Subscriptions are available to non-members for $20.00 (US) or $30.00 (Foreign) per year. Single copies are available from the Editor at $3.00 per copy. Spring 2015 Page 3 From the Editor’s Desk I’d like to start out by apologizing to the membership for this issue coming out so late. We had a few “glitches” that needed to be handled. One of which was that the choice to send everyone one last hard copy of The Bulletin before going to availability online. Those of you that have sent back the information as to whether you would rather receive The Bulletin as a hard copy and have paid the up charge will continue to receive it in this manner. You will also be able to access The Bulletin online as well as the folks that have opted to receive it online only. You will need to go to the STCA web page, click on the drop down box for The Bulletin, place the “username” and the “password” that was provided with the letter insert (which came with the mailing of this issue). If you have any issues please contact me. The judges will also be able to view The Bulletin online and they have a separate username and password to use. The fact that we have made the decision to go online will save the club a huge amount of postage money so that we may continue to provide the membership with our publication. This winter saw a lot of attention given to our breed with the Best In Show at Eukanuba and the Reserve Best In Show at the Garden that Charlie (GCh. Cragsmoor Good Time Charlie) won. The Skye Terrier certainly could use the attention it has received and we are hoping that this will promote the breed to those that are not familiar with it. We need new people to become involved so that our breed continues to flourish. We need to positively mentor those that do show an interest. And with the promise of several litters in the US this year that should give those breeders that opportunity. In closing I’d like to remind people that the next deadline date to get your ads or articles in is fast approaching. It is May 12. I realize that doesn’t give everyone much time between this issue and the next but I must adhere to the deadline date so that the next issue goes out on time before the Southern California Skye Terrier Club specialty in June. Best wishes for everyone out there in the show ring. Hoping everyone has a great year!!! Contact Info: Pat Flanagan Bulletin Editor 5200 Bushnell Campbell Rd. Kinsman, Ohio 44428 (330) 272-6601 [email protected] Dear STCA Officers, Directors, Club Members and Friends, Sometimes unexpected surprises are the best and I received just such a surprise in December when reading my Winter Issue of the Bulletin to discover I had received the President's Award. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the Montgomery specialty weekend to accept the award. I understand from reading the Bulletin a standing ovation followed the announcement of the President's Award and I thank you all. I received an additional pleasant surprise on Christmas Eve, when a beautiful plaque arrived - just in time for Christmas. I would like to thank you all for your support and I am honored to receive the award. In appreciation, Karen J’Anthony Page 4 Spring 2015 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE I had hoped to start this first 2015 and Spring Issue off with a positive message and that will still be my intention, but I’m afraid it’s now become a bit of a “Good News, Bad News” story. But first let’s talk about all the good news! It seems like Skye’s are popping up everywhere! Is this going to be the year or the Skye! Are you feeling it too? I’m sure we can attribute most of this to the amazing success of the fabulous Charlie, AKA GCH CH Cragsmoor Goodtime Charlie, owned by member Gene Zaphiris, and Matt Stander, who among his path of wins includes winning not only BIS at Eukanuba, but also Reserve BIS at Westminster for the entire world to see! He gave us all a night to remember and had us all cheering on the edge of our seats! Case in point….Jay and I recently stopped at a rest stop in very rural Colorado to exercise two of the Skyes and a family poured out of a minivan and excitedly screamed “Wow are those Skye Terriers! We loved Charlie! Can we pat them! They couldn’t have been more thrilled if the dogs had been rock stars! And, the dogs loved the attention and we gave them a breed card (and everyone wanted one like they were a prize!) as a reminder of their visit, and we made friends of the breed, so that’s how it goes, and that’s how it works….it’s just all feeling good for the breed right now. And there are other good things going on...AKC’s Family Dog Magazine just did a lovely feature article on Skyes. If you didn’t see it, you can view it on the AKC website. Also, Showsight magazine will be doing a feature in their upcoming April issue. The magazines are feeling it too….Skye’s are “of the moment”! And I’ve heard of a couple of litters on the ground already for 2015 and of more litters on the horizon which is great news so I’m looking forward to seeing more puppies, and the numbers rising for this year which is going in the right direction and so important for our endangered breed! It all such great news and such a great start to the year! The STCA is also off to a good start too for 2015! We had some positive progressive changes, a great specialty and successful fund raising events last year. We’re working on a beautiful new website and if you can believe it we’ve even started tweeting! We’ve evolved! We’ve seen several new members so we’re actually going against the trend of most clubs these days. I’ve actually had other breed clubs ask me what we’re doing…they’re actually interested in the STCA and what we’re up to! So I was feeling optimistic for our breed and club until…. The bad news….just as I was writing this I got the news that AKC released the numbers for 2014 and Skyes slipped once again down to the 171 rank….10 places down from last year and 10 places from the bottom. Yes folks we dropped down again. I posted this news on Facebook and it generated a really thoughtful and passionate discussion with great insight by many of you who are members of the STCA. I think with the current interest in the breed and passion of our breeders and owners, I’m looking forward to not ever having to post this sad news again. I hope we’re turning the tide and that the STCA driven by all of you, who are the stewards of the breed, we can work hard to assure that the will breed survive and thrive. Let’s all make 2015 and the Year of the Skye!

Spring 2015 Page 5 AKC/EUKANUBA NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW WEEK 2014 By Karen Sanders The AKC/Eukanuba National Championship Show Week of events in Orlando has become a major event in the dog show calendar, second only to Westminster week in New York and of course for Terrier lovers, the Montgomery County Kennel Club Weekend in Philadelphia. It typically draws most of the top dogs from this country as well as many from overseas and the 2014 event was no exception. Events offered something for almost every dog lover including obedience and agility events; three days of all-breed conformation competitions prior to the AKC/Eukanuba show; a day of individual breed specialties; special major competitions for owner/handlers and breeder/ owner/handlers; special attractions including the very popular dock diving competitions; and finally, a two day “Meet The Breeds” event at the AKC/Eukanuba show sponsored by the AKC and put on by the individual Breed Clubs. The AKC has worked very hard to make this annual event extremely attractive both for the exhibitor and the public and having attended the Florida event twice now, I’d recommend highly recommend it to all. Special rates are generally negotiated with area hotels for attendees and their dogs and there are a variety of properties available close to the show site and within easy driving distance of the airport. The venue, the Orlando Orange County Convention Center, is huge, but everything is on one floor with easy access to everything although attendees need to be prepared to do a lot of walking. Exhibitor parking was a breeze with well managed loading/unloading space directly adjacent to the grooming areas and while you can pay for assigned grooming space (if needed), there was most ample free space to be found. There were a good many vendors offering a wide variety of goods and services, a huge area was set aside as a food court, and restrooms were large and convenient. Best of all from an exhibitor perspective, the show rings themselves were very large affording plenty of room for the dogs to move and lots of room for those around the ring to just watch the judging. Judging results are included separately but as many of you may know, a Skye Terrier, GCH Cragsmoor Good Time Charlie, took top honors at the AKC/Eukanuba show, going all the way to Best In Show. Needless to say, this was a terrific honor for the breed and for Charlie’s owners, breeders and handler alike, and a statue of him will be added to the special AKC/Eukanuba Best In Show trophy. As everyone is well aware, Skyes are an increasingly rare breed; consequently, the Skye Terrier Club of America Board of Directors supported the Meet The Breeds program by sponsoring a booth at this event which runs the Saturday and Sunday of the AKC/ Eukanuba National Championship Show. This year’s booth was designed and put together by Darlene Sumner who participated in the AKC Agility Championship event and blown up photos of Skyes doing many things including obedience, agility, conformation and just having a good time made up the booth décor. Traffic at the booth was very heavy both days and the breed materials and information we made available were all well received. Booth staffing included Darlene and other attending STCA members including Bobbi Koseff Lubliner and husband Bud, Harvey and Melissa Walfish, Sue and Frank Falvey, and new STCA AKC Delegate Steve Hersey who was in Orlando to attend his first AKC Delegates’ Meeting. Needless to say, our Skyes were regularly on display to meet and greet everyone stopping by and were, as always, a very big hit. In closing, many thanks must go to all those who worked hard to support the breed and the club by their participation in this event. With our numbers getting so low, it’s critical that we all take advantage of available opportunities to showcase and educate the public about the wonderful advantages of being owned by a Skye!

Pesare My wife, Maida Connor and I joined with Sue Chandler to coordinate the Skye Terrier Club of America booth at the AKC Meet the Breeds event on Saturday, February 14, 2015. This year's Meet the Breeds moved from the Javits Center to Pier 92 in New York City. Previously, the event was held over two days. This year, the AKC made the superb decision to make the event a one-day event and to hold it just prior to the Westminster KC show. I think this was an excellent decision that capitalized on the media attention that Westminster attracts. Prior to the event, the AKC was hoping for 15,000 attendees. However, we heard that the event sold out prior to the end of the day and it is estimated that upwards of 20,000 people attended. Our Skye booth was absolutely swamped from 10 a.m. through the closing at 5 p.m. Another advantage that we enjoyed was the fact that the breed booths were organized in reverse alphabetical order. So, the “A” breeds were at the rear of the Piers building and the Skye booth was very close to the entrance of the building. This definitely helped our exposure! The Skyes participating were: 2013 Westminster BOB winner, GCH. Ch. Gleanntan Gaelforce - "Cooper", GCH. Ch. Gleanntan Wonderful Wizard of Oz - "Gus", Gleanntan Oh My Goodness - "Mellie" and 5month old pups, Gleanntan Ocean of Light - "Sunny” and Gleanntan IHopeUDance - "Ally”. As you can see in the photos, the Skyes were a delightful attraction and they handled the attention with confidence. Another photo in the series shows our appearance on nationally broadcast “Fox and Friends”. A few weeks prior to the Meet the Breeds event, we were invited to join three other breeds for an appearance on Fox and Friends just prior to the start of the event. After getting the booth set up at 6 a.m. on Saturday, I headed over to the Fox studio with "Cooper" and his daughter, "Ally". Our appearance went well, though the camera person got us mixed up with the Bedlington Terriers. A heartfelt thanks to Maida Connor and Sue Chandler!
