Blueprints Summer 2006 The revised guidelines covering the Judge Selection Process are published in this issue. Please read and retain this information for future reference. Thank you Gigi Lorentz-Reiling, chair, Carl Ashby and Dick Schaefer for your hard work and dedication to this project. USKBTC Members WILL SELECT the Judges, not the committee. The new committee, consisting of Dick Schaefer, Gigi Reiling, Nick Fletcher and Margo Steinman will manage the process. The proposed amendments to the clubs constitution and by-laws are acceptable to the AKC. These will be submitted to the members for a vote. These are NOT sweeping revisions, but rather clarifications and modernization made to conform with AKC guidelines. One of the changes splits the responsibilities of secretary into both a recording and corresponding secretary. Thank you Bill Lynch for chairing this committee and Carl Ashby, Martha Nazak and Gretchen Quinn for serving. I want to thank the outgoing governors, Nick Fletcher, Carol Kearney, Bryan Kincaid and Martha Nazak for their dedi- cation to the Kerry Blue Terrier and the USKBTC. We have 31 active committees plus 11 committees dealing with events and competition, all of which involve some level of board participation. In addition to Martha as chair, the nominating committee consisted of Bonnie Whelehan and Dick Schaefer with Linda Olsen and Terry Worful as alternates. Martha and Carol are term limited. Professional demands on Bryan and Nick are such that they are, at this time, unable to serve another term. The slate recommended by the nominating com- mittee consists of Lisa Frankland, Bill Kearney, Dr. Jann Lane, Tom Rogers and Carol Wert. Bios have been mailed to all members. This slate was developed to reflect the geographic location and interest level of members. In addi- tion, Dr. Scott Kellogg submitted a petition and acceptance letter declaring his candidacy. We now have six experi- enced and qualified members of the USKBTC running for the board." The USKBTC has pulled its application for the KBT to participate in earth-dog events after being informed by the AKC that dogs in the Master Test must negotiate obstacles, turns and obstructions in a tunnel that constricts to approxi- mately 6 inches. After a discussion with USKBTC members and other larger terrier club members interested in earth dog/strong dog events, a determination will be made on how to proceed. James R. Tebbetts has been working to develop an event for the larger terriers. Information on such a proposed event written by Jim is printed in this edition of Blueprints on page 12. In the meantime, we are proceeding with AKC approval for Herding! Lynn Duckett has resigned as rescue chair. Lynn, assisted by dedicated members, devoted considerable time and effort to rescue for many years. Thanks to Lynn and all who are participating in rescue. A committee is in the pro- cess of reviewing how the USKBTC rescue program functions with a view towards broader chapter club participation. The objective being the best possible program for the KBT. Few KBT’s bred by USKBTC members require rescue; most of those ending up in rescue originate in puppy mills. Dr. Scott Kellogg, Health & Genetics chair, has secured a commitment from Dr. Giger to address the Factor XI Muta- tion at 5:30p.m. before our annual meeting and dinner on Friday, October 6. Fred Fishell’s Kerrytoons book “The World According to Mike” is hot off the presses and will be available on the web site, from chapter clubs and at Montgomery. Thank you Fred Fishell and Carol Kearney for making this happen. The proceeds will go exclusively to support USKBTC Charitable Funds efforts. Many of us attend Montgomery in RV’s. With the Futurity being held at the Hatboro grounds in 2006, eliminating the need to move R.V.’s, concerns were expressed about transportation to Fishers. We are arranging for both security and transportation from Hatboro to the annual meeting and dinner. I had the opportunity to attend the KBTC of S.C. Specialty held in conjunction with the Great Western Terrier Associa- tion show at the new El Dorado Regional Park show site in Long Beach, California. This large park is convenient to regional airports and has ample parking for cars and R.V.’s. The members of the KBTC of S.C. worked hard and had a most successful show! They are ready for next years USKBTC Traveling Specialty. Plan to attend, you will have a great time.
