Dear Friends, Another great Poodle Club of America is behind us. Its always great to see so many old friends and to make new friends every year at our show. Poodle lovers everywhere are grateful to all of the volunteers who gave so much time to making our National Specialty the best and there is a multitude of you. But I must give special thanks to our hostess with the mostest, Barbara Furbush, Ms. Salisbury herself, (who probably won a Miss Salisbury contest way back when even if Im unaware of it). Barbara worked many hours behind the scenes, before, during and after, not only with PCA, but also with the town of Salisbury and the civic center, and many times turning to Salisbury Kennel Club members to help too, to bring everything togeth-er to create a glorious event. It takes a special kind of person to make an ideal show chairman, to be able to work with all the different kinds of people and personali-ties and yet remain open minded to all. It takes someone with great organizational skills and a lot of wisdom to get the job done right. Thank you, Barbara, on behalf of myself, the Board and everyone who attended PCA, for a job well done. Thanks also to Barbaras assistant, Johnny Shoemaker. The town of Salisbury could not more be welcoming to Poodle fanciers during PCA week. They started off by giving us a barbecue gala on Tuesday night, with great food and a band, which everyone who attended really enjoyed. Id like to personally thank the town of Salisbury for this welcome. Representatives from the town came to the show throughout the week to be sure everything was going well and to find out if there was anything they could do for us. They make us feel appreciated. I also want to thank the staff at the Wicomico Civic Center. They go way out of their way for us. Stacy, Marvin, the security people and the rest of the centers staff always want to help make things better for us while were there. Once again this year we had winners from around the world, making us a great in-ternational show. But in the end it was our own American-bred Poodle that took the whole thing. Congratulations to Simons breeder/owner Betty Brown, co-breeder Jacquelyn Cohen, co-owner Paula Morgan and his Swedish handler, Lotta Sandell. Our AKC Good Sportsman award this year went to Leslie Newing. Leslie is our newsletter without her there may not be one! and it was a well-deserved award for the many years she has devoted to Poodle Club of America and to the fancy.

Thank You!Thank you to Grant and Peggy Myers. Since Kay Tripp did not feel like coming to PCA 2013, I was there trying to fill her shoes. Grant and Peggy were there when I needed them throughout the week. I cannot thank them enough.
With Kay only a phone call or text away, I want to thank her for her faith in me to handle her job. I have told her that I will help her next year, with her sitting beside me. Dennis, Barb, Toni, Staci, with the Civic Center and many others were so helpful and supportive and patient with me. Thank you, Thank you.

Obedience/Rally at the PCA National Specialty
Tuesday was a fine day in Salisbury, MD! A total of 157 Poodle entries competed in Obedience and Rally, showing off their training and intelligence - and sometimes their Poodliness! Thanks to our judges who were able to keep classes moving briskly while welcoming each exhibitor and to our volunteer stewards who provided the support to make the rings run smoothly for all.
Again this year Chief Obedience/Rally Steward Linda Howard gathered the crew of stewards and made sure we had good coverage for each ring and that each steward knew his or her assignment and was supplied with a distinctive t-shirt , name tag and lunch ticket. Seeing to everyones comfort (and hydration!) as well as running an airport taxi service was only a part of Jan Hoppers roll as Hospitality Chair. My heartfelt thanks to you both.
By my count 23 of the 82 Obedience entries were breed Champions this year, including the white Toy Poodle, High in Trial CH OTCH Saratogas Sophia UDX5 OM8 AX AXJ OF bred by her owner Abigail Cooper. They won the Open B class with a score of 199 . High Combined went to the Standard, Tudorose Coal Dust UD GO RE GN and his owner William L. Cox with a score of 385. In Rally, with 18 breed Champion entries out of a total of 75, High Combined was won by Miniature Poodle Hillbrae Songbird Sandstorm CD
RE and her owner, Laura G. Weingardt with a score of 199. This completed the trifecta - all three varieties were represented among the top awards in Obedience and Rally Trial competition very neat!
A last word. No one who isnt involved in helping to put PCA together can begin to realize the huge job the Show Chair undertakes! Beginning even before the close of this years show, planning for next year begins. There are literally thousands of things to think about from major decisions to the most minute of details. My personal salute and thanks to Barbara Furbush for her good humor and generosity throughout youre the best, Barb.
Ann Mandelbaum, Obedience/Rally Chair

Page 9PARADE OF CHAMPIONS AND PERFORMANCE TITLED DOGS
I was so thrilled to see how the entries for both parades had increased this year. The Performance Pa-rade had more entries than ever before and the Parade of Champions entry was close to the the anniversary show. I just hope all participants know how much we all appreciate the work that goes into bringing an extra dog each year so we can have one more look at all these great dogs. For me a lot of the organizational work begins several weeks before PCA, however, at the show I have the unselfish help of my two great friends, Vicki Bal-lantyne and Dr. Elly Holowaychuk, both have been there helping me from the first Parade I have been re-sponsible for and my gratitude to them is endless. Again this year the Performance Parade is se-cretly run by Joyce Miller. who, not so secretly, man-ages everything from signing in to announcing. I will never be able to thank her enough for all she does after what I know is a long day working in Obedience. It has never ceased to amaze me how, on Wed. afternoon during the auction everything comes to life and automatically the ring is cleared and made ready for the parade. Stewarts amass at the ring and everyone is ready to go. (Thank you Brad and Bill) My appreci-ation to Andy Kress for announcing, Christine Nethery for her help inside the ring and Kay Pieser, each year taking the last dog into the ring and expertly leading everyone out to our song FAME. Cant wait until next year.
Jo Ann GeramitaParade of Champions and Performance Parade Chair-manFloral and Ring Design CommitteeChairperson: Bradley Odagiri
Attending my first PCA National Specialty show at Ludwigs Corner, PA many years ago, made a huge impact on me that I have not missed a single national specialty show since then. For several years, I would bring boxes of tropical flowers to create huge floral arrangements. This was my way to express my appreciation to PCA for putting on this awesome showcase of Poodles. Every year, I would also bring and share another part of
our island specialty for the PCA banquets, which is the delicious chocolate macadamia nut clusters.
Last year, when Dennis McCoy first approached me to take the Floral and Ring Design Committee Chair position, I told him I really needed to think about it before accepting the position. This is a lot of work, and I needed to be sure I could manage it and do a spectacular job for PCA. I thought about it and came up with a design idea to help me manage it. I ran it through Dennis and it was a go with one exception. I wanted the theme to be Poodles in Paradise. This would give me the opportunity to bring back my original idea of my initial PCA trips; that is, to share the unique and beautiful tropical flowers of our islands but on grandeur scale. It was a lot of work planning, coordinating and especially, putting it together at the Civic Center.
Without the help of the volunteers, this would not be possible. I would like to extend my deepest appreciation to the hard working volunteers who pitched in to help create the ambience for Poodles in Paradise:
Richard BohannonBill, Dorothea and Karen GraceMichael LambMary LebetSandy MarshallClaude MartinBradford NoyesJim OwensJohnny Shoemaker
Last of all, to our Show Chairman Barbara Furbush and husband Jack who really did a lot of legwork for me to make things happen.
For those that attended and stayed to the very end, you had the opportunity to take home these flowers that would last for weeks. Some of the tropical arrangements were given to special people and offices to show PCA appreciation for hosting and welcoming our club into their community.
Again, thank you to everyone for making Poodles in Paradise a reality and a huge success.

2013 Motor Home Parking Committee Report
The pre-staging and parking of the motor homes went smoothly and quickly this year. Everyone was parked in three hours versus six hours last year! Due to the Wicomico Youth and Civic Centers event schedule, no motor home parking is allowed on their lots until Sunday afternoon just prior to the start of our show. Don and I discussed the parking process with several of the motor home folks last year in an effort to organize and park the motor homes in a more efficient manner and then strived to put procedures in place that would be fair to all. The Wicomico Youth and Civic Center Staff must park the motor homes on their lot to ensure they are complying with the rules and regulations of the state and local governments. Arrangements were made with the civic center to pre-stage the motor homes in the lot adjacent to Civic Avenue. In order to get the motor homes parked more quickly, they agreed to let us complete all of the required parking paper work, a time was established to park the motor homes on the civic center lot, and they agreed to let us direct the parking on Sunday afternoon. Pre-staging and parking information was posted in the outgoing PCA Premium List and motor home pre-staging parking signs were placed along the roads around the civic center that directed the motor homes into the pre-staging parking lot. Motor homes were lined up for parking according to their arrival time; each motor home was given a parking number; all required paper work was completed; and everyone was notified of the time we would be parking on the civic center lot. The fire marshal complained last year that the motor homes were blocking the fire lanes while they were waiting to be parked so in order to comply with the fire marshal rules, we moved ten motor homes at time and kept the lines moving. The only issue that occurred was it still took longer than anticipated for the civic center parking staff to actually park each motor home. This was due to cut back on staff - only one parking attendant was on duty to park and direct each motor home to their parking site on the grounds. We have discussed this issue with the civic center and they have promised they will have two parking attendants on duty for 2014.
We would like to thank the Wicomico Youth and Civic Center Staff for working with us to make this process more efficient. We also wish to thank Nancy Murray and Gail Wolaniuk who assisted us in getting the motor homes moving and parked. A big thanks to all of the motor homes owners for working with us to make this process work!
Sincerely,Donald L. Adams, Jr. and Judy C. CookseyChair, PCA 2013 Motor Home Parking Committee
News from Agility:PCA Agility 2013 is over and was so much fun again. I have already started working on next year. Our High In Trial from the Masters division was toy poodle MACH2 Susans Ult-Radar-ing MXF TQX, Radar to his friends was bred trained and run by Susan Gross. This little guy is 10 and he is still a speed demon.
Debby DaCosta came down from Canada with some talented poodles and captured the High in Trial in the Open Division with Lemurias Kallista Wanna B U CD RN NA NAJ. She also captured the High in Trial in the Novice Division with Palman Mystic Phantom du Opera. Debby is a trainer and handler of great talent. The beauty of our poodles is their amazing ability to play our games with such great skill and panache. This makes agility at PCA so much fun to be a part of.We have a saying, train dont complain. This year for PCA I let too many things get in the way of working with my girlie and helping keep us in the condition that it takes to play this game at the level I expect of us. I have to keep telling myself that this is a game I play with my dog. I have to make sure my ability to be too competitive doesnt rear its not necessarily nice head. I pushed too hard for speed and Dusty knocked a bar in two out of three runs. It is so important in all we do to put in the time to get the results we desire, and have fun while trying.

MAKING US LOOK GOOD!!Catalog Advertising Committee Mary Lebet Cathy Catelain Sandy Marshall
Many thanks are due, once again, to the members of the Poodle community whos beautiful and creative ads in the 2013 Catalog delighted our eyes, informed our minds and made us laugh out loud. We had four winning categories in this years Contest: Grand Champion, , First, Second and Third Places.
Champion winner is Judy Leister and her new Mini, Brinkley, with Ridin a Wave, designed by Cathi Winkles on Page?? . First prize winner is Charlotte Mitchell and Barclay with Agility Paradise Found on Page 356. Second Place goes to Affiliate Club Heart of America P.C. Poodles & Palm Treeson Page 114. Third Place goes to Claudette Boudreaux and her clever Paradise Cross Word Puzzle on Page 275. A round of applause goes to those readers who persisted in solving the puzzle despite the printing error which distorted the puzzle boxes and for those of us of a certain age who remembered that when Zimbabwe was called Rhodesia the capital city was wait for it - SALISBURY!!! Ads were judged on originality, creative use of the Poodles in Paradise motif and artistic merit.
A big thank you to our resident PCA Cartoonist, Roger Brucker for doing it again coming up with those out of the crate Poodle cartoons - they make us laugh and even the Catalog Ads group at Moss Bow looks forward to what Roger will come up with this year. Rogers featured Poodle reminds me of one of my own, and I call her by my gals name but heres a thought perhaps next year we can figure out how to run a contest for the most appropriate name for our own PCA Peanuts
On a more serious note, the support from the Poodle community for Catalog Advertising is gratifying for the Committee, and a tribute to your appreciation of the many elements required to produce what many believe is the best Breed Specialty Show around - and pay the bills!! The Ad Committee page in the catalog concludes every year with a word of appreciation for all of YOU the Breeders, Exhibitors, Hunters, WC/WCX, Agility, Obedience, Rally, Tracking, (and maybe Herding?) who make PCA the Greatest Show On Earth. It is you, and your support, that makes it happen!!!!
Set-Up!I would like to Thank my set up committee (Kaz, Gail, Karen, Lori, Betty,Paul, & Katie) for being there early and helping with the taping off of the grooming areas. I know it is hard on the knees and back and I do appreci-ate all your help. It does seem to go faster every year as we all know what we are doing and work well together.
Thank You AllTerri Meyers

Note from the Show Chairperson:
The 2013 Poodle Club of America National Specialty is now in the history books. Memorial Trophies have been engraved with the new winners names and put away waiting for 2014. Each year brings new ideas, new winners and new breeders who are looking for-ward to what the next year will bring. It is what keeps all of us working for the common goal whether it is breeding that perfect Poodle, looking for the perfect Poodle and/or looking forward to seeing our friends. Each year we meet and pick up where we left off the year before. We come with high expectations and hopes that involve all of the above.
Being the Show Chairman for the Salisbury Kennel Club Dog Show for 28 years and our Cluster Coordi-nator for 4 years, still does not totally prepare one for being Chairman of a National Specialty, but it helps. It was an honor to be asked by the PCA Board to be your Show Chairman. It is quite an undertaking to work with committee chairmen that live in cities so far away. I want to thank Johnny Shoemaker for being my Assistant Show Chairman. He was always available when I needed him. I would call him in a panic about something and he would calmly reassure me that all would be fine. When he arrived in Salisbury, he quick-ly went to work helping where needed!
Without the committees in place, that have done their jobs tirelessly for many years, a show chairmans job
would be impossible. I loved working with each of you. Each committee has different situations and needs that sometimes require attention or problem solving. By working together, hopefully each of my committees felt that we had a great year and together we were able to solve anything that needed attention.
I cannot begin to name everyone that helped for fear of leaving someone off my list. I can only hope that each committee chair was able to send in a personal tidbit for the Newsletter.
My week started on Thursday April 18th with the set- up of the tracking events. There was not one spare min-ute until the very end on Friday April 26th, I worked with so many wonderful caring people and together hopefully we have continued to make PCA the Poodle Event known all over the world.
The two people I would like to mention are Dennis Mc-Coy and Brad Odagari. Dennis helped so much with small details and it certainly made my job easier. Brad Odagari, Chairman of Floral Decorations did such a fantastic job. He selected and arranged for the shipping of the tropical flowers from Hawaii to Salisbury. With the help of PCA members and friends, the arena was transformed, as if it had been moved to Hawaii; it was truly Poodles in Paradise.
Somehow, someway, as if by magic PCA is a Show Stopper. I know first hand it is not magic, but the hard work that truly goes into making our specialty shine. It is the dedicated hard workers that come together for our wonderful breed: Poodles! When someone was needed to help on any committee or booth, there was always a volunteer there that day to offer a hand. This year, we had a lot of new members and new faces that helped where needed and for that we thank you. Re-member, by you volunteering, it helped lighten the load for the others. We shake our heads and say how can we ever top this? PCA members and friends, YOU ARE THE BEST!
Again, thank you for entrusting me with this job.Fondly,
Barb Furbush, 2013 Show Chairman
Thank You!I would like to thank Aileen Tobias for her excellent help in working with the vendors at the Poodle Club of America national.
She is always on top of the details, whether it is making signs for the booth, keeping track of the assigned vendor bingo numbers for each vendor or, most important of all, helping to make the vendors feel that we recognize them as an important part of the show.
Aileen your work is greatly appreciated, and I look forward to doing it again next year.

AKC Outstanding Sportsmanship AwardAND THE WINNER IS:
The first time I met Leslie Newing she was about 20 years old. At that time, she was in college doing her thing and her mom was doing her thing - Poodles. Leslie and her mother met me at Jordan Chamberlains to evaluate a litter of puppies sired by a dog my daughter and I bred, and owned, Ch. Bevanton Mischief Maker. Leslie, was an avid horsewoman, judge and trainer who traveled with her friends and horses to shows from Maine to Florida during weekends and summer breaks. We all know that when we make friends through our dogs, even when you do not live close-by the person, most likely you will become engaged in their life and activities in many aspects. Leslie taught high school history loved and showed her Doberman Pinschers as well as her horses. It wasnt long before she began enjoying the poodles and working with them alongside her mom.
About 13 years ago, this June, when I was on the PCA Board of Directors as Publicity Chairman, PCA needed someone who could help bring the Newsletter to the next level. While at that Board Meeting in Upper Marlboro, Leslies name came to my mind as she was very active on the computer and I felt she had a lot to offer PCA. You might say untapped youth and knowledge. We called her and she agreed to become the PCA Newsletter Editor. The next year, Annie was looking for someone to take over the PCA website from Hal Kinne as Webmaster, and again, Leslies name came to mind. She agreed to redesign the PCA website with the help of Lisa Croft Elliott and then later Mia DiBenedetto. Leslie, Lisa and Mia successfully managed our P.C.A. website for 6 years.
Ten years ago, AKC asked Parent Clubs to design a pamphlet that AKC could send out to new puppy owners when they registered a puppy giving important information for that particular breed. This pamphlet is very informative giving grooming tips, health care and other things that are pertinent to that breed. Annie Clark, Leslie and I worked tirelessly on this pamphlet for quite some time, as the main goal was to make certain it would be educational for the pet owning Poodle people more than anything. After that was finalized, again we tapped Leslie to help with a brochure on How to manage your Stud Dog and Brood Bitch as well as a variety of other pamphlets for Meet the breeds and other things for PCA All of these jobs were a challenge, but we really didnt think of them as jobs! We were all working together for the common goal of making the public aware that Poodles are indeed the best!
When I was unable to write the article for Dog News for our National, I knew I could count on Leslie to step up to the plate and help me. She has been the person to call for PCA Breeder Referral for the region east of the Mississippi for 3 years. Leslie fought hard to bring awareness to health challenges for our poodles. She has worked hard with Dr. Mark Neff on his dwarfism project and has also brought awareness to Canine Active Hepatitis in the standard poodle. She generously donates her professional photographs for all Poodle Club of America projects some of which are: Meet the Breeds; our website; magazine articles in Dog News; The Canine Chronicle and Dogs in Review.
That first meeting in 1980 at Jordans started a friendship that has endured everything one sees pretty much in a lifetime; birth, death, vacations, happiness as well as sadness. Through the years, I know first hand, Leslie Newing is truly deserving of the AKC OUTSTANDING SPORTSMANSHIP AWARD

Affiliate Club NewsThe PCA National Specialty was spectacular. Great weather, unbelievable flowers (thank you Brad Odagiri PCA member and President of the Poodle Club of Hawaii -- and his team), gorgous animals; what could be better! I had a great time finally meeting so many of the individuals I have interacted with on the phone and by computer over this year. It is so nice to put a face to a name.
The Affiliate Club Council meeting was again a success this year. We held the meeting in the Hospitality Room, with snacks(!), and we knew in advance to have extra chairs; plus we stayed within the time frame I had promised. The meeting was very interactive, with presentations from Mary Ellen Fischler (PCA Delegate to AKC), and Johnny Shoemaker (Chair of the 2013 PCA Regional) and Jeff Nokes (President of Columbia Poodle Club, with LuAnn Wilkinson graciously volunteeingly to take minutes.. Put those September 2013 dates on your calendars!
As you doubtlessly are aware, the PCA Regional can only take place with your continuing support, both of time and money. Local affilliate clubs can consider having ongoing fundraising activities so when the inevitable requests for help come, clubs have money available for ads, trophies etc. One nice thing about this years event is that there will only be one catalog. Additionally, I can guarantee that anyone who feels moved by the spirit to voluneer at the show would be welcomed with open arms by the Columbia Poodle Club, Puget Sounds Poodle Club and PCA . Putting on a Regional is a massive task and we all need to support those brave poodle clubs taking on the challenge. In addition to Conformation there will be a full venue for Obedience, Rally and Agility plus Hunting, Working and Tracking.
In response to questions regarding procedures from our affiliate clubs, the PCA Board, as allowed by AKC rules, will support any club which sponsers an all-breed agility trial that chooses to only allow pure breed dogs to compete in their all-breed agility trial. Additionally, AKC allows a poodle to be shown in Junior Showmanship in any clip including shaved down. Now for a purest like me, the full show coat
is part of the conformation experience, but AKC rules trump all discussion on this issue. One consideration that has been suggested for the future, is that Juniors showing in Open Classes might be required to follow conformation standards, but that is presently not true. Despite this whole discussion, all the juniors who showed at PCA this year had dogs that were very nicely groomed and in appropriate conformation clips. Finally, Mary Olund, the Corresponding Secretary for PCA,will publish any specialty result on PCA Facebook. You can send the results to her at [email protected].
As promised, I gave an brief presentation of the results of the Affiliate Club Status Survey that we mailed to all clubs in late February,March and again in April. Did I mention I can be persistent ? 91% (43 out of 47 clubs) responded. In some cases an individual officer filled the survey out,but several clubs used this as an opportunity to include information from members gathered at regular meetings.
84% of clubs are incorporated. One recomendation for all clubs is to consider being incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization - which allows all contributions to the club to be tax deductable. Incorporation requirements differ from state to state, so check with your state; and 501(c (3) registration is controlled by the IRS. It may be beneficial to speak with a local attorney or CPA (or so says my son, the lawyer!)
Membership numbers:
8-20 = 10 clubs (23%),
21-35 = 17 clubs (40%),
36 + = 18 clubs (42%)
Over the past 10 years has your membership:
Increased 8 (18%),
Decreased 17 (40%),
Remained constant 8 (42%)
86% of clubs reported have a web site Mary Ellen Fischler noted that AKC has a program to help clubs develop a web site for those interested
cont. on page 17

The Poodle Papers
Page 17
30% of clubs reported being on Facebook
6% of clubs have a Formal Mentoring Program, while 51% have some form of informal mentoring
30% of clubs have a member offiically responsible to keep the club informed on legislative issues, while another 30% have an member who informally does this task
63% of the clubs have an active Rescue Committee and all clubs reported doing rescue referral and working with local rescue groups
56% of clubs contribute to the PCA Health Foundation which does not include individual contributions
30% of clubs contribute to the PCA Rescue Foundation and many clubs reported that they have their own rescue programs
I asked clubs what the greatest challenges they faced were. The responses varied, including: Recruitment of new members, and the aging of existing clubs with a smaller membership.
Keeping members active, helping new members learn the goals of the club and training them in how to run a show Getting younger people to join and stay because of group dynamics
Educating the public about buying pets from dedicated breeders, while at the same time monitoring those members which seem to produce an usually large number of accidental breedings
Maintaining fiscal viability while putting on 2 independent conformation specialties each year with obedience
Legislation that affects our ability to own, show and breed dogs
In response to the question of How can PCA assist your club, responses included: Be more visable locally.
PCA should hold its members accountable for particiapating in their local clubs; as some PCA members use their local clubs for breeder referral purposes only
Consider upholding the rules about dyeing, no wiggies and a reduction of massive hair
Consider a clip that allows the dog to actually be seen
Upholding our code of ethics
Offer support in educational programs
Give local clubs new ideas for heirt activities
Rotate the national specialty throughout the country
Have a legislative watchgroup thatkeeps tabs on what is happening throughout the country (I would suggest clubs join the group, [email protected] which gets contains legislative info, membership is open to all!)
We also recieved a several well thought out comments and questions that have no easy answers. One of the best questions was:
In our club conformation showing is dying out. There is so much political garbage that there are no owner-handlers. PCA and AKC seem unwilling to recognize this and hair is out of control. Our members are older and new members are discouraged because the cost of a professional handler is prohibitive.
And another club asked:
The parent club has established criteria. Why can AKC countermand the Parent Clubs guideline for their particular breed? Stand up to AKC in their softening of rules. A disqualification is a disqualification. A 4 to 6 month multi colored poodle with NOT change colors to solid at the 6 month birthday. PCA developed the breed standard and AKC should honor that decision.
I wish I had an answer for these great questions today, but all I can do is assure local clubs thath the full PCA Board is taking up these and all questions, and intends to ensure that individual breeds and their national clubs have and keep the responsiblity for maintaining breed standards, with an eye both towards the past and tradition, and moving forward along a path that encouranges and shows our breeds to the greatest possible audience.
I will be emailing the final survey results to all the affiliate clubs soon, and will be responding to some questions in my next article. Anyone who wants an individual copy of the survey results also just needs to ask.

The Poodle Papers
Page 21Greater Milwaukee Poodle Club Happenings
A Newbie to the world of poodles,the breeding and pedigree of a Volunteer
I came to the poodle world in much the same way that most folks do. And, when I say I, I mean my husband and me. We have always been dog people. Through the process of breeder referral, I met Cathy Catelain. When I called her, she interviewed me rigorously about my situation. Through her, we adopted two wonderful black minis, Chase and Mach.
It was apparent that adopting these very energetic, smart and motivated dogs was going to require some education for me. Through the experience of a breeder relationship, we have always been able to ask questions and learn how to interpret our poodles behavior. I learned about the intelligence of poodles, through her. She showed me what they were doing and helped me understand how to care for their psyches. I have discovered that not only am I a good mother to our human son, I am a good dog/puppy mom. I sing to them, I tell them jokes and I let them kiss me on the lips I have seen the great diversity of their personalities, gifts and talents.
After a year of being Cathys friend, she invited me to attend a Greater Milwaukee Poodle Club meeting. In response, she and GMPC got the gift of my writing, design and graphic talents/skills. She read my resume and knows that although I will never breed, show or groom dogs; I am a very skilled and gifted person who has served as a Volunteer all of my adult life. The new leadership of GMPC has tapped into my talents and I am now being asked to help and participate in my areas of strength.
This past year Cathy worked with Mary Lebet and Sandy Marshall on the advertising for the PCA Catalog. I sold ad space, in one incarnation of my life, and, writing is an old Catholic School skill.. So, I was more than happy to help Mary/Sandy/Cathy redesign some pages and get the Commercial Ads done ON TIME! I also edited some of the In Memoriam pages for this years catalog. Now I am working with Johnny Shoemaker, the fine folks from Columbia and Puget Sound Poodle Clubs and Cathy on the catalog for the Regional Specialty! And, I am the Show Chair for the upcoming June Specialty for GMPC. I could NEVER be a Show Chair without my GMPC Spirit Guides!!!! I still dont understand it all..but in time. I am a happy Poodle Person!
So, what do I bring to the breed? Only time and PCAs willingness to allow us newbies to participate will tell.
My advice to PCA when it comes to volunteers is this: always read a resume; ask everyone who is interested in poodles, what talents and skills they have. Ask them if they would be willing to contribute through their strengths for the good of the breed. Good Breeding is not just reserved to puppies and show dogs!

Greater Milwaukee Poodle Club Hosted theFirst PCA Upland Working Certificate TestMay 10, 2013
GMPC board member Jaci Bowman and Jacquelyn Taylor of TX have been working 8 months on developing the Upland Hunting program to certify the hunting instinct that is still so hard wired into our breed. Historical documentation of market hunters using the dogs to find flightless ducks, pre-firearm hunters using the dogs as flushers and finders for falcons, and finders of arrows that were shot at game, plus the famous truffle dogs that were used to find the special fungi, all exhibit the hunting ability of the current day upland dog.
This hunting ability is not well demonstrated in the current retriever program; however is very well demonstrated in the AKC spaniel hunting program, which is what the PCA Upland Program is patterned after. A very large percentage of the hunting poodles that are currently hunted over are upland hunting dogs, hunting pheasant, partridge, grouse, and woodcock.
However, we are not as of this date allowed to compete with the spaniels in their tests so we needed one of our own! So the PCA upland program began, and the first test was held at Wern Valley Sportsmans Club in
Waukesha WI . Sixteen dogs were run, 15 standards and a miniature, in the 3 different levels. Success was had by 12 of the dogs entered - 11 standards and the miniature!
It was a fun time, well supported by club members that really didnt know what they were going to see, let alone DO. That is what is so great about this club; they are game for ANYTHING!!!

Page 23Susanne Nash was our field Marshal who had to make sure the dogs were ready to run and the walking gallery was safe from the live gunfire in the field. Very different from the retriever WCs that only have blank shots in the field!
Bev Duerst was our shagger who carries a large wicker back pack (a trappers basket) that the dispatched birds are put into (one or two got banked off the back of unsuspecting Bevs head!).
Ann Helm was our winger launcher, a contraption that tosses birds for the walk up retrieve. She also turned out to be our trail layer as well having to drag a dead bird to set the trail for each of the UWCX dogsnot an easy task!
Jean Lazarus was our popper gun person, shooting off blanks for the walkup, in total view of the dogs and handlers.
Roberta (Pepsi) Gilson was our trial chair and food chair.
All in all it was a FUN successful test, and the comments heard from all attendees, was when is the next one; this was fantastic, cannot believe how close to real hunting it is! It was so much fun watching the dogs do what they truly love and working with their handlers.
Jaci Bowman, Test Secretary and Coordinator
When is a Specialty, not just a Specialty?
At the Affiliate Club Meeting, at the recent PCA National, Sue Burge talked about things that clubs were doing to help draw folks in to the world of poodles. GMPC is doing just that with our June Specialty. Our Specialty will take place on Friday night, June 28, 2013. It will happen in conjunction with the Kettle Moraine Kennel Club All Breed Shows on Saturday and Sunday that weekend. It will occur indoors in an air conditioned exhibition center in West Bend WI. And this year, we are lucky enough that we will be offering the Sterling Silver PCA Medallion at this Specialty. This will be our second year with this Independent Specialty. We started last year in our new venue and we had a lot of fun!
Everyone talks about the need to draw in new folks. Everyone talks about how to do that. The component that is needed is that the hook must be fun and not involve anyone being vanquished by additional workload. It should occur in the midst of that competition, but it must operate alongside the competition. It should appeal to the Good

Sportsmanship of alongside the ring.
Along with the fore mentioned things, we love poodles with all the cache that they have. How about a High Tea to occur ringside on the afternoon of the Specialty!!!! How about having it for: 1. Our GMPC membership who rarely gathers to just have fun and have a cup of coffee together. 2. To make sure that those who have spent their time and money to compete in our Specialty, have a bite to eat before the Show when they become competitors. 3. To show others that poodle folks are hospitable, generous and not just too sexy for their fur!!!!!!! Does it matter what we have to eat and drink that day? Not nearly as much as the motivation to gather and laugh.
Cathy Catelain was the one who mentioned High Tea to me. We had a good laugh and then realized that it was a great idea. I bought a packet of 5 x 8 blank index cards and made invitations. They are below this article for you to see. We sent them, along with a cover letter asking folks to consider attending our Specialty and joining us for High Tea. On the back of the invitation is a listing of our events for the year. The invitation is also in our Premium List. Cost of producing the invitation: about $3. I did them at home on my laser printer.
Following is a photo of the front and back of the invitation. I hope this will give you the impetus to have some fun. Folks are always drawn to those who are happy and enjoying each others company. I want us all to be that group.

GMPC June 22, 2013 Specialty and All Breed Obedience/Rally TrialsThe Greater Milwaukee Poodle Club will be holding its annual Specialty and All Breed Obedience and Rally trials June 22, 2013 at the Western Waukesha Dog Training Club in Ixonia, WI.
New this year is the Helen Johnson Memorial trophy for Highest Scoring Poodle in the specialty trial. Helen Johnson was an important member in GMPC; she headed our obedience program, and actually started agility way before agility was the in thing to do back in the late 1980s and early 1990s. She won many trophies over her time, and when she passed on, they were donated back to GMPC. In her honor, for all she has done for the performance poodles in the club, one of her large vintage trophies will be dedicated to her and offered for High Scoring Poodle in trial. To retain permanent possession, it must be won 3 times by the same handler, not necessarily with the same dog. The dog and owners name will be added annually to the trophy, and a plaque that Helen had won from GMPC over the years will be presented to the current winner. Each of these plaques has the vintage GMPC logo on them with Obedience, Field, and Conformation depicted on it. A very special award indeed! Good luck to all the Obedience poodles to be entered!
The Judges are: Mrs. Dianne Allen and Ms. Cynthia M Pischke for Obedience; Dr Sandy Gould will judge all Rally classes.
