  • Ian Macinnes 1 He Hath Been Brought up in the Ile
    Ian MacInnes MASTIFFS AND SPANIELS: GENDER AND NATION IN THE ENGLISH DOG He hath been brought up in the Ile of Dogges & can both fawne like a Spaniell, and bite like a Mastive. – Moll Cutpurse In her seminal book on animals in the nineteenth century, The Animal Estate, Harriet Ritvo postulates that “animal-related discourse has often functioned as an extended, if unacknowledged metonymy, offering participants a concealed forum for the expression of opinions and worries imported from the human cultural arena."1 Most recent work on animals in early modern England has concentrated on the degree to which such opinions and worries concern the animal-human boundary and the question of what it means to be human.2 This large issue was certainly as much in question for the early moderns as it has been since, but it can tend to obscure some of the more unique deployment of animals at work in the period. Animal discourse may fit into larger philosophical or theological ideas about humanity but actual animals could also be deployed, consciously and more or less systematically, as a vehicle for expressing attitudes specific to a place and time. In what follows I explore one such metonymy in early modern England. It is a metonymy that links English dogs with early modern English attitudes toward national character, attitudes in which hopes and anxieties about nation and gender coincide. By the end of the sixteenth century England was already considered to have a unique relationship with dogs, and England ’s nascent national identity was already connected with the dogs for which it was famous throughout Europe.

  • AKC Education Webinar Series: FSS/Miscellaneous Questions and Answers
    AKC Education Webinar Series: FSS/Miscellaneous Questions and Answers 1. Can an FSS Parent Club offer an ATT Test? If the Parent Club is licensed to hold any event, it may offer an ATT Test. 2. For a domestically evolving breed that started with an independent registry for 20 years, then accepted into UKC for an additional 20 years, can these two be combined to qualify for the 40 years required to be considered into FSS, or must the 40 be done within the same registry body? The history of a breed having a registry for a minimum of 40 years can be merged as described, staff will review to determine if it would meet the parameters required. 3. Does AKC have reciprocity with UKC? AKC has open registration with individual breeds with that are registered by UKC. A breed requesting to be enrolled in the AKC FSS based upon UKC recognition would have reciprocity, if it meets the number of years being in existence, until the breed becomes AKC recognized. At which time the individual breeds may request to keep the studbook open for UKC registered dogs. 4. Is it a good practice to submit all of the required data to AKC in one PDF electronically to FSS as a final submission, once all criteria is met for the ease of processing? The FSS Department keeps track of required data, meeting minutes maybe a PDF, the other requirements need to be in different formats. Breed Standard needs to be a word document, membership list needs to be in an Excel as provided.
