Winter 09 - The Dachshund Club of America, Inc.

Chairman’s Message
At its January 2009 meeting, the DCA Board appointed the members
of the Performance Events Committee. They are listed at the bottom
of this page along with their contact information.
The field events for DCA 2009 are scheduled for October 11 – 17. A
proposed schedule and judges panels are listed later in this issue.
Region II, which is hosting DCA 2010, has decided on splitting the
field events and the “town” events such as was done in 2008. At this
point, the field events are scheduled for the week of January 10,
2010 while their town events are slated for September. Unfortunately
the 2009 events being held late in the year will mean that there will
be a short interval between the two, unavoidable given the climate of
southern California. Consequently, plans will have to be made for
2010 before 2009 is done … not a bad habit to get in for sure. The
judges’ nomination form for the 2010 field events is included in this
issue of The Voice. Please note that nominations must be received by
April 15. On a positive note, the tracking and field events will be held
at adjacent areas in the same regional park in Chino, and the
earthdog tests are planned only 30 miles away in Anaheim. These
are the same field and earthdog locations used in 2000 and 2004,
and both are near several major airports (Orange County) for those
of you interested in making the trip.
Semantics and terminology overlap can catch and confuse any of us
at any time. In this issue, I’ve submitted an article to (hopefully)
help performance folks wade through the various disciplinary “planes”
that deal with dogs and handlers within the AKC events rules, all of
which are referred to as “disqualifications.” It is truly unfortunate
that the exact same word has been used to designate such diverse
scenarios and radically different consequences. Recent years have

seen several new rules added to both the field trial and earthdog regulations, and just last week a
new report form was added to the mix.
It is especially important for all who judge and serve on committees (especially those who have not
been to an AKC seminar since 2004) to read through and come to understand what is required in
each instance. The more we know, the more consistently and easily we will be able to properly
follow through should a difficult situation arise. The more familiar and confident we become in our
ability to handle any crisis, the sooner we can then go back to enjoying our dogs, our friends and
our sport.
Tally Ho!
Jean
A note from your editor –
You might notice a few differences in this issue.
Some shuffling around, some new formats … but the biggest change is that we will
no longer include a list of upcoming field trials and earthdog tests in The Voice. That
information is readily available through the Event Search feature at the AKC website.
Eliminating those listings will allow us to offer more “original content” and pictures without
fear of maxing out the attachment limitations of the average email server. For example, our
Spring issue will feature an article discussing four of the great field trial events held for
Dachshunds each year: the Annual, the National, the Host Trial, and the Buckeye DC
Invitational. We will explore their history and traditions, their differences and their
similarities.
Suggestions regarding article topics, tips and information for “News You Can Use”, fun
photos, seminar dates, etc. are welcome as always. If you would like to submit an article,
please contact Jean Dieden or me. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the PEC
before publication.
On a final note, many thanks to the field trial secretaries and other “reporters” who provided
me with results throughout the year. Your timely assistance was vital and very much
appreciated. Please keep it up!

DCA 2009
The official DCA 2009 website is now up and running at www.dca2009.com . Check in there
periodically. New information will be added as the events approach.
A schedule of the DCA 2009 field events – complete with contact information, locations and judges
– can be found on Page 8 of The Voice. We have also included a sponsorship form for the
tracking, field and earthdog events. Please note this form does not include the plaques and
medallions which are awarded at the DCA National events (just the host club trial). A sponsorship
form for those items will be available on the DCA website at a later date.
New Board Policy on DCA National Field Trial Judges
During its November meeting, the DCA Board adopted a new standing rule that will prohibit a DCA
National Field Trial judge from “exhibiting” at the trial. In this context, “exhibiting” means dogs
owned or co-owned may not be entered at the National Field Trial. Nor may any National judge
handle a dog at the trial either. DCA National Earthdog judges will not face the same restriction.
This policy change mimics an existing standing rule (adopted in 1999) which states that the “DCA
President and the show chair of the National shall not exhibit at the National.” It will go into
effective in 2010 and is noted on the Judge Nomination form included on Page 11 of The Voice.
Please make sure that potential judges are appraised of this policy and willing to officiate before
nominating them.
DCA 2010 & DCA 2011
The field events for DCA 2010 are slated for the week of January 10th. As occurred in 1998 and
2008, conformation and most of the companion events will be held during a different part of the
year. These “town” events are scheduled for September 27 – October 3, 2010 in Riverside, CA.
The host club, DC of Santa Ana Valley, has already put up a website ( www.dca2010.com ) and
will be adding lots of information to it in the coming months.
In related news, DCA is seeking a host for the 2011 national specialty events. Interested clubs
should contact DCA Secretary Marlies Noll. She can be reached via email at mdachs@aol.com or
by calling (763) 389-4622. The deadline for bids is May 10, 2009.
New DCA List at Yahoogroups
The Dachshund Club of America has launched its own Yahoogroup, DCA_BULLETINBOARD.
This will not be a discussion forum but rather a read-only list where information regarding
WINTER 2008 3 of 35

club activities, events, and resources can be posted. It is anticipated that meeting minutes,
reports, legislative updates and DCA National Specialty premiums will be featured on the new
group. The DCA Board may also use Yahoogroups’ polling function to solicit member input on
various issues.
All DCA members are encouraged to join this new group. You can do so by sending a request to
DCA_BULLETINBOARD-subscribe@yahooogroups.com . Be sure to include your name
somewhere in the email so that DCA membership can be verified.
Questions regarding the new Yahoogroup should be directed to its chief moderator, Marlies Noll.
She can be reached at mdachs@aol.com .
Sunrise / Sunset Information
It is quite helpful to have sunrise and sunset times at your fingertips when planning tracking test
draws, field trial roll calls, and earthdog test start times. This information is equally critical at the
end of your field trial day given Procedure 1-I (“… no Dachshund shall be put down after 30
minutes following official sunset”).
Daily information can often be found in a local newspaper, but what about long range planning? Or
last minute searches?! Where exactly can you find official sunset times for specific days and / or
locations?
Consult The Old Farmer’s Almanac website, www.almanac.com . If you have a BlackBerry or
some other type of smartphone, you might even be able to access the Almanac’s interactive
sunrise / sunset calculator from the field. [Your BlackBerry also makes a decent flashlight, too …
but if you need it to read the call names of the next brace, don’t bother with the Almanac. It is
way past official sunset!]
The direct link for this feature is www.almanac.com/rise/index.php . Just input a location and
a date. You can select the locale by typing in a zip code, selecting from a pull-down list of cities
and towns (a surprisingly large number are available), or even by clicking on a US map. The latter
does not work very well on a smartphone, of course.
If you are into gadgets, there are even some freeware programs out there for BlackBerry and
other PDAs that calculate sunrise and sunset times (plus many other astronomical data). Try
www.crackberry.com or the forums at blackberry.net if you are interested in those. One key
disadvantage of this type of software, however, is that latitude and longitude information is usually
required. (Submitted by Jean Dieden with a few ad-libs and additions from the editor!)
AKC’s New “Dog Disqualification by Judge” Report Form
AKC has developed a separate "Dog Disqualification by Judge" report for use at all performance
events, including Dachshund field trials and earthdog tests.
This form is "effective immediately" even if a copy was not included with your secretary's packet.
You can find the form online in the Downloadable Forms section of the AKC website. [Once on
that page, scroll down to the Performance Judges category.]
WINTER 2008 4 of 35

In the past, dog disqualification reports were written on the back of the secretary's trial / test
report. The new form can only be used to document situations that occur while dogs are under
judgment and must be completed by the judge(s). It is still turned into AKC with the secretary’s
event report, however. For a discussion of this and other DQ procedures, please turn to this
issue’s Voice Forum on Page 14. (Submitted by Jean Dieden)
AKC Earthdog Seminar & Training Weekend in Illinois
On May 23 rd and 24 th , Badger DC will sponsor a two-day earthdog seminar at the Northern Illinois
Beagle Club in Roscoe. The first day will be devoted to the AKC seminar and judges test. That
presentation will be handled by AKC Field Representative Barbara Teigen. The second day will be
devoted to hands-on training sessions led by AKC earthdog judge M.A. Klein. Actual ME runs will
be conducted, to be followed by discussions on den design & construction, the ME walkup,
honoring, and control.
The seminar fee is $50. That price includes dinner on both days. The program will begin at 1:30
pm Saturday and Sunday. Presentations are scheduled until 8 pm both days. Contact MA Klein at
maklein@iowalink.net for more information.
Special Logo Celebrating AKC’s 125 th Anniversary
AKC has created a special commemorative logo that clubs may use any place
an AKC logo would normally be inserted. This graphic is for 2009 events only.
A high resolution copy of the logo can be requested by contacting AKC Communications at (212)
696-8308 or by emailing communications@akc.org . Be sure to include “AKC 125 th Logo” on
the subject line when making the request via email.
Event Planning & Corresponding Dates
Sooner or later, most clubs will have to move an event date. DCA Host clubs may need to do so in
order to accommodate the national specialty, while non-host clubs may elect to move or cancel a
date in a given year due to conflicts with DCA or local, non-dog events.
One way to preserve your club’s rights to a particular date in succeeding years is to file your
application for those events now. Although the AKC Online Plans system will not generate a
corresponding event until the prior year’s event has been processed, there is no such restriction on
paper or faxed submissions. You will have to pay the event application fee when you send in the
application but do not have to supply a judging panel in order to lock-up the date in AKC’s system.
[A number of clubs have been doing this for years, but it does not hurt to point it out to everyone.
This kind of thing comes in handy when juggling national events.]

Dog & Equipment Suppliers
In the Summer 2008 Voice, we published the contact information for Emanuele Dog Supplies in
Oil City, PA. The Emanueles sold beating sticks and a wide variety of collars and field leads at very
reasonable prices. Late in the year, I attempted to contact them to purchase trophies for DFWDC’s
Farmerville trials but found the phone number to be disconnected. It appears that they have shut
down the business and moved away.
In related news, Larry Shaw of Fountain Head Supply in Warwick, RI also is retiring from the
dog supply business. Larry told me that another New England beagler is interested in taking over
the business, however, so fans of his day-glo collars should not despair … or throw away Larry’s
contact information just yet!
Kerndt Livestock Products sells fiberglass “hog sticks” that make great beating sticks. This item
comes in a variety of colors (including AKC ribbon shades) and are priced around $4 apiece.

Bill Boatman & Co. is a hunting dog supplier that many Dachshund field trialers have become
familiar with over the years. The company sells a wide variety of merchandise through its website
and catalog business. They offer some really great Cordura 1000 denier nylon chaps in a selection
of lengths. [Ladies … for once, I didn’t have to hem mine.] These are easy to pull on and off even
while wearing boots.

The New England Overshoe Company (NEOS) makes a line of waterproof footwear
that slips on over your shoes or boots to protect them from water and mud. These
are not galoshes or rubber boots. They keep your shoes socks and pant legs dry but
can put pulled on or off quickly. Pretty handy for trackers and field trialers alike.
Go check out the company’s website at www.overshoe.com . You cannot buy
NEOS directly from them, but you can look at the styles available or locate a retailer.

Planning Judging Panels Before Events Are Approved
Another tip from Jean Dieden::
“In order to make our fiscal calendar year easier to track, I've tried to hold off submitting event
application fees until after January 1 st … even if the events are completely planned earlier. As a
result, I ran into a little problem this winter as I tried submitting a judges' panel while the event
was still listed as "pended," not approved due to the fee having not yet been received.
Apparently this is an AKC "no-no." Oops...
Here's a suggestion from Sue Richards at Event Operations on how judges panels may be planned
on the online system before an event is fully approved:
“You can use the JPP (not the Quick Submit) system to plan your panel without submitting
the judge’s to AKC. You can get to the system two ways. When you first enter the Online
System, you would use choice 2b of the Judges Planning Tool. When you are at the
application site, under Judges Information and Management click on Manage Judges using
the OLP Application tool.
When you use this tool, under judges' Contract Status you would “Pend” the contract status.
Once you do that, our system will not recognize that you have entered the judge. Some
systems do have a problem with JAVA and must use a tool to troubleshoot the problem. If
you click on the link below, it will assist you in trouble shooting this problem:
< https://www.akc.org/pdfs/online_services/TroubleshootingAccesstoJPP.pdf >
Please note: The "Quick Submit" Judges Planning tool does not have these capabilities.” ”
AKC Earthdog Judges Directory Information
In case you're wondering … the online AKC judges directory only lists a maximum of eight
earthdog class assignments and then stops counting. It seems this is an arbitrarily selected
number as there is no "10 trial" rule for earthdog judges. (submitted by Jean Dieden)
Also worth noting … Introduction to Quarry assignments are only counted in the judges directory if
the records were submitted to AKC (which is not required but would be a helpful practice). Back a
number of years ago, even if the IQ judging sheets were sent in to Event Operations the
assignment was not always recorded in the judges directory. (ed.)

The Year in Review:
2008 Dachshund Field Trial Statistics
There were 75 Dachshund field trials held by DCA and 26 regional clubs in 2008. The largest event
of the year was DFWDC’s “host” trial with 119 entries including 65 field champions. The National
Field Trial was the second largest with 108 entries. Those numbers were quite amazing given that
the two events occurred in Texas during a very ICY week in January!
Three day trial weekends and the rule change that allowed licensed clubs to hold two additional
trials per year have already begun to make their impact on the annual statistics as witnessed by
the table below. In Region III, DFWDC had two “extra” trials in 2008 while Houston DC
supplemented its December weekend with a Friday open stake-only trial. [Several other clubs plan
to offer Friday open-only trials in 2009. Metro Atlanta and GPDC have already scheduled three trial
weekends for the spring.] In Region IV, the Saint Louis club added a fall field trial weekend while
Buckeye DC moved its invitational to Friday in order to accommodate a second licensed trial during
its weekend. In Region VI, DFABC and Met Washington DC combined to sponsor a fall field trial
weekend at Swatara Beagle grounds that will be utilized for DCA 2009.

Over the course of the year, 150 field champions earned stake placements at member or licensed
Dachshund field trials. 96 of those dogs placed at least twice thereby making themselves eligible
for the DCA Field Trial Merit standings. The top 20 dogs for 2008 are shown on the next page. For
those interested, a complete listing of the merit point rankings can be found in the Files section of
the DCA Performance Events group on Yahoo. Prior year data is also available there.
Congratulations to all … particularly Mike Pitisci and DC Town Farms Water Wings aka Brooke.
Brooke earned 12 placements and four absolutes in 2008. She is only the fifth Dachshund to earn
more than 300 merit points in a calendar year. The first two dogs to do so were Huti (FC Qua-
Linea Achates Tehuti JE) and Czar (FC Czar v Moosbach-Zuzelek) in 2001. Huti accumulated 325

DCA FIELD TRIAL MERIT AWARDS: DCA Membership requirements for Awards will be in accordance with current policy as
determined by the DCA Board for DCA Merit Award Programs. Only those points earned for placements in the Field Champion stakes at AKC
licensed or member trials will count toward the DCA Field Trial Merit Awards. Points are tabulated using the Delaney System +1 for first through
fourth place, based on the number of starters. In the case of ties, dogs will receive the same place award, with the next place(s) being skipped.
A minimum of two placements in Field Champion stakes during the award year are required to earn an award, and / or be included in preliminary
listings.

Zimmer JE) earned more than 300 merit points in three different years. He amassed 433 points in
2003, 419 points in 2004, and 426 points in 2006. Ana Maria (FC Hurricane Ana Maria v Czar SW
JE) garnered 392 in 2007. Brooke is in good company indeed! [Many thanks to Cheri Faust and
Lois Ballard for confirming these numbers and dates. Please note that all point totals in this
paragraph were tabulated under the Delaney +1 system that DCA adopted from 2002 forward.
Under the 1995-2001 merit point system, dogs were awarded a 10 point bonus for absolute wins.
Prior to 1995, an absolute winner was awarded points equal to the total number of entries in the
trial.]

In yet another sign of the times … for the second year running, it took more than 100 merit points
to crack the top 20. 23 dogs actually passed that benchmark in 2008. In contrast, only 13 dogs
earned 100 or more points in 2006.
There were strong finishes in the last quarter particularly from Oslo, Danika and Ochre. We saw
lots of movement within the standings through mid-December. At year’s end, just six points lay
between #6 Shag and #9 Danika while the late FC Zindox Seb. Buzz Holzfalr MW SE finished just
out of the top 20 with 111 points. 2008 was a bittersweet year for Buzz’s owner, John Merriman.
In addition to Buzz’s successes, his Carmen had an excellent year finishing at #4 in the DCA Field
Trial Merit Award standings.

WHEN IS A “DISQUALIFICATION” NOT A
“DISQUALIFICATION?”
From time to time, both dog aggression and human misconduct have been addressed in The Voice. The most recent
offering on those topics was a December 2005 article by Larry Gohlke. Larry’s piece did a good job of summarizing the
AKC’s policies for dealing with aggression and misconduct. Given some recent changes instituted by AKC, however, the
PEC felt that it would be appropriate to take a fresh look at these issues. [The December 2005 edition of The Voice – and
many other back issues – are available in the Files section of the DCA Performance Events list on Yahoogroups. Those who
are unable to participate in the Yahoogroup can obtain an electronic version of back issues by contacting the editor.]
by Jean Dieden
There is confusion regarding the term “disqualification” when applied to AKC performance events
such as field trials and earthdog tests. My understanding is that rules across all venues are being
reworked by AKC to become consistent.
There is different documentation for each type of incident that should be familiar to all judges and
committee members and merits careful review. The rules ensure that incidents can be recorded
timely and accurately to help protect all involved parties and to guard against incomplete
accounts should future action result. As a judge, committee member and board member of a club
that hold such events (and therefore subject to lawsuit), as a land owner who conducts AKC
events on my property and as an exhibitor, this can be disconcerting when missed details affect
final incident decisions.
To help be better prepared to deal with potentially bad event situations, here is an effort to clarify
the most important points.
QUALIFYING and NON-QUALIFYING
These terms are the appropriate terms to apply to passing performances or scores at events
where judging is based on an expected standard of accomplishment, such as earthdog tests.
Judges should be mindful to refer to a dog as having been “NQ’d” or “failed” for inadequate work
rather than “disqualified” for any reason other than what is listed below.
DISQUALIFICATION DUE TO ELIGIBILITY ISSUES
Dachshund field trials and earthdog tests most often do not “disqualify” dogs based on eligibility.
This is the term used in the breed ring in reference to dogs with “disqualifying faults” listed in the
breed standards or for certain corrective surgical procedures. The earthdog rules do specify that
dogs without useful vision or hearing are “ineligible” to compete.
DISQUALIFICATION DUE TO ABSENCE
The Voice
Forum
This phrasing applies in field trials to the 15 minute rule in Procedure 5-E from Field Trial Rules
and Standard Procedure for Dachshunds:
WINTER 2008 16 of 35

“Any Dachshund, except the bracemate for the odd Dachshund in first series, that does not
appear within 15 minutes after the judges have called for its brace shall be marked absent
in any series and shall not be permitted to run. …The judges shall establish a reasonable
time limit before disqualifying for absence a Dachshund that they have selected as the
bracemate for the odd Dachshund in first series.”
Note that such DQ due to absence “shall be reported by the judges to the Field Trial Committee,
which shall investigate the absence and submit a complete report to The American Kennel Club”.
DISQUALIFICATION BY JUDGE
This is an intermediate level of penalty that applies in performance events ONLY to cases of
“attack” WHILE UNDER JUDGMENT. Specifically, here are the sections of the rules that apply:
Field Trial Rules and Standard Procedure for Dachshunds, Chapter 5, Section 4:
“DQ by Judge A dog is not eligible to be entered or to compete in any licensed or member
trial if the dog has on two occasions been made the subject of the following report: If a
dog, while under judgement, attacks another dog, and if the Judges are
unanimously of the opinion that such an attack was without reasonable cause, the
Judges shall identify the offending dog on the judging sheet, and the name of the
offending dog shall be listed in the report of the trial sent to the American Kennel Club.”
Regulations for Earthdog Tests for Small Terriers and Dachshunds, Chapter 4, Section 15,
Paragraph 3:
“During the test, the dogs are expected to work together without interference or
aggression. The judge may pick up and excuse from the test any dog which willfully
interferes with its bracemate, either playfully or with malice, or any dog which in the
opinion of the judge is running out of control. The judge must disqualify any dog
which attacks its bracemate. The judge must report any incident of interference or
attack to the test secretary, who shall report such incident to the AKC. Any dogs that
have been disqualified twice shall be barred from participation in AKC Earthdog
events until reinstated by the AKC. The remaining dog shall be picked up and shall
run as or with the bye-dog.”
The key points to keep in mind regarding DQ by Judge are:
• It is only allowed when one dog ATTACKS another WHILE THE DOGS ARE UNDER
JUDGEMENT.
• No actual injury has to occur. (Note that even “incidents of interference” must be reported
to the test secretary, who then shall report to the AKC.) In a memo from the agility
department several years ago, an “attack” consists of “any instance where the dog actually
tried to grab someone or did grab them. Skin contact is not required.” Most venues
recognize a difference between “attack” and the lesser “aggressive behavior” which
includes “growling or threatening barking.”
• In Dachshund field trials, both judges must unanimously agree that SUCH AN ATTACK WAS
WITHOUT REASONABLE CAUSE. A dog defending itself from being mounted, for instance,
may not be subject to a report.

• A DQ by Judge report is filed by the judge(s) with the event secretary who then includes it
with the rest of the paperwork sent in to AKC. Notes are written by the judges on the back
of judges sheets and / or included in the secretary’s report. In February 2009, AKC
published a separate “Disqualification by Judge” form that is available online and should be
seen in future secretary packets. It was considered “effective immediately.”
• DQ by Judge incidents are considered “two strike” offenses. In other words, after a first
incident, a dog subject to such a report will be able to enter and compete again. After two
such reports, however, the dog will be INELIGIBLE TO BE ENTERED IN THE
CORRESPONDING EVENT.
• There is NO CROSSOVER between event venues. Dogs disqualified at earthdog may run in
field trials, and vice versa. Dogs with two strikes in field trials will only be “ineligible to
enter or compete at licensed or member field trials,” dogs with two strikes at earthdog
tests will be only “barred from participation” at earthdog tests (all classes).
• Dogs under this type of disqualification have no restrictions against their appearance on
the grounds of any AKC event. Owners may apply to have their dogs reinstated by the
AKC.
DISQUALIFICATION BY COMMITTEE
The DQ by Committee rule was added to all AKC events in 2004 after a dog was attacked outside
a show ring and later died of its injuries. Previously, there was no specific rule that applied to
dogs outside the arenas of competition or that would deal a more severe response to dog on dog
aggression when an injury (or actual death) was involved.
Field Trial Rules and Standard Procedure for Dachshunds, Chapter 7, Section 14
OR Regulations for Earthdog Tests for Small Terriers and Dachshunds, Chapter 1, Section 19:
“Any dog, that in the opinion of the Event Committee or The American Kennel Club,
attacks a person or a dog at an AKC event, resulting in injury, and is believed by
that Event Committee or The American Kennel Club to present a hazard to persons or
other dogs shall be disqualified. When the dog is disqualified by the Event Committee
pursuant to this section, a report shall be filed immediately with the Executive
Secretary of The American Kennel Club. The disqualified dog may not again
compete at any AKC event nor be on the grounds of an AKC event unless and until,
following application for reinstatement by the owner to The American Kennel Club, the
owner receives official notification in writing from the AKC that the dog’s eligibility has
been reinstated.”
This action is, in reality, the end result of an INCIDENT REPORT filed by the event committee
whenever an injury occurs (either to another dog or a person.) NO MEMBER OF THE EVENT
COMMITTEE NEED WITNESS THE ATTACK. If the event committee becomes aware of an injury, it
must consider disqualification, and in all cases, MUST COMPLETE the “Disqualification by
Committee” form.
Completing an investigation does not automatically result in a DQ. In fact, it may exonerate a
dog. One such case occurred at a recent agility trial when two dogs became entangled in their
leashes outside a ring. One dog panicked and injured the other. As a result, the committee was
obliged to investigate and submit a report.

For an actual DQ by Event Committee to be applied, three conditions must be meet:
1) There must be an attack;
2) there must be an injury; and
3) the Event Committee must believe the dog is a hazard to people or other dogs.
The “Disqualification by Committee” form is included in every event secretary packet. It is not
posted online because it is a four-part form from which copies may be distributed. DQ by
Committee reports should be filed any time a dog related injury occurs, NOT JUST WHEN A DOG
IS DISQUALIFIED. Consider it like a report for a work related injury.
The report contains a series of questions for the committee to address regarding the incident,
including whether the committee feels that the dog represents a hazard and whether or not the
dog was disqualified and the owner notified. [See the included scanned copy of the actual report
form to help understand its application.] The goal is to obtain fresh witness statements, to
document the injury, and to investigate and to report the circumstances so that the AKC will have
some insight into the committee’s decision. With clubs, committees and landowners frequently
subject to litigation, it is important to record as accurately as possible everything we can. With a
72-hour filing deadline, expediency is essential.
The key points to keep in mind regarding DQ by Committee are:
• It applies to ALL incidents that occur at an AKC event, including any time dogs are on the
grounds, in the parking area, in the gallery, etc.
• It applies to ALL incidents where an INJURY occurs. What exactly constitutes an “injury?”
According to an AKC memo, “Any damage to a body, including but not limited to soreness,
bruising, internal injuries” … even coat damage. Skin puncture or laceration is not
required.
• All incidents MUST be investigated by THE COMMITTEE. NO COMPLAINT NEEDS TO BE
FILED from the owner of the injured dog for this action to be
• taken. This is NOT A HEARING. Judges, exhibitors, workers, spectators and owners
should be asked to write statements about the incident to be included in the report. There
is no “swearing in” of witnesses. It is recommended that injuries be documented by a
licensed veterinarian, at the club’s expense if necessary. Record keeping is essential.
• DQ by Committee reports MUST BE FAXED TO AKC EVENT OPERATIONS WITHIN 72
HOURS of the event. The fax number is printed on the form. A separate comment may
be made on the event secretary’s report, noting that the investigation occurred. The form
does NOT get sent in with the normal secretary reports.
• A DQ by Committee incident is considered a “ONE STRIKE” offense. In other words, after
a first incident, dogs named in such a report are disqualified as soon as notice of the
committee decision is given to their owners. A copy of the report must be given to the
owner. If he / she has let the premises before the report is complete, it may be sent
certified mail.
• After such a DQ by Committee report has been filed against it, dogs MAY NOT AGAIN
COMPETE AT ANY AKC EVENT NOR BE ON THE GROUNDS OF AN AKC EVENT. This

action crosses over to ALL AKC venues, not just the type event where the injury occurred.
• Owners may apply to have their dogs ”REINSTATED” by the AKC.
MISCONDUCT PROCEEDINGS
The rules for dealing with misconduct do NOT apply specifically to the disqualification reports sent
in to AKC by either the judge, event secretary or the committee. Misconduct pertains to the
actions of PERSONS in association with an event, while disqualifications are actions taken against
a DOG.
If a committee or exhibitor feels that the handler / owner of a dog either through their action or
inaction was largely responsible for an incident then Misconduct
Procedures may be indicated instead of a Disqualification report. In some cases, there may be
cause for both.
Charges listed in AKC’s Dealing with Misconduct pamphlet include “failure to control an unruly
dog” [Under Misconduct Against a Judge] and “failure to properly control a dog at an event”
[Under Disorderly Conduct].
The key points to keep in mind regarding Misconduct Proceedings are:
• Charges are brought against a PERSON.
• Event Committee HEARINGS are held to investigate the charges.
• If sustained, penalties associated with failing to control a dog charges range from a
REPRIMAND to a 6-month event SUSPENSION with a $1000 fine.
• Dogs involved with any incident ARE NOT PENALIZED SPECIFICALLY. If they are NOT
OWNED by the suspended person, they may continue to be exhibited throughout the
suspension.
• All dogs OWNED OR CO-OWNED by anyone suspended from the AKC are not allowed to be
exhibited during the penalty period. However they can resume their competition once the
period has passed with no further paperwork involved.
The Voice
Forum
• When charges are sustained, the PERSON is SANCTIONED and, if appropriate, SUSPENDED
of AKC privileges. People are not, in these cases, “disqualified.”
