Joy Watkins: wife, Ruby, innocently asked me what I wanted for Christmas. In the fifty’s, sixty’s and early seventy’s, we were active in I have no idea why I wanted a Brittany. I knew nothing of field the Midwest Brittany Club. I served several years as Secretary, trials or bench shows, but I liked to hunt quail and pheasants Treasurer and some more as President of the Club. In all this but mostly I was a golfaholic. I had a real nice English Pointer time we have had one or more Brittanys, but only our first one female, and I knew that I had a bad habit of doing weir things was of field trial caliber. I take some of that back as I had Joshua when a dog would go on point. I shake, my voice changes, my de Lamont, but lost him as a young all-age, at the St. Louis trial, glasses fog up and I have been known to fire the gun before the car hit him out on the highway. He had his Puppy and Derby birds flush or fail to fire it at all. Funny thing, but I have never points so may have been a good one. completely gotten over it. We knew some people with Brittanys, We retired in 1972, so last winter I decided to try writing Neil Kelly, a neighbor and a charger member of the Midwest about our first Brittany and some of the experiences wehad Brittany Club, but I didn’t get charged up about Brittanys until with her and getting started in field trials. I happened to mention I saw a litter of twelve puppies belonging to Carl and Dorothy to La Reine Pittman what I was doing and she suggested that Carlson. The dam of these puppies was K-Haven’s Daisy May, I send it to you. She hasn’t seen it in fact no one has. It is not she was a Bench Champion and looked the part.

The puppies received the same care and attention and I I know it is quite amateurish, may be too long, maybe actual made up my mind to have one out of her next litter since these peoples’ names should not be mentioned. You will know all were all spoken for. Daisy May obliged with another litter of these things. twelve, sired by Bill Ackerman’s Skippy Allamuchy Luke, who I have in mind to go into the turning her over to a later became a Dual Champion. We soon discovered that our Professional Trainer and Hander, after she won her first points new puppy was quite precocious and staying in the pen with at the Ringneck Trial without any formal training.

However, we were having trouble with a name until Ruby’s Enclosing a copy of her Field Trial Record, not as extensive brother Jim, noting her reluctance to make up with strangers, as many other Brittanys, but she was not campaigned heavily, said, “She is right down spooky.” We both said, “That’s it.” and I hunted her every hunting season. I have one regret, I So Spook became her name. The Halloween part was added didn’t want to give up the time for her to have puppies, so did later when it came time to have her registered with AKC. She not breed her until almost six years of age, apparently I waited was very calm, even as a puppy, lying quietly in the back seat too long. of the car when on a hunting trip or going to a field trial but a Her individual picture was in the Magazine, after the bundle of energy once down in the field. I soon found out that Nationals but the cut is probably long gone. Copy enclosed is she would honor any other dog on point, with intensity, and not the best by may be readable. Think most of the words are that she loved to retrieve. She was also very independent in the spelled correctly, but punctuation may need some help. field, paying no attention to another dog, unless the other dog Sincerely, was on point. I had very little experience with bird dogs and Dwight H. Williams knew nothing about training one. But I recognized that as I said before, this one was different. I had very little time for her that A Halloween Spook For Christmas first summer, being in the grain business and big wheat crop in This one was different. I had been watching her form some Kansas. Something did happen that summer, however. Some time and I noticed that she seemed reserved, or aloof may be a friends and I went out to a farm pond to swim. I took Spook better description. She was not shy or timid, but not a pushover, along to get her used to going into the water as she seemed either. She was mixing it up with a wild and woolly crowd. They reluctant to go in on her own. We also took along a case of blue were all eating and drinking heavily and flights were breaking rock targets, a hand trap, shotguns and shells. After the swim out among certain individuals. The one I was interested in had we started doing some target practice. a dainty, feminine figure, with dark brown eyes and freckles on her nose. Her coat was dark red, trimmed in white. After a while I decided that I might just as well get to know her better, so I took her in my arms.

19 AKC Delegate Report from June 2019 Meeting

My first delegate meeting was held in June in Newark, NJ. Sunday evening I attended a breed and club sustainability meeting. The regular head of this group was not in attendance so the alternate ran the meeting. I took away little from this meeting but will again attend when the regular head of this group is running the meeting. It was discussed that each parent club should have a Breeder Ed group as well as the Judges Ed group. It also discussed that the Parent Clubs reach out to any AKC title holder that is not a current member of a regional club and encourage them to join a club near them.

Monday was all committee meetings throughout the day. I attended the Field Trail/Hunt Test committee as well as the Crop/Dock committee and the Parent Club committee.

The crop and dock committee discussed issues that are being handled by the AKC. As of right now each movement in legislature is handled on a state by state basis. If you have any indication of suggested legislature coming up in your state, contact the AKC Government Relations Department to notify them if they are already not aware. Currently they are actively working in New York State.

There was a very informative presentation by Sheila Goff on legislative issues. In this past fiscal year 2100 pieces of legislation affecting dog ownership was presented with 145 of them implemented by State and Federal government agencies. She said to beware of legislation that defines “Hobby Breeders” which can be regulated on.

The AKC is also very aware of the retaliations against breeders by other organizations. AKC has a task force working on a portal for notifying AKC if you feel you are being retaliated against by the end of the summer.

There was discussion on the importation of dogs for sale by rescue agencies. There are 4 agencies involved in the import process. AKC agrees there needs to be changes in the import process and will be working on that with the other 4 agencies involved.

There are major changes coming to the “Service Dog” rules that will be out around Oct 1. 2019. AKC is working with the hospitality, hotel and airline industries to come up with new rules for Service Dogs so stay tuned.

Tuesday was the general delegate membership meeting. Doug Ljungren presented “The State of the Sport.” He outlined the findings of each category and how entries were doing in each. Confirmation is holding steady with some increase in some regions. FT/HT and Obedience entries are down. The highest participation events are now CAT and FAST CAT with Fast CAT being the highest growth area. Tracking events are also high entry events. Rally entries are up slightly.

There were some changes made to the Dog Show Rules as well as Field Trial changes for retrieving dogs and voted in by the membership.

Next AKC Delegate meeting will be held in September.

Respectively submitted, Terry Hilliard

Coming off her recent win at the New England Brittany Grouse and Woodcock ABC Michigan Open Derby Classic Championship, Chancey broke away hard to the front and moved through the thick bottom objectives for the first 15 minutes. When the course opened up, so did she. Carding six finds, she even remained staunch in one case as her brace mate moved in front of her and was leashed. Another of her finds was intently handled with her front legs up on a log while the handler flushed both a cottontail and a subsequent quail. Finishing to the front, it was clear she had a championship hour. FC AFC Hy Steppin Libby’s Liebling owned and handled by Chris Sennott garnered the runner-up spot. Breaking away in the second brace, she ran a consistently forward race at a range pleasing for a foot handler. Her efforts were rewarded with woodcock find for her first bird encounter. Finds two and third were single quail, and she finished the hour with a covey find. Both judges commented that the quality of Libby’s bird work was exceptional.

Third place was awarded to Snikosh Hank’s Hatch, owned by Adam Daniel Freeman of Nebraska and handled by Bob Burchett. He ran a steady race, handling pleasingly to Bob’s direction; he pointed five different quail during the hour. His style and manners were very good and he was very entertaining to watch during the hour. Gun Creek Gangster was awarded fourth place again under the direction of Chad Holman.

36 Versatile Brittanys in Action By Carla Simon

Is Your Dog Stressed Out? Ever seen a new agility dog run around the ring with the zoomies, instead of taking the obstacles directed? Or suffered through constant barking at dog events? Across dogsports disciplines, many dogs struggle to disengage from the environment, unable to work in the presence of distractions like traffic, and loud noises. Your job as a handler isn’t only to train sports specific skills. That may be the easiest part. To succeed, you need to bring your dog to the start line in the state of mind he needs to be able to focus on the work. By careful training and planning, you can prevent, recognize and ameliorate stress. This will help build your dog’s confidence, so you can have more fun and achieve more reliable performance.

Stress and Stressors Stress is the body’s reaction to changes, and it’s a normal part of daily life. Our bodies react to changes with physical, mental and emotional adjustments. Stressors (aka triggers) are the things in the environment that cause stress. Stress can be positive (eustress) or negative (distress), depending on the subjective experience of the individual. For example, challenging scent detection searches can be stressful and motivational, requiring sustained effort to get past unproductive areas to find the source of target odor. But if you take a dog who is scared of traffic and ask him to search next to a highway, the distress he experiences may be demotivational. To quote Roger Abrantes, “there is a difference between being stressed and stressed out. When we experience far too much stress, our body goes into an alarm mode where survival has the first and sole priority, and memory formation decreases”. You’re the only one who can set your dog up for success by controlling the environments where you train and compete, so pay concerted attention when you notice stressors. • Common triggers in search environments frequently cause stress for dogs: • traffic (movement and noises, such as backfiring or sirens) • shiny floors e.g. school gyms or community centers • small, enclosed, crowded spaces e.g. public washrooms • unfamiliar people • other dogs e.g. barking or playing with squeakers • loud, unexpected noises such as gunfire • unstable surfaces, e.g. slippery vinyl tent fabric • extreme weather including wet/dry, and cold/hot, and • heights and elevation, e.g. mesh stairs Over time, some dogs build so much value for working with their handlers, their drive can overcome mild anxiety about the environment. At home, your dog may bark at every stranger in the street. But if he loves searching, he may not bark at strangers as often during searches. Dogs with even greater levels of anxiety and fear may not be able to search at all, demonstrating more severe signs of stress. Repeated exposures provoke fear and anxiety, and your dog won’t be looking forward to searching as much as he could be.

How to Recognize When Your Dog is Stressed So, how will you recognize when your dog is stressed? Some common signs of stress and anxiety you may observe include: • Won’t accept high value food or toy rewards • No response or slow response to well-trained cues e.g. sit • Avoids, backs away, leans, jumps, startles • Stares at trigger with intense focus • Sniffs the ground in the absence of scent • Lip licking, repeated stretching, yawning, lifting a paw • Taking treats harder than usual (nipping fingers or mouthing) • Barking/wining and lunging • Tail low, clamped between legs, touching abdomen • Shaking, trembling, teeth chattering • Scratching when not itchy • Shaking body when not wet • Rolls over and shows belly • Flinches or skin crawls when touched • Urinates or releases anal glands • Freezes • Loose diarrhea, or even • Aggression such as snapping, growling, attempting to bite, or biting 37 Good judgment is required to determine when you observe those behaviors what underlying emotions may be present. For example, barking may be a happy, excited greeting of a loved one, not only a sign of anxiety or fear. (Note that physical illness may present early on as stress. If your dog has unexplained stress signs, visit your vet to rule out physical illness first.) But the more behaviors you see from this list, the greater the likelihood that the dog is experiencing stress.

How to Deal with Stressors Having noticed a problem, intervene at the earliest signs of stress (higher up on the list) before behaviors escalate and dog is unable to cope. Move away from the trigger until distance is great enough that the dog is no longer stressed. If that’s impossible, put a barrier between your dog and the stressor e.g. stand behind a wall or a car, where the dog feels safe. Do not force your dog closer to the stressor. Do not correct your dog for barking or displaying other signs of stress. Corrections will backfire, because this increases the stress levels and anxiety. You want your dog to feel less stressed and more comfortable, not exacerbate an already difficult situation. Once you’re away from the situation, figure out which triggers are causing the stress, and make a plan for how to desensitize and counter condition your dog so you can change how the dog feels about the trigger. You may need help from a trainer who’s experienced in applying those techniques effectively, especially if the stress is severe, you expect to encounter it again or aggression was present. To work through it, you’ll need a systematic plan, patience, and time. You have to go at the dog’s pace of learning to achieve lasting improvements. After all, dogsports are supposed to be fun. In an upcoming article, we’ll cover the basics of helping dogs who are mildly distracted when approached by a strange person during Canine Good Citizen (or Canine Good Neighbour) testing.
