President's Message March 20th was a beautiful day for a match, one of the first sunny warm days we had had this spring. Tracey Wells did an outstanding job of chairing the B-Match the Club held and those of us who were there had a great time. Linda and Anthony's Stoney, Blue Bay's Romancing the Stone, won the Group One prize. So what's the problem? There were only six entries! The premium list deliberately did not exclude major pointed dogs or taped ears so as to allow more people to participate. It's hard to believe we have only a handful of people interested in practice with their dogs. I understood why we had few volunteers for the State Fair this year. The weather was generally miserable and it's not much fun to spend four and a half hours in a cold damp tent. But there really wasn't any reason to avoid the match. Please give the board members some input on what you want the Club to provide in the way of activities for you and your dogs.

3 WHERE DO PUREBRED DOGS COME FROM? By David Post, DVM People in the world of dog shows often think of themselves as core to the purebred dog world. They tend to believe that they and people like them are responsible for the production of the majority of purebred dogs. The facts are a quite a bit different. In my daily practice as a veterinarian, I see multiple puppies every day. I generally see all the paperwork the breeders provided to the new owners, including medical records, pedigrees and registration information. Owners typically are not aware of the portion of the paperwork that is pertinent to vets, so they bring it all. The shocking fact for me, when I started practice, was finding out that the vast majority of purebred dogs came from puppy mills, "professional breeders", and backyard breeders. The highly selective, conscientious breeder who is show oriented and belongs to a national breed club is exceedingly rare. Over the years, I have practiced in a lot of different locations and compared notes with lots of veterinarians, and this observation is fairly universal. It actually gets more strange. Most of the pups that I see are healthy! They typically have some breeder-provided vaccinations and have been treated prophylactically for some parasites. They are bright and alert, and generally sound within the constraints of their breeds. They typically are well cared for by their new owners and are treated as part of the family most of the time. Most are not eligible for AKC registration. Instead, they are registered with a variety of alternate registries that have been created as a result of the AKC's crackdown on puppy mills. The registration organizations typically require no verification of pedigree or even purebred status, but the dogs are "registered" and the general public makes no distinction between these meaningless registries and the AKC. Typically, the owners have made spontaneous purchases with little selection. Even if they know they are not supposed to buy from puppy mills and pet stores, they purchase anyway. The general public also expects to purchase in exchange for money, with no screening of suitability of the owner or the breed. You want it, you get it. And of course, in our disposable world, if things don't work out, you get rid of the dog. And the breeders? A huge portion of the puppies in our area are purchased at flea markets. A massive regional flea market has a "puppy alley" where scores of breeds are available every weekend. Breeders of multiple breeds are pervasive in the area and they meet the standard descriptions of puppy mills. One example is a farmer who discovered that puppies were easier to raise than hogs and were more profitable. He built quarter-acre lots with a dog house/whelping box for each breeding pair, and he usually has 10 to 20 breeds, always small breeds because they are cheaper to keep. Pups are vaccinated and de-wormed before sale, vet checked, and marketed to pet stores. Another example is a man who calls himself a professional breeder and has about 50 Miniature Schnauzers. He considers himself on the cutting edge of purebred dog breeding, raising not just regular Miniature Schnauzers, but also "white" schnauzers and "toy" Miniature Schnauzers. He has a bachelor's degree in biology and a background in showing Rottweilers. He gave up showing because it was too political. He says he makes a hundred thousand dollars a year selling his pups primarily through local newspapers. In both these cases, the breeding dogs and the pups are generally healthy. Are these two examples different from your standard expectation of "puppy mills"? I am sure that both of these breeders produce far more dogs for sale in a year than most reading this article will produce in their entire lifetime of breeding. The story gets stranger still. Because the profit-oriented breeders tend to select away from things that cause expenses, like veterinary visits, some problems are less common with these dogs than with show breeders' dogs! Reproductive problems, like C-sections and the need for AI, are uncommon since they are selected against. This means that in some breeds the extreme show characteristics associated with winning are not present if these
4 characteristics lead to (costly) husbandry problems. No disproportionately large heads, no respiratory distress in the newborns, no bad moms that can't raise their own young, no unreasonably long, hard-to-care-for coats, and even bad bites and gay tails are quite rare. As extraordinary (and unpopular a concept) as it might seem, there are areas where non-show breeders are outperforming hard core breed advocates. Quite a concept and something that should give us all pause for thought, particularly when we are making our breeding selections. My estimation is that 90 to 95% of AKC-registered dogs (all breeds) are produced by backyard breeder and various "professional Breeders" like puppy mills. An even larger number of purebred (and designer breed) dogs are not AKC - registered and are produced by the same sorts of breeders. Popular breeds, like Labradors, have 36,000 litters registered per year with the AKC, and commercial breeders focus on these popular breeds. However, even in a relatively unusual breed, like Airedales, I suspect a majority of the population is not produced by "quality" breeders. There are roughly 700 Airedale litters a year registered with the AKC. How many are produced by ATCA members? I doubt the answer is half. Backyard breeders, "Oorang/Mountain dog" breeders, and puppy mills produce the rest. Typically, these are sold through newspapers to unscreened homes and a disproportionate number end up in our National Rescue organizations. This article attempts to illustrate the difference between what typical ATCA quality breeders think the world of purebred dogs is like and the reality. The questions become, "What do we do to protect Airedales?" and "How do we protect the purebred dog hobby?" We all know we must focus on producing healthy and sound dogs of moderate conformations. We must become conscious of detrimental effects our occasionally unwise breeding selections cause. Hopefully we will become increasingly aware of shrinking gene pools and the undesirable popular side effects. We must also remain legislatively alert and look to help solve the overpopulation problems that drive the legislation. If purebred dog aficionados like members of the ATCA don't find solutions, expect animal right organizations, animal welfare organizations, and animal rescue organizations to fill the void with well-financed legislative action and more documentaries demonizing the purebred dog industry. David Post is a practicing veterinarian in Tyler, Texas. He as a master's degree in genetics and has published numerous peer reviewed scientific articles. He has owned Airedales since David and his wife, Laura, raise Airedales under the Texter Kennel name, breeding numerous champions and specialty winning dogs. They live on a small farm near Tyler.

President's Message Continued from Page 1 pointless to continue to organize these events. Some of our activities are required by the AKC to continue as a club in good standing, but certainly we can cut back on what we are doing. After saying all that, I do know that real life gets in the way of our dog life sometimes. For example, the timing of this newsletter is far from what I aim for, but between out trip to Michigan and it being tax season, I had no time until this weekend to finish up the newsletter. I'm really sorry! I do hope to see you all at the Awards Banquet. Anthony says a good crowd of people has made reservations. Don't forget to bring something for the Silent Auction. There's always a great variety of items up for purchase and it helps defray the cost of the awards. Even if you don't have an award coming, come celebrate those who do, and the great Club we have!
