History in dogs

Judy Taylor

CANDIDATE FOR ONTARIO WEST

C.K.C. BOARD OF DIRECTORS

History in dogs:

I started breeding dogs in 1963. My first breed was Collies, & shortly after I began breeding Golden Retrievers. Since then, I have always only bred Goldens.

In 1968 I began professional handling of dogs for the conformation ring. I have handled dogs in all groups; but became popular with Rottweilers, Great Danes, German Shepherds & Bassets.

	In 1993 I was awarded Pedigree Pal Handler of the Year.
	In 1996 I successfully handled a Rottweiler to number 1 working & number 2 All Breed.
	I have trained in obedience (I actually started out there under the tutelage of our great mentor Jake) & have achieved U.D. on some of my Goldens.
	I have bred dogs that have succeeded in obtaining their W.C.X. & currently have aspirations in attempting to get a working degree on a current dog.
	I was instrumental in developing the Code of Ethics for both the Golden Retriever Club of Canada & the C.K.C..

Present:

	I am currently working on my judge's license: I am licensed for Group 1 & have applied for the first half of Group 7.
	I am still breeding Golden Retrievers with renewed enthusiasm.

Qualifications:

	In the past I have been vice-president & on the executive of the Golden Retriever Club of Canada.
	I was a founding member & discipline chairman of the Professional Handlers Association of Canada.
	I held executive positions on the current Canadian Professional Handlers Association, including President.

If Elected:

	I will work aggressively against Breed Specific Legislation.
	Strive for accountability in all endeavors of the Board.
	Re-instate a qualified CEO or at least an Office Manager.
	The list goes on & on! The judge's test is far too easy! (I don't mean the first one: just the ones after! Not that this means these people make for good judges!) Cut back on the number of shows?
	This is just the beginning: I do know that most of the proposals in the beginning of the proposed referendum I am against.
	Do what is best for purebred dogs in Canada & stop the bickering!
	We need a Board that will make decisions & not table & postpone issues!
