Westie Updates
Vol. 2 No. 3 March 5, 2015
President’s Message
Dear fellow WHWTCA members and friends,
I hope this message finds you all doing well and looking forward to spring. Many of us
have seen far too much of this rugged winter and the blossoming of spring cannot
come soon enough for all of us and our special Westies!!
There are several items I wanted to mention so that you will be updated on where we
are and what we are working on. Elsewhere in this Westie Updates you will find
information about the new Lottery for the 2015 Westie Imprint. Our first issue will be
out in the summer and will have an adverting deadline of May 31st 2015. As details
are finalized, we will get the word out via the Updates, the chat list and the Website. I
imagine there will be a few hiccups along the way as the Imprint takes on its rebirth
with its new team of volunteers, but we are sure with your support and patience, you
will not be disappointed. It’s wonderful that we have members who have stepped up
to assure we maintain a quality magazine.
As we have filled out our various committees for the National Specialty week in
October, we are still in desperate need of an Auction Chairperson…..or a small willing
team to chair it. This is our main fundraising event and we cannot afford to allow it to
disappear. Please consider taking this on. You will have help and will not stand alone in
making it a success. Please contact either myself or Tracy Pancost, National Specialty
Chairperson if you would like to discuss the details of the position. We really need to
hear from you. With our number of members, there really is no reason to not have a
number of willing volunteers.
Your Board will be meeting in Louisville on March 14th during the WHWTC of Indiana
Specialty. We have a very full agenda. I know the Indiana Specialty will continue to be
the wonderful Specialty that it always is. I look forward to seeing many of you there. If
you have a concern you wish to see before the board, please contact me as soon as
possible so it can be put on the agenda.
Thank you for your continued support and commitment to our breed and our club.

WHWTCA Quality Westie Program
I’m pleased and excited to announce a new event and title for Westies. The WHWTCA
Board recently approved the Quality Westie (QW) program for implementation in
2015, with the goal that the first live event will be held at Montgomery in 2015.
WHWTCA Quality
Westie Program
Quality Westie is meant to provide a new and useful way for Westie breeders and
owners to recognize and document Westies that meet the breed standard, and enable
breeders to focus on producing Westies with proper type and exhibiting proper
temperament and soundness, and maintain and protect the future of Westies.
The keys to the Quality Westie program are:
WHO: Evaluation of whether a Westie meets the breed standard by a panel of 3
experienced and knowledgeable Westie breeders.
WHAT: A written and signed document by the evaluators given to the owner, plus a
certificate from the WHWTCA for those Westies who pass.
WHEN: Multiple evaluation events/year, hosted by the national club or regional clubs.
WHERE: Separate venue and date from any AKC conformation show.
WHY: Simple, useful method to recognize quality Westies for breeders and owners.
NOTE: This entire process is held within the WHWTCA, and no other organization is
involved at all. The evaluation is a NON-COMPETITIVE event.
Why is this event created? There is evidence of growing frustration with the time, cost
and complexity of the current competitive process of identifying quality dogs. Many
members feel that there is undue emphasis on presentation and showmanship, and a
decreasing focus on breeding to the standard.
Several other breeds have developed formal, non-competitive breed standard
assessments and titles. Arguably, one of the best and well-documented programs is
the Certificate of Conformation Assessment (CCA) program of the Golden Retriever
Club of America, which was established in 2004. Approximately 2,265 Goldens
achieved the CCA title as of the end of 2013. There is a wealth of information on the
CCA program at www.grca.org/events/CCA.
The Quality Westie program is largely based on the Golden CCA program.
Who will be the QW Evaluators?
9 to 12 experienced and knowledgeable Westie breeders will be in the initial group
of evaluators.
All evaluators must be members of the WHWTCA for a minimum of 10 years and
have bred at least 5 Westie litters.
All evaluators must have finished at least 1 Westie by themselves to an AKC
championship.
At least 1 member of every 3 person evaluation panel must also be a current AKC
approved Westie breeder-judge. It’s possible that there will be two (or even all
three) Westie breeder-judges on the evaluator panel.
After the initial year of QW events, more evaluators could be nominated by club
membership. The top 12 vote getters would be selected as the evaluator group
for future events.
The WHWTCA Board selects the evaluation panel for Montgomery. Panels for QW
events at the Roving and any regional specialties are selected from the approved
evaluator group by the hosting clubs.
How does the evaluation process work?
1. Evaluation event & entry form advertised in Imprint, website, chat room, and
social media.
2. Entry form and fee sent to WHWTCA.
At Venue:
3. 3 tables in evaluation space; 3 dogs evaluated simultaneously by the three
evaluators.
4. Each evaluator examines each dog individually, and records on score sheet while
evaluating dog.
5. After dogs are evaluated for structure, the 3 dogs are gaited individually and
together & evaluated for movement and “mingled” for temperament. Movement
and structure are very closely related; generally, you don’t have good movement
and poor structure and vice versa.
6. Dogs are excused from evaluation space. Evaluators then sit at a table & write
their evaluation of each dog on the score sheets in triplicate, and sign the sheets.
7. Copy of written & signed evaluations given to owner. Copies also to evaluator and
WHWTCA. If dog has passed, QW certificate from WHWTCA mailed later.
8. Next group of 3 dogs enters evaluation space.
9. Estimate that evaluation process for each group of 3 dogs will take ~ 45 minutes:
- 10 minutes table evaluation for each dog x 3 evaluators.
- 5 minutes for gaiting and “mingling”.
- 10 minutes for evaluators to complete evaluation sheets.
10. Estimate that 24 dogs could be evaluated in a one day session (9 am - 12, 1 pm – 4
pm). 3 dogs/session x 8 sessions.
Note:
Dogs entered are to be at least 18 months old.
Dogs are to be presented neat and clean.
No need for show grooming. No foreign material in coat.
No professional handlers, unless they are the sole owner of the dog and have been so
for at least a year.
How are the dogs scored?
To achieve Quality Westie, dog must obtain a score of 75 or greater from three
different evaluators (can be from more than one event). No category can be scored
less than a 5 to attain the passing score of 75.
10 categories to be scored; 10 points in each category:
1. General appearance
2. Size, proportion, balance, substance (incl. bone)
3. Head: skull, muzzle, ears, eyes, expression
4. Bite: 6 incisors upper and lower, level or scissors bite
5. Neck, topline, ribs, chest, tail and tail set
6. Forequarters: shoulders, upper arms, elbows, front angulation, front legs and feet
7. Hindquarters: thighs, hocks, rear angulation, feet
8. Coat and color
9. Gait
10. Temperament
Quality Westie Event Planning:
The goal is to have the first live QW event at Montgomery, 2015.
The QW event will be held either on Wednesday of Montgomery week, or on Monday
(the day after the Montgomery show)..
Much of 2015 will be spent in educating and clarifying the breed standard to the entire
club membership, plus evaluator training and consensus-building (to try to reach as
much agreement as possible on category weightings and scoring).
Key Benefits of the Quality Westie Program:
1. Provides an opportunity for a very significant focus, clarification and
understanding of the standard of the WHWT for all WHWTCA members as well as
owners of Westies.
2. Provides the opportunity for all participants (especially breeders) to get an indepth written and signed expert opinion on how their dog measures up to the
standard from three very experienced and knowledgeable Westie breeders
(including at least one AKC approved Westie breeder-judge among the evaluators).
3. Provides an excellent opportunity to produce camaraderie among participants and
attendees outside of the ring. Meet with fellow breeders and discuss potential
breedings, what you need to improve your line, progeny, etc.
Summary:
The major reason for developing the QW program was to encourage much more
emphasis and focus on producing Westies that truly meet the standard. Please note
that the QW program is NOT meant to change or replace the AKC conformation shows
or the Champion title. People are free to pursue showing in conformation shows the
same as always. QW simply provides an additional way to identify quality Westies for
those people who prefer the method afforded by the QW program.
The QW program is not perfect, but I hope it’s a positive move towards improving the
breed. I hope that future additions/improvements to the program will include health,
and a stronger, more explicit measure of good temperament.
