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.

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! |

Rescue Committee – A message from Drake’s new Family
![]() Pat and Pete had made considerable progress with Drake, but when I got him he still had many trust issues. These issues are slowly melting away. For example, when we first got him home he would not allow us to touch him in any way. In order to put a leash on him we sometimes had to resort to cornering him, but now Drake will come when called and most of the time allows you to clip his leash on. Drake enjoys going on walks and surprisingly walks very nicely on a leash. I know that Drake has accepted me…. he follows me everywhere and allows me to pet him (90% of the time). This weekend he made amazing progress. 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)
Drake is a smart, playful and sometimes mischievous boy and we are all enjoying watching him bloom into a really fine dog. We would like to thank everyone involved in his rescue and allowing us to bring him into our family. |
