                    "Benny"
Already participating in Conformation and Rally Obedience I was encouraged
by the Tasmanian Tracking fraternity to enter Tracking Trials. "Benny" absolutely
loves it and to the best of my knowledge is the first British Bulldog in the world
to be a Tracking Champion. This year he also commenced his Track and Search
trials journey.

TCA PRESIDENT’S REPORT
It is said, that the older you get, the quicker time passes. I can certainly attest to that. Here we are
and it’s December already. Well what a year it has been. The Kennel Area is no longer and January
will see the commencement of regular shows at Pontville.
Negotiations are still taking place with Brighton Council with regard to placing our buildings on the
site. This has been delayed by the proposal to build a high school at Brighton. Until that site is
selected we can’t progress as part of the Pontville Oval is one of the sites under consideration.
I recently had the pleasure of attending the dinner which was part of the National Retrieving Trials
Week. It was great to see so many enthusiasts including representatives from every state as well as
New Zealand. The event itself was a great success and everyone who had a hand in its organisation
should give themselves a pat on the back.
Combined Breeds recently ran our second CACIB show which also went off very well. We have
received many comments that the Australian judges lost nothing in comparison to their
international counterparts. We had one Tasmanian dog complete the requirements for
International Champion. The paperwork after the show is fairly voluminous and it takes about eight
months to complete, so don’t expect your certificate soon.
The Royals are over and despite some misgivings about the area we were allocated in Hobart, it
actually worked very well. A number of interstate visitors said they actually preferred this area.
Despite a windy Friday when the Show was closed for a couple of hours, it was most enjoyable.
The National Junior Handlers Final was also held at the Royal. Again this was a great success with
interstate entrants being very complimentary.
Both the Royal Canine Section Committee and the Junior Handlers Committee deserve
congratulations especially as all the work is voluntary.
The review of the Constitution is progressing well and it is hoped to have the discussion paper out
to members in the first quarter of 2020.
I would also like to pay tribute to Maureen Jones who has decided not to recontest her seat on the
Council. She will be sadly missed for her wise counsel and great knowledge. As there were only
four nominations for the four vacancies, there will be no election. Welcome, Tull Luttrell as the
new councillor.
The ANKC AGM of members and directors was held in mid October. A summary of the outcome
is in this gazette.
We are in the festive season, so on behalf of all Councillors and the Management and staff, can I
wish you all the compliments of the season and hope that 2020 is a great year for everyone.
                                                                                 David Sales, President

                                       LABRADOR RETRIEVER
                                         SURVEY RESULTS
A survey was conducted by ANKC Ltd earlier this year to ascertain the feedback from all owners of
registered Labrador Retrievers in relation to the Minimum Breeding Age for Labrador bitches being
18 months at the time of mating (unless a veterinary certificate is produced stating that for health
reasons the bitch should be mated before 18 months). The response received indicated support.
As this was an amendment to current regulations, the result of the survey was referred to the ANKC
Board of Directors for consideration at their October 2019 Special Board meeting where it was
endorsed.
As a consequence the following new clause will be added to Regulations Part 6 – The Register &
Registration which will be effective from 1 January, 2020:
8.12.2 The Minimum Breeding Age for Labrador Retriever bitches must be 18 months at the time of
       mating (unless a veterinary certificate is produced stating that for health reasons the bitch
       should be mated before 18 months). Breeders of litters whelped on or after 1st June, 2020,
       will be required to comply with the requirements as a prerequisite to registration of any litter
       on the ANKC Ltd Main Register. Litters which do not meet the above requirements will only
       be able to be placed on the Limited Register and will be flagged not to be upgraded.
