Breeder Plan • Issue effective guidance and training to local government employees who have to enforce legislation • Detail dog breeding requirements so that a more consistent and effective approach to licensing and enforcement is achieved • Reduce the burden on local and central government by working collaboratively with TKC to deliver training programmes for local enforcers.

ACQUISITION

A large section of the publication is devoted to dealing with the way in which puppies are purchased and the problems of foreign imports. A four hundred percent increase in illegal puppy imports to the UK was experienced between 2011 and 2012. It also deals with the sale of dogs through pet stores which TKC strongly opposes. In the UK there are only around 70 pet store outlets selling puppies but it is estimated that around 16% of the dogs in the country were acquired through a pet store.

It is also estimated that 31% of people who bought a puppy in the last year did so without seeing it with

its mother and a staggering 53% of buyers did not see their puppy in its breeding environment.

The document lays out various ways in which TKC feels the responsible sale of dogs should be organised.

• Prohibit the sale of puppies in pet stores • Promote those breeders breeding to the standards of TKC’s Assured Breeders • Clamp down on those illegally importing puppies for commercial sale and target enforcement to the 95 percent of trade that comes through the ports or through the Channel Tunnel • Work with TKC and dog welfare organisations on a public education campaign on the ‘do’s and don’ts’ of puppy buying.

TRAINING

The damage done to the reputation of dogs generally as a result of poor or inadequate canine training is outlined. In addition the need for some national standards by which to judge the competence of those people who sell their services as dog trainers is also covered as well as TKC’s view that electronic shock training devices (shock collars) should be banned.

The recommendations can be summarised briefly as: • Prohibit the sale and use of electronic shock training devices • Adopt TKC’s Accredited Instructor Plan requirements as an industry based standard with which all dog trainers and behaviourists must comply.

RESPONSIBLE OWNERSHIP

The problem of dog owners allowing their animals to misbehave – particularly in public and sometimes with tragic effect – has over the years resulted in a great deal of dangerous dog legislation finding its way into the ‘statute book’ here in the UK. Some of this goes as far back as 1871 and much of it causes confusion to those who have to enforce it. There is also some legislation which is geared up to deal with specific breeds rather than the irresponsible people who own these breeds and are really the ones to blame for the problems.

As a result TKC has asked the next government to: • Update, consolidate and, where necessary, replace existing legislation on dog control with preventative legisla-

tion and measures based on the principle of ‘deed not breed’ • Investigate all serious and fatal dog bite incidents using the services of a suitable behaviourist to understand the causes, and aid effective preventative measures • Support education programmes such as TKC Good Citizen Dog Training Plan, which teaches people about responsible dog ownership • As a minimum make breed specific legislation time-limited by use of a ‘sunset clause’.

ROUTINES IN EVERYDAY LIFE

In some ways this heading is a kind of ‘sweep-up’ section dealing with some issues such as the access of dogs to public spaces, dog showing and the crazy law we have here about not being allowed to show dogs even if they have been legally docked. Clearly TKC realises that the chance of getting the docking ban removed is non-existent but the fact that working dogs which are legally permitted to be docked cannot be shown at certain shows is stupid. This is particularly so in that such dogs can be shown at shows where the public do not pay for admission but at shows such as Crufts where public admission charges are made, they cannot be exhibited. TKC also makes the important positive point that it: “agrees with the conclusion of Professor Sir Patrick Bateson’s ‘Independent Inquiry into Dog Breeding’ in January 2010, which highlighted dog shows as being ‘a powerful lever for change’.” It continues: “This is because they educate those participating, and the public watching them, about what a healthy example of the breed should look like. In the case of Crufts this is particularly powerful as viewing figures are 4.6 million.”

These are the requests made to legislators for the future.

• Record information relating to Public Spaces Protection Orders made by local government and townships • Require local government and townships to positively engage with local dog owners when introducing Public Spaces Protection Orders • Amend the Animal Welfare Act to allow legally docked working dogs and dogs with surgically amputated tails (carried out for medical reasons) to be shown at all dog shows

FREE FROM ANIMAL TESTING

TKC believes that the use of dogs in animal testing should be “Refined, Reduced and Replaced” (the three Rs) and works with an organisation entitled FRAME (Fund for the Replacement of Animals in Medical Experiments) to achieve where possible an improvement of the lot of the dogs involved and a reduction in their use overall.

The recommendations are: • Review the use of dogs as a second species

for toxicity testing in human drug development in light of new research on the lack of usefulness of this practice • Make it compulsory for establishments to have a positive homing policy to ensure that as many dogs as possible can be released into loving homes • Review the welfare of dogs in laboratories including breeding, transportation, housing, nutrition, health, handling and euthanasia, to ensure that all efforts to reduce suffering are being implemented • Increase funding to develop alternatives to animal testing.

THE POLITICIANS LISTEN

That therefore is the shopping list that TKC has produced for the politicians. In times gone by, such a list would probably have been totally ignored by prospective governments but the standing of TKC these days has changed that.

TKC many years ago set about being a strong external force for the benefit of dogs. In the process it has sometimes been criticised for political correctness, sometimes for going too far or even occasionally for pandering to the ‘animal righters’.

Some of these criticisms have even come from senior officials of the AKC. But not only is TKC now recognised here as having made huge strides in the improvement of the health and conformation of purebred dogs through its approach to testing and its work with judges and vet testing at shows, but it is also seen as a major player in the areas of dog training and other aspects of dog welfare generally.

For that reason when its ‘Manifesto’ was announced this month at Discover Dogs (Meet the Breeds) in London, politicians and legislators were present at senior level. Both of the two main parties were represented. The current Government Minister responsible for Animal Welfare was there as was his shadow minister responsible for the same portfolio in the official opposition party.

The Minister said: “I would like to thank TKC for all its efforts to promote responsible dog ownership. This country is passionate about dogs but, despite this love affair, there are still owners who fall below the acceptable standard. The Government has been working with organisations like TKC to see where improvements can be made and we have introduced new laws to prevent dog attacks and require compulsory microchipping.

TKC has been invaluable in sharing expertise. We look forward to continuing to work closely with TKC to look at ways to help improve dog welfare.”

Even the Shadow Minister for Animal Welfare said: “It’s vital that dogs are bred to the highest standard and this is one of TKC’s key strengths.

We welcome TKC’s manifesto as a valuable contribution to the dog welfare debate and to our work in building animal welfare policy for the general election.”

Changed days – and I wonder if any document produced by the American Kennel Club would achieve such attention in Washington?

BAbbling OLD DOGS & NEW TRICKS

By Geir Flyckt-Pedersen

T

he old saying that it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks is becoming more and more relevant for myself the older I get.

Very grateful that I have a bunch of “old memories” as it does not seem very likely that there will be so many new ones added.

Just ask me about things happening in the 50s, 60s and 70s and I can give you a lot of information including names of top winning dogs. Ask me the name of a dog who won yesterday- and with very few exceptions I will disappoint you.

Having lived in 4 different countries, all with different sets of rules and regulations, I can surely tell you most of the rules applied in the Norwegian Dog World some 50+ years ago, maybe some of the Swedish ones, too- but more recent additions probably not.

The same applies to breed standards. Originally I knew all the breed standards for breeds that interested me, which were actually ALL breeds that existed in Norway at the time, by heart. The fact that I have now had to adjust my knowledge and even attitude to many issues, based on the fact that many breed

standards have serious differences between FCI countries, the UK and the Unites States, makes it a necessity to refresh my memory by always reading through every standard for every breed I judge prior to entering the ring.

I try to judge only breeds that really interest me and I have a lot of respect for every one of them and for their “creators”.

It may be a consequence of the fact that I got involved with dogs when most European breeders were still in the process of restoring and preserving important breed features that were lost during WW2.

The fact that a number of breeds needed “help” from other breeds made it of course essential that the selection process was tough and in many cases seemed cynical, but I know that many of the breeders we today thank for what they did during these years shed many a tear in the process…

I don’t really know when the system of Zucht Wachts originated in Germany, but if it was during the first few years after the war it is understandable. Other European countries had similar arrangements, although not so bombastic and dictatorial as the German version.

We lived in a world where cheating at any level might forever end your life as a breeder

“The fact that a number of breeds needed “help” from other breeds made it of course essential that the selection process was tough and in many cases seemed cynical...”

18 Dog News

and exhibitor, so we showed our dogs completely “au naturel” and I remember so many Boxers eliminated due to lack of a black mask or an unpigmented third eyelid …

Doberman Pinschers and Rottweilers disqualified for severely sooty tan markings or lack of a P1. An incorrect bite, which meant any deviation from a perfect scissors bite with large healthy teeth, would in most cases lead to DQ- or in the best case a 2nd or 3rd in quality, which meant you were eliminated from further competition- and for some breeds even from breeding.

A Giant Schnauzer with anything but a jet-black coat without white “stickelhaar” and correct hard texture all the way to the toes would not even be looked at. A pepper and salt colored Giant, Miniature or Standard Schnauzer without the absolute perfect color had no chance.

Well, for a time during the 50s and 60s when breeders tried to restore the P/S Giants with the help of the P/S Standards judges were a little more lenient both regarding size and color.

Then we also had the DQ for oversize and undersize, which affected lots of breeds and which we witnessed happening all the time.

Every judge had a wicket in their possession and used it frequently at their own discretion, often even in breeds where no DQ was involved.

And we accepted our DQ’s as well as our lower grades for a variety of reasons because we believed and even were certain the judges knew what they were doing and why!

And in most cases they did.

During the last few years I have seen dogs with incorrect bite winning Working groups, Sporting groups and Terrier Groups as well as Best in Shows. Both in this country and overseas. With my background and “upbringing” it is rather shocking.

In these days where “Form & Function” is considered such an important factor in the judging process. How is that possible?

There is no doubt in my mind that a terrier with large, strong teeth and a perfect scissors bite is considerably more functional for its original purpose than one with small teeth and a level bite…

Most terrier breeds in their countries of origin ask for a perfect scissors bite, nothing else would be acceptable. But take a look at the American versions of these standards- and in a majority of breeds level bite is acceptable. Was it really such a problem to produce dogs with correct mouths that this kind of leniency was necessary as an easy way out? And we all know that as with everything else, if you first let things “slide”- where will you end up?

That breed clubs change standards to the extent that serious deviations from the original standards are included as acceptable is in my opinion nothing but throwing in the towel!

And accepting defeat!

I keep telling about my trips to the UK as a youngster and the experience of visiting famous kennels and breeders who have impacted my attitude to this game in so many ways.

I only wish I had kept statistics over how many lovely dogs I saw in these kennels who were never shown due to a broken or missing tooth…but who proved very important in their breeding program. Or beautiful dogs not shown due to uneven markings- and in my own breeds Wire Fox Terrier so many lovely dogs sold as pets due to too much ticking and in (English) Cockers Blue roan and tan was not considered a winning color- and lemon and white or orange and white were considered feminine colors. Showing males in these colors considered a waste of time by most breeders.

Of course it indicates that breeders had more to choose from in those days, but also that they really followed their own convictions of what really benefitted their breeds. Must admit, though, that in general the Brits seemed to focus on the bite only, missing premolars, etc. never seemed to bother them.

Whenever I take up this subject with any judges, invariably the same answer comes up: You have to consider the entire dog.

Well, I know it is easier to “find” and penalize a wrong bite, misplaced or missing teeth and light eyes than any structural shortcomings- and I suppose we have all been involved – at some stage- in discussions about shoulders. ….

The other day I commented on a dog to its handler that I was not happy with the dog’s mouth. When I mentioned that there were only 4 incisors in the bottom jaw, the reply was: But the standard does not say anything about the number of teeth!

Which for some breeds is correct.

There are certain parts of a dog that are just standard: They should have 2 ears, 2 eyes, 4 legs, 1 tail and the 42 teeth are of course included. And for breeds created to hunt, guard or even fight large teeth with a perfect scissors bite should be part of the parcel, but obviously there are a number of judges out there who disagree with me.

In a way I can understand judges of toy breeds who argue that size of teeth or a perfect bite is not necessary for a toy to fulfill its role in the world: Being somebody’s pet in somebody’s arms. But they should still be able to eat their food without problems…

Whenever I judge anywhere in the world I will of course try to judge by the breed standards of that country, be it FCI’s, UK’s or the US’.

So when judging over here I will of course have to accept mouths that are ok according to the standards here, even if I myself feel it is totally out of order.

But I find it rather sad when despite the standard’s clear description what the mouth should look like, some people choose to totally ignore that part.

I have sinned a few times in my

“Whenever I judge anywhere in the world I will of course try to judge by the breed standards of that country, be it FCI’s, UK’s or the US’.”

life as I have been influenced by the Raymond Oppenheimer school of thoughts regarding Bull Terriers and mouths (and faults in general), but must admit that nothing pleases me more than finding a beautifully headed Bull with a perfect mouth…

I could of course rattle on about what I think we should and should not do when judging, but I think it is important these days when the big trendsetting breeders are virtually non-existent, that judges don’t accept deviations from the standard that in the long run could be detrimental for the future of the breeds.

I always urge what I was taught: As a judge you judge the product, not the dogs’ breeding potential. And although judging should be focused on the positives I think we have a responsibility far beyond handing out those blue ribbons.

Breeding top class, healthy show dogs was never supposed to be easy and I know from experience that there are no secret formulas or shortcuts available.

Just common sense, a lot of knowledge and total honesty and integrity from all people involved is required to keep this hobby respected and alive.

And I think our judges can help keep us on the right track by keeping their eyes open and making “sound and healthy “ decisions.

Food for thought? I certainly hope so- and if something to chew on?

- I hope at least your dogs chew on it with a set of large healthy teeth…

QT UH EE SW TE IE OK N O F

By Matthew H. Stander

With over 65% of the Delegates female why do you think there is only one female member on the board today with no prospect of adding more women in the immediate future since not one single female Delegate has chosen to run for any of the three seats opening in the coming March election?

Gretchen Schultz

Obviously, the women know better! However, should a woman choose to run for office, we’d probably see different results in accomplishment times as we are so good at multi-tasking (smile now, it’s holiday time).

James Phinizy

Of course, my Aunt Frances replied politely to the Westport Town Republican Committee, when asked in the Thirties to be one of the Selectmen in town: “... If there is anything a man can do, let him do it.” I guess I was spoiled when I was on the board. I had the great pleasure of working with people like Lys Higgins, Elaine Young, Jackie Hungerland, Patty Haines, Judi Daniels, and Patti Strand. At any time, there were four or five women on the board, and I was pleased to vote for Judi for president after Bob Maxwell retired. She was energetic and bright. While I did not always agree with Judi on some of her notions on process, I agreed with her innovative philosophy and enjoyed her strength of character, vision and drive. All of these people (women) were sound, well grounded individuals with a history of experience in “dogs” that was hard to beat. There was, moreover, a bunch of female delegates at the time who could have easily done the job, perhaps better than we did. Why are there not more women on the board today? I am sure there is a reserve of equally competent individuals in the delegate body today; these people should not have to be encouraged but need to step up and be counted. If not, then this situational imbalance will continue to occur. A more important question ought to be considered. Why has there not been a women Chair on the Board of Directors in the nearly 20 years since I have been off the board, rather than relying on the same old guard?

Pam Mandeville

Since I’m not a delegate and do not have insight into the current culture in the Board room or delegate body, it’s hard to offer an informed opinion. Instead, I would ask this question of the current and past nominating committees. They typically have a good representation of female delegates...2 or 3...and have sometimes been chaired by women. However, they do not nominate 22 Dog News

women. The committee is not limited to those who self nominate but can reach out throughout the delegate body for candidates. What are the responses they get? Or are they not even looking for other candidates?

Dr. Fran Smith

I suspect although I cannot prove that the female delegates suffer from frustration with the lack of accomplishments than do many of the male delegates. Perhaps they then decide to put their efforts elsewhere.

Jan Paulk

I am not familiar with the politics of the Delegate Body. However, it is relevant to note that only 100 women serve in the 114th (current) Congress of the United States which has 535 seats. Of our 50 States in the US, only 10 Governors are female. It has long been said that women do not support other women in the corporate world. Perhaps there is a carry-over in attitude affecting the Delegate election?

Jackie Gottlieb

I had the best of intentions of writing you regarding the excellent columns that have recently appeared in Dog News...written by women. Joining several other members of the distaff side who have been regulars, and eagerly followed, I have often wondered why these ladies haven’t been more active in governance. I suspect that the principal reason that in recent years especially, women have chosen not to run for board positions is doubting that they could be sufficiently effective to warrant the time and effort involved in running and attending meetings. Maybe this is just a general malaise, and lack of confidence in the present officers and board. Over the years the women I have been fortunate to know don’t choose to waste their time, not do they suffer fools lightly. Maybe my perspective is skewed, since I am just a breeder exhibitor...pretty much dependent on a few acquaintances and the press, for my information. If the Board could be more open, more women might be encouraged to take more active roles.

Gretchen Bernardi

But I personally feel that even the most qualified and dedicated delegates feel that it is just too hard to effect.

Are Poinsettias poisonous to dogs?

Many people think that the poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima) plant is extremely toxic, but this is not true. The milky white sap found in poinsettias contains chemicals and detergent-like compounds that can be irritating to the mouth and stomach if ingested. Mild signs of drooling, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea may result. If the milky sap gets on the skin, it can cause irritation including redness, swelling and itchiness. In rare instances, if the sap gets in the eye, it can cause a mild conjunctivitis or “pink eye” secondary to inflammation. Symptoms usually resolve and do not require medical attention, unless severe.

Other holiday plants such as holly berries, mistletoe, daffodil bulbs, and rosemary can be toxic to dogs. Signs most commonly seen after eating toxic plants include vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain and excessive salivation. Holly berries are especially toxic. Tremors or seizures may result followed by coma and death.

It’s a good idea to inspect all holiday bouquets for these plants and place these arrangements out of your dogs’ reach. If you suspect your dog has ingested toxic plant material, call your veterinarian or poison control center immediately for specific advice.

What is Gracilis Myopathy?

Gracilis and semitendinosus myopathy (muscle disease), also known as fibrotic myopathy, occurs when the normally elastic muscle tissue is replaced with dense tissue, similar to scar tissue.

The gracilis and semitendinosus muscles are found on the back and inner areas of the thigh. These muscles flex the stifle, or knee joint. The tendons of these muscles also form part of the Achilles tendon. The fibrous scar tissue does not stretch like healthy muscle does and the affected muscles become shortened, or contracted.

This is a relatively uncommon condition, but occurs most frequently in German shepherds, Belgian sheepdogs, greyhounds, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers, St. Bernards, boxers, and Old English Sheepdogs. Dogs with fibrotic myopathy tend to be young adult dogs, and may develop the condition as early as 8 to 9 months of age.

The definitive cause for the disorder is unknown, but is thought to be caused by trauma, immune-mediated disease, or may be secondary to a disease process involving the nerves. Active dogs seem to be more susceptible. Recent studies suggest the disease may be related to muscle injury from excessive activity, including jumping and sprinting that can lead to muscle strain.

The signs of gracilis and

semitendinosus myopathy are hind limb weakness, lameness and pain. The formation of scar tissue in the place of muscle leads to a shortened stride and altered gait. On physical examination, the affected muscles will feel firmer than normal. Diagnosis can be confirmed by an ultrasound of the muscles.

The prognosis is guarded to poor since the condition tends to recur within several months following surgery to remove the fibrous band of tissue. Nonsurgical treatment includes the use of corticosteroids, non-steroidal anti-inflam-

“Recent studies suggest the disease may be related to muscle injury from excessive activity, including jumping and sprinting that can lead to muscle strain.” matory drugs (NSAIDs), and acupuncture, but in many cases is not effective.

Rehabilitation such as laser therapy and massage may provide mild improvement.

To avoid the muscle strain thought to cause fibrotic myopathy, warm up exercises, stretching and a gradual build up to more intensive activities are recommended.

If muscle injury occurs and is identified early, rest and ice may minimize permanent muscle damage.

Is there a new name for Alopecia X? The term alopecia means the loss of hair.

The genetic disease formerly known as Alopecia X is the progressive, non-inflammatory loss of hair. It is a form of patterned baldness, meaning that affected dogs lose hair evenly on both sides of their body. The new name for this disorder is Hair Cycle Arrest Syndrome (HCAS).

A number of breeds are predisposed to this condition, especially toy and miniature poodles, Pomeranians, Alaskan malamutes, Siberian huskies, and HCAS keeshonden. affects dogs of both sexes whether they are intact or neutered.

The hair loss can first occur at any age and affected dogs experience a gradual loss of hair over the body and the thighs. The hair on the head and front legs usually stays. Sometimes the guard hairs are lost first leaving a soft ‘puppy’ coat. The skin may become intensely hyperpigmented and HCAS has been referred to as “Black Skin Disease”.

Hairs do not grow continuously as toenails do, but grow in cycles. Each cycle

consists of a growing phase (anagen) when the follicle is actively producing the hair and a resting period (telogen) when the hair is retained in the follicle as a dead hair that eventually falls out.

There is also at least one transitional phase (catagen) between these two phases when growth stops and before the hair dies.

HCAS is thought to be caused by a premature catagen or growthstopping phase.

Skin biopsies show that dogs with HCAS have a low percentage of anagen (growth) follicles and a high percentage of telogen (dead) follicles. Apart from the alopecia, or baldness, most dogs are unaffected by the condition. Treatment with trilostane or melatonin supplementation has improved hair regrowth.

Conditions with similar symptoms as Hair Cycle Arrest Syndrome are hypothyroidism (low thyroid), hyperestrogenism (elevated estrogen levels), hyperadrenocorticism (Cushing’s disease) and idiopathic (unknown cause) alopecia.

The Judge Speaks

By LISA WARREN

Thoughts on the Proposed Judges Approval Process

M

uch of what is outlined in the proposed judges approval process is an improvement.

That fact, along with the offering of a path of least resistance, insures that there has been a tsunami of mail to AKC lauding those aspects. But there are other things to consider.

A stated purpose of more approved judges is included in the introduction to the system and the proposal takes a big step down that road. But if enacted in its current incarnation, the proposal would insure innumerable giant steps down another road, the one to generic judging.

One positive aspect of the proposal is that its implementation stands to reverse what has become, in the minds of many, the adversarial relationship between judges and the Field Representatives. However one personally feels about this, perception wears the mantle of reality and this has, therefore, become an undeniable issue. But to take the Reps out of the process completely for judges who have completed their first group is to remove any real ongoing quality control and the proposal could have the effect of giving even a good judge the feeling that there is no need to be on top of the game throughout every assignment; it is very easy to imagine such an atmosphere being regularly abused by those who would pursue rapid advancement for its own sake.

Judges are told, and rightly so, that breed-specific judging is very important and the current system, for all of its perceived flaws, does encourage focus on breed-specific traits. (I think it was a mistake to remove the requirement of an essence statement. Really: should anyone be judging any breed whose unique character and characteristics are not understood?) Implementation of the proposed change would be a whiplash-inducing swing from the most demanding approval process in at least twenty-five years to a very easy path to approval. (It is stated in the proposal that it would not be an easier system, but anyone who doesn’t think the proposed system would be easier probably did not apply under the current one!) So while there may be a need for more multi-group judges and a benefit

42 Dog News

to the sport if more judges viewed the Reps as valuable assets, is it really necessary to throw away the gains incurred by the current system? Why not adjust the best aspect of the current system to accommodate the goals of the contemplated one? In pursuit of that, I suggest that the elements below be added to the process.

1) With each application, require a brief statement from the applicant outlining the breed’s unique aspects and the qualities that are essential to a good specimen of that breed.

2) Retain the interview, but slim down the format to a brief discussion of the essence of each breed, it’s unique features, the things that make it different from any close cousins, and how its form follows its original function.

The requirements to list heights and disqualifications could be eliminated: those are things that, if in any doubt, a judge checks just before or during the judging of each breed. And a recitation of the standard does not insure an actual understanding of the breed.

3) Include a requirement that a Field Representative observe a candidate at least once for every five (or pick another number) approved permit breeds, the objective being to watch for a breedspecific examination followed by a discussion of what elements the judge feels comprise the essence of the breed.

This observation wouldn’t need to be of a large entry since evaluation of the placements would not be the objective and, while not a pass/fail event, such an exercise should have the effect of focusing the judge on the breed’s unique aspects and helping to deter the generic judging that the proposed system would encourage to flourish.

The post-observation discussion with the Rep might prove to be a continuingeducation opportunity for the judge (and sometimes for the Rep,) and, without the pass/fail element, the adversarial aspect of observations should become a bit of bad history.

The breeds and the fancy deserve an effort by AKC to assure that judges are not going to judge all breeds as show dogs that just happen to be members of whatever breeds they just happened to have been born into. Continuing emphasis on breed specifics, twice at the front end of the application process and then during observations, could deliver the “third time’s the charm”

effect to the effort of all judges attempting to master new breeds. And it might also impart these benefits: judges would begin to demand that all parent club seminars cover these aspects of their breeds, and even judges who lack “the eye” might do less damage because they would have been strongly encouraged to keep the unique qualities of each breed in mind as they judge.

I hope that AKC will take a long view and consider the damaging aspects of a system that demands minimal preparation before approval and imposes such limited accountability for the decisions a judge makes in the ring. If the proposed process is adopted and things are made so easy, many in the judging community will be up in arms if any later attempt is made to raise the bar, action that will be sorely needed when it becomes clear that it is a disservice to the breeds and detrimental to the sport when all and sundry are being approved to judge whatever breeds they fancy judging.

And what happens when it is evident from the complaints of exhibitors that a judge is doing a deplorable job? I think the proposed system would generate a huge increase in such complaints: less preparation and diminished accountability would surely lead to that. AKC would find itself challenged to remove breeds for which it had granted approved, resulting in loud accusations of unfairness and lawsuits.

(Just imagine the Facebook tirades.) And maybe it would be unfair: the system encourages rapid advancement and it would seem unjust to be penalized for having accepted that encouragement!

Another long-term detriment: in the information age, we can be sure the world is watching and AKC’s reputation for producing excellent judges would suffer damage in the world community if judges are being churned out with little regard for their actual mastery of the breeds they are approved to judge.

There are others, but if we consider just these few of many probable unintended consequences, (the long-term ill effects on the breeds that are being judged generically and therefore on the sport itself, the inevitable future disputes with judges and AKC’s loss of global respect,) there is much to be lost by dumbing down the judging approval process to the proposed degree.

Clichés become trite because they are said so often, but a saying achieves that status only because it reflects a truth. Several clichés apply here: “Don’t throw the baby out with the bath water;” “You can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube;” “Measure twice, cut once,” and “Do you want it done fast, or do you want it done right?”

Shunde, China Championship Dog Shows October

44 Dog News

10th, 11th, and 12th, 2014

The first time I ever went to China was so long ago I cannot remember what year it might have been. I imagine it had to be ten to twelve years ago. It was at the very early stage of dog shows in China. The first couple of shows I judged were not organized by any recognized group.

They were put on by local politicians or individuals that wanted to put on a dog show.

BY Desmond J. Murphy

here was a gentleman by the name of Mr. Wong who acted as a superintendent. He would find college students that spoke and understood English to do the communications. The first show I ever judged two men from Taiwan who were judges, were there as back up judges. It was in case I would get tired and they could take over the judging. On later assignments a friend from the States would accompany me as the back-up judge.

On two occasions I had them help me judge BIS. I never did comprehend the thinking behind having the back-up judge.

On one assignment I judged a Golden Retriever specialty and a Siberian Husky specialty on Saturday.

Then the following day at the all breed show I judged these same breeds again. It was interesting how the results changed somewhat in twenty-four hours. It gave real meaning to judging dogs on the day.

arxism M s This Judge’s Point Of View

My Greatest Dog... Ever with Thanksgiving 2014 upon us I thought you might like to read something my wife wrote a few years ago after losing one of our beloved FlatCoated Retrievers, Gatsby. My wife, Shelly, has had Best in Show and National Specialty winners, but she called Gatsby her greatest dog ever. We, who have dogs in our lives, should be very thankful every day.

He did not have lots of titles or awards, and no one ever said he was the most stunning dog ever seen. He did not finish his championship, since I did not think him worthy of that title. He would never win a Best in Show or win a National Specialty like his father. He did not have obedience titles like his uncle, no High In Trial awards were in his future. His obedience was in simply wanting to do what I asked - nothing formal for him.

He did compete in agility, only because I asked him. He was really too sensitive to enjoy the competitive atmosphere.

Why, you may ask, was he my greatest dog ever?

Gatsby was a sensitive soul, my sweet wiggle-butt. He didn’t just wag his tail, he wiggled his whole back end. Although he never met another person or dog he didn’t want to meet he was never first to try new things. He let his brothers go first in all matters, they were the bold ones - he was just along for the ride. He never barked at strangers, he was more likely to stand behind me until he knew it was safe. He loved to play fetch and would throw objects at me if I didn’t continue to throw them for him. He never understood enough is enough.

He found his calling later in life and although it was somewhat unexpected, there 46 Dog News

was no doubt that it was what he was truly meant to do. A friend of mine had lost her service dog and was not sure she wanted the heartbreak and responsibility of another large dog. We talked about Gatsby giving it a try, although I didn’t think he would be bold enough to help her. After a couple of weeks of basic training with me, Gatsby went to live with her on a trial basis. She has MS and has limited mobility and poor balance, spending a lot of time in a wheelchair. One of the jobs Gatsby was to perform for her was to go to her when she fell and help her stand up.

He would brace himself and let her use him to climb back upright. The first time I watched him with her was amazing.

Without my teaching him the skill, he would widen his stance to make himself stronger, and position himself close to her.

You could almost see his mind working on how to help her up.

He also would help her walk by acting as a counter balance. If she started to falter one way he would gently move to bring her balance back and keep her upright. I was awestruck watching this little dog as his confidence grew in leaps and bounds while he worked with his other mother. You must also understand that if I took him for a walk it was non-stop pulling, he had no concept of a loose leash. He never pulled with her and was always at a perfect heel position when needed.

Gatsby was never a guard dog with me, he preferred I defend him. One night I received a call from Jill with a story of how Gatsby was protecting her in the park. I kept asking “Gatsby? Are you sure it was him? Gatsby would never growl.” He found in himself a

M A R X

new boldness in protecting his other mother. One night, while he was out for his night walk with Jill, there was a stranger hiding in the bushes in the park. Gatsby positioned himself between her and the stranger and told him to go away with a growl. I could not believe it, my little wimpy dog was not going to let anyone hurt his other mother. I watched him on another occasion when there was a rough, scruffy-looking man hanging around while I was waiting to meet Gatsby and Jill for lunch. When Gatsby saw the man he once again positioned himself between the stranger and Jill, his body stiff and tall. There was a very low slow growl coming from him that I had never heard before. He clearly did not want that man getting close to Jill. As I watched the transformation in him I realized that he had found his destiny. Gatsby, with his heart of gold and fun loving attitude, had found a job that he naturally excelled in. This is what he was born to do. His love for Jill and the job he could do for her was apparent in everything they did.

He never had formalized service dog training and yet his innate sense of what Jill needed made him the perfect companion for her. There was nothing he wouldn’t do for her. As much as he gave to Jill he gave even more to me as I watched the two of them develop a sense of oneness.

I saw Jill’s confidence grow just as Gatsby’s did, knowing that he would be there. Jill thanked me for Gatsby and I thanked Jill for letting Gatsby fulfill his destiny.

Gatsby left us to join his family and friends over the bridge. He walked away, his head held high, tail wagging- knowing he, my sweet little wiggle butt, is my greatest dog…ever.

SDOGS ilkRoad THE JAPANESE CHIN

by M.J. Nelson

T

he “silk road” was a series of trade routes through regions of Asia that connected the east to the west. The name “silk road” comes from the lucrative trade in Chinese silk that was carried on along its 4,000-mile length. In addition to trade goods, small dogs also traveled along the silk road accompanying the people journeying along this route where they served as both trade “bait” and as companions on the long trips. Some of these dogs wound up as pets of Buddhist Monks who bred various types in their monasteries. Eventually these little dogs were given to traveling dignitaries as gifts and they became the closely guarded pets of imperial families.

Peasants were not allowed to own them as the dogs were considered to be treasures, more valuable in some cases than gold.

From this background, along with several other toy breeds, came the Japanese Chin. Actually the “Japanese” part of the breed’s name may be a misnomer, as it appears the breed’s origins are Chinese, not Japanese. No matter what its actual origin, with a history of being a thoroughly pampered pet, the Japanese Chin took immediate ownership of whatever was its home whether it was 50 Dog News

TRUE North

ere in the True North, we have directors for the Canadian Kennel Club who are elected every two years by the voting members of the CKC. As well the general membership can vote on special referendums brought forth by the CKC or its members.

As well the most important Special Referendum when it comes to the health of the Canadian Kennel Club and its relationship with Agriculture Canada is the subject of “Rules of Eligibility”.

As explained by the CKC: The upcoming Referendum offers CKC members the opportunity to review and vote on the acceptance of the first seven “Rules of Eligibility” (ROE).

The Animal Pedigree Act requires the CKC to establish “Rules of Eligibility” (ROE) for the dogs it registers. ROE provide the criteria for eligibility of dogs for registration and the criteria for certification of dogs as purebred – the ROE are not to be confused with the much more extensive breed standards which describes a ‘standard of perfection’ for the show ring.

CKC has worked with Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada to establish ROE for a limited number of breeds (seven) as a pilot project. ROE, under the Act, define at the most basic level, distinguishing characteristics for the breed. Through this process, the CKC has relied upon the breed clubs whose invaluable assistance has led to a successful consultation with active breeders. Active breeders of the seven breeds in this pilot project have voted in favour of the proposed ROE by more than a 2/3 majority in all cases.

In light of misinformation that has been circulating, CKC would like to confirm the following: • Puppies will not be individually “evaluated”.

• Breeders will confirm on their litter application that the sire and dam are verified parents and meet the Rules of Eligibility.

• An “incorrect ear set” would not result in disqualifying a breeder as a CKC member.

• The requirements to establish ROE are not a decision of CKC staff or the Board of Directors.

• The process for recognition of new breeds in Canada will not be permitted until the satisfactory completion of this pilot phase for ROE. Continued on page 89

Fannie was born in 1861, Maud in 1863, Fannie died c.1947, Maud 1943 and both ladies have the distinction of being the first women artists to concentrate almost exclusively on painting dogs – both ladies went to the dogs!

There any similarity ends. Maud developed her own unique and recognisable style, slightly romanticised and often impressionistic, whereas Fannie was very much a Victorian traditionalist and her work sentimental, which greatly appealed to the age. Maud went out of her way to seek the patronage of the good and the great in the showing and breeding world, whereas Fannie shunned the showing world, even though she bred Scottish Terriers.

When asked why she disliked painting portraits of show dogs, she replied: “They [the owners] always want their favourite ‘points’ fully depicted. It is a curious thing, too, that a dog with a long pedigree and with ‘points’ is frequently a very unpaintable animal. To pay too much attention to a faddy owner, wholly ignorant of art, would be absolutely fatal to the production of a good portrait.”

Fannie Moody was the daughter of Francis Wollaston Moody, the genre and portrait painter, who was also instructor in decorative art at what is now the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, where he painted several ceilings. Fannie had no formal art training but a few anatomy lessons from the animal and genre painter, illustrator and author, John Trivett Nettleship. These she found distasteful, as she had to skin and dissect cats and dogs. A member of the Society of Lady Artists, she exhibited extensively, including for nine consecutive years at the Royal Academy, showing somewhat whimsical and sentimental pictures depicting animal behaviour. In 1898

Traditionalist

MOODY the Crystal Palace Art Union awarded her its silver medal for the best animal study.

The middle child of five children, she was from a fairly privileged background, her father was Lord of the Manor of Aspley, a title inherited from his father, and they employed a cook and servants in the house.

By the age of eight, Fannie Moody was sketching and making up tiny illustrated books of natural history, books in which deer had a major roll. She was inspired by Sir Edwin Landseer’s paintings of deer and unlike most little girls of her age who collected dolls, Fannie collected little models of deer.

Like all budding artists of her time, as she grew older she visited museums and galleries and copied all the major paintings, in her case especially those with animals. When she became a professional artist her pictures were composed from life, studying how animals behaved, how they interacted with one another, their attitudes and individual characteristics and, as she put it; “their unconscious humour.”

Perhaps rather arrogantly she belittled the burgeoning Impressionist movement saying it was beyond the British public’s simple and honest comprehension. Instead, she claimed, and rightly so for the time, that the vast majority liked sentiment, story and above all, a good “Perhaps rather title and it was the titles she gave to arrogantly she her pictures that she attributed much of belittled the burtheir success to.

Moody not being one of them, whose work still commands a lot of money, Victorian sentimental art has fallen from favour. Nevertheless her work hangs in private and public collections, including that of the British Kennel Club.

The British Scene

By Geoff Corish

Photo by Alan Walker The most difficult journey to a dog show in the UK is to Belfast, Northern Ireland. There is no quick way. Airlines will no longer transport dogs and so it has to be by road and ferry. The journey is usually a threehour journey, you can cross the Irish Sea down in the west of Wales, then there is from the Isle of Anglesey in North Wales, you can overnight from Merseyside or there are two crossing in Scotland. So whichever way you do it can be an arduous journey. But then we dog folk are a strong crowd and many of us do it. Well, why not? The Irish are renowned for their good humor and you can be guaranteed a good weekend. Many of us would travel over when the ‘troubles’ were in full swing but that didn’t deter us, as l said we dog folk are a strong bunch. The venue for the show is Kings Hall Complex, a variety of buildings purposely built to hold events such as this. Next year we are told a move is in the cards and it will be a move south to what was the old Maze Prison, used by members of the security forces during the ‘troubles’. It will be larger and obviously more comfortable than we presently have. Belfast Ch Show is the only all-breed championship show in Northern Ireland and was founded in 1880.

Because of its location the entry is much lower than on the mainland with 2,276 dogs and Boxers with the largest entries with 90 dogs for Dutch all-rounder Hans Van Den Berg, always a popular judge in this country. Golden Retrievers were next with 84 dogs and Cocker Spaniels with 83. Hans did the hound group and his winner was the Mini Smooth Dachshund Barratini Teddyboy at Lokmadi winning his UK title on the day, his breeder Carol Daykin also won

58 Dog News

the bitch certificate in Miniature Smooths and the dog certificate in Miniature Wires, quite a breeder. The top lady judge in the UK is of course Zena Thorn Andrews, her Drakesleat Miniature Wires are famous the world over. Zena judged the toy group and it was another group first for Michael Coad, Regina Belstad and Odvar Havelin’s Bichon Frise Ch Pamplona Just Magic, he is sired by the top Bichon stud of all time, Ch Pamplona Bring Me Sunshine, and bred of course by Michael. Ireland’s Susan Keely did the terrier group. Susan is well known for her Airedales, her winner was the top Irish terrier Ch Lakeridge Cahal owned by Judy Averis and Tony Barker and sired by Tony’s Ch/Am Ch Kells Touch of Fleet St and was handled by Judy’s son Johnny. The news of his mother’s death came minutes after he came out of the group and obviously he was not able to stay for best in show. The news of Judy’s death did put a damper on the show, she was a great terrier breeder but also had an eye for several breeds. We won’t see the like of her again.

The herding and working group was judged by Kevin Young and his herding winner was John and Lorraine Ritchie’s Hungarian Puli Ch Hillibel Ordug, which was sired by Ch/Australian/New Zealand Ch Kanetia Secret Service at Cordmaker and for working it was the Alaskan Malamute Ch Chayo My Prerogative and with an overseas sire Int/American/ Dutch/ Lux/Belgium Ch Sno Quests Limited Edition. The best in show judge was Christina Chapman, her first time judging best in show. For reserve best in show she chose the non sporting winner Ch Vanitonia As You Wish owned by Tom Isherwood and handler Lee Cox. Belfast is a lucky show for this kennel as they have had best in show here three times in previous years. For the top award it was the gundog group winner and was Karen Whitehead’s Weimaraner Show Ch Gunalt De Ice at Stridview handled by Jackie Wards. Bred by those phenomenal breeders of Weimaraners Patsy and Stephen Hollings and sired by Show Ch Gunalt Unstoppable ex Show Ch Gunalt Delicious, he was group 2 at Crufts in 2013.

Belfast is one of the few championship shows to have a best puppy in show competition judged on the group system. Christina also judged this and another well known breeder Helen Howard, who has produced some lovely Shih Tzu over the years, won with her new ‘star’ Tameron Mr New Edition. Not only best puppy in show but won his first certificate and best of breed at the tender age of 8 months old, quite something.

For reserve best puppy it was a new import from the US, Sporting Fields Charlotte’s Web at Lochiel is the new Border collie owned by Heather Turner and Julia Alexander. Bred of course by Debbie Butt and sired by Am Ch sporting Fields Keepsake ex Bayshore Hallelujah Sporting Fields.

Show Me The Future 2014 Basenji Nationals

By Lisa Stewart and Lisa Marshall

Photos by George Woodard and Joe Stewart The 35th Basenji Nationals were held from 21-27 September 2014 at the Purina Event Center, Gray Summit, Missouri.

I really love this designed-for-dogs facility!

The grounds are so lovely with the rolling hills and white fencing, particularly with the warm sunny autumn weather we had every day. The Event Center is huge and able to accommodate our indoor agility trial, as well as the obedience and rally trials later the same day. The sheep pasture down the road was very familiar to me from previous years’ lure coursing trials and race meets. Future development plans call for a new coursing field, separate from the sheep pasture.

The sheep will appreciate that I am certain.

I wish other sites had the RV/travel trailer drop off/pick up arrangement that Purina Farms has with two local RV sales and rental companies.

I decided to join some of my friends in renting a trailer onsite instead of staying in a hotel and I am so happy I did. MB Thomas was wonderful to work with and the trailer I rented was perfect.

I liked having that place to go between events.

With friends from near and far camping alongside me it was just so much fun. Almost every night we gathered to chat and enjoy the mild weather. I would do it again anytime.

The performance events are front ended loaded in the schedule so that any conformation bitches in season are kept away from the facilities used for coursing/racing, agility, obedience, and

rally. It minimizes the seasonal distractions, but it can be exhausting for dogs and handlers who do them all. Our specialty was held in conjunction with the Italian Greyhound Nationals and many of the performance events were shared with both breeds. The week began with the LGRA racing on Sunday, hosted by St. Louis Area Sighthounds. Monday I was up early to go over to the herding field to watch the ASFA and AKC lure coursing. Thanks to Holly Hamilton for being trial secretary for both trials. The rolling terrain and the interplay of sun and shadow on the hill where the judges were sitting made the courses a little bit of a challenge for more than a few dogs, but there were many exciting runs and very worthy Best of Breed winners in each trial. Over 100 Basenjis and Italian Greyhounds ran in the ASFA and AKC trials.

Tuesday started early with an all hound - all toy agility trial on the indoor agility field with

artificial turf and top notch equipment. We saw many really good runs by the basenjis in every level. The classes included Time to Beat, Standard, and Jumpers with Weaves. Among the qualifying runs, Linda Siekert and MACH Feigh had a triple Q and took High in Trial, and Jan Cook and Jada had a double Q! Way to go ladies!

After agility there was a Basenji and Italian Greyhound obedience trial. We had basenji entries in all classes and the nonregular beginner novice and veterans classes too. The only qualifier in the regular classes, and therefore high in trial from Novice A was Susan Cook’s Arrow. Rally followed, and by this time it was early evening making this a marathon day for the dogs who ran 62 Dog News

agility, then did obedience, and then rally too. My hat is off to them! Most of the basenjis qualified in each level and several got RAE legs! Linda Siekert and MACH Feigh got high combined with a score of 99 in Advanced B and 96 in Excellent B for 195.

I don’t know how they did it, but bright and early on Wednesday people

were up and at it for the NOTRA race meet. Susan Cook commented that NOTRA was well run and she was delighted to win one of the nice prizes embroidered by Pat Wand for Aubrey’s placement in veterans. Thanks to Andy Hayek and Jan Cook for bringing their starting boxes and to BCOSW for the rest of the equipment, and to Terry Colbert who was race meet secretary for both LGRA and NOTRA. Wednesday night the host club provided a tasty cookout/ picnic at Greensfelder Park – what a great time to meet up with friends from near and far!

There were doggie games and a really cool trunk sale. Years ago the nationals always had a specialty store, but over the years we have experimented with eas-

ier and more flexible ways to let members offer their wares. The trunk sale was so much fun, and a big success!

Sweepstakes judge Tad Brooks presided over many beautiful puppies on Thursday morning. I didn’t have a puppy to show, but I liked his ring procedure and table examinations.

I think most puppies looked like they did too. Basenji veterans hardly showed their age at all.

We remembered so many of the veterans from their glory days in the show ring! Congratulations to the puppy and veteran winners!

Dr. Stan Carter judged the African Match after Sweepstakes. What a lovely surprise to see Jon and Vicky Curby’s African import, Luka, make an appearance handled by Barbara Reisinger. Luka is such a sweet girl, wagging her tail all the way around the ring. Next up was the Parade of Rescues.

Mike Roach participated in the Rescue parade with his rescue basenji Gunner. I asked Mike to share some thoughts about the parade of rescues for this article. Thanks, Mike!

“While there weren’t as many spectators as I had hoped, I was overcome with happiness and pride at being able to share our Gunner with everyone. He has brought so much joy into our lives, and we feel grateful we were able to give Gunner the life he truly deserves. Everyone in the parade had a unique story as to how their Basenji(s) became part of their family, and the stories of the rescues themselves are amazing and were shared by Lisa Stewart as each basenji was announced. Even Lisa was in tears by the time she finished reading the stories.

Again, it was an amazing highlight of our week! We are so proud of Gunner and how far he’s come.”

The annual meeting took place Thursday evening in the cafeteria at the event center and that was followed by the Top 25 competition organized by Joe Tomey.

Three accomplished breeder/owner/handlers presided over the entries: Julie Jones, Jasiri-Sukari Basenjis; Sue Kite, Klassic Basenjis; and Linda Ehlers, Jerlin Basenjis. Congratulations to the winner!

Conformation classes started on Friday and concluded on Saturday under Judge Dr. Donald Sturz Jr., including our two basenji junior handlers first thing Saturday morning – so much fun to see these polished junior handlers with their basenjis showing us how it’s done! All the conformation results are included elsewhere in this issue and again, congratulations to the wonderful dogs and bitches competing and to the winners! Dr. Sturz had a calm and deliberate ring procedure that gave each dog an opportunity to show off his/her virtues. The excitement and anticipation in Best of Breed built steadily and when he had his final line up the crowd responded with cheers, whistles, and clapping!

The job of ring steward at a national specialty is an important one. The judge relies on the ring steward to keep the process accurate, orderly, and smooth. Brad Phifer (sweepstakes) and Katy Scott (conformation) were terrific stewards for their respective judges and we thank them as well as Dennis Arrand, who always lends his ring steward expertise at nationals.

No, I didn’t forget about the

Friday night banquet and auction. The annual banquet was held right in the Event Center, catered by the folks at Purina. I thought the meal was a good one with service that kept things moving. I love the auction! There was the usual silent auction prior to the banquet, which was followed by the very competitive voice auction with ever popular auctioneer Dave Thompson at the mic and the fabulous duo of Katie Campbell and Barbara Reisinger, who added the essential elegance to the item presentations!

It was all over too fast! I was sad to say good bye to my friends from far away, but we are all looking forward to reconvening in 2015 in Gettysburg!

n the days leading up to Thanksgiving in New York, the conversation about dogs usually involves which cartoon versions of them will be appearing in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. Snoopy? Underdog? This year, however, the dog talk is much more serious, as the New York City Council Committee on Health is considering several measures that could greatly impact the health of dogs, including one that would mandate the sterilization of pets prior to transfer.

The effort at government mandated spay/neuter is not new, of course, as municipalities all across the country have attempted to put similar measures in place – all of which have proven unsuccessful in addressing animal population concerns, primarily because they fail to address the issue of irresponsible owners and breeders who fail to abide by the law. The NYCCOH considered this issue back in April, and due to the American Kennel Club’s Government Relations Department, area clubs and members providing input and feedback, the committee has made major welcomed revisions to the initial proposals. However, as it stands, Amended Introduction NO. 136 would require that all puppies sold at pet stores (those who sell more than 25 dogs a year) be sterilized prior to sale, so that puppies as young as eight weeks of age would have to undergo this radical surgery.

The only exemption would be for pet stores that have a statement in writing that the animal will not be kept in New York City. Current law requires pet shops to sterilize dogs prior to sale unless the purchaser provides a letter from a veterinarian stating that the dog should be sterilized at a later time but this proposal would eliminate that consumer protection. Sterilization of a pet is a decision that should remain with the pet owner and veterinarian, not mandated by the state and left to pet shops to police.

While New York’s dog owners and breeders, clubs and the AKC’s Government Relations Department have been closely following these developments on the issue, the NYCCCOH’s timing of this meeting to consider such an important measure is worrisome, as this is the busiest travel week of the year. The AKC’s GR Dept. posted an alert to its website on Tuesday, November

18 and again on Friday, Nov. 21st informing its constituents about the NYCCOH meeting to take place on Monday, Nov. 24th at 9 A.M. but there’s no telling how many people caught wind of it and were able to attend and render their objection to such a damning measure. The timing of the meeting also underscores the critical role that AKC’s legislative liaisons play in keeping dog owners and breeders up to date on prospective laws that greatly impact their ability to own and breed dogs of their choosing. There is power in numbers and every voice and vote counts. It’s the duty of owners and breeders who are the voice of their dogs to represent their best interest and wellbeing in all legislative matters. All clubs are urged to elect or appoint a legislative liaison if they have not already done so to provide an important communications link between members and elected officials.

Among those providing additional testimony at Monday’s meeting were Sheila Goffe, Director of the AKC’s Government Relations Dept.; Ann Lettis, representing the Responsible Dog Owners Association of New York; and Dr. Linda Jacobsen, on behalf of the American Veterinary Medical Association and the NY State VMA. It’s hoped that those in attendance were able to elucidate for the NYCCCOH the growing scientific evidence that spay/ neuter surgeries performed on puppies as young as eight weeks of age can be harmful to the long-term health of the dog. A study conducted at Rutgers University found that sterilizing a dog before one year of age significantly increased the incidence of bone cancer, and a study conducted at UC-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine on Golden Retrievers found that “early neutering was associated with an increase in the occurrence of hip dysplasia, cranial cruciate ligament tear, lymphosarcoma, hemangiosarcoma, and mast cell tumor.” A Purdue University study on Rottweilers found that when spayed after

six years of age, they were 4.6 times more likely to reach 13 years of age than those sterilized at a younger age. The American College of Theriogenologists also advises against early spay/ neuter, stating that these practices “prior to puberty or sexual maturity may make the risks of some diseases higher in certain breeds or individual [dogs; therefore], the option to leave an animal intact must be available to the pet owner.”

The list of respected, professional organizations that oppose the concept of mandated spay/neuter is lengthy and it includes the American Veterinary Medical Association, the ASPCA, No-Kill Advocacy Center, the American College of Theriogenologists, the National Animal Interest Alliance, and of course, the AKC. Hopefully, the NYCCOH will listen to authorities on the subject and note all of the municipalities where these measures have failed at their proposed objectives of curtailing unwanted dog and cat populations.

The NYCCOH listened to dog lovers’ concerns before and implemented changes to appease them. Hopefully this time around dog owners’ concerns will be adequately addressed and fair, responsible legislation that protects the consumer and the health of dogs will be the final result, but the outlook of those in the trenches is shrouded in guarded optimism. Lettis wrote via email, “What is awful at these hearings is the fact that you never get an opportunity to negate some of the stupid uneducated comments made by AR people... If I hear over population in shelters one more time feel like I’m going to slap the person silly. In April I asked why nothing is being done about the dogs being brought into our shelters from other states, no answer. Same thing this time around. Shelter person talking about how if they get a dog in they make sure that before he/she is adopted it is spay or neutered. Correct me if I’m wrong but how can you tell if a bitch is spay? They say ¼ of the dogs in CDC are from pet shops. Well, where do the rest of them come from? Imagine putting a bulldog puppy 8 weeks old under anesthesia? This is just too cruel yet they’d have no problem banning cropping and docking. Go figure.”

Goffe added, “I am hopeful that they will once again review our written testimony and consider our requests for changes. My primary request was that they remove mandatory spay neuter from city code; but at minimum, they provide pet buyers with the option to have an exemption from mandatory spay neuter for the health of the puppy. I will be reaching out to them again this week to find out what the council staff anticipates the next steps will be.”

As of this writing, no vote has been scheduled.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE JUDGING TASK FORCE PLAN, NONE OF MY BUSINESS BUT....

M re

by Matthew H. Stander South Windsor Kennel Club P HOTO S b y K a r e n J u s t i n

It was in August of 2013 that much ado about nothing was caused by the then sitting Board when it created the much heralded JTF headed by Charlie Garvin along with Doug Johnson with Kent Delaney to develop yet a new Judges Approval plan. Guess what--- this plan was eventually submitted but as I recall never either made public nor certainly enacted upon. This was an epic tome in length and possibly very complicated to read. It took considerable time and energy on the part of the three men involved to draw up but never even made it out of Executive Session. I heard that Charlie was close to tears at the way it was dismissed by his fellow Board Members! With all the controversy involved in the plan finally presented by Alan Kalter it would have been nice to have been able to compare what Charlie and his Committee had to say with what was originally sent out by the majority on the Board. All was not quite as unanimous within the Board room as the Minutes indicated I am hearing and for a change the transparency of the majority on the Board is being challenged insofar as to how truly honest they are being with the Fancy at large as to what occurred in the Executive Session in which the JAP plan was finally accepted. It’s too bad that no one will admit to the fact that no matter what is approved there will never be unanimity as to what and how an approval should contain. It’s the overall intent of the process which must be analyzed and it is sad to report that the Kalter approval process uses as its foundation quantity instead of quality as its basis whereas the Garvin plan I am told did the exact reverse, as did to its credit did the Smith plan. I wonder in retrospect and knowing Charlie’s real devotion to the sport whether he is sorry now that the Smith plan and the Bivin Committee was disbanded and about to be replaced by a system closer to the disastrous 90 points of 68 Dog News

light theory than one based on improving the ability to judge at all and an essence of the breed philosophy too. I know how personally unhappy I am with various aspects of this latest plan, which I hope will be compromised down to something more like than offered by the Smith Committee.

I

usually try to stay out of Staff personnel decisions when they are personal matters between the corporation and the individual Staff members. Let’s face it, it really is none of my business to define job descriptions nor to question why people are moved within departments or what their personal relationships may or not be among individuals. But when people within the corporation decide to make pronouncements of Facebook about their jobs it does open the doors for anyone to comment about what they may or may not be doing. This has happened twice this year - once in late July, the other just recently- when Chris Walker posted on Facebook that he had left his job at AKC to return to the music business, the place from which he came. Both times his pronouncements on Facebook/and or LinkedIn were sent to me by other people who actually saw the postings. In both instances I called the person to whom he reports to ask what was going on-is Chris still an employee of AKC I would verbally ask or send an email posing the same question. And both times I was told what a great, hard-working, valuable, irreplaceable employee he was who moonlights on the side in the music field with the apparent approval of his superiors.

Which is all good and fine I suppose except when his public announcements about leaving AKC cause me to receive email after email about what he is up to. Immediately after my inquiries and the answers from AKC arrive the postings are taken off! Well if that’s how AKC wants to operate it’s its business but when I get inquires it turns into all our businesses. And when this is the same guy who walked out on the Board Meeting, who has allegedly quit his job three or four times in about a two-year period and a myriad of other things the stability of the situation must be raised. I mean how can anyone truly rely on his stability in his job but to their credit (or not) his supporters at AKC wholeheartedly support him and since that’s their call my basic point in writing about these

incidences is to inform those who ask me about him to be told what I have learned.

By the time you read this Thanksgiving will be over and the AENC week will be less than a day away. The entries for Cleveland, Allentown, PA and the new shows in Minnesota seem up as do the Florida shows for the final week. Good luck to everyone weather ways and I look forward to seeing many of you in California the week of the 5th and Florida the following days.

panions and as such, they want to be with their people having fun.

They are very good at reading the moods of their owners and others. The only reason Chins do a sport is because you are asking them to do it and they are happy to play your game as long as you remember that it is a game and they are doing it for you! If you are the type of person who stresses easily in competition or who expects a dog to work for hours with little payoff, you should not get a Japanese Chin to train. They work best in positive training situations with lots of rewards and games,” said Dr. Rosemary Strasser, who owns Satori (C-ATCH2 TACh ResQ’s Phoenix of Satori MX MXJ XF BN RA CGCA ChST ChCL CD-H RL1 UR01 WD NAC NJC TN-N.) “Japanese Chin are not the next Border Collies in the world of agility but they do enjoy running and playing just as much as the next dog. That is truly what agility is...playing. They are unbelievably smart, too smart in some cases. Once you can figure out how to make a Chin believe that agility is THEIR idea, you are home free. They are sturdy, healthy little dogs that should be able to do anything a big dog can do,” said Marisa Schmidt, who owns Tony-O (Ch Odessa’s Bandura CD RN OA NAJ TBAD), Kazi (Ch MACH3 Dizzy Kamikaze by Siltara PD1) and Chrissy (Ch Ni Kokoro Midwood Dizzy Diety NA NAJ.) One of the problems with training a Chin for any dog sport is that old methods of training still linger

Satori (C-ATCH2 TACh ResQ’s Phoenix of Satori MX MXJ XF BN RA CGCA ChST ChCL CD-H RL1 UR01 WD NAC NJC TN-N), Dr. Rosemary Strasser’s Chin, loves to play games and, of course, get a cookie at the end of the game.

and there is also carryover in the thinking of Chin owners from the days when serious force was an integral part of obedience training. “When I first started training Chins some 15+ years ago, there were people in the Japanese Chin club who worried that the breed would not do well in dog sports.

The thinking back then was that training involved force with choke chains, prong collars and the like, which would be terrible for a Chin especially since they are a brachycephalic breed. Even today, with new activities such as weight pull, I never use force-based methods.

It is all about having a positive relationship with your dog so they want to play with you and earn a cookie. Being involved in several different sports seems to keep them interested in things much

Satori is involved in a variety of dog sports including weight pull, as the breed is capable of doing just about any activity as long as they think it is fun.

longer because of the variety. I still get questions, and sometimes criticism, from those not involved in dog sports, on how I can get a Chin to do these activities when they have trouble even getting them to walk on a leash. It’s very important to keep in mind that Japanese Chins will not put up with the repetition that some breeds will tolerate so training sessions must be short with a high payoff. You just have to keep things in perspective. They’re not going to be the fastest dogs on an agility course but in Satori’s case, she’s been very consistent and has earned many of the double Qs necessary for a MACH. Too many breeders still see Japanese Chins as lap dogs that just need to win in the conformation ring. Fortunately, a growing number of breeders are recognizing the importance of having smart, athletic dogs in their breeding programs and they value these abilities in their dogs,” said Strasser.

“Not every dog will be a world-beater in everything they try but it is important to try several activities to see which ones they like.

Any dog can be successful in any sport as long as

you take the time to teach it and make it fun! With my dogs, I’ve noticed that my best agility dogs are not my best show dogs and vice versa. I don’t mean that they have inferior conformation. They just don’t display the same sort of vigor and enthusiasm in the show ring as they do in agility. In agility, the weave poles have been the most difficult obstacle for my dogs to master. So, what I did to overcome this problem was try different methods of teaching them how to do the weave poles until I found one that worked.

One of my dogs ran into the weave poles in the yard and hurt herself. After that, every time she saw them, she would run in the opposite direction. So, I changed how they looked. I used the weave-o-matic method and started to retrain her.

Now she runs to the poles.

I always use short training sessions a few times a day starting with foundation training with no actual obstacles and working our way up. You can’t do calculus without learning how to add and subtract, right? It’s the same for agility. If you don’t teach the foundation and basics, they can’t progress to the harder handling

It is important to remember, according to Strasser, that the only reason Chins do a sport is because you are asking them to do it and they are happy to play your game as long as you remember that it is a game and they are doing it for you!

moves. Way too many people in the breed think that Japanese Chins can’t work because they are fluffy, smushed-faced dogs. NOT SO! They can do it all.

While they are brachycephalic and it is harder for them to breath when they run or it’s hot, that doesn’t mean they can’t run or jump or excel in agility. You simply have to put in the training time, just as you have to do with any other breed. As a breeder, while I believe in breeding to the standard, that doesn’t mean breeding a dog that is not capable of sports because their ‘conformation’ got in the way. Being able to do agility shows just how smart and sound this breed can be. Those are traits I want to carry on in the dogs that come from my breeding. We are fortunate in that there is overwhelm-

ing support in our breed for anything those of us interested in performance activities try to do with our dogs and our parent club is behind the performance Chin 100 percent,” said Schmidt.

O

ne challenge the breed faces, according to Strasser, is one that most breeds face, which is educating the public about the breed, what it takes to care for them, who should own them and how to tell a responsible breeder from one who is simply breeding to sell puppies.

“I work in rescue and I see far too many Japanese Chin coming into rescue from puppy mills that have a variety of health problems. This is not good for the breed’s future or for its image with the public. Another concern I have is that those people breeding for the show ring do not push the standard too far to the extreme. By this I mean dogs that are too small or have too ‘pushedin’ noses. Japanese Chins are athletic, wickedly smart and funny little dogs that can be a joy to train. Keeping these characteristics and valuing them in the breed is the greatest challenge we face.”

GENTLEMAN’S GUIDE TO LOVE & MURDER, the musical selection for the WESTMINSTER THEATRE BENEFIT, was the Tony Award winner for Best Musical and believe me you’ll enjoy it. Tickets are selling quickly, don’t be left out. See the advertisement for the benefit in this issue of DOG NEWS for information and reservations. Lots of comments from the fancy about the proposed changes for applying to judge. It is heartwarming to see such participation. However, with all that comment, not so much on the amount of shows that requires these (according to the proposal) necessary changes. To me it’s putting the cart before the horse.

But if the kennel club doesn’t want to address the alarming amount of dog shows it approves, then maybe those on the Board who think everyone and anyone should judge could be the final nail in the coffin. Congratulations to SUSAN LILLY, CEO of the AKC Canine Health Foundation, on being named the Outstanding Fundraising Professional at the National Philanthropy Day celebration sponsored by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, Triangle chapter in Raleigh, North Carolina.

MERICAN DOG SHOW JUDGES RESPOND TO AKC’S PROPOSED JUDGING APPROVAL PROCESS The following is the American Dog Show Judges’ response to the AKC Board of Directors Proposed Judging Approval Process - 2014 The Positive Aspects Of The Proposal And A Few Suggestions: A great deal of this proposal is very positive and contains changes the ADSJ has called for over the years. We certainly support the improvements that the AKC Board has included in this proposal which address a number of the concerns of our members.

These improvements include: • A refinement of the component system which recognizes the relative values of the various educational experiences • The ability to apply for additional breeds before the required permit assignments have been completed in every new breed • Recognition of the value of the body of experience of multiple group judges resulting in a slightly faster track for these judges • Recognition of the fact that learning is cumulative and therefore credit should be given for early educational experiences in a breed • The return to in-ring observation as a valuable learning experience • The payment of a one-time $25.00 processing fee for each new breed.

We would like to suggest a few modest changes to the proposal: • Expand the experiences that carry CEU credits, such as: • Kennel visits when done under a few simple guidelines that usually enhance learning • A second seminar on a breed to carry some credit when taken with a different presenter • Allowing some credit for attending regional specialties and large supported entries • Reducing the number of permit assignments required before attaining regular status • Rescind the 80% policy which is both difficult for clubs and unnecessary.

The Fatal Flaw In This Proposal: The one overriding negative aspect of this proposal is contained in the provision of removing the Reps from the approval process. Since the Reps’ involvement in the approval process constitutes the only evaluation of a judge’s breed knowledge or the judge’s ability to apply breed knowledge in a judging context, this provision is tantamount to eliminating all evaluation from the judging approval process. Under the proposed system the attainment of regular status as a judge of a particular breed would no longer certify to the dog show public that the judge is a qualified entry level judge of this newly acquired breed. We believe eliminating evaluation is an abdication by the AKC Board of the responsibility implicit in the AKC constitution, namely, that by approving judges, AKC attests to their competency to adjudicate a class of dogs. This provision amounts to “opening the flood gates” to anyone who wishes to judge without any evaluation of their competency or accountability for their performance. No doubt this proposed policy, if implemented, would result

80 Dog News

in the creation of so many new judges that clubs would never again have any difficulty finding and hiring AKC judges. However, it will also give clubs no assurance that an AKC judge who has advanced under the proposed system is anything more than a judge in name only.

The shortage of group and multiple group judges, which this proposal seems designed to correct, is the direct result of the failure to develop a clear, fair, transparent and intellectually sound judging approval process. To implement this proposed policy, devoid of any evaluation or performance standards, would only be to compound these past failures and would destroy what credibility the AKC enjoys within the dog show world both here in America and around the world. If this approval policy were in place, the often heard claim that AKC judges are the best judges in the world, would soon become laughable.

When asked, “Are you in favor of doing away with all evaluation in the judging approval process?”, over three quarters of our members answered NO. However, some people have had such bad experiences with the Reps that they are happy to remove all the Reps from the approval process.

Many of our current AKC Reps do an excellent job and their skills in handling the evaluation tasks they have been given should be used as a model for others.

However, it is no secret that some Reps do not do as good a job of evaluating judging performance as they should. Many of our members think some Reps lack interpersonal skills, are poor listeners, allow personal relationships to cloud their objectivity and exhibit an arrogant, high-handed attitude when dealing with a judge on permit. Most of our members believe that the Reps are simply not qualified to evaluate judging in certain breeds and they especially are not capable of determining specific placements from ringside in all breeds. In addition, Reps sometimes differ with one another on the meaning of the evaluative terms (i.e. meets expectations, etc.) which only further demonstrates their lack of training. Ultimately, these shortcomings of the Reps, like the shortage of multiple group judges, are the responsibility of the AKC Board. The Reps have not been trained for, nor have they been evaluated in, the role that has been thrust upon them. As was the case with the former in-ring observer program, the AKC Board, in this proposed approval process, seems to be reacting to criticism by throwing the baby out with the bath water. Yes, the Reps should be better prepared and they should be supplemented with breed mentors when evaluating a judging performance in a breed that is unfamiliar to them. Nonetheless, as they collectively represent the evaluative aspect of the approval process, they certainly should not be eliminated from the process.

Without the Reps conducting interviews and judging observations, there would be no evaluation as part of the approval process. Without evaluation, the entire judging approval process loses any credibility.

With no credible judging approval process, the AKC risks losing the support of its core constituency as well as its public image. As the guardians of the sport of purebred dogs, do the current members of the AKC Board of Directors really believe that rushing this proposal through without the Reps is a step they should take? We certainly hope not. To say the least, we will be very interested in the outcome of your deliberations on this matter.

Thank you for inviting our thoughts on this important topic and for taking the time to give our comments your serious consideration.

For the Board of Directors of the American Dog Show Judges, I am Sincerely yours, Dr. Gerard C. Penta President

N INSPECTOR’S RESPONSE TO AKC’S RESTRUCTURING IN RALEIGH Please allow me to respond to the recent November 14, 2014, Dog News magazine editorial segment entitled: A PHYSICAL RESTRUCTURE IN RALEIGH This segment reads in part: Have you heard the big news from Raleigh this week? Customer service, registration and other services are going to be done remotely (staff will be telecommuting); thus third floor essentially is going to be sublet. The main thrust of this restructuring will result in many work stations at home for departments affected, which as reported to these pages will primarily affect the registration department.

This seems to be the route of many corporations whose staffs have been downgraded in size due to the use of computers reducing the need of actual manpower.

Yes, technology changes, along with corporate downsizing, coupled with the country’s economy woes, seem to be taking hold of our country.

Nonetheless, from an old retired AKC Inspector’s perspective, I trust my former department will withstand this trend. Or be restructured, as to not hinder the exceptional relationship the department has with its many breeder/customers. Just judging from history, however, corporate costcutting moves seem to always find its way into all aspects of any given corporation.

Regardless of the marketing campaigns, or quasi-responsibilities being proposed for AKC’s breeders, this crisis will not ease until the priority items, needed to live, return to normal. And according to the economic experts, the situation may not improve for some time, with the worse being ahead of us.

The AKC Inspections Department is a big chunk of the AKC budget. This department should be adjusted, in approbation with all other AKC departments, to adjust to the economic hard times of “tightening the belt” in order to survive. Based on my fourteen years field experience, as an “Executive Field Agent” (Inspector) and having visited in excess of 5000 kennels, I feel that I am qualified to speak to this issue. The Inspections Department should not only move into the 21st century, but should also “trim the fat”. And this could very well be accomplished, without hindering the veracity or the reliability of the department, as follows: • The Investigators should be

classified as “Inspector I” and “Inspector II”. The “Inspector I” status should remain in tack, as long as the Inspector remains actively employed. All new Inspectors should be classified as “Inspector II”. The “Inspector II” should work on a contract fee basis only. The contract should specify an hourly rate and expenses only and not be given any fringe benefits.

• The AKC web site now registers litters and dogs on line. The web site also allows breeders to set up dog and litter record formats, similar to the databases used by the inspectors, in comparing the breeders’ written records on site. With this new computerized technology, consideration could now be given to online inspections, for breeders who have a long positive inspection track record. A few days a week, or whenever the Inspector is grounded due to bad weather, could be designated for the Inspectors to work the online inspections from home. Thus covering more inspections and cutting travel expenses.

• The Inspector work scheduled should be compiled, according to the risk factor involved.

Those breeders, with a constant “ In Compliance” track record, should be listed as a “low risk “ inspection. While, those breeders who continue “not to be In Compliance”, should be listed as being “High Risk”. The “low risk breeders should receive the on-line inspections, as mentioned above. While the “High Risk breeders should receive an on-site inspection yearly, whenever possible. The online inspections would then free up time for the Inspectors to concentrate on the field inspections of breeders who have a history of non-compliance issues, or present an ongoing problem to the registry. .

• Local vets should be allowed, by the Inspector assigned to the area, to collect “family pack” DNA samples. This method of DNA collection could be certified by the vet, when the samples are turned over to the Inspectors. The process would expand the DNA process and free up some badly needed inspection time. Puppies, which have been DNA tested, should receive a reduced registration fee.

• Eliminate the majority of the Inspector’s field paper work, which takes a substantial portion of the Inspectors after hours (hotel) time, by sending the various completed reports to the corporate office daily, via the internet. Reports such as the Inspection Compliance Reports, The Kennel Condition Reports, The DNA reports, any Warning Letters given, the Inspector’s Expense Report, etc.

Nevertheless, not to sell the AKC inspection program short, in light of the AKC’s cost saving mind-set, the inspections program could very well continue to go forward as mentioned above, by moving into the high tech 21st century. AKC’s objective should be to consider the above austere moves, which continue to accomplish the integrity of the inspection process.

After all, the bottom line has always been the breeder’s integrity. And this integrity can be validated, by a combination of an on-line and on-site inspection process. To include consideration of the breeders’ past track records of proper dog identification and records compliance, no incorrect DNA reports, no reports of prior animal abuse, etc.

Rather radical thoughts, wouldn’t you say? However, The “What smells AKC Inspections Department

must move ahead, in order to survive the other sub-par dog registries. After all, the AKC started this crazy dog business over a hundred years ago. Classic cars are great. However, I don’t think A Model “T” Ford would hold up against a modern day “Honda” SUV, do you?

Now, I love my former livelihood, and would do anything to help the advancement of the “purebred” dog initiatives. I can’t help but think that the AKC is perfectly able and capable of moving ahead, into the 21st century. You see, when you are the best in your field, you should never go backward or even stand still.

This is just my opinion, what’s yours?

Charles Robey, Executive Field Agent (Ret.) Trussville, AL

ULNERABLE BREEDS COMPETITION TO BE LAUNCHED IN 2015 The Kennel Club is launching a new competition for dog show exhibitors who show vulnerable British & Irish breeds, to raise awareness of these breeds and to recognise those who are dedicated to their survival and prosperity.

The Kennel Club Vulnerable British & Irish Breeds Competition, which will be open to all vulnerable breeds competing at Open and Championship Shows, will enable dogs that are on the Kennel Club’s vulnerable breeds list to collect points for awards at dog shows. Points can be claimed for Best of Breed or Best Any Variety Not Separately Classified (AVNSC) and also for Group placings at Championship shows.

The aim of the competition, which is sponsored by Eukanuba and run in conjunction with media partner Our Dogs, is for dogs to collect the highest number of points for their breed in a calendar year.

At the end of the year the top scoring dog from each breed will be invited to compete at the competition’s Crufts final and the inaugural final will take place at Crufts 2016.

Caroline Kisko, Kennel Club Secretary, said: “The Kennel Club’s list of vulnerable breeds includes some of the nation’s oldest dog breeds that have played an important role in this country’s history. The list includes breeds such as the Smooth Collie

best at Thanks giving di nner?”

“Your nos e!”

and the Irish Terrier which were used to carry messages between trenches in the First World War, to the Manchester Terrier, which received a Royal Warrant for rat catching for Queen Victoria.

“We are thankful to those dedicated and passionate owners who use their knowledge, care and expertise to ensure that these breeds continue to be a part of our society and we have launched this competition to give them the recognition and prestige that they deserve.”

The Kennel Club encourages show societies and breed clubs representing vulnerable breeds to work together to ensure that as many people as possible enter the competition, which is running on a one year trial basis in order to gauge its popularity.

Caroline continued: “The Kennel Club has ensured that there is no extra administration or management required by already busy show societies in order to run this competition and make it a success; it simply requires dog owners to enter the appropriate breed or AVNSC class scheduled at any Open or Championship show.

“However, we do encourage show societies to work with breed clubs of vulnerable breeds to explore offering Breed Club Supported Entry Classes. This will enable breed clubs to mobilise their membership to enter the classes and give their expertise in recommending the number of classes and judges to use, whilst the show society benefits from increased entries. The Breed Club Supported Entry model ensures that if, for any reason, the classes fail to attract the hoped for entry, the society does not need to include them in their class average calculations.”

Throughout the year, competitors can track their success on the official leader board which is published in the monthly competition feature in Our Dogs. Anyone taking part is reminded to regularly log their points with Our Dogs by submitting the completed point tracker form, available on the Kennel Club website, either by email to pam@ourdogs.co.uk or at the Our Dogs stand at general and group championship shows.

To take part in the competition, owners simply need to download a Kennel Club British & Irish Breeds competition claim form, which will be used to record their points throughout the year. At the end of the year, the completed form needs to be submitted to the breed shows team at breedshows@thekennelclub. org.uk and the Crufts finalists will be notified by the Kennel Club. The claim form, an FAQ document on the new competition and further information. is available at www.thekennelclub.org. uk/vulnerablebreedscompetition The Vulnerable British & Irish Breeds Competition replaces the Kennel Club Breeders’ Competition, which will hold its last final at Crufts 2015.

The American Kennel Club Registered Handlers Program on the abuse of Service Dog status

ecently, our fellow professional handling organization, the Professional Handlers Association (PHA), made a public statement as to their position regarding the abuse of the “Service Dog” designation and its ramifications to their membership. We, the AKC RHP, commend the PHA for its initiative and would like to take this opportunity to publically stand with the PHA on this issue.

The American Kennel Club’s Position Statement regarding the Misuse of Service Dogs: Canine Legislation Position Statement Use of Working, Assistance and Service Dogs The American Kennel Club strongly supports the training and use of dogs by humans, whose lives are enriched by dogs’ performing essential services. Dogs provide a wide variety of valuable services including: handicapped assistance dogs; drug, bomb, and

arson detection dogs; and tracking dogs to locate missing persons and fugitives.

The AKC opposes those who seek to define the assistance and service that dogs provide to humans as exploitative. The AKC encourages the continuation and further development of the use of dogs for these and similar purposes.

The AKC supports the right of persons who require a dog to perform essential services to be permitted to keep a dog without regard to the dog’s size, phenotype or breed.

The AKC Registered Handlers Program is clear in its support of the above statement. Misuse of the Service Dog status for transporting dogs by our members is not acceptable and will not be condoned. Infractions would include but not be limited to

any misrepresentation of a dog to be a service animal or an able-bodied individual accompanying a certified service dog to gain travel benefit.

In addition to meeting specific criteria, AKC Registered Handlers must certify as a condition of membership that they will comply with its RHP Code of Ethics. Violations reported to the AKC RHP will be reviewed as a willful disregard of our Code of Ethics and if warranted, will subject the member to disciplinary action.

You are encouraged to speak with an RHP Field Coordinator or Regional Representative with any concerns or questions regarding this policy.

TRUE North

Continued FROM page 54

The experience from the establishment of ROE during this pilot will be used to determine how best to proceed with other breeds. CKC members may rest assured that as we move forward to include other breeds, we will rely on the breed clubs and the input of active breeders for their expertise because after all, they are the experts when it comes to their breeds.

The ROE is definitely a subject being forced on us by Agriculture Canada.

The CKC did not initiate this. It all began decades ago when they changed the old Livestock & Pedigree Act to the Animal Pedigree Act and asked us to start developing ROEs for each breed. CKC wanted them to accept our Breed Standards and the fact that we were not typical of other Livestock registries, that we are companion animals. Ag Canada was not pleased with our answer and has refused to register any new breeds, hence why we have so many breeds in the Listed class. In the last five years we have tried to improve our relationship and have finally come up with a solution that will hopefully appease Ag Canada. If the seven Breeds are approved by the membership, we can develop ROE’s for some of the Listed breeds that are sitting in limbo to help them gain full breed recognition. We then need to work on doing the ROE’s for the other 170 + breeds to be compliant with the APA and maintain our improved relationship with Ag Canada, which has been rocky for the past decade. In addition to what I said above here is an answer from Doug Windsor, a member of the ROE committee: “ The seven breeds completed so far will serve as a template for the other 170+ breeds to use to create their own ROE. No breeds can move off the Listed list until they create a ROE. That being said not all breeds can move (some are already under the APA and moving them will be more difficult). Once the seven breeds are approved in the Fall Referendum, David Trus will allow some breeds (with approved ROE created) to move to full CKC registry (this is what many of these breeds want and have been waiting 15 years to achieve). The ROE committee hopes that all 177 breeds can have a completed ROE in five years.

The committee will create a “rough” ROE for each breed. This will be sent to the National Clubs (if they exist) for their approval and any changes. A typical ROE would be 40-60 words. The finalized and club approved ROE for each breed will

be sent to all the people who have bred a litter in that breed in the last 5 years (per CKC Stud Book).

A 66% approval will pass the ROE and it will become part of the CKC Bylaws. As noted above, this is NOT a CKC initiative but is a requirement to remain under the APA. Most of the other registries under the APA (pigs, cows, sheep, horses, llama, etc.} have been in compliance for years. CKC is moving forward with help from David Trus. Once again,

this is a demand from Agriculture Canada. CKC would not be doing this otherwise and there is no hidden agenda here. This is a very expensive and time consuming task both for CKC staff and the volunteers who have agreed to give their time to move this forward.”

(Thank you to Richard Paquette for this explanation).

We will see how all of this ends up affecting the CKC and Agriculture Canada.

Shunde, China Championship Dog Shows w Continued FROM page 45

gentleman by the name of Andy Gong. Andy organized dog shows for the China Kennel Club. At this time there were three main organizations running dog shows in China: The China Kennel Club, The China Kennel Union and the N.G.K.C. There were also shows being organized by the government. There were very bad feelings between the different organizations and no cooperation between any of them. As an example, China Kennel Club and NGKC would each hold dog shows in Beijing on the same weekend. Here in the US many people felt eventually the different organizations might come together. I believe even AKC thought this would come about. Spending time in China I was confident this would never happen. It would be as if in America AKC and the United Kennel Club would become one organization.

The NGKC and AKC formed an alliance called Global Services. This was for the purpose of AKC to process the registrations of NGKC. This would be a way that AKC could raise revenues. The China Kennel Union had an alliance with FCI, but did not have full recognition with FCI. China Kennel Club had its own registry.

Individual exhibitors had to register their dogs with the different organizations if they wanted to show at shows held by the different organizations.

The last couple of years major changes have taken place with the three main organizations. Andy Gong resigned from China Kennel Club and that organization is no longer holding shows. AKC recognized NGKC as a kennel club of China. FCI gave full recognition to the China Kennel Union. Since then Kennel Union is fully recognized by FCI and judges can no longer judge non FCI shows in Asia.

This will be a hardship on NGKC in that many will not judge for them since FCI will bar them from judging FCI shows. In the past NGKC has used mostly American and Canadian judges. Canada is

an associate member of FCI so no Canadian judges will be able to judge for NGKC. The American judges can continue to judge for them if they do not care about being banned from FCI. We have to remember the US and England are the only countries of the world that are not FCI. NGKC recently sent nine people from China to Raleigh to be trained as judges. I believe these nine people can now judge NGKC shows, but nowhere else in the world.

Even though AKC recognizes NGKC I cannot imagine they will be permitted to judge in the US. I would think it will become very difficult for NGKC to continue to hold very many shows per year.

When I received a list of dates for different weekends in China, I was pleased to have this date available and it was for a part of China I had never been to before. It is always a great luxury to be able to visit a place one has never been to before. As many times as I have been to China, I know I will never be able to visit all the great places. There are even some states in the US I have not visited. I know a lot of judges will not take foreign assignments for various reasons. The main reason is probably the long flights. I am lucky because I can fly out of Newark direct to nearly every major city of Europe, Asia and South America. I can actually fly to Beijing quicker than some people who have to make double connections to get to a show within our own country. I am also very lucky that I sleep extremely well on planes. Often, not even by choice, I get on a plane extremely tired. I also, at times, will sleep very little the night before. Eating and red wine also adds to sleeping better.

Surprisingly after sleeping the majority of the 16-hour flight from Newark to Hong Kong, I was still able to sleep well upon arrival to Shunde. Leaving the Hong Kong airport at 8:30 PM, we did not arrive to the hotel in Shunde until 11:30. When leaving Hong Kong we had to go through

w

the border crossing and show our Visa and passports to enter mainland China. Several of the other judges flew into the local airport, but had 5 hours waiting time for the connection in Hong Kong.

Frankie Leung organized the show here in Shunde, but lives in Hong Kong. Some Americans forget that Hong Kong is a separate country from China. Not only is it separate in government and economically, but also a different culture.

Another reason that many judges do not experience foreign assignments is because they are all rounders or have five or six groups.

These judges are probably judging the vast majority of weekends in the States. Some even feel they should not give up a four or five-day weekend where they might receive roughly $2,000 in judge’s fees. I look at the other side of the coin, that I’m getting a paid vacation. So many foreign assignments to me are places I could never go to if I had to pay for the trip myself. I also look at it as a great educational experience.

I have never wanted to be an all-rounder, but enjoy learning about so many breeds.

There are breeds that come under me for BIS at home that I am not licensed for.

Some of these breeds I have judged thousands of in different countries and feel I have a good in depth understanding of correct breed type. Foreign assignments give one a lot of experience to discuss dogs with some of the great judges of the world. Example: Agawahk are extremely rare in the US. I have developed a great passion for the breed. I have watched them at World Shows and been able to discuss the breed with leading experts and the leading breeders of the breed. It is practically impossible to develop a great understanding of the breed within the US. Foreign travels also educates us to how far certain breeds have strayed from original breed type. Certain breeds the US has to be credited with improving and I

think Whippets would be an example. However, some breeds we have totally changed from original breed type. English Springer Spaniels are a classic example. We have developed a new breed, the American Springer Spaniel. This is a wonderful breed and we have produced so many really great ones, but they are not English Springers. A year ago I judged in Puerto Rico and gave the breed and group to a beautiful English Springer puppy bitch. Some Americans that were present asked if that was some kind of new breed. When I replied it was a Springer they asked what kind of Springer.

They had a hard time believing it was an English Springer. She was heavily ticked and also had a tail. There are probably only a handful of judges in the States that will award her the second major. Her sire represented Spain in the World Challenge this past year at Eukanuba. I could not believe how many people did not even know what breed it was. As Americans, we sometimes become so isolated. As an example, take the travesty that happened in the Poodle judging one day of the Eukanuba weekend.

We bred so far away from Cocker Spaniels we had to split the breed into American Cockers and English Cockers. It is hard to comprehend why we have never split Springer Spaniels and maybe also Goldens.

We keep recognizing so many new rare breeds and some we will never see very many of. I cannot understand why we do not recognize a great breed we have so successfully developed in America like American Springer Spaniels.

Arriving Wednesday evening around 7:30 PM, I cleared immigration and customs by 8:30 and Frankie Leung was waiting to greet me. It is always a pleasure to have a friend waiting to greet you upon arriving in an unfamiliar land. Thursday was a day to relax and adjust to the huge time change. All of the other five judges flew into the local airport. The shows took place on Friday, Saturday and Sunday with two shows

Shunde, China Championship Dog Shows w Continued FROM page 91

per day. There were six different judges from many different countries. Jose Juan Hernando Vida Monter from Spain, David Strachan, an Australian now living in Thailand, Partha Sekhar Chatterjee from India, Simon Sim from the Philippines and Sim Swee Lim from Malaysia. Each day two judges would judge while the other four could go sightseeing or shopping.

The accommodations at the Fosham/Shunde Wyndam were extremely luxurious. I cannot remember the last time I stayed in such fabulous surroundings, maybe about ten years ago at the Four Seasons in Buenos Aires. Several of the Asian judges did not arrive until during the day on Thursday. At the dinner Thursday evening we all took an immediate liking to each other.

I had met Simon Sim when I judged the big circuit shows in the Philippines this past January.

As a whole, most of the shows in China are rather small.

One has to remember the sport is still very new to China. Maybe it has only existed for around twenty years. There was another FCI club holding a show at the same time near Beijing, which had about 150 dogs, but here in Shunde the entry was only 80 dogs. For various reasons the show was much smaller than they had expected. Especially interesting was the good depth of quality. With very few exceptions, they were all of good show quality. On Saturday when I judged BIS I only had five dogs in the final lineup. Four of them were of exceptional quality. All four could win Bests in the US. It was so hard to believe with only 80 dogs entered it rivaled some of our lineups in the States. My winner was the Affenpinscher that was BIS at the World Show recently in Helsinki where he defeated 22,000 dogs. Second Best was a French Bulldog that could have been very competitive at the French Bulldog Club of America National Specialty, which I attended just several weeks ago. Third was a Pom that can win big time anywhere in the world today. Fourth was a Pembroke although bred in China, the sire and dam are from the “Riverside” kennels of Deb Schindle in Florida.

There was also a stunning brown Mini Poodle that won both BIS on Friday where the Affie was both times Reserve BIS. In the Working group at both shows Saturday, Jose and I gave second to a Mini Schnauzer that could compete extremely well in the States. Yes, in FCI Affenpinschers and Mini Schnauzers compete in the Working group. I will not understand why Mini Schnauzers compete in the Terrier group in the US. This show was a great example of how the sport is becoming closer and closer together. The six judges were all from different countries, but yet the judging was so similar. Although the US might have slightly different standards from the rest of the world, great dogs can be judged by either FCI or American standards with the same results. Having so few dogs and a large amount of time to discuss breeds in general, it was amazing to see just how close our opinions were in nearly all breeds. I have always preached one should not be a fault judge, unless it takes away from breed type. There was a dog that I was the odd man in my evaluation of.

This dog was full of virtues and only had two shortcomings. Maybe at times our judgment is because we become products of our environment. He possessed only what has become so prevalent in the breed today and this same fault I have a hard time with in any breed.

His other shortcoming was something that our standard lists as a serious fault and yet the American dogs are plagued with the same two shortcomings. In fairness to me, the dog I placed over him had wonderful virtues and no major faults. This might be an example of how very good judges can come up with a different result due to having different priorities of weighing virtues and shortcomings.

Like anywhere there

“This show was a great example of how the sport is becoming closer and closer together.

The six judges were all from different countries, but yet the judging was so similar.”

w

were some classes that could be argued four different ways. But it was interesting that the overall results were so similar between the six different judges. I did not see any decisions that I could not agree that they could not be justified either way. In my opinion these were six magnificent dogs that can compete very successfully anywhere today.

All of these fine examples of their breeds were greatly appreciated by all six judges. It was a very enlightening experience for me being able to spend so much time discussing different breeds with extremely knowledgeable people in the sport.

Most of the top dogs went back to American breeding, but were bred in China or neighboring Asian countries. Again it was fascinating to see a show with only 80 dogs entered and the lineup for BIS was full of dogs that could compete at the biggest shows in America On a sad note, like I have seen in different places world wide are the dogs sold by top American breeders that are not of the caliber they were sold for. This sometimes gives new meaning to the “Ugly American”.

American breeders should be extra careful of the quality of dogs they export to other lands. It is a true reflection on their breeding skills and more important on their honesty. Puppies can certainly change a great deal and that is why very young dogs should not be exported or be imported by foreign exhibitors.

Most of the judges flew home from the local airport on Monday, but Jose Monter traveled back to Hong Kong on Monday for our flights on Tuesday. Frankie Leung and the entire hard working committee of the Shunde Allbreed China Championship Dog Show deserve a great deal of congratulations and gratitude for staging a perfectly organized show. This was a perfect example of

good things come in small packages. Like anywhere today the size of the shows in China are not growing at a fast rate, but the quality of the dogs certainly is.

The hospitality was wonderful. We dined one day for lunch in a very famous seafood restaurant where our meal came right out of the water minutes before being served to us. Because of my smaller appetite I had to sample very small portions so I could sample everything. I had just a couple of hours earlier enjoyed a very large breakfast before leaving Shunde.

After a very long wonderful lunch, it was back in the car to drive to Zhongshan where we would be spending Monday night. Upon entering Zhongshan one immediately realizes why it is called the “Garden City”. The roads leading into the city are lined with beautiful gardens on each side and in between. The beautiful colors of the flowers adds so much charm to the city. I was sorry we did not have more time to spend in Zhongshan. The time we spent here was taken up by a very lengthy massage and pedicure. Just about every inch of our bodies was massaged.

After the massage it was time to once again indulge in our last Chinese feast. We had to leave Zhongshan at 5:30 AM for my 10:25 AM flight. Immigration had to be cleared leaving China and then a very short distance upon entering Hong Kong.

My four passions in life are dogs, food, wine and good company. This trip gets an A plus in all four areas. It is rewarding to see how far the sport has advanced in China in such a short time. In most new breeds it takes about 20 years until they establish some uniformity of type. Here in China in just twenty years they established the sport in many wonderful areas. In several breeds they are probably breeding dogs better than any other country. As a fancier of the sport, it is very rewarding to see the sport has come so far in China in such a short time.
