AKC DELEGATES REPORT One discussion by the Dog Show Rules committee The American Kennel Club held its quarterly Delegates concerned reinstatement of a dog following disqualification meeting in Orlando, Florida on Dec . 13 & 14, followed by for aggression . It apparently happens more often than we the AKC Eukanuba National show on Dec . 15 & 16 . The idea Whippet people are aware that dogs bite judges, handlers of combining Delegate business with a visit to the show or show officials . They are then disqualified, but can be was probably one reason for the large number of delegates reinstated if a committee of three judges examines the present . (My guess would be there were at least 400 ). dog and agrees it’s safe . Recently one committee member was badly bitten during a reinstatement examination; even Thursday, December 13 was devoted to Delegate when that doesn’t happen, how can the committee be sure Committee meetings, several of which were held the dog that was originally disqualified isn’t replaced by a simultaneously . It’s obviously impossible to attend all “ringer” for the examination? (Easily done in the case of of them, so let me just mention a few items . solid-colored dogs ). The dangers involved were highlighted The Canine Health committee announced another Parent when one of the Eukanuba World Challenge finalists was Club Health Conference for August this year . I trust the disqualified for aggression later in the weekend and could AWC Board will be informed directly . not compete further .
The All-Breed Clubs committee discussed the Owner- AWC PROPOSAL ON ICE Handler series, created to “celebrate the dedication and I spent a lot of time at the Dog Show Rules committee enthusiasm of owner-handler exhibitors ”.

(I would prefer fewer meetings and instead adding shows? Etc . etc ). a day or two to those that remain in order to save travel and expense for delegates who don’t live on the East Coast, The AWC proposal is meant to encourage rule changes where currently all Delegates meetings take place ). that would result in greater participation in AKC shows by novices, owner-handlers, breeder-judges and other The Parent Club committee addressed the Breeder of Merit neglected core groups . It has been the subject of lively and Parent Clubs of Excellence projects, which are being debate on the Delegates e-mail list and will also be revised, with suggested changes sent to the AKC Board . published in the Delegates newsletter . To have real effect it The AKC Dog Book was discussed; parent clubs have been needs to result in recommendations sent to the AKC Board, asked to contribute text and photos for the next edition, and however . The Chairman of the All-Breeds Clubs committee, obviously we in AWC are not alone in our concern about the Ann Wallin, suggested I should submit the proposal in a copyright contracts we were asked to sign . It was pointed out condensed form to her before the next Delegates meeting, that all AKC mail to parent clubs MUST go to the Delegate, and promised the issues will be discussed then . to the President and to the Secretary of each club; I’m not sure that’s always been the case in the past . For AWC members who are not familiar with the proposal, here are some of the suggestions: 1) A survey of novice The committee revealed that “Meet the Breeds” at the exhibitors and new fanciers needs to be conducted in AKC Eukanuba show got tremendous response, with 159 order to establish how they feel AKC shows could be more parent clubs represented . Unfortunately, AWC was not one enjoyable; 2) Some of the AKC restrictions on breeder- of them . I believe that omission will be rectified at next judges must be eased; 3) More titles should be added year’s show . This is a great opportunity to provide good PR — Junior Ch’s, Veteran Ch’s, Multi-Purpose Ch’s, etc ;. for our breed . 4) Spayed and neutered dogs should be allowed to be Also mentioned was that dogs that pass the Canine Good shown, if necessary in special classes, possibly not for Citizen test will be able to use CGC as a title after their BOB competition; 5) The dress code that demands handlers names, starting January 1st .

The afternoon’s caucus made it clear that AWC is not alone in feeling most AKC shows need to be more encouraging of 6 | THE WHIPPET NEWS JANUARY 2013 newcomers . Speaker after speaker agreed that they feel the The Delegate body is so large (every AKC member club future of dog shows is endangered by a decrease in entries, is represented) that it’s difficult for it to take united action caused by the fact that AKC shows don’t offer a particularly when necessary . As a new Delegate last year I didn’t enjoyable environment for most dog fanciers . Many of understand the sense of frustration felt by many, but I do us can probably take some blame for not being more now . It’s expensive and time-consuming to attend the welcoming to new exhibitors and spectators, but changes in Delegates meetings, but it’s the only way open for member AKC rules and restrictions would also help . clubs to participate in AKC affairs .
VIDEO HIGHLIGHT THE AKC EUKANUBA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP The minutes of the Delegates meeting, held the next day, The AKC Eukanuba National Championship, held over the are on AKC’s website . A highlight was viewing a brilliant next two days, was a really impressive dog show, with the 2-minute video (“This is Zephyr”), produced by Diana Chan, emphasis on “show ”. The many activities beyond regular junior handler and film student major . AKC could use it as a conformation judging meant that almost anyone who’s promotional tool for purebred dogs and dog shows . View at interested in dogs could find something to watch . If all AKC www youtube. .com/watch?v=ll1U-dpQbyU events resembled this one I’m sure dog shows would be much more popular with many more people . A main point of interest was the introduction of nominees for four vacancies on the AKC Board of Directors, to be Whippets were judged by Gretchen Bernardi . From an entry voted on at the Delegates meeting in March . Each nominee of 53, including 31 AKC champions, she chose as BOB was given time to briefly address the delegates . AKC GCh .

For promptly calling 911 and Bo Bengtson providing accurate information until the medics arrived, AKC Delegate Mary was presented with a medallion of appreciation by AKC President Dennis Sprung . Nobody who knows Mary will be surprised that her clear head prevailed in a dangerous situation . Most of us have some of her Delacreme dogs’ blood in our pedigrees; it’s our loss and AKC’s gain that Mary no longer breeds or shows . With no rule change to vote on, the remainder of the Delegates meeting was devoted to the financial report . Total annual AKC revenues of $51 .9 million through November were $1 .8 million below budget, and operating expenses of $49 7. million were $2 7. million below budget . This resulted in an operating profit of $2 .2 million for the first 11 months of the year . AKC investments to date this year were up $6 .8 million (versus last year, when there was a $1 7. million loss at this date) .

Missy,Missy, Muffin Muffinand Rourke and Rourke: A Holiday story of love and support for two Whippets and their owner in a dire time of need.
I was in Colorado visiting my elderly father over the holidays when I read a very sad message on the Whippet-L internet discussion list from a fellow member named Missy Ferguson on Christmas Day. She explained that she was due to be evicted Wednesday, January 2nd from her apartment in Flanders, NJ. She had 2 whippets she was desperate not to lose and was asking only for foster care for them. Something in her message struck a chord within me so I e-mailed her to see what the story was. Missy explained how she had lost her job as a corporate paralegal 2 years ago when it was outsourced to India. She had been taking care of elderly parents who had since passed and she had used up all of her savings just paying to live...like so many people do today when illness, tragedy or difficulties strike. She worked diligently to find a job but had come up short repetitively. She became ill herself a few months ago and was unable to work. She sold almost everything she owned to stay in her apartment, including heirlooms inherited from her parents and most of her furniture, but she had run out of funds and was headed to a women's shelter. She did not want to relinquish her beloved dogs (Muffin, 12 and Rourke, 7) and just wanted to know if anyone could take care of them until she was on her feet again. She originally had someone lined up but just before Christmas he took a job that required 12 hour shifts and neither felt this was fair to the dogs. To say she was desperate in her original e-mail is an under- statement. Missy with Rourke as a puppy
I e-mailed a few people who live on the east coast and a few who live in Missy's Muffin relative area and within a day we had 4 solid foster homes ready and waiting to take the dogs (even one Greyhound rescue person...those guys are amazing). However, it had also occurred to me that if she was indeed evicted it may be impossible for her to find an apartment that would rent to her in the future, and especially if she had dogs. I thought an eviction may end up in eventual forced relinquishment so I tried to figure out a way to prevent that. I asked Missy if I could raise one month's rent for her ($1085), would her landlord allow her to stay and give me a month to raise the remainder she was behind (October, November, December)? She said she would ask him on the 26th and she did. He told her she had to come up with 3 months back rent, January's rent, legal fees and court costs ($5094) by December 31st to keep from being evicted.
As precious hours passed, Missy was becoming more frantic and decided to make a plea to the list for funds. Many people became skeptical when a request for money was made publical- ly and that is when a complete angel entered the picture, Eliza- beth Gelb-O'Connor. Liz lives near Missy and was also sensi- tive to her plight. Originally she volunteered to foster the Whippets but when people started to doubt the legitimacy of the situation, she made the effort to go meet Missy. She videotaped Missy and the two Whippets as well as the property manager. After this, I spoke at length with Liz to try and figure out what the best way would be to help Missy. In the end, I decided it was worth trying to raise the money to keep Missy, Muffin and Rourke together and avoid sending senior dogs to rescue and Rourke their owner to a shelter.
50 | THE WHIPPET NEWS JANUARY 2013 My Whippets are everything to me. Everything. They bring me comfort, they love me un- conditionally and I depend on them daily for a large part of what keeps me going. I kept thinking how I would feel if my dogs were going to be taken away from me and honestly...I would have a hard time wanting to go another day. While I was supposed to be getting ready for my sister's Christmas party I snuck downstairs to her computer and made my request on Friday afternoon to the Whippet-L list and to Facebook. I asked the Whippet community to help and had no idea what to expect. I thought I would only be at the computer a few minutes but within seconds of posting I started getting notices of donations via Paypal. I ended up sitting in front of that computer watching the love and support flow for more than 2 hours. It was a sight to behold and definitely a prayer answered. I am not sure I have felt that good about fellow man in my entire life:-).
Many people apologized for not donating more. Some had been through similar situations and were paying it back. Some paid it forward and many donated in the spirit of 26 acts of kindness in memory of Sandy Hook. We had 2 very large donations but in the end, we could have made the bill due the landlord on donations of $50 or less.....the Whippet community stepped up that much. This truly showed me how every dollar helps, how a little effort made by many adds up to one huge effort to help someone who needs it most. In LESS THAN 8 HOURS we made the $5094 due the land- lord. Up to the time of this writing we have received $8784.07 from more than 85 donors!!! Liz presented Missy and her landlord with a check on New Years Eve for $5094. The remaining balance will be used to help Missy with dog food, any medications the dogs may need, gas for the car to get to job interviews and anything else that is needed to help keep Missy and her Whippets together. If we end up not having to utilize all of the donations we have collected, they will be donated to the Brigette Greenberg fund with WRAP which helps keep people and dogs together in hard times.
There are really no words to describe what this community has done. Someone asked. You answered. I have always been proud to be a Whip- pet owner and to associate with the people involved in our breed but never more than now. This was selfless and a community coming together in hard financial times. I am staying in contact with Missy and she is work- ing hard to find a job. She is also getting some assistance from the county to help supplement rent and food. The dogs are up to date on health care needs and have a full years supply of Heartgard and Frontline. I have a complete list of donors (which will remain private) and where each penny goes if anyone has any questions. If anyone is still interested in donating, just send me an e-mail.
To anyone reading this who gave to our friend in need, thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Christmas a true Celebration this year!
