President’s Message
Hello All: I hope you and yours are doing well. As many of you know, there were some lengthy discussions regarding the 2020 PHCA National and Eastern Regional Specialties. The conversation was at times heated and not always nice, productive or constructive.
It did, however, provide us - and by that I mean the collective "us" - both the Board of Directors and the membership - with some lessons that we can take away from the entire unfortunate situation. First of all, we shouldn't ALWAYS assume we know the motives behind the other side in a disagreement. If uncertain, we should ask those questions that are nagging at us or that we find suspect, instead of attributing the worst possible motive and running with it. Secondly, we should ALL remain open to communications - once one side assumes a position or draws the proverbial "line in the sand" any effective opportunity for further communication or compromise has been lost. Thirdly, try to maintain a reasonable perspective. At the end of the day, most of our goals are similar if not the same - sharing the love of our breed - both with each other and with everyone else. This should be ENJOYABLE, folks. Fourth, we must ALL be open to suggestions, modifications, changes, and willing to see the "big picture" in getting to where we want to go. Sometimes getting caught up in the minutiae causes us to lose sight of this... Fifth, we must be willing to adapt and change in order to meet the needs of the largest number of club members we can - within reason - and while bearing in mind we are a small breed and have limited resources to meet EVERYONE'S expectations. It is my hope that we can bear these thoughts and goals in mind moving forward as a club. I have reprinted a portion of the statement from the Board of Directors to the Membership, which was published on the Pharaoh Hound Club of America's official Facebook page on April 14, 2020. I am confident that moving forward, we can continue to grow and thrive as a club in a more collaborative way. Best,
Robert

To the Membership of the Pharaoh Hound Club of America from the PHCA Board of Directors Moving Forward
Based on our current situation, it appears to the Board that any effort in attempting to coordinate a National Specialty for 2020 would be futile. Even assuming events begin to open in the next ninety (90) days, it would not be feasible to plan an entire National, secure the necessary judges, locate an acceptable time and expect any reasonable entry. To that end, and like so many other clubs, at this point it is obvious that a 2020 PHCA National Specialty will not happen. The PHCA Board has been in contact with the AKC and have been notified that we will not be penalized as a Member Club if specialties do not happen in 2020. Having said that, the Board is committed to start now working on future National and Specialty events. To that end we have created a committee to monitor, assist, and support any member wanting to make a proposal. We will be seeking input from the membership for thoughts and suggestions as to what you would like to see at our shows going forward. We have identified that misconceptions exist about the PHCA Board not having specialty guideline and/or budgetary guidance for proposed specialty teams. This is not an accurate conception, and the Board spent considerable time and effort two years ago establishing guidelines that set forth what is expected of anyone making a proposal. We also established budgetary guidelines to assist in understanding the expectations for a proposal. These tools are available for any member interested in exploring the possibility of making a proposal. The Board will continue to do all we can to assist in creating successful events. With communication and cooperation, we can jointly learn from past lessons. As a Board, we are committed to increasing our communication with the membership so that we do not face similar misconceptions and/or miscommunications in the future. We look forward to seeing everyone in the future and wish you all health and happiness in the days ahead.

Editor’s Notes
STOP! Do we even know how to stop? To slow down and push the pause button? With dog shows and performance events cancelled or postponed, my supply chain for this newsletter was becoming a supply shortage. Events and results that would feed the SCRIBE were shut down. One by one like dominoes, they fell. The PHCA Independent Western Specialties, the Eastern Specialty& Supported shows. I was worried that the SCRIBE would end up like a one page church bulletin. So thank you everyone who helped to fill the pages with your contributions.
Looking for the cover photo for this issue in normal times would have been easy. But again, these are not normal times. I scrolled the Pharaoh Hound group pages on Facebook, like a Ford model recruiter. Searching for that something special, that “it” factor. Saw lots of dogs on couches, sleeping dogs, running dogs, ball chasing dogs, standing, sitting, lots of dogs all enjoying their humans being home. There certainly was no shortage of dog photos posted. No break in the supply chain of new puppy pics. Almost gave up when there she was, my cover girl, she had that something extra to make your heart smile. Sorry Best in Show, National or Best of Breed past cover winners. This is my absolute favorite cover, fabulous Carmen.

Pharaoh Hound Education Update
Given how many AKC events have had to be cancelled recently, the AKC started coordinating breed webinars of parent club judge’s education seminars. The breed webinars are free of charge and about an hour long. I was asked to give the pharaoh hound webinar on April 22. I found out afterwards that over 300 people were online for it. I’m glad I did not know that ahead of time as I was nervous enough never having done anything like this online. I must say I am more comfortable talk to people with interaction than to my computer screen, but what a great opportunity to get information about our breed standard available to so many people! AKC recorded the webinar and has placed it on their website where it will remain available to be viewed. If you are interested, use this link: https://www.akc.org/sports/conformation/judging-information/judges-study-guides/ Go down select Pharaoh Hound and then select Webinar. Also available from this website is the AKC Canine College course on the Pharaoh Hound which was developed a couple years ago. This course is intended for current/aspiring Conformation Judges and anyone interested in learning more about the Pharaoh Hound Breed. The AKC is running a half price offer for the Canine College courses for a while.
There are webinars and canine college courses on many other breeds if you’re interested in expanding your knowledge on other breeds you may be interested in.
Enjoy learning! Thanks to the AKC for making these available.

AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB WELCOMES THE INTRODUCTION OF THE HEALTHY DOGS IMPORTATION ACT OF 2020
9
Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
New York, NY- The American Kennel Club (AKC®), the world’s largest purebred dog registry and advocate for all dogs, is pleased to express strong support and gratitude for the introduction of the Healthy Dog Importation Act of 2020 in the U.S. House of Representatives today. The organization would like to thank Congressmen Ralph Abraham (LA-5), Ted Yoho (FL-3), and Kurt Schrader (OR-5) for sponsoring this bipartisan legislation that will ensure all dogs imported into the United States are fully immunized; free of infection, parasites and contagious diseases; and are individually certified as such by an accredited veterinarian. “AKC is grateful for Representatives Abraham, Schrader and Yoho’s leadership in sponsoring the Healthy Dog Importation Act,” said AKC President & CEO, Dennis Sprung. “In the last several years, zoonotic diseases such as rabies, canine influenza and distemper have been carried into the U.S. by dogs imported without basic veterinary checks or valid health certificates. With an estimated one million dogs entering the U.S. annually, this represents a ticking time bomb for animal and public health. The basic health certifications that this bill requires for every dog imported will protect the health and wellbeing of all dogs in our nation - and the humans who care for them.”
The AKC also thanks the National Animal Interest Alliance (NAIA) for their long-time leadership on the issue and the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) for their support. As our country works diligently to end the COVID-19 pandemic and prevent the spread of other zoonotic diseases, this legislation is an important step in addressing concerns about recent documented incidents of unhealthy dogs being brought into the U.S.

FACT CHECK
I always ponder giving a platform to people or organizations that bend the truth but some things cannot go unanswered. Some very unfair, untruthful and blatantly inaccurate assertions were made last week by HSUS about the American Kennel Club. AKC's Government Relations Department promptly responded. Here is the entirety of the HSUS assertions and AKC's response. TRUTH MATTERS!! The picture painted of the American Kennel Club in a blog published by HSUS was filled with so many inaccuracies, we’ve decided to try to fix the inaccuracies section by section, rather than write a full rebuttal. – AKC. HSUS: Last year, we assisted with the care and placement of dozens of dogs rescued from the property of a German Shepherd breeder in Maryland. The breeder was cashing in on the popularity of a breed celebrated by the American Kennel Club, which has consistently placed German Shepherds at the top of its list of most popular breeds for many years now. The dogs were being kept in filthy conditions, as far as can be from the glamour of a show ring—two puppies were found in a dirty bathroom with what appeared to be fecal matter and urine on the ground, and many of the adults were filthy, fearful and thin. FACT: AKC does not condone irresponsible behavior. This breeder was suspended by the AKC in 2018, and was not an AKC client at the time of this terrible situation in 2019. AKC is not a government agency and cannot inspect those who do not register their dogs with us. HSUS: This year, once again, German Shepherds, like Labrador retrievers, golden retrievers, English and French bulldogs and poodles, rank high on the AKC’s list of top 10 most popular breeds. The list, released this week, has become a matter of concern for animal protection organizations because it serves as a reference point and incentive for puppy mills to churn out countless numbers of the top-ranking dogs each year for sale. To add insult to injury, AKC lends misleading credentials to many indiscriminate breeders who produce these purebred dogs, without regard for the problems caused by indiscriminate breeding, inbreeding and the lack of socialization for the animals. FACT: This is an inaccurate accusation. AKC does not provide credentials to breeders. However, we are very proud of our industry-leading voluntary programs through which professional breeders access continuing science-based breeder education, information about best practices, and breed-based health tests for parents to produce healthy puppies. AKC is proud of our hobby breeders who are dedicated to preserving the heritage of their breeds, educating the public about their amazing breeds, and breeding health-tested parents for healthy, happy puppies. The AKC is also the ONLY private all-breed dog registry with an inspection program that conducts thousands of inspections per year. If our inspectors find a problem, we work tirelessly to appropriately address the issue on behalf of the welfare of dogs, including reporting negligence/cruelty to the appropriate authorities. HSUS: On top of that, the AKC vigorously opposes any attempts made by lawmakers and organizations like ours to improve the treatment of animals in puppy mills AKC dog breeders have often appeared in our annual Horrible Hundred reports; some have been charged with animal cruelty for keeping their dogs in dreadful conditions.

Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
FACT: Most of the people HSUS tries to connect to AKC in its “Horrible Hundre” list have not registered with the AKC in years. AKC is not a government agency and can only inspect breeders that are actively breeding dogs AND registering their dogs with the AKC. Breeders who are active AKC clients are inspected as high priority to ensure that they are properly caring for their dogs. HSUS: In March, I told you about a dog rescued from an AKC breeder in Caldwell County, North Carolina, who was all skin and bones, riddled with parasites and lethargic. She was also pregnant with seven puppies, four of whom died at birth; the remaining three required hospitalization and round-the-clock care to survive. FACT: The condition of this dog is upsetting and never should have happened. The breeder in this case had been suspended by AKC the year before this happened. HSUS: One of the most heartbreaking stories is that of Wild Bill. Once an AKC champion dog, this Australian Cattle Dog competed in AKC events, winning ribbons for his good looks. Tragically, after his glory days in the show ring were over, Wild Bill was discovered by local law enforcement officials at a Mississippi puppy mill, where he was starving in a filthy, rusted crate with inches of feces-infested water around him. But if that wasn’t bad enough, an AKC inspector who saw it all gave the kennel a clean inspection report. FACT: The facts of this case from 6 years ago have been and continue to be distorted for emotional gain. This breeder has been suspended from AKC for almost 6 years. AKC’s inspection was conducted with a police officer onsite who did not see any conditions that were concerning. When the officer returned to the kennel for a follow-up a week later, the conditions were not appropriate, and the proper care was not being administered. HSUS: Although it registers only pure breeds, the AKC doesn’t hesitate to profit from “designer” mixed breeds like “labradoodles” and “goldendoodles” either. These dogs are in demand because of beliefs that every lab or golden retriever is friendly with children and that poodles are hypoallergenic. The hype is misleading, because mixing any breed with a poodle does not automatically make the offspring non-shedding or allergen- free, yet pet stores don’t hesitate to cash in on the misconception. FACT: The AKC does not encourage the cross-breeding of dogs for designer mixes. Mixed breeds lack the of predictability of characteristics of carefully bred purebred dogs because there is no way to track or ensure which traits the offspring receive. Sadly, there are also significant health issues associated with designer mixes. Having said that, AKC celebrates all dogs, and we encourage all dog owners – whether they own a purebred dog or a mixed-breed – to participate in the many family-friendly events we offer for all dogs and their owners. HSUS: These dogs also frequently suffer from genetic problems, as do other popular AKC breeds like bulldogs, which can lead to big medical bills and heartbreak for those who buy them. AKC partners with Petland, the nation’s largest chain of puppy-selling pet stores, offering to enroll mixed breed dogs the store sells in its “Canine Partners program.” The program includes an “official certificate from the American Kennel Club honoring your dog,” and the eligibility to participate in agility and other performance events, all for a fee. FACT: AKC’s Canine Partners Program is open to all dogs that cannot otherwise register with the AKC pedigree registry, including dogs from shelters and other retailers, not just Petland. All dogs, whether they participate in the pedigree registry or the Canine Partners Program, pay a one-time enrollment fee of approximately $35 and can participate in a wide range of events and services.

Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
HSUS: Petland, which notoriously sources puppy mill dogs, has been a subject of eight HSUS investigations for its terrible mistreatment of the animals in its care. Many Petland stores boast “AKC Inspected” signs. FACT: AKC inspects hundreds of pet stores where dogs may be obtained and have done so for decades. We do this voluntarily because we care deeply about the health and wellbeing of dogs –not because of any legal requirement. If we find any issue of animal mistreatment, it is reported to authorities immediately. Mistreatment of dogs is never taken lightly by AKC. HSUS: The AKC also regularly uses its platform to bash animal rescues – the same groups that help mixed breed dogs who are homeless and in need. FACT: This is inaccurate. AKC is not opposed to rescue, in fact AKC is the largest breed rescue network in the country, working with responsible breed-based rescues located throughout the country. There are many dogs who were responsibly rehomed or rescued at some point in their lives, who go on to participate in AKC Canine Partners programs and are now champions across multiple AKC sports. Two AKC charitable affiliates – the AKC Humane Fund and AKC Reunite – provide direct donations to rescues and shelters. However, AKC DOES have a very strong concern about irresponsible “rescues” or pet flippers who take advantage of well-intentioned “adopters” by selling them unhealthy dogs at high prices and claiming that they are superior to responsibly-bred and raised breed dogs. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has provided estimates that more than one million dogs are imported into the U.S. each year. Many of these dogs are bred by foreign puppy farmers in substandard conditions specifically for the U.S. “rescue” dog markets and are imported into the U.S. with invalid or fraudulent veterinary paperwork. Sadly, irresponsible rescues, which piggyback on the good work of responsible rescues, put public health and the safety of the animals, their handlers and their future owners at risk. Just a year ago, CDC banned imports of dogs from Egypt because several dogs with rabies were imported and placed into rescue. HSUS: Right now, it is also opposing a common-sense law in Massachusetts that would protect dogs from being left outside in harsh weather. And it regularly fights local and state laws that protect dogs in puppy mills, including laws that prohibit the sale of puppy mill puppies in pet stores. FACT: The AKC is pleased to express the concerns of responsible dog owners in Massachusetts about H 1822/S 989, a one-size-fits-all proposal that would penalize the keeping of dogs in certain humane situations and fail to recognize appropriate breed-specific care guidelines. Breeds such as Alaskan Malamutes and Siberian Huskies that are popular in Massachusetts are uniquely adapted to colder temperatures, and other dogs such as working K9s need to be acclimated to a multitude of conditions in order to be safe when required to work. AKC is joined by the Massachusetts Police Benevolent Association, the Boston Police Department, the National Animal Interest Alliance and the Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation in urging changes to the proposal that recognize dogs’ unique characteristics while also ensuring that dogs are not left in conditions that pose harm to them. HSUS: One of the things we have learned during this crisis is just how many Americans are eager to adopt and foster dogs from animal shelters. Shelters do amazing work, and they should always be the first stop for anyone looking to bring a pet home but if families are unable to find a rescue dog, seeking out a responsible dog breeder is key to ending the puppy mill trade. Dogs are truly our best friends, and their companionship– especially in these stressful times–is invaluable. Dogs are truly our best friends, and their companionship– especially in these stressful times–is invaluable.
13
Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
FACT: This is a statement we can all agree on. However, it’s also important to remember that responsible dog ownership is about more than how our dogs make us feel – it’s also about our commitment to them. AKC has long taught that one of the most important things to consider when getting a dog is doing your homework and choosing the right pet for your lifestyle. When people choose a pet with known, predictable characteristics (size, grooming needs, exercise requirements, personality, good with kids, etc.) that pet is less likely to end up in a shelter. We agree that shelters do great work, and we are proud of the support we and our clubs give to shelters around the country. We also recognize that a shelter or rescue dog that may have special needs is not the right fit for everyone. That’s OK. With Americans importing more than 1 million dogs each year, many of which are destined for retail shelters; it’s most important for future dog owners to carefully consider all lifestyle factors and purchase options – whether it be a breeder, a shelter, a rescue or a pet store – and make a thoughtful decision about what is most responsible and appropriate for your needs. HSUS They deserve to be celebrated, and as long as the AKC contributes to their suffering, we will continue to fight the group with all of our might. FACT: We find it odd that HSUS is committing itself to fighting one of the most respected and responsible dog organizations in the country instead of focusing on its mission of helping animals AKC does not contribute to the suffering of dogs. We urge you to check your facts. You will find AKC cares deeply about dogs and does more good for dogs than any other organization. It is true we do not do extensive fundraising or attack other organizations. Our approach is and remains focused on positive approaches to advocating for the purebred dog, promoting responsible dog ownership, advancing the health and wellbeing of all dogs, and working to protect the rights of dog owners. Of course, we will fight for the dogs we love, breed, and have a beautiful timeless bond with. Assertions otherwise, like many of those in yesterday’s blog, are patently false.

Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
I shall make every effort to keep my dogs free from internal and external parasites; shall follow a worming program in accordance with the advice of my veterinarian and consult with him in all matters of parasite control and prevention. I shall make every effort to see that my Pharaoh Hounds have the socialization necessary to allow their natural love and acceptance of human companionship to be developed to the fullest extent. I shall be aware that the Pharaoh Hound is an intelligent and sensitive dog and that, although he is an excellent kennel dog, his love of humans necessitates daily human attention for proper care and training. III. BREEDING I shall breed only to produce dogs that meet the breed standard of the Pharaoh Hound Club of America, Inc. as accepted by the American Kennel Club. I shall use for breeding only dogs I consider genetically, temperamentally, and physically free from defects. I understand that all dogs used for breeding must be screened for all testing required for Pharaoh Hound CHIC certification PRIOR to breeding. I shall not use for breeding, nor breed to, any Pharaoh Hounds I consider to be of “pet” quality, nor any Pharaoh Hounds that are not registered with the American Kennel Club or a foreign registry recognized by the American Kennel Club. I shall, with the knowledge that the demand for Pharaoh Hound puppies may not meet the supply potential, refrain from breeding merely for the sake of producing puppies, but shall be conservative and selective in my breeding program. Before the breeding of my bitch, I shall have adequate facilities to keep and care for all puppies until the proper homes are found for them I further agree that stud dogs should not be bred prior to eighteen (18) months of age and should be in good health and free from communicable diseases and disqualifying faults. It is the Pharaoh Hound Club of America, Inc.’s position that stud owners are responsible for puppies produced by their studs and it is therefore recommended they verify the bitch owner is a responsible owner and breeder. Any bitch accepted for stud service should be at least two (2) years of age, in good health and free from communicable diseases and disqualifying faults. All breeding’s that occur should be done with the intention of the preservation and betterment of the breed, taking into consideration Matters of structure, health and temperament, as well as the ability of the breeder to be responsible for the puppies produced. I shall refuse stud service to any owner who is unwilling to cooperate in all efforts to protect the breed welfare. I agree that no stud dog should be bred to any bitch whose owner is directly or indirectly involved with any puppy broker, puppy mill, litter lot sales, or any other commercial enterprise whose business is involved in like activities. I agree that no bitch should be bred more than once a year without first obtaining veterinary certification that such a breeding is medically appropriate, nor prior to two (2) years of age, nor after seven (7) years of age without PRIOR veterinary certification stating that the bitch is of appropriate health to be bred. Each bitch to be bred should be in good health and free from communicable diseases and disqualifying faults. I agree that breeders of litters are responsible for puppies produced by their bitches, and that breeders verify that purchasers of puppies will be responsible owners who will provide proper homes and care. I agree that all
16
Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
breeding’s that occur should be done with the intention of the preservation and betterment of the breed, taking into consideration matters of structure, health and temperament, as well as the ability of the breeder to be responsible for the puppies produced. No bitch should be bred for commercial reasons. No Pharaoh Hound will be sold to commercial facilities, businesses or agents thereof. I shall explain to all potential buyers and breeders the responsibilities they have to the breed and to the puppies resulting from any breeding. I shall maintain records of health and breeding of each individual dog in accordance with the requirements of the American Kennel Club, and produce them within thirty (30) days of request to the Pharaoh Hound Club o0f America Board of Directors. I realize that I have a lifelong responsibility to make every reasonable effort to protect the wellbeing of each dog I produce. This includes accepting the return or rescue of any Pharaoh Hound that I have bred, regardless of age. If I am unable to do so, either physically or financially, I will contact Pharaoh Hound Club of America, Inc. Rescue for advice and/or assistance. Under no circumstances will I knowingly allow a Pharaoh Hound of my breeding, or anyone else’s, to be placed in a shelter or passed from home to home indiscriminately. IV. SALES I shall offer, for sale, only those dogs which are physically and mentally sound and make every effort to properly place my dogs according to temperament and personality, realizing that the welfare of said puppy, or dog, is of prime importance. I shall only offer an intact “pet” quality dog for sale providing a non-breeding contract is signed by both parties, and, when possible, the dog shall be released on an American Kennel Club limited registration only. When feasible the dog will be neutered prior to release to the purchaser. I shall not release or ship puppies to their new homes until they are at least 8 weeks of age. I shall screen potential buyers as carefully as possible and refuse to sell to any person whom I have reason to believe will not properly care for the dog, both mentally and physically.
I shall provide each new owner with health and feeding information and any other pertinent information necessary for the care and keeping of the dog. I shall provide each purchaser with a bill of sale, three generation pedigree, health record, registration (unless it is withheld by written agreement of both parties), and instructions for good Care and feeding. I shall also supply a written health guarantee detailing conditions for replacement or reimbursement.
I will have each puppy microchipped or otherwise permanently identified PRIOIR to releasing it to its new home.

Suggested Best Practices for the Well-Being of Dog Sport Participants
The AKC supports each club’s informed decision to reschedule, postpone or cancel their respective events, as well as supporting clubs ready to hold events in locations that are open and permit gatherings. As events resume across the country, people need to feel safe while enjoying their dog activities. The AKC urges clubs to take appropriate precautions for the benefit of their participants. Events need to be held in a manner that emphasizes the safety of participants and event officials over efficiency.
The following is a list of suggested best practices that may be helpful when planning or attending an event. Event locations, facilities and dates will differ. With a situation that is continually evolving, it is up to the clubs to determine the guidelines that best fit their event. In order to inform participants, specific guidelines established by the club/cluster should be published in the premium, show catalog, club website and posted on signage/flyers at their event.
General Practices
1. Clubs, officials and participants are required to follow state, local and facility guidelines that apply to the area and site where the event is held. 2. Practice social distancing consistent with guidelines in effect at the time of the event. Avoid congregating to the extent possible. 3. Consider wearing masks when in close proximity to others. Clubs should provide masks if desired for officials, judges and volunteers. 4. Consider wearing disposable or washable gloves. 5. Wash hands as frequently as possible. Have disinfecting spray at bathroom facilities for people to spray door handles (or anything else they touch). Consider hiring bathroom attendants to maintain maximum cleanliness. 6. If you utilize portable toilets, please ask for a hand washing station(s) to be delivered as well. 7. Avoid shaking hands, hugging, or other physical contact.
19
Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
8. Avoid touching dogs that are not your responsibility. 9. Avoid common use pens/pencils – bring your own. 10. Disinfect surfaces in common use areas as often as possible (tables, chairs, doorknobs, etc.) Clubs and facilities may consider not providing chairs. 11. Meals - Avoid or stagger group lunches/dinners if possible. Hospitality areas should avoid community items such as salt and pepper shakers, condiments, creamers, etc. Participants should consider bringing their own lunch/drinks. 12. Vendors should follow retail guidelines for the area. 13. Parking – Park with sufficient distance between vehicles if possible. If there is a parking fee, ask exhibitors to bring exact change. 14. Indoor show sites should work with facilities to have as many entrance/exits points open as possible. Hand sanitizer should be available at every entrance to the site and at multiple locations within the site. 15. Parking/unloading staff should wear masks and sanitize their hands following the assistance of each individual.
Event Practices
1. Opening Date – In order to provide clubs flexibility during times of uncertainty, clubs may specify a date in the premium when entries will start to be accepted. The “opening date” should be selected to allow time for mailed entries. 2. Site Set-up - The size and layout of a site will determine the opportunities available to clubs. • Separate the rings if possible, otherwise set-up buffers within rings along adjoining sides to provide separation. • If individual rings are not possible, avoid placing gates, stewards and judges’ tables next to those in neighboring rings. • Consider two gates per ring, one for dogs entering and one for dogs exiting. • Stewards should be responsible for finding the dog in the catalog if the exhibitor does not know the armband number and for handing out armbands. Stewards should not hand their catalog to exhibitors for review. Stewards should sanitize their hands frequently and consider wearing a face mask and gloves. • For outdoor shows consider marking off areas near the rings for exhibitors to set-up personal pop-up tents. This can also be done for areas near the buildings holding indoor events. • Create a ready ring area outside the show ring for exhibitors showing the breed being judged. • Clubs should consider not providing chairs. Private chairs should not be placed in higher traffic areas. 3. Scheduling – With the efforts to make shows safer, the event may take longer. Modified scheduling may assist with congestion and provide a better experience for exhibitors. If using a superintendent, work with them to create a schedule that assists with the situation. • Consider published judging segments shorter than one hour.
20
Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
• If possible, schedule groups to start following the completion of the respective breeds. This allows exhibitors the option to leave for the day. • As per AKC rules, Groups and Best in Show are optional for group and all-breed shows • Some shows may consider implementing entry limits. 4. Exhibitors • Prepare to be self-sufficient: bring sanitizer, bring a generator for electricity, bring personal use masks. • Know the armband numbers for your entries before going to the ring. • Do not congregate at the ring or ring gate. • While showing your dog, maintain social distances with other exhibitors. 5. Grooming • Recommend grooming beside the exhibitor’s vehicle including the use of pop-up tents should weather conditions warrant. • Design the layout of grooming areas and spaces to comply with the social distancing guidelines in place at the time. Marking off individual grooming spaces is encouraged. • Prohibit the use of forced air dryers in indoor grooming areas. 6. Judging is where the ability to socially distance becomes challenging. Taking care to protect the parties will require a concerted effort between the judge, steward and exhibitors. • Judges should consider wearing face masks if otherwise not required. • All classes should be called in catalog order to provide order and efficiency. • Judges must practice ring awareness, be conscious of spacing, and take appropriate measures to avoid crowding of exhibitors. • Judges are to have the exhibitor display the oral exam and may personally examine the mouth ONLY if absolutely necessary. By the nature of the procedure, judges must conduct thumb exams. • Judges should sanitize hands after examining each entry. Re-examining of dogs should be minimized. • Judges are encouraged to personally pull ribbons for placements. Coupled with frequent hand sanitizing, this will help mitigate contact exposure. • Equipment used to measure and/or weigh dogs must be sanitized before and after each use. • Clubs should consider providing boxed lunches for judges and volunteers. 7. Photographers should consider using a process where a photo of the judge is added to the photo of the dog. • Consider taking photos of each judge in the morning as though they were standing for an award photo. • Take win photos without judges.
21
Pharaoh Scribe June 2020
• Digitally insert the judge with the wins to finalize the photo. • Consider not using trophy presenters.
Temporary Changes to Help Clubs
1. Event Application Late Fees – Event application late fees are waived through the end of October. This provides clubs more flexibility in planning or rescheduling their events. 2. For events cancelled in 2020, AKC will apply Event Application fees to the club’s next event of the same type. 3. Assignment Conflicts for Conformation Judges – The 30 days/200-mile conflict distance policy for assignments has been suspended for shows held in 2020. 4. The same day exhibiting restriction for judges assigned only NOHS Groups and/or NOHS BIS has been waived for shows held in 2020. This will provide clubs greater flexibility and more options in the panel assignments. 5. Juniors that have turned 18 on or after March 1 may compete until Oct 31.
Participants are expected to follow state, local government, facility and event guidelines. Clubs should be prepared to enforce the guidelines that apply to their event. The conformation field reps will assist as always in an advisory capacity.
These Suggested Best Practices may be periodically updated. Please check the AKC conformation website (www.akc.org/sports/conformation/) for the most up-to-date version.

SCHEDULE OF POINTS
The Points toward a Championship shall be awarded to the Winners Dog and Bitch of each breed or variety based on the actual number of dogs or bitches competing in that breed or variety. If the dog designated Winners Dog or Winners Bitch is also awarded Best of Breed or Variety, the dogs of both sexes that have been entered for Best of Breed or Variety competition and that have been defeated in such competition, shall be counted in addition to the dogs that competed in the regular classes for its sex in calculating championship points. If the dog designated Winners Dog or Winners Bitch is also awarded Best of Opposite Sex to Best of Breed or Variety, the dogs of its own sex that have been entered for Best of Breed or Variety competition that have been defeated in competition for Best of Opposite Sex, shall be counted in addition to the dogs that competed in the regular classes for its sex in calculating championship points. After points have been computed for Winners Dog and Winners Bitch subject to the above two stipulations, the dog awarded the Best of Winners shall be credited with the number of points calculated for Winners Dog or Winners Bitch, whichever is greater. If no points are available for the Best of Winners, the number of regular class dogs in both sexes are added together and compared to the point schedule. If the total sum of regular class dogs and bitches meets or exceeds the number of competitors needed for one point in its sex, the Best of Winners will receive one championship point. In counting the number of eligible dogs in competition, a dog that is disqualified, or that is dismissed, excused or ordered from the ring by the judge, or from which all awards are withheld shall not be included. Any dog which shall have won fifteen points shall become a Champion of Record, if six or more of said points shall have been won at two shows with a rating of three or more championship points each and under two different judges, and some one or more of the balance of said points shall have been won under some other judge or judges than the two judges referred to above.

The Pharaoh Hound Club of America Treasurer’s 2020 1st Quarter Report May 11, 2020
Account Summary – Quarter 1 Balances at the close of the 1st Quarter are as follows.
Account Balances: 03/31/20 Account Balances: 12/31/19 Business Checking: $ 8,836.37* Business Checking: $ 6,679.18 Business Market Rate Savings: $14,412.25 Business Market Rate Savings: $14,411.26 Pam Haig Mem. Rescue Fund: $24,601.85 Pam Haig Mem. Rescue Fund: $24,295.78
Total Accounts Balance: $47,850.47 Total Accounts Balance: $45,386.22
*The balance in the Business Checking Account includes monies earmarked as rescue donations. Rescue Account and Business Checking Account balances after expense disbursement, will be resolved with a transfer of $1,104.75 in rescue funding remaining in the Business Checking Account. As of May 15, 2020, the Rescue Account will appropriately reflect available funds.
Rescue A rescue effort for the Pharaoh Hound, Tut, was initiated in January. An email blast for special donations was requested to underwrite expenses for the care and transportation for the dog. Logistics for this rescue were complicated by the Tut’s location and his new family’s location. Nine people joined in this successful effort. Donations for the Tut rescue effort totaled $424.68, net after fees. ($515.00 gross) Expenses incurred for Tut’s transport totaled $362.26.
An additional $1,076.76, net after fees, ($1,110.00 gross) was tagged for our rescue fund in February and March. Jodi Lewis donated one her beautiful rescue quilts, purchased by Jerry Marchelletta for $1000.00. Thank you, Jodi and Jerry! Two donors contributed rescue money with their sponsorships for the 2020 Western and Independent Specialty. (See further information below.)
We received a wonderful letter and donation from Delores Cleavenger, a Pharaoh Hound owner who lost her two beloved Pharaohs, McCullough and A.J. last year and recently. Because her dogs had health issues, Ms. Cleavenger donated $300.00 to our rescue fund, in memory of her two special family members, for other dogs with health and welfare issues.

Along with Delores Cleavenger, Jerry Marchelletta and Jodi Lewis, we also thank the following people for their generosity towards the PHCA’s rescue efforts. Thank you, Luciane Terra, P. Christianson, Robin Phinney, Sheila Hall, Rachel Lachow, Robert Earnest, Rebecca Stephens, LaRee Drolet, and Katherine Smith.
As of the close of the first quarter, 2020, expenses paid out of our Business Checking Account for rescue totaled $576.32 with donations coming into the Business account through PayPal totaling $1,681.07. On May 15, 2020, $1,104.75 will be transferred into the Pam Haig Memorial Rescue Account.
Membership: As of May 1, 2020, we have 104 members, with two new members approved by the Board. Welcome to Hannah Pemberton and Kathy Neal. One applicant is awaiting a Board vote and four new applications have been processed. Our dues income is important to our club and we thank all members for their continued involvement with the PHCA.
Events Events in 2020 are at best, in a state of uncertainty with most cancelled or delayed. Although the PHCA had scheduled a Western and Independent Specialty event in conjunction with the Southern California Hound Classic in April, the event was cancelled. Prior to the cancellation, sponsorships had been solicited through the PHCA Online Store. All donations will be set aside for a Western Specialty in 2021.
2020 Western & Independent Specialties - Cancelled (Southern California Hound Classic) The PHCA participates in this event each year. In 2019, the financial results are as follows: Income: $1,376.30 net – $1,415.00 gross Expenses: ($ 344.00) Net Income for PHCA: $932.30 * *$110 of total gross income was earmarked for rescue.
Event Planning With the pandemic, the PHCA Board has refocused on the need event planning in advance, for future years. Recognizing the need for more informative and communicative documents, the Board approved updates to the 2019 Specialty Guidelines document. An updated guide was recently uploaded to the PHCA’s website.
To accompany the Specialty Guidelines, a Specialty Financial and Budget Guide with sample forms is in development. These documents include financial planning considerations that we hope will provide more comprehensive assistance to potential event teams in the staging of successful specialty events. With the Board’s newly appointed Specialty Chair, the PHCA Treasurer will be actively working with event teams to facilitate best practices for event planning and management. The Board is soliciting proposals for future specialty events. As Treasurer, I will be happy to provide information to anyone interested in offering a location and a proposal for an upcoming event.
Report respectfully submitted: Mary G. Severino, PHCA Treasurer
