An amazing year in the show ring for this lovely bitch! Shown locally only, she finished the year as the #2 Borzoi bitch in breed standings and #6 borzoi in breed and for all breed standings she was the #8 borzoi. She also finished her Bronze Grand Championship and is working her way towards her Silver Grand by picking up another 18 points at the Novi, MI 4 day cluster and Michigan Hound Association shows this January with 2 BOS and 2 SEL wins amongst strong BOB competition. Penny's breeders are Joy Windle, Joyous Guard and Lorrie Scott, Aruzia. GCH Borscana Akka Tierra - "Birdie" also showed one day at the cluster and received the Select Bitch award. Both Birdie and Penny will be attending the Westminster Kennel Club shows in New York. A new and exciting experience for all of us! Birdie's breeder is Lize Edland of the Borscana Kennel in Sweden. Best wishes to all in the New Year! Last minute super exciting news: Penny wins Best of Opposite Sex at the Westminster Kennel Club show in NY!! Thrill of a lifetime! Amy Balthrop / Akanni I had a litter in August 2018 consisting of five pups - four girls, one boy. The boy went to a co-owned show home in Virginia, one of the girls went to a co-owned show home in Alaska, one girl is in a pet home in Utah, and I kept the other two girls. My boy Crow, who was the sire to my litter, finished his AKC CH title in October, making him CH Akanni Afanasii Burnished Blackbird. My girl Serenity won a four point major at the Livonia Kennel Club shows on Jan. 17 - she is Howff Carbonel Firefly at Akanni and was bred by Vickie & Leigh Littleton and out of their boy Madoc (Akanni's Prince Madoc Howff Carbonel). Amy Sikula and I have a co-bred litter in the works if our girl ever cooperates. MBC Bulletin -February 2019 Page 3 Rich and June Mintchell / Riju Our specialty winning DC Riju Enjoy The Ride SC, CD, PCD, BN, RA, SWA, SCE, SIE, SEM, SHDA aka Rider (co owned with Anne Midgarden) continues to excel at everything he does. He went to his first ever Detective level scent work trials and qualified both times. Only 25% of the dogs entered that day Qed at all and he was 1 of only 2 dogs who Qed both runs. He was absolutely fabulous and we had a blast! His daughter, FC Teine Mirage At Riju SC, CD, GO, BN, RA, SHDA aka Mirage, ended the year as #1 Borzoi in both obedience and rally. I am very proud to say she is the 26th dog I have put an AKC CD on (the 15th Borzoi). This also makes 17 years in a row of having the #1 Borzoi in obedience in the country (BCOA average score system). Borzoi aren't the easiest dogs in the world to train for competition sports but having put obedience, rally, agility, tracking, and scent work titles on so many of them and having done well, I can say that when they do it for you it is a complete and total blast working with them.

  • The Afghan Hound

    The Afghan Hound

    YOU BE THE JUDGE By Robert Cole From Dogs in Canada, December 1988 THE AFGHAN HOUND Three of these six Afghan Hounds are real life Group winners; in fact, two are Best in Show winners. These three serve to illustrate certain characteristics which set the breed apart. They also serve to illustrate three personal type preferences. You can, but it is not necessary that you correctly identify which three are the real life winners. The other three are graphic departures based on the real life Afghans. Two represent departures from the official CKC description and one represents a departure from depicted reality towards the worded ideal. Combined with reality, these three also help formulate an image of perceived ideal. You be the judge. Let’s pretend they are all real life Afghan Hounds and this is their first show. They are competing in the Open Dog class. To minimize distractions I have given them all a short, closer saddle (a traditional breed characteristic) over beige without any white (white markings especially on the head are undesirable). Select a first place, a second place, a third place and a fourth place. FIRST PLACE Based on a breed standard which calls for: “Height at the shoulders to equal the distance from the chest to the buttocks,” I would have to go with Dog A. This Afghan Hound’s height to length in profile must be close to ideal, however, it is not one of the BIS or Group winners. Dog A is one of the imaginary examples. Dog A is actually real life Dog C with a piece taken out of the centre of his body equal to the width of the back of the hand illustrated supporting his tail.

    Biographies of the Nominees for the RRCUS 2020/2021 Slate of Officers and Directors PRESIDENT Anne Jones I purchased my first Ridgeback in 1990, my plan was to show her in Obedience. We finished a UD together and she was the first Ridgeback to earn an MX in agility. I fell head over heels in love with the breed and with the entire dog show world. Performance is my first love and over the last 25 years I have had two MACH Ridgebacks, several in top ten obedience and agility, two BIF coursing dogs and two Triathlon Winners. I’ve won three AOM’s at National Specialties with my own dogs, from Veteran’s classes and Field Dog. With my first conformation dog I stood in the BIS ring twice, a thrill I will never forget. RRCUS provides education, ethical guidance, health testing recommendations and National Specialties that bring so many of our club members together. RRCUS is the foundation that helps our members produce healthy, versatile, beautiful Ridgebacks. I love our club and have given back by volunteering as Agility, Obedience and Triathlon Chair, 12 years as Director, and 1 year as 1st VP. I was a retail manager for 20 years and finished my career with ToysRus as a Store Director before starting my own business as a Dog Trainer in 1996, a career I still love 23 years later. I have been President and VP of the 4 Paw Agility Club of North GA, Chair for its agility trials, and Treasurer and Obedience Chair for the Atlanta Kennel Club.

  • Basset Hound History.Pages

    Basset Hound History.Pages

    A Brief History of the Breed The Basset Hound is a long, low, scenting hound of French ancestry. His many admirers consider him to be among the most beautiful and unusual of all hounds, his dignified look owing in great part to a large, majestic head adorned with long, velvety ears, a wrinkled brow and dark, soulful eyes. The Basset Hound remains one of the most easily recognizable of all dog breeds. THE Basset Français, or the Basset Hound, as he is known to us, is undoubtedly one of the oldest breeds of dogs, and has existed in France in exactly the same type that he does today for many centuries. The French, however, have kept no systematic records of sports and sporting dogs, and it is only within the last few years, since the English have taken up the breed, that the history of the Basset Hound has been collected and written. They were down to the seventeenth century known in France as Chiens d'Artois, but since then this name has been transferred to and used only to designate the large Picardy Hounds, and the breed under discussion has been given the name of Basset. The Basset Français and the Basset Allemand, or, as he is better known, the Dachshund, had undoubtedly a common origin; but the Basset Hound of today has maintained all the characteristics of a true Hound, whereas the Dachshund has some of the attributes of a Terrier. The statement in the Basset Hound Standard for the FEDERATION CYNOLOGIQUE INTERNATIONALE (FCI) states: The Basset was reputedly bred by monks in France in the Middle Ages to hunt in heavy cover and is able to hold its nose close to the ground.
