January 1, 2008-&lt;/B&gt;BreedersUSA is proud to announce that Lucene Kennels as BreedersUSA’s January 2008 Breeders of the Month. The mother, daughter team of Jeanine Sudinski  and Mechelle Sudinski-Stall  is recognized for their outstanding leadership, devotion, and support to the Dachshund and  Rottweiler community World  Wide.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeanine and have been World-Class Breeder, Conformation Handlers and Trainers for many different breeds for nearly 55 years. They have been blessed to have loved, owned, shown, trained and produced some of "THE LEGENDS OF THEIR BREEDS." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeanine Sudinski attended her first dog show at the Chicago Sportsman's Pier at the tender age of 18. Jeanine watched a man and his handler discuss what he wanted done with the dogs with great interest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the excitement of the show was over Jeanine introduced herself and told the team how beautiful their dogs were.  This is where Jeanine knew she would someday be a Great Showman of the dachshund breed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeanine’s interest in Dachshunds resurfaced again in 1952 when working with a dog trainer and dachshund team on a TV commercial.  Jeanine became a serious student of the breed, learning from legendary dachshund breeders; Grace Greenburg, Ed Hirshman, and Fred and Rose Heying.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After considerable research Jeanine bought her first Standard Smooth Dachshund.  Jeanine applied the lessons of her mentors, and developed many champions and Best in Show winners that borne her "Lucene" kennel name.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeanine's leadership in the Dachshund community continued and she received her AKC judge’s license 1972.  Jeanine's her first judging assignment was in the Northern California Dachshund Club specialty in 1973 where she judged 167 Dachshunds. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many years of dedicated service to the Dachshunds community have passed and in 1996 Jeanine was honored to be the AKC Judge assigned to  oversee the 4th Annual Dachshund Specialty in Melbourne, Australia; where she judged 538 of the best dachshunds in the world. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jeanine's love for dogs was inherited by her daughter, Mechelle Sudinski-Stall. Mechelle started showing the Lucene Dachshunds in 1980, in her first show she placing in the Hound Group with Ch. Lucene’s Daily Double, and continued winning through the next 27 years. Jeanine and Mechelle have finished many champions of record as well as having the number one brood bitch in 2004.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Working together as a team, they have recorded unparallel wins in the Dachshund community.  With all the Dachshund history who would think that Mechelle would have time for another breed. However Mechelle’s first love was a puppy Rottweiler at the age of 11. Mechelle’s Rottweiler became an odd addition to the dachshund family.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mechelle’s Rottweiler “Lucene’s Rhoda of Rajamul, UD went on to complete her Utility Obedience Title in 1979. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I would like to say that I feel very fortunate to have been around and seen the great dogs... I have seen, visited and been taught by many wonderful Dachshund breeders and owners of the historic Dachshund Kennels. In the last 55 plus years I have worked with the Dachshund community; I truly believe it was my privilege to be around so much excellence”. Jeanine Sudinski, Lucene Kennels &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We are honored to be BreedersUSA’s January 2008 Breeder of the Month and we look forward meeting all of you in 2008.” Mechelle Sudinski-Stall, Lucene Kennels. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For additional information on Lucene Kennels. please contact Mechelle at lucene1948@cox.net Website: http://members.cox.net/lucene1948&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31161026-6210946178512795201?l=breedersusa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://breedersusa.blogspot.com/feeds/6210946178512795201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31161026&amp;postID=6210946178512795201' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31161026/posts/default/6210946178512795201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31161026/posts/default/6210946178512795201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://breedersusa.blogspot.com/2007/12/january-2008-breeder-of-month.html' title='January 2008 Breeder of the Month'/><author><name>Daniel Hect</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5817/3358/1600/bio-daniel2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31161026.post-7365639547034899039</id><published>2007-12-13T22:31:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2007-12-13T23:14:37.707-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Funny stuff'/><title type='text'>Dachshund</title><content type='html'>Looking for a Puppy?

Small dogs usually make the best travel companions by car while some larger dogs don't look forward to this experience. Of course, there are always exceptions depending on each dog's personality, size of vehicle and the length of the trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,51,0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Car seats and containment seats are now available and can be secured with your current seat belts. Some form of restraint is now being considered mandatory by many states and municipalities around the country. You will want to keep informed on these issues, particularly when traveling through different states.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,51,0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Your dog should always wear a collar with an I.D. tag, and rabies vaccination tag, in case the unthinkable happens and you are separated from your dog. Some dog owners are utilizing the newest method of identification which is the microchip. Most veternarians have information on this, and this is certainly a choice for the pet owner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,51,0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Be mindful to give the same consideration of your dog's needs as you would for yourself when preparing for any trip.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,51,0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A sturdy leash should be at the top of your list &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Medicines needed &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Adequate food supply and treats &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A favorite sleeping basket or blanket &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;Portable water bowl &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;A toy or chew toy &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,51,0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Certainly other modes of travel are being used more and more when traveling with pets. The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) and International Air Transport Association (IATA) restrictions govern air travel for pets. Become familiar and comply with these guidelines to provide your dog with a pleasant travel experience.

She has discussed how any form of BSL is not only impractical, but it does not prevent or reduce canine aggression or irresponsible individuals from obtaining dogs that can become aggressive.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jan has spent over 40 years owning, training and working around various exotic and domestic members of the animal kingdom. Her hands on experiences are from training for the motion picture industry, working as a veterinary assistant, developing and holding classes entitled Basic Canine Home Companionship and maintaining zoological collections. She has written various articles during her lifetime on animal behavior to help the average pet owner. She has gone into private homes to observe and assist with unruly pets back before the term behavior modification became popular. She was taught to train, using what is now called positive reinforcement, by a respected dog trainer in the field. She has been honored and privileged to know some of the finest animal trainers in history. She became an ardent follower of the well known behaviorist, Conrad Lorenz. Jan has been an AKC Legislative Liaison since its inception as a private entity due to a newsletter which she published about her breed of choice, the Rottweiler.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);"&gt;Jan's love of the animal kingdom compelled her to spend her life in and around animals of every description. She ended her professonal career protecting the very species she came to know and love by moving into the field of law enforcing federal statutes and regulations of the animal kingdom. The various federal agencies Jan has worked for include USDA, APHIS, VS; USF&amp;WS, LE Div; and NOAA NMFS LE Div. Jan's dedication to the preservation of the right and privilege of owning the breed of dog of your choice has been surpassed by few. It has always been that she believes every citizen should be allowed to own the breed of their choice BUT not that every citizen should be allowed to own a dog.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 51, 0);font-family:Verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;The purpose for including this information in my blog will be made clear in my next article.

Therefore, we'd like to provide a little information about the AKC.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;color:#003333;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;AKC - American Kennel Club&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#003333;"&gt;AKC stands for the &lt;strong&gt;American Kennel Club&lt;/strong&gt;. It is the oldest registry in the United States for purebred dogs. There are many registration options available for dogs, but the &lt;strong&gt;American Kennel Club&lt;/strong&gt; is well-known as the best and most reputable of all. The top ten breeds of registered dogs include Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Beagles, Poodles, Pomeranians, Cocker Spaniels, Dachshunds, and Yorkshire Terriers. Over 150 breeds are eligible for registration. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;color:#003333;"&gt;&lt;p&gt;Registration is not a guarantee or indication of quality because parent dogs and their puppies are not thoroughly inspected to receive registration. However, if adult dogs or puppies do not have the appearance of their registered breed, their registration will be investigated and may be revoked. Registration is simply a record of dogs that are of pure breed. Dog buyers will have to determine on their own whether or not puppies are likely to be in good health. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;u&gt;About the AKC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;The &lt;strong&gt;American Kennel Club&lt;/strong&gt; was founded in 1884. It is the principal U.S. registry of purebred dogs and the leading regulatory agency for dog shows in the United States. The AKC records statistics about particular dogs, such as the dog's name, sex, color, breed, parentage, date of birth, breeder, and owner. It also records any titles that dogs have won in shows, performance trials, or obedience trials sanctioned by the &lt;strong&gt;American Kennel Club&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Standards are set for each breed registered in the &lt;strong&gt;American Kennel Club&lt;/strong&gt;. Standards include a description of the "ideal" appearance of each dog breed. The &lt;strong&gt;American Kennel Club&lt;/strong&gt; published the Complete Dog Book so that these standards can be recognized by breeders, buyers, dog show judges, and potential dog owners. All buyers who purchase registered dogs should receive a certificate of registration from sellers.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For any questions, ideas, or compliments please feel free to &lt;a href="http://www.breedersusa.com/contact.asp"&gt;email&lt;/a&gt; us and please visit our &lt;a href="http://breedersusa.proboards78.com"&gt;forum&lt;/a&gt; to register and post your comments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&amp;aq=t&amp;amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-11,GGLJ:en&amp;amp;amp;amp;q=daniel+hect"&gt;Daniel Hect&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CEO &amp;amp; Founder&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.BreedersUSA.com"&gt;BreedersUSA.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31161026-115295693662034452?l=breedersusa.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://breedersusa.blogspot.com/feeds/115295693662034452/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=31161026&amp;postID=115295693662034452' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31161026/posts/default/115295693662034452'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/31161026/posts/default/115295693662034452'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://breedersusa.blogspot.com/2006/07/akc-leading-registry-for-purebred-dogs.html' title='AKC - Leading Registry for Purebred Dogs'/><author><name>Daniel Hect</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5817/3358/1600/bio-daniel2.jpg'/></author><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry></feed>
