GRCH/AKC CH Debonair’s Some Kinda Wonderful is
currently on the UKC Top Ten. He represents a great
part of Debonair American Eskimos. His paternal
grandfather was Natl. GRCH/AKC CH Sierra Chip
Off The Block (“Conan”) and his maternal grandfather
was GR CH/AKC CH Debonair’s Dancers Image
(“Rambo”). He is out of GRCH/AKC CH Debonair’s
Demolition Man (Optigen clear) and GRCH/AKC CH
Debonair’s First Generation (Optigen clear). We at
Debonair American Eskimos are very proud of him and
look forward to the future.

As this is being prepared for publication, Hurricane Ike
is getting ready to strike the gulf coast and our members
are evacuating. From hurricanes to earthquakes, from
fires to floods, all parts of our country are vulnerable.
A pet disaster kit is vital to ensure a pet’s survival.

President
I hope everyone is making their plans for their trip to
NY. The Fingerlakes club has been working hard to do
their part in making National weekend a huge success.
PLEASE don’t forget to order your T-shirts. Below is
the order form link.
http://www.fingerlakeclub.com/orderform.html
We’ll see you there!!!
I would like to once again remind everyone who is a
Purina® Pro Club® member that our UKC National
Club still participating in the Purina Parent Club
Partnership Program.
Through the PPCP Program, Purina and the AKC
Canine Health Foundation work together to help parent
clubs address priority health concerns for their breeds
and areas not previously funded.
Here’s how the PPCP Program works: Pro Club members
redeem weight circles from bags of participating Purina
brand dog foods. Purina tracks these weight circle
submissions, and for every $100 of qualifying weight
circle points earned by Pro Club members, Purina
donates $10 to the participating national parent breed
club.
It takes 6 weeks to process points, so make sure to get
them in before the end of the year.

My “addiction” to the NAEDA National show began
in Minnesota in 2002 when my home club (NLAEDA,
MN) was the host. I wasn’t overly involved in the club
before that, being a rookie in the world of dog shows. That was the weekend that changed my life. I thought
all this dog show stuff was fun and all, but was it really
what I was going to get into? When I saw all the quality
of dogs from all across the country coming together
showcasing their “stuff” I fell in love. My theory has always been that even if I don’t have
a dog that I want to bring to a National show it’s still
important to be there. I actually took my first dog to
compete for NGCH last year in Portland. Other years
I’ve just gone for the experience.
We make many decisions at the National meetings that
affect the future of our breed standard... I want to be a
part of that. We make many decisions at the National
meetings on how we are going to spend the money we
raise through our shows to support other non-profit
organizations that benefit the American Eskimo…I want
to be a part of that. I want my local club represented at
the National when issues are discussed that will effect
them. UKC gives us an update to anything new that
they have going on and gives us the opportunity to
ask any questions we have about the direction they are
going. I want to be a part of the future of the American
Eskimo and this is the place to do it.
For my breeding program I take the opportunity to travel
to other parts of the country to check out what else is
out there. So often we go to the “easy” stud that’s near
by but there could be a fantastic stud across the country
that would have complimented your program great but
you’d never know that if you didn’t go to that National

because of the National weekends. The show is great
and fun but it’s really the people that make it happen. The auction is fantastic and I spend way too much
money on fabulous prizes… I do however draw the
line at $150 banana bread (Bob Brekke). I talk to
many NAEDA members almost daily on the phone but
only get to see them once a year. It’s a lot of work as a
board member but it’s all worth it when we can sit back

the National dawns clear and bright. We are grooming

a big grassy area. During the taking of entries, Diana

The next national we hosted kind of came up at the last
minute and was much more difficult, administratively.
We could not use TCOTC as it was already committed
for that weekend. We ended up getting another dog
training facility in Hugo, Minnesota about thirty miles
further away from the airport. It is always more difficult
to use a facility where you do not know the people
in charge, but it worked. We did not have as many
dogs for that show. But I do remember we had a very
successful auction. I think we doubled the amount that
had been raised previously. Additionally we had items
for an auction for our local club as well. The auctions
were successful but by time the auctions were finished
and it was time for the General Membership Meeting it
was very late. I think we ended up having the Board of
Directors meeting Sunday morning. We did not have a
banquet. People went out on their own to eat. didn’t go on the trip.
Three of us from the newly formed Northern Lights
club drove from MN to Memphis, arriving in the wee
hours of the morning and after becoming quite lost in

my traveling companions. I believe Mary had Yeti or
Jep with her and Diane had Angel. I think they were
entered in Obedience only but I really cannot remember.
What I do remember is that the Obedience was held out
in the parking lot under a tent. Spike was in Novice
and he had a very attractive Golden Retriever next to
him who he just could not keep his eyes off of! During
the long sits Spike kept leaning as far over toward the
Golden as he could without breaking his sit and would
sniff longingly. The Golden totally ignored Spike. With about two seconds left in the long sit, Spike could

-Rescued Eskie Adopted-
he former “Q-Tip”, a mini eskie male found
wandering Phoenix streets after a violent rainstorm in May, has found a home with an adoptive family in Sedona, Arizona.
- How To Enjoy A National Do You NEED A Dog?
Q-tip was formally surrendered to AAEA representatives Terry and Nancy Glenn on Friday evening,
August 22, the same day that a vet visit pronounced
him to be healthy and heartworm free. AAEA club
members Vada Binick, Laura Krause, and Lisa Shelton had found three prospective adoptive families
for Q-tip. The first of these, Sedona residents Don
and Karen Denison, visited the Glenns on Saturday,
loved Q-tip, and took him home with them. Karen
Denison wrote AAEA members on Sunday to say
that Q-tip had been renamed “Cricket” and that he
was “heaven sent…he is safe and secure with us.”
Thanks to all the people who helped Cricket’s (Qtip’s) story have a happy ending! Trophies - Of course you have to win to get one, but
that makes them all the more desired. For this one - you
need a dog!
Phoenix resident Traci Kodet, mom of four small
children, had spied the forlorn little Eskie, coat
matted, wandering her neighborhood looking for
shelter from the rain. She took him into her home,
then to a groomer, who shaved Q-tip (hence the
name) because he was so matted there was no
other humane choice. Q-tip was wearing a leather collar without tags, and the groomer could not
find a microchip. Over the next few months, Traci
searched on the internet, advertised in local newspapers, and plastered posters around the neighborhood where Q-tip was found. All to no avail. However, Traci’s internet searches had turned up
a contact with the Arizona American Eskimo Association. Traci emailed the club secretary, who
canvassed club members to see who could do a
home visit to evaluate the dog. Terry and Nancy
Glenn stepped forward. The couple visited Q-tip,
and pronounced him to be mellow and loving, a
miniature, compatible with children, dogs, and
humans. Terry and Nancy offered to foster the
dog until a home could be found.
Q-tip was the Arizona club’s first formal foray into eskie rescue and no one was quite sure how to proceed. Club members agreed that a vet visit was the appropriate next step, and voted to use club funds to pay initial
vet expenses. The AAEA secretary then contacted
Kim Galloway, NAEDA rescue, who offered guidance. Kim, in turn, contacted NAEDA Treasurer
Sally Bedow, who said NAEDA rescue funds could
be tapped if necessary for treatment of any health
issues.
Of course, any dog show is much more fun if you have
a dog entered in the competion, but if your perfect dog
isn’t ready or isn’t even born yet, you can still enjoy a
National Dog Show.

The only guaranteed way not to do well at a National
is don’t go and don’t enter your dog. Every now and
then you might even get the surprise of a lifetime. Ask
