| NADOI Training Tips: Back to the Basics, by Jeanne Hampl (08/25/2009): Not too long ago I did a presentation at the Humane Society of Tacoma and Pierce County on teaching a reliable recall. I demonstrated with a darling Australian Shepherd mix. Teaching a reliable recall is necessary for your dog’s safety. Unless a dog has a reliable recall, he will never be able to enjoy off leash play. This exercise can be taught to any dog, no matter what age or breed. I teach from the outline below over a six-week class.

Ringside Conversation
with Richard Beauchamp“New” Breeds (01/27/2010): “New” breeds - or as folks here in the U.S. are apt to call any breed we don't normally see competing at our Group level - rare. There could be thousands being shown everywhere else in the world, but typically American - if it's not as we know it, it's not the real thing.

UKC's third most widely registered breed is the Bluetick Coonhound. It is most likely that the Bluetick is principally descended from the quick foxhounds of England with some introduction of the blood of various French hounds which were used for hunting big game. The French dogs were known as being very cold nosed. George Washington received five such French hounds from General Lafayette. Blueticks were originally registered with UKC as English. In 1946, at the request of the Bluetick fanciers, UKC began registering Blueticks as a separate breed. |
