Waggin’ TalesFox Valley Dog Training ClubVolume XVIssue 5May 2006Volunteers keep Club hummingIn this IssueDOT Report page 1Sandi Stephenson, Director of TrainingBrags & Bravos page 2Training continues to go well, and I amgrateful to all members for their part in keepingit — and the Club — running smoothly. I see somany, in their own way, doing something tohelp out on Thursdays.I particularly want to say “thank you” toUtility handlers who show their considerationfor those waiting for rings, by keeping their runthru times to 10 minutes.I also want to thank Instructors for keepingtheir own dogs crated while teaching, so theirfull attention can be given to their students.As always, our instructors deserve most ofthe credit for our many happy trainees. Howlong could Fox Valley survive without thesepeople who willingly donate their time to helpothers learn to train dogs? It’s not an easy job,yet it’s one our instructors tend to do year in andyear out.New Members page 3In a crisis, pet owners defyauthorities page 3Labradors still #1 page 5Health warning page 5Membership Meetingminutes.page 6AKC News pages 9-10Return of the Nasties page 11New AKC SportsmanshipCode page 12Spring Ring Layout page 13Calendar page 14I am sad to report that one of those tirelesstrainers, Rick Cox, has resigned as Open Classinstructor, effective at the end of this session.He has done a wonderful job with this class andwill be missed. Thank you Rick, for all of yourhard work for the club over these past severalyears. You have certainly earned a break.

DOT, continued from page 1Fox Valley DTC! Pretty amazing, I don't knowhow she does it, but I’m sure glad she does!Thank you Cheryl!If you are looking for a way to help theClub—we always need help at the front table.Even if you could commit to a half-hour itwould help and be most appreciated.It was great to see the always smiling BarbMicsh there greeting trainees last week. Thanks,Barb!We also need assistants for the next sessionin the 7 p.m. Beginners Class.Thanks to Bill Clarke for helping Sandy withBeginners last session. I know he already assistswith 4-H and is trying to get his own dogs readyto show, so please, someone step up and volunteer for this class.Thanks also to Club Treasurer Dale Swanson, who agreed to assist Terri again in the 8p.m. Beginners Class. Have you noticed howmany people wear several hats?Look at Ed Herdes, our "whenever you needsomething" go-to guy. He is still doing a greatjob with the 9 p.m. Beginners Class, but I justknow he would love an assistant too.Nancy Pederson is an instructor and she alsohas a most difficult "behind the scenes" job asClub Registrar. Without someone to set up andco-ordinate students for our classes, we wouldnot have our club for very long. Thanks, Nancy,and we all hope you are completely “heeled”and fully recovered from your foot surgery.Give your dogs a big hug.Date changes for FallCorrection MatchJan Schomer, Match ChairOur September Correction Match has beenchanged to September 14th, due to a changewith the Fairgrounds.

In a crisis, most pet owners would defyauthorities and stay with their petMaybe it’s just one more take-away from Katrina. A recent survey conducted by the American Kennel Club shows that of pet owners polled, 62%said that if they were forced to evacuate their homes to a location wherethey could not bring their pets, they would defy authorities and stay withtheir animals.In addition, 97% would take their pets with them in case of an evacuation 97% keep up with vaccinations 79% permanently identify their pets through microchipping ortattoo 62% have a family evacuation plan in case a natural disaster hits 61% have a pet evacuation plan 23% were prompted to design an emergency plan for their pet afterHurricanes Katrina/Rita 91% of owners say they have a copy of their pet’s vaccinationrecords 79% have their AKC registration papers 93% have an extra leash 89% have extra dog food—some of the basics for a pet disaster kitWhile survey respondents overwhelmingly consider their animals to bemembers of the family, there are some troubling indicators that many arenot prepared to safely evacuate their pets if the need arises. Of those whodo not have an evacuation plan for their pet, 22% say it is because they livein a geographic location that isn’t a likely target for terrorism or is not susceptible to natural disasters or other disasters, while over half (52%) saidthey would like to have one but didn’t know how to put one together.While a majority of owners have vaccination records, extra food andwater on hand for their pets, 76% do not have the items assembled in aportable pet disaster kit in the case of an immediate evacuation.More than half (55%) of respondents do not have a list of hotels thataccept pets outside their area’s evacuation zone.Pet Owners Level of Preparedness Varies by RegionThe impact of hurricanes was apparent in the survey findings, as Southeast residents are the most prepared to safely evacuate their pets in case ofan emergency, with nearly three quarters of those polled (74%) reportingthat they have an evacuation plan for their pet and 29% reporting they havea pet disaster kit assembled.Midwest Pet Owners the least preparedIn the Midwest, only 18% of pet owners surveyed claimed to have a petdisaster kit assembled in case of an evacuation, the lowest percentage in thenation. In fact, only 58% of Midwesterners polled claimed to have evacuation plans for themselves and their families. Have you gotten your plan andkit together yet?

Order fall Obedience Trial trophies nowFrom the Editor’s End of the CouchAnne Stuessy, EditorThe Obedience Trial Trophy Committee is starting to compile a list oftrophies for this year’s trial (e.g. Novice Open, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Place;Top-Winning Border Collie, etc.). This compilation is essential in order toensure that the trophies that need to be purchased are ordered and to ensurethat we can publish the trophies in the Trial Invitation (Premium) and Program.If you plan to ask the Trophy Committee to purchase a trophy for you,you must make that request by June 1st.If you plan to donate your own prize, you must still let the TrophyCommittee know the details (see below) no later than June 30th to ensureit is listed.To submit information to the committee, please complete the form below and send it to:Peggy Sue Seehafer4N115 Trotter LaneSt. Charles, IL 60175Fox Valley Dog Training Club Obedience TrialI would like to contribute to the 2006 ObedienceTrial Trophy Fund.I would like to sponsor the following Trophy(ies):Please check the appropriate response:I will be purchasing/furnishing my own prize(s) forthe Trophy(ies) I am sponsoring.I would like to give a cash prize. (Please specifyamount for each trophy you are sponsoring)I would like to contribute to the general trophy fund– please apply where needed.Total Amount I am contributing: Name and phone number:Please attach a separate piece of paper if you are including a dedication or memorial in the premium listwith your name.This was a more challenging issue for methan usual, because two potential articles forcedme to re-visit the role of Waggin’ Tales and myown goal for the newsletter.Of course, the primary role of any Club’snewsletter is to communicate the activities of theClub to Club members. No hand wringing there.Well, except when they’re around the necks ofwriters whose stories are late, but that’s anotherstory. Waggin’ Tales conveys news of the Boardand committees, Trials and Training schedules,health classes and membership and the like.But the content and tone of any club’s communications—its newsletter, website, meetings,press releases, and particularly the messagesconveyed from trainer to class, from member tomember, and from member to outsider — alsodefine it.It’s no secret that 2005 was a rough year.You could read that in the Board minutes, inWT and hear it any time members gathered. Butby the end of the year it was also pretty clearthat most members had tired of the negativityand wanted to put it behind us.When I took the editor post, my goal was topublish a newsletter focused on what we share—the joys, surprises, humiliations, triumphs, challenges and even heartaches of life with our dogs.So, when I received an article that rattled thebars of an old disagreement, my heart sank. Igave it a lot of thought, and in the end decidedto not run it.That doesn’t mean Waggin’ Tales won’taddress contentious issues, it must and it will.But there comes a time when an editor has tosay, enough. Enough has been written on a topicfor now, and leave members to make up theirown minds.Of course a few issues may be revisited timeand again, if there really is new information orif it makes sense due to membership turnover.Then all sides must be presented and kickedabout, and then again left to members to decidefor themselves.The second article to give me pause thismonth, and one on which I would expect some4 Continued on page 9

Labradors retain hold on “mostpopular” breedFor the 16th consecutive year, the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred dog in America, according to AKC registration figures.The Golden Retriever held onto the number two spot with the YorkshireTerrier making significant gains — beating the German Shepherd Dog andBeagle — to become the third most popular dog in the country.In the Chicago area, however, it was the German Shepherd taking thenumber two spot and the Golden Retriever in third place.Ten most popular dog breeds in the US1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.Retrievers (Labrador)Retrievers (Golden)Yorkshire TerriersGerman ShepherdsBeaglesDachshundsBoxersPoodlesShih TzuMiniature SchnauzersTen most popular dog breeds inChicago1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.Retrievers (Labrador)German ShepherdsRetrievers (Golden)BoxersPugsYorkshire TerriersRottweilersBulldogsShih TzuPoodlesInstructor Carolyn Pearson can’tresist any puppy, but everyoneknows her softest spot is “pureGold.”Equine wormer warning: Ivermectincan be fatal to dogsThanks to Marie Jarosch for letting us reprint the following message which she sentto Terri Byerly, as it contains valuable safety information. It is edited slightly forlength.Terri,I am from your Thursday night 8 p.m. beginner class. Nicki and I willnot be at class tonight. I am hopeful that next week all will be back tonormal and we will be back in class. We had a challenging day yesterday,and I wanted to share it with all of you so thatyou can warn others and prevent a day like theone we had!We have three horses at home. Our daystarted fairly normal. My husband, George, andI went out to feed the horses before work, andthen came in to take Nicki outside. I was horrified as I watched her walk to the back door. Shewas unsteady on her feet and her back end wasfailing beneath her. She seemed alert, but whenI picked her up, her legs shook like a Parkinson’s patient. She was also panting heavily, herheart was racing and she was slobbering.Fortunately our small animal Vet (Greg) ismy husband’s best friend and he seems unaffected by us calling him at all hours. As we discussed the potential causes, we focused on thefact that George had fertilized the night beforeand perhaps she was having a reaction.He told us to call the Animal Poison ControlCenter hotline (888-426-4435) and open a casewith them, and then call him back with the casenumber. Apparently they keep a database of allpoisonous agents and treatment for animals, andfor a 50 fee they are extremely helpful. Wecalled them and there was no answer on the 24hour emergency number! Greg told us to forcefluids in her and try to get her to eat, and keepcalling the number.No luck with Animal Poison Control, so thenext approach we tried was to call the Fertilizermanufacturer. We left a message there and by 8a.m. they called us back. They were willing tobet money that their product could not be thecause. Apparently they only use less than 1%herbicide in their product. They thought this wastoo insignificant to cause the issues we wereseeing, so they encouraged us to think aboutother things that Nicki could have gotten into.With that information, I continued to roll theprevious night through my brain. I rememberedthat I had wormed the horses the night before.Worming can be messy as horses occasionallysnort and spit out some of the wormer. Nicki isalways with me in the barn, but I hadn’t seenNicki licking up anything. I could not believethat could be the reason, but it was the onlything different from our normal routine.The Ivermectin (wormer) packaging warnedContinued on page 125

FVDTC May Membership Meeting HighlightsMeeting brought to order at 7:42 p.m.Members heard a presentation from CanineCompanions for Independence (see box).Carolyn Pearson, Secretary.

Shewill then present your ideas to the Board fordiscussion.We are desperately in need of help at thefront table on training nights. Without the tablebeing manned, guests are not welcomed properly and we lose income. Half hour slots arereasonable and appreciated and volunteers doreceive work credit. Please remember that forthe club to continue to exist, we all have to worktogether to keep it afloat. Simply paying dues inany club is never truly enough. There is a signup sheet at the table, please help fill empty slots.Dale Swanson, Treasurer, reported that theclub has money.Sandi Stephenson, Director of Training,stated that we need primary and assistant instructors. Sandi also stated that if anyone is interested in substituting to please contact her andshe will start a list of volunteers.

She received e-mail confirmations fromCarol Gillum and Jean, puppy raisers fromCanine Companions for Independence (CCI),gave a very interesting presentation about theirorganization at the May Membership Meeting.CCI is a non-profit organization, founded in1975, that enhances the lives of people withdisabilities by providing highly trained assistance dogs and ongoing support to ensure quality partnerships. CCI is funded through privatecontributions.CCI dogs are usually purebred Labrador orGolden Retrievers and also Labrador/GoldenRetriever mixes that are either bred by the organization or donated by breeders.“Puppy raisers” typically foster the puppiesfrom the time they are eight weeks old until theyare twelve to fourteen months, and in that timethey teach 26 commands. Approximately 40%of the puppies successfully complete this portion of the process, after which there is a sixmonth evaluation in the CCI training facility inOhio. So far in 2006, 42 dog-human teams havebeen paired up. CCI offers the following fourtypes of service dogs:Mobility – This dog offers assistance to individuals who need help with physical tasks, suchretrieving or picking up items.Facility – This dog works in rehabilitationcenters and convalescent homes.Hearing – This dog offers assistance forindividuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.Skilled Companion – This dog boosts confidence and alleviates isolation to individuals whoare at least five years old.When the dogs are teamed with their individuals, they train together for a minimum oftwo weeks.The puppy raisers pay for all expenses including getting the puppies from the breedersand then back to Ohio.6 Continued on page 7

Helensaid that the owners of the SportsPlexinitially stated that the fee for a 2007event would be 365.00 per hour ascompared to the 270.00 per hour forthe 2006 event. She is attempting to negotiate a more reasonable cost withthe owners. She will keep us informed as things progress.Helen stated that plans are progressing well for the Fall Outdoor AgilityTrial. The event will be located in the southwest corner of the fairgroundsinside the grounds’ fencing. Due to the close proximity of the Moose Club,Taffy suggested that we contact the Moose Club to determine if there willbe any outdoor events on the Moose grounds that would cause distractionsto the agility trial. We will have use of the horse barn (no walls, but a roof),indoor bathrooms and a smaller building for the trial secretary. Helen reported that the Fairgrounds is working to provide suitable parking, thoughthe location is uncertain at this time due to construction. The club’s ringgates will be used to create the two 100’ x 100’ rings necessary for the trial.Carolyn Pearson, Annual Dinner Chairperson, reported that thanksto the hard work of the committee: Francene Andresen, Ingrid Hamburger, Sue and Holly MacPherson the dinner was a lot of fun. However,the committee would not be doing it again next year. Carolyn stated that bywaiting until October to start planning the event, it was too late to get everything done without rushing through all the hard work necessary for thisfestive club event. She stated that if no one volunteers for the next dinnerby July 1st, the dinner will be cancelled. Anyone who wants to volunteerfor the dinner and awards chairs should contact Dave Lewis(president@fvdtc.org or 630-897-4267) or her (secretary@fvdtc.org or630-231-5658) before July 1st.

Membership Meeting continued from page 7a fantastic task list that is very helpful.Fundraising Chairperson – VACANT.Dave reported that we are still in need of a newFundraising Chair to replace Joe and KathyBusch who movedto Florida for anew job. PeggySue Seehafer volunteered to helpwith the gift wrapping event at theBarnes & Noble during the holiday season.Penny Brcich/Jan Schomer/Sandi Stephenson (Match Co-chairs) Sandi stated thatshe needs a Novice A Judge for the May 18thCorrection Clinic.

Sue donated the winnings back to the club. As decided in a recentBoard meeting, the dollar bucket amount will beused toward defraying the September trackingtest expenses.Old BusinessModification of Membership Fee StructureDave explained that this topic has beenbrought up during several recent board meetingsto better represent the relationship of activelyworking club members and the club. Dave statedthat the following ideas had been introduced atthe meetings and could be used as a starting point for the topic. Changing the club calendar to January through December Define what available training rings are desired by club members Define what other type of classes are desired by club members Should dues and fees be tied directly to work and participation? Should "work and participation" be measured differently (e.g. withpoints, work credits, hours, etc.)? Does the club want to pursue adding a second night? If so, howwould we pay for it, how would we ‘staff’ the extra classes andwhat type of classes would be offered?Dave stated that rather than open the discussion at the meeting and continue the meeting until 3:00 a.m., he would be collecting comments fromclub members. Dave said that in order to obtain feedback from the clubmembers, a survey form will be created to assist in obtaining the information. Once the survey is ready, it will be available on the club’s websiteand in the Waggin’ Tales. All comments from the survey will be collectedand collated. Many of the ideas that were discussed require additional volunteers to work. Sandi Stephenson stated that she has difficulty gettinginstructors for the classes that we currently offer.(Secretary’s Note: Each session of classes requires a total of 18 primary and assistant instructors PER night. When 4-H is in session, an additional four to six instructors are required.)Peggy Sue Seehafer stated that fairgrounds have offered the opportunityto rent the building for two back-to-back nights, such as Wednesday andThursday. IF it is determined that the membership wants to rent the fairgrounds for additional training/class times AND are willing to volunteer,two nights would be good.Sandi Stephenson stated that the current Board has done a wonderfuljob trying to the meet the needs of all, from the 4-H students to the competitive club members. She also said that very few clubs can offer activitiesof this caliber. Peggy Sue stated that a large number of the Advanced Beginner’s students are club members who want to continue training theirdogs and a small portion are drop-in trainers who pay the guest training fee.Sandi reminded everyone that, with the exception of the rings used by thePuppy and Beginner Classes, all training rings are shareable. The trainersshould ask to share the training ring. Sandi stated that anyone who meetswith resistance should see her. Carolyn stated that she is always willing toshare ‘her’ 8:00 p.m. Advanced Beginner’s class ring. The distractions aregood for the students and the trainers.New BusinessOpen Communication ExpectationsDave stated that all club members should expect that when feedback issought by any Board member for club related items, that the informationwill be shared among the entire Board. This must be done in order to facilitate communication from club members to the entire Board, regardlessof which Board member receives the information. This includes snail mailContinued on page 98

Membership Meeting, continued from page 8and e-mail messages sent to Board members’personal e-mail addresses. Unless specificallydirected, communications made to one Boardmember is the same as communicating to allBoard members.Pup & People Pool PartyCarolyn announced that the Second AnnualPup & People PoolParty is scheduledfor Saturday, September 9th. Markyourcalendars!Ask anyone whoattended last yearhow much fun theyhad and plan oncoming out.A motion wasmade, seconded and approved to adjourn themeeting at 9:35 p.m.Editor, continued from page 4disagreement, is the American Kennel Club’splea for clubs to help them fight an anti-taildocking/ear cropping bill (see page 8).I have to confess up front, that this is anissue I do not know a lot about, and I wouldwelcome information and opinions from members who have studied it.The article is a passionate call and a top priority for the AKC, so as editor of an affiliatedclub newsletter, I felt it was my responsibility toprint it. So I am running it, despite the fact that Ifind the very idea that a dog has to be surgicallyaltered in order to conform to a breed standard,oxymoronic at best. If the Breed Clubs/AKCwon’t do away with alter
