Spring 2008 Voice - The Dachshund Club of America, Inc.

Chairman’s message 

2008 has already been and continues to promise to be an exceptional year. 

The 2008 DCA national field events were accomplished early and we have the 

many hard working members of the Dallas-Fort Worth Dachshund Club to 

thank for hosting, as well as the fellow DCA members who came in from 

around the country to contribute where needed. Of course many of you have 

already heard that this year's Absolute Winner of the DCA National Field Trial 

was 10 year old Laura Knoll and her dog FC Annie Ochre von Dorndorf. 

Congratulations to Laura, her family, Patt Nance (Ochre's breeder) and to ALL 

the other dogs and handlers who earned exceptional honors this year, in the 

field, in the earth, and "on line" at the DCA tracking tests. 

Next year, the National field events will be held in October in southern 

Pennsylvania. The tracking and earthdog tests will be hosted by the 

Dachshund Club of New Jersey, and the field trials will be hosted by the 

Metropolitan Washington Dachshund Club. They (and we) have almost 18 

months to prepare for the festivities. See you all there!!!! 

There are many changes in the dachshund field trial schedules planned for 

this year, and it will take some doing to keep up. Several clubs have 

recognized a need to attract and help newcomers to the sport and their plans 

reflect some ideas for other clubs to consider as well. This month DCNJ is 

hosting a one trial weekend that will start with educational and training 

opportunities Saturday morning, followed by Field Champions Saturday 

afternoon and consecutive open stakes on Sunday. Wolverine DC has for 

many years offered a similar "one trial" weekend along with training or "fun" 

activities and they've certainly shown that the potential income lost can be 

more than made up for in interest and good will generated, especially with 

their local newcomers. This year I've also heard that at least two clubs are

planning to offer an "Open stakes only" trial on their ground on Friday afternoon before their regularly scheduled 

two trial weekends. These are clubs that usually host one weekend a year and are relatively isolated. What a 

great opportunity, again primarily for local people, to be able to get to another trial to work on getting points on their 

dogs...without having to pay any more towards prohibitive gasoline costs. 

2008 sees most, if not eventually all, specialty clubs taking advantage of the new "4 trial rule" and opting to host 

their own additional specialty trials rather than DCA regional events. Apparently the time had come for our wings to 

spread! DCA Regional events will continue to be available as before and we can look forward to always having 

them available to fill in the need especially in an area without licensed clubs. I'm having the unique pleasure of 

working with a dedicated group of earthdog enthusiasts who may need DCA's help to set up qualifying tests in 

Alaska, where there are encountering many unique obstacles to getting a local club licensed. I salute everyone's 

efforts as we watch these programs continue to expand. 

Growth of any sport cannot be without conflict, and we are beginning to see an occasional problem as multiple 

clubs attempt to organize so many events with only a limited number of weekends available. I trust that it will prove 

a credit to our better nature that we will be able to accept and work with or around the issues that develop as a 

result. We must maintain that every one and every club be allowed to give first consideration to their own 

opportunities and needs. I suspect that as the numbers of trials, specialties and earthdog tests continue to grow 

that there will be competition for resources. As with most things in our society, "competition" is not always 

necessarily a bad thing, as it can be used to spur us on to doing even "more better." I, for one, am looking forward 

to the creative ideas that clubs come up with as our performance events activities grow. 

Tally Ho!

Jean Dieden, M.A. Klein, Robert Schwalbe, Ken Hagmueller, Sandi Myers, Zandra Clay, Cheri Faust, Cindi Todd, 

Larry Gohlke, Tracy Freeling, Scott Woodall, Judy Gallamore, Barbara Teigen, Wendy McQuiston 

The meeting was called to order by chair Jean Dieden at 6:40 p.m. The minutes from the previous TAC annual 

meeting March 17, 2007 were approved as submitted. There was a motion to accept the submitted Regional 

Reports with no opposition as follows: 

Regional Reports: 

Region I – A summary was presented regarding the successful events held in 2007. The number of regional 

events may decrease but the number of trials is expected not to change. 

Region II – A summary was presented as to the events held in 2007. There were no Regional events held in 2007 

and none are planned for 2008. 

Region III – A summary was presented as to the events held in 2007. There was a Field Trail Judge’s seminar 

held in 2007.

SPRING 2008 2 of 37

Region V – Issues that have been discussed within the Region were presented. These issues address potential 

rule changes and other needed actions. 

Region VI – A summary was presented regarding the events held in 2007. The Metropolitan Washington 

Dachshund Club in conjunction with the Dachshund Club of New Jersey is hosting the DCA Nationals in October 

2009. 

Chairman’s Report: 

Positive comments were made regarding the events hosted Dallas – Ft. Worth Dachshund Club. There was 

information presented that was discussed in the DCA Board meeting: 

- The DCA Treasurer reported that Regional finances cannot be separate from DCA finances. 

- No Regional events will be approved for Regions that are in default for fees due to DCA. 

- Ongoing discussion by the DCA Board regarding the effectiveness of Regions. 

- It was clarified that there were 2 candidates, Larry Gohlke and Robert Schwalbe, for the position of the 

TAC Secretary. 

General Discussion: 

1. Hunt Tests – There was discussion regarding Hunt Tests that have been held in 2007 and previous years. It 

was suggested that information be compiled as to participation of Dachshunds in Hunt Tests conducted around the 

country. There was a statement made by the TAC Chair that the Basset Club of America wants to involve other 

breeds in Hunt Tests so as to seek an AKC Title for this venue. Also, there was a request for Larry Gohlke to write 

an article about Hunt Tests. 

2. Judges Eligibility Requirements – There was a question as to the status of this issue. The TAC Chair advised 

that this issue has not been dropped and is still an ongoing concern to be discussed further. It was suggested that 

a proposal be developed to distribute for more discussion. 

3. The TAC Chair clarified that the TAC is an advisory committee and not a governing group. 

Unfinished Business: 

There was general discussion regarding Hunt Tests as previously addressed in these minutes. This issue was also 

discussed at the TAC Annual meeting in March 2007. 

New Business: 

There was discussion regarding conflicts in scheduling dates during 2007. It was decided that corresponding dates 

for events be published on a regular basis. 

There was discussion as to the feasibility of the field champion class becoming a non-regular class. This may 

eliminate the AKC recording fee. There needs to be more follow-up on this issue. 

There was a suggestion that the Earth Dog test be held prior to the field trials at the DCA Nationals. 

Meeting adjourned

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.

DCA COMMITTEES 

Last December, DCA Secretary Marlies Noll requested that DCA members who were interested in serving on or 

assisting with the work of the various DCA committees submit their names to the DCA board. The resulting pool 

of volunteers is currently being tapped by the committee chairs in the hope of better utilizing club members both 

as committee members and as assistants for the sometimes mountainous amount of work being done. The 

board is planning to make these requests annually, so be sure to look for them again this winter! 

As the committees were being reviewed and appointments made during its January meeting, the observation was 

made by the DCA Board that the structure of the Trial Advisory Committee as it has been written is inconsistent 

with the proper structure of a board committee as prescribed in our club bylaws. As an example, "committees" 

do not have "subcommittees" (such as TAC’s current "Executive Committee" is described) and there are only 

appointed members in a committee, not "elected" delegates. In order to correct the discrepancies identified, the 

DCA Board will be developing a new “structure and purpose” statement to bring the committee more in line with 

the bylaws. The purposes and associated work projects performed by the Trial Advisory Committee in the past 

are expected to continue without disruption. 

DCA PERFORMANCE EVENTS 

The DCA Performance Events list on Yahoo! Groups continues to grow. This list was established to foster direct 

communication between the DCA Board, the TAC, and those DCA members involved with field trials and 

earthdog tests. Please consider signing on if you are a DCA member. If you share an email address with 

another DCA member, you might consider getting a separate Yahoo! ID for each person so that the numbers 

associated with any list polls will more accurately reflect the opinions of the group’s members. This list is 

moderated in order to restrict content to matters directly pertaining to DCA. Individual or specialty club 

information and advertising are kept to a minimum. 

In addition to contacting individual members within DCA, TAC is also seeking ways to contact and / or poll the 

performance event community on a club by club basis. There is a plan to solicit input from Dachshund specialty 

club liasons designated by their respective boards. Information will be sent out to all the Dachshund club 

corresponding secretaries in the near future so please be aware and look out for its arrival. 

DCA Secretary Marlies Noll has a procedure in place for any clubs wishing to take over the corresponding date 

for a field trial from a DCA Regional event. In order for an individual specialty club to get its own trial approved on 

that date, DCA must notify AKC that it wishes to cancel its date. Contact Marlies at mdachs@aol.com for more 

information about this process. 

In January, the DCA board adopted a new policy whereby event applications submitted for DCA Regional shows, 

tests or trials will not be approved to the AKC if there are any outstanding fees due the DCA from any event held in 

your region. DCA currently requires a $1 per entry fee. All payments should be sent directly to DCA Treasurer 

Ken Levison. Also, each region should submit an annual financial report in order for a DCA tax report to be filed. 


GETTING THE WORD OUT! 

The DACHS-FIELD-EVENT-INFO@Yahoogroups.com list is a site specifically set up to post premium lists for 

upcoming field trials and earthdog tests. 

Carrie Hamilton will forward information about upcoming events to a private email list that includes over 200 

addresses of interested people from around the country. You may contact her at HAMILTCE@airproducts.com . 

It should be remembered that many of us :o) appreciate links to club or individual’s websites where 

announcements and premiums are posted rather than receiving large attachments directly. 

JoAnn Frier-Murza (digm2@aol.com) maintains a website with links for upcoming earthdog tests in the east – 

www.earthdog.info will link to the homepage of the Village Green Earthdog Center in New Jersey. Dennis 

Broderick maintains a website for earthdog tests held in the west (“and anyone else who asks”). Dennis’ website 

is located at http://www.duffyscavern.org/Earthe_dogges.html . 

There is a calendar feature on the DCA Performance Events list that we are attempting to utilize to help clubs 

plan their future events around a schedule that sometimes fluctuates from year to year. Please consider using it 

as it provides much more immediate notice than waiting on “The Voice” or the AKC website. 

NEW EARTHDOG BOOK PLANNED 

JoAnn Frier-Murza (digm2@aol.com) of Lothlorien Working Terriers and Dachshunds and the Village Green Farm 

Earthdog Center, NJ is working on the second edition of her book "Earthdog Ins & Outs" and would like to solicit 

input: 

"Making tunnels is always a question that new earthdoggers and new test committees want to know 

about. The AKC rules are specific about some components, but there are lots of possibilities as to 

how to accomplish the rest. Although the straight parts of the tunnels are pretty routine, the dogquarry 

end and the doors on top of the tunnels can vary a lot. If you have judged at an event where 

the tunnel design was especially well done, please let me know where it was. If you are part of a 

club committee who has thought hard to make tunnels that are versatile and useful, I can use your 

help. I can share these designs in a section of the book, and people will be able to see what has 

worked for your club and in our test environment. Drawings or photos of the designs and a 

description of any construction trick that isn't easy to figure out from the picture would be great. 

Explain why this design works so well for the judge, dog, and exhibitor. Make sure to let me know 

who or what club should be credited with the design and the pictures." 


PERFORMANCE JUDGES AND THE AKC 

Application Process for New Earthdog Event Judges 

From the AKC website: 

The AKC Performance Events Department announces a revised application process for prospective Earthdog 

judges. The process for becoming a judge begins by attending an Earthdog seminar taught by an AKC field 

representative. At the seminar, a Judges Application form will be handed out. It is the responsibility of the 

applicant to fill out the form as eligibility requirements are completed. Once all requirements have been met, the 

application form should be mailed to the Performance Events Department, 5580 Centerview Drive, Raleigh, NC 

27606. Upon verification of the information provided, the person will receive a judge's number, their name will 

appear in the Judges Online Directory on the AKC web site, and they will be approved to judge a licensed 

Earthdog event at the Junior Earthdog (JE) level. Additional apprenticeships at higher levels are required to judge 

at the Senior Earthdog and Master Earthdog level, but this is done after the initial application has been submitted. 

For information about upcoming Earthdog seminars, please click here. For additional questions, please contact 

Lisa Carroll at LAC@akc.org. 

JUDGES RECORDS AT AKC 

It was recently discovered that the judges' directory listed on the AKC website has been set up to "drop" names 

that have not shown any activity in a while. This was a program developed by the website managers to keep 

them from overloading the database. (It appears to be about 6 years of inactivity will cause a name to be 

dropped.) 

According to Lisa Carroll, AKC Performance Events Manager, this does not mean that people taken off the list will 

AUTOMATICALLY not be approved to judge again. A club wanting to hire a judge in this position would need to 

contact AKC Performance Events, much in the way we do now when getting earthdog judges approved for a 

higher class. Each case will then considered individually by her office. Suppose, for example, you want to hire a 

judge who has not done any judging for several or more years but had extensive experience prior to the lapse in 

assignments. In this case, the AKC may decide to either simply re-approve the judge or require that the judge 

takes a test (not necessarily a seminar) in order to demonstrate that their knowledge of the regulations is current. 

If a judge is not reapproved, it would most likely be because they had very limited experience prior to the lapse. 

Lisa mentioned that no where in the regulations does it stipulate that the AKC cannot impose additional 

restrictions on the judges' approval process and further noted that this policy is really being enforced from a 

"common sense" perspective. It is simply one way in which the AKC can uphold the expected standards for 

judges of their events. The AKC will always maintain its right to reserve approving judges “in house.” Individual 

judges should be aware of this policy and contact Lisa directly if they have questions. 

In light of this situation, earthdog test secretaries need to be reminded that unless a secretary’s report is 

submitted for the Introduction to Quarry non-regular class to the AKC (no recording fees required) then 

the judge is not credited with having had the assignment. 

Judges should periodically check and update inaccurate information posted on the AKC Judges Directory 

(http://www.akc.org/judges_directory/). Questions or corrections may be submitted to the Judges Operation 

Department for the appropriate performance event. For field trial and earthdog judges the addresses are listed 

below.

Trackers gather for the TD & TDX draws. Believe it or not … 

it was pitch black at 7 AM! 

Hospitality at its finest … Sandi Myers’ s 

“Tracking Brownie” complete with 

marzipan Dachshund, flags and glove was 

a big hit at lunch! 

Ken Hagmueller and DC Nexi’s Lone Star Express ML 

CD drew the first TD track. 

Two of the qualifiers at the DCA National Tracking Dog Test – 

Cindi Todd with CH Laci’s Seamus Harper MW OA OAJ AXP 

AJP TD and Jean Dieden with his seven month old son, 

Hathor Farms Great Balls of Wire TD – pose with Judges 

Sharon Jolly and Sally Elkins. 


After 4 days of tracking in the DFW metroplex, things moved on to Ladonia … 

The Oscar Oasis at the Lone Star Dachshund Conservancy in Ladonia, Texas. This pavilion was built in memory of FC 

Longtime's Oscar Von Zimmer JE and served as our clubhouse during the national field and earthdog events. 

Ashley Dumas and Trial Secretary Mary Powell brace the 

dogs for the host club trial… 

And they’re off … 

…while the assembled crowd scribbles names – happy 

to have some shelter from the elements! 


… after the bunnies! Above Kathy Johnson releasing Pi. 

Placing dogs in DFW’s OAAD stake enjoy the nice weather 

while it lasted. 

Pam Bethke’s Brick in full pursuit. 

DFW’s FCD stake winners… …and FCB stake winners. 

The winners in DFW’s OAAB stake were all miniatures, 

too. 


And then the weather got worse … sleet and ice 

moved in. This icicled sign greeted arriving field 

trialers on Friday morning. 

Pam Reed had a very good day, though. She is shown 

here accepting 3rd and 4th place ribbons from DCA Open 

All Age Bitch stake Judges Larry Innis and Ashley Dumas. 

Absolute Winner at the DFWDC (Host Club) Field Trial, 

FC Ana Maria v Czar SW, with owner Judy Gallamore 

and Judges Robert Schwalbe and Larry Innis. 

Also shown are Ashley Dumas and DFWDC’s new 

challenge trophy. “Dancing with Angels”, a Garry 

Newton limited edition bronze, which is offered by the 

Dallas-Fort Worth Dachshund Club and Ashley Dumas 

in memory of Ryan aka DC Can CH Valona's Orion CD 

CGC CG (6/6/1991 - 4/1/2004) for his contributions to the 

roots of Dachshund field trials in the South. Judy and 

Ms. Ana were the first to stake a claim on this lovely 

piece! 

The pavilion was a popular spot. – Even Ann Steele’s Gator 

appreciated the portable heaters. Conditions were too harsh for 

outside group photos during the National Field Trial. Like the 

folks pictured below, everyone was cold and … and by Friday’s 

end … quite soggy! 

A feat equaled by Pam Bethke in the DCA Open All Age 

Dog stake. 


Claire Mancha & Veela of Portland, Oregon (shown receiving 

an Award of Merit from the DCA FCB stake judges) were 

among those who traveled the furthest to reach Ladonia. 

The week concluded with two days of earthdog tests, and the 

weather improved at last. Jean Dieden judging Senior at the 

DFWDC test while steward Laura Knoll looks on. 

Karen Graham with FC Karen's Dappled Cinderella CD 

MX AXJ JE who earned a SE leg at the DCA test. 

So, too, were Sherry Ruggieri and Auggie of Mantua, 

New Jersey (shown here receiving an Award of Merit 

in the DCA FCD stake from Judge Robert Schwalbe). 

Larry Innis retrieving Chip aka DC Penni’s Chipotle 

Pepper SL RN JE from the Senior tunnel. 

The sun finally returned on Sunday afternoon much to 

the delight of DCA’s JE exhibitors.

A new section of "The Voice" where editorials and commentary may be posted. 

Before being considered for publication, all articles must be submitted to the 

Trial Advisory Committee and will be reviewed for content by the three 

members of the committee. 

FIELD CHAMPION STAKES 

The January issue of the Voice contained an opinion piece submitted by Sherry Ruggieri entitled “Oh Split!." 

This article provided encouragement for clubs to make the decision to run both Field Champion Dog and Field 

Champion Bitch stakes, rather than a Combined Field Champion stake. Then "Voice" editor Larry Gohlke 

allowed that counter arguments would be entertained in subsequent issues. To that end, we submit a sampling 

of comments received by the TAC. Some correspondents requested to remain anonymous. 

“My club divided the FC stake when we had few rabbits, but prefers to run field champions as a combined 

stake.” 

“There is extra difficulty in finding field champion judges – it’s even harder when you split the stakes. There is 

also the extra fee for judges / prizes / rosettes (Not to mention judges' meals) to consider when you are the one 

assuming financial responsibility to your club.” 

"The field champion stake should be a competitive one among field champions, otherwise we should be talking 

about a Bitch Field Champion and a Dog Field Champion title." 

“The simple preference to finish a trial earlier in the day is also not a reason to split unless it is necessary.” 

From Patt Nance: 

The Voice 

Forum 

“Regarding the splitting of Field Champion stakes, my perspective is different than the thoughtful, wellarticulated 

article published in the last Voice. (Splitting FC stakes, of course, refers to running Field 

Champions in classes divided by sex - FC Dogs, FC Bitches - instead of as one combined-sex class.) 

The effect of advocating for division of all Field Champion stakes, if not the intent, is a push toward the 

'generic' field trial. I am hoping we will avoid that. 

I like that some clubs split the Field Champion classes for I find smaller classes and more placement 

opportunities very enjoyable. 

And I like that some clubs run Field Champions as combined stakes, too, for I relish opportunities to win 

or place in large classes and find them very enjoyable. 

(And I like the Michigan weekend where there is one trial over two days and the Buckeye weekend that 

puts a special spotlight on Field Champions...) 

All weekends, with their various grounds, judges, trial committees, and competitors, are fun but I think 

it adds to the flavor when trials and classes are different beyond those entities. I appreciate the 'spice to 

the sport' added when clubs are willing to do things differently. 

Please, let us not advocate for sameness throughout. I, for one, enjoy a little field trial variety.” 


HUNT TEST FOR DACHSHUNDS 

There has been interest in the development of a hunt test program for Dachshunds for some years. Here is 

Cheri Faust's report about one group's efforts (quite possibly the first) to actually come up with a prototypical 

format. Others are welcome to submit comments and any ideas they may be developing. 

Background 

Briefly, about ten years ago, the Dachshund Club of America was approached by the Basset Hound Club of 

America with the idea of establishing a hunt test for scent hounds that might develop into an AKC-recognized 

event. In 1998, the BHCA developed test regulations and established a BHCA titling program. DCA, through 

the Trial Advisory Committee, discussed the hunt test program in 2003 and 2004, but did not follow-up with 

plans for a Dachshund hunt test program. In the meantime, Dachshunds were participating in BHCA hunt tests, 

although tests were and are few and far between. 

Current 

Following BHCA hunt tests in 2006 and 2007 in Ladonia, Texas, there was an interest expressed by Dachshund 

participants for more opportunities to work with their dogs using the hunt test format. Current BHCA regulations 

require that the test secretary be a BHCA member, which made it problematic for Dachshund owners to host 

BHCA hunt tests. So, with the intention of exposing more people to the hunt test concept, guidelines for a 

Dachshund test were established under the name of the non-member, non-organizationally affiliated “Texas 

Hunting Hounds”. While loosely based on the BHCA regulations, the THH guidelines are less rigid in terms of 

administrative procedure, simplify the judging and scoring of dogs to a pass/fail basis, and make voicing and gun 

steadiness optional designations rather than requirements. Anyone wanting to hold hunt tests for Dachshunds 

in their area may use these guidelines or modify them in any way they like – the idea is to give the hunt test a 

try! The people that I’ve spoken with have been very enthusiastic about the format, and like the emphasis 

placed on handlers working cooperatively with their dogs throughout the test, as well as the opportunity to have 

their dogs tested on a solo basis without the influence of a brace mate. 

THH Statistics 

To date, four hunt tests have been held, with a total of 76 dogs tested. Breeds participating to-date include 

Dachshunds, Basset Hounds and Petit Basset Griffon Vendeens. Beagles are also eligible to participate. 

39 of the 56 dogs tested passed in the Solo format. 

12 of the 20 dogs tested passed in the 2-Pack format. 

No dogs have been tested in the 4-Pack format. 

20 of the 76 dogs tested were recognized for the proper use of voice on rabbit scent. 

42 of the dogs that opted to be tested were recognized for gun steadiness.
