Dear BSCBAA Members,
As I write this, I glance out the window to see leaves turning
colors and the change of the season upon us. It is that time
of year when many of us enjoy our little brown dogs as they
work in the fields retrieving and upland game hunting. It
brings joy as I watch them work with such enthusiasm and
heart. I have made plans this week for a duck hunting adventure in North Dakota with some Toller dog friends. I am sure,
the Boykin Spaniel will show the Tollers how it is supposed to
be done.
Since my last letter several Club activities have occurred with
much success and more activities are in the

far away as California. There

Shows in Houston, TX hosted
by several club members and
the other one was at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City led by
club member, Jackie DeAngelo. All events were attributed
with great accomplishment
and great turn out.

THE SHOW RING IS THE SECOND SPORT
ISSUE 07 October, 2012
By Ginger Hurley
If you told me a few years ago that I would be showing and handling my Boykins in the show ring, I would
have said “you’re crazy”; “not in this life time” or “whatcha been smokin”, but I would have never said
“yes”, “maybe” or that I would even think about it as an option. But, sure enough here I am and loving
every minute of it.
The first sport for me and our Boykin Spaniels is hunting. I love it and they love it. In fact, I hunt because of
I have Boykins. For the hunting Boykin it requires skill, athleticism, intelligence, discipline and of course the
payoff is reaping the spoils. As a former athlete myself, these are all the things I love. Also, to see and experience the joy that emulates from the dogs is nothing short of spectacular. Ever since I was introduced
to the little brown dog about 15 years ago, I knew that they were meant for hunting, working, agility but
never for prancing around a show ring.
We enjoy our Boykins not only with hunting but also in dock diving, agility and we have even tried rally.
The Boykin Spaniel can do and be whatever you want them to do or be. They are that GREAT! I always believe in the fact that the Boykin breed is so lovable and yet so smart they need a job in order to feel satisfied or complete. This is where I was going wrong in my thought process and thinking that the show ring
was not a job and required no ability or energy or any of the things that I enjoy. All the miss-guided perceptions I had about the show ring have proven to be false. Surprisingly enough, I have experienced the
show ring to be very much a challenge while providing lots of suspense and many little surprises along the
way. This athlete as well as my little brown dogs have learned that it does in deed require skill, athleticism,
intelligence and especially discipline. There are a few more elements that I have found to be true of performance in the show ring: one—the sharing and camaraderie of new friends and two—which is the most
exciting to me is the competitiveness and thrill of success achieved through hard work.
The show ring provides my Boykins with another avenue to pursue during the offseason of bird hunting. It
keeps them focused and trained. It also gets very hot in Southeast Texas and the shows can give a little air
conditioning pleasure during those scorching, hot days. I have several Boykins that get very excited when
they know we are getting ready for a show. They experience the thrill and they love all the attention they
receive. It provides special moments and endearing times for me and my Boykins. No, the show ring is not
the first choice for me but it has grown to be close as it comes in second as my choice of a sports with my
Boykins.

AKC QUICK TIPS
Helpful Tips
American Kennel Club Offers Tips to Keep Your Dog Safe and Happy This Holiday Season
While it’s easy for us to enjoy household parties with friends and relatives, holidays
are a special time of the year filled with many surprises. Oftentimes we forget about
our little four-legged family members during the excitement and festivities. The
American Kennel Club® (AKC) offers the following tips to keep your furry friends safe
among the hustle and bustle this holiday season.
Daily routines tend to change during the holidays. Maintain a feeding and walking
schedule as close to your dog’s normal routine as possible.
If you are interested in saving a
Boykin, visit the Boykin Spaniel
Rescue - link is below:
http://www.boykinrescue.org/bsr/
Avoid feeding your dog table-scraps and sweets. Chocolate contains harmful, and
sometimes fatal, chemicals to canines. Poultry bones can splinter and cause intestinal blockages.
Avoid decorations with popcorn or cranberry strands or tinsel and glass ornaments. Keep small decorations out of your
dog’s reach.
When decorating with holiday lights, remember that exposed indoor or outdoor wiring could electrocute a curious canine that chews on it. Tape wires to the wall or sides of the house.
Real Christmas trees pose numerous threats to dogs, so consider an artificial tree. If you do buy a natural tree then
make sure your dog doesn’t swallow the pine needles. Dogs also find the tree water tempting, so be sure to use petfriendly preservatives in the water.
Plants such as poinsettias, holly and mistletoe can be poisonous to pets and should be kept out of reach.
Dispose of all wrapping paper, bows and ribbons as soon as presents are opened.
Resist the urge to give your favorite dog lover a cute, cuddly puppy during the gift-giving season. Puppies are a lifetime
responsibility requiring exercise, training, veterinary care and – most importantly – love and attention. Instead, consider
gift wrapping dog toys or supplies such as a leash or food bowl to symbolize the gift of a dog to come.
Additional tips on how to keep your dog safe during the holidays can be found on the AKC Website at www.akc.org.

AKC National Owner-Handler Series Inaugural
End-of-Year Competition Slated for December 2013
The inaugural AKC National Owner-Handler Series (NOHS) end-of-year competition will be held in conjunction with the 2013 AKC/Eukanuba National Championship in Orlando, Florida. The competition will be open to the top owner-handled dogs from two qualifying periods. Dogs that finish
ranked in the top ten (plus ties) for their breed for the 2012 or 2013 qualifying years will be invited to compete in the competition.
“AKC created the AKC National Owner-Handler Series as a pilot program in January to celebrate the dedication and enthusiasm of our ownerhandler exhibitors, and we’re very pleased with the support the program has gotten since it was opened to every All-Breed club this spring,” said
AKC Director of Event Operations Bobby Birdsong. “Since the Series has existed for less than a full year, we’ve scheduled the year-end event for
December 2013 to allow exhibitors extra chances for competition and time to qualify.”
The qualifying period for the 2012 qualifying year is January 1, 2012 through October 10, 2012. The qualifying period for the 2013 qualifying year
will be October 11, 2012 through October 9, 2013.
Rankings are compiled based on the AKC Owner-Handler Series Point Schedule for Best of Breed, Group and Best in Show placements. The rankings are available on the AKC website. Once the results from the 2012 qualifying year have been processed, AKC will recognize the top 2012 dogs
on a new webpage. To learn more about the AKC National Owner-Handler Series please visit our website.
All dog lovers invited! Come enjoy the 12th Annual AKC/Eukanuba National Championship, returning to Orlando, Florida on December 15-16,

Election 2012: A Single Vote Could Determine the Future of
Dogs in Your Community
Election Day 2012 is November 6. The President, all 435 members of the US House
of Representatives, 33 of the 100 US Senators, 11 state governors, and approximately 6,015 state legislators will be elected on this date. Thousands more will be
elected to city, county and municipal offices. These elected officials will have tremendous influence on the direction of animal laws during their terms. Therefore, it
is essential for all responsible dog owners, exhibitors, and breeders to be informed
and active during the campaign season and to vote.
AKC Government Relations (AKC GR) provides a flyer with this message for distribution at club meetings, dog shows, and anywhere dog lovers gather. Simply stated,
this election day your right to own and breed a dog could hang in the balance. AKC
GR's one-page printable flyer emphasizes this message and the importance of supporting dog and breeder-friendly candidates in the upcoming elections.
In addition to distributing the flyer, there are other steps you can take over the
next several days to support the election of candidates who respect the rights of
dog owners and breeders. An important first step is to research candidates' views
on canine legislation. Click here to review "Ideas for Identifying and Supporting Dog
Friendly Candidates" from the July 2012 issue of Taking Command. Share what you
learn about candidates with your colleagues, club members, and fellow dog owners
so they also can make informed choices at the ballot box.
Although dog issues are not a common part of a candidate's campaign platform;
once elected, policymakers will likely encounter these issues. Please refer to the
AKC GR Toolbox for printable resources to help educate candidates and elected
officials about the value and importance of supporting responsible dog ownership,
breeding, and exhibition.
REMINDERS
Volunteers are needed for committees. In coming months, the
BSCBAA will be supporting Meet

Supported Entries, get involved

and exercise your right to vote.
