SBCPS, A Bit of History

 By Joan Zielinski, Club Statistician

 The SBCPS has kept a Breeder of the Year Award since 1972 and just to look it over is a piece of history in itself.  I thought I’d recap so that you can enjoy this look back in time.

 The Breeder of the Year is determined by the success in the show ring of the dogs produced by that person and their kennel.  The recipient of the year for 2004 is Gary and Carolyn New of New Sage Kennels in Selah, Washington.  In compiling the scores for eligible dogs all of the all-breed shows in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska are counted as well as all specialty shows in Washington, Oregon, Alaska, California, Arizona and Utah.  That breeder whose scores are tabulated must breed the dogs but that breeder need not own the dogs.  The breeder must be a member of the SBCPS.  The tallies were very close this year and one bitch who did very well at the specialties in California was a determining factor in the success of this kennel in the achievement of this award. 

 Running close behind Carolyn were Revilo Kennels in Oregon, Stoan’s Saints in Washington, and Vicdory Kennels in Washington.  Also, Tikki Smith of British Columbia with her Lasquite Saints made quite an accomplishment.  She only comes to our shows occasionally but continues to make a fine showing each time she travels our way.  Most of the breeders in the Northwest work in close harmony with one another to produce some of the best Saints in the country, at least according to the judges who come this way.
