Correction for November Buckeye DC Field Trial Results The Buckeye Dachshund Club reports that due to a number of crises – including the need to rush their trial chair to the hospital – the wrong dog was credited as the absolute winner at its Saturday, November 13 th field trial. In the confusion, this mistake was not uncovered until the owner of the actual winner saw the results published in both the VOICE and the DCA Newsletter. Angie Von Der Pfauenbrucke, owned by Joanne Greer, won the OAAB stake that day. This win completed Angie’s field championship. She then went on to beat the FCD stake winner for the Absolute. Congratulations, Angie and Joanne! [I tried to reach Joanne to obtain a picture of she and Angie for inclusion in the Voice but was unsuccessful. If anyone has a photo of Angie and Joanne from the trial, please share! – TF] DCA 2012 News The 2012 national performance events will be held in Georgia.

Tilly is a ten year old SL owned by Melanie Simmons and Andra O’Connell. 2 nd Fritz aka FC Fritz von Scruffy. 14 year old Fritz was a SW owned by Sherry Ruggieri.
