Patty Pace reviewed the Premium List for the May dog show
and asked for someone to
step up to be Vendor Chair. We
anticipate that someone will offer to help coordinate the vendors by the next
meeting.
Patty turned the meeting over to the newly elected
President for 2022, Jane Hammett Bright.
An application was approved for new members James, Erica,
and John Brody, who have Pembroke Welsh Corgis.
Karolynne McAteer asked that we review our charities, for
year 2022, and that we catch up on charitable donations not written for
2021. She asked that Take the Lead
receive their check as soon as possible, as they are hosting a major
fundraising event at the Raleigh shows in March. Karolynne also mentioned that she’d like to visit the
police departments of Southern Pines and Pinehurst to speak with the police
chiefs, and possibly the canine handlers, about funding a new dog via the AKC
Adopt a k9Cop program. It is a
terrific offer that comes via AKC REUNITE to have the local dog clubs
donate/raise $2,500 per dog and Reunite will kick in the remaining $7,500. Regardless of the outcome of that
conversation, MCKC will
send, as usual, checks for $1,000 to each of the two police stations (both of
whom have police dogs.)
There was a discussion about Juniors, and the AKC
suggestion that every club
have a Juniors Liaison focused on getting Juniors into our membership. Information will be provided to
Jane, by Karolynne, to get the ball rolling. There is also a very good book on the 4H
presence in dogs, and we will get that book as well.
Ellen Pfann will
update the officers and directors list and send the new list to AKC and update
the website. Ellen asked that everyone send her their brags so she will have
material for the BARKER.
Betty Chapman reported on the treasury and said there has
not been much activity this first month, but she expects more with Agility
checks coming in, and the start of vendors booking space for the MCKC show. Betty
reports that the treasury is strong.
There was a discussion, led by Ursula Walsh, on locations
for the upcoming Agility trials, and she will keep us posted.
Meeting was adjourned at 7:05PM.

SENIOR HUNTER PIPER!
Kathy Scheidemann's Golden Retriever, Piper, earned her fourth pass in Senior Hunter. She is now Sandpiper's Golden Button SH, owned by Kathy and bred by Patty Pace.
ADOPT A K-9 COP
Through the Canine Support and Relief Fund, AKC Reunite works with AKC Clubs to donate K-9 police dogs to police departments around the United States. Many police department K-9 units are suffering budget cuts and they are unable to solicit money due to town and municipality codes. The donations from AKC Reunite and AKC Clubs allow the police department’s need for a new K-9 to become a reality. READ MORE HERE
AKC REUNITE encourages local dog clubs like MCKC to donate/raise $2,500 per dog and Reunite will kick in the remaining $7,500. Regardless of the outcome of that conversation, MCKC will send, as usual, checks for $1,000 to each of the two police stations (both of whom have police dogs.)

NEWS FROM THE BIERERS. HUG YOUR DOGS.
We still have a hard time believing that our “Cody” GCH Victory’s Kodiak Grin and Bear It CDX JH WC is gone. The cancer was fast and furious. He was diagnosed on November 10th. On November 11th, my field training group met and Cody got to do what he loved most, retrieve ducks. That afternoon, I held him tight as we said good bye. Cody was just 8 years old, the first we lost so young, and my first that left so much undone. We had started entering Senior Hunt Tests and Utility Obedience Trials. Fall was to be the culmination of years of work. Sadly, not to be.
This was shortly after we had lost Rudy, our Hall of Fame dog, and we really weren’t emotionally ready for a puppy yet. You know how that goes.
We visited the litter at week 8 and took pick of litter, Mr. Orange, home with us. “Peat,” now CH Victory’s Scotch N Soda CD JH, has made it all so much better. He is 80 pounds of lap dog, beautiful, smart and talented.
Peat finished his championship on his first birthday and followed shortly after with obedience and hunt titles. He brings us joy with his silly Flat-Coat antics and he is our devoted companion.

VENDOR CHAIR VOLUNTEER NEEDED!
Each Year, MCKC Offsets Dog Show Costs By Bringing in Vendors
And every year, the Dog Show max's out its Vendor Space -- because it is a Win-Win proposition! For a small fee, we rent out an area for them to sell their wares --- at an event that saw 1200 dogs each day in 2021.
OVERVIEW OF RESPONSIBILITY:
- Contacting last year's vendors and asking if they'd like to repeat (most of our vendors are repeats).
- Distributing and overseeing the signing of Vendor Contract.
- Answering questions.
- Prospecting new vendors if needed.
- Coordinating with the Show Committee and Chair.
- Working with Patty Pace to "learn the ropes."
If you have questions or interest, please contact Patty Pace.

Rescue Hounds Available
Naomi Johnson says:
I have 2 sweet, gentle, wonderful hound girls looking for homes. They came from terrible, neglectful conditions, and we rescued them from Hoke County Animal Shelter where they'd been for almost 5 months.
Both are housebroken, great with dogs, cats, kids, walk well on a lead, and are learning basic commands. We had them spayed and treated for heartworm. Tally (with toys) is 6-8 years old and badly needed a dental. Maddie (with cat) is 2-3 years old.
If you are interested in either of them (or know anyone who might be) please call Naomi at (910) 528-6588.
