Colville opens
State 1A softball against Hoquiam
Colville High (20-3), after dominating Lakeside all season long, fell to their Northeast A League nemesis 7-5 last Saturday afternoon in the District 6-7 regional title game at Vaagen Park in Colville.
The Indians and Eagles both advance to the State 1A Tournament Friday and Saturday at the Columbia Playfields in Richland. Okanogan and Cascade also advanced to State from the typically weak Caribou-Trail League.
Colville will open the double elimination tournament on Friday at noon against Hoquiam.
Indians dominate District 7 1A at WSU
Colville High continued its successful run through the Northeast A League again last weekend at Washington State University, annexing singles and doubles championships at the District 7 1A Tournament.
The two-time NEA champion and District champion Indians advance District 7 1A singles champion Tessa Moore, two-time District doubles championsŌĆÖ Liselotte Doggen and Erin Little, and the doubles team of senior Carly Ekins and junior Alyssa Kienbaum (fourth seeded to regionals).
Cougars drop games to Colville, Lakeside
The Chewelah High CougarsŌĆÖ baseball season came to an end last weekend with losses to Colville and Lakeside in the Northeast A League/Caribou Trail League District playoffs in Wenatchee.
The Cougars had won four in a row before SaturdayŌĆÖs games, including wins over Colville and Lakeside to annex the District 7 championship. But the Cougars couldnŌĆÖt find the formula to advance to the regional playoffs on May 19.
Colville will oppose LaSalle on Saturday
The Colville High baseball team (13-9) won two of three games last week to qualify for the 1A regional tournament Saturday at Larson Field in Moses Lake.
The Indians, who edged Cascade 7-6 last Tuesday in Moses Lake to keep their season alive and advance to the Bi-District Tournament in Wenatchee last Saturday against the Caribou-Trail League, will oppose LaSalle on Saturday in a loser-out game at Moses Lake (1 p.m.).
Scramble golf tourney benefit
The first annual Colville Baseball Golf Tournament will be held at Dominion Meadows Golf Course on Saturday, June 16.
The tournament will benefit the Colville Baseball Fund, which provides assistance and equipment to area baseball players.
Teams will consist of four or five players (you make up the team) playing a Scramble format.
Entry fees are $40 per player if paid by June 9 ($45 after that date).
Submit completed registration and fees (payable to Colville Baseball) by June 9 to the Dominion Meadows pro shop, or to Alicia Morrison.
Malia Luu has big day at Riverside
Colville High advanced 25 athletes to Friday and SaturdayŌĆÖs Northeast A/Caribou-Trail League Bi-District meet at Cashmere High School.
CHS, who won the regular season boyŌĆÖs dual championship in the NEA (the girls were third), qualified 11 boys to Cashmere. Unbelievably, 14 of the 18 member Tribe girlŌĆÖs team qualified for Bi-District.
The top four athletes from the lane events and the top six from the field events/distance races moved on to Bi-District.
Kettle Falls comes into District on a roll
In Northeast 2B softball action last week, Kettle Falls (11-7) picked up four key wins to end the regular season.
KFHS knocked off Davenport 5-1, 10-1 back on May 1 before handling Springdale 14-4, 15-1 on Monday. Both doubleheaders were played at Kettle Falls.
KFHS touched Springdale pitching for 23 hits in the Monday doubleheader.
Krislin McInelly picked up the wins for Kettle Falls.
Mustangs will
play host Friday
Northport High (19-1) will play host to the first round of the District 7 1B baseball tournament Friday afternoon at 1 p.m.
In the opener at 1 p.m., Almira/Coulee-Hartline will oppose Panorama North no. 2 Curlew (8-8) in a loser-out match-up.
The Northeast 1B champion Mustangs will play the winner immediately following game one. At stake is a berth in the District 7 1B championship game next Monday at University High School (Spokane).
Indians faced Cascade in loser-out on Tuesday
After losing to eventual District 7 1A champion Chewelah at home last Tuesday, 6-1, Colville High (10-7) rebounded on Saturday to post a 7-4 win over Newport and advance to TuesdayŌĆÖs Bi-District loser-out game at Moses Lake against Cascade (Leavenworth). The game was scheduled for 3:30 p.m.
A Colville win on Tuesday over the Kodiaks (14-6) would propel the Indians into the double elimination Bi-District Tournament proper at Wenatchee High School on Saturday.
Kettle Falls moves up in standings
Kettle Falls High, back to full strength for the first time since March, swept Reardan 10-4, 10-0 in a Northeast 2B fast-pitch softball doubleheader last Tuesday.
Krislin McInelly, back in the circle for the Lady Bulldogs, was solid if not impressive against a slumping Reardan team that recently lost their top pitcher to a broken hand.
The Northeast 2B season heads into its final week. The Lady Bulldogs trail Northwest Christian and Colfax in the standings.

Don't let a road trip or summer activities derail your smart food choices. Believe it or not, you CAN eat healthy even when bouncing around from place to place! Here's some great tips from health and nutrition expert Joy Bauer.
- Starbucks (one of my personal weaknesses…)
If you're like me and like to indulge in a creamy sweet treat, just stick with a latte or cappuccino with skim or soy milk. Or, try a tall Frappuccino "light". It's only got 165 calories and 3 grams of fat! As for tea, any unsweetened variety will do.
- At the sandwich shop
A totally easy place to keep on track because you can customize your order. Turkey or chicken breast are always healthy options. Opt for whole grain bread, and pile on the veggies! Request mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce or hummus instead of mayo—you can cut an extra 80 to 100 calories!
- At the ballgame…(and the hard to resist concession
Yu could always eat before you go—or sneak in some healthy snacks. But that's no fun! Try sharing a large bag of elephant peanuts: 28 peanuts are just 160 calories full of protein. And the shelling process slows down your munching!
Some other lower calorie ballpark options:
1/3 of a soft pretzel 160 calories
cotton candy 110 calories
frozen yogurt 150 calories
large handful of Cracker Jacks 120 calories
Order a bunch of grilled chicken snack wraps. The Honey Mustard and Chipotle BBQ are just 250 calories each! Or, order a salad with grilled chicken, just be sure to ask for low-fat dressing!
If you're craving a burger, stick with a plain one stacked with lettuce, tomato, onion and a squirt of ketchup, mustard or BBQ sauce. Lose the top of the bun, and you'll save about 80 calories!
- At
the Diner…
Lots of places will serve breakfast all day—omelets are a PERFECT way to stay on track! Try an egg white omelet stuffed with vegetables. Beware of the diner salads! They usually come already tossed with about 6 tbsp. of dressing—about 600 calories! Ask for the vinaigrette or house specialty on the side and drizzle a few teaspoons.

|A grilled chicken breast, finished with caramelized onion, bacon and sauteed mushroom, topped with cheese and passed under the broiler.
Grilled and Smothered ChickenMy Mama was such a fun person. I sure do miss her. One of the things that I used to love to do with her was to go to restaurants together and one of our favorites was Ruby Tuesday located right on the beach in Biloxi - gone now thanks to Hurricane Katrina. We would eat far too much, laugh a lot, and it was just a wonderful time, and boy did she love those ribs!
I can't recall if it was there or another restaurant where we tried this chicken recipe once - a marinated, grilled chicken breast, simply smothered in caramelized onion, bacon and mushroom and topped with cheese. So good. Well, Mama being the great cook that she was, went home and set out to duplicate that and a new favorite was born.
You can do the final step in a single baking dish, but Mama used to finish these in little individual baking dishes, which is the best way in my opinion. The juices accumulate in the dishes and make a bit of a pan sauce in the bottom, perfect for dipping bites of the chicken in - and just yummy. When I saw those little dishes come out, I knew this dish was coming up for supper!
While fantastic as a main dish, these also make great sandwiches and sliders for a party too. Thin the breast but pounding or slicing lengthwise and trim them into cutlets about the size of your roll or bun before grilling.
Recipe: Mama's Grilled and Smothered ChickenFrom the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 15 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
For the Smothered Chicken:
- 2/3 cup of olive oil
- 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon of Colgin Liquid Smoke
- 2 teaspoons of garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon of dried rosemary, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4-6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 4 slices of bacon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
- 4-8 slices of Provolone cheese, or enough to cover each piece of chicken
Pound the chicken breasts, or slice in half lengthwise, so that they are evenly thick. Put all of the marinade ingredients in a Ziploc bag, mix well and extract a couple of tablespoons for basting. Add the chicken, seal, squish around a bit, and let marinate in the fridge for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours.
Cook the bacon in a skillet until crisp, remove and drain on a paper towel; set aside and crumble when cooled. Add the butter to the bacon fat, and saute the onion, cooking until caramelized. Using a slotted spoon, remove the onion and set aside; add the mushrooms and cook, remove and set aside. You'll be layering these ingredients on the chicken.
At the same time, grill, pan sear, or broil the chicken, until done - time will be dependent on the size and thickness of the breasts and the method of cooking.
Preheat the broiler. Place the cooked chicken into a shallow baking dish or better, into mini bakers . If using mini serving dishes, just place them all on a baking sheet to cook and finish. Brush each piece of chicken with some of the reserved marinade, then top with the crumbled bacon, then mushrooms and last onion. Stick under the broiler for just long enough to warm the onions and mushrooms. Remove and top each piece of chicken with provolone slices to cover, return to the broiler long enough to melt the cheese. Serve immediately.
Cook's Notes: Substitute any cheese you like for the provolone. Makes great individual sandwiches or even sliders. For sandwiches or sliders, after thinning, trim into cutlets the size of your rolls before grilling.

Terror in Gaza: End the cycle of retaliation
ANONYMOUS BACKS GAZA VICTIMS WITH MASSIVE HACK ATTACK ON ISRAELI WAR STATE see below
|"This post on the Gaza horror is 6 years old. It could have been written today. Israel will never change its policy of State terrorism while it is sponsored by the biggest bully on the block :the USA. The fascistic government needs a few Israeli deaths to prop up falling support for its national/religious regime."admin
Israel must end its provocations and cycles of retaliations if it ever wants to achieve peace.
If Israel ever hopes to stop the cycle of brutal violence, it must take negotiations more seriously, writes Bishara [AFP]
| Watching the escalation in Israel/Palestine and the preparations for a possible all-out assault on the Gaza Strip, one hears many insightful and original commentary. Alas, when it's original it's usually inaccurate, and when it's right it's hardly new. Netanyahu, like his predecessors, is using the assassination of Hamas's leader Ahmad Jabari and subsequent escalation to undermine the Palestinian leadership's (Hamas and Fatah's) political standing and improve his own political chances, by underlining Israel's national security over economic security as the core issue preoccupying the nation, ahead of the elections. To make the point, here's a piece I published six years ago titled, "Mideast: End the cycle of retaliation", with minor changes of dates, names etc. As they continue to repeat themselves tirelessly and recycle the same claims, I shall repeat my analysis…( * 0nly changes are in yellow italics)

40 Easy Christmas Centerpiece Ideas
Easy elegance
A few Christmas elements add up to one dashing display! Place a large ball ornament, a single rose and a few evergreen sprigs on a dinner plate. Cover the arrangement with a cloche. To keep the rose fresh, put the stem in a florist's water tube.
Pretty paperwhites
Place paperwhites in a large compote or bowl. Cover the potting soil with mini ball ornaments in colors that coordinate with your holiday scheme.
Tower of apples
Green apples are the perfect hue for an easy Christmas display. Fill a glass jar with apples; mix in loose greens for a wintry feel. Place container on a beveled edge mirror (that serves as a table runner). Fill in with additional greens, ball ornaments and candles of different sizes.
Card-display tree
Show off Christmas cards on a centerpiece "tree" made with twigs from the yard. Arrange twigs in a pitcher or vase, and clip or tie cards to twig ends. For an added burst of holiday color, weave a red ribbon or piece of rickrack through the display.
Natural touches
Wintry white tulips lend a soft touch to this natural holiday centerpiece. Fill varying sizes of glassware with fresh flowers, and arrange around metallic-sprayed pinecones and silvery ornaments.
Amaryllis beauty
A tall, clear cylindrical vase supports amaryllis blooms in just a few inches of water. Put cranberries in the bottom and wrap a bright red ribbon at the waterline. A sprig of greenery continues the holiday theme.
Luminaria glow
Transform plain white paper bags into luminarias for an inexpensive centerpiece. Use a large scalloped-edge punch to decorate the bags, then weave ribbon through the openings and secure with tape. Use battery-operated tea lights instead of candles.
Easy flower arrangement
Create your own customized flower composition by covering coffee cans with wrapping paper and embellishing them with ribbon. Fill with inexpensive white carnations and baby's breath, plus evergreens cut from your yard.
Red-and-white all over
Centerpieces of red-and-white carnations set the tone for this table. Complete the setting with clear glass jars filled with mints, peppermints scattered on the table, red-and-white ornaments and more.
Game greeting
Using Scrabble game tiles, spell out a seasonal message. Place on a platter and accent with ornaments, fresh greens, nuts, berries or ribbons.
Pyramid of ornaments
Create a pyramid of solid-color ball ornaments on top of a compote. Use a hot-glue gun or scrapbooking glue dots to adhere ball ornaments to each other. Fill in with loose evergreens. To complete the look, top candlesticks and votive holders with matching ball ornaments.
Carnation candle holders
Encircle glass hurricanes with carnation "wreaths" for a pretty Christmas tabletop. Create the wreaths with florist foam wreath bases, scarlet carnations and small ball ornaments.
White Christmas
Make a mini tree the focal point of the dinner table. For a simple, dreamy look, use a white artificial tree. Anchor it in a tin pail and adorn with white lights and paper stars or other all-white ornaments.
Bright idea
Recycle Christmas bulbs as a quick centerpiece. Place a single pillar candle in a glass dish and fill in with festive-color lights.
Snowy scenes
Create a white Christmas using inexpensive glass cylinders from a crafts store. Place one cylinder inside a larger one, then sprinkle a dusting of fake snow between the two and nestle a sprig of greenery on top of the snow. Add a pillar candle or battery-operated candle inside the center cylinder. Group different size cylinders for your display.
Floral fun
Enliven basic glass vases with Christmas-color scrapbooking papers. Simply cut papers to fit around the vases and secure with double-sided tape. Tie red string (with silver bells attached) around the vases and insert winter bouquets.
Tiny trees
Foot-high yew trees, with root balls nestled in moss, look fresh lined up in a galvanized tray. Anchor with white and purple eggplants for an all-natural centerpiece.
Row of paper trees
Turn holiday-theme scrapbooking papers into an inexpensive tabletop display. Cut and fold papers to create simple cone "trees" of different sizes. Secure seams with double-sided tape.
Merry moss
For a low centerpiece, fill a tray with moss and votive candles in holiday holders.
Bountiful bowl
Fresh loose greens, large pinecones and red pears give a compote a natural look. Tuck in antlers for a rustic touch.
Berry red display
Fill a bowl with red cranberries, and stick a single red rose in the center. Put the stem in a florist's water tube to keep the flower fresh. A few evergreen sprigs provide accent color.
Make candlestick cones
Top silver candlesticks with silvery painted pinecones for an elegant display. Group several on a tray, and add some blue or silver ornaments for even more impact.
To paint pinecones, apply several thin coats of metallic silver spray paint.
Serve up a centerpiece
To make a showy centerpiece, place solid-color ball ornaments inside a clear-glass vase and "serve" on a silver tray. Sprinkle faux snow over the display, and wrap it up with matching ribbon.
Snow globe cloche
Transform a cloche into a snow globe with a few crafts materials. Set a snowman ornament on a layer of fluffy snow. Cover with a bell-shape cloche embellished with rhinestone gems. Scatter snowflake confetti to complete the arrangement.
Cranberry glow
For quick holiday color, surround a cranberry-color candle inside a glass cylinder with fresh cranberries. Add a few sparkly ornaments around the base, and you're done!
Lantern light
Surround lanterns with fresh greenery and pine cones for a classic, elegant centerpiece.
Centerpiece chic
To craft a quick centerpiece, gather evergreen boughs into a container covered in red silk flowers.
Remove stems from silk flowers, and hot-glue blossoms to a cylindrical container. Fill container with water and fresh evergreens.
Wrapping paper trees
Trim the dinner table with paper trees in gleeful holiday colors and patterns. For the simplest tree, shown in fuchsia, wrap paper around a foam cone. Trim to fit, and secure with pushpins. Overlapping circle cutouts create the scalloped look of the chartreuse tree. Make shapes with a circle punch (available at scrapbooking stores); then attach with glue. For the apple-green looped tree, fold a sheet of paper in half, securing with spray adhesive. Cut 1x5-inch paper strips. Starting at the bottom, layer looped strips, securing with pushpins, to cover the foam cone. Grouped trees form a striking centerpiece.
Focus on family
Make family photos the focus of your centerpiece. Choose pics from Christmases past for a trip down memory lane. Place two photos back-to-back on memo clips, so you'll be able to see a picture no matter where you sit. Set photos on a cake stand or plate using frosted gel memo cubes or clay.
Long-stemmed beauty
Spectacular yet easy, our long-stemmed amaryllis centerpiece sparkles in its tall glass vase. A length of sheer ribbon holds the stems together.
Centerpiece of greens
A clear container nestled in a green wreath holds bright green ornaments and a spray of mixed evergreens, all set off by a red tablecloth. Matching green wreaths hang in the dining room window.
Clear glass sparkle
Create a lovely centerpiece with an assortment of clear or lightly tinted glass bottles. Fill some with small glass balls, and add a sprig of boxwood or other greenery. Everyday white dishes look fresh and elegant with a colored linen napkin on top.
Easy and elegant
Create this pretty centerpiece in just a couple of minutes. Float roses and a few evergreen twigs inside a clear container, and surround with holly. Build on a clear tray or platter, and you've got an easily portable decoration!
Sparkly candles
Add homemade sparkle to your candle centerpieces. Coat candles with Mod Podge, then roll in epsom salt for a sparkly, snow-covered effect. Arrange on a tray filled with more epsom salt and finish with a few sprigs of holly or other greens.
Cranberries and roses
Start with an 8-inch square clear-glass vase. Cut a piece of floral foam to a size that lets a layer of cranberries fit between the foam and the vase. Cover with water. Insert red roses, striped 'Hocus Pocus' roses, red tulips and gold-tipped cedar (all available from florists) and silvery ornaments. Thread cranberries on thin florist's wire to loop above the arrangement.
Three tiers!
Fill the hollow stems of stacked clear-glass cake plates with cranberries. Silver ornaments, spray-painted silver nuts and evergreen sprigs line the plates; a trio of tiny trees garnished with cranberries rests on the top layer.
Tray chic
A fancy vintage silver tray becomes a standout centerpiece when dressed with glowing tea lights, several glitzy ornaments, fresh cedar branches and a single pinecone.
All mixed up
Stack three or four mixing bowls to create tiers for displaying mini ornaments, dried pods or nuts, clipped greens, hard candies, ribbons, tinsel or fruits. To prevent the mixing bowls from sitting too low, place a cereal bowl upside down between each layer.
Fruit fillers
Place pillar candles, evergreen branches, pinecones and clementines on a beveled-edge mirror for a nature-inspired tabletop arrangement. Don't like orange? Bring in green pears or red apples for traditional holiday color.
Pinecone tree
Use materials from your yard and crafts store to make a display worth showing off until winter is past. Stand branches in a clear cylindrical vase, adding small pinecones and glass or plastic balls filled with greenery to support the branches. Hang small pinecones and tiny snowflake ornaments from the branches.

Help Pets Affected by Superstorm Sandy
Roll over image to zoom in
Help shelters rescue and care for animals affected by Superstorm Sandy.
Superstorm Sandy was one of the worst weather events in recent U.S. history. Millions lost power, and homes and infrastructure alike were damaged or destroyed by high winds, storm surge, and intense flooding. Several states have declared an official emergency.
Pets are especially vulnerable during huge weather events like this one. So, our charitable partners are providing emergency shelter, first aid, and rescue where needed to make sure pets stay as safe as their owners during the storm and its aftermath.
You can help! Your donation will support rescue groups and shelters along the East Coast as they provide food, clean water, shelter, and emergency aid to pets and comfort to their families in the aftermath of the Superstorm.
Our partners are working hard to ensure that pets get the help they need.
Thank you for helping pets in the wake of Superstorm Sandy!
Report from the Field
On November 5th, GreaterGood.org sent the first grants made possible by this Gift: $10,000 each for the Woodbridge Animal Shelter and the Humane Society of Atlantic County which have been hard hit by the flooding. An additional $25,000 has been sent to the International Fund for Animal Welfare to aid their efforts to rescue animals left behind in flooded areas.
"We sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what you are doing for us," wrote Heather Campione, Woodbridge Animal Shelter Supervisor. "The water surge filled our basement and came five feet into our main floor." Although able to move the animals out of harm's way, the shelter lost most of their supplies, medicines, and food. "Because of your kindness, we will be back on all four paws very shortly," added Campione.
Throughout November, additional grants were sent to St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center, Animal Alliance, Animal Lifeline, and Red Rover as well.
This Gift also supported temporary shelters and supplies for pet owners currently unable to feed or house their pet. These grants went to Rescue Bank, ASPCA, International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), and the Humane Society of United States (HSUS) for their efforts throughout the communities hit by Superstorm Sandy.

Breeding Paradox
Can dog-breeding practices be changed?
Please note comments are moderated. After being approved your comment will appear below.
Submitted by desertrat | October 3 2011 | Permalink
I'm surprised, given the mention of Labradors in the intro, that the author didn't bring up the wildly divergent processes taken by breeders of show labs and breeders of working labs...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labrador_Retriever#Show_and_field_lines...to the point that they're almost separate breeds.
Also, it's often shocking to see the difference between AKC registered dogs of 60-70 years ago versus modern ones.

The comment that breeders are purposely breeding in genetic defects due to line breeding is misleading. If one has genetically pure dogs that have no health issues then line breeding is the way to insure that no genetic problems will appear. The problem with most health issues is that they are not always related to heredity. Health problems can be caused during the cell dividing process or later due to some nutrient deficiency. The problem with blaming breeders regarding the shape of their dogs is the same argument that so called human beings dish out for those people who are different from them in height, size or lack the so called normal body type. Should we now tell the these people that they may not have children because only so called normal people can be born? This is a similar issue when the nazi dog police only want a certain type of dog to be born. There is nothing wrong with short legs, or short body or a short head as long as the owner can make accommodations for their pets as we would for any human being. Yes, the bulldog has changed over time due to the standards written, but so do plants and so do people. Should we destroy an entire breed just because some one says that look is not healthy. I have known many bulldogs that could birth their own puppies and had no health problems. There is no real reason to pay any attention to the nazi dog police who write articles like this one because every living creature is born with 30 or more defective genes. That is natures way of ensuring the species survives should something go wrong in nature. You can never get rid of all of the m or even reduce the number of defective genes.

What would Pacelle know about dogs.. he owns no dogs, has never bred a dog ( that would be against everything he stands for) and surely has very little knowledge about what is best for dogs or cattle. Heritage breeds are critical in most species. but if you don;t like that quote from Pacelle perhaps this one will ring more true:
"I don't have a hands-on fondness for animals…To this day I don't feel bonded to any non-human animal. I like them and I pet them and I'm kind to them, but there's no special bond between me and other animals." Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote,
or maybe this one:
When asked if he envisioned a future without pets, "If I had my personal view, perhaps that might take hold. In fact, I don't want to see another dog or cat born." Wayne Pacelle quoted in Bloodties: Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote,
or maybe this one will do:
"Animals for the most part just need to be left alone." Wayne Pacelle, CEO of the Humane Society of the United States, Los Angeles Times, July 19, 2008
how many times can you be misquoted, Mr. Pacelle?
Meanwhile the HSUS has not donated ONE THIN DIME to help the health of the pure bred dog.
Americans are not "Brits".. funny thing that.. their "national dog" is the bulldog while ours during WW2 was the "pit bull". Brits are willing to "rollover" and be nannied ( after all many of them are raised by nannies) while Americans have more spirit ( at least until lately). We care about our dogs and know that genetic disorders do not occur just in pure bred dogs but we also know that breeders of pure bred dogs fund much of the research to help all dogs.. not just pure breds. Most of us also know that to get into bed with an animal rights group like the HSUS is akin to sleeping with the devil.

Quotes taken out of context from a pro-hunting book published 15 years ago are hardly a good representation of Pacelle's current point of view. The breeders' paranoia about the "animal rights" movement ignores the validity of anything said by animal advocates. Inbreeding might cause health problems? Rubbish! Closed blood lines might cause genetic defects? Nonsense! Breeding for appearance might ignore physical problems? Ridiculous! Veterinarians urge caution? They must be animal rightsers in disguise. Animal shelters suggest adopting a pet? They're trying to cause the extinction of all domestic animals. It seems to be an all-or-nothing point of view. They defend large scale breeders and condemn the use of the word "puppy mill," claiming the under cover photos and videos are staged. They see nothing wrong with tying dogs outside 24/7 and castigate attempts to limit tethering. They lobby against all legislation that protects animals, and when confronted with evidence of animal suffering, they claim there are plenty of laws already on the books to protect animals. Their biggest concern seems to be their right to own, breed, sell and use animals any way they choose, with no restrictions or limits. They insist that animals are property and should not have any legal protection. These are the people who feel threatened by the animal protection movement. These are the people who scream "animal rights" when someone cites examples of dogs who freeze outside in cold weather with no shelter. They cry "hypocrisy" when animal protectors wear leather or eat meat, and cry "fanatic" if they are vegetarian and wear only man-made fabric. I don't eat or wear animal body parts, and I live with a dog and cats. I don't think anyone should "own" any animal, but in the real world, I believe that animal ownership must, at the very least, include humane and thoughtful animal stewardship. Return to Eden? Not likely. But in the US of A, how about at least acknowledging that animals have emotions and feelings, and that we should do our best not to cause them intentional pain and suffering? Am I a fanatic? If so, I wear that label proudly.

Pacelle could elaborate or tell us what his current attitudes are, if in fact he's being misrepresented like he says he is.
Otherwise I continue to believe that he still holds the quoted beliefs; he's just gotten smarter about not letting anyone else hear/know about them.
We're not stupid.

How much money did the HSUS donate from the conference to Canine Health Research?? I can tell you.. ZERO
Submitted by Freedonia | October 10 2011 | Permalink
it deeply saddens me that we Americans have so many dog lovers, so many devoted fans of mixed breed and purebred dogs yet we can not improve the situation of canine health through better breeding practices. I myself think the AKC is not being the champion of the dog. Maybe we need Michael Moore treatment as it seems here in the USA we need a blatant personality/ PR machine to catch the American eye and ask for change for the betterment of man's best friend. otherwise it's AKC business as usual... show business.

MK.. 2008 is hardly 15 years ago.. and if you notice we still frequently quote people from hundreds of years ago. I see that you are a vegan .. fine.have at it.. but most of us own our pets and if we are kind to them we feed them a species correct diet that includes meat.. and lots of it.. but Mr. Pacelles quotes have been around forever... and we still see his shouting NO No.. that is not what I meant.. but saying what he does mean other than he is "more nuanced" today.. nuance means A subtle or slight degree of difference, not that he has changed his mind about anything. of course in order to gain the power and control he needs and craves he must defend himself.. however this "conference' did not fool any serious dog breeders into thinking the HSUS is now wanting to HELP.. as the other poster said.. we are not stupid

Once again, you're attacking Pacelle instead of the message of the conference. No matter who says it, whether it's Wayne Pacelle, the British, veterinarians, shelter workers, or animal advocates, the facts are obvious. Purebred dogs are often susceptible to breed specific genetic problems, and breeders owe it to their chosen breed to try to help eliminate those problems. There are far too many German Shepherds with extremely sloped backs, Pekingese with flat faces, deaf Dalmations with kidney stones, Bulldogs who require cesarean sections, Shar Pei with skin problems, Spaniels with enlarged brains, and so many more. Basenji breeders got serious about Fanconi's and used their knowledge and imported African dogs to help solve the problem. The breed association and the breeders knew there was a problem and worked to solve it. They tested their dogs and cleaned up their breeding stock. Every breed club needs to do the same with their own breeds. They need to look at the health and temperament problems that exist and work together to improve the health of their chosen breed and of all dogs. It's not about who eats meat or what HSUS' agenda might be. It's about the facts and about scientific knowledge. You can breed for color, size, coat length and ear set, so why not breed for health? And why not use the knowledge that's available instead of being divisive and dismissive. If you want the public to think you care about the dogs you breed, you need to act responsibly and not fall back on your hatred of animal rights. And you also need to acknowledge that mass producers of dogs, whether you call them puppy mills or high volume breeders, are not at all concerned about improving the breeds. They are merchandisers and their motivation is profit. As long as you continue claiming that animals are property and don't deserve legislation to protect their health and welfare, your arguments and motives are suspect. You breeders, more than anyone else, should be lobbying against the large scale breeding of dogs with genetic problems. Instead, you harp on attacking Wayne Pacelle, HSUS, and any attempt to protect animals. How sad is that.

I barely read this article or the comments, but one thing stuck out in my scanning. You are calling genetic problems the very characteristics that make breeds unique. Yes characteristics are genetic but in most cases hardly a problem. What do you want, dogs that all look alike meeting what you deem to be okay?

Interesting responses - and, just for information, very few Brits are raised by nannies (and except amongst the upper classes, very few ever were!). Changes made to breed standards and to breeding recommendations by the UK Kennel Club were in response to huge pressure from the scientific community and the general public - who reacted against the nanny-ish, "we know best" attitude of the Kennel Club and the breed societies.
I own pedigree dogs. I plan a litter from one of my bitches. I am not anti-breeder, and I think that somewhere between the extreme positions of "pet animals are anathema, and no more should be bred" and "I have a God given right to do just as I please when breeding my dogs" there is a sensible middle ground, backed up by evidence. Line breeding can lead to more hereditary faults by doubling up recessive and combinations of genes that cause problems - and unless a specific dna test is available the only way of knowing whether a dog is a carrier is when the problem shows up in the offspring. Line breeding also reduce haplotype diversity, which has been linked to autoimmune and other disorders. Breeding for extreme type has led to well-documented issues with a number of breeds, especially the brachycephalic group. "Pure bred" is a human construct - humans can therefore agree to vary the definition. Surely we are all agreed that we want to breed, and to share our lives with, sound, healthy, long lived dogs that are capable of running, playing, and enjoying life; that do not suffer from painful and disabling conditions that could be avoided by applying existing knowledge to the selection of breeding pairs; and that are capable of mating and giving birth without veterinary intervention.
Some breed clubs and breeders have recognised that their breed has issues, and come together to find ways of overcoming them. Others seem to prefer to attack the messenger, or raise straw men to knock down. I know which group I would prefer to be a member of - and which kind of breeder I would prefer to buy a puppy from.

Well said! I believe that one of the biggest problems is that most breed clubs, and therefore breed standards, are controlled by show breeders who have no interest in upsetting the status quo. They have champion dogs because they set the standards, and because they have "champion pedigrees" they can maximize thier profits on pups and stud services. If sensible healthy standards replace the ones that focus only on a certain look, these people would lose revenue, and they have no intention of allowing that to happen. Do they not care about dogs? Maybe they do, but I think they care about money and acclaim more.

I have been a life time dog lover. I've worked in a vet clinic, been a groomer, volunteered with rescue groups etc... I can tell you that the old saying that "mutts are healthier," isn't true anymore- which is of course a sad thing. Unfortunately, the canine population has much larger issues than c-sections, short muzzles, and urinary stones to deal with. Allergies, siezures, cancer are just a few off the top of my head are affecting more and more dogs regardless of their breeding.
I am surprised that an Pulitzer winning author would write such a biased account that focuses on a few issues and just touches on others. He admits to "grossly stereotyping" in the first paragraph. To me this theme continues throughout the rest off the article.

I see here some very valid, if divergent points about purebred dog breeding practices, and I have to say for the record that I despise Wayne P as a hypocrite of the first order. ( Cattle breeders have every right to hate him too, since he was "taken out of context" with his famous quote.) As long as HSUS continues to have ties with PETA, I will not support or endorse them!
