The following is a short critique from our Judge, Mr. Robert Stein:
I certainly enjoyed judging the National Specialty of the Canaan Dog Club of
America. I have judged this breed for quite a few years dating back to when
they just came into the Miscellaneous Class. I found that the breed has
reached a greater level of consistency and the overall quality has definitely
improved.
I found my class winners both out of the Puppy classes and these two winners
had correct proportions, good head and ear characteristics, proper tail
carriage and correct movement. The Best of Breed and Best of Opposite also
possessed these same qualities and my Award of Merit was a close runner-up.
I want to thank all of the officers and members for making me part of
your beautiful specialty.
Sincerely,
Robert Stein

Obedience and Rally
There were seven entries in rally and obedience. Three dogs in Rally (Taavi
in Novice A, Smudge in Novice B, and Oz in Advanced and Excellent). Three dogs
were entered in obedience — one in PreNovice (Bear) and two in Novice B
(Smudge and Roxy).
Bear got a 2nd place in prenovice, his very first time in the ring!!!
Smudge and Roxy both showed in Novice B, but did not receive qualifying
scores.
Taavi also had his very first time in the rally ring (Rally Novice A) on
Friday. He did not qualify, but he did impress everyone with his calm and
handsome demeanor while waiting for his turn!
Smudge did very nicely in Rally Novice B, earning a green Qualifying ribbon
with a very nice score!! (94, I think).
Oz and Eileen Qualified in both Rally Advanced B and Rally Excellent B on
both Friday & Saturday (also picking up at least one placement ribbon).
These two double Qs gave them their third and fourth double Qs towards their
RAE title (they need ten in total).
Thanks to Cynthia Grupp, Evan Kent, Renee Kent and Jennie Larkin.
2006 CDCA National Specialty Herding Instinct Test
By Denise Gordon
This year's herding instinct test was held at Glenrose Farm in the hills of
Jamul, California, on Monday, May 22, 2006. The drive from San Diego to the
farm could best be described as “scenic” by some and “an
adventure” by others as it was reached via highway, winding 2-lane
mountain roads, and erosion-rutted gravel/dirt lanes. In addition, it was
typical CDCA herding weather for the group of 15 Canaan Dogs and their owners -
slightly windy with drizzle / rain. However, the drive was well worth its
trouble and the sun eventually came out during the course of the day as the
test evaluator, Laura Noll, owner of Glenrose Farm and an AKC/AHBA judge,
observed the entrants working the wooly sheep in the large pen. Of the 14 dogs
entered for evaluation, 10 passed, giving this year's test a 71.4% success
rate, well above average in the 40-80% range for Canaan Dogs. The non-evaluated
Canaan that day was CH. Madriver Samara Desert Star Dawn, CGC, RN, CDCA-HCX,
PN, who was entered For Exhibition Only.
Of the 10 Canaan Dogs that passed the test that day, 8 achieved their
Herding Certified (HC) titles, 1 attained his Herding Certified Excellent (HCX)
title, and 1 earned her second qualifying score of the required three for the
HCX title. The “Best Rookie” trophy (for the Canaan Dog having no
prior experience with livestock), a hand carved dogwood shepherd's crook
donated by Denise Gordon in memory of “Wolf” (1993 Best Rookie),
was awarded to HaTikva Cherrysh Taavi Dream (“Taavi”), owned by
Risa Baumrind of New Harmony, Utah. The “Best Senior” herding
trophy (for the Canaan Dog with any type of prior experience with livestock), a
sheep motif candy dish, donated by Denise Gordon in memory of
“Wolf”, was awarded to CH. Riverroc Three Sunrises Lyceum, HC
(“Marley”), owned by Renee and Evan Kent of Wood River Junction,
Rhode Island. Laura had excellent advise for all who entered, whether their
dogs passed the test or not, and encouraged those owners of the latter group
not to give up just because that day was not their day (for whatever reason)
and everyone agreed that it was an enjoyable day, despite the usual
weather.

National Specialty Catalog
For those wishing to put an ad in the National Specialty catalog, you need
to get it to me with the appropriate fees as a CAMERA READY AD (this means I
don't have to do anything to it, except send it to the Superintendent for
publication) by the deadline of APRIL 7th. By anything, that means it must be
the right page size (no reducing or enlarging is necessary), there are no
spelling or font errors (some electronic files arrive with gibberish instead of
the correct word because of the incompatiblity of fonts between computers), and
any photos are cropped to size to fit the ad area (in the case of electronic
files, they are of a high resolution so that they don't wash out or are blurry
when printed as hard copy).
Please keep in mind, the simpler the ad, the more impact. If you try to fill
every inch with text and/or artwork or photo, the ad will not come off cleanly
or look as nice when it is reduced by Bradshaw for final publication. Use fonts
that have crisp, clean looking text (some script fonts can be unreadable when
reduced). REMEMBER THAT ALL ADS MUST BE CAMERA READY. I don't have the time or
computer capabilities to fix ads; they will be sent directly to Bradshaw as is
and if it doesn't turn out like you wish, please keep that fact in mind when
you call to complain.
Bradshaw (the superintendent) said that full page ads must be formatted to 8
1/2" x 11" with 1/2" top and bottom margins, and 1" side margins. So half page
and quarter ad sizes fall into 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" (same margins) and 2 1/8" x 2
3/4", respectively. Photos are only allowed in the full page ad and are an
additional cost.
The ad information (including costs) is listed in the premium list. If
you've not yet gotten your premium list or you need further information, please
feel free to contact me.
Thanks,
Denise Gordon, Catalog Ad Chair
