6 The AKC receives several media requests per month and often, they are breed specific. While we have a team that possesses a thorough amount of knowledge, we believe it is pertinent to have experts on each breed that can provide media and the public with clear and factual information pertaining to their breed and also help with corrections to breed information. To that effect, the AKC Communications is asking for you to submit the names and contact information for two experts from your club. One expert should be for breed characteristics and the other should be focused on health and testing. Ideally these individuals would be comfortable speaking with the media themselves and AKC will provide basic talking points and strategy on how to speak to the media. However, if they do not prefer to speak to the media directly, we would like to be able to call on them for expert advice and to approve quotes or provide written content. Feel free to provide back-up contacts for each expert. We greatly appreciate your help in our efforts to make sure every breed is accurately represented in the media and to the general public. Please send the names of the designated liaisons and their contact information ( and phone number) to Communications@akc.org with your breed s name in the subject line. Please only send one response per club. We would like all responses submitted by July 1. Best Regards, AKC Communications Page 6 of 44

11 View online version AKC Reviews Changes to the Obedience Stay Exercises The AKC convened a task force of five judges, exhibitors and trainers to explore changes that could maximize safety, while still testing the important aspect of the "stay" skill. Mindful of the concerns and suggestions sent to the AKC from all sectors of the sport, the Task Force members spent three days exploring and formulating changes. In today's culture of diverse dog training methods and philosophies that variously impact the behavior of dogs coming to trials, the AKC recognizes exhibitor concerns for stronger safety measures to protect all dogs from interference of any kind in the ring during competition. At the same time, there is also a strong consensus in the sport that the impulse control and obedience demonstrated in group stays must be preserved. The committee s work resulted in the following recommendations: The creation of new individual exercises for Novice and Open that will test a stay with distance between dog and handler. That one group exercise be retained in Novice that will test both sit and down stays in the presence of other dogs, with spacing and leash use to ensure safety, and a formation option that will allow up to ten dogs in the ring. That open out-of-sight stays be replaced by an individual exercise also testing sit and down skills, and a command discrimination exercise that will demonstrate steadiness and obedience at a distance with skills performed in place. For Open A dogs the exercise creates a stepping stone toward Utility. For the Open B dogs, a randomized order of skills is designed to challenge experienced teams at least as much as the group exercises do now. The recommended changes will streamline scheduling for judges, reduce conflicts for exhibitors showing multiple dogs, and maintain a level of challenge appropriate to the class. With more confidence in their dogs safety in the ring, we hope that concerned owners will reengage in AKC obedience and feel inspired to pursue their goals. More details will be published when descriptions have been fine-tuned by AKC. It is anticipated this will occur around the beginning of September. Please share this information with your membership.
