From the American Kennel
Club
November 21, 2005
From John Rabidou
Director of Performance Events:
It has come to our attention that the intent or "spirit"
of the use of tracking collars is being violated. Specifically,
that the contestants are working their dogs in a foot handling call-back
for kill and retrieve situation with a tracking collar on the dog.
Clearly, there is little danger of the dog getting lost in a call-back
situation, therefore the conclusion is that the tracking collar
is being used a subtle means of control or intimidation. Wit this
in mind, the AKC hereby informs all pointing breed clubs that tracking
collars are not to be allowed on any dog in a foot handling call-back
for kill and retrieve situations. If there was a call back in a
run off situation where two or more dogs were run on a back course
to determine a winner, a tracking collar would be allowed.
For further clarification, do not hesitate to contact this office
or any AKC field representative.
Sincerely
John W. Rabidou

THANKING
MEMBERS FOR "GET-WELL" WISHES
Dear MVVC Folks,
I greatly
appreciate all your cards and e-mails during my still lengthy
recovery. Eight weeks without a red nose dog to hug was tough.
It is great to finally be in my own home with my two old dogs.
I have more healing to do before the youngsters can rejoin the
family -- hopefully, later this year.
Thank
you for remembering me during this trying time.

"Spyder"
In April
Spyder double Q’d both days of the only agility trial
we did this year -- with two 1st placements and two 2nd placements
!!!!!! Spyder’s Jumper Q’s were obtained with
his good friend, Joanne, handling him. They were fast courses
and there was little chance that I could have kept up with
him. In the Standard courses, after being sure that there
were plenty of friends around to pick me up if needed and
someone to call 911, I ran with Spyder. Wow, it was so good
to be out there with him again. And, the most amazing thing
happened - Spyder set his pace with my slower, not so
|
smooth
running style. He was awesome!!! The AKC rep was very impressed
by all the vizslas running that weekend. She made it a point
both days to say how great the vizslas did and how much fun
it was to watch them.
Spyder
also had some nice wins at several specialties this summer.
- MVVC
Specialty in June he took 1st place in Stud Dog
- Michigan
Specialty he won Best inVeteran Sweeps
- VCGC
Specialty Spyder took
- 1st
place in Stud Dog
- 1st
place in Veteran Dog.
Another
thank you to Sue for handling Spyder at these shows. |

Passing
of a True Friend
On November
28th I lost a very close friend. Paul Rothan informed us that
he was taking
"Fox"
DC/AFC Fieldstone's Lord Fox of Lindn SH, VC
down to
have him put to rest. Fox had been diagnosed with cancer and was
rapidly losing the battle. Even as strong willed as Fox was, this
was something that he could not overcome. Paul did the right thing
by not
allowing Fox to suffer. He deserved more than that. Although I
was not with Paul physically when this happened, I am sure that
it affected him as much as it did me. Fox was definately Paul's
buddy.
Fox was
the type of dog that you either absolutely loved or hated. There
was no middle of the road with Fox. It was either blue or nothing.
Along with being the breeders of Fox, I have had the opportunity
(thanks to
|
the
Rothan's) to be able to train and handle him since he was a very
young pup. Fox is the type of dog that you only get once in a career
and you have to make the best of it.
During
Fox's career, he had made a definate impact on this breeds' performance
by raising the bar to a level that only a select few will ever reach.
Although Fox never won the nationals (outright) I can't tell you
the amount of times that he was a definate contender. From running
in the derby stakes in Florida, to having to run him hard for an
hour prior to running in the second series in Illinois to finding
the unreachable interstate in Arizonia. It was also at the Arizonia
nationals where the judge rode up to me and made the comment of,
"What a nice dog. He is just TOO much dog for the nationals".
I believe that this was the only nationals where he did not at least
make the second series.
I want
to thank everyone who handled Fox for the Rothan's. This was not
an easy chore. I also want to thank everyone who scouted for Fox
over the years. They and their horses both came back lathered up
on more than one occassion. Fox was the type of dog that kept you
on your toes and sitting high in the saddle at all times. What an
incredible dog. Holly Hanna spent many hours trying to round Fox
up down at Rend Lake while Paul hunted with Fox. He was doing exactly
what he should have been doing, only it happened to be 6 or 7 fields
away.
Fox not
only left his mark on this breed, but also in my heart. I have never
worked harder or was more pleased with any dog than I was with him.
Fox only had one purpose in life and that was to find birds, lots
and lots of birds. Although he was an awful nice house dog and companion
too.
Again Paul
and Shirley, thank you so much for allowing us to have so much fun
with your boy. He will be remembered by many who had the opportunity
to watch his show. He will never be held back anymore and will be
able to finally run like he has wanted to for 8 years now. His course
is now the universe, since he has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.
Enjoy Fox,
my friend, you have definately earned it. "ATTTTTTTTA BOYYYYYYY".
Rest in peace my friend.
Denny &
Linda Keeton

This will be
very short as I have little to talk about
First the news:
- Elsewhere
in this Issue is a letter from the AKC regarding use of tracking
collars during call-backs. Please read it and pass the word to
other Field Trialers.
- Thanks:
Thanks to EVERONE that has worked at any event this past year.
It does not matter how important or time consuming the job you
did was, what is important is that you worked as a member of the
club!
The club is
a collection of individuals that have a variety of interest, a variety
of personalities, and a variety of temperaments. The way that everyone
on the grounds pulled together when Clara decided to go helicopter
riding shows what the club is all about. Because I got a phone call
and ran out, I was privileged to see the essence of the club and
those at the grounds. Great work people.
Upcoming Events:
- Christmas
(New Year) party at the Schaefers –
Saturday January 28
Be there or
let me know if you are willing to chair, secretary, help at any
of the following MVVC events.
- April 8 &
