AKC Rep Report (Debbie Thurston):
THE AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB INTRODUCES NEW FARM DOG CERTIFIED TEST
The test provides for a series of twelve exercises that represent situations a dog may encounter in a farm environment. The basic test requirements are designed to demonstrate a dog’s trainability, self-control, confidence and trust when working in partnership with their owner. The test is a non-competitive pass/fail evaluation designed to assess the overall conduct of a dog. The dog must demonstrate self-control when exposed to livestock and other unique sights, sounds and scents. The dog should exhibit confidence and a willingness to comply with instructions when confronted with a variety of situations within farm type surroundings.
The FDC test is open to all dogs at least 9 months of age that are individually registered with the AKC, recorded in the FSS program, dogs with PAL numbers, or dogs enrolled in the AKC Canine Partners Program.
All Clubs currently licensed for AKC Herding will be allowed to hold Farm Dog Certified tests. The FDC test can be held as a class at a Herding event or may be held as a stand-alone test. Clubs not licensed for herding may be approved by the Performance Events Department to hold FDC tests in unique situations such as county fairs and community dog events. All individuals approved to judge AKC Herding Tests/Trials are eligible to judge a FDC test.
“The FDC test provides an opportunity for dogs to apply their basic training in a unique environment. One can think of it as a Canine Good Citizen test on a farm,” said Doug Ljungren, V.P. for Sports & Events. “In addition to promoting responsible dog ownership, the basic manners needed for the FDC test will prepare them for many other AKC activities.”
Report of the Committees:

Public Education (Mary Ham)
I have been reading the book, “If I Ran the Dog Show”, a Cat in the Hat Library Learning book, to kids at Safety Town in New Albany. Our dog Bacon went with me one of the days and I was answering questions about how much he weighs, how much he eats, etc. I explained a few safety things about how to approach a dog that you don’t know, and what to do if one approaches you.
We also watched the AKC video, “The Dog Listener”.
I have two more sessions to do at Safety Town.
New/Unfinished Business:
The Dax Story- Update!!!! The puppy that our club approved money for, to help with service dog training, is now with the family and their son, who has autism. Redbarn Mastiffs is proud that our puppy was chosen from three puppies, to begin the extensive training to be a service dog for Dax. Training has begun, and the puppy, a female named Bella, has been fitted for harnesses, is being socialized in her hometown with the family. Bella will be coming back to Ohio in mid-July to begin her basic yet rigorous, obedience training. We were able to get the basic obedience donated. Bella will return home to Indiana after basic training, and will begin her training with an organization that trains dogs for The Wounded Warrior Project. That is when the Club’s generous donation of $500 that was approved will help Bella take the next step toward helping this young man that has autism. I have been in constant contact with the family and will keep you all updated you on this amazing journey. Sarah and Dan Hull and their son Dax, told me to thank you from the bottom of their hearts for the donation to help with training. If anyone has any questions, I would be happy to answer them!
Motion: Webb made motion to pay up to $1,000 to help the National Neapolitan Club pay to bring in judge for October specialty. Niko seconded. Voted to approve.
Motion: Niko presented “Welcome towels” as a gift for everyone entered in Friday’s Specialty in October. They will cost the club $3 each. Niko made motion that we do this. Chad seconded. Voted to approve.

A lot of time was put into researching having Weight Pulling and Lure Coursing at the Specialty. The Board approved the expense. The Roberts Center has a contract that is NOT in our favor and it is non-negotiable. It is not a good contract for MCONO to commit to. It gives the Roberts Center the right to bill us for things out of our control. There was a general agreement of those present that we should not go forward with the Lure Coursing and Weight Pulling. No vote was taken.

1) For the agenda from Mary Ham, I do have a suggestion of a supported entry at the Marion show(July 30-8/1) . Mastiffs have had the highest entry breed several years in a row, then tied last year with Golden retrievers, etc. In addition, I am Vice Pres. of the Dan Emmett Kennel Club, David Henson is Show Chair, and I am co-show chair, Brian is Treasurer, so an easy team to work with.....and MCONO would get small rebates for each mastiff entered.
We could either plan this for this year if we hustle, or next year if we are booked for this year. Could we talk about this? The numbers are there for it to be successful. Mary Ham
2) For the agenda from Peggy Coffman, What can Madison show do to bring the MCONO Mastiff Supported entry up there…..maybe plan for next year?
Open Discussion: judges for our October Specialties will be from outside the U.S.
