Multi Best In Show, Multi Reserve Best In Show, Multi Best In Specialty Show Grand Champion Gold
Kris's Kountry Poker Face
CGCA TKN
We are proud to share Poker on this week's front cover of ShowScene.
Poker was whelped from a litter of 11. His sire Cooper, finished in 3 shows during National week. Originally we sent Poker to Europe, Poland to be exact. While there he obtained a couple of Best in Show puppy awards to start building his credentials. At 20 months of age, we decided Pokers time to come back home to the USA was now.
Soon after arriving home, Poker hit the shows and quickly obtained his champion status with a couple of specialty wins, including finishing at the Indianapolis Saint Bernard Specialty under longtime breeder judge John Ramirez.
Poker quickly obtained his GCH title with his mom Kristi showing him and a few group placements plus 2 Specialty wins. Along with handler Trey Healy, Poker won the Saint Bernard Club of America Regional in Oregon.
In 2019 breeder and co owner Martin Glover started handling Poker, and he moved to the great Pacific Northwest. Poker quickly started to rack up multiple Group Wins and Group Placements.
The teams first Best in Show was at the beautiful Seattle Kennel Club under judge Sandy Walker. To say we were thrilled is an understatement. Saints just don’t go BIS every weekend.
Poker has been award to date:
4 Best in Shows
5 Reserve Best in Shows
Currently the team has achieved:
22 Independent Specialty wins
There is nothing like a Best in Specialty Show award from your peers!
For the years 2019 & 2020, Poker was chosen Select Dog at the Saint Bernard Club of America National along with “People’s Choice” for the Top 20.
Poker has qualified for Westminster Kennel Club for 2 years. In 2020 we decided to go and his first time hitting that amazing city and show, Poker was awarded Best of Breed Ribbon from judge Ms. Patti Widick Neal.
We are most proud of what Poker has done within our breeding program. That’s where it all starts and ends. To date, he has sired 3 litters. He has 8 champion kids and 3 GCH kids.

We are looking forward to making it thru the year that has brought us all a little time to be thankful. 2020 has been hard on everyone, and we sincerely wish everyone the best.
The Poker Club looks forward to more shows, and we can not thank all the judges enough who have awarded Poker in the past.
Cheers to more shows, 2021 and an end to Covid.

FAILED

FAILED
THAT, Section 24.1 RECOGNIZED BREEDS, be amended as follows:
“Brittany Spaniel” to read “Brittany”
With the poor turnout in voting in the CKC Election is it time to make changes to Section 24.1 of the bylaws in order that these breeds have a chance to pass?

Question of the Week
2020 has been a year like no other for all of us. We saw months with no events, we saw the interest in purebred dog puppy sales go through the roof. We have missed socializing in person with friends and family.
We lost some cherished members of the purebred fancy, and for far too many a family member. We saw the sad side of social media.
What has the year 2020 taught you?
Robert Denis – Ontario
2020 has taught me to slow down, take stock and appreciate the things that truly matter in this life. Your health, your family and your friends… So many other secondary things take up so much of our time, and bring us so very little in return.
Mike Macbeth – Ontario
Many people say that 2020 has been the worst year of their life. Of course, the losses have been devastating. But it has also given us a remarkable opportunity to slow right down and assess what is important.
So many of us have been constantly busy, travelling, rushing here and there, never able to catch up to our unfinished projects and good intentions. Of course, we miss our friends, our sport, our ability to socialize, to maintain our “normal” life. But this year has given us the luxury of time. With social isolation we have exchanged our frantic schedules for a chance to reflect upon and decide what is truly meaningful.
For some, every day is Groundhog Day, but for most of us, there are some remarkable lessons to be learned from 2020.
Sue-Ellyn Rempel – Manitoba
Sadly, how selfish some people are. There are anti maskers out there who do not believe in Covid, but they will put one on to show their dog! And personally, how blessed I am to have made so many great friends.
Jennie Behles – USA
It has taught me that my dogs keep me connected to the world and my dog friends provide me lots of knowledge and help in successfully conducting my life, as that is where my true interests lie.
It has taught me that you have to modify how you do things to keep your dog world going, flexibility is key. Look at how the Westminster Kennel club has thought outside of the box, and has now become a Castle. Old friends are best friends.
Sandra Lex – Ontario
To be so very thankful for what I have my health, my friends and to have my beloved Affens.
Denys Janssen -Colombia
Not to take anything for granted.
Dr. John Reeve-Newson – Ontario
To take things one day at a time, to be thankful for what we have. Savor our friendships. Most important to not take anything for granted – even life.
Andrew Brace – United Kingdom
2020 has taught me the value of true friends and the ability to travel freely. We have taken so much for granted and when things return to something resembling normality I'm sure all our priorities will have changed somewhat.
Arthur & Diane Newman – Quebec
To do our utmost to stay healthy and safe. Wishing that for everyone in the upcoming holiday season and in 2021.
Brian Taylor – Ontario
Unfortunately, in a year where smart choices should have been made for everyone’s safety & health, some people have shown how little they care about their fellow citizens in North America and made stupid choices detrimental to all.
Vicki Stephens – British Columbia
Never take tomorrow for granted. Tell people you love that you love them, every time you talk to them. Be kind, Be calm, Be safe.
Kate McMillan – Saskatchewan
That by providing us the opportunity to stay at home, along with a resurgent market for puppies, COVID-19 may have saved purebred dogs for a generation.
Alana Smith – Alberta
Don’t take each day for granted, keep in touch no matter how busy you are or think you are.
Never pick a nail polish color that you wouldn’t not want to wear for 6 months…. LOL
Merry Christmas to all, I have missed seeing everyone this year! Stay SAFE and Healthy! Until we meet again.
Ron Besoff – Australia
More than ever we harken back to our favourite life quote “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”
RC Carusi – USA
Life is precious don’t take it for granted! To think our whole lives we have taken breathing fresh air for granted!!!
Rhonda Holloway – Ontario
It was a harsh reminder to never take anything for granted. family, freedom, health!!!
Honey Glendinning – British Columbia
My parents lived through a war and I believe that had an influence on the supplies in our home. At times I made fun of her when I looked in the hall closet. Oh, hard lesson to learn. I now have a good supply of Toilet Paper, Kleenex, Toothpaste and laundry soap. In my kitchen soups, Chilli etc. On a more serious note, I have learned to not rely on what is written on my calendars. Life can change in a minute. Make the time to keep, in contact with friends and family. Take time to just enjoy the quiet beauty around you. We all want to get back to the freedom we enjoyed. Even looking forward to long lines and crowded airports, but hopefully this year will make us a little more grateful for still being here. Just a simple Thank you to all those that have kept us as safe as possible, health care workers, first responders, grocery clerks, mail people and even the garbage people that come and pick up, we would be in serious trouble without them.
Martin Glover – USA
That people who I thought I liked, I really don’t!!!
Kevin Colledge Grew – Ontario
Patience and compassion.
Don French – Ontario
2020 to me was to be a new year of vision. I believe COVID has brought that vision to many of us. Cherish the simple things we had in life, and that life and death still happen no matter what.
Denise Lavoie – Ontario
That I can’t imagine what life would be like without my dogs.
Sandy Carpenter – British Columbia
I learned the importance of not taking anything for granted. Such as there will be celebrations with family on holidays and dog shows. I also learned how I can manage staying home and not having to go out all the time.
Debbie Cornell- Charneski British Columbia
Be happy and grateful with what you have. And, I don’t need to have my nails done every 2 weeks. LOL
Brad & Christina Heard – Ontario
2020 taught us how much we love our dog show family and how much we miss doing dog shows, and seeing each other every weekend. Side note: Brittany Koffman (daughter-in law) We are grateful for all the time we got with Grammie and Papa B!!!
Elizabeth Heckert – USA
It taught me how much I could get done during the day if my idle time at the office wasn’t wasted trapped in those walls. Home and kennel run like a well-oiled machine when I can work from my home office. Idle time used to tidy up and entertain puppies. Slower pace of life to really enjoy the dogs. I will never go back.
Lori Pozniak - Saskatchewan
Especially this time of year I'm shopping local as much as I can, to support the small businesses and giving to others a lot more......We, fortunately have a business that wasn't affected by the COVID virus, and in fact were busier, but have to give notice to those less fortunate.
Hilary Chambers – Ontario
That, I’m endlessly grateful for my dogs and dog people...kindred spirits pulled me through this year!
Denise Branch – Ontario
It has taught me to cherish the most important things in life, family and the love of my dogs which give me joy. I miss see my friends and having person to person conversations with just people over coffee. Cherish every moment as life is full of surprises. Take care. Hug your dogs as they do not understand the changes in life.
Marg Moran McQuinn – Saskatchewan
I have always been pretty independent and perfectly content with my own company. 2020 has reinforced for me that happiness and contentment dos come from within. And that it is important to have interests, that you enjoy doing on you own.
Kim Cowie – Alberta
To be thankful for all that I have. A chance to re-group and focus on what is really important.
Madison Bernardin – Alberta
Live for today.
Heather Wippler – Ontario
My family is so big and I don't see all of them. I miss my babies and so grateful for Facetime so I don't miss them growing up so fast. So, I am so grateful for electronics cause if it wasn't for this we would not see each other at all. Grateful to have toilet paper too. LOL
Renee Russo – Ontario
Hmm.....What has 2020 taught me? It’s taught me that it’s more than just about ‘you’...it’s taught me that we’ve all had to make some huge sacrifices for the health & safety of others....Not being able to attend even one show this year because of the geography of where I live has been hard, but it also caused me to sit back & reflect on just how lucky I am to have the many friends, I have met along the way and how much I miss my dog show family. Not to mention the sport/hobby that I love! We’re so lucky to have the technology to keep in touch as we continue to deal with life right now! I look forward to the time when we can all get together once again....it will be one hell of a party!!!! Stay safe my friends.
Beth MacDonald – Ontario
How much we have missed our friends and family in our dog world. As well not to take things for granted.
Jennifer Remazki – Ontario
It has brought me back around to the things that are most important to me... That having and needing less is more... health, nature, family, dogs and purpose is what it’s about. Gratitude, simplicity, resilience and adaptability.
Sarah Duffy – Ontario
How much we take for granted, and to really love our friends, family and neighbours.
Victoria Thomas – Ontario
I am reminded of how wonderful it is to have good friends and good dogs.
Tracy Dineley – Ontario
2020 has taught me how much some people mean to me. Especially since I can’t spend time with them the way I want so I miss them a lot! It has also taught me to slow down, although that is still a work in progress. And it has reminded me how important it is for me to make time to enjoy my horses. They raise me up.
Sue Gamble – USA
2020 has taught me not to take anything for granted, and to live one day at a time, cherishing what I have.
Sharon Ayers – Nova Scotia
To appreciate what we have, and have had. Quality time with my dogs and husband (not necessarily in that order - but sometimes. LOL
Judee Valero – Quebec
2020 has taught me to stay focused on what is important in my life and keep enjoying all aspects of it while I can, as things can change so fast. It has taught me to keep embracing my loved ones, including my animals, let go of negativity, stay true to myself, and be proud of who I am and what I represent and to stay humble and thankful for what I have and continue to help and have empathy for others....
Susan Farrer Shephard – USA
Take nothing for granted.
Desi Murphy – USA
You can never predict the future.
Deborah Jeanne – Saskatchewan
I have and continue to help and have empathy for others.
Kelli Siderfin-Power – British Columbia
That life is short, and you need to live your best life today, and every day.
Amy Reilly – USA
That we are resilient, that we are capable of doing things outside of our comfort zone, and that who I'm around is way more important than the stuff I'm around. That being said dear God bring on 2021.
Joanna Leigh Parker – Ross – Nova Scotia
Never take for granted all the gifts you have received, freedom being one of the biggest.
Dianne Grant – Ontario
Live for the monument, life has no guarantees.
Shawn Nichols – Alberta
Don’t take anything for granted, 2020 has shown us how easily it can all change in a blink of an eye. Respect one another and don’t sweat the small stuff, at the end of the day it just doesn’t matter.
Andrea Walli – Ontario
Be extra especially kind...especially to grumpy people. They can't handle it.
Starr White – Ontario
What we said "will never happen" just might happen. Enjoy life to the fullest and make the most of a horrible situation. We said it cannot get worse, and sure enough, it got worse but most of us will survive.
Barbara Selby – Alberta
I learned you can’t help how others feel and what they do.
Rhoda Ace – Ontario
Despite recent events, 2020 has taught me to be grateful for what I have, not what I don’t have. Gratitude!!
Lisa Hartjes – Ontario
I always believed and still do, that a virus of some kind would take humanity down a notch. To planet earth we are like a virus ourselves, just too many of us, and something like Covid...really hasn't slowed us down much in destroying our own home. But we did see pollution levels in China go down for a while anyway. 2020 taught me that we can live without THINGS...like makeup and brand name clothes, shiny cars and perfumes, painted nails and fancy hair do’s. What I miss the most is being able to shake hands with a stranger, or hug a neighbour.
Leah Troisi – Ontario
Heartache... Pure heartache.... Crossing my fingers that the remaining weeks will have some light.
Suellen Fenton – Ontario
I have learned to enjoy the quiet, the comfort of holding a dog on my lap, the walks throughout the year in every kind of weather, books and more books. Quilting in my girl cave. I am ever so grateful that I still can keep myself busy and happy!!!
Hailey Griffith – Ontario
“Don’t quit, just pivot”
Louise Paquette – Ontario
When the chips are down, you find out who your true friends are.
Linda June. Faulkner – Ontario
Never too turn down a hug!
Gail Harper – Ontario
Never take things, family and friends for granted. Enjoy your family and friends, live each day. Thank goodness for
family including our dogs, and our true friends.
Terry Carter – Alberta
To appreciate time with friends and family. As well learning to adjust.
Kay Nickle – Ontario
I think it has made our family come closer than close. We were pretty tight to begin with! Have wonderful new friends I am so blessed to also have 3 great grandsons who fill my life with joy.
Nancy Dagley – Nova Scotia
It has let me take time for myself. Exercise, change of hair color. days of walking the dogs, reading a good book or watching a great movie. I have also had the joy of watching my 15 month old granddaughters face break into a big smile just because she saw me. I guess I have learned to enjoy the small things in life.
Barbara Magera – USA
Patience.
Caroline Thibodeau – Quebec
It taught me what I could live happier without in order to protect my life and that of others. Unfortunately, it also revealed that many other people were not willing to give up anything for the well-being of others.
Daria Edgecombe – Newfoundland
The importance of being a kind and caring person...That kindness is not just something we display once in a while or in particular situations, but, that it is a code by which we should live our lives.
Jean Tremblay – Ontario
Cherish your loved ones and do make the time to visit and hug while you can.
Leeza Friedman-Prokopishyn – Alberta
How to make jam, mostly. Although 2020 is not how I envisioned my year, that doesn't mean that I can't find genuine joy in small things.
Kim Leblanc – Ontario
The joy of spending loads of time with my grandkids and of course the rest of my family and friends. The pleasure of taking things slowly, because I don’t have to rush off to be somewhere else. Soaking up the sunshine.
Cindy Marie Macpherson – Prince Edward Island
It’s taught me dogs fallow simple instructions, better than humans, hands down. Which is #234325567654 why I like dogs better than people.
Nancy Jean – New Brunswick
I have had a home office for 7 months this year. Never in my 40 year military career have I ever worked in a home-office. This year taught me that my job should never have taken the hours away from my family that it did. I worked on average 3 hours a day not the 8-9 that I would have put in if I had been in the office. I may not have been able to see everyone whenever I wanted, but I definitely appreciate the time we do spend together much more.
Heather Pederson – British Columbia
To take a deep breath, wait, be patient and kind, understanding different people have different situations so don’t judge.
Shauna McLauchlan – Alberta
To appreciate all I have, my husband, my hounds, my friends. To try to be patient, and try to be kind. And to pray like I've never prayed, in a very long time.
Danita Gilmour – Saskatchewan
To take time to simplify life. Enjoy the quiet moments and cherish the amazing even crazy ones. Things can change so quickly.
Lynn Gore – Saskatchewan
That you can’t do anything “dog-show” if you don’t have yourself, your family, your health, physically and emotionally. To take the time to do you, and be well to do the other stuff. To reach out to friends near and far for yourself and them. At the end of the day when your head hits the pillow to dream about the good times and be thankful for all you have had so far.
Tammy Luethje – British Columbia
One step at a time, one moment at a time, one breath at a time. Don't live too far ahead of yourself, as this year has taught us that in the blink of an eye it can all be taken away.
Laurie Savoie – British Columbia
To ALWAYS say 'I love you"...See you down the road may never happen...the road ends.
Kristianne Schenk - British Columbia
To focus on things at home. As much as everyone misses dogshows, it's really not the end of the world. Relax, be kind, and hopefully this too shall pass.
Tina Gaudet – Alberta
Compassion and respecting differences of opinions.
Cheryl Kaberchuk – Alberta
Perspective.
Nancy Anstruther – Alberta
Patience and perspective. Patience in realizing that while they didn’t enjoy a puppy career, they will be better coming out as adults. Patience to watch them grow and appreciate the changes. Perspective in realizing again how much I enjoy exhibiting my dogs. I think I took it for granted, became cynical and forgot to enjoy the journey. And, I hope to carry the lessons forward when we can all show our best once again.
Sue-Ellyn Rempel – Manitoba
It’s not the dog showing or judging I miss...it’s all the wonderful people I have met. I also realize I have very few friends outside of the dog world...time to reconnect.
Carmen Haller – British Columbia
2020 has taught me the importance of kindness and concern for the well-being of others, not just oneself and that social media is not necessarily the best place to vent frustrations.
Virtual friends are important, but can’t replace the masked ones that are in our family, social bubble. Take Care and stay safe. Looking forward to life after Covid.
Ainslie Mills – British Columbia
Count your blessings, focus on the positive, do new things and enjoy your dogs as devoted and trusted companions while they help us weather these challenging times. Many people are creatively finding new ways to work and play and that is a good thing.
I miss judging and showing, seeing friends in the sport, going to classes with my dogs but for me, these activities are not essential for my survival. Physical distancing and wearing a mask is. (I do have a growing collection of masks!) I took advantage of the down time to have knee surgery and will be ready to go in the spring when the vaccines start to roll out. The increased time available has allowed me to read more, work on scrapbooks and scan over 800 family slides. I have seen 36 operas on the nightly Met Opera stream since May. I have taken online seminars and watched too much Netflix. I miss celebrating family events and lives that have been lost, but acceptance of things that we cannot change is important. I know I am lucky to have a home, a spouse, a faith and a pension income to sustain me through these months.
Alistair Sutherland – Ontario
It showed me just how far behind I was on chores at home! Got lots done!
Doug McIntyre - New Brunswick
Don’t take toilet paper for granted !!!!!!!!
Anita Cameron - Ontario
What a year it has been. Keep family and friends close, treasure every moment and a little cliche but tomorrow is promised to no one. Don’t wait to reach out to people because they may not be there tomorrow. Life as we know it can change in an instant so be kind and try to live as if tomorrow doesn’t exist!
Gerry Taylor - Manitoba
Make adjustments
Live with it
Try to keep as upbeat an outlook as possible
Be supportive to EVERYONE!

The Working/Herding Dog Digest
1) Describe your favorite dog show memory?
Winning a Working Group First in Southern California at a show that I first went to on public transportation at 15 years of age. The Rio Hondo Kennel Club in Pomona, California Under Judge Mrs. Sulie Greendale-Paveza, with my Akita Bitch that I had finished from the Bred by Class~ Grand Ch. London's Getting My Happy Back. Another great memory co-hosting the dog shows on Animal Planet with my co-host Mr. Edd Bivin.
2) Who has been your biggest influence in purebred dogs?
It would have to be two, BJ Andrews of Akita’s O'BJ in Asheville, North Carolina, the smartest person I have ever had the great fortune to know. She took me under her wing when I was just a know it all kid. I so wish they had not broken the mold when they made that one.
Her stud dog "Satchmo" still holds the record with over 100 Champions produced with NOT 1 puppy born from artificial semen. The other is Richard G. Beauchamp, he was my first boss at Kennel Review Magazine when I was 17 years old. Things he told me all those decades ago still rings true today.
3) Do you believe the bred by exhibitor class holds as much importance at all-breed shows, as it does at the specialty shows?
Of course not. All-Breed shows can never compare to the deep quality that is only found at Specialties.
4) Pair two judges you would like to see on Dancing with the Stars?
Pamela Bruce & Dr. John Reeve- Newson. I would love to tag along with them to help with the music choices and work as Pam's personal bodyguard and exclusive photographer. For Dr. John what person that loves style would not want to be that fashion plate's personal shopper.
5) Name a dog show you have never attended that is on your bucket list?
Without a doubt I wish I could go back in time and attend the Show of Shows. The glamour seemed unrivaled by any other event in North America.
6) If you could have sat ringside and discussed dogs with someone no longer with us, who would it be and why?
Morley Thornton. I met Mr. Thornton when I was still in high school when he gave my mom's Italian Greyhound a Group First at the Long Beach Kennel Club in California. Later got to know him better as he would accompany Great Dane legend Ms. Lina Basquette to the Tournament of Champions (A show designed like Canada's Show of Shows-initially Best in Show Winners only were invited to compete). I found him to be quite interesting in a quirky sort of way. Would most definitely get a lot out of sitting ringside in 2020 with an elderly Morley Thornton discussing dogs ...and just a teeny-tiny bit of good gossiping.
7) Are the clubs putting enough emphasis on hiring breed or group specialist judges on their panels?
They can't the best ones are taken first so a show chairman has no other choice but to keep moving down the list.
8) If you could give all clubs one piece of advice from an exhibitor or judges point of view, what would it be?
Be nice to the vendors-listen to what they want and give it to them. Have a Judge's dinner on Saturday night. After being on their feet all day Judge's should not be expected to fend for themselves EVERY night.
9) Do you think there are too many dog shows?
Yes, we should not have show’s on Wednesdays.
10) Which word or phrase do you most overuse?
Listen to me!
