PCA NA PL 2016 - Pekingese Club of America
2016 NATIONAL SPECIALTY PEKINGESE CLUB OF AMERICA, INC. Enjoy the Pekingese – the Biggest Little Dogs in the World in the Biggest Little City in the World Reno is known as the “Biggest Little City In the World” and grew up around the 1st bridge built across the Truckee River near where the railroad tumbles down out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and through Donner Pass. A lovely River Walk has been created to allow people to stroll along the river near this bridge amidst merchants and dining. Virginia St. brings you to the casinos and city activity. In April & May, the average temperatures in the area run in the mid 60’s to mid 70’s. About an hour’s drive up Hwy. 50 into the Sierras brings you to the beautiful Lake Tahoe, or about an hour up the other side of Hwy. 50 brings you to the fun, well restored old mining town of Virginia City where gold & silver made the area famous. Activities in the Reno area include gaming, family entertainment, outdoor activities, festivals, fantastic cuisine, shows, art and the National Auto Museum (rated as one of the world’s top 5 greatest car museums). So there’s something for everyone in Reno! We have intentionally left Sunday, following the PCA weekend of shows, unscheduled so you might enjoy your time in this area, or simply use it as a quiet day to pack and start your journey home.

Shared values of those involved in the sport include principles of sportsmanship. They are practiced in all sections of our sport: conformation, performance and companion. Many believe that these principles of sportsmanship are the prime reason why our sport has thrived for over one hundred years. With the belief that it is useful to periodically articulate the fundamentals of our sport, this code is presented: • Sportsmen respect the history, traditions and integrity of the sport of purebred dogs. • Sportsmen commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy and vigorous competition, as well as winning and losing with grace. • Sportsmen refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the sport of purebred dogs by injecting personal advantage or consideration into their decisions or behavior. • The sportsman judge judges only on the merits of the dogs and considers no other factors. • The sportsman judge or exhibitor accepts constructive criticism. • The Sportsman exhibitor declines to enter or exhibit under a judge where it might reasonably appear that the judge’s placements could be based on something other than the merits of the dogs. • The sportsman exhibitor refuses to compromise the impartiality of a judge. • The sportsman respects the AKC bylaws, rules, regulations and policies governing the sport of purebred dogs. • Sportsmen find that vigorous competition and civility are not inconsistent and are able to appreciate the merit of their competition and the effort of competitors. • Sportsmen welcome, encourage and support newcomers to the sport. • Sportsmen will deal fairly with all those who trade with them. • Sportsmen are willing to share honest and open appraisals of both the strengths and weaknesses of their breeding stock. • Sportsmen spurn any opportunity to take personal advantage of positions offered or bestowed upon them. • Sportsmen always consider as paramount the welfare of their dog. • Sportsmen refuse to embarrass the sport, the American Kennel Club, or themselves while taking part in the sport.
