have judges.
- Sweepstakes:
Our own Theresa Miller.
- Specialty: Paula
Nykiel.
The new secretary
is Mary Lee Raines. maryleebc@earthlink.net.
Premiums will be available as soon as I have time to review
it ?. They will be available on the web site. Hard copies
will be available only upon request. Notification of availability
will be posted to the MVVC list.
We need trophy donations! Please contact Margaret eschaefe@columbus.rr.com
as soon as possible. The format is pretty much what it has
been in the past. Sweepstakes with the Echo Hills All breed
show Saturday morning. The Specialty will be in the evening
after the All-breed Best in Show. The main difference is that
the regular classes will be outdoors and the non-regular classes
will be indoors.
We do need volunteers to: sell raffle tickets, order and
pick up the specialty food, and judges hospitality. Please
let me know if you are interested in helping with this event.
I look forward to hearing from you.

GENERAL
NEWS: There has been lots of activity in OH recently. I have been
getting lots of inquiries though of course they are for young dogs
(less than 1 year old) or puppies. Not too many of those end up
in rescue. I’ll list the dogs in need of a home below.
The major issues facing MVVC’s rescue program are now two
fold. As I have asked before, we need a coordinator for Ohio and
West Virginia. I wanted to turn over the position last fall. I
am suffering from a case of burn out and want to prevent it from
getting worse plus I am hoping for a change in my schedule. At
the very latest there must be a volunteer by the end of the summer.
The second issue facing MVVC’s rescue program is that Lisa
Anderson (Toth) has moved to NY and needs to be replaced also
as the IN coordinator and MVVC’s Rescue Chair. I would be
happy to discuss the positions with anyone who would like more
information. Up until the last few years, I was the coordinator
for OH, WV, IN and KY. It is not impossible to handle several
areas. I decided to split it up because it was just a long time
for me to do it alone.
Once again, I must
thanks Karen Fischesser for always putting everything she can
into saving these rescues. Karen responded to the call for help
with a young male in Union County, OH. She drove well over 200
miles round trip to pick up the dog and is currently fostering
him. Thanks to her we can find an appropriate home after his evaluation
and fattening up period.
"Champ"
2 – 3 year
old male currently in foster care with Karen F. White on chest,
feet and small amount on top of head. Full tail. So far, very
well behaved, housebroken and crate trained. Good with other
dogs. He is now neutered.
|
 |
 |
"Josie"
7.5 year old female
currently with her owner. Will go into foster care soon if
not adopted. Very healthy and active. Very well trained. Good
with kids and other dogs. Never been around cats. Exceptional
dog.
|
"Ginger"
There is still
the older female that is not being given any attention in
her current home. She had lots of training as a young dog
as her owner did 4-H activities with her. She is 9 years old,
spayed, crate trained and housebroken. She is showing signs
of frustration at the lack of attention she is getting. Good
with dogs and kids. All signs point to being good with cats.
|
 |
3-
6 year old male. The breeder was very responsible and took
the dog back. However, he needs a home. I believe he is housebroken,
good with other dogs and kids. Please contact Pam for more
information. No picture available.

| First
of all my apologies for missing both the board and membership meetings.
I told everyone that Tega would whelp on the 28th… And she
did. I was all packed with whelping materials “just in case”
when her water broke. Tega’s decision pulled two board members
away. She is fine, the pups are healthy, but I wish she had waited
24 hours. Then again, Sunday was a wet cold day and walking her
outside would have been very uncomfortable for all of us!
Next, I want to appreciate
our appreciation to Clara Kayser for taking on the Membership Chair
job even though she was fighting health issues. She has resigned
the job and MVVC is looking for a replacement. If you are interested,
please let me know.
The MVVC needs to know
what we need to do to help members volunteer to run the events that
are the essence of the club. We need to teach newcomers the different
jobs and make those who chair/Secty/work at the events know how
much they are appreciated!
As you will note by the
red in the list below we need some volunteers, or we will not be
holding the event. If you are new to the club and want to help,
but need mentoring, just let me know.. If you are experienced in
running the event and want a mentor, let me know and we will entice
the newbies :>)
Be there or
let me know if you are willing to chair, secretary, help at any
of the following MVVC events.
- April 8 & 9 MVVC
Field Trial - Paul Grice & Greg King are Co-chairs and Jan
Wallace offered to be the secretary

I think I got all the
dates right-if the corresponding date calendar is right…
I will not see you at
the May meeting… As usual I have a vacation conflict (we have
got to work on changing the meeting date, as I cannot change the
May trip dates).
Happy hunting, showing,
competing or just being with your Vizsla!
