Potomac Valley Standard Schnauzer Club The PVSSC is the American Kennel Club (AKC) recognized Standard Schnauzer Club for the Washington D.C. Area. The PVSSC formed in 1962 to serve as a regional specialty club for the promotion of the Standard Schnauzer for the Washington Metropolitan area (Northern Virginia and the Maryland suburbs as well as Washington DC). Each year, the PVSSC sponsors an AKC sanctioned match and a regional specialty, tattoo clinics, herding tests, lure-coursing, obedience run-throughs and a number of social events, as well as interesting programs at club meetings. Additionally, the PVSSC holds activities to introduce the Standard Schnauzer to the public, places homeless SS in new homes, provides breed information and puppy referrals. We have a monthly newsletter, the Wiretap, which contains timely information, article and club notices, and a on-line store selling schnauzer related items. The PVSSC Rules have been compiled into a 2 page document available in PDF format. Click the link below to see the rules. You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader.

August 2008 Match Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!! This is a heartfelt thank you for helping to make the 2008 Match a big success. It could not have been without your help. Katie Emanuel (our confirmation judge) commented that we "sure know how to have a good time" and asked that she be invited back to judge again. The obedience judge would also like to judge our dogs again. Again, thanks for the team effort in making the Match a success for our club and members. I would like to give a special thank you to all the volunteers that made the 2008 Match successful: Barry Cooper, Jay and Melissa Jennings, Brenda Kibler, Karen Ioffredo, Michelle Root, Gail Mackiernan, Ed Sakala, Nancy Shriner, Cindy Millard, Chuck Gault, Rose Miller as well as all our participants, in particular our canine friends. It's all about them!! ~ Judy

PVSSC MEMBERS SCORE
AT WORLD DOG SHOW!
|
A cadre of PVSSC’ers journeyed to the World Dog Show in Stockholm Sweden
in early July. Georgia Sabean, Jean Gillen, Joy Roth, Val Yantz, Bob and
Linda Dobbie and Gail Mackiernan were all guests of Boel Niklasson (Argenta
SS) and her family. They were joined there by Gayle and Kayce Stillwell,
former PVSSC members, from Florida. Pat White also attended, staying
with her friend Pia Anderson (Scarlight SS). Four dogs also came along
to compete. The World Dog Show is one of the largest canine competitions each year, the 2008 entry was 23,000 dogs judged over four days, in conformation, obedience, agility and freestyle. SS were judged on July 3. There were actually three shows, July 2 was the Swedish Pinscher-Schnauzer Club show and July 4 the Swedish Standard Schnauzer Club Specialty. All had large entries of SS in both colors (which are judged separately). The Specialty Circuit shows were held outside at a polo grounds and the WDS in the huge Stockholm Exhibition Hall. Member’s dogs did very well indeed! We will have a full report (with photos) next month, but a brief summary is warrented as this is HOT NEWS! WORLD DOG SHOW: Ch. Asgard Oriana Zezanna (Sabean & Gillen) was first in Open, best non-Champion bitch and received the CAC certificate for her Swedish Championship. Halcyon’s Raggedy Ann (White) was Junior World Winner Bitch 2008 SWEDISH STANDARD SCHNAUZER CLUB SHOW Halcyon’s Raggedy Ann (White) was Best Junior in Show (both colors). These dogs plus Linda Dobbie’s Centara Double Dare and Joy Roth and Val Yantz’s Ch. Von Roth’s Jump’n Jack Flash received "Excellent" ratings in tough competition.

Rescue Committee - A message from Drake's new Family
|
|
In November I started looking around on the
internet for a Standard Schnauzer that could be a playmate for my 4 year
old Standard Schnauzer Zee. Much to my surprise I found an article on
the Potomac Valley Standard Schnauzer Club web site that a SS had been
rescued from a puppy mill and needed a home. On the web site was a
picture of Drake and a description. Drake seemed to be the perfect
playmate for Zee so I contacted Pat and Pete White and I was delighted
to hear that Drake was still available for adoption.
I had been working on training him to sit
and much to my surprise he did his first unassisted sit, I was thrilled
and I gave him many treats to celebrate the occasion. You could see on
his face how very proud he was of this accomplishment. (See photo) |
