2011 Annual Meeting

Our 2011 National/Annual Meeting in Atlanta, GA was a great success! Thirty dogs of nine different FSS/Misc breeds competed in our Open Show on Friday evening. Saturday morning, Deb and Nancy presented a 90 minute judges' seminar for a group of eleven AKC judges. The judges' responses to the presentation and content was very positive.
Saturday evening was the annual meeting, held at a Chili's restaurant near the show site. Attendance was low, but the discussion was good and we worked out how to do the balloting for our proposed revisions to the standard.
Sunday we went to Buckeyes Plantation, a beautiful location for field events, had a "fun hunt" with nice big quail, a picnic lunch and our first AKC Water Test. Congratulations to the Duff's dog, Zoldmali Piske, for being the first Wirehaired Vizsla to pass the Water Test!








WHVCA Annual Board Meeting

10-22-11

 

Board members present: Nancy E., Deb W., Beth S. and Amanda J. attended.

 

Old Business: 

Nominations for the 2012-2014 Board are still being worked on.  We have at least 2 director positions to fill and Secretary will need to be filled.  Amanda J.  will continue to work on the nomination slate.

Today a judges education seminar was conducted.  There were suggestions by the judges to fix grammatical errors and to clarify the height as adult height.
There was also discussion about teeth. If judges need to count teeth and or open mouth to see teeth, education needed to owners/handlers to be prepared to open mouth fully for a tooth count.
Nancy moves to make the changes/addition to the height sentence in the standard  , make grammatical changes and membership to be mailed a ballot with URL for changes to standard.  Ballots will be mailed out by November 1st and postmarked back to the board by November 30th 2011.  Second by amanda.
