John Damon Who's Who in the Austalian Dog World 1993-1994
0646137786 / 9780646137780 Who's Who in the Australian Dog World; Rye, Vic, Australia 1994 Paperback Used: Good Paperback
This paperback book was published in 1993 by Who's Who in the Australian Dog World with 414 pages plus a 2 page ad. The text is unmarked on lightly toned pages. The binding is tight. The covers show a moderate amount of edge wear. Mr. Francis Fretwell's signature nameplate is attached inside the front cover. INTRODUCTIONWe are extremely proud to present Who's Who in the Australian Dog World. Never before in Australia has one book contained such vital and frequently required information as this inaugural edition, an indispensible publication for all dog enthusiasts which will be updated annually.In addition to providing details of individual people and businesses involved in the world of dogs in Australia, this book also provides an exclusive avenue for breeders, exhibitors and triallers to record permanently, at no cost, outstanding achievements by their dogs in all facets of canine activity, agility, obedience, field and non slip retrieving trials and the conformation showring.Two aspects of the canine world are not catered for in our Who's Who. The Greyhound racing industry is covered more than adequately by many publications throughout the nation and is, indeed, a book unto itself. We would be pleased to include details of successful racing Greyhounds in our Prominent Dogs section in the next edition should these be forwarded to us; however, we cannot provide the coverage that this area of the canine world deserves and so leave this topic to those more involved.The second aspect not covered are the Breed Standards. These are undergoing constant revision and at this time it is quite uncertain which direction many will take within the next twelve months. Readers should approach the canine controlling authority within their State for details of the Breed Standards required.Every attempt has been made to be impartial in the collection and presentation of all information in this volume. We made direct approaches to over 10,000 individual people and businesses involved in the canine world and any omissions are most certainly inadvertent. Of these, just eight people requested their entry be deleted and their requests were complied with.A collection of data such as this is constantly being made redundant by both the changing of interests and the passing of time; an example of this is the Judges section. Many of these people are currently participating in one of the many and varied training schemes operating throughout Australia and consequently are gaining approval to judge more breeds as each month passes. This book is as accurate as it could possibly be at the time of publication, but in circumstances where absolute accuracy is essential questions should be directed to the individual persons or businesses listed.By including as many active members of the Australian dog world as we were able to confirm, we have endeavoured to ensure that our Who's Who in the Australian Dog World is the foremost guide to the men, women, businesses and dogs who help shape our nation's canine world.

McCandlish, W. L Scarece Popular Dog Show Maxims Judges Judged & Judging WL McCandlish Hardcover
Popular Dogs Pub. Co 1920-01-01 First Edition Hardcover Used: Good Hardcover Standard Hardcover
This hardcover book was published ca. 1920 (though no actual date is given) by the Popular Dogs Publishing Company with 88 pages including black and white photographic illustrations. The text is unmarked. The binding is loose as the front hinge is cracked and the sewn binding is loosening at each signature (group of pages). The pages are toned. The covers are heavily rubbed and worn along the edges. The spine panel has a tear along the front gutter and is scuffed with chipping along the top and bottom edges. No dust jacket. The signature book plate of Mr. Francis Fretwell is attached to the front paste down. Excerpt from Chapter One:.....DOG show is, of course, a show of dogs, and the name does not in itself imply any idea of competition. Provided the dogs shown were sufficiently interesting, a judge could be dispensed with, and it might be by no means an unattractive exhibition. A few hours spent in another owner's kennel are often greater pleasure than many dog; shows. But the examination of a kennel is a dog show—a private dog show, if you will, but still a dog show. Just as public dog shows become arenas of competition and demand judges, a private view of a kennel develops, more often than not, into a critical comparison of the inmates. The pleasure of looking at a beautiful animal is great, but the pleasure of looking at two beautiful animals is greater, and the pleasure of comparing them is greatest......NECESSITY FOR MERCY TO THE JUDGE......Dog shows, in truth, would have no continuance and no life in them were it not for judges. So let the exhibitor remember his indebtedness to them, and if, when troubled by adversity, his feelings outgrow his discipline, let him take them, with a friend, to the nearest bar and have his outburst there. If he is careful in the selection of his company, and takes with him one in similar plight, both will probably enjoy themselves. Let him—and his friend—remember in time that a bar is a place for sympathetic intercourse, and not for drowning sorrow. By the time they return to the show they may still regard the judge as more of a fool than they had previously imagined him, but less of the knave than they had thought when they first recovered from their astonishment at the awards. The danger is that they meet on their return another of the disappointed who had omitted to place the drop of oil on the magneto every 1,000 miles, as recommended in the Book of Instructions......JUDGING A PROFESSION......Judging is the heart of dog showing, and pumps the blood which makes the life of the whole system of breeding, exhibiting, and selling. Whether, therefore, a man's interest in dogs is for pleasure or for profit, when he takes on the duties of a judge he undertakes professional work, and he must have trained himself for the profession, and he must have learnt the technique of the craft...... Opinions upon this technique vary, but method of some description there must be, and no man should ever enter a ring as judge without previously considering the method he intends to adopt. To see a man standing irresolute in the centre of a ring while his eyes wander vaguely from one place to another drives confidence from exhibitors, and is a blatant invitation to defamatory criticism when he is forced in the end to put definite marks against definite numbers in his judging book......

The staff of authorities that made this book possible are an assurance that the methods and practices outlined are proper and accepted procedure. They can be followed by readers with assurance and satisfaction in the resulting well being and appearance of their dogs......JOE STETSON Dog Editor of Field and Stream Magazine
