February Board of Directors Meeting:
FSS Guidelines
Ms. O’Neill, staff, was present for this portion of the meeting.
There was a motion by Mrs. Schaefer, seconded by Dr. Battaglia, it was VOTE (unanimously;absent Dr. Haines) to amend the Foundation Stock Service Guidelines to lower the
number of
dogs required in order to request Miscellaneous Class status. Effective
immediately, a
minimum of 150-200 dogs with complete three-generation pedigrees must be
recorded in the
AKC Foundation Stock Service as part of the criteria for eligibility to move to
the Miscellaneous
Class and advancement to full registration will be contingent on growth in the
enrollment of dogs
in FSS and participation in AKC events.
Thank you to

Dear Lana, Cat, et al,
Just wanted to touch base to pass on a couple few photos and
to share some of Charlie's progress in settling into his
new digs. Our weather's been really
lousy for ideal light, but hope to capture some of his moves at some
point in the near future. For instance, I've watched him soar about
7-8ft high going after his favorite ball.
We took the Chuckster to the coast a couple weeks back. It was low
tide & he had a great time frolicking. It being our 1st time there
together, I didn't want to encourage him to wade/swim, but we found
a great beach and he had a field day romping. We've got a creek
walking distance from us - only ankle deep in most places, but
there's a couple easy to access swimming holes for him - so I did
find out last week that he's not shy about taking a dip...so long as
there's a stick in the offing.
