I chaired three Midwest
National Specialties
through the years : Green
Bay, Wisconsin when a
tornado blew the roof
off the
host
hotel the night before
the Specialty, Chicago,
Illinois, when the site
had to be changed due to
hotel bankruptcy
(
received our initial
down payment of $ 200.00
years later ), Delavan,
Wisconsin, most recent,
when the first tracking
dog
competition was held at
a Specialty.
I have held various
offices in the club : President, Vice
President ( for a short
time ) as a replacement,
and a Trusteeship
for
a
number of years. I was a
member of the first
Genetics Committee; I
think it was called The
Health Committee then.
I’ve raised many
litters of paps, always
trying to improve the
breed. There
have been many
Bittersuite champions
and all
of
them have been my pets
and constant companions.
House building in Hawaii
has been and is a
challenging experience.
I’ve raised one
Hawaiian litter,
haven’t gone to many
shows, but have become a
member of the Orchid
Island Kennel Club on
the big Island.
