Committed to dogs As Anne Macdonald retires as a Kennel Club Board member, she reflects on her experiences and the club’s bright future By Anne Macdonald

I will, without doubt, miss my average twice monthly visits to the Kennel Club and the meeting up with my colleagues, many of whom have become good friends. On the other hand, I certainly will not miss the rising at 4.30 am to drive to the airport to catch the first flight to London, the journey to the city centre and not returning home until the evening. Nor will I miss the days of preparation beforehand, going through and digesting vast quantities of paperwork and carrying it to the meetings. My postman too will be relieved not to have to deliver any more heavy packages, although recently with the systems in place in our new building, much can now be sent electronically. The Judges Committee which I joined in 2001 has a heavy workload which does not only involve review of judges’ questionnaires with recommendations to the Board but also deals with all issues concerning Breed, Group and Best in Show judges and judging policy. The Crufts Committee is responsible for arranging the Kennel Club’s own championship show with the support of the team in the Crufts office, headed by Vanessa McAlpine, who has the enormous

task of managing the whole event which now embraces every aspect of dog ownership and has become a window on the world of dogs. I have been attending Crufts since childhood, only missing a few years when I got married and had my family, and I

s I start to put my thoughts into print, I am acutely aware that my time as a Kennel Club committee member comes to an end this year after 20 years of service which covered a wide range of responsibilities. I feel very privileged to have had the experience of dealing with the sometimes complex issues which came before the committees on which I served, and to have seen our dog world from behind the doors of the board room, as well as from the outside. I have benefitted from my experience from the ‘grass roots’ as a breeder, exhibitor, committee member and judge over the years and can appreciate others points of view while not necessarily always agreeing with them. The workload of the Kennel Club today has grown considerably compared to the time when I was elected first to the Kennel Club Disciplinary (Scotland) Committee and I think the amount of voluntary work by those who agree to serve on the various committees and working parties, of which there are now several, is not always appreciated by those who are all too ready to criticise.

ANNE MACDONALD

will continue to visit the show for as long as I am able. There’s nothing quite like it anywhere else in the world and I feel proud as a past vice-chairman to have had a close association with this exceptional show. The Kennel Club’s new building in Clarges Street has been much admired, with justification, so I was delighted to be still in office and able to attend the official opening by HRH The Princess Royal last year. It goes without saying that facilities for members are much improved, working conditions for both committees and staff are first class and we have all benefitted from the improvements in communication. Without the responsibilities of committee work, I will now not be restricted by my diary when trying to arrange weekends away or evenings out with friends and I hope to enjoy some of the activities arranged for Kennel Club members. Recently, I have been elected to the newly formed Election Panel. It is intended that this group will convene several times a year to meet proposed new members at the Kennel Club on a day dedicated for the purpose. This will replace the current system whereby a limited number of those newly proposed are able to visit the club on the same day as a Board meeting to be introduced to the members of the Board. This means of introduction allowed Board members, often after a lengthy morning meeting, a very limited time to engage in conversation with new members before

going to lunch, which was felt unsatisfactory. As a result, and to speed up the admission process, it was agreed that a panel should be formed to meet and spend more time with proposed new members and their proposers during the morning, followed by a lunch hosted by panel members. It is envisaged that this new initiative will reduce the waiting time for acceptance of new members and will prove a more satisfactory, relaxing and pleasing visit for everyone involved. Although I am reducing my commitments to the Kennel Club, I have many other ongoing responsibilities as President of the Scottish Kennel Club and Chairman of The Hound Association of Scotland and will be continuing to judge in the UK and overseas. I also mean to attend some shows as a visitor when I will be able to study some of the breeds which I appreciate and which I seldom have had the time to do when judging myself. I will also have more time for my garden which brings me great satisfaction. The Kennel Club are at liberty to call on me at any time should they require my assistance as I certainly don’t intend to give up my prime hobby and interest after what so far, has been a lifetime of pleasure, largely due to my love of dogs. The Kennel Club has come a long way since I became a member 34 years ago and in this modern era, I, for one, am confident that the future of our club is safe in the hands of a forward thinking Board, who without exception have the interests of the dog at heart. ●

There were always dogs at home while Anne was growing up and following in her mother’s footsteps she began exhibiting in show and obedience as a schoolgirl. She bought her first Saluki in 1970 and owned/bred 13 champions including the bitch CC record holder Ch Saklawi Bishah of Mabrooka and her grandson Ch Mabrooka Jayid, one of the most successful dogs in the breed of all time who won the Hound group at Crufts in 2002, was second in group at Crufts 2003 and Top Hound All Breeds that year. Anne began judging in 1964 and awarded her first set of Challenge Certificates in 1981. She is now approved for 29 breeds, the Hound group and Best in Show at championship shows and is regularly invited to judge overseas. She became a member of the Kennel Club in 1981 and was elected to the General Committee in 2005. Until her retirement this year, she was Chairman of the Judges Committee and Vice-Chairman of the Crufts Committee. She is the President of the Scottish Kennel Club having been Convener for six years until retiring from that position in 2010. She is also Chairman of the Hound Association of Scotland, a club for which she served as Treasurer from 1982 - 2000 and assisted her late husband who was Association Secretary for 26 years. In her spare time she enjoys gardening, reading and dining out with friends.

of fulfilling the Kennel Club guidelines and willing to give up their time to help progress the scheme. It can be a great way to give something back to the breed and to maintain its traditions, but it may also involve much travelling and possible expense. What qualities will a good mentor possess? Unquestionable integrity and, obviously, a proven successful background in the breed; an ability to listen to the candidates and to assess fairly how much they understand; the ability to accept that just because a candidate may not have the same priorities as you do, this doesn’t necessarily mean they won’t make talented judges; the skill to explain your own thoughts coherently. One only has to look at the results of breed experts’ own judging appointments to realise that their views on the breed may differ dramatically. In some breeds, German Shepherd Dogs an obvious example, there are dramatic differences in the types different judges prefer. In the breeds I’ve been involved with, there isn’t, thankfully, such a split but the various ‘top people’ still often have vastly different priorities. Some are very keen on conformation and

movement; others love ‘quality’ and head type, and so on. I could therefore imagine that one mentor’s view on a candidate’s ability might contrast considerably with another’s. No doubt the cleverer candidates will work out beforehand what their mentor’s individual preferences are, and adjust their comments accordingly, but really that shouldn’t be necessary. Mentors will have to be able to put aside their own ‘bees in their bonnets’ and stick to the basics. It will be fascinating to see how this part of the framework turns out in practice. I for one hope that every breed quickly develops a network of sensible mentors who can give the candidates a fair chance. Perhaps breed clubs ought to be thinking already about how these mentors can be found, so that the framework runs as smoothly as is practicable.

ne aspect of the new Judges Competency Framework is likely to be crucial to the success of the scheme in practice. This is something new to the British judges training process – one-to-one mentoring. So important is this considered that to reach the level three stage (that is needing only a final assessment before being eligible to award CCs), judges will have to undergo THREE mentoring sessions of three different types with three different experts. Ideally, judges should undergo their mentoring sessions in this order: firstly, a breed mentoring day; secondly, watching the judging of a breed with a mentor; and finally, being a student judge in a ring. The job of organising all this will go to the Breed Education Co-ordinator. At this stage it is difficult to assess what the demand will be for this part of the process but I feel that especially at first this could be considerable. Many people enjoy judging and will want to participate in the framework to expand their horizons, and will have fulfilled the requirements to get them to this stage. So, we must all hope that every breed manages to come up with a sufficient number of expert mentors who are capable

Political progress

A vision for the future An update on how the Kennel Club are helping shape political policy By Ed Hayes General election 2017 – Kennel Club manifesto update The surprise announcement of the general election resulted in a rush to refresh our ‘A Dog’s Life Manifesto’ in time for the election. The updated manifesto reflected changes that have occurred to the political landscape for dogs since the election in 2015. For example, our 2015 manifesto called on the government to update current dog breeding legislation and incorporate the Assured Breeder Scheme (ABS) into the licensing framework. We were successful in persuading the government both to review the legislation, and on the merits of formal recognition of the ABS. Our new manifesto referenced this progress and laid out our new proposals of how the ABS can be formally integrated into the local authority licensing system. Alongside updating all sections of the manifesto, a new Brexit chapter was added. This section covered some key opportunities and threats Brexit presents to canine welfare in the UK. Over the course of the new parliament we will work hard to achieve the aims set out in our manifesto.

Holyrood Dog of the Year

Event on dog control measures In April we hosted a one-day seminar for local authorities on the use of Public Spaces Protection Orders for tackling dog related issues. These Orders, which have replaced Dog Control Orders, allow councils to restrict or ban dog access to public spaces, such as parks and beaches. Typically, councils will cite people not picking up after their dog, or loose dogs bounding up to people uninvited, as the reasons why restrictions are needed. The event, jointly hosted with the National Dog Warden Association, was arranged to share best practice in the use of these Orders, and, importantly, what dog-friendly alternative measures might be

In conjunction with Dogs Trust, we held the first ever Holyrood Dog of the Year competition in May. We were delighted to have 15 MSPs taking part, from across the political spectrum. Ahead of the main event, an online ‘paw-blic’ vote took place, with Bert, a four-year-old Greyhound, gaining the most public support. Bert, a great

ambassador for ex-racing Greyhounds, is owned by Mark Ruskell, MSP for Mid Scotland and Fife. On the day, all competitors entered the ring to be judged on the bond between MSP and their canine companion, and their record in standing up for dogs in parliament. The judging panel comprised of the Kennel Club’s Bill Lambert and Adrian Burder, Dogs Trust CEO, with Ruth Davidson MSP acting as a special guest judge. The winner of the first ever Holyrood Dog of the Year was Border Collie Maya and her owner Emma Harper MSP. The event was a huge success, improving awareness of the Kennel Club and canine issues within the Scottish Parliament. It received media coverage in the majority of the Scottish national papers, further raising the profile of the Kennel Club with the wider public.

able to achieve the same or better reduction in dog related anti-social behaviour. Representatives from around 40 local authorities from England and Wales were in attendance. Wide ranging presentations and talks were given by Kennel Club staff members, local authority representatives, a police officer and dog walkers. Since running the event, a number of delegates have been in contact with us for help and advice in developing measures to deal with their dog-related issues. This should result in fewer unfair restrictions being implemented across the country.

Meeting with policymakers in Scotland We’ve made considerable progress in Scotland in achieving our policy aims. With the government pledging to introduce a tail docking exemption for working dogs, regulate the use of shock collars, and review breeding and sale legislation. In conjunction with colleagues from the SKC we arranged meetings with a number of MSPs and civil servants to advance these campaigns. At the time of our visit, the department of Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform was actively considering the government’s draft tail shortening legislation. We presented our position on tail shortening to a number of the committee members and their fellow MSPs. Shortly after our visit, the committee heard formal evidence from Roseanna Cunningham, Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform. It proceeded to approve the draft legislation, which will advance to the full parliament for consideration and a vote. We will, of course, provide updates in a future edition of the Kennel Gazette. While the government’s work on shock collars is less advanced, current indications are dog walkers will be required to visit a government approved trainer or vet before being able to use a shock collar legally in Scotland. We are now working to ensure that restrictions are effective and guarantee that shock collars are only able to be used as a last resort option. Finally, we held constructive talks regarding legislation on the breeding and sale of dogs in Scotland, discussing how the ABS could help in improving dog breeding standards in Scotland. ●

Vulnerable but versatile

With a sound conformation and character, the Smooth Collie can turn its paw to almost everything, which makes it such a surprise to see it struggling in the popularity stakes By Sophie Harrison, Rough and Smooth Collie Training Association committee member

Oakestelle Sebastian Bach, Seb, the PAT dog

encouraged by the Rough and Smooth Collie Training Association which has its own long-established versatility awards. To achieve an award, dogs collect points across a minimum number of different disciplines and the number of Smooths featured on the club’s Roll of Honour is testament to the breed’s adaptability. The ability of the Smooth to turn its paw to so many disciplines is due in part to its sound physical construction (it is still very much ‘fit for purpose’) but is also down to its sweet temperament, high intelligence and trainability. When the trainers behind the world’s pioneering project in Israel to develop a programme of Alzheimer’s Aid Dogs were looking for a breed they had a complex list of requirements. They needed a breed that was trainable, with a good play drive and keen to work, without being overly active. A breed that was sensitive in its relationship with its handler but resilient enough to cope with unstable

here is probably not a Smooth Collie owner in the country who has not been greeted by the comment “What a pretty dog – what cross is it?” With under a hundred puppies born each year in the UK it is hardly surprising that many people have never encountered a Smooth. Yet this Vulnerable Native Breed engenders a form of evangelism amongst those lucky enough to live with one, and is so adaptable that it is eminently well suited to the increasingly broad range of activities on offer to 21st century dog owners. With one of the breed’s greatest strengths being its versatile nature, many dogs share their time between the breed show ring, a variety of dog sports and the family sofa. Indeed, the first dog of any breed to be awarded both a show title and an Agility Warrant was Jean Tuck’s Ch Dark Motif from Misstoff AW(G). In the UK, there are Smooths holding titles in a variety of disciplines: agility, rally, obedience – even Trick Titles! The unexaggerated structure, play drive and natural athleticism of the Smooth appeals to handlers in a variety of dog sports and modern positive training methods help to bring out the best in this sensitive breed. Agility handlers are increasingly appreciating the Smooth’s nimble, but careful, turn of foot and there have even been teams composed entirely of Smooths competing in Kennel Club agility competitions. In recent years Crufts has seen Joan Day’s Sharidon Polly Flinders represent Scotland in the Inter Regional Obedience Competition, and Smooths have also been involved in the Genting Arena displays of canicross and obedience. The Smooth Collie obreedience team has competed successfully in both the 2015 final and the current year’s qualifying heats, with the dogs involved having a variety of activities to their name. The teams have included a show champion, a number of PAT dogs, dogs with Gold Good Citizen Dog Scheme awards, agility, rally and heelwork to music titles and even one dog that worked sheep at a hobby level. The versatility of the Smooth Collie is actively

Jean Tuck’s Ch Dark Motif from Misstoff AW(G), the first dog of any breed to be awarded both a show title and an Agility Warrant

Therapy Dog Centre in Hod Hasharon, told the Jerusalem Report in 2009, “The Smooth Collie is an exceptionally stable dog, with a strong personality, but very sensitive to every subtle movement and mood of its owner.” Many countries include the breed in their assistance dog programmes and in Israel alone over 30 Smooths have been trained to support a wide range of conditions including Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, autism and PTSD. Whilst the Smooth is not yet a common sight as an Assistance Dog in the UK, the breed’s sound temperament can be seen by the considerable number working as PAT dogs in aged care facilities, hospices and schools. One remarkable PAT dog, Oakestelle Sebastian Bach spends time not only in the breed and rally rings but also visits a special needs school every week, supporting children suffering from conditions as diverse as paraplegia to non-verbal autism. Another exciting recent development has been the adoption by the organisation Support Dogs of its first ever Smooth, Blamorder Bubble Gum Chum. Hopefully he will qualify as an assistance dog for a sufferer of autism, epilepsy or a physical disability. Perhaps the greatest current ambassador in the UK for the working abilities of the

breed is Cownbred Finlay, Finn. A qualified search and rescue dog for the Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team since 2011, Finn spends his life on the high fells of Cumbria with his owner Stephen Garofalo. Donated to the Mountain Rescue Team as a puppy, Finn embodies all that is wonderful in this breed. His lithe athleticism, work ethic and steady nature enable him to cope with a working life that includes being winched in and out of helicopters and scrambling in the mountains searching for the lost irrespective of the weather conditions, whilst his sweet nature also makes him an adored family pet. In 2016, Finn was awarded the Mary Hardy award for Outstanding Achievement by the Smooth Collie Club of Great Britain. ●

The Smooth Collie as a vulnerable breed By Isobel Griffiths

n my opinion the whole question of vulnerability lies in a lack of publicity. If you are not lucky enough to have excellent connections which make your breed instantly recognised by the general public, and if you cannot ensure that prospective exhibitors will have their breed widely known and appreciated in the show ring, then your two main markets for puppy sales are lost. So breeders don’t have the incentive to produce litters (which they may not be able to sell readily) and registration figures suffer. A vast amount of work has been needed to change this situation, and I think that the Smooth Collie fraternity is aware of this, and has been working hard over the last few years to bring our breed to the attention of the general public. Perhaps the fault goes back a very long way. Has there, I wonder, been a sense of exclusiveness in the minds of breeders in the past which has discouraged them from publicising the breed too widely in case it becomes too popular? Certainly many Smooth Collie puppy buyers express surprise that they were not aware of the breed a lot sooner. Social media has certainly helped more than anything else to put our breed on the map, with many breeders and exhibitors, both at home and overseas, spending a great deal of time and effort with photographs, anecdotes and discussions, to introduce the Smooth Collie to a much wider audience.

Then there is the subject of health issues, which are always very much in everybody’s mind. Members of the Smooth Collie Club of Great Britain, with a great deal of help, both advisory and financial, are taking advantage of current scientific research to ensure that any problems are eliminated from the breeding programme. This is a subject of great concern within the pet buying market, so everyone is making sure that our efforts are given as much publicity as possible through the club’s magazine and puppy packs, as well as through the Smooth Collie stands at Discover Dogs which is one of our best ways of reaching the puppy market. The Smooth Collie Club of GB is the only club in this country to cater solely for the Smooth Collie. Breeds which are fortunate enough to have a large following very often have a number of clubs all offering their members much the same thing, and a Breed Council to co-ordinate their activities and to speak on their behalf is very useful, particularly when it comes to health issues and conserving the breed. The Smooth Collie Club has always dealt with breed matters within its very active committee and its members. There are, of course, advantages in being part of a larger and stronger organisation such as a Breed Council, but there are also many difficulties. The club however continues to consider whether this would be in the best interest of the breed. ●
