NOTICE BOARD JOIN CKC AS WE CONGRATULATE CKC S JUNIOR HANDLING NATIONAL CHAMPIONS On August 12, 2017, the nation s best and brightest competitors in Junior Handling entered the ring to compete in the Canadian Kennel Club s (CKC) 2016 Junior Handling National Championships hosted by Conception Bay Kennel Club (CBKC) in Bay Roberts, Newfoundland. The Junior Nationals are more than a dog show. This event brings together Junior Handling Zone Finalists from each CKC Junior Zone to promote sportsmanlike competition, forge friendships that transcend distance, and inspire CKC s youngest exhibitors to follow their passion. On Saturday, Caroline Holicka earned the title of CKC Junior Handling Conformation Champion (Best Overall Junior in Conformation) and the honour of following her passion to the international stage next spring as CKC s and Canada s representative at Crufts 2018 International Junior Handling Competition. Caroline has been involved in Junior handling since she was seven years old. I was just a little kid with a big dog and sparkly shoes, she recalls in her Junior Nationals Program biography. I hope that I will be able to continue enjoying this sport for a very long time, seeing more and more Juniors entering the ring, a huge smile on their faces she added. Caroline was also the recipient of the Wenrick Sportsmanship Award. It is awarded annually at Junior Nationals to the competitor who truly embodies sportsmanship a fundamental aspect of dog sport in Canada. Chantal Ratté is this year s CKC Junior Handling Obedience Champion (Best Over Overall Junior in Obedience). Chantal s journey in the CKC show ring began five years ago when a three-year-old chocolate lab seeking a home stole her heart. Chantal worked with Kita slowly and steadily, eventually achieving PCD, CD, CDI, CGN, and certifying her as a Therapy Dog with Therapy Dogs International. They are working in Open Obedience towards with the hopes of earning a CDX title in the future. CKC thanks esteemed judges Fabian Negron, Christine Heartz, Judy Taylor, Caitlin O Brien-Dyke, Paul Dinn, Danielle Pike and Diane Hiseler. Selecting winners from among these competitors was no easy feat. Richard Paquette, Chair, CKC Junior Kennel Club Council, was at Nationals cheering on the competitors. I am proud to be part of CKC s Junior Handling Program. It involves an unimaginable number of people volunteering countless hours to facilitate events and mentor each Junior handler. This devotion is matched only by the dedication of the Junior handlers themselves. I have watched as past Junior handling participants grew up to become some of the most recognized names in the Canadian dog fancy. Each of them carried the most important parts of Canadian dog show culture with them: sportsmanship, mentorship, and a deep commitment to the dog community. That is what it means to say that our Juniors are the future of Canadian dog sport, said Mr. Paquette. CKC, its staff and Board of Directors would like to thank everyone who was involved in putting together the CKC 2016 Junior Handling National Championships. Particularly, this event would not have been possible without the hard work and devotion of CKC Junior National Championships Chair, Faye Andrews, her team at Conception Bay Kennel Club, and all of the Junior Handling Zone Representatives who work tirelessly year-round to facilitate this exceptional program. CKC would also like to thank our generous sponsors for their invaluable support including returning sponsors DogShow.ca for partnering with CKC to provide the winners bursaries and Canadian Dog Fancier for designing, printing and shipping the 2 SEPTEMBER 2017

PURINA PRO PLAN AND CKC: A PARTNERSHIP FOR BREEDERS Purina Pro Plan was proud to be the founding presenting sponsor of the inaugural CKC Seminar that took place alongside the AGM this June in Calgary, Alberta. The seminar was a great way for breeders to gain insights from experts including Dr. Carol Graham and Dr. Gayle Watkins on breeding timing and management and raising puppies in their early months. The great success of the inaugural CKC Seminar highlights the commitment of CKC members to develop their knowledge and expertise, a commitment shared by Purina where we invest heavily in cutting edge technology, research and innovation. In honour of this shared commitment, Purina Pro Plan will continue to support this breeder education event and the value it provides to members as presenting sponsor again in 2018. We do hope to see you there! Until then, we invite all CKC member breeders to access our vast collection of resources on health, genetics, conditioning and nutrition available online through our breeder support program, the Purina Pro Club. Purina Pro Club was created because breeding and competing are more than hobbies - they re ways of life. Purina Pro Club shares your commitment to your dogs, celebrates your achievements, recognizes your expertise and supports your journey toward further success. When you become a Purina Pro Club member, you enjoy exclusive rewards that help you with your kennel, your expertise, and your bottom line. Through this unique program, you can accumulate savings with every purchase of Purina food. For example, if you purchase a 15kg bag of Pro Plan Sensitive Skin and Stomach, send in your weight circle (located on the bag) with a copy of your receipt, you will receive $11.00 in Purina Pro Club coupons to use towards your next purchase! You can also earn points towards exclusive Purina Pro Club merchandise and order free puppy kits. For each new puppy owner that the breeder signs up for the Pro Plan Puppy Offer, the breeder will receive $4.00 in Purina Pro Club coupons. The new puppy owner will receive a coupon for a free bag of Purina Pro Plan. These are just some of the ways in which Purina Pro Plan connects with our breeders and puppy owners. We are very excited to bring these benefits to our partnership with the CKC, to share our evidence-based expertise in nutrition and canine care, and to find new and impactful ways to support CKC members like the CKC Seminar.
