(Sara) 3 Joanne Gervais SBFC Meeting Minutes: January 27, 2013 The executive has passed a motion to create a web site and so we now have a domain name and space on a server. I am hoping to use Web Easy software to create the site (I ordered it for myself, don’t have it yet). We are hoping to have another person with experience help to get the site up. Anyone care to volunteer? This should help get our club better known and we should hopefully pick up more members. It’s also a good way to educate people about our beloved breed. On another note, membership renewals are now due. Please fill out the included membership form and send in to: Saint Bernard Fanciers of Canada, Box 241, Seven Sisters Falls, MB R0E 1Y0. I have set up a PayPal account should you wish to pay that way. Just send in your completed membership (fill out, scan and email) and I will send you an invoice. Cheques are fine too! Membership form is included in this newsletter. The next meeting of the SBFC will be held on Sunday, February 3rd on Chatzy. Times are 5 P.M. Mountain, 6 Central, 7 Eastern and 8 Atlantic. All members are more than welcome to attend. If you wish to participate, let me know and I’ll send an invitation along with an agenda and pertinent reports.

It seems that something spe‐ mouvement ! Il semble que quelque chose spéciale devrait être faite pour ceci, notre premier Na onale. cial should be done for this, our first Na onal. As a young, struggling but determined club, we had to meet our CKC commitment of hos ng a Na onal this year or go back to square one. It would have been fabulous to have drawn more entries from Canada but the ming was unfortunate since it was only one week a er the American Na onal show. We certainly started with lousy weather but we were inside and dry. I had no dogs to show this year and that was strange! My me was spent se ng up the ring side table, lugging prizes, selling t‐shirts and cata‐ logues, expedi ng as much as possible and helping wherever needed. I also ferried our judges back to their hotel at the end of the day. We do have video of the en re event but at this me, I have not found a so ware program to downsize it so that it will fit on a DVD. I believe it runs to 20 GB or so. Any help would be appreciated in that area. Comme un jeune, lu e mais club déterminé, nous a dû tenir notre engagement de CKC d'accueillir un ressor ssant ce e année ou aller de nouveau à la place une. Il aurait été fabuleux pour avoir ré plus d'entrées du Canada mais la synchronisa on était fâcheuse puisqu'il était seulement une semaine après l'exposi on na onale américaine. Nous avons certainement commencé par le temps nul mais nous é ons intérieurs et secs. Je n'ai eu aucun chien à montrer que ce e année et celle était étrange ! Mon temps a été passé installant la table de côté d'anneau, prix de support, vendant des T‐shirts et des catalogues, les expédiant autant que possible et aidant là où nécessaire. J'également ai transporté en bac nos juges de nouveau à leur hôtel finalement. Nous avons la vidéo de l'événement en er mais ac‐ tuellement, je n'ai pas trouvé un logiciel pour le ré‐ duire de sorte qu'il s'adapte sur un DVD. Je crois qu'il fonc onne à 20 gigaoctets ou ainsi. N'importe quelle aide serait appréciée dans ce secteur. 14 SAINT BERNARD FANCIERS OF CANADA VOLUME I, ISSUE 1 JANUARY 2013 JANVIER 2012 NATIONAL SPECIALTY REPORT ‐ RAPPORT NATIONAL DE SPÉCIALITÉ Huge thanks to all the exhibitors for their support in this and especially to those who drove hundreds of miles to help us celebrate this event. Also huge thanks to Mark Grant who came from Nova Sco a at his own expense to judge sweeps and par cipate in the awards presenta ons. And it was a celebra on! The Saint Bernard has been so long without a Na‐ onal presence and it is our me! It was so wonderful to meet members in person that we had been communica ng with by phone and email. I hope everyone had a great me and I enjoyed watching the lovely dogs. Mercis énormes à tous les exposants de leur appui en cela et par culièrement à ceux qui ont conduit des cen‐ taines de milles pour nous aider à célébrer cet événe‐ ment. Les mercis en outre énormes à Mark Grant qui est venu de Nova Sco a à ses propres frais chez le juge balaye et par cipent aux présenta ons de récompenses. Et c'était une célébra on ! Le St Bernard a été si long sans présence na onale et il est notre temps !

J'espère que chacun a eu un grand temps et j'ai eu plaisir à observer les beaux chiens.

You missed a really fun time. I sure hope 2014 sees more Canadian entries! Giselle Ainsi, le week-end a été très excitant et amusant, épuisant pour dire le moins, mais je le ferais sans hésiter une seconde. Merci Joanne, grâce Irenne.

Mes compliments à tous les membres pour leurs contributions aux trophées et le parrainage des classes.

You are the connec on be‐ tween the exhibitors and the judge. Here's a run‐ down of what a ring steward does. A er introducing yourself to the Specialty Judge, you go to the Show Secretary to collect the Specialty Judge's Sheets, then proceed to the Spe‐ cialty Ring. You confer with the Specialty Chair, and go over the prizes, ribbons, rose es and any addi onal items that are going to be awarded. You separate the Judge's pages from the Ring Stew‐ ard's, and place the Judge's on the table, ready for use. Once the Judge arrives, you ask the Judge how they would like you to bring the dogs in the ring, and how they want them placed for awards. You go over the order of judging, and how the Judge would like the ribbons placed on the table. At the appointed me for the Specialty, you an‐ nounce to the Exhibitors that the Specialty has be‐ gun, and call the first class into the ring. Once they are in the ring, you make sure you have all the ap‐ propriate ribbons ready. Then the race is on! You have to make sure all the trophies, prizes, rose es and ribbons are in order so none will be forgo en. While a class is in the ring, you make sure the next class is on deck. As the Judge announces the class awards, you write them down, calling each one out as you mark them, to ensure that the Judge agrees with them. Awards are handed out, and the next class is called in. You make sure you tell the han‐ dlers which dogs will have to go into the ring again for further compe on. This goes on un l Best In Specialty. Un steward anneau est un rouage essen el dans la mécanique d'une spécialité bien gérée. Vous êtes le lien entre les exposants et le juge. Voici un aperçu de ce qu'est un délégué anneau fait. Après vous être présenté devant le juge de spé‐ cialité, vous allez à la secrétaire de l'exposi on à recueillir feuilles du juge Specialty, puis passez à l'Anneau de spécialité. Vous s'entretenir avec le président de spécialité, et aller sur les prix, des ru‐ bans, des rose es et des ar cles supplémentaires qui vont être a ribués. Vous séparer les pages du juge de l'Anneau Steward, et placez le poste de juge sur la table, prêt à être u lisé. Une fois que le juge arrive, vous demandez au juge comment ils aimeraient que vous appor ez les chiens dans le ring, et comment ils veulent les a placés pour les prix. Vous allez sur l'ordre du juge, et la façon dont le juge souhaite que les rubans placés sur la table. À l'heure prévue pour la spécialité, vous annoncez aux exposants que la spécialité a commencé, et appeler la première classe sur le ring. Une fois qu'ils sont dans le ring, vous assurez vous d'avoir tous les rubans appropriées prêt. Ensuite, la course est lancée! Vous devez vous assurer que tous les trophées, des prix, des rose es et rubans sont en ordre de sorte qu'aucun ne sera oublié. Alors que la classe est dans le ring, vous assurez la classe sui‐ vante est sur le pont. Comme le juge annonce les prix de la classe, vous les écrivez, appelant chacun à mesure que vous les marquer, afin de s'assurer que le juge est d'accord avec eux. Les prix sont re‐ mis, et la classe suivante est appelée po Vous assu‐ rez‐vous dire les ges onnaires des chiens devront aller dans le ring à nouveau pour une plus grande concurrence.

Une fois que tous les chiens sont dans le ring, vous placez tous les trophées, des prix et des rose es dans l'ordre où ils seront a ribués. Comme le juge annonce les gagnants, vous avez encore appeler les numéros brassard comme vous les marquer vers le bas. Vous pour‐ riez être nécessaires pour aider le juge transporter les prix aux gagnants.

Once all the dogs are in the ring, you place all the trophies, prizes and rose es in the order that they will awarded. As the Judge announces the winners, you again call the armband numbers out as you mark them down. You may be needed to help the Judge carry the awards to the winners. By the me the Specialty is over, and you have handed the sheets in, you can finally relax and help clean up the Specialty Ring. The Specialty is usually a blur by then, and you look forward to seeing the pictures later on so you can remember everything at a leisurely pace. 24 Note of Thanks We would like to thank the following sponsors for their generosity.

Muzzle short, vertical depth was greater than the length of muzzle, eyes medium size dark brown had intelligent, friendly look Overall I had a very nice selection of dogs that I think will improve the breed All the dogs were clean and well presented by their owners and handlers. I gave each handler lots of time to show their dog in a natural silhouette or stacked. They all did very well. It was a hard decision selecting the winners but that’s what the shows are all about for the betterment of the breed The show was well organized thanks to the executive and all the hard working club members. Dinner after the show was very nice. We all had a good time, food was great with the losers and winners being at the same table (holy hanna ) They all were talking about their breeding programmes and improving the breed. The Fort Garry Kennel Club also must be commended for their beautiful grounds and spacious rings and their great hospitality. I hope you enjoyed my company as I did yours. Thanks for asking me to do your first specialty show. Remember at this specialty everyone was a winner by owning the best breed in the world the Saint Bernard. Good luck for your future shows. Yours truly David Paterson 31 And in the end... And so our first Na onal is behind us. We had some highs, some lows and we certain‐ ly had some glitches but overall, I hope we all had fun. The Fort Garry Kennel club, our hosts, were tremendously accommoda ng, providing a large grooming area and a Saint ‐sized ring to exhibit in. Good sportsman‐ ship prevailed and we all parted ways with fond memories of Saints striding around the ring in all their glory. Already, the Quebec members are working on our next Specialty that will be held in 2014. Sites are being evaluated with the hopes of a rac ng more American entries and giving us all more me to plan this event. A show doesn`t just ``happen``, it takes a dedicated team to plan, organize and host such an event. Let`s all help sup‐ port our 2014 Specialty and get involved. Et donc notre premier Na onal est derrière nous. Nous avons eu d'haut, quelques niveaux bas et nous certaintement a eu des pépins mais général, j'espère que tous me sommes amusés. Le Fort Garry Kennlel club, nos hôtes, accommodait formidablement, fournissant un grand secteur soignant et un anneau de Saint‐ Calibré pour exposer en. Le bon fair‐play a pré‐ valu de le et tous les façons séparées avec les mémoires amatrices de Saints striding autour de l'anneau dans toute leur gloire. Hugs to your furry friends! Déjà, les membres de Québec traitent notre prochaine Spécialité qui sera tenu en 2014. Les sites sont évalués avec les espoirs d'a rer en‐ trées plus des américaines et tous nous don‐ nant plus de temps pour planifier cet événe‐ ment. Un spectacle come ca ce ne fais pas juste comme ca, il prend une équipe dévouée pour planifier, organiser et héberger tel un événement. Jèspaire que nous toute l'aide sou ent notre 2014 Spécialité et est impli‐ quée. Joanne Les étreintes à vos amis au poil touffu !
