President’s Message
~April Showers Bring May Flowers~ I might as well start
with another familiar saying and we all know that in our neck of
the woods, this is too true. But, it does not stop any of us from
getting out and enjoying our furry kids!
Events are ramping up and I hope to see many of you at the
Fun Field Day at Cathy Hakola’s house on May 2nd. See the
flier in this newsletter for more information. This is a fun event
where you can bring your dogs out to do what they were bred
to do. We always have a potluck and a BBQ. We are hoping for
rain between now and then so Cathy’s new pond will be filled
and the puppies can literally “get their feet wet”. It is a great
practice day for the WC Test!
On May 16th is our B-Match and meeting. This is always a
great event and a place for your puppies to strut their stuff. At
the meeting we have a potluck and BBQ. Entries are taken day
of match but you are highly encouraged to enter in advance.
The flier and entry form are included in this newsletter.
On May 30th will be the WC Test on Sauvies Island. Jeff
Kennedy is the chair and the flyer and information form is
included in the newsletter. Another fun event for all of us!
The Hunt Test and Specialty are always on our minds about
now. We are looking for another co-chair for the Hunt Test as
Barb Strauss had to step down for personal reasons. Please
contact Tracy Hildebrandt (tomboy.hilde@gmail.com) or
myself at QRLabs@yahoo.com (as Test Secretary) if you are
interested in helping. This is a top priority at this time.
Ellen Sparks and Lizzie Moir are on top of the Specialty but
helpings hands are always welcome. I do know that someone
is needed to chair the breakfast each day. I am sure there are
other jobs to fill as well.
Our events are only as good as our members make them so
please, step forward one and all!
Your President,
Cindy Freeman

President’s Report
Via Lisa – Cindy Freeman had no report
Vice President’s Report
No report
Secretary’s Report
Lizzie Moir did have correspondence from the AKC about the specialty and it was dealt with. The letter
about the new hunt test regulations can be forwarded upon request.
Treasurer’s Report
Bank account was reported. This month we had a small income from dues and donations and expenses
and AKC fees. Our insurance is renewed as of now (new policy).
Old (Unfinished) Business
HRT: Traffic is bad until 10:30AM due to the foot race (Foot Traffic Flat) on the island. Marilyn Parker
suggests people get there before 6AM. Marilyn will talk to Doug Shade who runs the masters to discuss
timing. Traffic getting onto the island is heavy. Julie Marquis noted that it took her an hour to get to the
island from St. Johns one year at approximately 6AM. One lane will be closed on island until close of the
race around 10:30AM. Race schedule, per the Foot Traffic website: 5:30AM: Race day packet pick up
begins; 6:30AM: FULL marathon starts; 6:50AM: HALF marathon starts; 7:45AM: 5K & 8K starts
WC: No update
Specialty: Hotel rooms are double priced compared to last year. Will need six to eight rooms (depends
on where obedience judges are coming from, if any are couples/family members that can share, etc.).
Look at other options. Look into Air BNB. Also discussed ways to save money at specialty to make up
for the increase in prices. Ideas: stud service auction, saving money on ribbons, additional dog services/
items.
Regarding fiesta theme, Susie Morrill and Lisa will take care of it. Will take donations. Possibly charge
$5.00 per person for those who want to attend. Other clubs and dog events often charge for the food.
Would need to go into premium list. Look into whether or not that went out already.
Volunteers are needed to take on breakfasts for the specialties – please contact Lizzie.
Marilyn is already getting items for the baskets. She would like $100 for the baskets toward the raffle.
Susan Huntzinger seconded. All voted in favor. Greg Huntzinger wrote Marilyn a check for $100 at the
meeting.
B-Match: Note the change in date. Julie will get Greg to forward her entry form to update and add to next
newsletter.
Field Training Day: No update
3
Sportsman Show: Table until close to next year. Julie will put it in her calendar to bring up prior to next
year’s show.
Trailer: Judy and Scott Chambers have looked into places.
Trophies: HIT Rally – will be added to trophy donations. Cannot get glass from Phyllis anymore. Taking
ideas for new items and will email and ask around for ideas. Have been looking into it – finding it fairly
expensive. Ideas that came up are pottery and slip leashes.
New Business
Catalog Ad: Not sure if the ad made it into it.
Rescue: Tabled
FB Page: If a member wants to be added they can email Cindy, Lizzie, or Julie. Julie to add a note in the
newsletter email.
Dilute Gene: Julie will find letter to add to newsletter.
Educational Speakers: Ideas included, Tracking – Curtis and Carla, Titers/Vaccinations, Dermatologists,
Physical Therapist, Accupuncture for dogs, Holistic vet (SE Portland).
Field Training Seminar: Everyone was into it. The fall would be the best time. Ideas for seminar leaders
included Adrian Harden, Lee Salmon, Barb Gilchrist, and Richard Matzke.
Membership
Announced: Erica and Steve McClure from West Linn, OR
Voted: Linda Cogan accepted
Meeting adjourned at 8:24PM

Helpful Information for the Upcoming Show Season
AKC BOARD OF DIRECTORS APPROVES OBEDIENCE REGULATION CHANGES
Effective DECEMBER 1, 2015
In the summer of 2014, AKC Companion Events held Advisory Committee meetings to review more than
1,200 suggestions from the fancy for the improvement of the sport. After the meetings, a poll was released
to the fancy/judges/clubs/Delegates for a review and vote. As a result of the polling and review by the
staff, the recommendations for change were presented to the AKC Board of Directors for their review in
February/March 2015.
The AKC Board has approved 75 changes/additions to the Obedience Regulations effective December 1,
2015.
To view the regulation changes, please go to: http://www.akc.org/events/obedience/news/obedienceregulation-changes/
The above link will take you to the AKC website where there are three documents posted:
1. Summary List - Identifying the 75 Regulation Changes, effective 12/01/2015.
2. Obedience Regulations & Judges Guidelines Changes – showing the items that were struck from and
added to the regulations.
3. A Table of Contents for the Regulations – identifying the flow of how the new regulation booklet will be
published.
In general, these regulation changes are meant to clarify and bring greater consistency to current judging
practices and event requirements, modify administrative procedures to make events more enjoyable
for participants and represent a balanced attempt to positively impact the sport. In general, these
regulation changes are meant to clarify and bring greater consistency to current judging practices and
event requirements, modify administrative procedures to make events more enjoyable for participants
and represent a balanced attempt to positively impact the sport. Please share this information with the
representatives responsible for the obedience events for your club.
