Our busy summer schedule is now subsiding and it's time

to make plans for the fall.

This month I wanted to make mention that the PWDCC is

working on policies and procedure’s for our National PWD

Rescue & Relocation Program. On occasion, PWD's have been

found in shelters, advertised for sale in a local paper, on the

internet or wandering the streets with no identification. It is

our responsibility to be proactive as breeders and dog owners

to make every effort possible to provide for the breed we are

so passionate about.

I personally feel the number one thing to help with Rescue

is for breeders and owners to keep in touch with each other.

Communication should always be an open two way street.

Ethical breeders who truly care about the breed should

always be the first contact if something happens in the

owner's life that impedes his/her ability to care for the dog,

either short or long term. Breeders understand that as life

goes on there are deaths in the family, household moves,

and illnesses. As a PWD owner, never hesitate to contact your

breeder with your questions, general inquiries and/or any

training/behavioral problems. With the convenience of email

we are always just a click away and ready to respond at what-

ever time of the day.

Breeders could also keep an up-to-date database of the

puppy owners for each litter whelped on an Excel spread-

sheet. The spreadsheet is a convenient way to also keep track

of registration numbers (to save time searching when entering

shows!), CERF numbers and OFA ratings all in the same spot!

Since all puppies in a litter rarely end up in the same area,

you can also send regular emails out to your puppy owners

with your kennel related brags, any dog events or articles that

may interest your owners, and maybe even all the PWDCC

news (wink, wink). Most puppy owners are very receptive to

interacting and remaining part of the PWD "Family".

All club members can help with Rescue by checking their

local papers, shelters if possible, and becoming "mentors" to

new owners. If any club member is aware of a dog that is in

need of rescue, they should advise the dog owner to contact

his/her breeder. If contacting the breeder is not a possibility

than please feel free to contact the PWDCC Rescue coordina-

tor Mari Szauerzopf (see her contact information below).

Brenda Brown, President PWDCC

Diane Castellan, (right), co-founder of the PWDCC at an early grooming seminar.

When and how did you discover this breed?I was working my Rottie in Agility when I met my first PWD.

I thought how delightful to have a breed who is really built for

Agility.

Then I met Bev Franklin working Buccee at Durham Kennel

Club in N.C., where I used to spend my winters. I also met a

wonderful lady who owned a Pinehaven male, Ch Pinehaven's

Dock of the Bay, at the Tar Heel Circuit shows in Raleigh N.C.

just before I went into the ring with my Rottie. She told me of

a fantastic litter in Birmingham Alabama and although I wasn't

ready to delve into PWDs, I was sent a video of the litter and I

bought a female from that litter.

At that time, were there many breeders ofPWDs in Canada?There were one or two in Ontario and I am not sure when the

West Coast breeders started. There was also Ruth Fisher in

Alberta. I was in the States for half the year and started look-

ing into breeders there. The PWDCA had an pamphlet which

inspired me to breed healthy PWDs.

What types of activities were available at thattime for PWD lovers?At first we couldn't show our dogs in conformation as we

weren't even in the miscellaneous group, then we were and we

could show in conformation. Whenever it came to choosing a

judge from the list in a show, we often chose someone who

had judged a Rottweiler Specialty. They knew good structure

but not always PWD type.

What was the name of your first PWD?My first PWD came from Ellen Allen in from that fantastic lit-

ter in Birmingham. She was Aabest Ragamuffin of Cosmos.

Was this dog the first one that you bred?No, Muffy's bite went off and her hips didn't pass OFA. The

first Water Dog I bred was Am Can Ch Questar's Phoebe of

Cosmos and I bred her to Am Can Ch Fantaseas The Navigator.

Then I bred her to BISS AM CAN CH Pinehaven's Casablanca

and learned first hand about our juvenile cardiomyopathy.

What helped you to decide to breed PWDs?I had been in dogs since I was in my 20s and whenever I pur-

chased a dog, it was from the best stock I could get after a lot

of research and it was to show and breed. I breed to produce a

masterpiece!

You won a PWDCA National Specialty. Whatwas that like?It was what every breeder dreams of doing. I bought BISS AM

CAN CH Pinehaven's Casablanca from Beverly Rafferty of

Colorado and started campaigning "Bogey" in the states. Just

before the Specialty Bogey came down with a recurrance of

polyarthritis he developed at 2 years of age after his booster

vaccinations and especially because of the Leptospirosis shot.

That ended his showing because he looked and acted like a

sick dog. I went back to my NC vet and she put Bogey on a

prednizone taper which put him back on track. I didn't know

whether he could be shown the week before the Specialty but

Bogey did bounce back. That left me with no handler as they

all had to make commitments ahead of time. So Bogey and I

arrived at the Specialty looking for someone to handle him.

Morgin Quirin of Driftwood offered to show him and Beverly

Rafferty said Jack Girton could handle Bogey. Morgin gracious-

ly stepped down and Bogey won with Jack. Jack Girton is such

a great handler that he hadn't even worked Bogey before he

took him in the ring. So it is a great thank you to Bev and

Jack for breeding Bogey, allowing me to share my life with him

and win the National Specialty. Bogey, now 13, has always

been the Light of my Life!!!

How did you decide to start the PWDCC?The public was looking for dogs and not having much success

getting what they were looking for. So Diane Castellan and I

started the PWDCC with the idea of putting out a pamphlet

detailing what to look for, what health tests were available and

how to evaluate an ethical breeder. Then with a membership

vote, we passed a code of ethics. Don't know what happened

to the code now.

We also put on Agility and grooming workshops for interested

owners and went far and wide looking for prizes with Water

Dogs on them for our booster shows to encourage people to

show their dogs. Many Americans came up to show because

our standard was FCI rules and only the Lion Clip was allowed

and also because of the fantastic prizes.

Were there many members when you started?Most were in Ontario but not many. We really had difficulty

getting enough PWD owners from across the provinces to have

enough representation for a National Club but we eventually

found them in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and BC. (like one or

two in each province).

How did youreach out toother PWDowners?By putting on semi-

nars (Agility and

grooming) later a

yearly fun water day

and hikes.

Early PWDCC events, from the top left: going to a Fall Hike on the TorontoIslands; an Eye Clinic at Cathie Sockett’s home in Orillia; an Agility seminar atBarb Floch’s farm; a Water Fun Day led by Cathy Gadd at Shadow Lake.

What advice would you have for anyone who islooking into owning a PWD?Do your homework. Don't just look for a reputable breeder

although that is important. Look into training. There are so

many people who don't really understand the underlying prin-

ciples of training and the amount of work and time needed to

raise a puppy properly. Some breeders also don't really under-

stand training and temperament development and I think that

is dangerous when they try to place puppies in homes without

knowing how to guide new puppy people so they are success-

ful with their puppies. Too many people want to choose a

puppy by color instead of temperament.

How do you see the future of this breed inCanada?I am really worried about this precious breed. There are breed-

ers breeding for their own egos or for financial gain instead of

the welfare of the breed. I wish everyone who bred did so for

the welfare of the breed. That means they donate part of the

proceeds to health research, donate their time to raise litters

for research and are truly interested in furthering the welfare

of the breed.

What do you think of the PWDCC now?I think as a club they are fantastic.

I am really impressed with what the people in Ontario have

done working wise with the breed. (I don't really know what is

happening in the other provinces right now.) We have a group

of dedicated owners who can hold their own in any Water Trial

and have done well at American Specialties. They are an inspi-

ration to the breed. I am also impressed with the fantastic

improvement in the PWDCC magazine, The WaterLog. It is a

great magazine. The website is fantastic too.

The PWDCC has a lot of fresh blood which is also good for any

breed. I wish there were more informational seminars given by

people who really have been in the breed a long time and

know what they are talking about – Conformation, Agility,

breeding, positive training methods. I wish there were more

breeder education seminars or that breeders could attend

Judges’ Seminars. A great club will rally around education, in

my opinion. It takes time and volunteers to do the work neces-

sary for a club to provide education.

We are lucky to have the PWDCA as an inspiration. They have

more years experience, a greater population, and more money

to research into health problems. I guess our club could raise

money for research to donate to the PWDCA or the PWD

Foundation, could openly publish and have the general public

aware of the need for rescue but the PWDCC is doing an excel-

lent job on what they are doing and it takes time to develop

these programs.

Since our country is so big, there is a lot of diversity from

region to region. I am so happy to see most of the exhibitors

in Ontario show in the traditional Lion Clip. In B.C. I see most

dogs in the Retriever Clip and some good dogs in the Lion Clip

are overlooked because they don't look like the majority (one

of the Retriever Clip dogs was of my breeding too).

I would love to see the PWDCC take seriously a code of ethics.

I am surprised to hear some people breeding without the

accepted health tests (GM1, OVC or OFA for hips, Optigen,

and yearly CERF exams). How can this be good for the breed?

The PWDCC is a great club and has come a long way. I hope

they see the path of setting a standard for responsible owner-

ship and responsible breeding. Then cross our collective fin-

gers and hope that people will care enough about this breed to

contribute to the welfare and not the downfall of this truly

wonderful breed. It's in all our hands.

Thanks, Barb!

7th at the Seaway Dog Show in Thorold,

Ontario. The competition field

was strong with many of

Ontario’s best Junior Handlers

vying for top honours. Three

competitors selected PWD’s as

their teammates in their bid to

represent Central Ontario at the

National Finals in Manitoba

later this year.

The PWD equipped competi-

tors, Sara Szauerzopf, Brennan

Bérubé and Arielle Bérubé are

no strangers to the junior ring

but the coincidence of all three

selecting PWD’s for the evening

competition increased their

stress levels as they believed it

unlikely that the judges would

promote three dogs of the same

breed in three of the 4 compe-

tition classes.

The competition was tight from

the start in the Junior Novice

field with three brilliant under

age 12 performances. The

judges however were taken by

the efforts of Brennan Bérubé

showing Chloë (an 11 month

The days of PWD’s being over-looked at confirmation shows arenumbered. In recent years more mem-bers of the PWDCC have been earning

increasingly better finishes in shows

across Canada. The same can be said

for junior showmanship. Although

‘juniors’ is primarily about the handler’s

ability, the dogs thAT these competitors

choose to show are a significant part of

a successful title bid.

This year the ‘by invitation only’ Central

Ontario Junior Finals were held on May

old, black female PWD) out of Drewsar

Kennels in Moffat, Ontario. Together

they rose to the head of their class.

In Junior Open, Sara Szauerzopf demon-

strated her outstanding showmanship

abilities with Maddie, a two-

year-old silver Ferncliff Kennels

Champion PWD (Maddie has

accepted a new position with

Drewsar Kennels). It was diffi-

cult for the audience to spot

any faults between the com-

petitors and all agreed that

they were glad not to be one of

the three judges for this com-

petition. Again, the han-

dler/PWD team took top hon-

ours.

Skipping ahead to the Senior

Open class (often the toughest in all

junior handling levels) Arielle Bérubé

was pensive going into the ring with

Ch Ondulado's Schooner D'Sonoqua.

Although ‘Schooner’ is consistently one

of Canada’s top dog’s, the judges had

already put up two PWD’s. In the end,

they took second place behind a three

time regional winner. Arielle and

Schooner ‘showed’ on to earn the overall

reserve winner title. This placement

would send this team off to the National

Finals if for any reason the first place

winner is unable to go.

The success of all three PWD’s within

the same competition is encouraging

and speaks to the evolving quality of the

breed. All members of the Portuguese

Water Dog Club of Canada can share in

this victory. We are doing a great job in

promoting the breed.

Congratulations Brennan, and Arielle

and a special congratulations to Sara for

earning a special ‘Most Points’ honour

at the competition.

The second PWDCC Water Trial took

place again at the beautiful Royackers

facility near Gueph. An enthusiastic

group of participants gathered on Friday

for a wonderful day of coaching by

Judge Charles White from Houston. On

Saturday, the first teams went under his

watchful eye. Highlights were Donna

Gottkdenker’s young dog Valentino earn-

ing both his Apprentice and Working

titles. Ann Douglas with her wonderful

working dog Jonah, just showed up to try

and earned a Junior title. Both Sharky,

handled by Fred Brauning all the way

from Michigan, and Cathy Gadd han-

dling Sam, showed the novices beautiful

Courier runs, with the extrordinarily dif-

It was great to have our first Judge,

Chuck Robinson, back supporting his wife

her Working title. Chuck’s quiet coaching

and advice was much appreciated.

From AlbertaWater Training CampJune 18-19, 2005

The Alberta Club

was excited to host

a Water Clinic for

its club members,

and was pleased to

have Catherine

Gadd accept to

instruct our clinic.

The event was held

at Buffalo Lake

which is situated between Calgary and

Edmonton; this made it easy for all

members to attend. We had a wonderful

campsite with beachfront access, and a

total entry of 17 dogs ranging from

Junior to Working level registered for

this clinic. With the date being set for

June, we had all kept our fingers

crossed that Mother Nature would be on

our side. Little did we know that this

was going to be the worst year for rain in

Alberta history. We had already had

major flooding in the Calgary area a

week prior to the clinic, and unfortu-

nately the Friday of the Water Clinic the

skies opened up once again. We are very

proud to announce that not one partici-

pant cancelled due to weather (although

I believe a lot of us we’re thinking it!)

With the rain still coming down on the

Saturday morning some quick re-arrang-

ing of the day was in order. Thanks to

Audrey Hawthorne for offering her motor

home for a revamped

indoor lesson area.

You can fit 22 peo-

ple in a motor home

if it means staying

dry and warm! After

some discussion

inside, we decided to

suit up and venture

out to the lake.

Although we limited

our demands of our dogs due to the

weather, everyone had a chance to do

some boat work, as well as other

retrieves. Thanks to Betty McLean and

Perry Massner for sharing their dryers so

the dogs could get dry and stay warmer.

By the evening the rain had tapered off

to more of a drizzle and a Pot luck din-

ner by a campfire was enjoyed by all.

Sunday morning brought us a slight

mist, but the weather forecasted sunny

skies for the day as well. Those who

lived in the Calgary area were shocked

to hear news reports of major flooding in

downtown Calgary. Well the skies even-

tually cleared up, and the sun came out

for a wonderful afternoon. I believe

everyone enjoyed themselves, and new

friendships were formed. Catherine was

pleasant and enthusiastic with everyone,

and I believe everyone went home deter-

mined to practice what they had

learned. Hopefully next year we can

report on our second annual Clinic.

Hope to see everyone at some trials in

the near future!

Happy Training, Tracy Brown,

Calgary Alberta

PWD’s at the 5th AAC NationalsAugust 19-22, 2005

What a sight – 6 Rings, 6 Judges, 6

Teams competing at the same time in

the beautiful Gordie Howe bowl in

Saskatoon. The weather was absolutely

perfect – Friday cool but sunny, and

warming each day to a high of 30 late

Sunday afternoon – perfect to lay in the

sun and watch the awards ceremony.

This year drew 650 teams from across

Canada and the USA. It also had one of

the largest volunteer groups to date,

250 volunteers – and I’m happy to say

that we had three great PWD owners vol-

unteering who were not running dogs,

Sandy Busse (Edmonton) – coordinated

all the results – talk about pressure,

Trudy Graham (Calgary), ring coordinator

and Janice Davidson (Saskatoon) volun-

teered as ring crew.

Thanks everyone

Ch Armada’s PurpleRain, AOM, CD, AG.I,SHDCH, WWD, GROM,ATChC, EAC, AD –The Veteran – 3rd time toNationals

Here I am at the ripe old age of 11 qual-

ifying for the 5th year in a row, Yup, I did

it, we have qualified each year since the

very first one was put on right here in

Calgary. My mom was a little worried

about me as I have not really been in

the best of shape since I was neutered

in December 2004 (another story com-

ing later) just can’t keep that appetite in

check so had some weight gain, and an

x-Ray determined I have Spondylosis

of the spine. So Mom dropped my jump

height to 10” and decided to let me

participate for as long as I was having

fun, without the strain of training (I

achieved a ATChC a few years ago).

She says one of the main reasons to go

to the Nationals was to support and

meet the many friends we have met

over the 9 years we have been compet-

ing in the sport, in particular the host

Club members are some great people

(and those other black and white dogs –

you know the BC’s that we have compet-

ed against most of our career) – they

too were going to these Nationals know-

ing full well it would be our last

National competition. (what do they

know, we could be just a little over

prime) and as luck would have it a lot of

us were in the same group.

So we went, we played and had some

great runs but most of all I had a blast,

and just for good measure I showed her

the attitude – “don’t correct me I’m

right and you are wrong” and I pro-

ceeded to give what for (bark, bark,

bark) all the way through the course

(what could I do, she took way too long

at the start line and

I was ready) and

guess what I saw,

the TV cameras out

of the corner of my

eye – this was the

only run that was

being filmed and

you know I have

this reputation, so

I just had to go for

it. Like to keep

Audrey humble.

We don’t count who

is right or wrong

but I really think I

came up the winner – she keeps trying

to change our ways just because I am

older – keep telling her just let me run!!

All in all, I had a fabulous weekend –

few knocked bars, but overall, it was

great.

At the end of each day when we went

back to the campsite, boy did I let the

young ones know – “this was my week-

end, hah – you had to stay here”.

How did we do – Well we took a 5th

place in Jumpers round on Saturday – I

had a clean run and a blazing time (not

as fast as my younger days but still

right up there!

A final note – I still like to believe that

Purple is one of the best PR dogs for

the sport of Agility – he always has a big

smile and attitude of “this is the best

fun – you should try it”. I always have

people come to me after our run and say

“he sure is having fun, you are so much

fun to watch” – that was our goal and I

think we accomplished it.

BIGGEST CATASTROPHE: No longer welcome at dinnerparties since I raced into our host's home and devoured a half

pound of butter and a loaf of fresh baked bread off the count-

to know it was bad manners to hog the hors d'oeuvres?

PUPOGRAPHY


Cover Pup"Lily" is the offspring of Lorraine Wilson's "Hogan"

and Cathie Sockett's "Glory". Lily is only 7 months

old when this was taken a week ago. Lily was intro-

duced to water at West Lake which is home to the

famous Sandbanks Provincial Park. Lily learned her

"flying" skills by watching my 16 year old son jump

in first. After a bit of coaxing and some very funny

teetering on the edge, Lily took the plunge. It wasn't

long and she would fly into the air to reach that stick

(or my son!) She absolutely loved this game and

would continue to do this until we hid the stick!!

Lily is our first PWD. We are certainly thrilled to own

this amazing breed. Thanks to Cathie Sockett for

being such a great breeder and Lorraine for being

such a great source of information when we were first

learning about this breed.

Lily lives with Carolyn Van Dijk in Guelph Ontario
