D 2013 EDITORIAL AS THE COUNTRY HAS BECOME MORE AND MORE URBAN so has the dog become more and more of an urban species. Even in the suburbs it is fairly safe to say that conˇnements for dogs are now considered necessary as the dog has become a staple as a part of the house if not the bed itself. These intimate arrangements between dog and owner can give rise to sort of a canine identity crisis which then overˇows into other aspects of society as well. Many of the traditional social breakdowns which individuals are faced with in their lives seem to coincide with not only the growth in the dog population but in the values which people place on their dogs psychologically and ˇnancially. Some go as far as to offer proof of the health beneˇts of dog ownership to the point of making the animal a panacea as an all-round stress reducer which in many instances it (oops, we mean he or she) may so act. Whether or not one consciously believes a dog is a person is secondary to the fact that all too many people treat their pets as though they are one. According to a recent study concerning the important social-bonding hormone Oxytocin it was concluded that its

now seems to have been replaced with the need to provide companionship or social support on its part. Of course that does not mean that all dogs and all people fall into the above mentioned categories. Factually and fortunately there are a large number of people who use their dogs for their original purposes and also have expanded their interests to include agility and rally events. The conformation world is unique in that most people who travel on the dog show circuit use their dogs for a multitude of purposes which include both work and companion type events. It is the single pet owner who seems to fall into the trap of overly humanizing the dog and who encourages the extremists within the animal rights movement. One of the problems today is that these type movements have become magnets for monied activists who mistakenly think they are supporting the ìgood causeî when in fact they are not! We must positively and aggressively get our message out to the public at large and encourage them to join us in our endeavors to promote not only the health and welfare of the dog but the right to breed our dogs and the right to own them as well.

The relationship between man and his ìbest friendîóthe dog has become increasingly confused in American society lndeed all too often the dog is considered more of a human being today; certainly more so than the worker of the past. presence between mother and child relates to just about any interaction involving pair bonding, social afˇliation and trust.

Researchers at Azabu University in Japan recently found that the dogís gaze at its owner increases the ownerís oxytocin level.

We appreciate the exhibitors, judges, our many sponsors, the Convention Center staff, and spectators who came together to make this another successful event.

efore a full house at the Orange County Convention Center Sunday night, AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship Best in Show honors went to GCH CH Afterall Painting the Sky, the Wire Fox Terrier owned by Victor Malzoni Jr. and Torie Steele with co-owners Scott and Mary Olund and Diane Ryan. GCH Protocol’s Veni Vidi Vici, a Doberman Pinscher handled by breeder/owner Jocelyn Mullins was awarded Best Bred-By-Exhibitor in Show, edging out more than 1,200 dogs representing 29 percent of the total competitors entered in the “Bred-By Exhibitor” competition. “Fiﬁ” is owned by Jocelyn & Kevin Mullins and Suzy & Dick Lundy. For a full list of winners and photo coverage, visit www.akc.org/invitational. Video highlights from the daytime Best of Breed judging and the Bred-By-Exhibitor groups are available online at http://bit.ly/13DCHwO. In addition to the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, the Eukanuba World Challenge, AKC Agility Invitational, AKC National Obedience Invitational, Junior events in conformation, obedience and agility, Miscellaneous competition and the Orlando cluster shows were also held, for a total of 15,500 combined entries over the ﬁve days. Other important features that added to our theme of “Celebrate Dogs!” were AKC Meet the Breeds®, the Dock Diving Dogs, an AKC Judges Institute and a host of special attractions that comprised the Eukanuba Fun Zone. We’re pleased to announce that the 13th annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship will be in Orlando, Fla. on Saturday, Dec. 14 and Sunday, Dec. 15, 2013. After two years in the East/West building, the 2013 event will move to the Orange County Convention Center’s North/ South building, where it will remain for the next three years. With the sheer scope of the event itself growing each year, 2013’s footprint will expand to cover nearly one million square feet in this newer addition of the convention center

The event will once again showcase AKCregistered and international dogs, and offer entry to class dogs in an open show format. Popular attractions such as the Best Bred-byExhibitor competition, AKC Meet the Breeds® and the seventh Eukanuba World Challenge will also return, and the Brevard Kennel Club, the Central Florida Kennel Club and the Space Coast Kennel Club of Palm Bay shows will precede the AKC/Eukanuba National Championship at the same site on Dec. 11-13, 2013. New for 2013 will be the inaugural AKC National Owner-Handler Series (NOHS) endof-year competition.

For more about the AKC National Owner-Handler Series, visit http:// classic.akc.org/ohs/index.cfm. We’ll also welcome three new breeds to the National Championship for the ﬁrst time – the Portuguese Podengo Pequeno in the Hound Group, the Chinook in the Working Group and the Rat Terrier in the Terrier group. The Portuguese Podengo Pequeno and the Chinook became fully recognized by the AKC in January, while the Rat Terrier will move out of the Miscellaneous class later this year. The AKC Agility Invitational will again be held in conjunction with the 2013 event, along with a new obedience competition – the AKC Obedience Classic. The new competition will crown the top dogs for the year in the Novice, Open and Utility classes. The AKC Juniors Agility Competition and the AKC National Juniors Obedience Competition will continue to be held with these events in December.

Its capital and largest city is Warsaw. The country covers an area of 120,606,41 sq mi, and the population is of 38,5011,000 (2011 census). Poland is about the size of USA’s New Mexico. The former pagan country adopted Christianity in 966 A.D. when Prince Mieszko I was baptized. In 1024 the country became part of Western Europe as an independent kingdom which the Piast Dynasty, (descendants of Mieszko), ruled until 1370 instituting social reform, rebuilding Poland, and establishing a democratic government with a Parliament. In 1385 Poland was united to Lithuania when Wladyslaw Jagiello, the Lithuanian prince, accepted Christianity, and married a Polish queen, becoming the King of Poland. In 1410 under the Jagiellonian Dynasty, Poland’s political position was strengthened in Europe, and this period became known as the “Golden Age.” The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth was based on religious tolerance and mutual respect for different customs.

In keeping with the desire for creature comforts, my goose hunting blind now is a fake hay bale that stops the wind, has a carpeted ﬂoor for the dog and contains a padded swivel chair for the hunter along with several pockets for a thermos, ammo and a place to stand the shotgun when the bird action is slow.

When I returned from my last goose hunting trip, it took a full day to unpack and stow all the gear that went along on the trip. As I surveyed the mound of equipment, only slightly less lofty than, say, Mt. McKinley, it dawned on me that I’d come a long way from the light traveler that I once was. CONTINUED ON PAGE 56

sial checks at its ﬂagship show, the show that attracts more media attention than any other in the UK, it was considered by many to be merely a publicity stunt and something that was being done to appease outside critics of the dog show fraternity rather than a genuine attempt to improve the widespread health across the breeds. With hindsight I don’t think that anyone actually contemplated any of the BOB winners failing what everyone had been told repeatedly would be nothing more than a visual and hands-on examination.

S THE SHOW GOT UNDERWAY RUMOURS abounded until facts were made public and it then became apparent that the Pekingese BOB had failed to satisfy the vet, ironically a dog bred by the same breeders who produced the 2012 Westminster BIS winner, and judged by Bert Easdon whose Yakee kennel has been responsible for so many top winners internationally. Later in the day one of the country’s top winning Bulldogs suffered the same fate, having been sent forward by Pat Perkins, another revered specialist. Disbelief amongst exhibitors soon turned to hostility. The second day of the show began in an understandably sombre mood and justifiably so as later in the day the Clumber Spaniel BOB winner also failed the vet check. Not only was the winning bitch a Champion in umpteen countries throughout Europe and also the USA, she had won the breed at Crufts under Ferelith Somerfield, who is acknowledged as being one of the most conscientious and dedicated judges in the world. Come Saturday, there was a tragic feeling of inevitability around the rings of the breeds that were being targeted and on that day both the Mastiff (judged by specialist Sarah Windham) and the Neapolitan Mastiff (judged by KC General Committee member Jeff Horswell) fell foul of the vets. On the final day of the show, by which time the entire dog world was in a state of shock, the Basset Hound BOB winner became the final victim, this time being sent forward by this country’s only all-breeds judge, Zena Thorn Andrews. The backlash to the vet checks and what was seen as an intolerable undermining of not only the whole judging process but also some of our top judges was that a Facebook group was set up and, to spare you the rhetoric that has been covered many times before, on the Thursday following – just four days after Crufts closed – 320 people turned up at a meeting held at the Motorcycle Museum, just minutes away from the NEC Crufts venue, to voice their disapproval. Of these more than 20% were Kennel Club members and more than 30% members of the Kennel Club’s Assured Breeders Scheme. The outcome of that meeting was the formation of The Canine Alliance, an organisation that was formed to give those people voices who feel they have none where the KC is concerned. The Alliance now has more members than the Kennel Club itself. At first, the Kennel Club and particularly its Chairman, seemed reluctant to acknowledge the very existence of The Alliance but more recently it has invited The Alliance to present its proposals which would basically replace the current vet checks with more widespread and meaningful health checks. Time will tell how responsive they will be. Now to happier topics, and primarily the beautiful dogs

that have graced our show rings this year in the race for Top Dog. This year has been a particularly pleasurable one as far as the Dog of the Year competition goes for various reasons and when you hear what allegedly goes on in other countries to get to the top of the pile, it is perhaps to our advantage that we Brits still pride ourselves on our amateur status. Throughout the year the camaraderie that has existed between the frontrunners has been very evident and sportsmanship has been of the best in our big rings. Furthermore many of our top dogs this year have been owned and handled by relatively young people, in several cases those who started their canine lives as junior handlers and have thankfully stuck with the sport. This has to be encouraging and it is a trend that we can only hope and pray continues. By the time October was through CONTINUED ON PAGE 40

IN REVIEW THE DOG NEWS ANNUAL â&#x20AC;˘ 39

THE UK IN REVIEW CONTINUED FROM PAGE 34

our Dog of the Year was unassailable. To American eyes winning the title with 185 points (compared to the telephone numbers of the USA rankings) might seem laughable, but our league table is based purely on points won for a Challenge Certiﬁcate, a BOB when CCs are on offer, a group placing 1-4, BIS and Reserve BIS. When you realise that the maximum number of points a dog can win for BIS is 13 and the relatively small number of general Championship shows held in the UK, the score is quite impressive. So which dog has coasted through to the Dog of the Year title, along the way winning 18 out of the 27 Hound groups available?

T CRUFTS IN 2011 A VERY YOUNG PETIT BASSET Griffon Vendeen bitch named Soletrader Peek A Boo leapt into the limelight when she won Reserve BIS following her second CC, her ﬁrst having been won as a puppy. That year she ended up as the country’s top hound and became a BIS winner, also taking the supreme award at the prestigious Houndshow where I had the privilege to judge Best. This year she has had a storming career adding another six all breed BISs to her record and again triumphing at the Houndshow. Jilly – as she is known universally – has been a darling of the ringside throughout her career, not just for her breed excellence but her charismatic and extrovert personality. She has further been supported and admired by her closest rivals, a remarkable and rare achievement. A few years ago when judging in Holland I awarded BIS to a young PBGV male, Cappuccino v Tum Tums Vriendjes, whose carriage and movement made a huge impression on me. I remarked at the time to his owner, breeder and handler that this was Dog of the Year material. I think Gwen Huikeshoven was a little sceptical as at the time she seemed much more preoccupied with the Grand with which she was winning everything in sight. However, with a campaign of just a few months it was indeed Cappuccino who won Dog of the Year in Holland. Although bred by Gwen – who has been phenomenally successful with both the Vendeen breeds – Cappuccino was bred from two Soletrader parents, this being the kennel name of Gavin and Sara Robertson, both of whom were very successful junior handlers in the UK. (Some American readers may well remember Gavin’s stay at Bryan and Nancy Martin’s kennel where he doubtless learnt a lot.) Cappuccino came to the UK for a brief campaign during which time he won his title with ease along with groups and Reserve BIS. More importantly he was bred to the PBGV CC record holder, Ch Soletrader My Aphrodisiac, sister to Cappuccino’s dam. The result of that union was Jilly. She is actually owned by Sara and Canadian Wendy Doherty but has generally been handled by Gavin. As an indication of the success this young couple have achieved in their breeds, on the day that Peter Green no less awarded Jilly BIS at his home show in South Wales, another Soletrader won BIS at two of Europe’s most signiﬁcant shows, another won BIS in the USA and Sara took BIS at the Basset Fauve de Bretagne specialty here in the UK. It is unlikely they will ever repeat a weekend like that!

OT ON JILLY’S HEELS HAS BEEN THE BLACK Toy Poodle male, Ch Vanitonia You’ll See, another owned and bred by two former junior handlers, Lee Cox and Tom Isherwood, who previously enjoyed a truly surreal year when they piloted the incredible Chinese Crested bitch, Nora, to take Dog of the Year. Graham (named in memory of one of the Vanitonia kennel’s founders, Graham Thompson) was in the top ten last year but this year he increased his tally of BIS wins to eight. The kennel has not merely devoted its activities to Poodles as they have also titled Champions in their other two great interests, Clumber Spaniels and Chinese Cresteds. He is the nation’s Top Utility breed. Third in the rankings and Top Gundog (Sporting) for the second year running is the extrovert Irish Water Spaniel imported from the USA, Ch & Am, Ch Whistle Stop’s Elements of Magic. He has now won four all breed Bests CONTINUED ON PAGE 44

as well as taking the top spot at all of the major Gundog group shows. He comes from a remarkable litter as he has a sister in Scandinavia who thrilled me when I judged her in Denmark and subsequently won the Bitch CC opposite Merlin at Crufts last year, and there are at least two titled littermates in the USA. His owner, Judith Carruthers, has won BIS All Breeds for three consecutive years as Merlin’s wins were preceded by those of a home bred bitch. Lying fourth is the Top Toy, Philip Martin’s Pekingese, Ch Yakee Ooh Aah Cantona, usually handled by co-breeder Bert Easdon, a grandson of the partnership’s Crufts BIS winner. Eric is living proof that the Kennel Club’s vet checks are utterly pointless as he – by virtue of winning BOB – has now been checked sixteen times (and passed). What that tells either the Kennel Club or the veterinary profession about the state of the health of Pekingese in general remains a mystery. Fifth is the Top Terrier, Lesley Crawley and Matthew Oddie’s Norwich, Ch Ragus Merry Gentleman, who had already won a group as a puppy under specialist Martin Phillips when he went to Crufts where he was Peter Green’s choice as BOB, later going on to win his second group. Lesley is of course a third-generation dog person as her mother was the unforgettable Marjorie Bunting whose own mother founded the Ragus kennel. Standing sixth is another Toy dog, David Reece’s homebred extrovert Smoothcoat Chihuahua bitch, Ch Copymear Celebration, who is a BIS winner – the first of her sex in his breed to ever take such a win. She won four CCs as a puppy before being able to claim her title with the fifth, won after her first birthday. Number Seven in the all breeds table is another Gundog, this time a Labrador and just like the Top Gundog an import from the USA. Sh Ch, Am & Can Ch Salty Dog of Tampa Bay was not a young dog when he first arrived in the UK, having been spotted by Anthony Allen when he was in the USA. He had won BOB at Westminster when the UK’s Valerie Foss judged the breed and had won many groups and Bests in his home country where he is owned and bred by Linda Hess. Salty won several groups in the UK and returned home last year in time to compete at the AKC National Championship in Orlando where Anthony handled him to win the breed under Australian Labrador guru Guy Spagnolo. Anthony is yet another second generation enthusiast.

FURTHER AMERICAN INVADER CAME IN at eighth in the league, another terrier in the form of the Irish bitch, Ch Fleet St Fire and Ice, who is half-sister to Fenway Fan who was last year’s Top Terrier. Owned by Tony and Jean Barker (Tony being another whose mother was highly successful in dogs, in this case Wendy Barker of the Chilka Boston Terriers and Whippets) and John Averis (grandson of terrier wizard Les Atkinson) who has handled both these Irish, they were bred by R. C. Carusi, Shari BoydCarusi and Stan Wojewodski. One of her more signiﬁcant group wins came at Midland Counties where the judge was Ann Ingram, herself a native of Ireland. Joint eighth was a Dalmatian, Ch Offordale Chevalier, owned and bred by Jenifer Alexander who drove all the way to Norway to use the stud dog of her choice on one of

her favourite Champion bitches. The result was not only Chevalier, but his Champion litter sister and both of them competed at last year’s Eukanuba Champion Stakes Finals. Both of them are group winners. In tenth position is a breed that we seldom see this high in the rankings, and the achievement is a rather poignant one. The King Charles (English Toy) Spaniel male, Ch Maibee Theo, was bred by Shealagh Waters – who recently died tragically young - in partnership with Joyce Robbins and he has continued to be shown in the ownership of Joyce and Shealagh’s widower Bill Moffat. He has dominated the breed this year and is a dual group winner. The two other group leaders who just missed out being in the top ten are the Australian Shepherd, Ch Allmark Fifth Avenue, whose group winning dam was sent to the USA to be mated, and the Bouvier des Flandres, Ch & Dutch Ch I’m Special Inessence Movado at Kanix, who is a USA Import. The Bouvier highlights yet another case of British “rules” that foreign observers have great problems understanding. At dog shows in the UK where the public pays an admission fee, legally docked dogs are not allowed to be shown. Where there is free admission docked dogs can compete. This means that many successful dogs cannot compete at Crufts as spectators must pay to attend. To this day I have yet to have it explained to me, but I suppose it is this unusual quirkiness that makes the Brits so interesting to some foreigners! 롦

Ottoman Turks causing the loss of some of the countries’ territory which losses resulted in the devastation of towns and villages when thousands of Polish people were killed. On May 3, 1791 the government was reorganized, the religious freedom was provided, and the government provided rights to the population, executive powers were given to the King and to Council which consisted of a Premier and his ministers. The decline started with the aggression of Russia, Prussia and Austria because Poland, with its traditions of tolerance and freedom, was considered politically dangerous. The winning monarchies divided the area of Poland among themselves so Poland disappeared from the map of Europe for almost 125 years. The country regained freedom in 1918 at the end of World War I, and its Parliamentary democracy lasted from 1919 to 1935. In September, 1939, Poland was the first to suffer the attack of Hitler’s Army from the west and the Red Army from the east. After Russia and Germany occupied the country, the Polish Home Army constantly fought them. The country remained under occupation until the end of World War Il. During WWII German forces, under direct order from Adolf Hitler, set up six major extermination camps, all of which were established on Polish territory including the notorious Treblinka and Auschwitz camps. About 90% of Poland’s Israelites were killed. What became known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19, 1943 when the Nazis set about liquidating the Ghetto but the two columns of German and Ukrainian troops were forced to retreat. The fighting continued until May 8, when the ghetto’s leader Anielewicz and 100 of his men were surrounded at Mila st.18* and chose to die at their own hand rather than surrender to the Nazis*. On July 22, 1944, the Soviet Union established a Communist controlled government, and in Lublin on August I, 1944 an uprising broke out as an attempt to free Warsaw from Russians under the leadership of the Home Army, who expected to win full independence for Poland and establish a new government, however the uprising failed. Poland remained under Communist control until August 31, 1980, when striking workers, led by Lech Walesa, negotiated an agreement guaranteeing their right to form independent trade unions. The national union movement, “Solidarity,” followed the signing of the Agreement, and the rapid deterioration of the Communist Party began. In 1990 the Communist Party dissolved and new parliamentary elections were held. Poland became a member of NATO, (March 12th 1999), and in May of 2004 become a member of the European Union. Poland’s rich history has many great personalities who definitively contributed to turn the world a better place to live. I have counted hundreds of prominent personages but certainly must point out some as Nicholas Copernicus the Polish astronomer (1473-1543). Before his time, people believed that in the solar system the Earth was the center of the universe.

In 1543 Copernicus started a scientific revolution publishing the theory in which all the planets, including Earth, revolved around the sun. Madame Curie, Maria Salomea Skłodowska, known for her research on radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the only woman to win in multiple sciences. The first chemical element that she discovered - polonium, which she isolated in 1898 named after her native country. Pope John Paul II - Karol Józef Wojtyła - the Polish Pope reined the Catholic Church from 1978 until his death in 2005. He was the second-longest serving Pope in history and the first non-Italian since 1523. A very charismatic figure, John Paul II was rightfully acclaimed as one of the most influential leaders of the 20th century. Frederic François Chopin, (Fryderyk Franciszek Chopin - 1810-1849), Polish composer and virtuoso pianist was one of the great masters of Romantic Music. His sonatas, scherzos, ballades, polonaises, mazurkas, and nocturnes have cemented a solid place in the world of music, and are well known around the whole world.

His father Bolesław was arrested by the Nazis months before Lech was born and thrown into the concentration camp at Mlyniec. Ignacy Jan Paderewski: pianist, composer, diplomat, politician, and second Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland. In 1922 retired from politics, and returned to his musical life.

Władysław Szpilman, concertist and subject of Roman Polanski’s film “The Pianist”, Polanski himself a Polish film director is also known for Rosemary’s Baby, Chinatown and other movies. Israel’s Prime Ministers born in Poland were Menachem Begin (Nobel prize laureate), David BenGurion, Shimon Peres (prime minister, president, and Nobel Prize laureate), Yitzhak Shamir, Yitzhak Rabin (Nobel prize laureate), and the present Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose father was born in Poland. There are a total of fifteen Nobel Prize winning Polish individuals. From this country originates beside the famous individuals, the pierogi, and Polish sausage, the Chart Polski, my Rare Dog Breed of today. The turbulence in Poland, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, almost decimated the breed, and only a small number of dogs survived. Originally the Chart Polski’s (Polish sight hound) ancestors were used to hunt hare, fox, deer, and wolves, and the first written references date back to 1600. Around 1980 a group of Polish fanciers initiated a serious work to revive the breed, and produced the written standard based on depictions of the dog by such 19th-century Polish painters as Juliusz Kossak (1824-1899), Jozef Brandt (1841-1915), and Alfred WieruszKowalski(1849-1915). The work based on the paintings and a small group of survivor dogs were the source of the rebirth of Polish Sight hound, and serious breeders recommend some specific care regarding the proper

selection. In fact The Chart Polski is typically a healthy dog, but as other breeds he is at risk for certain forms of cancer and cardiomyopathy. It’s important to take any dog for annual heart exams. No Chart Polski should be bred until a board-certified veterinary cardiologist performs a comprehensive heart evaluation. The Chart Polski, like many of the large breeds, is also susceptible to bloat. It is recommended to protect the dog from one of the most common health problems: obesity, so the Chart Polanski should be controlled, and kept at an appropriate weight. The Polish hound is a dog of great size, powerful, muscular, definitely stronger and less fine in shape than the other short-haired sight hounds (however he must not be heavy or lethargic). In appearance he is close to his ancestor the Asiatic greyhound. The strong frame, the concise structure of the body, the distinct musculature and the powerful jaws show that this dog has been used in the difficult conditions of the Polish climate for hunting not only the hare, fox, and deer, but also the wolf. The expressive eyes, with a lively and penetrating look, play an important role in the general aspect of the Polish hound. They can be very good guard dogs in the home creating strong bonds with their owners; in some, this instinct is so strong that will not accept strangers coming into the home. They enjoy a good exercise regimen, walking them daily is a very good way to do this. This dog loves to run of course, and if they can no longer be used for actual hunting, (many locations prohibit this) then a decent facsimile would be participating in the performance sports like coursing and racing. Between running activities, they like nothing better than lounging on the couch or bed. They are obedient and easy to train, although they can be stubborn and willful. This is not the best breed for the novice dog owner. They need early socialization and firm, fair guidance from their owners. (From the Standard). The Kennel Club of Poland, the Federation Cynologique Internationale, FCI-Standard N° 333 / 01.10.1999 / GB, and the United Kennel Club have all recognized the breed, but it’s rare to find these dogs outside of Poland. *Mila 18 by Leon Uris is an enlightening book about this history, as well as the film “The Pianist” which also recounts the Warsaw ghetto’s upraising.

How Much Gear Do You Really Need? CONTINUED FROM PAGE 30

There Was A Time In My Life With Dogs and as a hunter,

admittedly a goodly number of years ago, when I could pack for and unpack from a several day hunting trip in a half hour or less. A change of clothes, a couple of sets of clean socks and skivvies, a few boxes of shotgun shells and an extra shotgun, some foul weather gear and food and water for the dog were all that was needed. Anything that didn’t fit in a small duffle or behind the truck seat other than the dog stayed home. You’ll note that “dog” is singular. It was not to remain in that form. This minimalist attitude toward packing also extended to trips to dog shows, field trials and other doggy events and it may have been a reflection of lessons learned during my immediate post-university years when I collected a paycheck from Uncle Sam. More than once my presence was required on the West Coast when at the time I happened to be on the East Coast or vice versa and there was always little advance warning. It was not only necessary, in those situations, to pack light but you had to be downright chary about accumulating anything but the barest of minimums. This meant that The duffle contains in my early days as a participant in dog events or two beeper collars on a hunt, when it rained or snowed and I didn’t despite the fact that have the right gear with arthritic knees have me, I got wet.

The result is that when everything that I firmly believed I absolutely must have is gathered together, the sheer volume of stuff I own that’s connected with dog ownership, dog events or hunting is simply staggering. It’s true that almost everyone who does All the anything with dogs suffers, in varying degrees, Deadfowl from the accumulation of too much stuff.

How Much Gear Do You Really Need? CONTINUED FROM PAGE 56

there are a few dog people and perhaps even a few bird and small game hunters who still adhere to the barely-enough-to-get-by school. However, for every one of these lean travelers, there are at least ten others who can’t go to an event or to a hunting spot that’s a mere half hour away from their homes without taking along a small mountain of equipment and enough food to satisfy the entire 3,200 members of the ship’s company and the nearly 2,500 people in the air wing of a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Not only do I believe I occupy the middle ground in the stuff department there are even times when I’m downright stingy in the amount of gear I want to haul. Let’s take, for example, goose decoys. Between my brother and I, we own at least 350 goose decoys. A few years ago, I came to the conclusion that we had way too many decoys and 50 of those in any one decoy set was plenty. My brother, on the other hand, would suffer an anxiety attack if a single one of those 350 decoys was not on the field on every hunt. On those exceedingly rare occasions when the rapid approach of daylight or weather conditions have made it impossible to get all of the decoys set out, if the hunt turned out to be less than spectacular, the blame in his view always rested with the failure to have the proper number of decoys in the spread. Even when the fog was so thick that you couldn’t see the closest line of decoys let alone the entire spread and for that matter, neither could any geese brave enough or foolish enough or hungry enough to venture off the river in those conditions, he was and is firmly convinced that it was the lack of sufficient decoy numbers that kept us from limiting out. Of course, this need to have every decoy we own on the field for every hunt is in keeping with his penchant for planning those hunts. If all of the invasion plans made by

Several blankets and towels for the dogs to dry and warm them when they make water retrieves in frigid weather are also stuffed into any available space.

just a few of the more than 350 goose decoys needed to prevent brotherly anxiety attacks are visible behind the dog.

Admiral Chester Nimitz and his staff for all the islands in the Pacific on which United States Marines, Sailors and Soldiers fought during WWII were accumulated in one gigantic notebook, it would still be dwarfed by the pages of plans he makes for each and every hunting trip so it’s probably not surprising that we own virtually every piece of goose and duck hunting gear known to man. A hunting partner of a few years past had even more stuff than we do. He drove a super-sized truck loaded with luggage racks and towed an equally large trailer fitted from front to back with shelves, all of which were loaded with gear. While a single back-up for all systems on Apollo 11 was good enough to get Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins to the moon and back, it’s this guy’s firm belief that if one spare provides security, six or eight spares might just be enough to save the day. But, he’s a paragon of restraint compared to a fellow I used to encounter on a regular basis at hunt tests. Not only did this guy have an incredible array of dog training equipment but he usually also toted enough food along to these weekend events to stock an Army field kitchen that was charged with providing three hot meals a day to a full regiment engaged in a week-long set of war games on the Aleutian Islands in January. His RV is the only one I’ve ever encountered that housed a fully-equipped commercial kitchen. Compared to these guys, I still qualify as a light traveler. But, I have to confess that when I look into the back of the truck and then have to look again to make sure the dogs are in their crates or even in the truck at all, the thought enters my mind that I might just have a few too many items in my dog stuff inventory. For one thing, you’ll note that the word “dog” is now plural. At the moment, I only have a pair but with any luck at all, in the next few months that number will be augmented by a new pup. Not that either of my girls are getting on in years and need replacing because they’re only five. But, three dogs just seems like the right number although in the not-too-distant future that number could easily reach five as I’ve agreed to dogsit a friend’s two retired Greyhounds while he heads off for seven weeks of training at the Navy’s Chaplain School in South Carolina. No doubt this will occur in the dead of winter which means he’ll be basking in relative comfort south of the Mason-Dixon line while his dogs and his CONTINUED ON PAGE 64

Service Dog Organizations Train Life Changing Links to the World for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing By Sharon Pflaumer efore I got Jude, my Hearing Dog, I felt vulnerable and isolated because I missed a lot of sounds. At work, I was unaware of people talking to me when they approached my cubicle. At home, I rarely turned on the radio or TV. If I did, I wouldn’t hear the phone, doorbell or emergency sirens. Because I take my hearing aids out when I go to bed, I wouldn’t know there was a bad storm over night until I tried to drive out of the neighborhood the next day and encountered deep snow or tree branches blocking the road,” Bev Ziarko says. Her hearing was damaged by otosclerosis, when she was 21, and has continued to deteriorate since then. She lives in Seattle, WA. The 3-1/2-year-old terrier mix not only lets Ziarko know when there are sounds she needs to hear, but also has become her social connection to the world. “When I walk Jude, people are so impressed by her behavior I’m often stopped and engaged in conversation. I had become quite introverted because of my deafness. Jude enables me to be more social.”

dogsitter are freezing their collective tails off many states north of that same demarcation. In practical terms, his departure for SC means that all his dog stuff will also be stashed somewhere on the few inches of space available on the shelving where mine resides which means it’s going to be a tight squeeze indeed. Let’s just examine, for example, the bag that holds my canine first aid kit. A physician I know who was part of the surgical team in a Navy field hospital in Iraq that treated wounded from the battle for Fallujah looked at my bag not long ago and said, in a wistful tone, that he would have liked to have had half of that equipment available for his operating room during the battle. I tell myself that it’s only that I want to be sure I’m prepared for emergencies but the reality is that the bag contains enough gauze, tape, hemostats, forceps, scissors, dressings, suture material, antibiotics in both pill and ointment form, Vetrap, cold packs, saline, eye ointment and syringes to adequately stock most veterinary clinics. Another duffle holds four electronic collars, which means I have two more collars than dogs at the moment. It also contains a pair of beeper collars despite the fact that arthritic knees have dictated that they are no longer willing to withstand the stress of hunting upland game without extracting an exceedingly painful price and thus when the last Brittany departed for that great quail covert in the sky, she was not replaced by another. There are, in addition to the collars, bird launchers and other electronic accessories that are so sophisticated that they put the avionics selected for the proposed new F-35 fighter jet to shame. Whistles sporting a variety of pitches dangle on their lanyards from hooks in the truck’s topper along with short and long leads for both show and field and check cords of varying lengths and colors. There are bags containing bottles of bird scent and bottles for water, leather collars and show collars, dog brushes and combs and, of course, several boxes of treats in a wide variety of flavors suitable for a even wider range of activities from the show ring to performance events to field work. In the truck bed, surrounding the dog crates are spare pillows for the crates in case the ones in the crates get wet. Several blankets and towels for the dogs to dry and warm them when they make water retrieves in frigid weather are also stuffed into any available space along with neoprene vests for the dogs to wear while making those retrieves in cold water. The crates themselves are covered with bulky insulated covers and the pockets in these covers are filled with dummies and training pistols and blank ammunition for those pistols. Riding on top of the crates are all the Deadfowl dummies.

The back seat of the truck has at least two pair of waders, vests and hunting coats for a wide variety of weather conditions and game bags that are filled with other items. The ammunition box is crammed with knives, bird cleaning equipment and enough shells to provide the average Navy SEAL team with plenty of firepower to prevail in even the most wicked firefight against a suicidal enemy. A dozen different bird calls dangle on lanyards from the rear view mirror and the glove compartment is jammed with the various official papers, certificates and passports necessary to get both the canine and human occupants of the truck into and out of the country. All of this stuff makes the person who once traveled light nothing more than a distant memory. Now there’s no right or wrong to this business of how much gear do you really need. It’s a matter of style. A minimalist would look at my truck and in total disgust say, “I don’t own that much junk let alone travel with all that crap.” The maximalist, on the other hand, would look in the truck and in an appalled tone wonder, “How can you possibly survive in the field or at any dog event with so little?” While I may still think of myself as the no-frills dog person I once was, the truth is that somewhere along the way, the philosophy of a long-time hunting partner of mine about shotguns which he expressed in a single, terse sentence— ”You can never have too many There are bags shotguns”—appears to have containing bottles metastasized to every aspect of bird scent and of the gear needed for dog bottles for water, training, dog events and for leather collars and hunting as well as the number show collars, dog of dogs necessary to complete brushes and combs those missions. Whenever I’m and, of course, several seized by a desire to trim my boxes of treats in a wide variety of gear inventories back to the flavors suitable for basics and once again become an even wider range the lean traveler of long ago, of activities from my body reminds me that the show ring to creature comforts are vastly performance events more important to it now than to field work. they were 30 years ago and my mind tells me that the same is probably true of the dogs, no matter what their age. So, it appears I’m destined to continue buying bigger trucks and making yearly additions to the available storage space because the thought of being wet or freezing or without the necessary gadget to ease the work load to accomplish whatever it is that the dogs and I are trying to do has become unthinkable. Getting older does have its benefits and one of them is the wisdom to know that taking advantage of every possible means to make life easier and more pleasant for both yourself and the dogs in pursuit of the activities you do together is just simply the right thing to do. 롦

Frederick Thomas Daws

and his art

THE DOG NEWS ANNUAL • 78

By Nick Waters

rederick Thomas Daws was arguably the most versatile of all the 20th century artists who specialised in portraying man’s best friend. Until a chance meeting with a distant relative some while back, little was known about him other than he was born in 1878, studied at Lambeth School of Art and lived for a while at Beckenham in Kent. Even Royal Doulton, who he worked extensively for in the 1930s, have no information about him in their archives. In the 1901 census he was listed as an ‘Artist and Art Illustrator’, ten years later as an ‘Artist (Painter)’ and in Kelly’s Kent Directory 1913 he is listed as an ‘Artist (R.A.) and Sculptor’. Although he exhibited at the Royal Academy – his ﬁrst picture was in 1896 when he was just eighteen and titled ‘Companions in Trouble’ - he was never elected a Royal Academician.

MY WORK WITH CANCER DETECTION DOGS began in 2003. Since 1995, I’d trained in agility, obedience, search and rescue, and made my living doing pet dog training and boarding. I saw an article in a magazine about a cancer detection study that was happening in northern California. My heart skipped a beat, and I knew I had to be a part of it. A few weeks later, I got in my car and spent the next month or so helping to train, handle, and learn about cancer snifﬁng dogs. My mother, at the time, was struggling with breast cancer that was found in it’s latter stages. Between my love of dogs and my mother having cancer, this became my purpose and life’s work. The 2003 study was a 12-week look at the diagnostic accuracy of canine scent detection in early and late stage lung and breast cancer. The dogs (all ﬁve of them) were able to detect cancer with 98% accuracy. Not only could the dogs detect cancer, the but they could also discriminate cancer from healthy controls and also disease controls. In medicine, you don’t hear numbers like “98%” for the accuracy of anything. I was seeing it happen, and I couldn’t believe my eyes. The dogs are trained on breath samples from cancer patients, which are collected in plastic tubes with polypropylene wool inside. The tubes actually collect molecules from inside the human body. The dogs are actually smelling the cells, gasses, vapors, and many different volatile organic com-

pounds that are found within the breath condensate. Breath is not just air, it’s actually a bodily fluid. We used a clicker to mark the moment that each dog sniffed his first cancer sample. Cancer equals reward. It’s extremely important in the early training to use many different samples, so the dogs could generalize the cancer scent. In explosives or narcotics detection, it’s easy to isolate the single target odor for the dog. The dog is introduced to the substance, rewarded, and then the handler can begin to “hide” the substance in suitcases full of other things, boxes, underground, etc. In cancer detection, things are quite the opposite. In one exhaled breath condensate sample, there are literally thousands of volatile organic compounds, gasses, and smells. How then, can we isolate the correct scent for the dog? We can’t. Each sample contains clues from toothpaste to the last meal the person ate, his age, his general health, ethnicity, and other possible diseases. Cancer, or the gas that cancer may give off, is only one of the many things within the breath. The best way to teach the target odor to the dog is to have a large library of cancer samples. The larger, the better. We train the dogs on so many different cancer samples until the only common denominator is the cancer scent itself. If a trainer only had five cancer samples, for example, then he’d really be training the dogs to find 5 specific peoples breath, but not cancer. It’s easy for a dog to “memorize” breath samples. By using the same 5 samples over and over again for several weeks, a dog would not be able to alert on a new cancer sample. The key to successful cancer detection training is to have a large enough number of different samples, to swap them out often, and to know when to move on. Moving on involves introducing breath from healthy people, and also introducing breath from people with diseases other than cancer. By the time you introduce healthy breath controls and disease controls, the dogs should have no problem ignoring them. If the dog shows interest in the new healthy controls, this means he did not learn his target odor of cancer. If the dog shows interest in the disease controls, he also did not learn his target scent. A good trainer knows when to introduce the curve balls, when to hold back or repeat, and when to stop. As soon as the dogs have been introduced to a large body of samples, we begin to train them to alert on the correct sample. Some bark at the sample, some paw at it, some lie down. I find it very important to not use the dogs’ natural alert. A natural alert is something that the dog does easily when he’s excited about finding his target odor. Usually, the dog will begin to paw, bark, or exhibit some kind of signal that he’s found his target odor. When I see the dog’s natural alert, I will command him to do the opposite. If he barks, I’ll cue him to quietly lie down at the correct sample. If the dog lies down, I’ll cue him to bark. This means the dog is actually doing something he’s not naturally wanting to do, which really helps against having false positives. When a dog really wants to work, his natural alert will only hurt him, and us. Dogs get excited, very excited, to work, especially if you’ve motivated him and he’s naturally driven. An excited dog who barks a lot will tend to just run through the samples barking, and now you’re in trou-

ble. If the dog’s natural alert is to paw, when excited, he’ll tend to paw at everything… he’ll paw a little harder at the correct sample, but that’s not good enough. We proof this by training the dog to do something totally not normal for that particular dog, and then we know that when we see the alert, it’s correct. Training the opposite behavior works wonders for having an accurate, well trained scenting dog. Of course during training, we always know where the cancer samples are so that we can accurately reward the dog. The dogs caught on very quickly, and within a few weeks of training, we were able to move into double blind testing. Double blinding involved no one knowing (dog, handler, or data recorder) if there were a cancer sample present among healthy controls, or not. The data is simply recorded. Each sample is numbered, so no one but the person analyzing the data knows if the dogs are right, or wrong. We ran the dogs for 12 straight weeks, and lo and behold, they came out 98% accurate on double blind testing. We were very pleased, but not surprised. In the training phase, it’s important to “mimic” double blind test runs, in order to know when the dogs are ready for testing. We have continued training our detection dogs, set up a 501(c)3 called In Situ Foundation, and received a federal grant under Pine Street Foundation to conduct another 12- week study on ovarian cancer. Right now, we are eagerly awaiting the results. The dogs are better each time around, probably because we continue to grow as trainers. It has always been easy for the dogs, and with scent detection, it’s extremely important to let them do their work on their own. he future? In Situ’s mission is to save lives by detecting cancer early in humans, using canine scent detection. The dogs can detect in situ, or stage zero, cancer. No machine to date can detect cancer at stage zero, but our dogs can. In Situ wants to provide low or no cost screenings for the public. Right now, most people do not get regular screenings for cancer. One of the reasons is that there really aren’t any screenings for most cancers. Dogs can provide a screening method for lung, breast, ovarian, and all of the other cancers. The dogs provide a low cost, non-invasive screening, that’s 98% accurate. Sometimes mammograms produce unclear results. It’s extremely hard to detect a tumor in mammograms from women with dense breast tissue, for example, because the tissue looks white on the scan, and so does the tumor. Dogs can help clarify a mammogram that’s hard to read because of dense breast tissue. The dogs can also be used to screen people in remission. Right now, early detection is the best cure, and the dogs can provide us with that. Within the next ﬁve years, you will be seeing breath screenings available for the public. It may be a machine that eventually screens your breath, but remember, the doctors are now studying the dogs, in order to build a machine that can mimic the dog’s nose. Bravo, dogs! How you can help: if you or someone you love has cancer, please donate a breath sample to In Situ Foundation. It’s simple and easy, and it can help us save lives. We are always in need of healthy breath, as well. Go to DogsDetectCancer.org to ﬁnd out how. 롦

Bob also spent his entire life in dogs, as his father was a handler before him. His father bred a few Scotties, and took over the Ellenbert Farm Kennel of Scotties. He later added Dachshunds. Bob apprenticed under well-known breeders and handlers, Henry Stoecker and Charles Hamilton. During the summers his job was to clean and care for any puppies that were at the kennel at the time. If he did his chores well he was allowed to attend a few shows, even being allowed to show a dog once in a while. His mother always had a Peke when he was a child. During World War II he enlisted in the US Marine Corps in 1942 and was assigned to the 1st Marine War Dog Platoon after boot camp at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The war dog program at that time was made up of Doberman Pinschers and German Shepherds. It was an experimental program, which would decide if dogs would be of any value to the Marine Corps. The only experience these soldiers had was training by trial and error. From Camp Lejeune the unit was moved to Camp Pendleton, California for further training and then sent overseas to join the 2nd Raider Battalion. The team participated in landings at Bougainville, Guam and Okinawa where the dogs more than proved themselves. Their job was to lead patrols, at times behind enemy lines, to deliver messages when radios were out of order. After the war Bob managed Seafern Kennels of Poodles and the Mardomere Kennels of Whippets and Greyhounds. He opened his own kennel in 1949 and turned professional in 1950. Bob and Jane met when she was employed by Dorrik Kennels and she was invited to Mardormere to see the kennel layout. Their ﬁrst real encounter was

at a show when Bob broke up a fight in an X-pen the night before a show. As Jane relates the story, she hit him with a bucket of water from the waist down meaning to break up the fight which he had already won! After that, joining forces just “sort of happened.” Bob, Anne Rogers (Clark) and Jane just “hit it off” and became friends and rivals on the same circuits. They were known as “the combine.” Bob and Jane were married in 1967. They were the first husband and wife team to win Westminster and were also selected as winners of the Ken-L-Biskit couple of the year. Jane was chosen Kennel Review Handler of the year three times, as well as Gaines Woman of the Year four times. She was inducted into the American Boxer Hall of Fame in 2001. Bob was awarded Handler of the Year twice and the Kennel Review Best Handler award once. They were also awarded Best Technical Book (Howell Book House) for their book, Guide to Successful Dog Showing in 1975. When Bob and Jane became “The Forsyths”, they opened their own Grayarlin Kennels in Connecticut, building their client base on hard work, seven days a week. Their business focused on the presentation of well-conditioned, well–presented dogs. They were the first professional handlers to have rate cards. They took care to communicate with their clients, sending ribbons and marked sheets in the mail every Monday morning. The clients with whom they were closest throughout their careers were Mr. and Mrs. James Farrell (Foxden Fox Terriers), Mr. and Mrs. D. Hamilburg (Salgray Boxers). Bob’s relationship was particularly close to Margaret Newcombe (Pennyworth Kennels of Whippets). Jane’s relationship with Mrs. Cheever Porter was as a loyal and devoted client. Bob felt closest to Charles Hamilton and Henry Stoecker. Some of dogs which they considered the best overall dur-

ing their careers, for Jane it was Ch. Barrage of Quality Hill, a Boxer owned by Mrs. Shouse of Wolftrap Farms. He was an elegant dog with an outstanding personality. “He was a fun dog to show, never let me down, was always at the top of his game.” Bob’s choice was a Standard Poodle, Ch. Alfonco vonder Goldenkettle, imported from Germany. “He was small for a Standard and had the heart of a lion. He did not do the winning of some of the others it was my pleasure to show, but he always gave everything. His tail never stopped.” Incidentally, Bob said he hated Barrage! “When we were on the road we showed from forty to sixty dogs at all breed shows and had four to seven employees,” Bob said. “Shortly after we retired Dog News published an ad with the names of 99 people who worked for us over the years. Some of them were Robert Fisher, Robert Fowler, George Alston, Joyce McComisky, and Mark and Bonnie Threlfall. Others went on to other ﬁelds, such as show photographers or to work for AKC.” “We were not the ﬁrst to employ apprentices,” Bob said, “but today there are not that many good and successful handlers to apprentice under. There are a few, of course, and we take our hats off to them, but most apprentices today fail to understand that there is much more to it than just walking into the ring. Most fail to understand that they have to know what to do in an emergency. Heat stroke, for instance. We wonder how many know what to do in an emergency. Care of clients. Some clients have told us they have no idea how their dog had done a week after a show.” Bob noted the big

change in the show scene over the years. “We moved our rigs every evening to another show ground as there were few clusters. Most shows were held on Saturday and Sunday,” he said. “So we were home almost every Sunday night as we mainly went to shows held in the Northeast. Handlers today are on the road ﬁve or more days a week. I don’t know how the dogs can stand it. Ours were out in the paddocks on Monday and would sleep most of the day.“ We talked about the state of the profession. Both Bob and Jane said they thought they had the best of times. “Today there are too many shows being held and it has become so expensive for show giving clubs that it is very difﬁcult for them to continue. This, perhaps, is a good thing, as those that have to close up shop will help build entries in those that can continue. Fewer shows will help to elimCONTINUED ON PAGE 104

N 2012, NEW MOVIES AND books about the killing of Osama Bin Laden brought attention to the specialized, fast moving, deadly combat units of the military – and to their dogs. A Belgian Malinois named Cairo was a valuable member of Navy SEAL Team 6, who kept worried neighbors from coming near the Bin Laden compound while the SEALs were at work. But one of the most curious of the canine stories to come out of the Mideast wars is that of Fluffy, a German Shepherd trained to ﬁght with the forces of Iraq’s Saddam Hussein.

At the beginning of the war in Iraq, a twelve-man U.S. Army Special Forces unit was deployed to Mosul to unite with the Kurds. Since they were enemies of Saddam Hussein, they were excited to help the Americans who had come to ﬁght against him. Sgt. First Class Russell Joyce was in charge of securing supplies for the unit. The team had used a trained Military Working Dog for sentry duty in Afghanistan, and found him to be a useful deterrent. So when a local Kurdish leader named Kordo asked Sgt. Joyce what he needed, he told them: a police dog.

THE WAR DOG THAT SWITCHED THE DOG NEWS ANNUAL • 102

Sgt. Joyce didn’t think there was any possibility the Kurds could come up with one. Dogs are considered “haram,” unclean, and Muslim religious law forbids touching them. But several days later, two Kurdish Maslawi entered their camp holding a tightly wrapped carpet. To the soldiers’ shock, out popped a skinny, scared German Shepherd. The average German Shepherd in America weighs 75-80 pounds. This dog weighed only half that, about 36 pounds. His ribs and bone structure stood out clearly. He’d obviously been starving. He’d also been abused; there were scars over his face and front legs. He was missing his two lower canine teeth. The Kurds said they had found him chained in one of the police stations

Trained to ﬁght by the Iraqi military, “Fluffy” served with the U.S. Army - Special Forces that Saddam Hussein’s forces had abandoned. The ﬁrst night in the compound, the dog cowered in the shadows. A dog like this was not what the soldiers had in mind. Some suggested Sgt. Joyce turn him loose. The only reason Sgt. Joyce didn’t was because he wanted to maintain the good relationship with the Kurds. “Let’s give him a chance,” he said. “We can always turn him loose later.” Sgt. Joyce fed him mutton, fried

chicken and rice out of his hand, whatever he was eating, from his own plate. The dog was ravenous. And he seemed grateful, relaxing a little in Sgt. Joyce’s company. But the second night was also a disaster. When darkness fell, the dog began to bark, and he kept it up through the night. The sentry determined that a pack of stray dogs was just outside the fence. The men couldn’t sleep. In the morning, they were once again CONTINUED ON PAGE 102

inate dogs that are not really deserving of a championship title. “It is a shame that AKC has to resort to these new titles in order to stay afloat, but we guess something had to be done. However, we think a better name could have been applied to Grand Champion. We have always felt that when a dog has done all he could in the show ring it was time to enjoy life at home and not continue to be shown in order to claim just another title, that in our minds has no meaning.” They continued, saying, “There are a lot of really quality dogs out there, but not the depth we have had in the past. Perhaps because of the number of shows, the better dogs are able to avoid competing against one another most of the time. Others only compete in their own area or at Specialty shows.” We talked about judging today, compared to the past. Jane said, “It’s pretty much the same, but many shows are poorly run due to the inexperience of the Chairpersons. Overloading judges or not giving them the number of dogs they should happens quite often. I recently judged a four-day cluster that, on the fourth day, I was to do only two groups. That was an expense for the club that I am sure they could ill afford. However, facilities have come a long way. Indoor hockey rinks have mostly been replaced with air conditioned and heated buildings. Shows are no longer held on hillsides, where it was useful to have one leg shorter than the other!” Bob’s only comment is that, “I am retired. After over seventy years I felt it was time to go.” Then he continued, “I must say that I think we have produced the finest judges in the world over the years, but the progress of advancement was slow and time consuming. The judges’ committee was formed to investigate a way to identify and advance more rapidly the more qualified applicants and I think the committee has done just that. The committee is still in place and its members understand some changes have to be made. I also think that a lot of work has to be done to clarify this process, as there seems to be a lot of confusion. “The staff works well with us and is most cooperative. I wish I could say the same for some members of the Board. I believe we must find a way to ID those people that are doing a top job of judging the breeds that they first receive after going through the steps that are required, even to

“I must say that I think we have produced the ﬁnest judges in the world over the years, but the progress of advancement was slow and time consuming.”

the point of advancing those that are identified, without breed tests, interviews, etc. Letters of recommendations from judges with three groups, all-breed judges, field reps and specialty clubs should be considered. Failing to receive a passing grade in any of their provisional breeds would result in their removal.” In talking about AKC matters, Jane said, “I feel they are letting some good people go and keeping some that don’t or can’t do their job. Two steps should be taken as soon as possible. Get out of New York and go on the attack in regard to the animal rights groups that are doing us a great deal of harm. Placing ads on TV with someone like Bill Crosby who is known to the dog world would be a great help. I believe it is better to go down with a fight than to just go down. “They have taken steps to help areas hit by disasters. They have engaged in fighting bad laws that affect all of us in purebred dogs (a bit late perhaps). I’m sure they are trying hard to stay afloat and are trying to find the best people to lead us out of this, but I’m not sure it’s going to work.” We ended our conversation on a personal note. They have cut down the size of their household dogs from Pointers to a spoiled Whippet. We miss the Pointers, they said, but it was not fair to them when Bob could no longer hunt which they enjoyed so much. They also reported that golf is their main exercise. Bob plays six days a week and does the gym two or three times a week. Janie can still be found on the dog show circuits, keeping her eye on the state of the sport. 롦

National al Ch Championship hampionship About 20 years ago, in the early 90’s, the AKC put on an Invitational Show. It was held in Baltimore and some vocal delegates were critical of the way the show was organized. Instead of tweaking the show, the Board of Directors decided to not hold any more shows. The entire sport worldwide has to thank Ron Menaker for bringing the show back. From the very ﬁrst show in Orlando in 2002, it quickly rose to great prominence worldwide. It took the great vision of Ron and a large staff to bring so much detail in organizing a one of a kind event. For the last twelve years the event has continued to only get better and better each year.

by Desmond J. Murphy photos by Matthew H. Stander Several countries around the world hold their last big show of the year the same weekend, but many exhibitors from these countries choose to attend the Eukanuba show. Last year Mai Ozeki missed seeing her young Borzoi going BIS at the large show of the year in Japan since she was attending Eukanuba. So many fanciers from all over the globe come each year to the AKC/Eukanuba. It gives serious fanciers a chance to see the top dogs from every corner of the world competing. Since there are three all-breed shows preceding and the fact that Eukanuba is judged over two days, fanciers are able to see many different breeds being judged.

DOGS FOR THE DEAF, INC. Jude was trained by Dogs for the Deaf, Inc., a nonproﬁt organization in Central Point, OR founded by Roy Kabat in 1977. After he retired from a career of training animals for movies like “Born Free” and “Doctor Doolittle,” Kabat was contacted by the American Humane Association, Inc. in Denver, CO and asked if he could train dogs to assist the deaf and hard of hearing. He was so intrigued by the concept and its potential ramiﬁcations that he started Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. “From day one, our mission was to rescue dogs and help people with disabilities. In addition to Hearing Dogs, we train Autism Dogs and service dogs for professionals like special education teachers, physicians and counselors who work with people who have disabilities,” says Robin Dickson, President and CEO.

UNDERDOG TO WONDER DOG Almost all of the dogs trained to be Hearing Dogs by the organization are rescued from West Coast animal shelters. “We’ve rescued over 3,000 dogs since we started, but not all of them ended up being service dogs,” Dickson says. “The challenge for us is finding food candidates. Even though there are a lot of dogs in the shelters, they’re not all suited for Hearing Dog work. We place the dogs that don’t have what it takes with people who want a good, loving companion. None go back to a shelter. “We look for dogs that are confident and unafraid to go anyplace or encounter anything. They also need to be willing to please and people-orientated rather than focused on things in the environment. Hearing Dogs need to be active and energetic as well, so we train a lot of terrier and poodle mixes.” Because it trains rescued shelter dogs, Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. doesn’t have its own breeding program as do many service dog organizations, nor does it have a puppy raiser program where puppies are taught basic commands and socialized during the first year of their life by volunteers. As a result, the organization also looks for dogs that are between 10 months and 3 years of age. “We can’t accept young puppies donated by breeders or take them from animal shelters because we wouldn’t have any place to keep them. We also prefer that breeders live within driving distance of our facility if they intend to donate an adult dog. We couldn’t afford to ship it back to them in the event the dog doesn’t make it through the training program,” Dickson says.

sounds as well such as a tea kettle whistle or washing machine out of balance. “When the dogs hear a sound, they’re trained to go to their person and make physical contact. Small dogs are trained to stand on their hind legs and paw their person’s leg, while large dogs are trained to do a nose bump. After making physical contact, the dogs are trained to lead their person to the source of the sound. For example, if the doorbell rings, the dogs run to their person, alert, and then run to the door,” Dickson says. Regardless of the sound’s source, small and large dogs always alert in the same way: by pawing their person’s leg or nose bumping them respectively. They’re also primarily trained to alert to indoor rather than outdoor sounds such as automobile horns or police car sirens. Clients are told to watch their dogs whenever they go out in public because their dog’s reaction would make them aware of any sounds they might be missing. “We do clicker and positive reinforcement, rewardbased training, where the dogs work to get something they want like a treat, toy or praise,” Dickson says. “When teaching a sequence of behaviors, we do backchaining. That means we start with the end result we want. For example, after a trainer has someone knock on the door, he acts excited and gets the dog to follow him to the door where he gives it a treat. After the dog runs to the door whenever it hears knocking, it’s trained to go to the person and alert. After the dog alerts to one sound, it’s trained to alert to others.”

COST

TRAINING In addition to learning Hearing Dog skills, all dogs placed by the organization are obedience trained. Training speciﬁc to Hearing Dog skills includes teaching dogs to respond to eight different household sounds: smoke alarm, doorbell, door knock, oven timer, telephone, alarm clock, baby’s cry and someone calling a person’s name. Once Hearing Dogs are placed with clients in their homes, they begin alerting to other

“When calculating the cost to train Hearing Dogs, we include all of the expenses incurred from the time they’re gotten from an animal shelter in addition to the ﬁve months of Hearing Dog skills training they receive. That takes into account their veterinary care and placement, training clients to handle them and all of the follow-up work that’s done after their placement. When ﬁgured that way, the CONTINUED ON PAGE 136

average cost per dog is $25,000. However, clients only pay a $25 application fee and a $500 refundable deposit. We’re able to place dogs at virtually no cost to clients because we’re supported by public donations.”

LIFE CHANGERS Most deaf people are constantly on guard because they can’t hear. They’re always on edge and looking around for sounds they may be missing. “One client told me she no longer had to be on guard after she got her Hearing Dog. She knew if something was going on around her, her dog would alert her to it. Her dog gave her the freedom to relax,” Dickson says. After another client got her Hearing Dog, she said it would allow her to be part of the real world--That this would be the ﬁrst summer in her life, for example, that she’d know when the ice cream truck drove by. In addition to alerting to sounds, Hearing Dogs help clients relate to other people more effectively— and vice versa. “A lot of our clients use their dogs at work,” Dickson says. “If someone calls their name, the dog alerts them. We have one client whose co-workers used to throw erasers at her to get her attention before she got a Hearing Dog.” Because Hearing Dogs wear a service dog vest, they’re a visible message to the rest of the world that deaf or hearing impaired people might need a little help. They also make others realize that deaf or hearing impaired people aren’t stupid or rude because they didn’t respond to a question or comment.

HEARING DOGS FOR DEAF PEOPLE The founding of Hearing Dogs for Deaf People, a charitable organization headquartered in Buckinghamshire in the United Kingdom, was inspired by Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. It was started by veterinarian, Dr. Bruce Fogle, after he attended a British Small Animal Veterinary Association International Symposium in 1979 where information about Hearing Dog organizations in the United States was presented. Dr. Fogle was so intrigued by the Hearing Dog scheme he contacted Lady Beatrice Wright of the Royal National Institute for the Deaf and expressed the hope that a similar organization could be founded in the U.K. When he and Lady Wright visited Hearing Dog training centres in the U.S. during 1981, they were impressed by Dogs for the Deaf, Inc. After a pilot program based on it was devised for the U.K. in 1982, Dogs for Deaf People was begun. “We started as a small locally based initiative and have expanded on a national scale,” says Hearing Dogs for Deaf People Media and Campaigns Manager, Rob Panting. “Since inception, we’ve trained 1600 Service Dogs. Currently, there are about 750 active partnerships in the U.K. Like Dogs for the Deaf, Inc., we train and place Hearing Dogs with adults and children who are deaf or hearing impaired.” Unlike Dogs for the Deaf, Inc., the organization also trains and places Dual Service Dogs for people who have more than one disability, i.e., deafness and blindness or deafness and a physical disability. In this regard, it works with sister charities like Guide Dogs for the Blind, Inc., Canine Partners for Independence, Inc., and Dogs for the Disabled, Inc.

SPECIALIZED BREEDING PROGRAM

Trainer Tom Hill trains Hearing Dog Chance to alert him to the smoke alarm sounding. Chance alerts by lying on all fours, indicating possible danger. Photo provided by Hearing Dogs for Deaf People.

Because Hearing Dogs for Deaf People was modeled after Dogs for the Deaf, Inc., it also trained and placed animal shelter rescuees as Hearing Dogs for many years. However, it started its own breeding program in 2000. “We began our breeding program because we wanted to make sure the dogs we put through our training scheme actually got through it,” Panting says. “That wasn’t always the case with the shelter dogs we trained. Over the years, we found that Labrador and Golden Retrievers, Cocker Spaniels, Miniature Poodles and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels work best with our particular training method so they’re what we breed. We also breed a small number of crosses of these breeds— Labrador/Goldens and Cocker/Poodles.” (Despite having its own breeding program, the organization still accepts puppy donations from breeders of the same breeds.) To further increase the rate of training success, its breeding program emphasizes characteristics like trainability; eagerness to please and reactivity. Nonetheless, there still are some dogs that don’t have what it takes to become a Hearing Dog. In that event, they’re either placed in loving homes or given to another CONTINUED ON PAGE 152

WHEN DAVID WAS INVITED to judge in Colombia, our first reaction was to send an email to a friend who had been invited to judge there and had had a very unpleasant and expensive experience. Our friend assured us that this was not the same club. Our next thought was to read more about current political situations and safety issues. At the time Colombia was billed by the Huffington Post as the 9th most dangerous place in the world. Still, the lure of far-away places was calling. We decided to go and that turned out to be a good decision! Instead of flying from SFO or MRY, we drove 6 hours to LA because the airfare was considerably cheaper and we could leave our litter of puppies with our co owners, Chris and Shaun, who live near LAX.

The review of 2012 shows the same positive outlook that A was predicted in 1994 w when the program held its ﬁrst agility tr trial in Houston, Texas at the Astro Dome. The agility staff currently under the direction of Carrie DeYoung and now Vice President, Pres Doug Lundgren, continues tto keep the sport exciting and releva relevant to dogs and handlers. The Agility Field staff had changes this year with the retirement of Diane Craig, a ten-year employee and the addition of a new staff member, Debbie Wheeler from California.

he numbers in the existing six agility venues cannot match the number of trials and entries totaled up by AKC. The numbers for 2012 were impressive; with a 7.6 % increase from 2011; 2,411 trials were held, which is an increase of 170 trials and entries once again were over the one million mark. The growth rate continues to climb and the major issue in agility is a good one, not enough room in the trials for all the people that want to exhibit. After a full year of the new class, Time 2 Beat, is being embraced by the clubs and offered at most trials, the clubs are experiencing an increase in profit per trial as well. The popularity of the new class has pushed out the International Sweepstakes class and minimized the FAST class at most trials. The first large event of the year for the agility program was the AKC National Agility Championships held in Reno, Nevada in March. There were several changes this year as the Friday event eliminated the International Sweepstakes Day that had all the entries from a state acting as a team, to holding the individual competition of Time 2 Beat class and it counted towards the title. This proved a good change and had a very high entry and a lot of positive feedback. The Nevada and California agility clubs working with the AKC agility staff held a first rate event with an entry of 918 dogs. One of the impressive numbers was the fact that 68 of the dogs were champions and 45 states were represented. The second high profile event in March was the AKC/USA being represented at the Crufts Dog Show in England by Tori Self, a nineteen-year-old college student and her outstanding Border Collie, Revelation. Tori won second place overall but posted the fastest times. Next CONTINUED ON PAGE 224

A Judge A Gentleman Luis Pinto Teixeira is among the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most respected and popular judges, winning over the hearts of exhibitors and judges with his extensive knowledge, gracious ring manners, outgoing personality and descriptive gestures. We recently enjoyed his judging, company and advice during a judging assignment in Israel. Story & Photos By Yossi Guy

WHAT ARE THE MAKINGS OF A GOOD JUDGE? fter studying the subject for several years, my conclusion is that it takes a combination of various attributes, mainly talent (an “eye” for a dog), the ability to analyze visually, a lot of knowledge accumulated over time, and a certain personality that enables the judge to act fairly without being too aloof. Add to that a person who enters the ring with sparkling eyes even though he has been judging for decades, a fantastic memory for names and the ability to make bold judging decisions based on his talent and you have the makings of a great judge. Portuguese judge Luis Pinto Teixeira has all the trappings of a great judge and he is respected and sought after the world over. He has judged at every possible venue, country and continent and is now in his 37th year as a judge. He gave Dog News an insight into his world when visiting Israel in January.

WHAT BREEDS ARE YOU IN? I have had a couple of different kind of breeds including German shepherds, Boxers and for the last couple of years Golden Retrievers. I love dogs in general and for me that is the most important in the world. I love having dogs at home to breed and then at a later stage judge.

WHAT DOES JUDGING MEAN TO YOU? For me judging is meeting different kinds of people, cultures etc. from all over the world. SO HOW DO YOU JUDGE DOGS? The most important thing is to read the standard and familiarize yourself with it. It’s not to be used as a rule but as a standard. After you pick out the standard you can then judge according to your preference. Talking about standards – it’s important to understand that it’s only the country of origin of the breed that can change it [in FCI countries – YG]. The UK standards are accepted by the FCI immediately. The standards in the UK are very short, approximately 2 pages, while the FCI standards are longer. The longest we have is for the Mastiff which is 10 pages. The main difference between the UK and FCI standards is that UK don’t have disqualiﬁed points written down. In FCI they have it in the standards, minor, severe and disqualifying points. SO, IS KNOWLEDGE OF THE STANDARD ENOUGH? The standard is very important but experience comes by going to shows, working at shows and watching the dogs in the ring – how they move, how to touch and how to work a dog on a table (for smaller breeds). Best way to learn about dogs is working as a steward. A good steward helps the judge a lot, especially an all-rounder. He helps with the rules of the speciﬁc country he is judging in as they can vary from country to country. CONTINUED ON PAGE 226

earing Dogs provide much more than practical help to the deaf or hard of hearing. They offer increased independence, greater conﬁdence, companionship and a feeling of security. Consider the case of Susan Churchyard, who lives in Burgess Hill, a town in the south of England. “I found coming to terms with deafness really hard,” she says. “[When I was young,] I wanted to be like my friends and not stand out. After I got married when I was older and had my son Tommy,

Getting Jasmine, her cockerpoo Hearing Dog, literally changed her life overnight according to Churchyard. “Jasmine tells me when the phone or doorbell ring.

When one of my ladies brings out a cup of tea for me, they say ‘Jasmine, call Mum.’ Jasmine comes and ﬁnds me in the garden and leads me back to them. So, she’s a really helpful girl.” Now that Churchyard has Jasmine, life is much better for the whole family according to her son, Tommy, who says his mother is much happier and calmer since getting a Hearing Dog.

of life. That’s when they’re taught basic commands and introduced to the sights and sounds that will become familiar to them in later life as Hearing Dogs,” Panting says. Also like Dogs for the Deaf, Inc., reward based, positive reinforcement training methods that include clicker are used. “When puppies are about a year old, they’re teamed up with one of our professional trainers and go through a 16-week training course that includes different sound work and alerts. Our dogs are trained to alert deaf people to a variety of sounds and are trained to do two different alert behaviors depending upon the kind of sound. For example, there are everyday sounds in the home such as the doorbell, cooking timer and alarm clock. For those, the dogs do an everyday alert, which means they go to their person and nudge them with their nose. The deaf person then asks “What is it?” and puts both hands up in the air to indicate this. The dog then leads their deaf person to the source of the sound.” In addition to everyday sounds, there are sounds related to danger such as a ﬁre alarm. Unlike Dogs for the Deaf, Inc., the organization trains its Hearing Dogs to differentiate between the two by doing a second alerting behavior. If the dogs hear a sound associated with danger, they alert by going down on all fours. They’re also trained to alert to outdoor as well as indoor sounds.

COST “We make a lifelong commitment to clients once we place Hearing Dogs with them,” Panting says. “Hearing Dogs work for 11 or 12 years. When they’re retired, their clients go to the top of our waiting list for another dog. We have people who’ve had four or ﬁve of our Hearing Dogs.” On the average, the cost of the lifetime commitment is £45,000 per client. It includes 18 months of training for each of the Hearing Dogs a client receives along with ongoing support. (The 10 months of puppy socialization done by volunteers are considered part of the 18 months of training.) Despite this, clients pay nothing. Again like Dogs for the Deaf, Inc., Hearing Dogs are provided at no charge because the organization is funded by public donations. Since neither organization receives any government funding, both are in constant need of charitable contributions.

Frederick Thomas Daws

and his art CONTINUED FROM PAGE 79

a collection of ‘Champion Dogs’, mainly in show stance. He visited the kennels of top breeders to work from life and his sculptures were approved by the owners before being reproduced in the HN collection. Most breeds were offered in three sizes and they were so popular that many stayed in continuous production for ﬁfty years. Although Daws is remembered today more for his paintings, there are those who, in my opinion rightly so, consider him a much more accomplished sculptor. F.T. Daws (which is how he is usually referred to) was born in Bermondsey, London in 1878, his parents, Frederick Dendy Daws, an oil merchant’s clerk, and Hannah, were living at the time in Blue Anchor Lane. In 1891 the family are living in Beckenham where Daws remained until just after the Second World War when he moved to Hastings where he died in 1956. A great churchgoer, following his death a landscape painting was presented to his church in accordance with his wishes. His patrons included Queen Alexandra, Queen Amelia of Portugal and the Maharajah Sir Chadra Shum Shere Jung of Nepal. He was also

commissioned by the Royal Air Force to paint a life-size portrait of the late King George V. Of the few other human portraits he completed there was one of George S Thomas with his Wire Fox Terrier, Lone Star. Thomas, who was born in England, arrived in America in the late 1880s and eventually established a Fox Terrier empire – breeding, showing, buying, bringing on, selling – that included back-up kennels in England. Daws’ human portraiture, like that of many of his dogs, was very stiff in composition, but if it was just a likeness he was after, George Thomas would have been pleased. One of his earliest dog portraits was the French Bulldog, Ch. Sacherissa, who made her show début in 1905. She was owned by Mrs. W.W. Crocker in England but bred in Austria by the eccentric cigar-smoking Anna Sacher of the famous Sacher Hotel. It was though between the war years that Daws was at his busiest with many leading breeders in Great Britain, India, the Continent and America commissioning portraits of their dogs that the list of both dogs and owners read like a Who’s Who. Chief of whom in Britain was Mrs. Campbell Inglis of the famous Mannerhead Poodles and one of his American commissions was the French Bulldog, Melisa of the Bandbox, a winner at Westminster in 1921.

hat Daws is least well known for are plaster and concrete models which he started to produce in the 1930s. A scaled down version without the base of his plaster model of Mrs. A.A. Parkes’ Airedale, Ch. Cotsford Topsail, was reproduced in Doulton’s ‘Champion Dogs’ range. It was a plaster model that was one of the last pieces of work he produced, the phenomenally successful Cocker Spaniel, Tracey Witch of Ware, owned by the legendary H.S. Lloyd. Tracey Witch was Best in Show at the first two Crufts after the war, 1948 and 1950 (there was no show in 1949). In 1951 she was beaten for B.O.B. by her kennelmate, in 1952 she was B.O.B. but the Cocker judging finished after B.I.S. and finally in 1953, rising eight, she was again B.O.B. and reserve B.I.S. on the second day. To commemorate her two Crufts B.I.S. wins and in recognition of all Lloyd had done for dogdom, Spratt’s, who were the leading dog food manufacturers at the time, commissioned the model and it was presented to Lloyd in 1951. Each of Daws concrete garden ornaments was modelled by hand and not cast from a mould. As with most of his other work, these models were of named dogs and included H.S. Lloyd’s Lucky Star of Ware, the first Cocker to win B.I.S. at Crufts, the Wire Fox Terriers Ch. Kemphurst Carnation and Ch. Crackley Starlet who were modelled in coloured concrete and a group of three famous Mannerhead Poodles, Ch. Limelight of Mannerhead, Ch. Eric Brighteyes and Ch. The Laird of Mannerhead. By definition, these models would have been displayed outside and subject to the vagaries of the British weather, so most probably ended their days is a rather sorry state and few, if indeed any, have survived. 롦

in favor of getting rid of the dog. But Sgt. Joyce still insisted on giving him a chance. As things turned out, it was a good decision. With some food in his belly, the dog started to learn what was asked of him very quickly. He’d obviously had military training before. He learned basic commands in English like heel, sit, and stay. After just a few nights, Sgt. Joyce noticed the dog snap his head to attention and stare out into the night, beyond the fence. He encouraged him, telling him “Good!” The shepherd began to bark loudly. Several insurgents sprinted out of their hiding places and hightailed it out of there. They’d been waiting for the right moment to get a shot at the Americans. But with a dog on the scene, they decided it wasn’t worth it. Sgt. Joyce looked down at the shepherd in amazement. “You might have just saved my life,” he said. The unit was pestering Sgt. Joyce to come up with a name for their new friend. Some of their suggestions were “Lucky” or “Terror.” Sgt. Joyce was thinking about his two young daughters, back at home in their bedrooms with their stuffed toys. He reached out and touched the dog on the head, and said out loud how his coat felt, “Fluffy.” The dog had been sleeping. When he heard Sgt. Joyce say, “Fluffy,” he looked directly at him. “Fluffy,” Sgt. Joyce said again. “That’s what I’m going to call him.” The men groaned and complained that no one would be afraid of a dog with a sissy name like Fluffy. Yet the next night, as they walked the perimeter, Fluffy spotted someone and tore loose from Sgt. Joyce. It was a Kurdish soldier, friendly to the Americans, but he was an Iraqi, and Fluffy knew the difference. He chased the man over a fence, tearing off his pants.

compound, all night long. He never ran at the sound of bullets, and we were safe because he was there.” Sgt. Joyce was due to return to his home in South Carolina. But he started to worry about what was going to happen to Fluffy. “I had trained him to hate Iraqis, so there was no way I could leave him with them. I started to think about taking him home.” On one of his weekly calls to his wife, Caroline, he told her he was thinking of bringing a dog home from Iraq. Caroline later recalled that conversation. “I said, ‘Excuse me, I didn’t hear you right. It sounded like you said you want to bring a dog home.’” But she never once thought of asking her husband not to do it. Having him home meant so much to her and the girls. If he wanted to bring a dog, fine, bring a dog. Just come home in one piece, she prayed. Sgt. Joyce sought out Air Force dog handlers from the 506th K-9 unit who had been trained at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, where all military handlers and K9s are trained. They were impressed with Fluffy, and the rapid progress he’d made. They were sympathetic to his desire to take Fluffy home with him. But in 2003, this was not an easy matter. The U.S. military had not been very helpful in the past to handlers who wanted to keep their dogs. Sgt. Joyce set about on a mission to have Fluffy made an official U.S. War Dog. Since Fluffy had enlisted on the battlefield, it was complicated. But word of Fluffy’s work to protect his unit had spread throughout the region. And Sgt. Joyce was a persuasive advocate. The red tape of the military moves slowly, but Sgt. Joyce was able to get it done. His Commanding Officer made Fluffy official and gave him orders to move stateside. The matter of getting Fluffy permission to enter the United States was just as complicated. Army veterinarians pronounced Fluffy fit and free from communicable disease. Sgt. Joyce needed a lot of official signatures. When the big day arrived, he thought he had them. But the pilot of the C-17 Globemaster disagreed. He refused to carry Fluffy. Sgt. Joyce had to leave him at a military kennel at the airport. “For 72 hours,” the kennelmaster told him. “After that, I’ve got new dogs coming in. He’s got to be out of here.” Sgt. Joyce arrived back at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, happy to be with his wife, Caroline, and daughters Samantha and Elise. But he was desperate to find a way

he best thing about that incident was that everyone in the unit saw it. They were impressed. Fluffy now alerted whenever an Iraqi approached the Americans. On patrol, he warned them away from anyone lying in wait. He was with the unit when they came under ﬁre twice, took minor injuries, and stuck bravely through the shootings. He learned his job at an amazing pace. In only two weeks he could correctly walk patrol, bark ferociously when directed, and challenge and even attack anyone who tried to harm Sgt. Joyce or the men in the unit. Sgt. Joyce said, “He was a soldier. He was one of the team. He walked guard with every American soldier in our

THROUGHOUT HISTORY HUMANS HAVE BEEN QUAFFING FERMENTED fruit and imbibing in alcohol, oftentimes with canine companions by their feet. ‘Brewdogs’, a slang term for those that brew beer, often employed canines not only as companions while they were making mash, but also to guard their supply from would-be robbers, to keep rats from their grains and to accompany draught carts on deliveries. The American craft beer industry has exploded in recent years, experiencing exponential growth despite the prolonged recession, with sales of $4.66 billion for the ﬁrst half of 2012 alone, a 14% increase over 2011, and has copped on to this age-old relationship between dogs and brewers, or so it would seem, with a preponderance of breweries, beers, ales and stouts that boast ‘dog’ or dogs’ names in their titles.

to get Fluffy back to the United States. He told Caroline, “I put my life in his hands every day. And he put his in mine. I can’t just abandon him.” He found the right person when he called Ron Aiello, president of the US War Dog Association. Ron is a former Army military dog handler who served in Vietnam with a German Shepherd, Stormy. When Ron heard the story, he was determined to help. Sgt. Joyce recalls, “I had no idea that I’d woken a sleeping giant, the Vietnam dog handlers. They got in touch with everybody in Washington to get them in on this effort.” It was normal to get phone calls from family and friends, welcoming him with relief that he’d returned safely. But now, when the phone rang, it was Senator Kennedy from Massachusetts, Senator Alexander from Tennessee, and Senator Boxer from California, Senator Brownback from Kentucky or Senators Burr and Dole from North Carolina. Caroline kept track; 32 of the 100 United States senators called the Joyce home, promising to do what they could to bring Fluffy home. The Joyces were overwhelmed with messages of support. Ron Aiello says, “I hoped to get some correspondence from the Pentagon in about two weeks. But the Pentagon called me two days later. They said, ‘There are formalities we are going to have to take care of, but we’ll do it. We are as committed to bring this dog home as you are.’” When Ron expressed gratitude, the ofﬁcial on the phone said that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was being swamped by calls from Capitol Hill; so many that he couldn’t get any other work done. That was the power of the Vietnam vets, each one acting on his own across the country. Vietnam is a bleak moment in the history of U.S. war dogs. Five thousand dogs served in country; only 206 were brought back to the United States. Ron Aiello says, “They served with us, just as hard, just as loyal. And we betrayed them. We left them behind. The Vietnamese probably ate most of them. We weren’t going to let it happen again. We were going to get this one home. Like I wrote to Donald Rumsfeld, ‘If we bring this dog home, it’s kind of like a living memorial to the dogs who served in Vietnam.’” A lawyer who was at the Department of Defense recalled, “The Secretary came out and said, ‘I want that dog brought home now. And if you can’t do it, go get me some better lawyers.’” The Defense Department kept its promise and worked on the Fluffy matter as quickly as it could. Twenty days after he’d left Fluffy in Iraq, Sgt. Joyce was waiting for another C-17 to land. The Vietnam dog handlers waited anxiously across the country for Ron

“FLUFFY

Aiello to email them the news. And then, another heartbreaking delay. “The kennelmaster called me from the airport in Iraq. He was screaming, ‘We’re under fire, we can’t send him!’” Ron recalled. “A gun battle had broken out on the airfield. They had to postpone the flight.” Many who got the news felt despair. They had fought hard to get Fluffy on that plane. Now, maybe he wouldn’t make it. Two hours later, the kennelmaster called back. The battle had been won. Fluffy was on his way. The reunion took place May 31, 2003, on the flight line at Charleston Air Force Base. Fluffy charged across the airstrip towards the one human he loved more than anyone else in the world. Sgt. Joyce took the leash and dropped down to put his arm over Fluffy’s shoulders. During his years in the States, Fluffy helped raise money for U.S. War Dog Memorials in Holmdel, NJ, and Fort Benning, GA. He had dog treats named after him by a manufacturer, secured a spot in the National Infantry Museum, and was featured on “America’s Top Dog” on A&E and in a chapter of Paws & Effect: The Healing Power of Dogs. The Iams Company provided him with a lifetime supply of dog food. He was the hero of a children’s book written by Joyce’s 14-year-old daughter, Samantha, with the help of her mother. A roster of celebrities including comedian Robin Williams, actor Gary Sinise and unconventional physician Patch Adams lent their support. Things changed rapidly in the next few years. Many of the improvements in the lot of war dogs are directly due to Ron Aiello’s organization. War Dog monuments have gone up in New Jersey, Florida, Texas and other states. Military dogs are now put up for adoption at the end of their careers, rather than being destroyed. The AKC recognizes a Heroic Military Working Dog with an award every year. There is an effort underway to make March 13 National K9 Veterans Day, since March 13,1942 is the official birthday of the U.S. K9 Corps. Despite the fact that he could be an aggressive war dog, Fluffy adapted to life in the suburbs with Sgt. Joyce’s family. He lived peacefully until his death in 2009. His age was estimated to be nine. Early injuries, before his time with the Americans, contributed to his death. Sgt. Joyce wrote in an email to all Fluffy’s many friends, “He protected me. He protected my family. He was not a pet – he was a soldier first.” 롦

The AKC Eukanuba National Championship CONTINUED FROM PAGE 119

World Show each breed is normally only judged once and your second favorite breed might be judged at the same time in a different hall half a mile away.

ver the last twelve years, the show has moved locations and venues several times since the first one in Orlando. The Long Beach Convention Center worked quite well for several years. However, as with previous venues the finals judging and breed judging had to be held in separate buildings. In 2011 when the show moved to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, it immediately became a welcomed change. The last year in Long Beach in 2010 the show had entries of 2,600. Right away moving to Orlando the entries were 3,933 or close to a fifty percent increase. This year the entries rose to 4,347. There are many reasons behind the increase. Mainly as Americans we forget California is a corner of the world. It usually does not attract entries from its Western direction. Having the show held on the East coast makes it much more manageable for so many European countries and so much of South America to attend. From Europe or South America it is a very long flight to the West Coast. It is also much more expensive and more stressful for the dogs, as well as, exhibitors. The Orlando Convention Center is thought to be the best of its kind in the US. Also it gives fanciers from the States and abroad the opportunity to visit Orlando, one of the biggest tourism cities of the world. Airfare to Orlando is very competitive and the hotel rates are less expensive than Long Beach. So many factors prove that Orlando is the perfect location for the show to be held. I am sure there is not a serious fancier in any corner of the world that did not know the results immediately as each breed was being judged. “Sky”, the Wire Fox Terrier, now joins the ranks of “JR” and “Mick” who won the first and second Eukanuba shows. Five of the previous eleven winners have also gone on to BIS at Westminster. Gabe Rangel now is the first handler to have won Eukanuba twice; just three years ago he won with “Sadie”, the Scottie, who also later went on to win Garden. “Sky” is the fifth Terrier to have captured BIS at Eukanuba in the span of twelve shows. Edd Bivin had a stellar lineup presented to him and it had to bring back memories of when his other two Ft Worth colleagues judged Best, Dorothy Nickles in 2001 and Maxine Beam in 2007. Not many cities can boast having produced three judges to do BIS at the Eukanuba. It had to be the thrill of a lifetime for Al Pertuit, the co breeder and Diane Ryan and Mary Olund, two of her co-owners to witness her great victory. It was unfortunate that Torie Steele, a co-owner, could not be present. It was just

last year that Torie won the Terrier group with her homebred, Ch. Steele Your Heart. Victor Malzoni, another co-owner, had to leave Orlando before Sunday. Not only did Victor have the thrill of “Sky” winning Eukanuba, but his German Wirehaired Pointer went BIS in Pennsylvania and this win made “Oakley” top dog of the year. No owner in history has ever enjoyed a day like that before. “Sky” only started her campaign last spring and had not been shown every weekend since. For as few shows as she has been to this past year, she ended the year as number four dog. While judging Orange Empire in January of 2010, I noticed a young Japanese handler standing outside my ring with a young Wire that attracted me like a magnet. Immediately I could not wait for him to bring her in to be judged. I had the feeling it had to be her first weekend, since she was not very ring wise and did not have the fanciest of trims on her. It was love at first sight on my part and also on her part. Much to the embarrassment of the young man she jumped all over me when I walked up to her. When he put her on the table she proceeded to jump on me and showered me with kisses. There were several top winning males specials and I had difficulty deciding who would be BOS. This gave me the opportunity to also enjoy having this thrilling bitch to view. Much to the chagrin of several handlers she went BOB in a heart beat. In preparing for the American Fox Terrier floating held with Great Western, “Sky” went to a few shows to become ring wise. She won the floater from the classes and also BOB the following day. It was over a year before “Sky” would be shown again. This time it was in Paris at the World Show in 2011. With only being shown a hand full of times, Connie Clark awarded her BOB in the largest entry of Wire Fox Terriers anywhere in the world in modern times. This was no easy feat since the winning male, Crispy Legacy from Sweden, challenged her. Many Wire authorities feel he might be the best male Wire since Galsul Excellence. I did not envy Connie having to choose between the dog and bitch. “Sky” went on to win the Terrier group under Christian Stefanescu and then went third BIS at the biggest World Show ever. This year at Eukanuba “Mr. Wire Fox Terrier”, Harry O’Donoghue, judged Wires and had the “Crispy Legacy” dog and “Sky” in the ring together. “Legacy” was here to represent Sweden in the World Challenge. It did bring many, many people ringside to see what Harry would do. It brought back memories of when “Spot On” and Dominator” went head to head at the Garden in the early 70’s. After both exhibits had their moment in the spotlight, the American bitch became the victor. CONTINUED ON PAGE 200

he great state of Texas not only produced the judge Edd Bivin, but also the winner of the Sporting group. This is the Black Cocker “Beckham”, who was bred in Dallas by Linda Moore. This past spring “Beckham” became the top winning Sporting dog of all time. This was a repeat performance since last year he had also won the group under the legendary Maxine Beam. Since breaking the record he had only been shown at the Summer National and the weekend before Eukanuba. There were two Cocker Specialties so he would be in prime shape for the big challenge. The legendary, late Everett Dean had awarded him his first big win and had said he was as good a Cocker as he had ever seen. This praise coming from Everett certainly had to be so meaningful to his breeder, Linda, and the owning team. His handlers, Mike and Linda Pitts, will always take pride in how strongly Everett felt about “Beckham”. How fitting the group win this year came from “Mr. Cocker”, Terry Stacy. Terry handled so many of the great Cockers in the heyday of the breed. Terry has always felt as strongly about him as Everett did. I am sure it gave Terry such great pleasure to award this super dog the Sporting group at Eukanuba. Top wins from the likes of Everett and Terry is a breeders dream come true. The Hound group was presided over by Carla Molinari, who has been recognized for so long as one of the great judges of the world. In 2010 Carla had the honor of judging the finals for the World Challenge. In speaking with Carla afterwards, her only regret was only having 29 minutes to judge the group. She felt having so many great Hounds present there were several she would have liked to have moved again. Her winner, Ch. Shiraz California Dreamin, is probably the most famous winning dog the sport has seen for years. This past year he won the entire World Show. He also has won the European Show and so many big shows throughout all of Europe. His Swedish owners, Nicklas & Ingunn Ericksson, have enjoyed several great wins over the Eukanuba weekend for the past several years and is a BIS winner here in the States. This was his fourth consecutive year competing for the World Challenge, which has to be a record in itself. This year besides winning the Hound Group, he was a finalist in the World Challenge and became

the first dog ever to go Reserve BIS at Eukanuba. Today the vast campaigns and records seem to over shadow the breeders. This great Saluki although owned in Sweden, was bred here in the US by Michael & Elan Edwards and Valerie Nunes-Atkinson. It seems just like yesterday Valerie was competing in Juniors. Now she has co-owned a Short Hair Pointer that went BIS at Westminster and the breeder of Reserve BIS at Eukanuba. Valerie has to be a shinning example to the Junior competing today. When she judges Juniors the wins have to be extra meaningful since they come from Valerie. Norm Kenney had a very strong Working Group to evaluate. After making a cut of many wonderful dogs, his eventual winner was the Alaskan Malamute, “Ch. Catanya’s Latin Lover”. Mike Stone and this dog make a great team. “Latin Lover” is owned by breeder P. J. Kendrick, Armando Martinez and Alisa Syar. Four years ago Alisa co-owned another Malamute that won the group at Eukanuba. This dog has built a large record without being flown around the country. I am sure he has only been flown to Eukanuba and the Garden. Mike and the owners have to be congratulated in always presenting this dog in rock hard condition.

eggy Beisel-McIlwaine has been a student of Terriers her whole grown life. As a young student she learned so much from the legendary George Ward. Peggy bred Wires and many top Cairns. In 2010 she presided over Best at Montgomery County. In 2006, she sent “Rufus” on to the finals at the Garden when Jim Reynolds awarded him BIS. After all these years of hard coated Terriers, Peggy and husband, Sandy, have Bull Terriers. So do not be surprised when judging Bull Terriers if Peggy appears in the ring. Her vast background as a breeder will surely carry over to her being a good Bull Terrier breeder. The mother of her pup is a “Silverwood” winner, so Peggy has big expectations to live up to. Peggy, like Roz Kramer and many others, has always kept the ginger Wires alive when it was so difficult to win with a ginger or produce a good one. Before “Sky”, only one ginger ever won an all-breed Best. It has to be extra meaningful for Peggy to be the one that sent “Sky” on to the finals. I did not envy Peggy having only four ribbons. Besides “Sky”, the number two and three and four top winning Terriers were before her. Virginia Lyne, who began in the Sport sixty years ago, as a very young girl, had several of the top dogs in America before her. Last year “Joey”, the top winning CONTINUED ON PAGE 207

Affenpinscher of all time, won the group. This year Virginia awarded it to him again and he is the first Affie to have ever won a group at Eukanuba. Tina Truesdale, who co-owns Joey, also owned the only Affie to win a group at Westminster. This was ten years ago when Ch. Yarrow’s Super Nova, known as Cosmos, did it. “Joey” was bred by co-owner Mieke Cooymans, who has produced many top wining Affies worldwide. As this little Monkey Dog is winding down his show career, he will be greatly missed by so many fans on the East Coast. I would be remiss in not thanking Ernesto Lara for bringing him out to Santa Barbara in 2011. Everyone on the West Coast was so pleased to see him and especially Darren Bowey who awarded him BIS, making “Joey” the only Affie ever to go BIS at Santa Barbara Kennel Club. The Non-Sporting group offered Gene Mills a beautiful array to pick from. The odds were on the Bichon, Ch. Paray’s Power & Priviledge, since Gene had awarded him the Non Sporting Bred by Group in 2011. Gene is a Bichon breeder and this lovely dog won the breed under “Mr. Bichon”, Richard Beauchamp, in a highly contested breed ring. The accomplishments of Paul Flores and Tray Pittman have been a leading force in Bichons. At the first year, when the Bred By Group was offered in 2003, they won it.

his year Gene proved that a relatively unknown dog, without a big record, can go to the top. This was when Gene awarded the Standard Poodle, Del Zarzoso Salvame From Afterglow, winning the breed from the Open Class. I believe this was the first time in many years that a class animal has enjoyed such a prestigious win. “Dino”, the Standard Poodle, was bred in Spain by Carlos Renau and L. Gonzales. He went to England as a stud fee puppy to Michael Gadsby and Jason Lynn. Jason handled him in England to many great wins. This past spring Michael and Jason brought him over to compete at Poodle Club of America and was Reserve Winners Dog. His grandfather “Donny”, Afterglow the Big Tease, was the first Poodle ever to go Best at PCA from the classes. “Donny” enjoyed a wonderful career in the States and when he returned to England went Reserve BIS under Peter Green. I always felt privileged to have been able to award him his first points in the US. After PCA this year, “Dino” stayed in the States for breeding purposes. He was only shown once again before

Eukanuba where he won the group. Here at his third show, Barbara Alderman awarded him the breed from the classes in a field of wonderful Standards. Allison Foley handled him at Eukanuba. “Dino” has been purchased by owners in California and will be piloted by Amy Rutherford. This victory for “Dino” restores faith to many that a good dog can win big without even one ad or a lot of hype. The Herding Group was full of top winners for James Fredericksen to pick from. Jim and his partner Jim Noe purchased their first show Collie in 1963 and over these 50 years have contributed greatly to the sport. Heather Johnson piloted the Bouvier, Ch. Rocheuses Me and My Shadow Cornus, to the top spot. This wonderful dog is owned by F & C Dreyfus and Heather & Colton and co-breeder Karen Brown. I have known Heather since she was a young teenager growing up in Long Island. Her family was a fixture at all the metro New York shows and Heather showed the family Bullmastiffs. Through the sport, Heather met Colton Johnson, whose parents for decades have bred great Old English Sheepdogs and Bouviers. In 2005, Colton won the Herding group with the family bred OES, Ch. Bugaboo’s Big Resolution. Colton’s parents, Douglas and Michaelane Johnson, were honored as the 2006 AKC Breeder of the Year. The Johnson family is a shining example of what the sport should be all about. In knowing the Johnson family for roughly thirty years I have never once heard a negative comment about them. Usually when people have enjoyed so much success jealous competitors can make detracting remarks, but not in this case.

his twelfth AKC/Eukanuba gave so much pleasure and made dreams come true to so many people. Ron Menaker, Michael Canalizo, Dennis Sprung, Paul Spector, Jason Taylor, Vicki Seiler and so many others have to be thanked for staging this great show that does so much for the sport. The regular show is just one factor that makes up the whole extravaganza. Look for the other highlights to follow. I am already looking forward to next year which promises to be even better. 롦

tery meat... dreadful! Fortunately, after landing, things started looking up. The 9pm arrival in Bogotá was pretty much on time. Getting our suitcase and clearing through customs went smoothly. Club member, Dr. Daniel Argüello, came to meet us and took us to the hotel. We had a nightcap in the cozy bar, and started working on recalling our Spanish, conversing with the friendly staff. The rather oddly named Factory Inn is actually a very nice hotel with beautiful ﬂower arrangements, complimentary internet access and hot Colombian coffee available at all hours in the lobby. Our room was tidy and ultra modern. The big comfortable bed with immaculate, pressed sheets was welcoming.

he hotel buffet breakfast included interesting items like chicken vegetable soup and fruits that were completely unknown to us. The morning waiter Luis seemed fascinated by our love of really good black coffee (without milk or sugar) and the unique fruit juices like lulo and cherimoya. Lulo is a small fuzzy orange with green ﬂesh, native to the Andes Mountains. It’s very tasty and is full of vitamins. Cherimoya is a sort of lumpy looking green fruit with white interior and dark seeds. The juice is also reportedly used to make exotic cocktails. The taste is on the order of mango, banana, strawberry sherbet. Perhaps because we seemed so enthused about the intriguing choices in fruits, juices, and pastries, Luis started bringing us “special coffees” and dishes from the kitchen, explaining that he wanted us to try more foods of his country. Throughout our stay, the entire staff was very accommodating, but Luis pretty much adopted us and seemed to give us special attention. His kindness and passion for sharing Colombian foods were part of the reason we were to enjoy this trip so much.

Florverde & Juan Valdez In addition to their sensational flowers, Colombia produces about 150 different fruit varieties. Because of the biodiversity of the many ecosystems within the country, agricultural products are an extremely important revenue source. Of approximately 300,000 plant species known in the world, 130,000 can be found in Colombia. Colombia is one of the four big flower producing countries in the world. The other three are Netherlands, Ecuador and Kenya. The US imports about 500 million blooms every year for Valentines’ Day alone. Colombian flowers are of the highest quality and consequently are in high demand. About 80% of Colombian flowers come to the US. They constitute about 60% of all flowers imported into this country. Growing conditions in the Sabana de Bogotá are considered to be nearly perfect for most flowers and for roses especially. We learned that roses with scent spoil quicker. Since most roses are transported over great distances and florists want hardy roses that look great for extended periods of time, growers have developed beautiful blooms with less scent. Of course, Colombia is also known for Juan Valdez (a fictional character), his donkey, and high quality coffee which is grown principally on small farms. While the milder local arabica coffees are probably most popular, at Daniel’s recommendation, we bought some robusta (made from more intense, full flavored beans) coffee that local people drink. It was rich and truly delicious! We knew about the flowers and coffee, but their exotic fruits were one of the especially nice discoveries about Colombia. We were able to try only a few, like pitahaya, which is also called dragon fruit. The exterior is pink with green flame like growths. The white interior is filled with tiny black seeds. It has texture similar to kiwi and is from a species of cactus. Guanabana also known as Soursop which seems a rather terrible name for a tasty fruit, is believed to have anti-cancer qualities. Next visit, I want to start by going to a fruit stand first. After breakfast that first morning, Daniel took us on a tour around Bogotá, including a drive up Mount Monserrate overlooking the city.

visiting the Museum of Gold, walking in the historical, colonial areas of the city, and having fashionably late lunch at a restaurant that specializes in prawns and shrimp. Dessert was unbelievably delicious home-made ice cream made with fresh fruit. The lunch complimented by a glass of good Chilean wine for me and one of the excellent local beers for David was marvelous. We particularly enjoyed Daniel’s company and it’s hard not to enjoy being escorted by an intelligent, young man who looks a lot like Tom Cruise, only taller and probably a lot nicer.

hat evening, Sandra Lex arrived and joined us for dinner in the wine cellar at the hotel. The wait staff in the hotel spoke limited English, so we had to struggle as best we could with our Spanish to ask about dishes and wines, and enjoyed the challenge. Sandra loves good food, wine, adventure, and dogs too. We enjoyed a truly pleasant evening with her. After her long trip from Toronto and our day’s outing, we were all happy to head to bed rather early.

Off to the Salt Mines The next morning, Daniel drove the three of us to the Salt Cathedral of Zipaquirá. The Catedral de Sal is within producing salt mines, which are part of the largest rock salt deposits in the world. These salt deposits were formed around 250 million years ago and were raised above sea level approximately at the time the Andes were formed. The stations of the cross are carved into deep caves. Colorful backdrop lighting dramatizes the displays. No Disney rides here, it was all walking down and then back up. After a morning of good exercise, we drove to Cajicá to meet some of the club officers for lunch. Club President Luis Alberto Martin and Show Chair Denys Jannsen came to meet us at a charming restaurant with eclectic decor and rather rustic ambiance. The food and wine were good. The company and conversation were outstanding. Fellow judges Jamie Hubbard and Douglas Johnson arrived late that night. The next morning, after breakfast, a driver took us to the Sopó Campus Municipal football field (i.e. the soccer field) for a very civilized 9:30am show start time. The grounds were a little soggy

from rain the night before, but most of the rings and grooming areas were covered by tenting and were reasonably dry. The setup was amazingly well done with tenting that allowed for showing outside on one side or under the canopy on the other. Most of the day, it was overcast, but the sun came out occasionally and if not raining, the judges generally used the uncovered, sunny side. The massive, colorful ﬂower arrangements were gorgeous. All the stewards spoke English and everyone was friendly! A special highlight of the show included meeting a handsome Bracco Italiano, who was enormously personable. Most of the time, he stood on his rear legs with his front legs on the X-pen, watching people pass by. If someone stopped to speak to him, he extended a paw. He especially liked to “high ﬁve”. And he was beautiful!!! We would have loved to take him home. CONTINUED ON PAGE 220

The Post Show Party

That evening, Jamie, Douglas, Sandra, David and I had dinner in the wine cellar at the hotel. The server decanted the wine in a most unusual devise that permitted the wine to be dispensed by gravity ﬂow, rather than traditional pouring. None of us had ever seen anything quite like it before. Jamie immediately posted a picture to Facebook. It was difﬁcult to explain what it really looked like. A photo was the smart way to do it and for all the uniqueness, the decanter seemed to serve the purpose and was rather effective in aerating the wine. We had a delicious dinner and had a nice time visiting over our meal.

On Monday, we were invited to a marvelous reception at Denys’ country home. A large white tent had been set up to allow outdoor dining and a pleasant welcome area. Fortunately the weather cooperated and it was a pretty, sunny day. While the kitchen staff prepared lunch, guests toured Denys’ lovely thatched roof home and spacious grounds. Denys had a litter of Pointer puppies, which she very kindly allowed me to see and hold. Mama and babies had their own, quiet, very private, spacious quarters. It was heartwarming to see the beautiful babies and talk with Denys about analyzing them at that stage. The food was delicious. We were introduced to club members and officers, friends and family. We chatted with Denys’ handsome son Tim, who is an actor, especially well known for his roles in daytime Colombian television. We also visited with hard working club members Lucia Quintero and Dr. Carolina Gamboa Club Secretary and Veterinarian. Later, inside by the fireplace, we had coffee and spoke at length, with the Club Treasurer, Magda Hergett de Kraus. Everyone had a great time. Most of us were slow to leave, but David and I had a 7am flight so we eventually pulled away and went back to the hotel to pack and get some sleep. The next morning we left the hotel about 4am, checked in and went to the lounge for coffee and breakfast. Inside airport security, we picked up 2 Colombian beers to take back to the US, not realizing we had to go through another security check at the gate. Surprisingly, security wasn’t interested. The second check seemed to be for drugs or weapons. United upgraded us to First Class for the flight into Houston, which made our return much nicer than our outbound flight had been. In Houston, David went on to Tulsa, while I continued to LAX, where I visited with friends for a few days until David returned from the Tibetan Spaniel National. It was good to come home with truly fond memories of a really wonderful visit and especially the caring, hospitable Colombians. 롦

unday morning, we returned to the show site to find that it had rained again through the night. Off and on during the day, cool winds brought in light showers. We were all grateful for the tenting. Most of us kept our coats or jackets on throughout the day. Club members and their crew were very accommodating and seemed to stop by about every 20 minutes to ask if we wanted or needed anything. They brought us warm biscuits, cookies, candy, water, coffee, etc. etc. Midway through the second day of their very kind care and watching over us, I responded by smiling and saying something to the effect of “No, I’ll wait until the margaritas are ready.” Despite the overcast weather and some soggy footing in the parking and adjacent areas, everyone seemed to maintain a light hearted, happy outlook. One of the young men who had been especially good to look out for us, Hugo went to the Show Chair Denys Janssen and said, “Mrs. Alexander needs a margarita”. Denys, who is an all breeds judge and one of the most fascinating women I’ve ever met, reportedly responded to Hugo, “So do I.” After the show and a classy postshow celebration complete with champagne and delicious hors d’oeuvres, Jamie and Douglas went to visit friends. Denys took the rest of us to a handsome historic way house in Chia called El Humero, where we enjoyed tapas and margaritas, while a fire in the enormous fireplace kept the chill outside.

AGILITY YEAR-END REVIEW CONTINUED FROM PAGE 145

year the AKC will be represented by Daisy Peel and her Border Collie, Solar. Daisy had an outstanding performance at the World Agility Championships in the Czech Republic and is an experienced traveler and handler that will do well without a doubt. In May of 2012 the World Team Tryouts were once again held in Hopkins, Minnesota. This exciting, fast pace trial determines who will represent the AKC/USA at the World Agility Championship, which this year was held in Czech Republic. The first team to be invited by the FCI agility organization from the AKC was in 1996. When the invitation was received by the President of AKC, then Judy Daniels, and the challenge to me and then Vice President Bob McKowen was to find the fairest method of choosing a team. That is how the World Team Tryout event was developed. The scores and placements sort out the top handlers and dogs when they compete head to head on the same surface, judging and courses and at the end of three days the AKC/ USA World Team has been named. When the team was chosen, the very capable coach, Nancy Gyes, worked with the team and this past year held two practice sessions for the team, one in California and one in Oregon. This event will be held in the same location in May of 2013. The following October the FCI World Agility Championships were held and the AKC/USA World team boarded the planes with their dogs for Liberic, Czech Republic. The very first day of the competition the 26” jumping large team won Gold to start out a very winning four days of competition. Many placements were awarded in the Small (14” jump height), Medium (18”) and the Large (26”) teams and also in the Individual competition. There were 38 countries represented and for the first time a team from China competed. In 2013 the competition will be held in South Africa. It will be unlikely that the AKC attends due to the high cost and distance and difficulty of flying a dog to Johannesburg. Many countries petitioned the FCI to change the location but they were not considered.

he last large event for the program in 2012 was the AKC Agility Invitational held in Orlando, Florida in December for the second time. The second time in the same location is always easier and offers improvements on what the staff didn’t like the first year. There was better grass for the surface due to ordering much thicker pieces. Also, the addition of a ring to add up to three rings definitely was an improvement. The exhibitors were finished much earlier in the day instead of late into the evening as the previous year. Also, the dock dogs were in a different area and did not bother the agility rings. The use of the latest invention of computer guru, Steve Herwig, Agility Rep., proved a popular addition for the exhibitors that are very computer savvy. It is called Ringside Results that was tested at the World Team Tryouts and implemented at the Invitational. Within one minute of the exhibitor exiting the ring the scribe sheet results were posted on the new website of “AKC Agility Results.com”. The handler could immediately on their own phone or computer check their scribe sheet results. The standings and many other results are posted almost as fast on the numerous computers set up for the exhibitors to watch their progress in the classes. This year the Invitational had a very high “Q” rate of nearly 70%. This most likely was due to the better surface of grass and the improvement of handlers and dogs. The entry of 705 dogs with 610 handlers was impressive. All the different breeds enjoy their time in the limelight as only five per breed are invited. There were 44 Junior handlers in the separate Juniors competition. This is the future of the sport and it was very successful with great parental support. Once again Time 2 Beat was offered and there were 622 entries. One of the 2012 events that had to be postponed due to the severe weather on the East coast was the AKC Agility Reps meeting scheduled in Raleigh. It has been moved to mid-January 2013. Every four years the AKC Agility Advisory Committee meets and 2013 is the year. It will be in August in Raleigh. This panel is composed of AKC judges and the staff whose task it is to keep agility growing w and successful with meaningful changes an that will add to the sport.

best one. You judge the proportions, the type, conformation etc.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 149

HOW DO YOU PREPARE FOR A JUDGING APPOINTMENT? The first thing you do when you are invited to judge is to familiarize yourself with the breeds you are to judge. Judge by type of dog you have in front of you – according to the type Molossoid, Lupoid, Braccoid, and Graioid. Different types, different judging styles. Take group nine [toys – YG] for example – the Pug is a small Molossoid with round head. It helps a lot to know the type you have in front of you. WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES WHEN JUDGING? Judging according to type is the most important thing! A good dog of good type – defines the type of the breed. Many times a judge is in trouble if you have some rare dogs or are judging a breed without a specific type, there are different ones. The type defines the breed, there is only one type. What is a type – when you look at the dog you see the overall dog, the proportions when entering the ring. You will have maybe 4-5 dogs and you will see them when they enter the ring. The best dog will almost be picked at that specific time as the first impression is almost always the

WHAT ARE THE PITFALLS OF JUDGING? Sometimes we judge well and sometimes not that well. Decisions are sometimes made too fast and we have a hard time changing our mind. It is important that you look back after the day to analyze it and see if you did a good job - many times you feel you were wrong. Judge by type, proportions and conformation. The bone structure, top line, how the dog stand and moves. Make sure you judge all dogs he same way, both the good ones and the bad ones. You need to judge them correctly even you know they are bad - judge correctly. You should be nice to everyone, look at them and be nice. Try to explain why their dog isn’t good, be polite. WHERE WOULD YOU SAY ARE THE TOP DOGS IN THE WORLD TODAY? I have judged in top countries and big shows but Scandinavia has the best dogs in the world today. When you go to a country you need to see the quality of the dogs they have in that country and judge accordingly. But when you treat us as “natives” you don’t help us to develop our breeding. You should treat us as a quality country and judge accordingly. Nowadays we should judge the dogs first against the standard and then place the dogs in the ring. What is the meaning of the standard? The dogs should get excellent, good or sufficient. Judges need to know the meaning of the standard and understand the titles and judge accordingly. Today a lot of judges give “excellent” instead of using the entire gamut of scores at their disposal. Unfortunately Israel is a small country and completely isolated, it’s a pity but true. So it’s not easy to breed. That is the reason why a judge should first observe the class and then place the dogs. It’s better to see all the dogs first, to see the overall quality in the ring and then judge – according to the quality of the country. Judges are not gods, especially when it comes to judging puppies and “babies” – we don’t know the evolution of the dogs – as an all-rounder. There is no “baby” or puppy class in FCI, only Junior and up. WHAT ARE WE MISSING AT DOG SHOWS NOWADAYS? Today we are judging a breed according to standard but it’s a beauty show. The working class is more important as the dog has a function! Huge Labradors, monsters, they can’t hunt! We have to compromise

between beauty and function. Today some of the countries in FCI are including instinct trials before the dog can become a champion. In a working breed, we need to know what its function is. Today on a national level they do sheep trials. You should change your rules and use instinct trials to become champions, use minimum points! Step by step move over to that way of judging. WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON JUDGING AND HEALTH? A few years back the UK started to have problems with their dog shows – The Kennel Club panicked and changed a lot of standards in order to compromise with the media - due to breeds with a lot of diseases etc. There is a need to study more about genetic diseases. There are tests that need to be done, especially HD and ED. HD is more important to test and ban breeding bad dogs. Unfortunately you can’t see genetic diseases in the ring so it has to come from the breeders. What then can you actually see when judging? Take the Shar Pei for example – they have a lot of wrinkles which can cause skin diseases. This changed a few years ago and today they are much less wrinkled, only around the neck. If I have doubts and think the dog has HD I will ask the handler in the ring. The German Shepherds are lovely; had many but I really don’t like the people due to what they have done to the breed, both in temperament and the exaggerated hind; they are very special people. WHAT IS THE SITUATION IN SPAIN AND PORTUGAL? In Spain they control the litters. 20,000 dogs are born in Spain every year but only since 7-8 years back they started controlling the litters: where they come from, who the sire and dam are. They even ask for DNA tests of the puppies due to health problems. It’s expensive but you have to control it. There are about 5,000 litters per year so they can’t go to everyone but if they have doubts they go there. This is a way to control the diseases as much as it is possible. The Portuguese Kennel

Club is now spending more money on dogs than before, on technical areas and health issues. WHAT ARE THE ETHICAL ASPECTS OF JUDGING AND WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO NEW JUDGES? There are a lot of ethical issues when judging dogs and I have had a lot of bad experience with a lot of judges. I believe it needs to be out in the open, we need to speak about it. If you get an invitation to a show and accept it, you should not compromise your honesty! Judging is a hobby, judges are not professionals. They only get a fee from FCI to cover their expenses – no more. An issue is that you can’t travel with an exhibitor you are judging the next day. Another is that the person who invited you shouldn’t show his dogs at the show. That is a common problem. You have to be very careful with the ethical issues as a judge. YOU KNOW THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AND ARE ON GOOD TERMS WITH MANY, WHAT DO YOU DO IF AN ACQUAINTANCE SHOWS UNDER YOU? You can’t avoid that people you know will show under you. It happens, so what can you do? It’s difﬁcult, but I may counteract and place this person’s dog last. It very much depends on the mood; judges are only humans. HAVE YOU ENCOUNTERED CORRUPTION? Corruption is terrible and there is a lot going on in the dog world. Strong words but true – judges get money for judging. I have never been offered money to judge. Someone told me once to place a certain breed as BIS but I didn’t and the person didn’t speak to me afterwards. This is more common in Eastern CONTINUED ON PAGE 234

European countries. If we have proof of corruption when we judge we have to notify the FCI. There is also a lot of lobbying in the dog world. “I judge your dog and you judge mine”. It’s very stupid as we all love dogs and this should be a hobby. SO HOW DO YOU MAINTAIN YOUR INTEGRITY? As a judge, you need to control your expenses and be honest when you ask for the money back. It’s very expensive to organize a show and one of the expenses is the judge. In some countries there are not enough judges so you need to invite judges from abroad and that is expensive. Be honest! Some clubs also pay according to the amount of dogs you judge. That is not a norm in Europe but it can be thousands of Euro’s for a weekend. Don’t accept it! Sometimes the club you are invited to judge for also offers you a judging fee – don’t accept it. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE NEWER JUDGES NOWADAYS? I have many doubts that the new generation of judges will be professionals, things are getting worse. It’s important to love judging, it’s not a profession. It’s bad for the dog world to have professional judges as they are easier to corrupt. The most important issue is that you must love dogs and you believe this is your calling.

Remember that as a judge you are at the end of the line: first you need the breeder, then exhibitor, the show and only then you need the judge! We are the last in the chain – it should be simple and you should love the dogs. Things are going the wrong way. HOW DOES YOUR JOB AS A JUDGE AFFECT THE HEALTH ISSUES? Two things – judges can’t see most issues and if they see they can’t say much. The FCI has changed standards to include disqualification of unhealthy dogs. 80% of the judges don’t do it yet. The FCI has to educate the judges. The Pekinese had a flat nose 50 years ago but it disappeared and now it’s coming back. There was even an issue with The KC that asked for the standard of Ridgeback to take out the ridge in the Ridgeback? Why? WHEN YOU ARE TO JUDGE A LOT OF BREEDS IN A DAY WHAT DO YOU DO TO REMEMBER THE STANDARDS? I read the standards; check the disqualifying points per breed. I bring the standards with me to read on the flight etc. It is really difficult and that is why the steward is so important in the ring.

Luis Pinto Teixeira

IF IT’S A NEW BREED, HOW DO YOU ANALYZE IT? First thing is to define the type of dog. Read the standards and learn specific points in each breed – memorize it. You should know at least 4-5 points of the breed you have in front of you. One time a big white dog with a big lady entered the ring. I had no idea what breed it was so I called for the chief steward. The chief steward laughed and said it was a breed that wasn’t approved by FCI yet but I should judge it. If there is no standard how can you judge? Nevertheless, I approached the two large creatures when the dog charged at me and within seconds tore my new suit into tatters. I summarily disqualified it without having to give it a critique and told the lady she would have to reimburse me for the suit.

walk down any supermarket or beverage distributor beer aisle will reveal selections from Flying Dog, Thirsty Dog, Sea Dog, Laughing Dog, Sleepy Dog and Hair of the Dog breweries, among others, offering brews for all tastes with canine-inspired names such as Labrador Lager, Puppy’s Breath, Turbo Dog, Old Leghumper and Crotch Snifﬁng Bastard. Craft and microbreweries aren’t the only ones employing dogs to help appeal to the masses. The Miller Brewing Company has brought back the Red Dog brand, originally released by its Plank Road Brewing division in the mid-1990’s, and Anheuser-Busch, which was purchased by InBev for $52 billion in 2008 and accounts for the most beer sales annually in the US, has masterfully engaged consumers over the years with various advertising campaigns for its Budweiser and Bud Light brands featuring dogs, from the Bull Terrier party animal known as Spuds McKenzie, to the Dalmatians accompanying Clydesdale-drawn beer wagons, and the beer fetching rescue dog Weego that was the sensation of the 2012 Super Bowl commercials. So what is it about the relationship between dogs and beer that seems to be as American a match as baseball and hot dogs? “Dogs and beer are a great relationship,” said John Holl, a dog owning, craft beer connoisseur and blogger, and author of the forthcoming American Craft Beer Cookbook (Storey Publishing), due out in August 2013. “Brewing is a lonely profession. In American craft beer these days many brewers work alone. In a small brewery you are literally working by yourself. Maybe you have an apprentice with you but it’s basically the brewer and you know, man’s best friend. The dog is right there with them. Brewers spend time measuring grain, shoveling hops, and the dogs are just sitting by their side. It’s only natural that brewers would pay homage to ttheir dogs by naming a beer oor in some cases a brewery aafter them.” Such was the case at Su Smuttynose Smut Brewing Company, Co where Olive, a WeimaranerO Brittany Spaniel mix, B served as inspiration se and the cover model for the craft brewery’s Old

Brown Dog Ale. “Olive was my best little friend in the world,” said Peter Egelston, Smuttynose’s founder. “She came to work with me every day and became a permanent fixture at the brewery.” “Old Brown Ale existed before we had Olive but in draft form only,” explained Egelston, who was the head brewer at Northampton brewpub before launching Smuttynose. “It was known as Brown Ale Number One because it was the first brown ale I made. I realized I needed a better name. Old Brown Dog popped into my head literally as I was tapping it for the first time. When we started bottling it in 1994 we were confronted for the first time with creating a visual image that matched the beer. Joanne [Francis, Egelston’s longtime partner and girlfriend], who is the art director and has designed all of our packaging, said, ‘Well, we own a brown dog’ and I said, ‘we do, don’t we.’” The William Wegman-inspired photo shoot resulted in the regal Olive gracing the label and containers of Old Brown DOGS SHO DOGS DO HOUL OUL ULD D NE NEVE VER VE R Dog Ale.

hit among dog owning consumers that the brewery became inundated with inquiries about her well being, along with unsolicited pictures of dogs. “Hundreds and hundreds of people have sent us pictures of their dogs,” said Egelston. Thinking it was a great way to connect with people, Egelston started a “pin-ups” section on the company’s website, where consumers can post photos of their dogs. “There are even some cats on there and one person sent a picture of a pet chicken,” he said. Visitors to the Smuttynose Brewing Company were shocked to be greeted by Olive (1991-2007), ‘the iconic mascot and spirit guide’ of the brewery, and to discover that she was the founder’s actual pet. They often reacted as if meeting a celebrity, for while many dogs have been memorialized on beer labels, Olive may be the only one to be featured on two; she was also the inspiration behind Really Old Brown Dog Ale, one of the signature “Big Beers” Smuttynose makes in limited supply each year. “Really Old Brown Dog began as a tribute beer to Olive,” said Thompson. The label features the 15 year-old Olive curled up on her favorite armchair on the beach where she used to roam. “She passed away by the time it came to market, so it’s become a memorial to Olive,” said Thompson. Really Old Brown Dog is a signiﬁcantly stronger beer, a much more complex, malty take on the Old English style of ale that packs 10-11% alcohol per volume. “We only make 200 barrels at one time and it goes quickly,” Thompson said. “It’s one of the most popular of the ‘Big Beer’ series and always sells out.” Naming a beer after a dog is more than just a calculated marketing strategy, according to Thompson. “A lot of it is pretty organic,” he said. “This section of the beer industry is

iconoclastic. It’s people who want to be their own boss. A lot of people have dogs. A lot of coworkers have dogs. We’re a very dog friendly company. It’s not unusual to have eight dogs in the building at one time.” That’s an impressive number considering that there are less than fifty employees, many that work in areas where dogs aren’t permitted for safety reasons. Holl concurred, “I really do think it’s more than a marketing gimmick. It’s a personal extension of the brewery if they are naming them after their dogs. They love their dogs. They want to share that with their customers. It’s not so much marketing as it is a really nice personal touch.” “A lot of people’s first introduction to that beer [Old Brown Dog Ale] was because they like dogs,” Egelston said. “That’s the first reason people bought that beer, because of the dog on the label. A dog may get people to buy it the first time but it’s got to prove itself with the liquid that’s in the bottle.” Egelston, who has since gotten a new dog, another Weimaraner mix named Myrtle, has no immediate plans to replace Olive, on the labels or otherwise. “The further Olive recedes in memory the more perfect she becomes,” he said. As the human-canine bond has changed over the years so has the dog’s role and image, but its place as a ‘brewdog’ remains firmly entrenched. “Cats are great in breweries because mice like grain and cats eat mice but dogs bring a soul to breweries,” explained Holl. “Dogs are a friendly lot as well.” The image of being dog friendly is perhaps no more apparent than in Colorado, the epicenter of the American craft beer explosion. The inaugural Great American Beer Festival was held in Boulder, Colorado in 1982 and moved to Denver in 1984, where it’s been held ever since. Tickets for the 2012 festival sold out in minutes and over 49,000 people attended. Colorado is home to over 160 craft breweries (there are more than 2,100 in the CONTINUED ON PAGE 246

U.S.), and many of them boast their own brewdog. Becky Bennett, along with her husband Brian Bennett and her daughters, Lauren and Kristen Olson, have put together a fascinating coffee table book, The BrewDogs of Colorado, which features 70 photos of these brewdogs (many with beer related names like Porter, Brewer and Barley) accompanied by interesting and amusing anecdotes from their brewers/owners. It’s as welcome an addition to a dog lover’s library as is a citrus infused, quality craft brewed pale ale on a summer’s day. “The majority of the brewers we contacted had dogs, and we came to discover that over ﬁfty per cent of the dogs in our book were rescue dogs,” said Becky Bennett. “Part of the reason people choose to live in Colorado is their passion for the outdoors which includes of course a canine companion to enjoy it with. Whether you are hunting, ﬁshing, camping, hiking, or just hanging out, your dog is just part of the scene. Beer is also a big part of the Colorado culture, especially good craft beer…It’s great to sit down with friends after a fun day outdoors to share a beer and swap stories. Our book, The BrewDogs of Colorado, celebrates the love of dogs, beer and Colorado. Our popular tag line says it all; ‘Dogs, Beer, Colorado...it doesn’t get much better’! We have some great photos, and stories from our brewers about their dogs; some very humorous, some very poignant but all showcase their unique personalities and relationships.” Among Colorado’s brewdogs are Bunni, a Shiba Inu who accompanies Rockyard Brewing Company’s brewmaster Jim Stinson on his deliveries because he said it’s “the best way to keep this pup out of trouble at home,” and the Dillon Dam Brewery’s Alaskan Malamute/Grey Wolf mix Syndy Lu, who went to work every day with brewmaster Matt J. Luhr and stayed under a picnic table. When Luhr had a fall from a ladder and subsequently passed away in a Denver hospital from a brain aneurism, Syndy Lu, nearly 100 miles away, reportedly emitted an inconsolable, soulful howl for seven and a half hours. The book includes a foreword by longtime dog owner and former Denver Mayor and brewery owner John Hickenlooper, who writes, “I am well aware of the special bond that exists between a dog and his owner. Everyone in the brewing

business knows that the long, sometimes The BrewDogs of the New lonely work hours can be shortened by Belgium Brewing Company the company of a dog or the expectation photo by Brian Bennett of that enthusiastic ‘welcome home.’” “It takes a long time to brew beer,” said Bennett. “Dogs are the brewers’ constant companions and they have a special connection with them. By naming beers and breweries after them it’s a way to honor their dogs. Some of the dogs have passed away and the brewers want to memorialize them.” Brewmaster John Maier of Rogue Ales Brewery in Newport, Oregon even hosts an annual dog and beer festival in memory of his beloved black Labrador retriever, Brewer, who passed away in 2006 at the age of 13. A celebration of “dogs, microbrew and music,” the festival has made a bid to the Guinness World Book of Records to be acknowledged as the “biggest beer and dog festival”. So for the application hasn’t been accepted, but Rogue hasn’t been deterred. Last year’s festival boasted attendance of 3,200 people and 810 dogs. Held inside the brewery, this year’s festival, the seventh annual, will feature over 50+ microbrews, live music, doggy musical chairs, dog dancing, a dog wash and celebrity look-alike contests. Proceeds beneﬁt Oregon Coast charities including the Newport Police Department K9 unit, the White Wolf Sanctuary, the Lincoln County Animal Shelter and the Central Oregon Coast Humane Society. Holl perhaps best sums up the connection between mankind’s love of dogs and beer. “If I’m sitting enjoying a beer on the couch and I have my dog next to me it’s a good day,” he said. “And for brewers to name a beer after them, it’s even better. The life of a pet, unfortunately, is short and it’s a great opportunity to keep a memory alive. Even if people never get to meet them their legacy lives on. It’s a sweet thing.” Indeed it is. Cheers to two of life’s greatest pleasures: great dogs and great beer.

ndeed the total number of all-breeds Beckham has to his credit so far is 122 and that was with limited campaigning in 2012 to boot. The fact is that he was actively campaigned by the well known and respected husband-wife team of Linda and Michael Pitts for only two years--2012 and 2011 and six months into 2012. He has been exhibited sparingly since then but conquered all at the very prestigious 2013 Spaniel Club held in Knoxville, Tennessee to the thrill of his co-owners Bruce Van Deman, Carolee Douglas, Mary Walker, Cindy Cassidy and breeder and co-owner Linda Moore. Just to give you an idea of the background and breeding experience of this consortium of owners a total of 120 years combines the experience and devotion of these people in and to the breed of the Spaniel (Cocker) Black. What an achievement and what a history behind this dog!! Donít you agree? And then combine that fact with an exuberant and magniˇcent show animal and handlers extraordinaire of this breed and variety and success is basically assured and most predictable. D Magazine warmly welcomes Beckham into this group of illustrious and famous show dogs! And now to prove how imperfect I actually am is the fact that I failed to list the achievements of the Giant Schnauzer, only the second exhibit from the Working Group--the ˇrst being the Doberman Cryptonite, as a Member of the 100 Club. I refer of course to Ch. Galileeís Pure of Spirit a bitch which was the number one exhibit all-breed in 2008 and certainly one of the great show dogs of her time if not of the century. She earned the honor of the 100 Club membership in 2008 which was the year she was awarded the Working Group at the Big W in a performance which to this day has the aˇcionados in awe! The bond between this bitch and her handler Taffy McFadden was one of the all-time relationships which existed between dog and handler but who amongst us can resist the talent and charm of Taffy? I know I canít! She was owned by Maryann

THE FIRST TIME SINCE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE 100 CLUB A SMOOTH FOX TERRIER HAS ACCOMPLISHED THIS INCREDIBLE FEAT.

Biscaglia and Mary Hayes as well as the renowned husband wife team of Carla and Joe Sanchez in the latter part of her career. Bred by Maryann she was a one of a kind exhibit and I apologize to all for having failed to report this achievement when it ˇrst occurred. Malachy was the only exhibit to be so honored in 2011 and one has to go back to 2005 when the last Peke earned this distinction. That dog exhibited by David as well was Eng. and Am. Ch. Yakee If Only. David discovered the latest top winner from the PalaceGarden Pekes whilst judging the Ventura Pekingese Championship show in the UK in May of 2008. Unlike in America where David is occupationally ineligible to judge, the British encourage talented and experienced breeders from all over the world to judge at the shows they hold. This was a great experience for David as the entry was 117 dogs, the largest entry of the year next to Crufts! A lesson perhaps for AKC to digest as years ago professional handlers were permitted to judge Specialty shows in the US. Perhaps our own priorities in this area should be re-evaluated if indeed it is the intent of those running these shows to truly ˇnd the best breeding stock instead of being so concerned with ˇlling judging slots with less experienced breeders. Most of Davidís winners at this show were PalaceGarden Pekes and when he got home he contacted the Smiths and asked them to send him a dog after carefully researching the pedigrees. He asked them if they had any stock available and in June of 2009 Malachy arrived as a ˇve-month-old puppy sight unseen by David. The rest is of course history as this little dog so correct in type, small, compact and unadulterated, shouting Pekingese arrived at Newark Airport. To say that Malachy stole the hearts of the American dog show world is to understate the case and his Best in Show at the famed Morris and Essex Show clearly cemented him as one of the great Pekes of our time. Co-owned by Sandra Middlebrooks and Iris Love, with David, both ladies are wonderful clients with whom to work. Ever mindful of the importance the role of handler plays in exhibiting dogs, Sandra Middlebrooks and her husband Butler rely on Davidís decisions, always saying, ìDavid, whatever you think is best--you know what you are doing.î An attitude other clients would do well to learn from as Mrs. Middlebrooks has evolved into one of the premier sponsors of the best of purebred dogs. What a team--what a Peke-- and you better believe there will be more to come--for sure. For the ˇrst time since the establishment of the 100 Club a Smooth Fox Terrier has accomplished this incredible feat. Becoming the 29th exhibit to accomplish this incredible feat GCH JíCobe Kemosabe Vigilante Justice, affectionately called Dodger, became the 29th dog in history to achieve the esteemed honor of 100 or more Best in Shows. Indeed this dog, which was also the Number One exhibit All-Breed for the CONTINUED ON PAGE 254

year 2010, actually recorded 105 All-Breed Bests. A grandson of the record-breaking Ch. Broxden Rio Oso Best Dressed (Tux), his pedigree is one to simply blow you away, with some of the most outstanding show and stud dogs and dams dominating throughout. One of the things which makes Dodgerís feat all the more phenomenal is the fact that today in America the Smooth Fox Terrier breed is one of the strongest in the world as specials class after specials class are marked by unusually high quality. Certainly the highlight of any Montgomery is to watch Smooths where in 2008 Dodger ˇnished his championship by being awarded Winners Dog and Best of Winners at the Specialty that year and was Best of Breed at Montgomery the following year, too. He broke the record for Smooth Fox Terriers in August, which was previously set at 70. But Dodger certainly could not have accomplished his incredible feats alone and fortunately for all involved a team was formed headed by Amy and Phil Booth, who formed and created his amazing career. Tux was brilliantly handled by Amy and so it was only natural for her to continue with his Grandson, which collaboration resulted in Amy as co-owner and handler with Howard and Sandra Hoffen as co-owners, as they were with Tux as well. Now at just 3 1/2 years of age everyone involved is looking forward to contributing to the Broxden/JíCobe/Kemosabe breeding program. Bill Dalling of JíCobe and Stacy Turner of Kemosabe Smooths, the breeders, have combined with the Hoffens and Booths to form one of the most formidable teams of owners and breeders in the sport of dogs. DOG NEWS enthusiastically welcomes Dodger and his team as members of the DOG NEWS 100 Club. As the ˇrst decade of the millennium century came to a close two more exhibits, both American bred bitches, became members of the prestigious and highly regarded 100 Club bringing the total number of dog membership to 27! Both the Standard Poodle Ch. Randenn Tristar Afˇrmation (whose call name is Yes) and the Scottish Terrier Ch. Roundtown Mercedes of Maryscot (whose call name is Sadie) were handled by two of the more respected and expert of professional handlers whose reputations in their breed and group are of what legends are made. Both Tim Brazier, Yesí handler, and Gabriel Rangel, Sadieís handler, are among the most respected dog men of our day, and it is particularly ˇtting that these honors have been earned and recognized by these teams of handlers and dogs. And as important and necessary as these recognitions are let us not forget the people and the history of both the breeders and owners of these two great exhibits. Yes is the fourth Standard Poodle to earn the bragging rights to be called a member of this great club preceded in time by her grandfather Ch. Lake Cove Thatís My Boy and her great-great-grandfather Ch. Whisperwind On Carousel. This kind of amazing use of line breeding by her breeders Randy Garren and Dennis McCoy (and co-breeders the Laceys) is a solid example of what dog breeding should be all about ñ a careful selection and

understanding of lines and genes which result in improving a breed carefully, selectively and healthily. Her owners Toni and Martin Sosnoff of Atalanta poodle fame have been long time concerned breeders of the Poodle and together with Tim and Yes have formed one of the most formidable and trustworthy teams of people and dogs to have been developed in the modern dog-world age. Teams like this are what help perpetuate our sport in the long run, and I am happy to say that the ìSadie teamî falls into a similar category as the team developed through the ìYesî relationship. Sadie is now the second Scottish Terrier to join the club, both bitches, and of course has set her mark both nationally and internationally. Competently and ably conditioned and handled by Gabriel Rangel she is an outstanding show animal whose presence is expected to be continued in the near future for sure. Gabriel of course has matured into one of the most respected and consulted terrier men in America, if not the world, whose opinion of a dog is solicited near and far. Combine this with the acknowledged breeding talents of Anstamm Kennels and Mary OíNeal (Anstamm of course being the team of Cindy Cooke and Bufˇe Stamm) and you have magical results insofar as the breeding of Scotties are concerned. And on the subject of magical of course are Sadieís owners, the Mussers, Amelia and Dan. To say that they are two of the nicest people in the sport is to understate the situation; but of interest, of course, is the background of Mr. Musser whose uncle George Hartman was one of the most respected judges in America in the ë40s and a director of AKC as well. Considering the backgrounds of these dogs, their owners and their breeders all of which and whom are steeped in the long term values and traditions of our sport one would have to conclude that not only is our conformation world growing stronger by encouraging dog show competitions but that the dogs and teams of people associated with them are adding allure and strengthening the foundation of the sport itself. Welcome ìYesî and ìSadieî to the 100 Club! In 2009 the ˇrst Pointer and the fourth Sporting Dog in American history joined the list of dog show exhibits to become a 100 Club member. Of particular interest in the case of Ch. Cookieland Seasyde Hollyberry, now the top winning Sporting dog of all time in terms of Bests, is the comparatively short period of time she had been campaigned in order to achieve this amazing accomplishment. Holly as she is called began her show career in late 2007 and was not camCONTINUED ON PAGE 258

paigned in earnest until March of 2008. This is probably the shortest time period in our history for an exhibit to have gained this monumental honor. And candidly up until the AKC/Eukanuba National Event she had never been ˇown to compete in a dog show! Imagine an American dog not only winning close to 90 shows in one year but also competing to become the number two exhibit all-breed without having earned one advantage mile for the handlers Michael and Michelle Scott until the last month of the year. Thatís got to tell you the regard with which Holly has been held by the American judging community. Watching Holly in action in the show ring is a very special experience as she never has for one moment let handler Mike Scott down. But as importantly is her attitude out of the show arena. Pointers do not have the reputation for being the steadiest of animals in crowded social situations. As a former owner of the breed I feel safe in making that generalized kind of statement. But I can tell you without hesitation this is not the case with Holly. After her glorious, well-earned and deserved National win she was introduced to the throngs of people celebrating the two-day event at the after show party. To the great credit of her breeders Cheryl Laduc, A. Cantor & A. Walker and of course her owners Sean and Tammy McCarthy and Helyne Medeiros, she walked into this buzzing room, took one look around and owned the place! Visiting table after table and one celebrant after the other as though they were long lost friends, while totally off her leash, she made friends of everyone. If ever one doubted a dogís ability to captivate and mesmerize a roomful of over 200 partying people just keep in mind the story of Holly on that night. When I wrote in the 2007 ëDí ì100 Clubî article that many exhibits were on the threshold of entering the elusive ì100 Clubî, the toy poodle Ch. Smash JP Win a Victory with ìonlyî 38 all-breed bests in show in 2006, was not high in my mind as a likely entrant. But Vikki, as she is called, deˇed all odds by winning 67óyes, thatís right, 67!óall breed bests in 2007, becoming the 23rd exhibit in AKC history to earn this coveted distinction. Furthermore, she is the ˇrst and only exhibit to achieve this distinction since 2005. She now has a total of 105 all breed bests as we go to press. And guess whatÖ this incredible show animal and truly great toy poodle is still going strong! Of interest to many people, of course, is that AKC did not ofˇcially award the Best in Show ribbon

until 1925, so that the span is over an actual period of 82 years in which, including Vikkiís award, only a total of 22 other exhibits have earned such a distinction. Personally, I am particularly pleased with her achievements, since I spotted her in the classes as a mere puppy and immediately asked Kaz Hosaka, her handler, about her. The rest, of course, is history. Bred in Japan by the most successful of breeders, Yukiko Omura of Smash Kennels, whose toy poodles are internationally acclaimed. She is an unstoppable show dog with an exquisite attitude. Her very presence demands your attention, and to deny her is indeed a most difˇcult task. Of course, Vikki is handled by one of the master handlers and craftsmen of our time, the aforementioned Kaz Hosaka. Originally mentored by Annie and Jim Clark, Kaz has earned the role of mentor himself! Today Kaz helps set the world standard in the presentation and exhibition of all poodlesótoy, miniature, and standard. He is a unique, loving caretaker of all his dogs, and in my opinion, one of the leaders within the professional handling community. This having been said, my not yet mentioning the owner of Vikki until now is done for a particular reason. The owner, of course, is Ron Scott. The reason I wanted to write about Vikki and Kaz ˇrst was to emphasize the dog aspect of the ì100 Club.î The human and practical side involves one of the great (and I use the word ìgreatî deliberately) owner-handler teams of our time. You know as well as I that it takes more than just money to put a dog over. How many people do we all know who have attempted to buy their way into our sport, only to fall ˇat on their you know what? Ron Scott has been involved for years and has remained committed to both dogs and to Kaz for what seems an eternity. This team has developed an unusual rapport and a friendship grounded in a loyalty hard to ˇnd in most client-handler relationships. Ron and Kaz stand out as a team for us all to admire and respect. ìDî Magazine warmly welcomes Vikki, Kaz, and Ron to the prestigious ì100 Club!î English and American Champion Yakee If Only, earned the distinct honor of becoming a member of the 100 Club!

new entrants, but in 2005, Jeffrey, as this exhibit is called, racked up his 124th All-Breed Best in Show, to the delight of his owner, Kit Woodruff, and his handler, David Fitzpatrick. Lest one wonder about this dogís credentials, keep in mind that he was number one exhibit All-Breed for the year 2005 and became the ˇrst Toy exhibit in history to defeat over 100,000 other exhibits in one year. In 2004, Jeffrey was number 2 All-Breed but had the most All-Breed Bests for the calendar year, with 58. His 64 All-Breed Bests in 2005 set a new record for Toy Dogs in a single year. And, yes, I failed to point out that these feats were accomplished in less than a two-year time period. His ˇrst show was late in January of í04, when, of course, he was awarded Best, and this past January Jeffrey just turned four years of age! Those are some pretty incredible ˇgures to appreciate, but his lineage is equally as dazzling to every respectable breeder. This is particularly true in these days of the so-called ìdesigner dogs,î whose breeders are attempting to pass off their own creations as purebreds, when, in fact, anyone involved in any form of animal husbandry is aware that these dogs are purely of a mixedbreed lineage. Letís talk a little about Jeffrey and the fact that his sire, Eng. Ch. Yakee Dangerous Liaisons, was the Crufts 2003 Best in Show winner, and that his kennelmate, Ch. Yakee Leaving Me Breathless (Les, as he was called), broke into the 100 Club in 2003 as well. And if you were wondering whether there is a common denominator in both of these dogsí pedigrees, the answer is a resounding yes. The exhibit Eng. Ch. Yakee For Your Eyes Only is that individual. The success as breeders of the owners of the Yakee kennel preˇx, Albert (Bert) Easdon and Phillip Martin, is worldrenowned. Nigel Aubrey-Jones and Bill Taylor introduced me to Bert years and years ago at a show in the U.K. The Yakee kennel is located in Glasgow, Scotland, and the over-25 years of successfully breeding Pekingese is the hallmark of their dog life achievements. But as we all know, it takes an awful lot to put a top-winning dog over in America. Kit Woodruff, who is a native of Colorado and who presently lives outside of Houston, has been a patron and owner of Pekes (and other dogs) for more than the past 10 years. She wisely selected as her handler the longtime involved, knowledgeable and very well liked professional handler David Fitzpatrick to work with her. This was to both show Jeffrey and to

develop her own breeding program. David I have known from his working daysóˇrst with Hermine Cleaver and then Mrs. Walter (Kay) Jeffords. While he started working for Hermine at the tender age of 14, it was in the Jeffords era that he fully blossomed and gained the dog knowledge for which he is so well known. With over 250 dogs of various breeds to work with at Mrs. Jeffordsí famed Chinatown Kennels (the great majority of which were Pekes), he became steeped in understanding animal husbandry to a degree few people in the dog world can lay claim to. This kind of invaluable exposure is what makes him a true dog person, entitled to at least one Group should he decide to judge, wouldnít one think! As for Jeffrey, when David ˇrst saw him, he was fearful that in America he would not be understood because he was ìtoo Pekey and too typey.î As far as David was concerned, this dog had nothing generic about him, but was, in fact, the perfect representative of what makes a Peke ìdifferent than any other dog.î He was delightedly surprised and happy to be wrong in these fears, as quite obviously, the American judges took to Jeffrey as one of their own. Welcome to the 100 Club, Jeffrey, David and Kit! In 2003, Ch. Yakee Leaving Me Breathless At Franshaw won his 100th All-Breed Best in Show award in an amazing 17-month period of time. ìLes,î as this British import is called, is truly a storybook dog. Since his ìbreathlessî debut in February 2002 in New York, where he was awarded Best of Breed at the Garden, he became the ˇrst Pekingese to break a 45-year-old record held by the famous Ch. Chik TíSun of Caversham for the most All-Breed Best in Shows to be awarded a Pekingese. As of this writing, Les has a total of 113 All-Breed Bests. Interestingly, his breeders, A. Easdon and P. Martin, showed and breed the Crufts 2002 Best in Show winner as well. The Yakee Kennel preˇx is known worldwide as one of the most respected breeding programs ever designed. Les has only added to this reputation as the cognoscenti as well as the lay individual continue to recognize this exhibitís outstanding attribute. Owned by John Shaw and Maria Francis and handled by Hiram Stewart, this team of individuals combines to make one of the most formidable owner/ handler teams in America today. Under Hiramís expert guidance and conditioning, Lesís rapid rise was

eagerly anticipated. That this exhibit succeeded in reaching the pinnacle of success it did came as no surprise to those of us in the dog world who recognize quality on both ends of the leash. Without too much fear of being contradicted, I think it is safe to say that the additions that achieved membership in the coveted DOG NEWS 100 Club in the year 2002 are two of the best-known exhibits to have ever competed on the American dog show circuit. Both were the Top Winning dog of the year in terms of points accumulatedóthe Bichon Frise in 2000 and the Kerry Blue terrier in 2001. I refer, of course, to Ch. Special Times Just Right, the Westminster and AKC/Eukanuba 2001 victor, and Ch. Torumís Scarf Michael, the Crufts 2000 and Montgomery 2001 victor. Both dogs were and remain internationally recognized and have had myriad American followers both within and outside of the Fancy. With the growth of the sport being encouraged by continuously growing TV coverage in many homes, both ìJRîóthe Bichonóand ìMickîóthe Kerryóhave become as familiar as sports or movie star names. Letís start with JR. When he was awarded Best at Westminster it, was his 98th all-breed achievement. He was exhibited three more times and won his 100th Best at the prestigious Long Beach June show in a ˇercely fought competition against Mick. He was exhibited one more time at the ˇrst AKC/Eukanuba Invitational, where once again he prevailed. While Mick did not compete, as most of you very well know, the breed and group competition at this show was highly competitive for not only were there great ìbraggingî rights involved, but both the breeder and owner received monetary awards of over $25,000 each! JR was the sort of showdog who never let his handler, Scott Sommer, down in the ring. He was always up and totally reliant as a performeróindeed, some may say overly extroverted, but this was said positively. Indeed, this very attitude is strongly supported by the Bichon Frise standard itself. Eleanor McDonald, who had the good fortune to see him win the Westminster event before, sadly, passing away prior to the Invitational, bred JR. Unfortunately another co-owner, Flavio Werneck, met an untimely death three months prior to the Big W. The happy news, of course, is that the third coowneróand if truth be known, the force behind JRís careerówas the gracious and lovely Cecelia Ruggles. Ceil and Scott have formed one of the most powerful and respected owner/handler teams within the history of our modern day sport, and JR now lives, most happily, at home with Scott in Houston. Mick, of course, is a British import who had mesmerized the dog show goers in the U.K. His victory at Crufts capped his career cross the pond. As of

this writing he has 109 all-breed Best in Shows and is still being exhibited, seemingly on a somewhat random basis. He is now six years old and was ˇrst shown in the States when he was four. He captured the hearts of most American terrier people in his initial California outing and continues to captive people today. On occasion his performance may have been somewhat erratic; however, when he is on, he is tough to beat. His handler, who has done an incredible job of presenting him here in America, is Bill McFadden. When Marilu Hansen brought Mick over from England, there was some talk that Mick might not have been able to withstand the pressure of American campaigning. Obviously the British show circuit and ours is totally different, and the American circuit much more demanding. Nonetheless, and I believe through the good works of Bill, the dog basically held up 95 percent of the time. Personally, I am not too sure how successful other American handlers would have been with Mick, since I saw him in England on numerous occasionsósometimes he showed well; others not so well. And that takes nothing away from the British handler Geoff Corish, who did a great job with him, particularly since the dog was truly a housedog of breeder Ron Ramsay and his family. Itís one thing when a dog stays with the handler all of the time; another when itís brought the day of the show or a day before for trimming. There is no doubt that JR and Mick will go down in history, both in the U.K. and in the States, as two of our greatest show dogs of all time. And perhaps even more importantly to the sport of purebred dogs is the fact that both are proving to be great sires, thereby only improving considerably the future for both the Bichon and the Kerry Blue terrier. We were delighted to announce in 2001 the addition of an American Toy exhibit, Ch. Ta-Jonís Tickle Me Silly, a Maltese, who has reached this incredible pinnacle and has now a total of 103 all-breed Best in Shows. A multiple National Specialty Show winner, Silly, as she is called, was also Winners Bitch at her National at only 14 months of age. Tammy and John Simon bred her seven years CONTINUED ON PAGE 268

ago. Since her retirement she has whelped three litters and is the proud producer of champion get. A credit to the breeding program of Tammy and John, which started in 1989. The ìTa-Jonî preˇx is established internationally as breeders of quality Maltese. Tammy personally handled this incredible bitch throughout her career. In 1998 she broke the record for Toy exhibits by amassing over 60,000 all-breed points. This record, in turn, was broken by a sharing Cross Shih Tzu two years later. Tickle Me Silly was owned and campaigned throughout her career by Samuel and Marion Lawrence. Sam and Marion now have the unheard total of four members of the DOG NEWS 100 Club!!! In addition to Silly, they owned the Doberman Pinscher Ch. Brunswigís Cryptonite, the Wire Fox Terrier bitch Ch. Registryís Lonesome Dove and the Black Cocker Spaniel Ch. La-Shayís Bart Simpson. It is unlikely that this kind of ownership will ever be achieved in our dogs exhibited by lifetime again. In addition the Lawrenceís through June 13, 2001 have been awarded 707 all-breed Best in Shows with all of their dogs! What a mind-boggling accomplishment. As a further point, three more exhibits entered the elusive 100 or more all-breed Best in Show Club since 1999. A Standard Poodle Dog, which was number one dog all breed two years in a row (1998 and 1999), Ch. Lake Cove Thatís My Boy, was awarded his 169th Best, while the Lakeland Terrier Bitch. Ch. Revelryís Awesome Blossom was awarded her 100th. Another member of the ìClubî which had been retired for motherhood in 1996 was brought out in April of 1999 and increased her all-breed bests from 133 to 161. She was the Afghan Hound bitch Ch. Tryst of Grandeur. And last but not least was the incredible and great show dog Ch. Anasazi Billy The Kid. Billy is owned by Bruce Schwartz and was handled by Wood Wornall. Billy was awarded his 100th Best in January 1999 and is the sire of three Best in Show winners, including the classy and top winning Welsh bitch owned by Bruce and campaigned by Wood, Ch. Wyndam Worth The Wait. Billy is but another example of the devotion which Lillian and Bruce Schwartz

have, both toward the sport generally and the Welsh Terrier breed speciˇcally. Blossom, who is owned by Jean Heath and Bill Cosby, had been retired to become a mother, but when the litter missed she was brought out again to join this exclusive group of show dogs. Shown expertly by Clay Coady, who in the same year retired from handling to begin a judging career, Blossom attained this coveted win early on in 1999. TrÈ is well-known to anyone associated with the world of the exhibition of the purebred dog. Shown by Dennis McCoy and expertly conditioned and groomed by his partner, Randy Garren, he was number one dog all-breeds for an incredible 24 consecutive months. He is attributed to be the number one non-sporting dog of all time and is owned by that dog person extraordinaire Mrs. Alan Robson. Tryst, of course, ended up top Hound in 1999, being shown only from April on. She is the top-winning hound of all time and broke the 100 in January 1996. The year before, she was the top-winning dog of all breeds. The owners, the Rechlers, father and sons, are well known breeders of Afghans, having long been associated with the Grandeur Kennels originally conceived by the late and great Sunny Shay. Michael Canalizo has been responsible for the incredible career of this bitch, as well as the presentation and promotion of the kennel and the dogs attendant thereto. It is interesting to note, of course, that all of the professional handlers associated with the three dogs mentioned above have now retired from handling and will now assume the role of professional judge under the American Kennel Club. We all wish them well in their new endeavors. As of the original writing, only 15 exhibits have been awarded 100 or more All Breed Best in Shows in the United States. Of this number, CONTINUED ON PAGE 000

four have actually been awarded 200 or more all-breed bests. Within the last several years and since 1990, the ranks of those dogs and bitches achieving these astronomical Best in Shows have practically doubled. Through 1990, only two exhibits had 200 or more Bests and ˇve others had 100 or more wins. Since 1990 two more exhibits surpassed the 200 high water mark and four others went over the 100 ˇgure! Considering the tremendous increase in the number of All-Breed championship events now being held in Americaóin 1994, there were 1,220 such showsóand with the ease of modern transportation, it wouldnít be surprising to see these ˇgures triple or even quadruple within the next decade. Certainly the astounding record of the German Shepherd bitch Ch. Altanaís Mystique is considered unbreakable today with her 275 allbreed awards. While the records of father and daughter Select Am/Can Ch. Kismetís Sight For Sore Eyes with 101 bests and his (daughter) Ch. Kaleffís Genuine Risk with 101 bests, both under the guidance of handler Jimmy Moses will probably never be broken either. Nonetheless, one must wonder whether any record is indeed unbreakableójust look at Lou Gehrig and Cal Ripkenís featóand keep in mind, nothing is forever insofar as record making is concerned. Indeed, when Ch. Rock Falls Colonel, an English Setter, succeeded in the very early ˇfties of being awarded 100 Best in Shows, whoever would have thought that some 44 years later he would remain the only exhibit to have been handled to this feat by breeder and owner Mr. William Holt. And this was the case even though his brother (Ch. Rock Falls Racquet) actively campaigned against him through the formidable team of owner Ellsworth Howell and handler Jane Camp (Forsyth). Who says owner/handlers canít win against the ëîbig boys?î Mr. Holt put exactly 100 Best in Shows on this dog. The next dog to achieve this number was the incredible Boxer Ch. Bangaway of Sirrah Crest, owned and bred by Dr. and Mrs. R.C. Harris. Bangaway was primarily handled by Nate Levine except when shown on the West Coast when Harry Sangster did the job. In the mid-ˇfties, it was more acceptable to ˇy only the dog coast to coast rather than the dog and its handler, which is why Bangaway basically had two handlers. To tell the truth, the practice of going out of ones territory for wins was probably introduced by Mr. Holt of Rock Falls Kennel fameólittle did he realize the

WHEN CH. ROCK FALLS COLONEL, AN ENGLISH SETTER, SUCCEEDED IN THE VERY EARLY FIFTIES OF BEING AWARDED 100 BEST IN SHOWS, WHOEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT SOME 44 YEARS LATER HE WOULD REMAIN THE ONLY EXHIBIT TO HAVE BEEN HANDLED TO THIS FEAT BY BREEDER AND OWNER MR. WILLIAM HOLT. inˇuence this practice would have upon the showdog of today! Bangaway was awarded 121 Best in Shows. The ˇrst imported dog and the next in line to go over the 100 mark was the Pekingese Int. Ch. Chik TíSun of Caversham, who had 127 Best in Shows. Bred by Mary de Pledge and Mrs. Herminie Lunham in England, Chik TíSun was imported to Canada by Nigel Aubry-Jones and R. William Taylor, and subsequently sold to Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Venable and handled in America by the beloved Clara Alford. He was the ìwinningest dogî of all time in America; his record maintained from 1959 until 1980, when the Standard Poodle Ch. Lo-Ginís Kiss Me Kate returned the record to an American-bred exhibit by achieving 140 Best in Shows. Louis Duncan bred Kate, who was owned by Mr. and Mrs. Jack Phelan and Terri Myers, and in 1979 she broke Chick TíSunís record before hitting the 140 BIS mark in 1980. Can you believe throughout that entire time period not one exhibit, and this through a twenty-year period, won over 100 Best in Shows? Kate was handled by Bob Walberg throughout her illustrious career. Now comes the early and mid eighties and not only is a rush made on the 100 mark, but, miracle of miracles, the 200 mark is made and broken by two exhibits! The ˇrst, the incomparable Scottish Terrier bitch Ch. Braeburnís Close Encounter, hit the 100 mark in 1983 and the 200 mark in 1986órecords which she held until the mid nineties. Shannon, as the bitch was known to the dog world, was bred by R.E. and H.M. Gurling and ˇrst shown by George Ward for her owner, William MacInne. In 1983 her ownership was transferred to Alan and Sonny Novick, and in 1985 re-transferred to Mr. MacInne. From the time she was six months old until her death in January of 1994, she was CONTINUED ON PAGE 000

kept by her handler, George Ward. For many years throughout this period, an intense rivalry between Shannon and another record-breaking dogóthe German Shepherd Ch. Covy Tucker Hillís Manhattanóblossomed. Manhattan broke the 100 mark in 1985 and the 200 mark in 1987. Manhattan won the Garden in that year, and Shannon won it in 1985. The two dogs, on more than one occasion, were shown against each other in Best in Show line-ups in the days when deals between handlers as when to show and when not to show were common. Deals, I might add, never entered into between Jimmy or George. If you think competition is hot today, the rivalry between Manhattan and Shannon and George and Jimmy was unbelievable. James Moses, of course, handled Manhattan for owners Shirlee Braunstein and Jane A. Firestone. He accumulated 204 Best in Shows and was bred by Cappy Pottle and Gloria Birch. Another import, this time Wire Fox Terrier Ch. Galsul Excellence, was making his mark during this period of 1986 and 1987 as well by breaking the 1OO mark with 103 Best in Shows in 1988. Owned by Ruth Cooper and the MacKays, his career was shortened by the unhappy ìMacKay affair.î Whether a dog should be penalized for the faults of an errant coowner remains an unanswered question philosophically in our sport even today, but certainly Paddyís career came to an early end. He was handled by Peter Green and bred by J. Galvin. Eventually he became the sole property of his then co-owner Ruth Cooper. As we entered the nineties, speciˇcally from 1990 through 1995, nine exhibits, three bitches and six dogs would break the 100 Best in Show mark, with two of them, both bitches, going over 200. As mentioned in the beginning of this story, Ch. Altantaís Mystique set the new record for wins with 275. A bitch who excelled at specialties as well as all-breeds, Mystique was owned by Jane A. Firestone and handled by James Mosesóthe same team which stood behind Manhattan. Mystique is in the Guinness Book Of World Records as the top-winning showdog ever. This formidable duo was shattered by Janeís untimely passing in December 1994, but hers and their devotion to the sport generally, and the German Shepherd speciˇcally, are what legends are made of. In 1991, entering this select circle of winners and record setters was the Standard Poodle Ch. Whisperwind On Carousel, owned by Dr. and Mrs. Frederick Harsock, bred by Linda Blackie and handled to perfection by Dennis McCoy and Randy Garren. ìPeterî accumulated 105 Best in Shows. He basically was shown in his home territory and truly not ˇown throughout the country to accumulate his victories. Similarly, the English Springer spaniel shown by Mark Threlfall for breeder-owner Julia Gasow and co-owner Herzig was a territorial accumulator of 103 or 104 all-breed bests. He carried the legendary Salilyn kennel preˇx and was registered as Ch. Salilynís Condor.

THE BOUVIER DES FLANDRES CH. GALBRAITH’S IRON EYES ACHIEVED THE WIN OF HIS LIFETIME WHEN HE WAS AWARDED HIS 100TH ALL-BBREED BEST IN SHOW WIN AT THE SANTA ANA VALLEY KENNEL CLUB. And lastly are the three dogs owned by Sam and Marion Lawrence, which set enviable and amazing records in the mid-nineties. First there was the Doberman Pinscher Ch. Brunswigís Cryptonite breaking the 100 mark with ease, with a total of 123 all-breed Best in Shows. Handled by George Murray and bred by R.G. and P.K. Farrer. His career was established and guided by the ˇrm hand of owner Sam Lawrence and the handling of George Murray. During Cryptoniteís campaigning, the Lawerences acquired the Wire Fox Terrier bitch Ch. Registryís Lonesome Dove, who probably exceeded even the wildest dreams of their owners as she accumulated 216 Best in Shows throughout her career. Handled by Mike Kemp again, Sam provided the course to follow, as Lacey just this past year broke Shannonís long-standing terrier record for Best in Show wins. And to top the cake, just one month ago, the Lawrenceís Black Cocker Spaniel Ch. La-Shayís Bart Simpson established himself as the top-winning sporting dog, beating the Springer record with 106 Best in Show awards. The handler herein was Bob Covey, but again the long and able guidance of Sam Lawrence was apparent to all. Bartís breeder is Sherry Marley. In 1991 the Bouvier des Flandres Ch. Galbraithís Iron Eyes achieved the win of his lifetime when he was awarded his 100th all-breed Best in Show win at the Santa Ana Valley Kennel Club. This outstanding exhibit joined the list of top winners campaigned and owned by Nat and Gloria Reese who were no strangers at all to top winners. With the handling team of Corky and Sue Vroom, the Reeses and Vrooms presented one of the most formidable top winning dogs ever to perform in the showring. Iron was bred by the GalbraithísóDavid and Joanówho have long been involved in the breed and have devoted many years to producing some of the top Bouviers to be shown in America. So there you have it, folks, the dogs that have set the records insofar as Best in Show wins at all-breed shows are concerned. Records no doubt meant to be broken, but these numbers, for whatever they are worth, add up to staggering successes of individual dogs over other dogs. They are imposing ˇgures, and while some may question the value of these types of wins, since we all agree there are many ˇne dogs that for geographic, economic or other reasons are shown only on a limited scale, the winning competitive spirit established by these dogs and their owners, handlers and breeders not only serve the sport well but add an excitement and interest which are impossible to beat.
