12 United Doberman Club th Anniversary Recap by Chris Rasmussen Photos by Alissa Weaver except where noted. The 25th Anniversary of the UDC national was held in Winchester, Ky., from April 14 through 19, Winchester is a town with rolling bluegrass fields and huge horse breeding and training farms. Kentucky is also home to many bourbon distilleries; hence, our logo featuring blue skies, an oak barrel and a bottle of bourbon sporting a custom 25th Anniversary UDC National label with beautiful doberman heads flanking the upper corners of the label. The first part of the week took place at the Clark County Fairgrounds. We had the use of a building for our meeting and banquet space, and we had access to several covered arenas generally used for livestock shows. The weather was not in our favor at the beginning of the week the rain was just pouring down and had been for several days, making even the covered areas muddy and slick. The Temperament Tests were run outside in the largest area in the morning, judged by Ms. Nazarene Mondello. By that afternoon, the wind and rain together had us pleading to the fairgrounds manager to let us use the building for the afternoon conformation show. We were thrilled to have that option at the last minute, and all participants helped move tables and chairs to create an impromptu ring indoors. The first conformation show had about 40 entries, and was judged by Dr. James Edwards. Dr. Edwards is not new to UDC conformation, having judged for a regional event several years ago for the Working Dobermanns of the Carolinas. We enjoyed his critiques and helpful comments, and we finished up the day nice and dry. Wednesday morning found the rain was still lingering, so the obedience trial was held under cover of one of the pavilions. We had one of the best turnouts for obedience trials in the history of the UDC national, with 15 competitors in each trial! One of the south s favorite AKC obedience judges, Victoria Brown, had flown in from Virginia the prior day and, as always, she was quick to smile and was very fair in her scores. The second conformation show, also with about 40 entries, was judged after obedience by Nancy Christensen. With the weather finally relenting some, we were able to continue outside. The livestock pavilions were set up perfectly for running a show. At the end of the ring was an elevated stand, complete with electrical outlets it was perfect for setting up our portable speaker system and allowing the show paperwork to be done easily and effectively as the conformation show progressed. We felt truly lucky to have such a great set up for our conformation shows. Judge Nancy Christensen was one of the founding members of the UDC. How lucky we were to have her for our 25th Anniversary event! Thursday s events included the Breed Survey with four entries, judged by another of our founding members, Ray Carlisle. Thursday also saw our second obedience trial, again judged by Victoria Brown. During the day on Thursday, scheduled practice times for IPO were being held at Dragonsmeade Morgan Horse Farm, the site for all phases of the IPO trial. The national helpers were available to work competitors dogs. Each competitor was given 15 minutes for obedience and 15 minutes for protection practice on the trial field, which for a nationallevel IPO trial is a good amount of time. All the competitors were very respectful of each other s time slots, and practice went very smoothly. Continued on page uniteddobermanclub.com UDC Focus Winter 2015

National Recap continued from page 12 The banquet and IPO draw was held at the fairgrounds in the Expo building. We were able to bring our own wine and beer, which was a very nice perk of our location. The food was catered by the same folks who provided lunch during the week, and the food and service were both excellent. We had tables set up with items donated for the silent auction. Everything from dog beds to leashes to baskets of dog goodies to VWD DNA tests that were donated and auctioned off. As usual, there was a fair amount of people lurking around the items they wanted to be the highest bidder on, and there was some fierce bidding on several Photo by Monica Anthony items. This year, we offered the ability to pay using credit cards via Square, so that was a huge boost to the bidding activity when folks realized they didn t need cash or a checkbook! Many, many thanks to all who participated by either donating or bidding or both. A great time was had by all! After the SAR presentation, the IPO draw took place. With 10 IPO entries and five BH entries, we had the largest IPO field to date at a UDC national. Friday morning, tracking started at Dragonsmeade Morgan Horse Farm. Acres and acres of bluegrass fields were available for tracking, and the weather was gorgeous. Mid-calf level, thick green grass provided the best tracking conditions in the United States in April! We were so lucky! Due to the monsoon weather earlier in the week, we did have a fair amount of walking to get to the fields from where we could park our vehicles. Our judge, Carla Griffith, was such a good sport working with our track layers, Ray Jeffers and Darren Sims. We re sure that more than once Ms. Griffith had a few thoughts about how it might have been nice to see a golf cart out there, but really, even 4WD golf carts might have gotten stuck in the mud as well. Friday afternoon we were back at the trial field with BHs. We had several folks who were trying for their first BH ever, so they had to take the BH written exam first. The crowd cheered the BH exhibitors for their efforts, and several were rewarded with new BHs! Saturday morning we started IPO obedience followed by protection. An intense battle for high IPO 3 had the crowd glued to the sidelines, watching every move of every dog. Our judge seemed to have as great a time judging as our spectators had watching. Ms. Griffith was always smiling, always friendly. Of special note: The trophies throughout the week and at the IPO trial were definitely something to write home about. Pieces of either silverplate or crystal, engraved with the UDC logo and the 25th Anniversary emblem, were befitting of such a high-quality national experience.

16 United Doberman Club National Obedience Trials by Beth Bishop, 2015 National Obedience Chair Photos by Alissa Weaver Some of the many awards given at national. Makayla King competing with Eclipse s Kaymen Chaser. This was the first obedience trial held under the new UDC obedience regulations. Jump heights were lowered and the rules updated to reflect rules of other organizations, including AKC. Also, a new titling class was added: Beginner Novice. This class is a good way to start a Doberman in obedience since the majority of the class is done on lead. We had our largest obedience entry yet! There were 15 dogs were entered in each trial: 10 in Novice B, three in Beginner Novice B and two in Beginner Novice A. The trials were held on the mornings of April 15 and April 16. The weather was dreary, especially on April 15, but the show was held in a covered and fenced pavilion. It was easy to watch the dogs, and the footing was good. Although the pavilion was for livestock, it hadn t been used since the previous fall, and there were no strong distractions. The trophies were outstanding, and the winners were thrilled. The first day, two dogs showed and qualified in Beginner Novice A. First place went to Lothlorien s Avari the Dark Elf and owner Bunny Lanning with a score of 198 ½. Three dogs showed and qualified in Beginner Novice B. Lennox dei Dohse BH and owner Erika Mintess took first place with a score of 194. Nine dogs showed in Novice B and seven qualified. First place and High in Trial went to Blue Chip Brick Road V Enchant IPO1, UDX, OM2 and owner Pam Burns with a score of 198. Note that the new rules specify that Beginner Novice scores are not eligible for High in Trial. The new rules do provide for a special award, Highest Scoring Veteran in Trial, and that went to CH Chaos vom Koby Haus IPO3, FH2, AD, CD and owner Loel Turpin with a score of 195.

Again we had two dogs showing in Beginner Novice A, with first place going to Lothlorien s Avari the Dark Elf and owner Bunny Lanning with a score of 198 ½.

Again, Highest Scoring Veteran in Trial went to CH Chaos vom Koby Haus IPO3, FH2, AD, CD and owner Loel Turpin with a score of 187. Our obedience judge, Vicky Brown, did a wonderful job. What a competent judge and such a pleasant person to interact with. Thanks to all the UDC members who stepped in to help when needed; it was greatly appreciated. Thanks to all of the competitors who entered and exhibited. It was truly inspiring to see these Dobermans work in the obedience ring. I am hopeful that with the addition of the Beginner Novice Class and the modernization of the obedience regulations that more clubs will offer UDC Obedience Trials. Canine Good Citizen Evaluation. I had the pleasure of testing seven Dobermans and their owners at the national. Big thanks go to Nazarene Mondello for helping me with the test. Congratulations to these seven new Doberman Canine Good Citizens and their owners: Navistar s Cruise Control and Debbie Hartzell; Navistar Swift Run Nadia and Debbie Hartzell; Treasure Seeker s Absolute Gem and Leslie Carpenter; Phinn de Dohse and Alissa Weaver; Lothlorien Zirak-Zigil and Carma Cleveland; Rebholzer Moon Stalker and Traci Mulligan; and Maxi vom Landgraf and Pete Lindic. New UDC CD Titles.

Congratulations to all participants! United Doberman Club SAR Activities at National by Irene Korotev, Missouri Search and Rescue K-9 There was a full slate of search and rescue activities offered at the Winchester, Ky., show, including the presentation of the Service Dog of the Year. Wendy Ewing s partner, Billy, was presented the award at the banquet. This charismatic therapy dog showed his special skills by charming everyone with his loving personality. See Billy s story on page 20. The demonstrations featured hands-on participation for the attendees. These included stretching and conditioning exercises designed to keep any dog in good working shape and extend its working life; puppy testing for SAR featured a video presentation of the temperament testing done on a litter of pups, showing how the testing relates to the requirements of the different SAR specialties; the session Can My Dog Do SAR helped interested participants take their dogs through some SAR basics and test their aptitude. Actual training activities occurred each day at various sites on the fair grounds and in town. These training sessions at various locales were publicly posted and interested observers were encouraged to attend. SAR training sessions included this one at a local school, where the dogs were given permission to work one afternoon. Photos by Mike and Tina Morey 18 uniteddobermanclub.com UDC Focus Winter 2015

20 United Doberman Club UDC Service Dog of the Year Sterling Blue Sky... Billy Blue Owner: Wendy Ewing Sire: Roeckl s Black Jake Dam: Sterling Kiss Me Kate UDC # DOB: 1/25/05 AKC WS Breeder: Kevin Roeckl The United Doberman Club was truly honored to award the 2015 UDC Service Dog of Year Award to Wendy Ewing and Billy Blue. Billy is an amazing dog and a true example of abilities and needs filled by our awesome Doberman breed. Congratulations Wendy and Billy! Billy was certified as an air scent dog with Middle Creek Search and Rescue in March 2008, where he helped on numerous missions. He was, and continues to be in his retirement, a wonderful demo dog, and loves showing off his trained signal to alert me when he has located the lost person. Billy was Delta Certified in 2007, which was subsequently replaced by PAWS (Pet- Assisted Visitation Volunteer Services) Certification in 2009, so that as a team we could make greater contributions in serving our community. Billy started his reading career in 2010 and now visits two libraries on a regular schedule, to the delight of many children and their families. Children love to read to Billy, and during these past five years he has impacted and touched many children and adults. Billy is also a welcome volunteer at Willow Tree Hospice, doing therapy work and bringing comfort and love to patients at the end of their lives at two local nursing homes. Connecting with special-needs children is another one of Billy s specialties. For more than three years, Billy has been visiting classrooms for autistic and special-needs children where the teachers implement individualized education programs, using Billy to help reach specific goals with each child. A highlight of one of these unique relationships is a young girl that Billy visited one-on-one for many months, resulting in a measurable improvement in her communication skills with each visit: counting his toes, brushing him over and over, and enjoying her private version of hide and seek after discovering that Billy would eagerly find toys that she had hidden for him. Another little boy s mother wrote to PAWS about Billy s impact on her son s life: I just wanted to thank you for having Billy Blue visit my son at his school. He has visited on several occasions, and Eddie is always so excited to see him. Eddie has an incurable disease that causes seizures and autistic behavior. This dog always makes him smile, and he gets so excited. He points to the (picture) card (that Wendy gives to each child after every visit) and says Blue. I wanted to and thank you for the wonderful work you do making a little boy and his mommy s difficult life a little easier. Keep up the good work. The teacher who works with these children on a daily basis says, Billy is amazing with these special-needs children. He is very gentle, discerning and alert to their individual needs and preferences and always loving them beyond their limitations. Billy brings these special children opportunities for adventure, discovery and great joy. It is an incredible privilege to work with him and watch him transform lives infused with new hope and confidence. Here is an excerpt from Willow Tree Hospice s recommendation letter: During the past year, Billy was asked to visit with one of our hospice patients who was living in a continuing care community with her husband. When Billy met her, she had Billy Blue been moved from her home with her husband to the dementia unit on the same campus. Her husband visited her daily. They owned many dogs as family pets and participated in volunteer work with various dog rescues and advocacy groups. Quickly upon meeting Billy and Wendy, both the patient and her husband fell in love. Billy offered a quiet, gentle presence, lying quietly at her feet, allowing the patient to pet him. Billy provided not only comfort, but memories of her own pets and an opportunity to share her stories. Reminiscing is said to be one of the rights of a dying patient. Billy offered that by creating a relaxed and comfortable environment. Comfort is the primary goal of the hospice philosophy. Another key to Billy s success as a therapy dog is that he offers an openness that encourages any resident who puts out a hand to pet him that opportunity. This requires a lot on the part of the dog in that many patients use potentially scary walkers or wheelchairs. Alarms and bells sound, and some patients may be minimally responsive or loudly exuberant in their greetings. Billy allows all, no matter what the situation, to relax and find comfort in his presence. Willow Tree Hospice is very fortunate to have Billy and Wendy as a pet therapy team. They embody the qualities that the hospice philosophy is built upon. As an ambassador for Dobermans, Billy has been an outstanding example. He continues to show his solid temperament, steady personality and amazing presence in so many situations. He benefits all of us and the Doberman breed every day. 20 uniteddobermanclub.com UDC Focus Winter 2015

26 United Doberman Club National IPO Championship by Tammy Marshall Weldon, IPO Chair Photos by Monica Anthony except where noted. Gleena vom Dagonerich with helper Darren Simms Friday, April 17, was the opening of the UDC IPO National Championship. The location was the famous Dragonsmeade Morgan Horse Farm in Winchester, Ky. With acres of rolling bluegrass hillside, the tracking fields provided enough space to accommodate the very large entry of competitors. The week started with so much rain, but the skies cleared in time for our Grand Finale. Thank you to our tracklayers Darren Simms and Ray Jeffers. They volunteered hours of their time to lay tracks and do countless other jobs throughout the entire national week. Thank you cannot convey how much their help was appreciated. Congratulations to MaKayla King on achieving the FH with 75 points and earning High FH with her dog Eclipse s Kaymen Chaser IPO2 CD WAC BSA-VG2A CGC ATT. Nazarene Mondello and DRU s Chloe V Moss Hill BH earned the FPr1 with 84 points. Monica Anthony earned the FPr2 and High FPr with 97 points with Riva von Luka BH BN IPO1 FPr1 IPO-VO RN WAC CGC CGN.

27 The Working Dobermanns of the Carolinas thank all who were part of making this year s national great, one that will be remembered! We had one of the highest entries in all venues of any UDC National. So many were part of making this national a success: Those who worked to exhaustion, supported the show with entries, made donations to the silent auction and gave generously to the Trophy Fund. Then there were those who were unable to attend but still gave their donations and support on FB. ALL of this is what makes a great national, and make us proud to be members of the United Doberman Club! WDC applauds and thanks all of you! YOU are the ones who made this an event to remember!

28 IPO continued from page 26 Summer Melillo with Jett von Pontiffhaus CD BH OAJ RN NA WAC IPO1 NF RS-O JS-E GS-E AD got 83 points for their IPO2 track. Jonathan Alvarez with Dark Nemo vom Koby Haus IPO3 earned 82 points on their IPO3 track. Our judge, Carla Griffith, was a real trooper to walk the vast acres of tracks. By lunchtime, she and I both wished that we had Uncle Gene s golf cart for transportation. After lunch there were five dogs trialing for their BH. The BH stands for Begleithund, which is German for Companion Dog. There are two parts to the test. Part 1 consists of an obedience portion. If the dog passes Part 1, then it participates in the traffic portion of the test. The dog must demonstrate proper control and temperament to earn the BH title. And all dogs must pass the BH to continue on to the other IPO titles. The dogs that earned their BHs were Dura Lex Polonia Hans Czajkowski with owner Bogdan Czajkowski, Navistar Swift Run Nadia with owner Debbie Hartzell, Dekes von Moeller Hof with owner Lisa Mayhew, and Talane s Twilight Astonishing Aerabella with owner Tammy Rush. At the end of a long day, Loel Turpin graciously took our judge, Carla, to sightsee across our beautiful Kentucky countryside. The Amish are known for their exemplary leather work. There is nothing like having good leather for our working dogs. Saturday morning we started the day with the two IPO1 obedience dogs. Jason Bane and Gleena vom Dragonereich earned 81 points. Scott Severs and Otchi von Warringhof earned 84 points. The IPO2 entries were Chris Rasmussen with Cabo vom Moeller Hof, getting 75 in obedience. Summer Melillo and Jett von Pontiffhaus earned 87 points for their obedience routine. There were five IPO3 entries. Their obedience scores were: 74 points for Leslie Carpenter and Morgana s Irresistible Treasure, 91 points for Ally Smith and Ascomannis Tarzan, 87 points for Jonathan Alvarez and Dark Nemo vom Koby Haus, 93 points for Robert Marrone and Egon von Schlottke, and 93 points for Scott Severs and Khan von Warringhof. Our last phase of the competition was protection. Helpers were Darren Simms and David Cobb. Darren Simms did the IPO1s, IPO2s and the front half of the IPO3s. David Cobb did the back half of the IPO3s. Both did a great job. As a competitor, we want the best work with the least chance of injury. Because it is such a physical sport, there is always a chance of injury to person and dog. The national level helper work was appreciated by everyone. And there were no injuries to person or dog. This was quite an accomplishment, when you have dogs moving as fast as some of these Dobermans were. Jason Bane with Gleena vom Dragnoereich earned an 87 in protection for a total of 256. Scott Severs with Otchi von Warringhof earned 90 points in protection for a total of 273 and High IPO1.

Their higher protection score broke the tie between Ascomannis Tarzan and Otchi v Warringhaus. High IPO obedience was awarded to Robert Marrone with Egon von Schlottke with 93 points. High IPO Protection was awarded to Jonathan Alvarez and Dark Nemo vom Koby Haus with 98 points. High in Trial and High Owner Trained was awarded to Ally Smith with Ascomannis Tarzan, with a total score of 284 points. The paperwork for a trial of this magnitude is tremendous. Alissa Weaver did an outstanding job of keeping the trial organized and all of the paperwork correct and in order. The job of trial secretary is exhausting, and the trial cannot be done without one. Thank you for making my job of IPO chairman easier. Carla Griffith did an awesome job of judging. It is always educational to have a judge who understands Dobermans. Not only was a Doberman her first dog to work in schutzhund, but she also does helper work and truly understands them as a breed. She understands their serious nature as well as their party-boy nature. The High Point Point All Around Award was won by Leslie Carpenter with Morgana s Irresistible Treasure. The award was sponsored by Pamela Stevens in loving memory of Hunter dei Dohse. Ray Carlisle presented the traveling HPAA plaque that was originally sponsored by Vic Monteleon. Both Pamela and Ray were present for the presentation, and it was memorable for everyone. The trophies were spectacular! A big thank you to everyone who contributed. On a personal note, I had intended to be present for the entire week, but due to a family emergency I was unable to arrive as planned. A special thank you goes to everyone who picked up the slack when I couldn t be there, especially to Chris Rasmussen, who took over my job as conformation chair. 30 uniteddobermanclub.com UDC Focus Winter 2015

32 e 2015 UDC IPO Fall Classic by Linda Lindic Photos by Cindy Noland The United Doberman Club Fall Classic is a championship IPO trial. It is one of the upper-level events that allow our Dobermans to compete on an international level at the IDC Weltmeisterschaft (Doberman IPO World Championship) held in Europe. The UDC Fall IPO Classic is held in conjunction with the Doberman Pinscher Club of America (DPCA) National Convention, held each year in early October in various locations around the country. This year it was held Sept. 29 Oct. 3i n Lancaster, Penn. The 2016 DPCA National will be Oct in St. Charles, Ill., about 45 minutes west of Chicago. The 2016 IPO Fall Classic should be during that week. Background. In 1990, the AKC banned biting dog activities for its member clubs, including the Doberman Pinscher Club of America (DPCA). The United Doberman Club (UDC) was then created to preserve and protect the working heritage of our remarkable breed, and was able to do so while the DPCA could not. Fast forward... the AKC lifts its ban, and the Working Dog Sport (WDS) is formed. Here is a little history if you are interested: working-dog-sportschutzhund. The DPCA embraced this, and again held WDS trials. AKC discontinued the WDS after a few years, realizing, I think, that there was no need to reinvent the wheel. At the same time, it approved recording IPO titles on AKC pedigrees earned at and endorsed by the breed club s endorsing organization. The UDC is the DPCA s endorsing organization. The DPCA wanted to continue to hold working dog trials at its national after the AKC WDS ended. So, the UDC was invited to host a championship IPO trial each year during the DPCA national. And, DPCA voted to reimburse up to $1,000 of any losses incurred by the UDC to encourage UDC to continue hosting this event at the DPCA national. The IPO Trial at Lancaster. The UDC IPO Fall Classic was held on Oct. 2, It was originally scheduled to be a two-day trial. I had expected a good turnout of competitors as the largest concentration of working Dobermans is in the northeast. And, because of a bad winter, a lot of northern competitors did not have much time to prepare for the April UDC national in Kentucky that was hosted by the Working Dobermanns of the Carolinas.

34 Classic continued from page 32 The UDC national had 15 IPO competitors, including BHs. But, as the quote by Robert Burns goes, The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Despite my hope for 10 to 12 competitors at the Fall Classic, it turned out there were only five. This may be the least number of competitors that we have ever had. Oh, but what awesome competitors they were! Despite our unexpected guest, Hurricane Joaquin, who created nasty weather in Lancaster, the competitors and dogs put on awesome performances in the chill, heavy rain. Three of the four IPO dogs achieved scores greater than 270! Although it was cold and the rain was heavy at times, four of the five dogs received tracking scores in the 90s. The tracking fields were lush and green, making for nice tracks. These competitors did not just compete in the IPO trial, they helped me set up the IPO field! You can t ask for more dedicated and hard-working folks. The 2015 IPO Fall Classic competitors and dogs were: Pam Burns and Chalmar s Major Orca earned their first IPO 3 and became the Fall Classic Champions.

I was excited for Nazarene Mondello, who was competing with her 8-year-old rescue bitch Chloe. They were trying for their IPO 1. Unfortunately, it just wasn t Chloe s day. This year was the first that I was the IPO coordinator for the Fall Classic. As president of the UDC, I felt that it was my responsibility to honor the commitment made by past officers and directors of this club to host the Fall Classic IPO trial. It was great to spend three days at the DPCA national in the midst of our beautiful breed. It was great to see so many Dobermans in a single location. James Barron, the newly elected DPCA president, attended our draw night event. He introduced himself, welcomed us and thanked us for bringing our IPO trial to the DPCA national. At this point, I must thank those who have given me help, advice and guidance I would not have been able to pull it off without them. So, thanks to DPCA Working Dog Chair and UDC member Victoria Hall, who held my hand all the way; Ann Conroy, who taught me how to order ribbons and trophies; Trial Secretary Meryl Winnie and Trial Chairperson Lyn Kargaard; and members of the group: Jacque Matson, Mary Chrusciel, Erica Green and Lyn Kargaard. Thanks also to our official sponsor Hallmark K-9, and Horton s Handcrafted Quality for the tracking articles; Jacque and Doug Matson for the blinds; Daniel and Matthew Heldreth our decoys; and the many bystanders who stepped in to help. And last but not least, the DPCA for inviting us to its national and subsidizing our losses. Thank you all! Above top: Gleena vom Dragonereich BH.

36 United Doberman Club The National Conformation Shows by Linda Lindic Photos by Jason Dohse The line up for Best Youth. From left: Sharon Marinelli with Sharjet s Starr Tracker, Carma Cleveland with Lothlorien s Avari the Dark Elf, Traci Mulligan with Rebholzer Moon Stalker and Shelby LaBrie with Rebholzer Promise Me the Moon. Conformation is always a popular event, and this was no exception for the 2015 UDC National, which celebrated the United Doberman s Club 25th year. In the UDC, the temperament of a dog is as important as its structure; thus, our philosophy of the Total Doberman. In order to achieve Championship status in the UDC, a dog most not only earn three Challenge Certificates, referred to as CCs, but pass the age-appropriate temperament test. Conformation Show No. 1. As was the case on Monday, Tuesday was another day of heavy rain. We were given special permission to hold this show indoors in the fairgrounds building. They say Necessity is the Mother of Invention this proved to be true. We all got together to circle the wagons, or rather the chairs. An impromptu ring was created by using chairs! It turned out perfect. The judge for Conformation Show No. 1 was Dr. James Edwards. He began his judging career 30-plus years ago, and he has judged throughout the United States, England, the Netherlands, Switzerland and China. Dr. Edwards spent time going over each entry and providing a through written and oral critique of each dog that he judged, noting each dog s strengths and weaknesses. There were 39 dogs entered in Conformation Show No. 1. Congratulations to Adult Best of Breed, GCH Sharjets Starr Catcher, CD, RoM, RA, CGC, and the Best Opposite Adult, Eclipse s Kaymen Chaser, IPO2, CD, WAC, BSA-VG2A (pictured at right, bottom). Conformation Show No. 2. This second show was held on Thursday, April 15, with a total of 42 dogs. The rain had subsided, so we were back outdoors. The judge was Nancy Christensen, who is well-known to UDC members who have attended our shows and nationals. Nancy has had Dobermans since 1974, and has titled her dogs in many areas of performance: AKC obedience, agility, flyball, dancing and Schutzhund. She was approved by AKC in February of 2006 as a licensed Doberman judge. Congratulations to the Adult Best of Breed, GCH Sharjets Starr Catcher, CD, ROM, RA, CGC, repeating her win from Show No. 1 (pictured center right), and the Best Opposite Adult, AKC GCH, UKC GCH, UDC CH, Intl CH RATCH Catawba s Power Play, CD, IPO1, RN, RA, ROM, VCX, UR02, RAT1, RATM, ASCA RN. If you have never entered a UDC national or regional conformation show, I urge you to do so. Come to Ohio in April, Our tests will judge your dog s temperament, and the written and oral critiques will inform you of your dog s structure. Who knows... you may have the next UDC Champion sitting right next to you as you read this! Congratulations to the following dogs that finished their UDC Championship at the 2016 UDC National: Frank DeLaglio and UDC CH Livonija Baron Pompey, CD Sharon Marinelli and GCH, UDC CH Sharjets Starr Catcher, CD, ROM, RA, CGC MaKayla King and UDC CH Eclipse s Kaymen Chaser, IPO2, CD, WAC, BSA-VG2A 36 uniteddobermanclub.com UDC Focus Winter 2015

38 by Shelby Labrie United Doberman Club Barn Hunt Fun at the 2015 UDC National Barn Hunt is a fun, up-and-coming sport, and it was a pleasure to be able to bring demos and practice sessions to the 2015 national! Many handlers got the chance to see just what goes on in Barn Hunt, and a handful already involved in the sport were able to put their dogs through the paces in a new environment. Unfortunately, there is a misconception in the working dog world that Barn Hunt will ruin your dogs for tracking, so it was fantastic to be able to talk to the spectators and new handlers, answer their questions and show them just how different Barn Hunt is from tracking. Barn Hunt is a sport that allows your dog to let loose and have fun. It is a sport that allows a chance for your working Doberman to blow of some steam, let their hair down and use their instincts and nose in a whole new way while building on your already unbreakable bond. At the end of national, the two rats used during the week, Bourbon and Derby, were donated to the local Barn Hunt club by the UDC. My First UDC National by Lisa Mayhew Photo by Sarah Powell Lisa Mayhew and Dekes v Moeller Hof When I found out we were going to UDC national in Lexington, I was ecstatic and anxious all at once. As a lifelong horsewoman, I could barely contain myself. But as a first-time Doberman owner/trainer/handler at a national competition, my stomach literally hurt. Despite the weather conditions, everyone was ramped up and ready to go from day one. As a member of Working Dobermanns of the Carolinas, the sponsoring club, many duties had to be done to keep it all running smoothly. I was so grateful for the guidance of those far more familiar with the procedures, but more importantly, with the competitors themselves. Despite being soaked and muddy for several days straight, everyone was patient and kept their senses of humor. When the clouds finally broke and it was time for the IPO competition, we traveled to the trial grounds. What? Trial grounds in the middle of a horse farm? I officially died and went to heaven, my two worlds collided in a most beautiful fashion. Phenomenal location, great dogs and fierce competition. It was a fantastic way to end the week. As my first experience, it will be hard to top. Not to mention that my boy, Dekes von Moeller Hof, took home a first place in Open Dog, and got his BH that week. I was over the moon. I m thrilled to be a part of this dedicated community and look forward to future competitions. 38 uniteddobermanclub.com UDC Focus Winter 2015

40 United Doberman Club UDC National Overview by Lindsay Davis, National Co-Chair, Working Dobermanns of the Carolinas This was a special national for the UDC as we were celebrating our 25th Anniversary. Making this an event to remember was always the goal, and I do believe we achieved that. There are so many people who endured many phone calls and s from me for many, many months when this was a work in progress. Thank you to all, especially Beth Bishop, Jason Dohse, Bonnie Guzman, Linda Lindic, Chris Rasmussen, Jim Toman and Alissa Weaver. Thank you to all of the chairs and secretaries for your endless, exhausting hours of work. Thank you Brandi Williams for securing Dragonsmeade Horse Farm for the IPO Championship. Special thanks to Frank DeLaglio for all of his work on the national web page, and to Monica Anthony for her diligence with timely updates on FB. Thank you to EVERYONE who came together and pitched in wherever help was needed. Thank you to all who offered demos and/or workshops. This was a national to remember, and everyone who worked, entered, supported were all a part in making this a fabulous national. We were very fortunate to have been given access to Drache Feld German Shepherd s IPO field and tracking fields that are located on the picturesque Drangonsmeade Morgan Horse Farm owned by Kee and Susan Fu, Winchester, Ky. We would like to thank Charlie Starr and Kee and Susan Fu for granting the UDC use of the fields and for securing alternative practice tracking when spring rains resulted in flooded fields. Thank you Emily and Jesse Smith for opening your farm at the last minute for our practice tracking. Thank you to all members of the Working Dobermanns of the Carolinas for your work, support and contributions. I am proud to be a founding member of our great club! Thank you to all who generously donated to the National Trophy Fund. Because of your generosity, we were able to have beautiful trophies, and give trophies for all placements in conformation and obedience, something that we have not been able to do in the past. We also had keepsake medallions that everyone attending received. As trophy chair for the 2016 UDC National, I am hoping we can have a repeat performance for 2016! THANK YOU ALL!

48 News from the Puppy Project Meet Quest! by Pam Burns Q uest of the Sun, call name Quest, is the second puppy do nated through the UDC Puppy Project. Donated by SolStorm Dobermans, Diane Linstrom, he is destined to be a FEMA Disaster Dog This SolStorm litter is full of puppies with enormous potential, and it was difficult to pick between two of the males. But in the end the little blue boy won out, and at seven weeks and one day, he began his journey. He immediately started his training by playing on a wide variety of surfaces, being exposed to a number of environmental situations and starting his human imprinting. Diane had done such a wonderful job of engaging the little noses of all the puppies while they were very small that Quest s nose is already fully engaged in learning about his surroundings. He is bold, curious and a thinker. A wonderful combination of the Total Doberman. Cris Bean and Rayanne Chamberlin wish to thank Puppy Project breeder Diane Lindstromon for her donations. Meet Rizzy! by Cris Bean, HRD Handler Introducing Swift Run s Lacey Rizzoli, Rizzy for short. Rizzy came to me through the UDC Puppy Project. She was donated by Tammy Marshall Weldon of Swift Run Dobermans. With the help of Pam Burns, Rayanne Chamberlain and Irene Korotev, all 10 puppies in Rizzy s litter were tested as a potential Human Remains Detection/Disaster Recovery puppy. Each one of the puppies showed solid confidence and an ability to work in an area of SAR. I thought it was going to be hard to choose, until the last little girl came out with an attitude and a little bark. Right then and there my heart melted, and I knew she was the one. I cannot express how overwhelmed I have been with Tammy s generosity with her donation to the Puppy Project and to me. Rizzy is doing awesome in her imprinting to human decomposition and her bark indication. She is a smart little girl and will probably keep me on my toes throughout this journey!
