BSCBAA Board Actions: Your BSCBAA
will be providing a summary of action
taken by the board during its board
meetings held in executive session
(Club bylaws require that board
meetings be held in executive session). The club and the board have
achieved major reform in accountability and transparency and are taking
that a step further by providing a link
in each newsletter to a summary of
action taken by the board. Click here
to read summaries.
Within this newsletter you will find
several items of interest. Each and all
are well worth reading. I am particularly looking forward to reading William Howard’s (DVM, BSCBAA Board
member, Chair Health Committee)
article discussing OFA and PennHip see page 8. Let us know if there are
any subjects of particular interest to
you that you would like to read more
about in the BSCBAA Newsletter.
We are reviewing the BREED STANDARD: It is most important that the
membership has an opportunity to
present their ideas about the Breed
Standard - see page 3 for details.
The Board has voted to create a FaceBook Forum for members only and by
invitation. The details will be submitted to you through an email blast
to join us in positive and healthy conversations concerning our Boykin
Spaniels.
You will find Upcoming Events on
page 9 of this Newsletter or on the
BSCBAA website. We hope to see you
at one or more events. If you live in
the Northeast, check out the Meet the
Breeds in Hartford, Connecticut, Sunday, October 26, 2014, with Boykin
Spaniels presented by Jacquelin DeAngelo, Regina Hairie and other BSCBAA
club members. If you live in Texas,
plan on attending the Howl-o-Ween
Fest in Bridgeland, and the WD/WDX
Certification in Hempstead, Texas.
And if you have not started, begin
training now in preparation for the
annual BSCBAA Hunt Test to be held
at Cooper-Black Wood Duck Pond in
Cheraw, South Carolina, February 28/
March 1st, 2015. I say begin now because I find myself and my Boykins
way behind in training for hunt tests

*IMPORTANT!* BOYKIN SPANIEL BREED STANDARD UNDER REVIEW!
We are reviewing the Breed Standard. It is most important that YOU present your ideas about the Breed
Standard. Please forward your recommendations to contact@TheBoykinSpanielClub.Com or Breed Standard
Comments, BSCBAA, P.O. Box 781, Cypress, TX 77410 prior to November 3, 2014.
AKC Parent Clubs manage the breed standard for their respective breeds. Breed standards are allowed to be
updated no more often than every five years. The Boykin Spaniel Breed Standard was approved in February
2007. You may recall we first began taking a look at updating the Boykin Spaniel Breed Standard and requesting comments/changes in 2012.
We are again reviewing and requesting your input. Hence, we have begun taking a good look at the Boykin
Spaniel Breed Standard with the intention of providing the AKC with an update. Such an update is not to be
taken lightly nor is it a trivial matter. In accordance with the bylaws of both the AKC and the BSCBAA, an update will require the BSCBAA board approval, BSCBAA membership approval and AKC Board approval. The
Breed Standard for the Boykin Spaniel is managed by the Breed Standard Sub-Committee, which is part of the
Education and Standard Committee, and consists of the following members: Chair Butch Norckauer – AL,
Greg Copeland – TX, Pat Watts – SC, Ginger Hurley – TX, Carole Thomas – SC and Rose Leale – TX.
The BSCBAA board has asked that the sub-committee collect recommended changes and prepare a consolidated recommendation. In accordance with their procedures, the AKC has been notified of our intent to review the standard. We have extended our request for membership input in hopes that more members will
participate in this important endeavor. From now through November 3, 2014, the sub-committee is collecting recommended changes to the 2007 breed standard.
Please prepare your recommendations in the form of a suggested addition, deletion or change referenced to
the current paragraph(s) or section(s) being specific as possible, e.g., to the word, phrase or sentence; recommend a specific change, addition or deletion; and provide brief yet concise rationale for the recommendation. General, non-specific comments without rationale, e.g., ‘The whiskers should not be trimmed’, may not
get the desired attention so please explain the reasoning and justification for suggested changes. In seeking
AKC approval of any proposed change, explanation, justification and reasoning is required to be submitted to
the AKC.
Forward your recommendations to contact@TheBoykinSpanielClub.Com or Breed Standard Comments,
BSCBAA, P.O. Box 781, Cypress, TX 77410. To assure that each recommendation gets proper consideration, submissions will be acknowledged and may be shared beyond the sub-committee.
Copies of the breed standard can be found at http://theboykinspanielclub.com/FinalBreed_Standard_Flyer_1-10.pdf and at http://www.akc.org/breeds/boykin_spaniel/breed_standard.cfm .
We look forward to receiving your recommendations and keeping you updated on the sub-committee's progress.
Thank you.

The BSCBAA and twenty-one (21)
present and former board members, committee persons and/or
officers were sued by former members of the Club on May 23, 2013 in
Lexington County, South Carolina.
Your Club and each defendant
moved quickly to defend against
the allegations, which are considered baseless. The Club and most
defendants moved to dismiss the
complaint. Nearly all individual defendants were subsequently dismissed without the need for court
involvement. The Club and one other defendant remain in the suit.
Your Club continues to vigorously
defend against the plaintiffs’ claims
and prosecute its counterclaims
against the plaintiff. An unsolicited settlement offer from the
plaintiffs was received by your
club Monday, October 28,

Several years have passed since that one encounter on the
river with the Boykin Spaniel and it had come time for me to
seek a new companion. The encounter with that Boykin Spaniel had always stuck with me. I began my research and seeking
out information on Boykin Spaniels. I was fortunate to have
the opportunity to meet with a nearby Boykin Spaniel breeder
at the Texas Trace Ranch & Kennel. The Copeland family spent
several hours introducing me to the Boykin Spaniel breed. We
discussed everything about Boykin Spaniel history, proper care,
training, attributes, characteristics, instincts and abilities. After
spending time with several Boykins, it was easy to recognize
how much of a well-rounded companion and bird dog they are.
I was convinced the

reaction is; I never heard
of them nor ever seen
one. I now answer with first hand knowledge in explaining the characteristics, intelligence, energy, eagerness and history of the Boykin
Spaniel. Texas Trace Kennels continues to be a part of Ranger’s life
with providing advice and help with his care. The experiences I have
shared with Ranger as a companion has provided me with much
appreciation for him and the Boykin Breed. I look forward to sharing
many more adventures with Ranger in the future as he surprises me
with his intelligence and confidence every day!

OFA vs PennHIP written by Dr. Bill Howard
The goal of any responsible Boykin Spaniel breeder is to reduce the incidence of hip dysplasia in their blood lines. For now, there are two ways to diagnose hip dysplasia in dogs.
The older standard was established in 1966 by the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals
(OFA). The newer standard, known as PennHIP, was established in 1993 by the University
of Pennsylvania.
The OFA system rates a dog’s hip joint on a seven point scoring system and is judged by
three independent radiologists. The scoring system is as follows (1) Excellent, (2) Good, (3)
Fair, (4) Borderline, (5) Mild, (6) Moderate and (7) Severe. OFA Radiologists judge how well
the femoral head sets in the acetabulum, the shape and size of the femoral head and the
shape and depth of the acetabulum. Each breed is judged against others of the same breed
to establish a standard. A dog must be two years of age or older for a certified result. Preliminary films can be done earlier than two years but the grading is done by only one radiologist. If a radiograph is taken that shows dysplastic hips, that radiograph does not have
to be send to the OFA. With the OFA procedure, some dogs are sedated and others may
require general anesthesia.
Unlike the OFA test, which only requires one radiograph, the PennHIP test requires three
radiographs and the veterinarian must be certified. PennHIP does require general anesthesia. The PennHIP system measures the laxity of the hip joint and can be done as early as
sixteen weeks. A score between “0-1” is assigned with “0” being tight hips and “1” being
loose hips. This method is not a pass or fail test, but an actual measurement of the hip
Distraction Index (DI). The distraction index is based on the percent out of joint the femoral head is displaced from the acetabulum. A DI of .15 is 15% distracted (which is a tight
hip) and 0.8 is 80% distracted (which are very loose hips). The measurements are made
using a circular gauge that is paced over the films. A DI of < 0.30 is usually considered nonosteoarthritic susceptible and a DI of > .30 is considered osteoarthritic susceptible. All radiographs taken must be sent to PennHIP for evaluation. Each breed is compared with others of that breed that are ranked within the breed. A ranking of 70% means that the dog is
better than 70% of that breed.
Which test is the best? For now, the gold standard is the OFA method. Recent research
has shown that OFA is not a more accurate indicator of a dog’s susceptibility to osteoarthritis as compared to PennHip. Until genetic markers are found that relate to hip dysplasia,
the controversy will continue.
Advantages to OFA are: 1) Does not require general anesthesia, 2) Radiographs do not
have to be sent in for evaluation, 3) Less expensive to perform, 4) Most veterinarians can
perform and 5) Most people understand grading methods. Disadvantages to OFA are: 1)
Have to wait until two years old to be certified and 2) Allows breeders to pick and choose
which dog gets certified since radiographs do not have to be sent in for evaluation.
Advantages to PennHIP are: 1) Early evaluation (16 weeks), 2) A true laxity of the hip joint,
3) Better indicator of a dog’s susceptibility to osteoarthritis and 4) More accurate evaluation of the breed can be established since all radiographs have to be sent in. Disadvantages
to PennHIP are: 1) Takes general anesthesia, 2) Requires veterinarian certification, 3) More
expensive and 4) Most people have not accepted the method.
On a personal note, my female Boykin had PennHIP evaluation at 22 weeks of age. Her DI
for the left hip was 0.60 and the right hip was 0.61. She was scored in the 65th percentile.
That means she is better than 65 percent in the Boykin breed, but 35 percent of the breed
has better hips than she does. The mean for the Boykin breed 0.65, which could be interpreted to mean that the Boykin breed is susceptible to osteoarthritis. Her sire was OFA
excellent and her dam was OFA good. At two years of age, she was rated a good OFA. I
used the PennHIP to decide whether I wanted to put her in hunt training. I do not think one
system is necessarily better, but the PennHIP does allow earlier decisions about the dogs’
future. For more information on PennHIP click here and more information OFA click here.

“Which one do I choose? “ Pumpkin Patch for Inde, Owner, Marcus McClamrock
Keeping Your Dog Safe this Halloween
The American Kennel Club, Inc.
Thinking about showing off your dog's "Howloween" spirit this year? The real trick is
not to treat Halloween as just another day for your dog. The AKC reminds owners to
follow certain guidelines for keeping pets safe during Halloween:
If you are interested in saving a
Boykin, visit the Boykin Spaniel
Rescue - link is below:
www.boykinspanielrescue.org/
Or email ad-
min@boykinspanielrescue.org
If you choose to dress your pet up in a "doggie" costume, supervise him at all times.
Make sure it fits properly and is not in the way of his breathing, eyesight or hearing. If
your dog swallows any elastic or decorative items, it could cause intestinal obstructions or choking. For more tips on how
to acclimate your dog to wearing a Halloween costume visit the Ask AKC archive.
Chocolate and sweets can be dangerous for your dog. Make sure all "people treats" are out of harm's way.
Walk your dog early, while it is still light outside, so you can be aware of any candy, wrappers or broken eggs on lawns and
streets and make sure these "tempting treats" stay out of reach.
When you answer the door for trick-or-treaters, make sure pets are in a safe and secure room to prevent them from running out, getting hurt and frightening your visitors. If you want your dog to greet the visiting ghouls and goblins, keep him
on a leash.
Don't leave your dog unattended outside. Pranksters may target your dog with eggs, and passersby may be tempted to
give your dog harmful treats and candy.
If you are having a Halloween party, consider confining your dog securely in one area of the house. Leave a radio or TV
and lights on for the dog.
Be careful about where you place candles and Jack-o-Lanterns. They can easily be knocked over by your dog's wagging tail
and either burn your dog or start a fire.

GOVERNMENT RELATIONS AND LEGISLATIVE ALERTS

The latest alerts for October were several in New Jersey. Assembly Bill 201,
Assembly Bill 1023, Assembly Bill 2961/Senate Bill 1341, Assembly Bill 3381
and Assembly Bill 3502. Please click here to view the Bills.

AKC Government Relations reports that the Pasadena City Council conducted
a first reading of an ordinance to require the sterilization of all dogs and cats
within the city limits. Limited exemptions will be provided. However, even
with those exemptions, ANY dog that is impounded for ANY reason will be
sterilized before being released, even if the owner has a valid intact dog license and even for a first offense. Further, in order to breed a dog an owner
must be in compliance with existing provisions for “dog kennels” which prohibits dog kennels within 1000 feet of any dwelling other than the owner’s
home. It is likely this would have the effect of completely prohibiting breeding for all but the largest landowners in Pasadena. It is vital that responsible
dog owners and breeders oppose this burdensome ordinance. Contact information is available at the bottom of this alert.
Pasadena City Council Meeting
Date: Monday October 6, 2014
Time: 6:30 PM
Location: Council Chamber, Pasadena City Hall
100 North Garfield Avenue Room S249
