Greg looked splendid all decked out as the announcer read a list of his “...„thank you, Greg‟ for all that accomplishments that led to his selection for the Sporting Group. As each of the other breeder's history was announced, you've done for the breed....” I looked at Greg, the only man in the group, and thought about While Greg didn't win the overall Breeder of the Year at the what had brought him to this place. AKC/Eukanuba awards ceremony, I couldn't help but feel pride For those of you who have read Dan Sayers‘ fascinating, all- in his representing not only our special IWS family, but the inclusive article in Dogs in Review, you have a pretty good Sporting Group at large. Well done, Greg! As far as I'm idea. For those who have read what was printed in the AKC/ concerned, you ARE the Breeder of the Year. Eukanuba National Championship Showguide, you also have an idea. For those of you who haven't seen either, it's quite amazing to see the long list in print. As a non-breeder, I can only stand back and say "thank you, Greg" for all that you've done for the breed. Having two Poole's Ide dogs in my life, I have a special feeling for these achievements. In reading of the number of group winning dogs he's bred, I knew that my two were included in that tally. Summarizing some of Greg's contributions showcasing our breed, decide for yourself how remarkable his career has been. His exceptional breed type and thoughtful line breeding produced Ch. Poole's Ide Marksman McLean, winner of four national specialties, four Westminster BOB's and an AKC/ Eukanuba Invitational Bred-by-Exhibitor group win. Ch. Poole's Ide Skylark is the breed's top all-breed BIS-winning bitch with 11 Bests and an AKC/Eukanuba Sporting Group win. Ch. Poole's Ide Watermark not only was a top producer but a winner of seven all-breed BIS, four Westminster BOB and three national specialties. Ch. Poole's Ide Then There's Maude was a two-time national specialty winner and the dam of an all-champion litter of six that has produced two multiple all-breed BIS and BISS winners. I'm not done yet. By the numbers, accomplishments cover four generations of all-breed BIS winners, eight generations of group winning bitches, ten national specialty winners and sixteen Westminster winners. On top of that, three Poole's Ide dogs are all-around IWS. Greg has also been nominated for the 2010 Winkie for Annual Achievement in the Outstanding Breeder category.

It is interesting to look at the numbers of IWS‘s competing in the various venues. The whole West coast currently has a very small number of dogs competing in conformation, and yet in the past we were able to create large entries. Is this happening all over the country?? If so, why?? How many young owners/breeders do we have coming into our breed?? “... I have also been around long enough to know that we can make a difference if we can stay committed...” The holiday season is in full swing and I wish all of you a very Are there enough to sustain both our sport and on-going happy season. It is always fun to renew acquaintances and breeding programs that will assure the future of the IWS? And, catch up on what others have been doing. It is also a stressful if not, why not?? Are we doing all we can to encourage time and we get stretched to the limit with obligations. I am them?? Or are we setting up so many roadblocks so as to sure our furry friend‘s feel it and we need to be aware of the discourage them? Are we being good role models and fact that they don‘t understand all of the hustle and bustle, so mentors? And are we doing all we can to keep people already be sure to give them some extra love when you can.

  • Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally Active and Alert, Sporting Dogs Make Likeable, Well-Rounded Companions
    Sporting Group Study Guide Naturally active and alert, Sporting dogs make likeable, well-rounded companions. Remarkable for their instincts in water and woods, many of these breeds actively continue to participate in hunting and other field activities. Potential owners of Sporting dogs need to realize that most require regular, invigorating exercise. The breeds of the AKC Sporting Group were all developed to assist hunters of feathered game. These “sporting dogs” (also referred to as gundogs or bird dogs) are subdivided by function—that is, how they hunt. They are spaniels, pointers, setters, retrievers, and the European utility breeds. Of these, spaniels are generally considered the oldest. Early authorities divided the spaniels not by breed but by type: either water spaniels or land spaniels. The land spaniels came to be subdivided by size. The larger types were the “springing spaniel” and the “field spaniel,” and the smaller, which specialized on flushing woodcock, was known as a “cocking spaniel.” ~~How many breeds are in this group? 31~~ 1. American Water Spaniel a. Country of origin: USA (lake country of the upper Midwest) b. Original purpose: retrieve from skiff or canoes and work ground c. Other Names: N/A d. Very Brief History: European immigrants who settled near the great lakes depended on the region’s plentiful waterfowl for sustenance. The Irish Water Spaniel, the Curly-Coated Retriever, and the now extinct English Water Spaniel have been mentioned in histories as possible component breeds. e. Coat color/type: solid liver, brown or dark chocolate. A little white on toes and chest is permissible.

  • The American Water Spaniel: Yankee Doodle Dandy
    The American Water Spaniel: Yankee Doodle Dandy James B. Spencer HUP! Training Flushing Spaniels The American Way he American Water Spaniel (AWS) is as American as George M. Cohan, and just as capable of “doing it all” in his particular line of work. T A marvelous little all-weather ducker, the AWS can also bust the nastiest cover in the uplands to flush and retrieve birds for the boss. The dog’s small size and placid temperament make him ideal in a duck skiff, where he can slip into and out of the water without upsetting or soaking the skipper. His methodical thoroughness in the uplands makes him a delightful companion for the gunner over thirty-five years of age. Developed in the last century in the Great Lakes region, and now the state dog of Wisconsin, this native breed possesses so many talents that the national breed club, American Water Spaniel Club (AWSC), has struggled for years trying to decide whether to seek AKC classification as a retriever or as a flushing spaniel. The breed must be classified as one or the other before it can participate in AKC Field Trials and hunting tests. The breed needs the exposure these activities, especially the AKC hunting tests, would give it among dog-loving hunters. Trouble is, the AWSC membership is badly split – four ways. Some members favor classification as a spaniel. Some favor classification as a retriever. Others fearing that either would eventually damage the breed’s dual abilities, have until very recently held out for dual classification. Still others prefer no classification at all.

  • History of the Boykin Spaniel Provided by the BSCBAA
    History of The Boykin Spaniel THE BOYKIN SPANIEL History provided by the BSCBAA The Boykin Spaniel carries a unique set of credentials that no other breed of canine can honestly claim. He is a dog originally bred by South Carolina hunters in the late 1880’s. He was developed initially as the ideal dog for hunting wild turkeys in the Wateree River Swamp during the early 1900s and now beautifully adapts to the dove fields, the duck marshes and the homefires of his modern-day masters. Most individual Boykin Spaniels have a special personality and enthusiastic field ability that no other dog can match. A Boykin Spaniel is unmistakable, if you know what you're looking for. He is a little brown dog with a spaniel's flop ears and a deep liver-brown coat, bleached to reddish fringes by the sun. Backwoods legends has it that the spaniel's brown coat was bred-in to provide the dog camouflage as he lay nervously on the floor listening to his master call a turkey in. The docked tail came as a man-made modification to keep a long twitching tail from rattling leaves in a turkey blind. He is larger and rangier than a Cocker and his coat doesn't have all the fancy feathering around the edges. His most outstanding feature, however, is a super-energized personality that adds an extra special twist to the usually mundane chores. The much circulated story of where the first Boykin Spaniel came from is simple and without frills. It says that some time shortly after the turn of the century, a small dog was found wandering near a Methodist church in Spartanburg, S.C., and one of the people attending services there, a Mr Alexander L.
