President’s Letter July 07
Our 75th anniversary national was a great show. The atmosphere was won-derful, with great Poodles, super decorations, and enthusiastic exhibitors. This wasour biggest overall entry ever, with field trials, obedience, agility, and breed compe-tition. The versatility of our Poodles in all aspects were celebrated in fine style.The AKC’s web site shows off pictures from the PCA Hunt Trial. Go to:http://www.akc.org/events/hunting_tests/retrievers/poodle_coa/2007/index.cfmOur National Show Chairman was unable to be there this year, due to whelp-ing a litter, so her most able assistant chairman, Richard Lehman, did an excellent job. Richard is to be congratulated for putting it together and making it all work.Kudos, Richard. All the committees worked hard to make this the best PCA Na-tional. Each and every committee needs an extra round of applause for jobs welldone.Annie's remembrance was both a sad and happy time. Several of her closefriends were there for the presentation: Mari-Beth O'Neill, Betsey Lebet, ThomasBradley, III, and Jim Reynolds. It seems impossible that PCA’s 75th show couldhave happened without her, but she would have been pleased and proud of thisyear’s show.The 75th nostalgia DVD of past PCAs from the fifties and sixties was a bighit. Many people were fascinated by footage from the old shows, trying to identifythe handlers and judges. One of the judges from the earlier events was MaxineBeam, this year’s miniature judge. A special thank you to Scott Olund and TomCarneal for rescuing these memories for our 75th. Sales from the DVD will be usedto help defray the cost of the 75th anniversary show.As everyone may now know, the Board has decided to hold the parade of champions separately for each event at the National.(More details in this newslet-ter.) This will allow the maximum number of spectators to see the titled dogs intheir individual events.The board is working with Peggy McDill (corresponding secretary) to keepup with the anti-dog legislation in California. Peggy has been an active participantin opposing the bill to mandate neutering and spaying dogs or requiring fees to keepbreeding animals. PCA is ready to help in any way we can as a club. All dog peopleshould be working to help defeat the final vote on this bill. Our thanks go to Peggyfor her efforts and for keeping us informed on the progress to defeat this unfortu-nate legislation.The PCA Foundation will now be a separate entity from the Poodle Club.More information about this is elsewhere in this newsletter. Nothing has changed,however, in our dedication to supporting the Foundation.I am looking forward to seeing you all again at the Regional in Californiaand the National next April.Thank you all again for making our 75th specialty such an overwhelmingsuccess. Without everyone’s hard work and enthusiasm, we could not have hadsuch a great time.Enjoy your Poodles!Doris Cozart
