AKC Joins Our National


American Kennel Club Joins HCA at National

As you are aware, the Headquarters of the American Kennel Club (AKC) are just a few miles from the hotel where the 2011 Havanese Club of America National Specialty is being held. Thanks to the efforts of Jane Ruthford, the AKC will making this year’s National even more special.

John Lyons, AKC Chief Operating Officer, will be speaking at our Annual Meeting on Friday, July 22nd. The meeting is held one hour after completion of the day’s judging.

Mari-Beth O’Neill, AKC Staff member, will be speaking to our Juniors. This event is still being coordinated with the Chair of our Juniors Committee. Juniors, watch for more information.

Tours of AKC Headquarters have been scheduled through Keith L. Frazier of AKC. To accommodate as many individuals as possible, two tours have been scheduled for Wednesday, July 20th.

The first tour will be from 10:00 am – 12:00 pm. This includes travel time to and from AKC. The second tour will be from 2:00 – 4:00 pm. Again, travel time included.

To reserved space for either time slot, you can contact Jane Ruthford at jruthford@comcast.net. The tours have also been added to our Online Registration. (For those who have already registered for National, you can go back and edit your registration.)

Many Thanks to Jane and the AKC for making our National Specialty even more Special.
