Chairman’s Message<br />
Within the next month, the spring trial season will be<br />
behind us, and we will be able to look forward to a break<br />
before the fall season and the 2009 national field events.<br />
Plans are well under way for those festivities, and we<br />
hope to see many <strong>of</strong> you in Maryland and Pennsylvania<br />
come October. <strong>The</strong> latest details, including premium lists<br />
and order forms, will be posted to the DCA 2009 website<br />
as they become available. We have included trophy and<br />
sponsorship information in this <strong>Voice</strong> issue, however, for<br />
your convenience. Please note that sponsorship levels<br />
have been increased this year to <strong>of</strong>fset rising expenses.<br />
One interesting consequence <strong>of</strong> holding the national<br />
specialty in the fall has been the decision to move the<br />
DCA Annual Trial to the spring in order to avoid a conflict<br />
with the national events. Oftentimes, there seems to be<br />
much confusion about the origins and traditions <strong>of</strong> this<br />
particular trial, so it is perhaps fitting that we have an<br />
article in this issue that will hopefully clarify the<br />
significance <strong>of</strong> the Annual and a few <strong>of</strong> the other notable<br />
yearly <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trial events.<br />

<strong>2008</strong> AKC Title Statistics<br />
AKC recently published its “Annual Statistics” report. In <strong>2008</strong>, <strong>Dachshund</strong>s earned:<br />
37 Dual Championships<br />
90 Field Championships<br />
1 Champion Tracker (CT) title<br />
4 Master Earthdog titles<br />
22 Senior Earthdog titles<br />
54 Junior Earthdog titles<br />
2 Tracking Dog Excellent titles<br />
11 Tracking Dog titles<br />
Congratulations to the hard-working dogs and handlers behind these numbers!<br />
Judges Affirmation Process<br />
In late March, AKC’s Performance Events Department published a memorandum which stated that<br />
clubs would no longer be required to submit judges affirmation forms with event results. Nor will<br />
affirmation forms be supplied in the “event kit” mailed to future test and trial secretaries.<br />
New performance judges will be supplied with an affirmation form during AKC field trial and<br />
SPRING 2009 5 <strong>of</strong> 23
earthdog seminars. A prospective judge will have to be complete the form and submitted to AKC<br />
along with their judge’s application before he /she can be approved for their first assignment.<br />
Field Trial Premium Lists vs. Flyers<br />
Chapter 6 <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trial regulations does not explicitly state that copies <strong>of</strong> a club’s<br />
premium list need to be sent to AKC as is usually the case with AKC member and licensed events.<br />
This fact has been inferred to imply that <strong>Dachshund</strong> clubs do not need to publish and distribute<br />
premium lists for their field trial events. That is not true, however, according to both Doug<br />
Ljungren, AKC Assistant Vice President for Performance Events, and Mel Stewart, Field Director <strong>of</strong><br />
Hounds. Both gentlemen contend that all AKC events should conform to the standard policy<br />
regarding premium lists.<br />
Given these statements, it would be advisable for all clubs to publish a premium list in the future<br />
rather than a “flyer”. This should not be too onerous as the chief difference between a flyer and a<br />
premium list is the inclusion <strong>of</strong> an <strong>of</strong>ficial AKC entry form. <strong>Club</strong>s should also submit a copy <strong>of</strong> their<br />
premium lists to Performance Events. <strong>The</strong> good news there is the fact that AKC is willing to accept<br />
premiums electronically. Simply email your premium list to Performance Events Assistant Tonya<br />
Romano at tbr@akc.org . Premiums can also be sent to fieldtrials@akc.org .<br />
Getting More From Your Field Trial Weekend …<br />
Participating in dogs sports <strong>of</strong> any kind requires a commitment <strong>of</strong> both time and money. It is,<br />
therefore, not surprising, that many clubs have sought to enrich the field trial experience for<br />
exhibitors and make the most <strong>of</strong> the fact that people have traveled from far and near to attend their<br />
events.<br />
Training matches, open stake-only events, and two day trials are just some enticements on <strong>of</strong>fer<br />
around the country. Some clubs have even run non-regular stakes in which entries were restricted<br />
based on the handlers’ age / experience level. Your editor’s personal favorite “extra”, though, is the<br />
Veterans stake. Those young whippersnappers in the regular stakes might be faster, but there is<br />
also much to be said for watching a pack <strong>of</strong> white faced veterans trail rabbit.<br />
<strong>The</strong> most recent Veterans Stake was <strong>of</strong>fered by DC <strong>of</strong> Metro Atlanta at the start<br />
<strong>of</strong> its three trial weekend this spring. <strong>The</strong> stake was run on Friday before the<br />
club’s open stake-only trial, and 17 dogs participated. <strong>The</strong>ir ages ranged from<br />
seven to 16.5 years. Robert Schwalbe and Jamie Sexton served as stake<br />
judges. <strong>The</strong>y utilized a scoring system that factored in a handicap assigned to<br />
each competitor based on his / her age.<br />
Placements were awarded as follows:<br />
1 st Truman aka DC Sunlights Truman JE. Truman is a nine year old SL owned by Phyllis<br />
Meseroll & Michael Nothstein.<br />
2 nd Hobson aka CH Hillandachs Hobson Pruitt W CD JE. Hobson is a 16.5 year old SW owned<br />
by Gail & Robert La Berge.<br />
3 rd Steffi aka FC Sunlight Steffi. Steffi is a nine year old SL owned by Phyllis Meseroll & Michael<br />
Nothstein.<br />
4 th Ginger aka FC Warble's Princess Ginger. Ginger is an 11 year old ML owned by Pat<br />
Warble.<br />
NBQ JR aka DC Kelkor's Cassidy JR. JR is a 13 year old SW owned by Pam Reed.<br />
SPRING 2009 6 <strong>of</strong> 23
<strong>The</strong> Atlanta club waived the entry fee for any dog older than 16 and <strong>of</strong>fered a prize for the oldest<br />
competitor. <strong>The</strong> recipient <strong>of</strong> this year’s award was Alice Moyer’s Bogey aka FC Hillside's One<br />
Over Par CDX RN AX AXJ JE. Bogey edged out Hobson for the prize … he is 25 days older!<br />

Outside the rabbit enclosure, many clubs have also fostered social interaction between exhibitors by<br />
<strong>of</strong>fering Friday and / or Saturday evening dinners. Often these are potluck meals. Some clubs do<br />
opt for a local restaurant, however, while still others provide a “catered” experience if they are lucky<br />
enough to have a clubhouse kitchen facility and sufficient volunteers.<br />
It is perhaps not surprising that the apex <strong>of</strong> such post-trial festivities would be<br />
sponsored by the Bayou DC <strong>of</strong> New Orleans. <strong>The</strong> club has frequently hosted a<br />
Halloween costume party during its fall field trial weekend. <strong>The</strong> inspired<br />
zaniness <strong>of</strong> its annual Mardi Gras fête, though, is truly a sight to behold.<br />
That celebration is held in conjunction with Bayou’s January field trials. It<br />
SPRING 2009 7 <strong>of</strong> 23
features a colorfully named food contest — the Swamp Rabbit Cook-<strong>of</strong>f — as well<br />
as themed decorations and prizes. <strong>The</strong> highlight, however, is a Saturday evening parade.<br />
Costumes are strongly encouraged for both human and canine attendees … and the 2009 edition<br />
was presided over by a canine King and Queen resplendent in robes and crowns.<br />
Not even the last minute relocation <strong>of</strong> the trials from Prentiss, MS to Sealy, TX put a damper on this<br />
year’s parade. Trial chair Randy David and the Bayou club just adapted by pressing the fleet <strong>of</strong><br />
rented golf carts — normally utilized to shuttle dogs and people the quarter mile from the clubhouse<br />
to the rabbit enclosure — into service as parade floats!<br />
Beagler Owen Baker and his wife Elaine served as this year’s parade marshals. Prior marshals have<br />
included Doug Ljungren, AKC Director <strong>of</strong> Performance Events, and Mel Stewart, Field Director <strong>of</strong><br />
Hounds. Owen was so tickled by the notion <strong>of</strong> a parade that he invited neighbors to come and<br />
watch the funny <strong>Dachshund</strong> people tool around in the dark slinging Mardi Gras beads.<br />

and nutrition. <strong>The</strong> newsletter archive can be found at www.b-naturals.com/newsletters .<br />
<strong>The</strong> April and May 2009 editions <strong>of</strong> the B-Naturals newsletter have featured a two part article on<br />
tick-borne diseases written by Gil Ash, one <strong>of</strong> the moderators <strong>of</strong> the Tick-L discussion group. This<br />
piece is very informative, and I highly recommend reading both parts.<br />
As someone who recently had a 14.5 year old dog diagnosed with Lyme’s disease despite the fact<br />
that he had been Frontlined regularly his entire life, I can attest to how frightening TBDs can be.<br />
Just getting the correct diagnosis can be tricky … in Oliver’s case we initially believed that there was<br />
a back issue at play. He showed signs <strong>of</strong> deep pain in both the neck and spine, but no disc problems<br />
were evident on x-rays. That fact led my vet to consider TBDs so we tested for Rocky Mountain<br />
Spotted Fever, Ehrlichia, and Lyme’s. After a very high titer on the Lyme’s, we began Oliver on a<br />
course <strong>of</strong> Doxycyline and saw immediate improvement.<br />

What’s in a name …<br />
<strong>The</strong><br />
Annual<br />
<strong>The</strong> National<br />
Host <strong>Club</strong><br />
<strong>The</strong> Invitational<br />
<strong>The</strong>se are all terms that refer to separate, unique <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trials held annually. Given that<br />
each event has its own distinct history and traditions, we thought a brief discussion <strong>of</strong> these trials<br />
would be interesting to our readers. In future issues <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Voice</strong>, we will plan to tackle the history<br />
<strong>of</strong> these trials individually and in greater detail.<br />
In this country, the first <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trial was held in 1933 under the aegis <strong>of</strong> the short-lived<br />
Unites States <strong>Dachshund</strong> Field Trial <strong>Club</strong>. <strong>The</strong> USDFTC was established by fanciers determined to<br />
preserve the working skills that made the <strong>Dachshund</strong> unique. This club was based in the mid-<br />
Atlantic area, and its field trial format was quite rigorous. In many respects, the system bore far<br />
more resemblance to den trials and blood tracking than modern brace-on-rabbit trials. Elaborate<br />
burrows were created, requiring weeks <strong>of</strong> construction and installation. This work load proved<br />
untenable for the club’s small work force, however, and the USDFTC disbanded after just two years.<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Dachshund</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong> stepped into the void left by the USDFTC’s abrupt demise and<br />
began holding AKC affiliated field trials in 1935. <strong>The</strong> club’s first trial took place at the James Cox<br />
Brady estate in Lamington, NJ on September 22 nd <strong>of</strong> that year. A second trial occurred later that fall<br />
in West Chester, PA. <strong>The</strong> “best in field” at both trials was a 12 pound black and tan smooth bitch<br />
named Amsel v. Holzgarten. Amsel was owned by George McKay Schieffelin, then DCA Secretary<br />
and the club’s AKC Delegate.<br />
Since those first field trials in 1935, DCA has held at least one trial each year with the exception <strong>of</strong><br />
1947 - 1950 when no trials were held. DCA actually hosted three trials per year from 1936 through<br />
1940. Six dogs finished field championships during that period. Fittingly, the first <strong>of</strong> these was<br />
Amsel v. Holzgarten who finished her field championship in style by again prevailing in the open<br />
all age bitch stake before defeating the dog stake winner at the September 20, 1936 DCA Trial.<br />
<strong>The</strong> one trial per year tradition began in 1941 (1959 being an<br />
exception with two trials). This annual trial was held in late<br />
fall and simply referred to as “the DCA Field Trial” because it<br />
was the ONLY <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trial held each year. In its<br />
early years, the trial rotated around between various sites in<br />
New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. By the time that<br />
the <strong>Dachshund</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> New Jersey held the first licensed trial<br />
on April 23, 1967, however, the <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trial<br />
community had settled into north-central New Jersey for<br />
good. <strong>The</strong> inaugural DCNJ trial was held on state game lands<br />
in Sussex County, while the DCA trial that year took place on<br />
the Brady estate yet again. Through its well established ties<br />
with beagler Lloyd Bowers (a frequent judge), DCA was able<br />
to hold its 1968 trial at the now familiar Central Jersey<br />
Beagle <strong>Club</strong> in Sergeantsville, NJ. Field trial enthusiasts were<br />
Between 1935 and 1946, eight<br />
<strong>Dachshund</strong>s earned AKC field<br />
championships. All but one <strong>of</strong><br />
these were smooths.<br />
<strong>The</strong> lone exception was George<br />
C. White’s CH Vagabund v.<br />
Paulinenberg, who became a<br />
field champion in 1943. This dog<br />
was the first wirehaired field<br />
champion as well as the breed’s<br />
first dual champion. Vagabund<br />
was the grandsire <strong>of</strong> CH Brentwald<br />
Joshua W and is, therefore, behind<br />
the pedigrees <strong>of</strong> many <strong>of</strong> today’s<br />
standard wires.<br />
SPRING 2009 9 <strong>of</strong> 23
thrilled by this move. <strong>The</strong> beagle club’s 70 fenced acres were well stocked with rabbits … a welcome<br />
change after years <strong>of</strong> struggling with too few bunnies at other sites.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Connecticut Yankee DC was inspired by DCNJ’s field trial endeavor and began <strong>of</strong>fering fun days<br />
and later sanctioned trials. It held its first licensed event on May 2, 1971. <strong>Club</strong>s in California, New<br />
York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio also became licensed over the next decade as interest grew among<br />
fanciers. This expansion <strong>of</strong> the sport — particularly its spread beyond the Northeast — ultimately<br />
generated interest in a “national” trial which could be held in conjunction with the yearly DCA<br />
specialty. This idea came to fruition in 1984.<br />
In many respects, 1984 was watershed year for <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trials. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Dachshund</strong> Association<br />
<strong>of</strong> Long Island became licensed to hold trials. Meanwhile out west, the first ever regional trial was<br />
held on March 24 th in California under the aegis <strong>of</strong> DCA I. That event and the Northern California DC<br />
trial the next day represented the first two-event circuit in <strong>Dachshund</strong> field trial history. Most<br />
significant <strong>of</strong> all, however, DCA hosted two trials in 1984: its annual fall event and an additional trial<br />
held “in association” with the national specialty. This extra trial took place on June 25 th at the<br />
Central Jersey Beagle <strong>Club</strong> in Sergeantsville. [<strong>The</strong> national specialty host club in 1984 was the<br />
<strong>Dachshund</strong> Fanciers Association <strong>of</strong> Berks County. <strong>The</strong> conformation show and annual meeting were<br />
held in suburban Philadelphia.]<br />
Some people maintain that this event was the first DCA<br />
National Field Trial, but it was never <strong>of</strong>ficially designated with<br />
that name. <strong>The</strong> minutes from the 1984 DCA Annual Meeting<br />
do, however, record that a motion was made and passed “to<br />
hold a <strong>Dachshund</strong> <strong>Club</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>America</strong> National Field Trial in<br />
conjunction with the National Specialty Show”. As a result,<br />
the 1985 DCA trial held in Yelm, Washington is generally<br />
considered to have been DCA’s first national field event.<br />
<strong>The</strong> winner <strong>of</strong> the 1985 National<br />
Field Trial was Robert and June<br />
Kelly’s CH Ivic Cevan’s Foxfire CDX.<br />
This talented standard longhaired<br />
dog would eventually finish his<br />
competition career as DC Ivic<br />
Cevan’s Foxfire CDX TD CG VC.<br />
DCA has held a National Field Trial every year since 1985 with the location rotating around the<br />
country along with that <strong>of</strong> the club’s national specialty show. Despite the introduction <strong>of</strong> this new<br />
event, there was a keen interest among fanciers — particularly in the Northeast — to preserve the<br />
history and traditions <strong>of</strong> the yearly fall DCA sponsored trial in New Jersey. As a result, that event<br />
has continued to be held. It is now referred to as the Annual Field Trial, however, in order to<br />
distinguish it from its newer DCA counterpart.<br />
Given that the Annual and the National field trials are <strong>of</strong>ficially hosted by DCA rather than local clubs<br />
or regions, the parent club created distinct trophy plans for both events. At the National, the<br />
Absolute winner receives an 11 inch bronze plaque while 8 inch plaques are awarded for first place<br />
in each stake. [11 inch plaques are awarded on just two occasions each year. <strong>The</strong> other plaques go<br />
to the variety winners at the DCA National Specialty Show.] <strong>The</strong> Annual <strong>of</strong>fers an 8” plaque for the<br />
Absolute Winner and 5 inch plaques to each stake winner.<br />
Once the “National” tradition was established, the idea <strong>of</strong> pairing it with a Host <strong>Club</strong> Trial was not<br />
far behind. Host club events not only provide additional opportunities for points and placements;<br />
they also <strong>of</strong>fer dogs the chance to work what is <strong>of</strong>ten an unfamiliar locale before the “big event”. In<br />
2005, DCA recognized the caliber <strong>of</strong> competition present at these associated events when the Board<br />
decided to allow host clubs to <strong>of</strong>fer the same trophy plan it utilizes for the Annual.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Buckeye Invitational is the latest addition to the ever growing list <strong>of</strong> events available to the<br />
<strong>Dachshund</strong> field trial community. This non-AKC event is sponsored by the Buckeye <strong>Dachshund</strong> <strong>Club</strong>.<br />
It began in 2004 and has been held each November since at the Buckeye Beagle Running Grounds in<br />
Dundee, Ohio.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Invitational’s procedures are unique and represent a considerable departure from the AKC<br />
system for <strong>Dachshund</strong> trials, which are firmly rooted in the traditions <strong>of</strong> brace Beagling.<br />
Competitors at the Invitational are run in braces on rabbit, but there are very few other similarities<br />
SPRING 2009 10 <strong>of</strong> 23
with the AKC format ins<strong>of</strong>ar as how the competition is managed and scored.<br />
<strong>The</strong> trial entry is limited to 20 dogs who are invited to participate based on their ranking in the DCA<br />
Field Trial Merit Point system for the previous year. <strong>The</strong> Buckeye club sends out “invitations” to the<br />
owners <strong>of</strong> the top 20 point earners early each year. If an invited <strong>Dachshund</strong> cannot participate, the<br />
next field champion on the Merit Point list is invited until all 20 slots are filled.<br />
During the trial, all dogs get to run in the first two series. Both series are braced separately before<br />
the start <strong>of</strong> first series. Dogs with two losses are eliminated from competiton beyond second series,<br />
but a dog who sustains one defeat during the course <strong>of</strong> the trial can, in fact, win the Invitational.<br />
Two pairs <strong>of</strong> judges alternate series throughout the day, and all four judges score the final brace.<br />
This system was designed to overcome what some felt was a limitation <strong>of</strong> the AKC format — the fact<br />
that a dog could win a large class based entirely on its success in as little as two runs.<br />
AKC trials have been held in association with the Invitational to encourage interest and participation.<br />
Initially, the accompanying events were held under the aegis <strong>of</strong> DCA Region IV. Once it achieved<br />
AKC recognition, however, Buckeye <strong>Dachshund</strong> <strong>Club</strong> began hosting its own licensed trials on<br />
Saturday and Sunday, with the Invitational slated for the Friday before.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Summer edition <strong>of</strong> <strong>The</strong> <strong>Voice</strong> will feature a more detailed discussion on the Annual Trial and its<br />
history.<br />
