Happy Holidays to all of you! It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only days away. Our annual Christmas

Party was a huge success and if you didn’t make it you truly missed out! We had 30 members in attendance and the food was fantastic and the White Elephant gift exchange continues to provide so many laughs your cheeks hurt by the end of the evening. We did see the side of some that we NEVER knew existed!

At our annual meeting we had the election of new officers for the upcoming year. Chris Reedy is our new

President and brings many years of experience in the dog world in conformation, tracking, obedience and breeder of Aussie’s.

Terry Kuhn is 1 st Vice President has a wealth of knowledge of dog shows and rules which is blessing to this club. 2 nd Vice President is Sandy Moody who has served as our Hunt Test

Chair , Trophy Chair , and in charge of our ribbons for our specialty. Sandy is the person who has done a fantastic job of taking all of these areas to the next level and beyond and has been very involved not only in our hunt test, but our specialty as well. Chris Pilcher returns as Secretary of our club and does a

FANTASTIC job making sure that we are in compliance in all areas and a great organizer and communicator. Chris & husband Ed and daughters Annie & Kate have organized the food at our specialty for years is also an extremely dedicated member of our club. Bruce Arnold & Ray McVeigh are the new

Field Co-Chairs and brings a wealth of knowledge in the field and promises to continue to have our club expand in that area. Cindy Baatz continues on as our Rescue Chair and is admired by all of us for her dedication to those ES in need. Sandy Miller returns to Membership Chair and does an awesome job promoting our club handling the membership.

Sandy also serves as Secretary for the English Setter

Association of America . I have returned to the position of Treasurer, Newsletter Editor, and 2012 Show

Chair. I am always honored to serve the club. If you would like to contribute to the newsletter in any way please send me and email and know it is “our” newsletter and contributions are welcome form all members.

This fall was very successful for many Michigamme members in the field, conformation ring, obedience ring, and agility. Michigamme continues to grow to be a club that is inclusive of all the things our setters are capable of doing.

Bruce Arnold & Ray McVeigh are busy planning the spring hunt test; we are also already working on the

2012 Specialty as well. Our Supported Entries are at the Oakland County Kennel Club, Detroit Kennel

Club, Progressive Kennel Club, and Ann Arbor Kennel Club (please see dates & judges in the Supported

Entry Section.) Sandy Moody & Terry Kuhn are the Supported Entry Chairs and continue to research other All Breed Shows to support.

I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that the English Setter world lost the best friend it could have. Dick

Fox lost his 2 year battle with cancer. Dick worked so hard for the health of our breed and served for many years on the Board of the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. I cannot tell you what a valuable resource Dick was for all of us – I speak for many when I say he was a friend and will truly be missed!

Wishing you all the best this Holiday Season!

This month’s featured columnist

AKC Judge Penny Disiena …

Sportsmanship

When asked to write this short column I considered whether to come from the breeder/owner side or the judge’s side of things.

I guess I choose the judges side of things as I now see things quite differently inside the ring rather than just outside. I am lucky enough to have both vantage points of reference.

AKC has a code of sportsmanship that is given to all judges with the expectation that they know and understand it. As representatives of

AKC to the public we are to understand the code and hold exhibitors to be as needed. If you are unaware of the code, you may know all about sportsmanship, not care about sportsmanship, or maybe you have seen it, but from where ever you come I am sure you can find it on AKC's web site and it is listed in the Rules Applying to Dog

Shows as well.

Some of the points that strike me most in the code are:

"Sportsmen commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy, and vigorous competition as well as winning and losing with grace." The first time an exhibitor grabs the ribbon or trophy you are presenting from you & you realize quite quickly they are not practicing sportsmanship. Winning & loosing with grace requires under-standing that not every person sees things the same way, breed characteristics are subjective. There are different levels of under-standing that judges have of the breeds as well. What you see inside the ring is far different from what you see on the outside.

Putting on that smile to everyone and just having a good time. How many of you can't wait for your next show..........remember that and just enjoy yourself. Winning is not guaranteed at any show.

"Sportsmen find that vigorous competition and civility are not in-consistent and are able to appreciate the merit of their competition and the effort of competitors." Nothing is more fun than to see a novice or someone new to the breed succeed, when even they did not expect it.

Being there for your fellow competitor or club, what has happened to that? Exhibitors do not go to show with a guarantee of a win, having to work for it and thus it is that much more special when a win occurs. Blame on the judge or the other exhibitors just doesn't cut it anymore.

"Sportsmen are willing to share honest and open appraisals of both the strengths and weaknesses of their breeding stock." Often those who do not want to hear it are those who do not want to compete and are quick to say "she knows the judge" or "he never does anything for me", not realizing their breeding stock is less than the best and can always be improved upon. We learn from our competition and we grow from it.

Exhibitors want to improve and that is what drives better breeding stock and competition.

Ask questions, be willing to take hones answers, be selective of who you ask, and above all remember no dog is perfect, they all have faults and each judge has a different level of tolerance.

"Sportsmen refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the sport of purebred dogs by injecting personal advantage or consideration into their decisions or behaviors."

Taking your personal stake out of the competition for a judge is required. Being able to see only the dog and not who on the end of the lead. Being able to see the virtues of dogs that are not as well handled is required as your short time allows. Going out of your way to gather all the information you can about the exhibit.

Sometimes moving multiple times, or reexamining. For those breeds that need a measure of doing that even when it puts you behind and or upsets exhibitors.

"Sportsman refuse to embarrass the sport or themselves while taking part in the sport.”All too often as of late I see disgruntled exhibitors, unfriendly, and those expecting the win with a less than worthy exhibit. It is embarrassing to see sportsmen act like that, putting themselves in that spot. Upholding the breed standards are first and foremost and there are many judges out there who attempt to do that. Some breeds get the

reputation of being "poor sports" over-all. We never want to be in that catagory. I know of one long time handler & ES breeder that handles every situation with grace and would never think of disappointing the breed with inappropriate actions.

I guess as an exhibitor I always want to show and to whomever and when-ever, so I do not understand most of why people do what they do at dog shows. As a judge I want exhibits that want to be there, want to compete, want to work for their win and want to be a sportsman about it.

The English Setter exhibitor have a huge advantage over many breeds in that most are owner handled. That leads itself to comrodery, sportsmanship and friendly competition. Help each other learn and grow and improve the breed. Some clubs support sportsmanship and some do not. Understanding sportsmanship is something you can participate in from day one while winning may take much longer. Enjoy the ride and learn what you can.

AKC #76729

Pointing Breed Advanced Hunt Title

Application:

The Title

Upon verification the title is placed on the dog’s record and will appear on a dog’s pedigree. The Advanced title is designated by the addition of the letter A at the end of existing titles. (Junior Hunter Advanced

[JHA], Senior Hunter Advanced [SHA] and Master Hunter Advanced [MHA]). No title certificate will be issued unless ordered through the use of the application form for a fee of $20. Ordering a title certificate is at the discretion of the owner.

The Advanced title will supersede the initial title earned in the test level. For example, JHA will supersede JH on a dog’s pedigree. A title earned in a more advanced level will supersede the advanced title in a lower level. For example, SH will supersede JHA.

The Advanced title program becomes effective February 1, 2012.

Any advanced title qualifying performance after that date achieved by a dog that has already earned the initial title in a given testing level can be counted toward an advanced title.

Additional Hunt Tests

There are some areas where Pointing Breed

Hunting Tests are routinely full. In response to this and the possibility that the

Advanced title program will create additional demand, clubs will be allowed to hold up to six hunting tests per calendar year at their option.

Feedback

The approach to the Advanced titling program is unique in a number of ways.

Comments or suggestions should be emailed to the Performance Events

Department at huntingtest@akc.org

.

A Happy Ending for this Rescue and a

Calendar Star!

Seven years ago we brought home Arrow, a purebred Llewellyn Setter. When we first met

Arrow he was currently at a rescue out of Mt.

Gilead, OH. The owner of the rescue had brought him up to Michigan to an agility trial he was attending with his wife. Of course we couldn't help asking about him. He was a very good looking boy.

We learned that Arrow had a very rough start in life. He was tied to a doghouse and that is where is spent his first year and a half. He had no training, he was never socialized and his coat was stained yellow from the mud he sat in everyday. Wild animal did not begin to describe him. He needed a lot of work to become domesticated.

Arrow came to the rescue because his owner, the

county dog warden, took him to his own shelter and told them that he didn't want him anymore and to put him down. Unbelievable! Thankfully the shelter workers knew that he was a great dog and refused, they also asked for his papers since they knew he came with them. They then called the rescue and asked if they would take him since he would need a lot of training before he could even be considered for adoption.

While we were at the trial, we got the rescue information in case someone was looking for a dog. A few months passed and we couldn't stop thinking about Arrow. When my brother mentioned getting a dog, Arrow was the first one we thought of. Although my brother wasn't

100% sure on him, we were, we had decided that if he didn't want him we would bring him home to live with us. Which is exactly what we did.

Although Arrow was excelling in his rescue home, he was not so at our home. Even though he fit in instantly with the other dogs, his dominance was a problem and he had taken to

"marking" the house daily. He also couldn't hold it all day because he never had to. It was basically like training a puppy, he needed to be taken back to the basics once again and retrained all over. There were many days I had considered returning him fearing that he wasn't going to be able to adapt.

Well, we all stuck it out and it's been a fast seven years and Arrow has become a solid member of our home. He is one of the best behaved and one of our best hunting dogs. He was a natural! He's also super affectionate and a total sweetheart, even when Action is annoying the daylights out of him.

I have had several photos taken of my dogs over the years and last month I was handed an English

Setter Browntrout Calendar. At first I was looking for Chase or Action and thought I was given it by mistake but then I saw it. There was

Arrow, gracing the month of August! I was such a proud mom.

It's unfortunate that there are so many owners out there like the one Arrow had and are too ignorant to see the true potential of the dog they have. But we saw it, embraced it and turned him into the dog we knew he was meant to be! He had found his forever home with us.

Arrow is a true success story and it's so great that we can brag about him making it in the calendar, it is truly an honor to this dog that started his life the way he did.

Jill Boback

What is a Title, Really?

Not just a brag, not just a stepping stone to a higher title, not just an adjunct to competitive scores.

A Title is a tribute to the dog that bears it, a way to honor that dog, an ultimate memorial.

It will remain in the record and in the memory for about as long as anything in this world can remain. Few humans will do as well or better in that regard. And though the dog himself doesn't know or care that this achievements have been noted, a Title says many things in the world of humans, where such things count.

A Title says your dog was intelligent, and adaptable, and good-natured. It says that your dog loved you enough to do the things that please you, however crazy they may have sometimes seemed.

And a Title says that you loved your dog, that

you loved to spend time with him because he was a good dog, and that you believed in him enough to give him yet another chance when he failed (or you did), and that in the end your faith was justified.

A Title proves that your dog inspired you to have the special relationship enjoyed by so few; that in a world of disposable creatures, this dog with a Title was greatly loved, and loved greatly in return.

And when that dear short life is over, the Title remains as a memorial of the finest kind, the best you can give to a deserving friend, volumes of praise in one small set of initials before or after the name.

A Title is nothing less than love and respect, given and received permanently.

From M.A. Samuelson: One interesting thing is that eight of these dogs are related to each other, four of them through the first dual champion, four of them having the same sire, three of them having the same dam. The other three are related to each other also, so two lines have produced the eleven dual champions. Ref: 1,3,4,5,6,7 and

11 are related and 2,8 and 10 are related.

OK, one brag for Brynn and Piper.....This is going to be a long one...if you have room for a novella...

DeCoverly's Blue Rock (Brynn) completed her AKC

Senior Hunter title this fall with back-to-back passes at the National Specialty hunt tests on Oct. 22 and 23 in Eagle, WI. On Saturday, her brace might go down in the annals of time as the "the longest 30 min. test in AKC history"....47 minutes by my watch. Let me set the stage...last brace of SH...last brace of the day, 4:00 PM, and running with a "Bye dog", Brynn had a nice back/honor on her brace mate, so now time for her bird work. She eased into a solid point on a visible, walking quail (usually the "kiss of death"), and held steady through the flush, broke at the shot and ran to the downed bird. In her usual fashion, she picked it up, dropped it, picked it up again, dropped it and returned to me...

sans quail ! I gently told her "Dead bird...Fetch" (while my mind is screaming "OH NOOOOO, not this"!). I am fully aware that no "training" is allowed during a hunt test...so we were at a bit of a "Mexican Stand-

Off"....which lasted for what seemed like an eternity

(clock still running). My "mental telepathy" signals must have been working as she grudgingly turned, returned to the bird, and retrieved it to hand.

After watching this drama unfold from horseback, one of the judges rode up to me and said "While I commend your gumption to "stay with it", that is not a passing retrieve. Would she do better with another bird?" Summoning up my most confident "protrainer" voice, I said "yes" and we were off to find another bird. Brynn found and pointed another bird and we waited for the gunners to arrive. She held to flush, broke at the (multiple) shots and the (likely unwounded) quail flew about 75 yards and fluttered down. Hoping that the gunners might have at least hit it will a pellet or two, I sent Brynn off on what would have been the longest hunt test retrieve in her life. She slams another point on the quail (not a good sign) and I release her with "Dead bird, Fetch!" and she goes for the bird, which jumps up and flies away.

(clock still running).

Hoping to end this brace, the judge asks to have a bird planted, so I call Brynn in, water her, and give her a quiet pep talk during the planting process. I carefully handle her, bringing her in down-wind of the planted bird....and she blows right by it! (more OH

NOOOO!). Fortunately, she finds and points another bird near the far corner of the bird field (clock still running). I flush, Brynn holds and the gunners commence shooting. On their fourth (and last) shot, they shoot the quail and it goes down approx 50 yds. away. Now the moment of truth..."Dead bird...Fetch!" Brynn picks it up and runs back to me and delivers "to hand"...with a smile on her face

(perhaps she had an epiphany...."This is what I'm supposed to do!")....or she just wanted this travesty to end....(I'd like to think it was the former!). No comment from the judges, but spontaneous applause erupted from the gallery (likely grateful that they could now go home) as we walked out of the bird field and awaited the results. After what seemed like another eternity, the results are posted: SHE

PASSED! (and she knew it!).

No such drama on Sunday (thank goodness)....Brynn ran / hunted / handled like a "true professional" and methodically completed all of the

SH requirements (including a "very snappy" retrieve..MH level?)...with time to spare...I might add!

Stylecast Pied Piper (Piper) also achieved an SH pass on Saturday, but came down with a case of

"happy feet" on Sunday and broke before the shot.

More training to do...., but a great weekend none-theless!

Regards,

Bruce C. Arnold
