AKC Champion De Joie Du Chateau Rocher
Beauceron, ‘Gideon’ became a new AKC Champion in Gridley California, at the Butte County Kennel Club dog show.
June 18th Gideon won Winner Dog and Best of Opposite Sex for a 4-point major. June 19th he was Best of Breed and placed 4th in the Herding Group. June 20th Gideon went Best of Breed again and cruised into 1st place in the Herding Group. Gideon is also a certified air scent dog with the Klamath County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Dog Unit, and has his Canine Good Citizen title. Gideon has been shown by owner/handle Marlene Palmer.
Three additional Klamath County Sheriff Search & Rescue dogs have passed their “air scent” certification test November 7, 2009. Barb Johnson with her German Shorthair “Ty”, Mary Nelson and her German Shepherd “Zane” and Marlene Palmer with her Beauceron “Gideon” were all tested and passed. Volunteering in the search & rescue dog unit is extremely rewarding. Training a SAR dog takes about 1.5 to 2 years on average and continues for the rest of the operational life of the dog. A good SAR dog should have a stable friendly temperament, excellent scenting capability, strong drive, physical endurance/stamina, high degree of intelligence and a high degree of trainability. This dedicated team of volunteers is OSSA certified and train their canines 1 to 3 times a week for wilderness area search, in air scent and trailing. Shown in the photograph from left to right are: Marlene Palmer and Gideon; Barb Johnson & Ty; and Mary Nelson & Zane+

Volunteers will collaborate with Extension educators to offer food demonstrations at local pantries, grocery stores and schools serving limited resource families. According to Patty Case, coordinator for the program, “One Extension educator can reach a few hundred people, a group of Extension volunteers can reach a few thousand people.
