Page 12, News, Tuesday, February 5, 1991 Pet Talk by Alice Scott The Canadian Kennel Club divides all recognized breeds into 7 groups. The first group is the "Sporting dogs". The dogs in this group are: Griffon, Pointer, German Shorthaired pointer, German wirehaired pointer, Pudle_ pointer, Chesapeake Bay retriever, Curley coated retriever, Golden retriever, Labrador retriever, Nova Scotia duck tolling, English setter, Gordon setter, Irish setter, American cocker spaniel, American water spaniel, Brittany spaniel, Clumber spaniel, English cocker spaniel, English springer spaniel, Field spaniel, French spaniel, Irish Water | spaniel, Sussex spaniel, Welsh springer spaniel, Vizsla smooth and_ wirehaired, Weimamer. Each of these dogs are dif- ferent in their own way but they all have something in common, that is they have all been used for the sport of hunting, either as pointers, flushing or retrievers. Some breeds such as the American cocker and English Cocker have become more rec- ognized as household pets than Sporting dogs hunting dogs. Others, like the Labrador, Golden and Chesapeake Bay retrievers are very popular as household pets and hunting dogs. Gone are the days that hunting dogs are treated as outdoor dogs and not family members. These breeds are excellent with children and well known for their obedience and tem- perament. Always check the kennel before investing in a dog. The Canadian Kennel Club has lists of breeders from each group. If you are interested in a sporting dog, remember they are very active and need regu- lar exercise. some such as the spaniels, golden retriever and setters need extra grooming or regular clipping. These are not suitable for elderly, retired people because of their energy. If you decide on a sporting breed, first read a book-on the particular breed you would like to purchase. Also don't limit your choice to a puppy. Older, retired breeding dogs also make excellent compan- ions and are already house trained. <<" ray Nae aI a res > = Commission canadienne des droits de la personne "Equality is more than appearance" Canadian Human Rights Commission « Végalité va au-dela des apparences » 105 6OD10Z WOSLOD(OSLOF(O % "Vheauk You oe We wauld like te take this thaule Dr. Fibbert and the e opportunity to (we This winter a record num- ber of riders will be hitting snowmobile trails across Ontario to help The Easter Seal Society raise over $550,000 as they participate in Snowarama, the annual Easter Seal Society special fundrais- ing event.

"riders raised $440,000 last year" Last year Ontario snowmo- bile riders raised $440,000 through 29 independent Snowarama events that were co-ordinated by local Ontario snowmobile clubs and commu- nity service organizations. In total, 2,200 snowmobile riders participated in Snowarama. "This year we already have commitments by 40 communi- ties and their local snowmobile clubs to host a Snowarama event," Executive Director of The Easter Seal Society. "We are overwhelmed by the growing commitment and support that this group is giving to our physically disabled children and young adults, especially at a time when rising costs are threatening some Easter Seal Community programs."

Specifically, Snowarama funds The Easter Seal's province-wide camping, nursing and other community service programs. "In addition to inflationary pressures," said Ely, "we are also faced with meeting the needs of more children and their families. Often they require highly spe- cialized care and special equipment which is expensive. In the past, Snowarama has helped us maintain these pro- grams, and we are hopeful this year will prove to be just as successful." The Easter Seal Society attributes past successes and continued growth of Snowarama to Ontario snow- mobilers' strong belief in what the organization stands for and accomplishes. "Because these events are held in small com- munities, our riders usually know the children and families who directly benefit from their efforts," said Ely. "In fact, Easter Seals' Snowarama enjoys the full support of The Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC), which represents over 50,000 individual members." Fundraising supports local families The OFSC's endorsement of the event as well as the com- mitments of the various ser- vice clubs is important to Easter Seals.

This makes the event both fun and safe." Organization makes event both fun and safe Ely also attributes the con- tinued success of the event to the fact that snowmobiling in Ontario is growing at a tremendous pace and is rapidly becoming a well-respected and highly accepted winter sport. "Snowmobiling is a vital part of the Ontario tourism industry. In the last four years, the number of snowmobile rid- ers in the province has more than tripled," said Ely. "And, it is estimated that over $240 million is spent on the winter sport each year." Anyone interested in partic- ipation in a Snowarama event can contact The Easter Seal Society's head office in Toronto by dialing toll-free: 1- 800-668-6252. "We will tell interested riders where and when the nearest event is being held and provide them with all the information they need to secure their own pledges," said Elyse bins Ely further added that any- one interested in making a donation or sponsoring a rider in one of the 40 communities should also contact the Easter Seal Society in Toronto. "This year we are trying to support our riders by urging their communities as well. as communities in surrounding areas to support their efforts through a pledge or donation."
