President’s Message
Plans are full steam ahead for the 75th Anniversary Show of our club. The enthusiasm has spread around the
world as every day we hear of more and more Pointer fanciers from all parts of the world planning to come
and help us celebrate. One of the events will be a 75th Party and all are invited to participate. To enable us to
do all of the extra activities, we have some fundraising items, such as the 75th Anniversary tapestry throws
and also the calendar. These can be seen on our website. These items are limited in number and once gone,
will not be reordered, so don’t procrastinate if you are interested.
The 2014 National will be held at Purina Farms the week of April 7th. We are in need of committee chairs
for conformation, agility, obedience, hospitality, chief ring steward, ribbons, state baskets, specialty items
and vendors. Please, if you want to get involved, this is a perfect opportunity. Most of these committees do
not require that you be local. Purina has all of the equipment for obedience and rally. I was just at the Event
Center this past weekend and was very impressed with the indoor facility. The flooring is cushioned so no
mats are needed. It would be fine for obedience jumps and agility. I hope that while we are there in 2014,
you take the time and visit the facility. There will be a specialty in the building at the same time as our national.
The APC is participating in the Meet the Breeds at both the Javits Center in NYC on October 20th & 21st as
well as at the AKC Eukanuba Show in Orlando on Dec. 15th & 16th. These events are very popular with the
public and an excellent opportunity to educate them about our breed. If you are interested in participating,
please contact Patty Lillesand, our Public Education Chair.
Your Board is working on improving the communication with our members. Susie Kissik is working on developing a Yahoo Group for members and you will be hearing more about this in the near future. It will be a
means of announcing upcoming events as well as other pertinent information.
Fall is here and that means the National Championship in Fort Robinson State Park in Nebraska the end of
September as well as field trials and hunt tests around the country. For those in the northeast, the Pointer
Club of Central NJ holds a Fun Field Day every year. The date this year is November 3rd. Dogs are introduced to quail. It is very rewarding to see pups react to the live birds. If you are interested in coming, please
contact Karen Spey as birds need to be preordered. Hopefully many of us will get our dogs out to these
events as this is what they love the most!

MISSION STATEMENT:
In acknowledgement of the versatility of the Pointer and of the dedication of Pointer owners, the APC desires to recognize the Pointers who can, and
happily do, compete in multiple venues. The APC Multi Venue Pointer (“MVP”) Program is designed to acknowledge the versatility of Pointers
specifically at the APC National Specialty. The primary goal of the MVP Program is to highlight and encourage the participation of Pointers in multiple
venues. The MVP Program also rewards those dogs who excel with wins or qualifying scores in multiple venues. The venues offered at each National
Specialty include conformation, hunt tests, field trials, obedience, rally and agility. All Pointers entered and competing in two or more venues at the APC
National Specialty are eligible to participate in the APC MVP program.

decided to try this breeding again.
The repeat breeding has produced five puppies (2 liver & whites, 2 black & whites, and 1 orange &

Does “Buck” Make a Pretty Picture of a Liver Colored Pointer?
PROUD HERITAGE
By Karen Blasche, APC Historian
As we approach the 75th anniversary of the American Pointer Club, I’d like to take a minute to
share some information about the history in our club’s archives and its value as a resource.
In two previous POINTER POINTS (Summer & Fall 2011) I mentioned our special project of naming
and finding photographs of ALL of the BOB and BOS winners of our (National) Specialties and issued
a plea to help find the missing information. The “modern” era was easy as our club archives contains
the official photographs and catalogs from all of the Nationals since 1989. Previous to that we have
occasional photos, catalogs and yearbooks, plus many of the dog magazine/newspaper pictures. The
Gazette write-ups of our Specialties throughout most of the 1960s through 80’s were thanks to Beryl
Hirschberger’s interesting breed columns. These items weren’t always miraculously here, they were
saved or found and donated by generous members over the years. Thank you.
Since the last request for specifically needed info and pictures, I’m happy to report that we now have
discovered ALL of the names, dates, places and judges of the Specialties and the respective BOB and
BOS winners. What a coup! AND we have pictures of ALL of the BOB winners even though some
were not taken at their actual Specialty. Doesn’t matter. We have them for the historical record and
you can actually enjoy looking at them throughout 2013 and ever after because they all appear in our
75th Anniversary Calendar designed by project coordinator Susan Bleckley! This is a limited edition of
150 and with all of the interest from overseas in our big celebration, these will become instant
collector’s items! Get yours (and a great gift or two) now – the information is elsewhere in this issue.
This will be my final opportunity to put out a call for the specific photographs of the only BOS bitches
we are still missing:
1944 – Lindisfarne Night Flower
1946 – Cherokee Token
1954 & ‘55 – Ch. Silvermine Chocolate Sauce
1959 – Plumb Hill Design
1967 – Woodcock Sprite
1968 – Kenmure’s Glad Rags
1975 – Truewithem Black Magic
1977 – Ch. Shandown’s Santiago Sue
Thanks this time around to Judy Colan, Wayne Cavanaugh, Karin Ashe, Sue Whaley, Erica Bandes,
Blanche Del Deo via Karen Spey, Susan Bleckley, again to Nancy Tuthill and to Craig Savino, the
AKC Archivist for their help in providing scans/pictures and information towards “the cause” and
apologies to anyone I’ve overlooked. Please send any information to me c/o blaschet@aol.com.

Agility—The Power of Two
The Story of Skeets & Chris
By Hera & COZ, OceanWolf Agility
R
ub-a-dub-dub, three careers in a tub. A ballerina, an agility
judge and a championship maker, Chris Dewey has been
all of these. Her ballerina days are behind her, as she has
been an American Kennel Club (AKC) agility judge for more than
10 years, and she definitely is a maker of an agility champion—
Master Agility Champion Skeets.
Skeets’s agility career almost didn’t happen. A couple of years
ago, Chris, who frequently flies around the country for judging
assignments, was on her way to the Midwest. She had been approached by Illinois Bird Dog Rescue to rescue one of a litter of 15
puppies they had taken in. Chris had recently lost Max, another
rescued Pointer, and was not ready for
another dog, but thought it wouldn’t
hurt to meet the puppy. Well, all it
took was just one look, and this little
pointer was on his way to sunny
Florida.
Years before she met her new rescued puppy, Chris had been watching
the Crufts Dog Show on television and
saw a demonstration of a new sport
called agility. Very little agility was
done in the United States before the
American Kennel Club (AKC)-spon-
man Shepherd Dog
Nationals.
In 1999 Chris
attended the AKC’s
Judging School and,
soon after, began officiating competitions
locally and across the
country.
Now the stage was
Hera, COZ and Kai of OceanWolf Agility
set for Chris’s latest
rescue, the little pointer puppy, who she named “R U Gunnarunnamok Skeets” or just Skeets for short. Skeets was born at the exact minute that Max had passed away.
It seemed fated that Chris and Skeets
should be together.
His achievements in agility certainly
warrant attention. Skeets earned the
AKC’s Master Agility Championship
(MACH) title on November 5, 2011. He
has qualified for four AKC Invitational
Tournaments and two AKC National
Championship Tournaments. In December of 2011, he competed at the
AKC Invitational in Orlando, Florida.

sored events in the
mid-1990s. Around
that time, Chris
began training her
German Shepherd Dog (GSD), Penny, to do agility. Unfortunately,
cancer took Penny before she could begin competing.
The mantle was passed to Chris’s second dog, Max, who began
competing in 1997. Max had come to North Shore Animal League
in Massachusetts from a group called Paws Across America that
transports rescued dogs
to various dog rescue
organizations. Chris
then rescued another
GSD that had been badly abused and named
her China, who went
on to earn Excellentlevel titles in agility and
was a two-time High
Scoring Dog at the Ger-

Superdog”—

that Have Become
Heroes in Agility

each breed to compete
annually.
A happy consequence of all his agility
achievements is that Skeets is helping other Bird Dogs in rescue.
Every time Skeets earns two qualifying runs on the same day,
also known as a Double Q, Chris sends $10.00 to Illinois Bird Dog
Rescue.
Chris says Skeets is a perfect fit for her personality and lifestyle.
As an AKC judge, she is frequently away from home, and Skeets is
happy to charm his temporary caretakers.
Chris and Skeets can be counted on as good sports. Even when a
run doesn’t go as planned, Chris is quick with a comical remark as
Skeets runs amok, leaping for joy, as the pair dance their ballet of
agility.

K9 Nose Work – by Sue Welch –Jaderiver Pointers
In 2006, Ron Gaunt, Amy Herot and Jill O’Brien, 3 people that are professional dog trainers and handlers developed a program to
make scent work available to ALL dogs and the owners in a new fun sport that would use the dog’s innate ability to use their
noses to source certain odors. They started the National Association of Canine Scent Work ( NACSW) which now boasts 2,000
members and 3,000 dogs living in 42 US States and 3 Canadian Provinces. Like all dog sports there are titles and judges and of
course rules when conducting tests. As always I was looking for an easy dog sport to do with my Pointers and thought this might
be it! Wrong! But oh so much fun!!!!
What is involved in training you might ask. During introduction to Nose Work the handlers focus on building their dog’s drive to
hunt by putting a high-value treat or toy in one box among may other boxes spread around a room. When the dog finds the targeted box, the dog is rewarded many times with food right inside the box. As the dog grasps the “find the rabbit in hole game”
more and more challenges are presented such as, treats are hidden under the flaps, boxes are placed on top of the targeted box,
the box could be upended, the box could be elevated. Simple things like opening a door or window or turning on a fan can move
odor around a room. As the game gets more and more exciting to the dog distractions are added like toys, objects of various sizes
and shapes, luggage etc. Not only is the dog learning to hunt the handler is learning dog behaviour and how to read the dog when
on odor and change of any behaviour the dog does and clues when the dog does when on the “scent cones” and the dog learns
many skills on how to locate the odor and “go to the source” with the subtle body changes of the dog and the different sniffing.
All dogs are different and this training is all about dogs learning skills at their own pace and there are NEVER any corrections of
any kind, so all dogs succeed.
When odor is introduced, it is first paired with high value treats and the same scenarios are presented as with the start of box
work. Easy finds gradually introducing distractions and puzzles for the dog. Now is the time for teaching “odor obedience” and to
get that, success is always important. The first odor used is an essential oil called Birch. It is important to use the one Birch odor
recommended, there are a few. The second is another essential oil called Anise and the third odor is an essential oil Clove. They
odors are made up with a few drops in a glass jar and with Q –tips. I did get paper Q-tips because my dogs will eat them when
they have access to them in a search and paper just goes right through them! I do train with all 3 odors because it gives them variety and some dogs like some odors better than others but you only need to train Birch for a Nose Work 1 trial.
The beauty of this sport is that it can be done anywhere with minimum equipment, boxes and weird containers can be found anywhere and will fit in the car. You learn all about scent because you never know what it will do, it may pool in a corner or drift up
a wall or along a wall or tent leg, you never know what it will do and it could change every minute with outside searches or even
indoors with a door opening unexpectedly. The handler will learn to trust the dog and let him work the scent until he locates the
“hide” and communicates the location to the handler. There are only a couple of things to teach the dog that involves pattern
training so it really is different than rally and obedience. And pattern training is only once the dog has some “odor obedience”. It
is great for the retired dogs and the dogs that need confidence for other sports and gives them the mental and physical stimulation
all Pointers need. After practising I notice my dogs are really, really tired!
The saying heard most often from teachers and judges are “trust the
dog” and you will hear it over and over again!
For those handlers that want to trial and of course get TITLES! There
are 3 levels of trialing. Before the dog can enter a trail it must pass an
Odor Recognition Test (ORT), there are 12 closed boxes in 2 rows and
the dog must indicate which box the odor is in within 3 minutes. It is a
pass or fail test and no score is given. To enter NW 1 trial you must pass
a Birch ORT and to enter a NW 2 trial you must pass an Anise ORT and
to enter a NW 3 trial you must pass a Clove ORT. The ORT’s are similarly set up like the test before entering a Tracking Test, to see if the dog
is ready and knows what the odors are.

Judging the Pointer
By Marjorie Martorella
Reprint from April issue of Show Sight Magazine
The Pointer is one of the first breeds exhibited here in the United States. It is also a breed that has been depicted
through the centuries by artists. It is interesting to note that many of the dogs immortalized by the masters such as
George Earl, his daughter Maud Earl, Thomas Blinks, Leon Danchin, Richard Fath and Marguerite Kirmse to
name a few are not very different from the modern day Pointer.
When you enter the ring, you will see a class of Pointers of different colors and coat patterns. This is the icing on
the cake for it is what lays underneath that makes a good Pointer. Color and markings should have no bearing on
your decision.
In the General Appearance section of the Pointer Standard, terms like bred primarily for sport afield; impression
of compact power and agile grace and hard-driving hunting dog are used. In evaluating the Pointer, one must
keep in mind the purpose of the breed. Our dogs should have outgoing temperaments and be in excellent muscular
condition so they can perform the duties for which they are bred.
For many years, the Pointer has been described as a head breed. There is no doubt that the correct Pointer head is
the hallmark of the breed and distinguishes it from other breeds. I do feel that as a judge or a breeder, to put all of
your emphasis on the head and neglect the traits that make our dogs capable of hunting all day is a disservice to
the breed. That being said, the Pointer’s head is very well chiseled. The planes of the skull and muzzle can be
either parallel or dished. The standard calls for the muzzle to give the impression of length. The nostrils are wide
open to enable scenting ability. The eyes are of ample size, rounded and intense. An oval eye is incorrect in the
Pointer and detracts from the expression. The eye color should be dark in contrast with the coat color. The ear
leather is so fine that the veins are evident. They are also short and when relaxed reach just below the lower jaw.
They should be pointed at the tip and never
rounded as in a scent hound.
The outline of the Pointer is a series of gentle
curves from the neck blending into smooth laid
back shoulders. The correct topline has subtle
curves from the head to tail. There is a slight
rise over the loin and a gently sloping croup.
The underline is also an integral component of
the outline, the tuck up being a gentle curve, not
exaggerated or straight both of which would be
hound characteristics. The Pointer’s silhouette
should show a well balanced dog devoid of
exaggerations such as an extreme sloping topline
or a very high tail carriage. The Pointer should
also never appear low in leg. These do not
present the correct outline for the Pointer.
From the APC Illustrated Standard
The Pointer’s chest is deep rather than wide and the breastbone is bold, but not unduly prominent. The bone of the
Pointer is oval in shape. It should neither be too refined or too heavy as both would hinder the agility and
endurance of the breed. The feet are oval with well arched toes and deep pads which are needed for speed and
agility.
Our standard calls for muscular and powerful hindquarters. When one examines a Pointer, well defined
musculature should be apparent. It is the strong hindquarter that propels the Pointer in the field. Decided
angulation is required in the breed standard.
The purists in the breed will tell you that the two most important physical characteristics of the Pointer are the
head and the tail. The correct Pointer tail is thicker at the base and tapers to a fine point. Never docked, the
tail should not reach below the hock in length. It should be carried straight without curl and lash from
26
side to side when moving. The tail can be either carried
straight off the back or as high as 20 degrees above the back.
The Pointer should never carry its tail between its legs.
People in the breed often refer to the ideal Pointer tail as a
“bee sting” tail. It is an extremely short tapered tail and is
carried perfectly straight and lashes from side to side when
the dog is in motion. One would never see the need to measure this tail as it would fall well short of the hock.
William Arkwright in 1906 wrote in his The Pointer and His
Predecessors that “while the head is the hallmark of the
breed, for the certificate of blue blood apply at the other
end.” It was at the turn of the last century in the development
From the APC Illustrated Standard
of the breed in England that Pointers were crossed with Foxhounds and Greyhounds. Mr. Arkwright was very vocal in his opposition to the crosses. He felt that the tail was
an indicator of hound crosses. He had good reason to be concerned as to this day we can see several hound characteristics in our breed: lack of stop, round bone, cat feet, exaggerated tuck-up, lack of tuck up and skirting, long
ropy tails devoid of tapering, sickle tails, long ears with rounded tips, flat croups and also steep croups. Any
hound characteristic is wrong in the Pointer and should be penalized.
A good Pointer’s gait is as much a part of breed type as his head and tail. The gait should be strong and powerful.
The head is held proudly, the tail lashing from side to side. In this country a lot of emphasis is put on movement,
looking for tremendous reach and drive. However, the dog should never lose his outline when moving. The
Pointer should not get longer and lower when moving. The head should not be facing the ground. Wasted motion
such as hackney gait and pounding movement are also faulty.
The Pointer may be black, lemon (flesh colored nose), orange (black pigment) or liver either solid or in
combination with white. The lemon Pointer will have a hazel eye as it is genetically impossible for them to have
a darker eye. Unfortunately, many judges are often confused by this as they look at the lighter eye of our lemons
as a fault.
Our standard does not address the proportions of the breed as it is covered in other standards. It does however
mention compact power and loins of moderate length. Therefore, most Pointer breeders agree that the Pointer is
just off square. The height of the body from the withers to the ground is equal to or slightly less than the length of
the body from the front of the forechest to the rear proportion of the upper
thigh.
I feel that if you keep these points in mind, you will be comfortable judging
the Pointer and will be able to reward the dog that best exemplifies our standard, a Pointer that could go out and do a day’s work in the field and go into
the show ring the next day.

Congratulations to APC’s 2012 Champion of Health
Congratulations to Ch Nowwithem Double Barreled,
CD, RE, JH, AX, AXJ, OF, CGC, TT, “Remi”, the
American Pointer Club’s 2012 Champion of Health!
Remi is owned by Marva Petrequin, Deborah Harper and
Jill Koch. She was nominated at the age of nine, with nine
titles already to her credit, and has continued to “improve
with age”, as she has recently added an Agility Excellent
title before turning ten in mid-May. She is pursuing her
Master Hunter title and participating in field events with a
Dual Championship as the ultimate goal. Remi has qualified for the Multi Venue Pointer(“MVP”) award at each
National Specialty it’s been offered.
Remi and her three offspring have all had hips, eyes,
thyroid and cardiac health clearances, making them a
2-generation CHIC family. In fact, two of Remi’s offspring, “Dillon” and “Fire” were the first two Pointers
ever to receive CHIC numbers. Remi and her kids have
represented “The Pointer” twice at the AKC/Eukanuba
Invitational Meet the Breeds in Long Beach, CA, and have
been outstanding ambassadors for our breed with their
wonderful temperaments.
This annual award was announced at the National Specialty Awards Banquet in Sacramento on April 28, 2012.
The Champion of Health program was implemented in cooperation with OFA and CHIC, to recognize a dog that has had significant accomplishments in the ring, in the field, in
performance events, as a producer, or as a working dog, AND has the full complement of health testing appropriate for
its breed. As the winner, Remi received a framed Certificate, an engraved silver medallion, and the OFA made a $100
donation to the AKC Canine Health Foundation breed specific Donor Advised Fund in her name.
Please join us in congratulating Marva, Deb and Jill on Remi’s Champion of Health award, and on all their wonderful
accomplishments. As Marva noted on her nomination, “Pointers can do it all and Remi does it with her typical “joie de
vivre”. Congrats to all!

Report from the Recording Secretary
Beginning in October, the Club will have a new avenue of communication for the membership. The Board
has established a Yahoo group site, for APC members only. Through this online group we will post
events, files and other Club information. It is open only to the membership and will be moderated by the
Officers of the Club. This group will make email communication more efficient, forms and
documents easily accessible, and event information automatically delivered to members of the group. An
invitation to join this group will be sent directly from the Yahoo group site to each member. Please follow
the instructions provided in the email you receive to complete the process. If you have questions or would
like something posted to the Yahoo group, please contact me.
Later this month I will be mailing ballots for Officer/Board of Director elections. In addition to voting for
the 2013 Board members, there will be two additional items on the ballot. The first is whether the Club
should offer the 4-6 month puppy class at the National Specialty. The entry fee for this class will be the
same as a regular puppy class. The second item is whether the Reserve winners at the National Specialty
should earn a three point major. AKC has approved a new policy to allow points to be awarded to the Reserve winners when there is a sufficient entry. Parent Clubs have the option to allow this at their National
Specialty. Please indicate your preference for this new policy for the National
Specialty on the ballot.

American Kennel Club Delegates Quarterly Meeting
September 10-11, 2012
The September, 2012 AKC Delegates Meeting was held on September 10th-11th, 2012 at the Doubletree by Hilton Hotel in
Newark (Airport), New Jersey. The meeting began with Committee Meetings. The Parent Clubs Committee met at 9 AM on Monday morning, and, as a member of the committee, I was there. The room was packed, as usual. All committee meetings are open to
all Delegates, and our committee meetings are always popular.
The Parent Clubs Committee agenda included numerous topics. Among the more significant were: the Parent Club of
Excellence project, headed by Larry Sorenson. This is to be a self-evaluation for Parent Clubs, with an AKC Award. It is on the
agenda for this months Board meeting. Also, the Three Point Major Reserve at one National Specialty per year, which was going
to a vote on Tuesday. Also, an update on grooming space rentals, which has been a hot issue for all-breed clubs (thank goodness
for drip-dry Pointers). The bottom line is that clubs can rent grooming space as long as they provide an approximately equal
amount of free grooming space. Also, there will be a new Complete Dog Book. The AKC is looking for input from Parent Clubs
on content and illustrations. They need a contact person from each Parent Club. All material is to be submitted by November 16th.
Also Meet the Breeds will be at the Javits Center in NY, October 20 th-21st. Also, when giving judging seminars, a judge may not
judge that weekend. Also, the Canine Good Citizen Award will become a suffix title. This is the most outreaching program of the
AKC, open to all, registered or not with AKC. It is a superb public relations tool. To officially receive the title, the dog must be
registered with AKC or Canine Partners. There will be a charge for the title, and will be retroactive to 2001. Also, we welcomed
back our staff liaison, John Lyons. Also, there will be a Breeders Conference at the Eukanuba show in Florida in December. And
lastly, also, there was a report from Dr. Sheila Nardone, new Chief Scientific Officer of the Canine Health Foundation. The
Foundation funded 1.7 million dollars of research the year as compared to 1.3 million last year. The CHF is suggesting that some
funds from Donor Advised Funds be placed in designated program areas so that there will be some approved funding available as
requests come in, rather than having the research wait while the CHF looks for funding. One of he newly emerging areas of canine
research is the Canine Athlete Initiative, exploring orthopedic concerns of maximizing performance while minimizing injuries, and
exploring rehabilitation techniques.
Monday afternoon, I attended the Canine Health Committee. Topics discussed there included CHIC, Veterinary outreach,
Communicable diseases at Shows, Judge’s examination of bite and dentition, and the Global Health Initiative, both with The
Kennel Club and the FCI. After that, I attended the Delegates’ Caucus.
Tuesday morning at 9 o’clock was the Forum. The topic was “Social Media Made Simple-Three Things You Can Do To Grow
Your Club. The use of Facebook was discussed, with emphasis on the ease of keeping a club’s Facebook page up to date, and the
ease of two way communication.
The official meeting was called to order shortly after 10 AM. The first order of business was election of Committee members.
After handing in our ballots, the usual introductions and announcements were made. President Dennis Sprung called for a moment
of silence for 9/11. He related how the AKC obtained and delivered a portable x-ray unit for use on Search and Rescue dogs at
ground zero, and how DOGNY raised 3.5 million dollars for Search and Rescue animals and teams.
He announced a new title: the Urban Search and Rescue Title. It will be awarded to FEMA certified and deployable and State
certified and deployable dogs on FEMA and State Task Forces. The first such award was given to Juno, an English Springer
Spaniel, owned by Delegate Becky Stanevich.
The new CFO, Peter Farnsworth, reported that to date in 2012 there has been a turnaround in core revenues and they are
beginning to rise, as is the core revenue share of total revenue. Our operating profit is better and our investment portfolio is up
4.9%, as compared with a small loss in 2011.
Finally, we voted on the three amendments which were scheduled for votes. The first vote, Ch.2 Sect 3 of the Rules Applying
to Dog Shows pertaining to territories and the repercussions of not holding a show in the clubs territory for two consecutive years
was sent to the Dog Show Rules Committee for clarification. The second vote, Ch 5, about ribbons, prizes and trophies was a
housekeeping change, to make it consistent with Ch.6. It passed. The final vote, to create a new award of a three-point-major for
Reserve Winners Dog and/or Reserve Winners Bitch at one National Specialty per year providing that the number of dogs is at
least twice the number required for a five-point-major in that dogs sex in that region. The individual Parent Clubs do have the ability to “opt out” of this award. This had been a hotly debated item for months, but it passed overwhelmingly. Your Delegate voted
for the amendment, as instructed by the APC Board.
There was a report on the Presidents Challenge, on initiative to raise money for the AKC PAC. This year there has been a 350%
increase in dog legislation, and the HSUS has a 55 million dollar war chest. We need to raise money with a goal of 100%
participation of members and clubs.
The December 2012 meeting will be in Orlando Florida, December 13 th and 14th, at the Rosen Center Hotel.
Respectfully submitted,
Karen R. Spey, AKC Delegate

From the Editor…..
I’d like to first thank Dawn Backos who recently stepped down as co-editor of Pointer Points with
me. She and I have been working together since the 2010 National Specialty Issue and it hasn’t
always been easy. I am grateful for her dedication, time and energy she put into Pointer Points and
sorry we won’t be working together on this anymore. I know it wasn’t an easy decision and
appreciate all she did while on “staff.”
I’d also like to thank Maggie Platt and Sarah Rogers for volunteering to help me reach out for more
information and results for future issues of the magazine. Having an extra set of hands and eyes is
invaluable for a volunteer endeavor such as Pointer Points. If you come across articles or have a few
hours a quarter you can spare to help out, please contact me at pointerpointseditor@gmail.com.
Finally, leaves are changing colors and the temperatures are dropping, It is time to light the fire on a
crisp evening and gather ‘round. This is my favorite time of year...especially with our wonderful
Pointers. Back in the field doing what they love most. I hope everyone else is enjoying it as much as
I am. I can’t wait to see all the pictures and results from hunt tests and field trials from all over the
world. Don’t forget, the theme for the winter issue of Pointer Points is Field and the deadline for all
submissions is December 10th.
