PROGRAM: LET’S TALK ABOUT BARN HUNT!!
Barn hunt is a fun and exciting relatively new dog sport, where dogs of all kinds are welcome. Itis a timed event to test your dog's vermin searching (hunting) and finding (indicating) ability in abarn-like setting. (Around bales of hay, though not necessarily in a barn). Climbing and tunnelingskills are also tested, and your ability to work as a team. It!s a treasure hunt for dogs! And sinceStandard Schnauzers were originally developed just for this purpose, it is a natural for them. Thisis a great way to have a lot of fun with your SS! Join your fellow PVSSC members at our nextmeeting for an Introduction to Barn Hunt discussion, video and LIVE demonstration led byCANDACE CRAIG. (There will be training tips and a refresher for those who are already takingpart in BH).

President’s Message
Dear PVSSC Members:
It was so wonderful to look out the window on Monday morning and see thegrass! I'm sure your dogs were as delighted as mine were. They enjoyed thesnow, but having your paws firmly on the solid ground, made my gang prettyhappy. I was happier then all three of mine put together!! Please share yourSnowzilla pictures with all of us. Send the photos to Gail Mackiernan forinclusion in the next Wiretap or to Betsy Davison for our website. I am sureyou all have some wonderful fun photos!
I want to again thank Elaine and Nicole Miller for hosting our Januarymeeting. Albeit a small meeting, several good discussions took place. Onewas a suggestion to have a workshop with owner, dogs and a mentor to helpteach some grooming tips. Several years ago we had some of our membersdo demonstrations on dog grooming. But we have a lot of new pups outthere with new owners and I think a hand!s-on workshop could be both funand educational. More to come on this great suggestion, and thanks to SallyMarsh for bringing it up.
Membership dues should be sent to Karen Ioffredo before February 29 (youget an extra day this year!). Look for the dues form with this Wiretap. Singlemembership is $30, family $45 and junior membership is $1 per junior inaddition to the family membership or single membership. Breeders! dues andforms are due February 14th.
We already have a lot of events on our 2016 calendar. May is our annualawards dinner, June our sanctioned Barn hunt trial along with our annualpicnic. Our match will be in August, our specialty in October, and our lure-coursing Fun Day in November. That leaves us some room to do other thingsthat will be of interest to the entire membership. Let your officers and Boardmembers know of any suggestions you might have. After all, our club is allabout our members and our wonderful Standard Schnauzers. We are tryingto offer a wide variety of fun activities for ALL our members, so let!s see moreof you out there with your dogs! After all, SS Do It ALL!
We have established an awards committee to look into our annual awards.Including all new performance events, as well as some newly sanctionedAKC titles. We want to be fair to all aspects of performance, obedience andconformation. Some of the committee members will be reaching out to ourmembers that have the most expertise in the various venues. Please helpthem so we can be fair to all of our membership. The committee is GailMacKiernan, Rose Miller, and Michelle Bell.
Our next meeting will be at the home of Gail Mackiernan and Barry Cooper.The program will be all about Barn Hunt. We hope to have some videos,demonstrations and information about this popular new sport that theStandard Schnauzer was born to perform. Since we will be holding our ownBarn Hunt this year, come and bring your questions. I hope to see everyonethere!

wooden plaques with a PVSSC medallion will be awarded for all AKC titles for Championships,
Grand Champions, Obedience, Rally, Agility, Lure Coursing and Herding titles gained in 2015.
WHERE ARE ALL THE FORMS? In past years we have included copies of all the forms –
which took up half the Wiretap. Since a relatively small percentage of the members actually use
these, it seems unnecessary to send to everyone. All the forms can be downloaded from the
club web site at: www.pvssc.org (click on ”Annual Awards” button on home page), or
obtained in electronic or (if you do not have Internet access) in hard copy from PamelaMinnich,
Please remember, use ONE form per EACH DOG please!
The full AWARDS RULES are lengthy and somewhat complex and too much to include in the
Wiretap. (if we want anything else in it!) They can be accessed on the PVSSC web site
(www.pvssc.org) and by email or hard copy from Pamela Minnich, 717-916-3874
ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for any award, according to the PVSSC standing rules, the member
must have attended two PVSSC events (meeting, match, specialty, dinner etc.) in 2015. YOUMUST ALSO BE IN GOOD STANDING (i.e., DUES PAID!) For new members, you become
eligible as soon as your application is received and noted by the membership chair. If you are
unsure of your date, contact Karen Ioffredo at 703-356-9763.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, CONTACT PAM AT [email protected]
The Club has FEES for calculating points or looking up show/champion records:
First dog—we will do it for free Second and each additional dog, $35/dog.
We are sorry to have to charge, but in recent years the Awards Chair has ended up spending
hours essentially completing applications for other members. Remember you can get show
records from AKC and from MBF and Rau dog show web sites. At least provide the name and
date of show. For new title plaque applications, you simply need to submit a photocopy ofthe AKC certificate or a print out the title confirmation from the AKC web site (need a MYAKC account, which is free – visit www.akc.org to register).
APPLICATION DEADLINE IS MARCH 15, 2015FORMS TO BE SENT TO PAMELA MINNICH

Annual Awards Dinner May 7th.

acceptable titles. If the non-AKC title you received is not on the list, please email Pam and the
board will consider it. If you have any questions, please contact PAMEA MINNICH. Note:AKC does not yet acknowledge Barn Hunt, so if your dog has achieved a Barn Hunt titleplease use the Non-AKC award application.
