| 4 | AMERICAN SPANIEL CLUB, INC. BULLETIN | DECEMBER 2023 President’s Message I’m not the kind of person who makes New Year’s resolutions, but this year I’m suggesting a few. It’s ever so easy to find fault with an organization, or competitive event, or other situations, but looking for the solutions to issues is often more difficult. I’m resolved to be a problem solver. One of the ways that can be achieved is to find ways to build on what is good about that organization or event. Regarding the ASC, we are fortunate to have an excellent core of volunteers, and I am grateful to have been associated with them all. Volunteers bring to the table a wide range of talents, insights, and abilities and through them we find the means to grow as an organization. I am grateful for the hard work of the members of the ASC Board of Directors who give multiple hours of their personal time to ensure the financial stability of the club and who consider multiple ideas for improving the club experience for all our members. Committee chairs are among those who work tirelessly to advance the causes that promote our breed in a variety of ways. The most visible may be the show chairs who organize and manage the complicated issues connected with the ASC’s two major conformation shows (the Cocker Spaniel National and the Flushing Spaniel Show), and our agility trials. They and their committees deserve our gratitude for meeting the challenges presented to them each year. The Flushing Spaniel Show is right about the corner, and new show chair Julie Virosteck and her committee have done an admirable job coordinating with the other breed clubs to make the 2024 show a memorable one. A reminder—if you cannot be there in person, you can purchase a show ‘ticket’ from Show Dog Video Pros to watch the competition on your computer at home. The 2024 National will be a Rocky Mountain High experience! Show chair Stephanie Kaul and her committee will be ready to welcome you all to Colorado Springs in July 2024 for our National Specialty and all the associated events. Dog sports in general are of interest to many, but the number of breeders and breed fanciers who are dedicated to preserving the best qualities of the breed are declining. I hope many of you will join me in resolving to find more ways to attract newcomers to our breed and our dog sports. I am a believer in mentoring. It is so valuable to find someone who is willing to share knowledge about a breed. Our breeder education forums at the National are well-attended, and our outreach to members of the public at Meet the Breed events are also well-received. If you can attend, consider bringing a newcomer along to learn about the breed. The health of Cocker Spaniels is a concern for all of us. Whatever genetic issues are facing the breed now or in the future, I’d like to see all of us resolve to support efforts to find scientifically based solutions to tracking those issues. The ASC-Foundation reviews research to help keep us all current on the latest potential solutions. Finally—I’d like to thank all ASC members for being part of the club and participating in any way possible. May 2024 be a good year for you, your dogs, and all those you care about. And above all—be merry! By DIANE KEPLEY, ASC President IT’S HARD TO BELIEVE—BUT ANOTHER YEAR IS COMING TO A CLOSE.

| 20 | AMERICAN SPANIEL CLUB, INC. BULLETIN | DECEMBER 2023 With scent work coming to next year’s ASC National Specialty, I felt it would be a good time to review some of the rules, so that you can keep them in mind while training. With the number of scent work organizations offering competitions and titles, it can be very easy to get the rules wrong, as there is no single set of rules to cover them all. So a quick review will help you plan your training sessions between now and July 2024. The Regulations for AKC Scent Work are available on the AKC website (www.akc.org) as either a PDF download (free) or a printed booklet (nominal charge). First of all, the odors that the AKC uses in their competitions are Birch (Betula lenta), Anise (Pimpinella anisum), Clove (Eugenia caryophyllata) and Cypress (Cupressus sempevirens). The Novice class uses Birch, the Advanced class uses Birch and/or Anise, and the Excellent class uses Birch and/or Anise and/or Clove. Cypress is used in the Master classes, but the ASC trial will only be offering Novice, Advanced and Excellent components. The AKC requires judges to prepare their swabs using two drops of essential oil on the head of a cotton swab. In comparison to the cooking method of preparing swabs used by NACSW and some other organizations, this is quite a bit of odor. If your dog hasn’t practiced or competed on cotton swabs with direct drops of oil, I highly recommend you get them accustomed to it before traveling to Colorado. Talk to your instructor or training buddies to figure out a way to get the dogs introduced to the difference in amount of odor. Something that can catch competitors unaware is the rule regarding permissible collars, leashes and harnesses. Organizations can differ slightly in this regard, so it’s important to know what the AKC’s position is on these items. The AKC policy is pretty straightforward with regards to equipment. Dogs must wear a properly fitted collar or harness approved by the judge. No special training tools, such as electronic collars or no-pull harnesses, may be used during the search. Martingale collars are permitted. Handlers may attach a wearable camera (such as a Go Pro) to the dog’s harness. Dogs must enter and exit the search area with the leash attached to the collar or harness, including when waiting in the search area before and after their search. Any length of leash, including retractable leashes, are acceptable. Dogs may also wear accessories such as boots, jackets and/or sweaters and hair ties or bows. Something I found interesting was the requirement of a “Finish” call for any searches with multiple hides. That is different than the organizations that I trial with (CKC, UKC and SDDA), and is something that I would need to work on with my guys. I admit that I typically only call “Finish” when doing a search with unknown number of hides. I’ll be in Novice in July 2024, so no “Finish” call required at that level, but it’s good to know for the future, and something easy to add to practice sessions. Scent detection Know The Rules By KELLY LADOUCEUR, July 2024 ASC Scent Work Chair, KLAD Cockers » [email protected] SNIFF N GO AND MORE COMING SOON TO A BELOVED EVENT.
AMERICAN SPANIEL CLUB, INC. BULLETIN | DECEMBER 2023 | 21 | So what does AKC Scent Work actually look like? Well, there are four regular levels of competition— Novice, Advanced, Excellent and Master, as well as a special level called Detective that teams cannot enter until they have at least one Master component title. Each level is comprised of four components—Container, Interior, Exterior and Buried. There is also a second stream called Handler Discrimination, where the dog searches for items scented by the handler, rather than searching for essential oils. In order to earn a component title, the team must pass that component three times, under any number of judges. So a dog would earn a Scent Work Container Novice (SCN) title by qualifying in three Novice Container searches, and the same holds true for the other components as well. A dog earns a level title by completing all four component titles at that level. In order to earn a Scent Work Novice title, a dog must earn an SCN, SIN (Interior), SEN (Exterior) and SBN (Buried). At the ASC trial, we are offering Novice, Advanced and Excellent levels, with all four components being offered. Those are the basic rules that you need to know before entering the trial. All of the particulars are available in the AKC Regulations for Scent Work, as mentioned previously. For those that aren’t competing in scent work, AKC Scent Work is spectator-friendly whenever possible, so you are welcome to come and watch some searches, just don’t bring your dogs along. Photos and videos are encouraged, especially if you’re watching friends compete, but they may not be shared with any other competitors running the same level and component until after that class is finished. I would be foolish not to take this opportunity to ask all of you to consider volunteering for the inaugural ASC Scent Work trial. We will need a number of volunteers to help the trial run smoothly, especially timers, sheet runners and gate stewards. Volunteering gives you a great change to experience scent work up close and personal, and every person that has ever volunteered at a nosework trial where I was either competing or officiating has commented on how beneficial it was to their own nosework journey and about how much they learned from watching other teams. We can split the jobs into bite-sized shifts so that people aren’t spending their entire day at the National without seeing everything it has to offer. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact me at [email protected] so I can maintain a list of people to call on as we approach the trial. The other thing that I’d like to ask of you is to consider sponsoring our prizes/rosettes. Our big prizes this year will be beautiful boxed rosettes, in keeping with what is being offered across all of the venues at the National. We will also have rosettes for class placements and for new titles. If you are interested in sponsoring a > SCENT DETECTION class in honour of or in memory of a special dog, please contact me at the email address above and I will coordinate that with you. Last but not least, we will be offering a Sniff ‘n’ Go on that Thursday, giving folks an opportunity to get warmed up and ready for the trial. Entry forms for the event will be available in early 2024. I will be placing the hides, and I will be looking for volunteers to help keep things moving for that event as well. I hope all of you are as excited about the inaugural ASC Scent Work trial, and I hope to see many of my sniffy friends there. Kelly Ladouceur has been breeding and competing under the KLAD prefix for almost 20 years. She is involved in conformation, obedience, rally obedience, scent hurdle, nosework, and therapy work.

AMERICAN SPANIEL CLUB, INC. BULLETIN | DECEMBER 2023 | 25 | O NTHEBALLOT? GET TO KNOW THE NOMINEES FOR JULY 2025 COCKER SPANIEL JUDGES. Who is REGULAR CLASSES Greg Anderson I started showing Cockers in Junior Showmanship when I was 12. I grew up in California and was exposed to dedicated breeders and great dogs, all of which influenced my life decision to become a handler. To further my education in dogs, learn about other breeds, and improve grooming techniques, I worked for Peter Green, and Clay and Bergit Coady. From 1979 to 1995, I maintained a business as a professional handler. Recognized by breeders across the United States for professionalism; quality Cockers (all varieties) groomed to perfection and shown with style. I specialized in handling Cocker Spaniels and was lucky to present beautiful dogs for great breeders like Laura Henson, Marilyn Spacht, and Beth Beal. These dogs allowed me to accompany them to the winners’ circle at the ASC National Specialty as well as to multiple Bests in Specialty Show, group wins and Bests in Show. In addition to Cocker Spaniels, I successfully showed English Cockers, Vizslas, Salukis and West Highland White Terriers. Once I retired from handling, I applied to judge, licensed initially in 1995 for 9 spaniel breeds and junior showmanship. Now, years later, I’m approved to judge all Sporting breeds, the Sporting Group and Best in Show. As part of this journey I’ve had the good fortune to judge in Japan, New Zealand, england, the Philippines, Sweden, Norway and Canada but the assignment that meant the most to me was returning to the ASC National Specialty as a judge. I would be honored to judge cocker spaniels at an ASC show again. Thank you for the nomination. Rick Bowling First and foremost, I would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to the membership for the nomination to judge at the ASC National Specialty for 2025. It would be the highest honor to be afforded the opportunity to judge our breed at this level again. I have been involved in the sport of dogs for most of my life. The Irish Setter was my first love and throughout my childhood and teen years I spent most of my free time training and working with my dogs in obedience. After I graduated from college, I moved to Florida to pursue a career and to complete my post graduate work. I was “dogless” for almost two years and life just didn’t seem right. I wanted a smaller dog than an Irish as space and the heat in Florida was not conducive to having a large breed. Of course, I wanted a sporting dog and the Cocker Spaniel seemed to be the perfect choice. I as many dog people, started out with a pet quality black bitch, aka Kaila, and from there the journey began. I was “bit” by the dog show bug and it’s now been over 30 years since I began my fascination and love of our beautiful breed. In limited breeding, I’ve shown and finished many of my own dogs under the RIBO prefix and also have had the pleasure of finishing many more for others. In 2005, I retired from active showing to begin a new journey; that of judging. I have thoroughly enjoyed this aspect of our sport and take very seriously my decisions when evaluating the future breeding stock of our breed. I have been an ASC member since the early 90’s and have served as assistant show chairman for the ASC nationals held in Orlando FL. I have held numerous positions including, President, Show Secretary and Show Chairman for the Suncoast Cocker Spaniel Club. Professionally, I’m a regional controller for a world-wide electronics manufacturing services company. When I’m not working or participating in dog related activities, I also enjoy training and working with our horses and continued >
| 26 | AMERICAN SPANIEL CLUB, INC. BULLETIN | DECEMBER 2023 maintain a small herd of purebred registered Nubian dairy show goats. I am humbled by the nomination to be on the ballot. As a breeder/owner/handler it is the true honor to judge our wonderful breed and look forward with anticipation to the opportunity. Thank you for your consideration. Olga K. Evelyn I have been a member of ASC since 1992; serving as Trophy, Futurity, Advertising, Agility and Performance chair over the years. My breeding program started in 1987 and ended in 2015 with the loss of Ch. Amunique’s Rhythm Nation, known to many as Janet. Over those years, my Black and Ascob champions numbered 27 in limited breeding under the registered kennel name, AMUNIQUE. My Cockers have garnered for Best in Specialty Show, Westminster Kennel Club, Eukanuba Invitational Top 25, and ASC class winners. Of the many wins, the most meaningful have been placements in ASC Futurity and Regular classes and finishing my Cockers from the bred by class. Working closely with my mentor, the late Barbara Steuert (Kimbar), I developed a sound, healthy breeding program, while keeping in mind her words, “Breed quality not quantity.” My dogs were not perfect, but they represented what I wanted in the ring and my interpretationof the standard. Since the end of my breeding program, and this year, being named a Lifetime Member of ASC, I am a firm believer that the Torch of Guardianship of the breed is now in the hands of my generation. It is my duty to share what I have learned for the Betterment of the Breed. Coupled with that passion has been The Cocker College on Facebook. I believe the Cocker College is helping me to serve that sharing purpose and continually being an eternal Student Of The Breed. Along with the Cocker College, I am dedicated to the Cocker Spaniel DNA Cataract Research project. As a breeder/owner/handler/judge I have the same expectations from this sport as in my former competitive arenas. The most important expectation is to have fun. I love judging, and I try to make it fun for the exhibitors while enjoying the challenge of finding that beautiful specimen. Thank you so much for your nomination. Douglas Johnson Douglas Johnson of Bloomington, In., has had a life- time of dedication to the sport of purebred dogs. Breeding under the world-famous Clussexx prefix, he has produced more than 250 AKC Champion Clumber Spaniels, Sussex Spaniels, Welsh Springer Spaniels, English Toy Spaniels and Nederlandse Kooikerhondje. He has a passion for breeding dogs and continues to run a top breeding program today. He has judged nearly all of the flushing spaniel breeds for ASC and knows the value of winning there. He has handled a dog to Best in Show at ASC and bred a dog to win Best in Show at ASC and considers this show to be one of the most historically significant for any spaniel breeder. He respects the time-honored traditions of the show and the history of the breeds. As most of you already know, Mr. Johnson takes his time in the ring very seriously, he is committed to doing his best and will always adjudicate fairly and to his own beliefs. Not shy of opinions, Mr. Johnson has a true vision of these breeds and stays consistent in his desire to reward top quality. Mr. Johnson’s breeder focused judging has made him a popular judge for all breed and specialty shows. Thank you to the membership for their consideration. Barbara Shaw Thank you for considering me as a candidate to judge the July 2025 National Specialty! This is such an honor! As for my history: My husband and I began our odyssey in pure-bred dogs in 1977 with our first Cocker Spaniel, Spanky, followed by Darla. Two endearing pet cockers we found in a newspaper and on the wall at the vet’s office. A trip to a boarding kennel introduced us to Marion Hunt of Pat-Mar Cockers. She had a litter of black puppies only 3-4 weeks of age. I looked into that box and noticed how different they were from Spanky and Darla. Without hesitating, I asked Marion, “How did you do that?” With that simple question, Our Gang cockers and kennel became a reality. We have titled Cockers in all 3 varieties, enjoy looking ahead two or three generations with breeding considerations, and loving the fun we have with all of it! I became a judge; and, with that privilege, traveled around this country and the world interacting with people who share the same passion we all have for our dogs. 3 years ago we bred to our black dog, Ch. Our Gang’s Harlem On My Mind, Winner’s Dog 1989! Armand, the son and black male as well, shares our home with a small menagerie. We brought home, Sammie (an Our Gang boy) and his friend, Allie, a buff rescue from a dear college friend who passed. Jack, the wonder Sussex, and Peg, a bulldog who has the best stink eye ever as well as Topper and Mae, our 2 Dobes that are as silly as the others. We can talk about the chickens and donkeys later. Menagerie! I am passionate about our wonderful Cockers, having seen them in most arenas of activities. They are great at everything we ask of them. I am passionate about our > WHO IS ON THE BALLOT? continued >

Lastly, it never occurred to me in the beginning that our passion for Cocker Spaniels would send us on this life-long journey. I am profoundly grateful for all that passion has given to us—friends both here and around the world. Everyone everywhere loves sharing stories about their dogs! I am glad to be a part. Thank you so much for the opportunity! FUTURITY Sharon Gerling My interest in cocker spaniels started after I attended a Richland Kennel Club show when I was just seven years old. That day someone handed me a black Cocker to show in Junior Showmanship, and I went Best Junior Handler. From then on, I have been enchanted with the breed and worked to illustrate the breed standard in the conformation ring with our My-Ida-Ho cockers. Each year My-Ida-Ho parti-colors are ranked in the national standings and have won many Top Five awards from the American Spaniel Club. There have been several multiple Best In Show dogs at My-Ida-Ho and numerous Group and Best Of Breed winners, many Top Producing Sires with eleven or more champion offspring, the most famous multiple BISS Ch. My-Ida-Ho Look N’ Good with over sixty five. There are over 20 Top Producing Dams with four or more champion offspring. To date there are over two hundred My-Ida-Ho champions. In 2008, I had the honor of judging the American Spaniel Club Futurity and my choice for Black Futurity winner and ASCOB variety winner were littermates that went on to win black WB, BW and ASCOB WB, BW and BOV in their regular classes. I am a Life Member of the Washington State Cocker Spaniel Club and the American Spaniel Club. I am honored to be nominated to judge the July 2025 ASC National Specialty Futurity. Thank you for your consideration. Kim Vavolo Let me start by thanking my peers for voting me onto the ballot to judge the 2025 Futurity at our National Specialty. It’s an honor to be considered. I have been in Cocker Spaniels since 1993 when I walked into P’Gell’s Kennel looking for a job. Up to that point, I had been a thoroughbred trainer. I always wanted to show dogs but had no idea how to get started. I was mentored by some of the best in the breed. Besides Tom and Betty Campbell, I was mentored by Annette Davies, Harriet Kamps, and Tom and Rae Mason (Tomara Cockers) gave me my foundation bitch. After a few litters under my kennel name of Longshot, I started co-breeding with Debbie Gunkle as VC Cockers. I have also co-bred with Carolyn Kelley. In those 30 years, I have bred allbreed Best in Show, National Specialty Best of Variety and two-time Westminster Best of Variety winners, breeder-owner-handled. I have bred 50+ champions as well as many performance titled dogs. Thank you again for this honor. > WHO IS ON THE BALLOT?

| 32 | AMERICAN SPANIEL CLUB, INC. BULLETIN | DECEMBER 2023 You have already made the decision that your bitch is of breeding quality, with an ideal temperament and is free of health concerns known to the breed. So, in order to properly select the best stud for her, the first thing you should do is take stock of the information you have gathered over the years about your bitch. Carefully analyze her strengths and weaknesses. Evaluate her conformation as objectively as possible. Does she have a weak top line but a nice front? How is her rear angulation? What about her coat texture? If you do not know what is wrong with your bitch, you will not know what you need to fix for future generations. After all, that is really what you are trying to do— improve the breed by improving on your bitch. Breeders should always be striving to make the next generation better than the previous one. You will want to focus on one, maybe two, genetic traits that you would like to see improved in future generations and look for a stud dog that is strong in those areas. It is a delicate balancing act with no guarantee of success. Next, you must research her pedigree—not just her sire and dam, but every dog that appears in at least the first three generations. The study of a pedigree in and of itself yields nothing, unless you study the individuals that make up that pedigree. Look for trends of head type, expression and eyes, balance and body and construction. This review will reveal where the strong trait in your bitch come from. Do you notice a dog that is in the pedigree that is consistently producing the same traits? Use the pedigree to discover why and where you bitch’s attributes come from both positive and the negative. You will want to capitalize on these positive links and try to avoid those less desirable characteristics (that you are planning to breed away from). An educated review of pedigrees often becomes a study of faults so be cautious. Remember, it should also be a study of virtues. Breeding dogs is a blend of art and science so you often have to compromise to get what you want. Start now focusing on the positive and look for ways to minimize the negatives in the pedigree. Your goal should be to line breed on a dog that will give you more of what you like in the bitch you are trying to breed. The answer to stud dog selection is within the pedigree almost every time. Staying within a family of dogs will allow you to set a type and move your line forward. This is also the perfect time to reach out to someone who has been in the breed longer than you to get some expert advice. If at all possible, you should consult with your bitch’s breeder and ask them to spend some time with you going over various options so that you understand why one dog would be better for your bitch than another. They will know what their blood line can produce. In Cockers, you should reach out to a professional handler as these individuals helped develop this breed from the start. They have worked with all of the bloodlines and touched so many different dogs. Many of them have run breeding programs for larger kennels. They are a wonderful resource for you in the decision making process. For your own knowledge, one of the best ways to gather information on dogs and bloodlines is by putting your hands on the dogs themselves. For most of us, this is best accomplished at specialties like American Spaniel Club. It is at specialties that pedigrees come to life! Don’t be afraid to ask handlers or owners to see a dog you are interested in. People will be happy to have you go over them. You need to feel the dog you want to use especially in a heavily coated breed like American Cockers. For me, my best bet is always to line breed on the dog in her pedigree that I like the most—whether it be a dog or a bitch. Yes, you’ll double up on the faults produced in that line, but you will also double up on the virtues - and that’s the name of the game. We have all heard the CHOOSING A STUD DOG By DOUG JOHNSON, Clussexx Spaniels Reprinted from the December 2012 ASC Bulletin CHOOSING A STUD DOG FOR YOUR BITCH IS AS IMPORTANT A DECISION AS CHOOSING YOUR BITCH WAS ORIGINALLY.
AMERICAN SPANIEL CLUB, INC. BULLETIN | DECEMBER 2023 | 33 | expression, “You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.” The best success I have had has come from tight line breedings. Every breed is different and they all bring different challenges. It is one of your missions to know how far you can push the inbreeding coefficient. Sussex breeders are not afraid of father/daughter breedings to set type and have been successfully doing so for many years and generations. They stick VERY close to a pedigree. In Clumbers, we have never gotten that close, but we do grandfather/granddaughter breedings often. This is a common rule of thumb in breeding. Staying within a line and breeding to dogs with similar parentage is a good idea. It works to set a type, solidify a gene pool and retain quality. If we go out to a different family of dogs to open up our gene pool you can send the genetics into a free fall. You are going to lose consistency in the offspring but you should be able to use those dogs with the traits you like in your next generation. It is hard to predict what you will get in the offspring from these outcrosses, but they are necessary to keep your kennel moving forward. The progeny of that outcross breeding allows you to once again breed back to familiar parentage. Thus, opening up the pedigree just enough to continue comfortably line breeding. If and when I go out to “new” blood, I look for a strong family. An established kennel that has been producing quality for many generation over many different kennels. Meaning their dogs mix well with others. This is a clue that tells me that I have a chance of top quality puppies if I use a dog from their kennel even if the type or look will be slightly different in the puppies. You then work to blend in those quality puppies to your breeding program in future generations. This outcross allows you to come back in again too. So, in the end it can be a winwin situation. Here are some basic tips: 1. Know your bitch’s positive and negative traits and prioritize which are most important to this breeding. Your chances of finding a stud that complements all of your bitch’s weak areas is low, but it makes sense to focus on dogs that don’t share her faults. Your best bet search for a dog that will correct your bitch’s faults when bred to other bitches with similar faults. 2. Learn as much as you can about the genetics of the traits you are trying to eliminate. If your bitch is weak in topline and comes from a long line of dogs with poor toplines, you must find dogs with strong toplines to compensate for where she is weak. This is simple in theory but after several generations of the same fault you might be fighting an uphill battle. It can take several generations to reverse a trait. 3. Open your mind . . . take the blinders off! Big winners are just that...big winners, not always great sires. So, while they may be the best in the ring today, they might not come from a pedigree that is useful or they might not produce the traits you need for your bitch. You want to use the BEST dog you can, not the one that has done the most winning. Finally, picking a stud dog is really about evaluating your needs in your own bitch. Know what traits he brings to the table that complement your bitch and move your line in a positive direction. Go into the breeding knowing that the results of this mating may take a generation or two before you see the desired results. If you choose wisely, you will eventually see the results winning in the show ring. The ideal stud in many cases is a dog that brings few faults to a pairing and lots of strengths. This dog gives strength to a pedigree and is a well-known producer of quality animals. He is generally a stallion of the breed with some exaggerations of type. He will cover your bitch’s faults and enhance her virtues. The best stud dog you can find will fill your eye with the picture of the breed. He will be a dog who has balance and substance and an air of quality. He will be a dog that is strong with traits that define the breed. He will be a dog you would be proud to own and one that wish you had bred yourself. > CHOOSING A STUD DOG riannon SAM & WILMA PARKER 8173 Red Mill Dr. West Chester, OH 45069-1718 Phone 513-759-0329 Elena Sicurello 610.333.2231 [email protected] www.Tsunamicockers.com
