Members of the Greenville Kennel club are mourning the loss of our fellow member, Richard E. Keith Jr., who passed away on February 2 nd, 2009. We extend our condolences to his wife, Jan and his family. The new layout with the education booth and the Greenville County Sheriff s Office K-9 booth at the front entrance drew lots of interest. We will be continuing our support of the local K-9 units in the upcoming months and we are planning a K-9 demonstration later this year. Until next time, may God bless, and keep you safe.

Keith Jr. Richard and Jan Keith # Becky Ward If you hear of a Member that is ill or just in need of a kind word of support, please contact Becky at (864) 288-6206 or email at wardbk@charter.net. Remember, a simple word spoken in kindness can make a world of difference for a friend in need.

In order to enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of the Greenville County Sheriff s Office the Greenville County Sheriff s Office Canine (K-9) Service Unit will provide highly trained canine teams to protect persons and property in Greenville County and increase the safety of deputies confronting any suspect(s) possibly representing a threat. Canine teams are a valuable tool in law enforcement used for criminal apprehension, building searches, area searches, evidence detection, narcotics and explosive detection, tracking missing persons, tracking fleeing persons, crowd control and for promoting favorable public relations.

8 : ;: Linda Knorr Highlights from the February 2009 meeting of the AKC Board of Directors are as follows: The Gibraltar Kennel Club was added to the list of organizations with pedigrees acceptable for AKC registration. The "Lyn Mar Acres" kennel name was permanently retired for Basset Hounds at the request of the Basset Hound Club of America. Effective December 30, 2009, the English Foxhound will be listed as such on all AKC documents, rather than being listed as Foxhound (English). AKC Board policy was modified to permit Pointing Breed clubs in remote areas (no other club holding Hunting Tests within 100 miles) to hold up to six Pointing Breed Hunting Tests in a calendar year. Previously, all clubs were limited to four tests in a year. The Board approved the recommendation of the Group Realignment Committee. An amendment to the rules to provide for Ten Groups will be read at the June 2009 Delegate Meeting for a vote in September 2009, with a proposed 2012 effective date. The following Delegates were approved: Judy Corbett, Columbus, WI, to represent Kettle Moraine Kennel Club Stephanie Crawford, Binghamton, NY, to represent Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club of America Pam Davis, Plymouth Meeting, PA, to represent Cairn Terrier Club of America Marilynn Ellis, Victoria, TX, to represent San Antonio Kennel Club Linda J. Souza, San Martin, CA, to represent Irish Wolfhound Club of America Meg W. Weitz, Yanceyville, NC, to represent Devon Dog Show Association Larry Wilson, Lansdale, PA, to represent Philadelphia Dog Training Club Kelly Yarish, Brighton, CO, to represent Terrier-All Kennel Club - 9 Members who have puppies available are reminded to contact Sonia Hewett.
