INGER AKES
AMERICAN ESKIMO DOG ASSOCIATION




FLAEDA is made up of a group of Eskimo enthusiasts who love their dogs and who love to show them off. We are also out for the betterment of the breed. We are a relatively small club but our enthusiasm and our ambition is boundless! We have two shows a year, conformation only as we have a small club and not enough help for obedience. We always welcome new members and if you would like to be a member of this wonderful club, send an e-mail message to the address below and an application will be sent to you. If you just want information about this wonderful breed of dog, please call!! We love talking about them.



At the July 2007 show, we had a surprise when Barbara Deigan came to show her last eskie in obedience. Barb has been in eskies since 1971 and has been an icon of the breed for as long as I have been in the breed. She is also a wonderful lady with a great sense of humor (ask Pat O'Donnell about Moodus, CT). We had a few "old time" eskie people at the show and got them together for a picture. I am glad that Barbara came to the show and we were able to get a picture because Barbara died in November 2007. We were shocked! She will really be missed!

Our May 2008 show is over and a good time was had by all. We had quite a few dogs, more than last May. We had some different dogs at this show too, the one I remember the most was the Portugese Pointer. They had such beautiful faces! But we had alot of dogs and the whole weekend went very smoothly. Even the weather cooperated. We are looking forward to our show in July now. We will have a show on Friday night, 2 on Saturday and one on Sunday. We have ordered great weather from Mother Nature and hope that it is not backordered. Remember at the July shows, we have the traditional chicken barbecue after the Saturday show (chicken, salt potatoes, salad & drink) and we all get to socialize during the dinner. And then we have the Edgar Gray Rotating Memorial Tropy for the Best of the Best on Sunday. So far, we have had a American Pit Bull Terrier, a smooth Fox Terrier, a boxer and a Rhodesian Ridgeback take the trophy home for a year. Who will it be this year?? There will also be a Boxer Specialty on Friday Night after our show. If you are interested in this, talk to Tina Camp. And Christine Fuller is doing CGC testing also. We should have a fantastic weekend in July. Below are pictures from the May show.

At the July 2004 show, we started a new tradition - a rotating trophy for "The Best of the Best of Show". It is called the "Edgar Gray Memorial Rotating Trophy" and is named after one of the founding members of our club and the father of the president of our club. It is an all mahogany trophy made especially for us by the company that Renee O'Donnell use to work for and it is beautiful!! We will put a plaque on the base with the name of the winner each year and the owners can keep the trophy for a year and bring it back the following year. Here is a picture of the trophy itself. Isn't it beautiful?



There was some tough competition this year for the rotating trophy. It included an American Eskimo,an English Springer Spaniel and a Rhodesian Ridgeback(he won Best of Show twice!) and the judges (John Davidson, Sally Davidson, David Kittridge and Eleanor Main) had a tough time making up their minds because all of the dogs were especially beautiful. But the decision was finally made and the trophy actually stayed in New York and went to Eileen Bailey and Cody (MBIS U-GrCh, AKC Ch Symetri's Code Red, CGC, TT, HIC) . To tell the truth, no matter which dog was chosen as Best of the Best, it would have stayed in New York.

(Thanks, Tina, for being such a good sport!)


Take a look at Tina, 2005 and then 2007 - how she has changed!!
