Thank you Evan, and thanks to everyone who called, e-mailed or stopped me at the National to comment on the Red Book. While I took all the credit ( I'm learning from you Evan <GRIN>) , the truth is that this book would not come together if it were not for my friends and their help. My deep appreciation goes to both Doris Estabrook (ROM sires chair) and Cappy Pottle & Gloria Birch (ROM dams co-chairs) for their help with the ROM section. As in years past, this yearâ??s Red Book includes information regarding the Award of Excellence, the Juniors program, the Annual Training Achievement Award, the Performance Award of Merit, Obedience statistics, the Thirteen Club and the Temperament Committee - our thanks to these chairs.. OFA statistics are included as well as the number of litters and puppies produced. This is valuable information for Breeders.â?? please use it - thanks owners and AKC! Thank you Kim McNamara who did the entire ROM section from start to finish. Every year she doesnâ??t even have to be reminded, she just does it and finishes it on time! Thank you to Laura Thomas & Lori Nickerson for all their work on the performance sections. Thank you Tedi Ginsburg, for researching and selecting the health & genetic articles and obtaining the permission for reprints. Weâ??ve tried to present more in depth articles that would be valuable to the hard core as well as novice breeders & owners. Thank you Tari Kridler â?? your cooperation is so appreciated. Iâ??m sure everyone will enjoy your interview. Thank you to Marty Lou Plinski for sending me the GSDCA-WDA articles. I want to say thank you to all other committee chairs too numerous to mention but appreciated just the same.
