NORCAL GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB www.norcalgrc.org Golden Notes AWARDS SPECIAL ISSUE 2015 Elected Officers: President Suzanne Bria Secretary/Treasurer Lisa Newton 1675 Fallen Leaf Los Altos, CA 94024 VP Performance Christine Hsu VOLUME 45, ISSUE I From the President: Suzanne Bria To use a well-worn metaphor, Life is certainly a roller coaster! On the upside: the annual awards banquet/ luncheon went very well. I would have loved to see even more members participating, but we had around 50 and I think everyone enjoyed themselves! Special awards were given to Susan Osborn by VP Field Scott Woodland, Edwina Ryska and Megan Hundley by VP performance Christine Hsu, Laura Franchi by VP Conformation Robin Baker, and a President's award to Laura Finco by me (more details below in your Golden Notes). The photo and awards slideshow by Laura was excellent as always. An impromptu raffle put together by several members including Pam and Lisa with donations by members netted over $800 to be divided equally between the Zeke Cancer Fund and the National Specialty! Lisa provided cool door prizes and also incredibly yummy cupcakes compliments of her professional baker daughter-in-law. Special thanks go out to Pam McDonald for organizing the event again this year! VP Breed Robin Baker In addition to the Awards Banquet, the National Specialty committee held a meeting beforehand which generated a lot of interest and excitement about the Inside this issue: upcoming event! As I'm sure you all know by now, NORCAL GRC will be VP Field Scott Woodland hosting the GRCA National Specialty in Fall 2016, and we are going to need From the President 1 all members on board and involved in this special event. The committee has Director added Robin Baker as Liaison who will keep the Board, the general Laura Finco membership, and the GRCA informed of National Specially planning, so stay Editor’s Bark 2 tuned for the first update and list of all the committee members and others Director Pamela McDonald actively involved so you will know with whom to get in touch to volunteer 2 and share your ideas. Kudos to all those who are behind the scenes working to Morris Foundation make this a fantastic National Specialty! Standing Officials Financial Secretary Patty Simmons Membership Secretary Letty Regan On the down side, it seems like I have been hearing recently about too many of our beloved Golden retrievers headed to the Rainbow Bridge. The culprit in almost every case is cancer, and many are dying way before their time. I am sure you also share my frustration about this and my sorrow for these terrible losses. We've all been through it, and while each loss is unique and personal, our empathy can go a long way to help each other through the grief. But in addition to that, I believe you all share my need to take some action to try to stop this scourge of cancer deaths! One way is by donating to the GR Foundation and other canine cancer research organizations to the extent that we are each able, and to try to stay current with the latest cancer research. Another way is to enroll our goldens under the age of two in the Morris Animal Foundation's Golden Retriever Lifetime Study ( http://caninelifetimehealth.org). And still another way is to make longevity a priority in our breeding and puppy buying decisions. None if us wants to hear about or experience any more cancer deaths! Let's all do whatever we can to make sure we don't have to. Here's wishing for a happy slide into Spring, more rain for the Bay Area, and much joy in all you do with your beloved Golden companions!

We are excited to inform you that the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is currently full. We would like to take this opportunity to thank the 3000 golden retrievers and their owners enrolled for their support of this groundbreaking study. We have already been collecting some amazing data from our enrolled dogs and are extremely excited for the coming years of results from this study.

Thank you in advance for your consideration! NORCAL GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB SPECIAL AWARDS 2014 NORCAL GOLDEN RETRIEVER CLUB hosted its annual awards luncheon on February 7th. We honored the many achievements of our members and their dogs. We also honored the following members for their dedication and service to the club. Vice President Awards: Field Susan Osborn is recognized this year for her outstanding service to the club through her participation and planning of multiple field events and training days. Several years ago Susan agreed to chair all the WC/WCX tests between then and the 2016 National so as to be well prepared to chair the National WC/WCX. In addition, Susan took over the planning of many training days in several locations, and has been actively involved with helping prepare for the club duck and pheasant flyer days. Over the past two years I’ve watched Susan give tirelessly to so many at these training days, making sure the new handlers and new dogs (especially) got the attention and time the needed to have a successful time at a field event. Susan continues that dedicated work now and will be helping our new Field VP in preparing several opportunities this spring for more training days and tests Vice President Awards: Performance Edwina Ryska. Edwina has demonstrated tremendous dedication to the club's agility trials for many years. She works tirelessly not only during the trials, but also does so much behind the scenes work during the year. This is a challenging time for agility trials in Northern California, and her efforts this year particularly in making the B-match happen at the November trial kept us in the black. Thank you, Edwina, for all you do. Megan Hundley. Megan joined NORCAL in 2013 and volunteered to take over chairmanship of the 2014 Beat the Heat Workshop. She did an exemplary job with her attention to detail and good planning; working with everyone with her typical good humor and grace. We might not have had the workshop last year if it wasn't for Megan, and it was one of NORCAL's most profitable events for the year. Thank you, Megan- we are very happy to have you. Presidents Award for Outstanding Service to NORCAL GRC Vice President Award: Breed Laura Franchi was honored with this award for her work as chairperson for the 2014 NORCAL GRC Specialty. Laura’s efforts contributed to this being one of the most successful events NORCAL GRC held all year. President’s Award for Outstanding Service to NORCAL GRC Laura Finco has been an invaluable member of this club for many years. She has served as president for several terms, as secretary, and currently a director. In addition to the many ways Laura has contributed to the club through her service on the Board, over the last eight years she has given a huge boost to the awards banquet through her wonderful slideshows with photos of our dogs as well as slides of the awards recipients. Laura also single-handedly produces our club newsletter Golden Notes 4 times a year as editor and has done a wonderful job! Laura has also contributed to our agility trials and annual specialties in various ways. Ever a glutton for punishment, she is continuing to serve on the 2016 National Specialty committee in charge of grounds – but I know it won't stop there! And she does all this while working fulltime as a middle school science teacher in addition to her 2- and 4-legged family. I know I'm leaving something out because I'm sure Laura does things I don't even know about! The bottom line is she's worth her weight in gold. Thank you from all of us, Laura!

Don’t miss out on this fabulous seminar – and a chance to be part of a terrific fundraiser for the GRCA 2016 National - sponsored by NORCAL GRC. If you do any kind of performance activity with your dog, here's an excellent opportunity to learn how to get the most out of your canine partner as well as to prevent injuries. Petra Ford -- who has campaigned dogs at the highest levels in Obedience, Field and Agility -- is a renowned expert in canine physical and rehabilitation therapy. She operates Aqua Dog Rehabilitation in New Jersey http://aquadogrehab.com-- and luckily for us, she will be making a rare visit to California to present two hands-on seminars this coming November. Working and auditing spots will fill up fast. If you're interested in developing tools to develop your own personalized conditioning program for your dog, make sure you email Patti Kostakis at [email protected] to get priority registration. The skills you'll learn can be used to improve your dogs' fitness -- in every sport you enjoy with them, including conformation. Here is a quote from one of Petra’s clients (Andrae Accera): “With Petra’s conditioning program, my dog’s speed in agility has increased by 2 yards per second and she can turn on a dime. I can honestly say that you are going to LOVE the seminars and have a great time. Petra has done so much to help maximize my dog’s condition for agility, obedience and general health and well-being.” Petra knows what it takes to be a winner. She's earned titles at both the national and international level (including the prestigious Crufts show in England). Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the best.
