Toy Fox Terrier National Specialty 2001
A First-Ever AKC "A" Match For Toy Fox Terriers!
photos and notes by Barbara Andrews
It
was an AKC Sanctioned "A" Match, held October 20, 2001 in Pleasanton Calif. in
conjunction with over 2,000 other Specialty show entries at the beautiful
Alameda County Fairgrounds, site of the famous Del Valle Dog Club shows.
Breed Judge was none other than
Mr. Richard Beauchamp, an internationally
popular judge and a great supporter of rare breeds. Mr. Beauchamp serves as V.P.
for the ATFTC and has been instrumental in guiding the club towards expected
recognition in May of 2002. (Link to interview at end of article.)
Match Secretary was Karen Brancheau of New Jersey and she did a terrific
job. She was assisted by many Parent Club members on hand despite the WTC
tragedy of 9/11. Some of the Board that braved air travel were President Mike
Massey, Treasurer Susan McCoy, Secretary Margi Hill, Director
Laura Perkinson, and yours truly.
Laura Perkinson judged Sweeps with 13 entries making it to the
show. Results:
6-9 puppy dogs, Theo Flying Ace Of Wildwood, owned by Kandra Garwood &

Mischief Maker who was pushed hard by the 9-12 mos. puppy MM's Sweet Sweet
Vinnie who received the BOS to Best In Sweeps Award.
There were over 30 entries in the Regular Classes, especially surprising when
one considers that flying was something a lot of dog people had suddenly given
up after the World Trade Center bombing.

Best Opposite to BB to Olen Nichols charming little Bred By Exhibitor winner,
Foxfire Flying Colors.
Due to conflicts with the scheduling of "regular" AKC breed judging, it was a
long tiring day for all except the dogs! Champions all, the little Toy Fox
Terriers showed their hearts out.
It was a well-supported, perfectly presented first Toy Fox Terrier National AKC
show in a beautiful venue. The judging was considerate and concise with quick,
to-the-point critiques for the judges sitting ringside. The exhibitors were
friendly and supportive of each other, free with genuine applause and good
will..
It was an auspicious beginning for an old-new breed already generating
tremendous interest and admiration from the AKC crowd. Make way in the Toy Group
because America has come up with a sure 'nuff winner!
My personal observation is that this breed is in good hands, well started, and
will be a popular addition to the AKC Toy Group.
