Early in 2006, the Club hosted an informative and educational seminar which featured the world renowned and respected Pat Hastings. There was consensus amongst the attendees to the value of Pat’s presentation and all said “Bring her back”! We’ll certainly try.

ALL BREEDS KENNEL CLUB INC.

Is proud to present a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity …

“THE PUPPY PUZZLE” Seminar

THE PAT HASTINGS APPROACH TO EVALUATING

THE STRUCTURAL QUALITY OF PUPPIES.

This presentation has information to benefit everyone involved in the sport of dogs and every puppy out of a conscientious breeding program. The single most important decision we can make for our puppies is to determine whether each puppy is structurally sound enough to do what we will ask of it in its lifetime. Whether the hope is for the show ring and whelping box or obedience, agility, field trials or flyball, we owe it to our dogs to know in which lifestyle each may best flourish.

Pat, an American, has been involved in the dog world since 1959. She began her career as an owner-handler, moved into breeding, then teamed up with her husband (Bob Hastings) in professional handling.

She is currently an AKC judge of the Herding and Non-Sporting Groups and Working Groups; Junior Showmanship; and Best in Show.  She has articles published in a wide variety of dog magazines.

Here are some of the comments from breeders who have attended a Pat Hastings seminar:

“Fantastic”, Garry Dryburgh (Tezer Kennels)

“So worthwhile”, David Barnes (Faondein Great Danes)

“Invaluable experience”, Pat Wilaby/Pawmarc Spaniels & GSPs (American breeder who has every litter evaluated by Pat Hastings)

“Val and I attended her seminar in America. It was FANTASTIC. We would certainly travel anywhere to attend again”. Narelle/Greydove Weimaraners

THIS SEMINAR IS A “DON’T MISS” EVENT
