Philadelphia’s Streetscape Has Gone to the Dogs ARTICLE AND PHOTOS BY DAN SAYERS A merica’s cityscapes are dotted with public art installations. From Seattle to San Juan, civic pride is celebrated outdoors through works of art ranging from the traditional to the avant–garde.
can be found across the city. The design for this beastly bal- ustrade appeared in Lewis Nockalls Cottingham’s The Smith, Founders and Ornamental Metal-Workers Director , pub- lished in London in 1824. The lively ornamental casting was originally lent to the Episcopal Community Services, owner property when the area underwent significant restoration in the 1950s. The hounds have watched over the street ever since. The house’s original owner, Brigadier General William Henry Winder, was a controversial figure in American his- tory who led his troops in a disastrous campaign during the War of 1812. His Philadelphia neighbors included Samuel and Mary Powell whose Georgian-style home hosted many nota- ble guests, including Benjamin Franklin and the Marquis de Lafayette. George and Martha Washington also lived on the street from 1781–1782 in the home of John Penn, the last colo- nial governor of Pennsylvania and grandson of the Common- wealth’s founder, William Penn. In more recent years, other notable Philadelphians have called this block of Third Street home. Herbert T. Morris, co–founder of the Tasty Baking Company and Vice President of the Philadelphia Zoological Garden lived here. In 1951, Morris presented the city’s Fair- mount Park Commission with a 48–acre tract of land adjoin- ing the Wissahickon Valley. The parcel was once the estate of T. E. Mitten whose son bred English Setters on the property. Dr. A. A. Mitten’s Happy Valley Kennels produced many nota- ble winners, including Ch. Blue Dan of Happy Valley, Best American Bred in Show at Westminster in 1931 and ’33.
Though many sculptures honor pride–of–place or historical figures, more than a few can leave viewers scratching their heads in bemusement. When a giant clothespin was installed across the street from Philadelphia’s city hall, many residents viewed Claes Oldenburg’s work as some sort of colossal joke. However, it didn’t take long before onlookers started to imagine the steel structure as two figures in an embrace. The giant totem has since become a destination where peo- ple choose to meet. Thanks to a progressive art commission that requires developers to dedicate at least one percent of total construction costs toward the commissioning of origi- nal site–specific works of art, the City of Brotherly Love has become a veritable art museum without walls (or admission fees!) Some of the pieces even honor the timeless appeal of the purebred dog. These works can genuinely be considered part of the city’s “pup”–lic art program. A WHIPPET BALCONY In the Society Hill neighborhood, a balcony on the second floor of the Winder House features a pair of hounds that greet passersby on South Third Street. Once part of the Philadel- phia Museum of Art’s collection, the “Whippet Balcony” is one of hundreds of early nineteenth century ironworks that “THANKS TO A PROGRESSIVE ART COMMISSION THAT REQUIRES DEVELOPERS TO DEDICATE AT LEAST ONE PERCENT OF TOTAL CONSTRUCTION COSTS TOWARD THE COMMISSIONING OF ORIGINAL SITE–SPECIFIC WORKS OF ART...”

A WHIMSICAL FENCE Society Hill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Among the stylish neighborhood’s many notable pub- lic spaces is a “pocket park” located a short walk from the Winder House. Named for William Heathcote Delancey, sixth provost of the University of Pennsylvania, Delancey Street Park provides an oasis of green that’s surrounded by four centuries of residential properties. Among the recent addi- tions to the streetscape is a modern masterpiece that blends seamlessly with the adjoining 18th, 19th and 20th–century properties. The front courtyard of this contemporary house is protected by a whimsical gate that features an array of flora and fauna, each piece hand–crafted in stainless steel. Among the recognizable characters on display is a small Terrier that’s simultaneously greeter and guard. In the few short years that it’s been on duty, the little dog’s surface has taken on a patina that’s given it a recognizable boldness. The Terrier’s most notable neighbor is the Hill-Physick House just across the street. Built in 1786 by Henry Hill, a wealthy Madeira wine importer who provided the libation to the nation’s founding fathers, the house next became the home of Philip Syng Phys- ick, “the father of American surgery.” When the three-story brick building fell into disrepair, it was restored by publisher and philanthropist Walter Annenberg. Annenberg’s daugh- ter, Wallis Annenberg, has taken up her father’s altruism by opening PetSpace in Playa Vista, California. The interactive adoption and education center honors the bond between pets and people as it explores the origin and science of that eternal relationship. A NORTHERN STAR The William Penn Annex Post Office at 9th and Chest- nut Streets was a sleek, state–of–the–art communications
center when it opened in 1937. For more than 80 years, its 42 aluminum–trimmed service windows have greeted custom- ers in a long, streamlined retail hall with a soaring ceiling and geometric Art Deco floor. Visitors to the post office have also been welcomed by four bas reliefs that flank the build- ing’s entrances. The granite carvings by sculptor Edmond R. Amateis, titled, “Mail Delivery—North, South, East, West,” were created in 1941 with funding from the Treasury Sec- tion of Fine Arts. Each relief features an American mail car- rier at work. To represent the North, Amateis carved a man wearing a hooded parka and a pair of Spitz-type dogs—likely Alaskan Huskies—pulling a sled. The sight of the man and his dogs must have seemed very exotic to Depression-era Phila- delphians. However, the figures were not entirely unfamiliar. On February 2, 1925, the headlines of every major American newspaper announced the arrival by dog sled of an antitoxin that saved the small town of Nome, Alaska, from an outbreak of diphtheria. Twenty mushers and 150 dogs traveled a total of 674 miles over five days in a relay race from the town of Nenena to Nome, an isolated outpost located just two degrees south of the Arctic Circle. The successful run made celebri- ties of the men and their dogs, none more so than Gunnar Kaasen and his lead dog, Balto. The pair even starred in a 30-minute film titled, Balto’s Race to Nome. So popular was the picture’s canine lead that a statue of his likeness was
erected in New York’s Central Park. A SCOTTISH IMMIGRANT
The origin of the United States Marine Corps and the Masonic teachings in America took place where Tun Tavern once stood at the intersection of King Street and Tun Alley. Though neither the tavern nor the street names remain today, the institutions that began in that long-gone meeting place

remain cherished institutions to generations of American families today. Another organization founded in the tavern was commemorated in 2011 when the St. Andrews Society of Philadelphia unveiled the National Scottish Immigrants’ Memorial Statue on a small patch of ground just steps away from the site of the old watering hole. Created by local sculptor Terry Jones, the bronze memorial consists of four larger–than–life figures representing a family of immigrants. The clan’s patriarch appears to stride confidently, staff in hand. His wife walks behind, carrying their infant child, as does his rifle-toting son in frontier garb. Nearby, several “standing stones” tell the story of the contributions the Scots have made to the development of a new nation. It is note- worthy that a Deerhound appears alongside the older man. The position of the hound acknowledges the high esteem with which the breed has been held since the 1st century AD. By the time of Scottish immigration to America, the Deerhound had become highly-regarded by poacher and nobleman alike. Many accompanied their masters across the Atlantic in search of a new home in the New World. As for Philadelphia’s bronze Deerhound, he enjoys nearly two acres and a nearby dog park where four-footed friends come to play. A ‘UTILITY’ GROUP Like many modern American cities, Philadelphia’s colonial era streets are bestrewed with utility boxes that efficiently deliver electricity even as they desecrate the landscape. To combat the blight, the Washington Square West Civic Association teamed up with the University of the Arts in a joint venture that’s turned street corner eyesores into free- standing objets d’art . Since 2011, the drab and inconvenient boxes in this historic area have been transformed through
the installation of colorful film wraps depicting everything from fantastic figures to inspirational messages. For dog lov- ers, the most memorable utility box is located at the corner of Ninth and Lombard Streets where several dozen pairs of eyes keep watch. The canine-inspired design is the work of artist Jackie Kloog. “I am definitely a dog person,” Jackie shares when asked about the inspiration for her piece. “I’ve had dogs my whole life and I’ve always considered them family,” Jackie says that many of the images that appear in her design were inspired by friends’ and family members’ dogs. Even her own dog makes an appearance. “Some of them were dogs I grew up with and, of course, Godzilla is on there.” Jackie notes that she wanted her design to include as many different breeds as she could fit while making it fun and interesting. Her design includes characters that are eas- ily identified as a Bloodhound, Bull Terrier, Beagle and Bos- ton Terrier. And just like those familiar purebreds, Jackie’s illustrations are playful too. The whimsy in her work is due in no small part to Jackie’s limited use of color. “I wanted the viewer to have fun searching through the different breeds, not by their typical coat color, but by my line- work,” she explains. The green dogs with their orange noses are a welcome addition to the concrete and asphalt that all but defines the intersection. “I wanted there to be a real- ly fun pop of color,” she says. “So, not only are the noses orange, but they were also sculpted out of Play-Doh and digi- tally added to the image.” Jackie’s wish for her monochro- matic menagerie is only that someone’s day may be bright- ened by her dogs. In the artist’s words, “With how crazy and busy life can be, it’s important to smile and enjoy the little things.” Thanks to Philadelphia’s collection of “pup”–lic art installations, the city’s dog lovers have plenty of reasons to smile.

New York, N.Y. – The AKC Museum of the Dog is pleased to announce that its newest exhibition The Dogs That Serve opens Wednesday, March 13 th on K9 Veterans Day. This photography-based exhibit will run until May 5 th , 2024. The Dogs That Serve tells the story of the NYPD Transit Bureau K9 Unit through the lens of photographer Margaret Foxmoore. The exhibit includes articles written by the unit's founding officers and those who currently serve, and explores moments with the officers and their K9 partners as they aim to keep New York City and the nation safer. “It is a great honor to pay tribute to our canine companions who serve and protect us through Margaret's tireless work in capturing images of the dogs and their handlers,” said Alan Fausel, Curator for the AKC Museum of the Dog. “Each of Foxmoore’s spectacular images captures the beauty, nuance and power of a unique human-canine bond,” said Christopher Bromson, the Museum’s Executive Director. “It is a privilege to display them here at the AKC Museum of the Dog, the only institution dedicated to celebrating that bond through its art and programs. We are grateful to those, canine and human alike, who keep our City and State safe.”
Additionally, The Dogs That Serve aims to honor Ret. Lieutenant Commanding Officer John Pappas, who retired this past fall after 27 years in the NYPD. He developed the Transit K9 Unit in 2005 and it has grown into the largest K9 team in the NYPD as well as the largest mass transit specific K9 unit in the Western Hemisphere. His K9, Palla, the highest-ranking dog in the history of the agency, will have her harness on display during the exhibition. “I sincerely hope that the exhibit may inspire coming generations to be K9 handlers, and to work together with their dogs to achieve great things,” said Pappas. “The bond between a pet and its family is strong, but the bond between a police K9 handler and his canine partner, is one of the strongest bonds between human and animal in existence. My partner and I will forever be inseparable.” Margaret Foxmoore is a self-taught artist who has been photographing the NYPD Transit Bureau K9 Unit for six years and is the Founder and Creative Director for “Dogs Outside The Ring.” Her photo book of the same name is in the Library of Congress. She has photographed dogs at the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show, Crufts, the National Dog Show, the AKC National Championship Dog Show, and more. Her goal is not to document the posed, champion show dog shot, but rather to capture the relationships between dog and handler, intimate moments in the grooming areas, and the stories that blossom in more candid moments. Her motto: aim with love to capture joy. “My objective with this collection of photos is to bring to light the heroism that these officers and their K9s put on display every day in this city and beyond and to humanize those behind the badge,” said Foxmoore. “This exhibit is truly not about me; it’s about them.” For more information on the exhibit or the AKC Museum of the Dog, please visit www.museumofthedog.org. # # # About the AKC Museum of the Dog Founded in 1982, The AKC Museum of the Dog is dedicated to the collection, preservation, exhibition, and interpretation of the art, artifacts, and literature of the dog for the purposes of education, historical perspective, aesthetic enjoyment and to enhance the appreciation for and knowledge of the significance of the dog and the human/canine relationship.

THE UNIQUE SOFT COATED WHEATEN TERRIER Factors that Distinguish the Soft Coated Wheaten from Other Terriers BY CINDY VOGELS, BREEDER EDUCATION CHAIR M any terrier breeds were developed simultaneously in the British Isles during the 19th century, making them quite homogeneous in phenotype. Honing in on the Irish ter- rier breeds, Soft Coated Wheatens, Kerry Blues, and Irish Terriers share many com- mon characteristics. For this reason, it’s imperative that breeders are keenly aware of the subtle differences between the breeds because those characteristics form the backbone of proper breed type.
Irish, Kerry Blue, and Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers share many similarities.
Soft Coated Wheatens and Kerry Blues are remarkably similar. Both are square in outline, upstanding, and similarly balanced. Consequently, it’s of utmost importance that the differences are maintained.
While there are many subtle differences, three primary differences between Soft Coated Wheatens and Kerrys are: • Ear set and carriage • Coat – color & presentation • Temperament Both Kerry Blues and Soft Coated Wheatens should have heads in balance with the rest of the dog. Skulls and muzzles are equal in length in both breeds. I believe that Kerry Blue Terrier heads appear
more refined than Soft Coated Wheatens’ due to differences in presentation rather than structure. Correct backskulls, muzzles, ear sets and carriage, proper eyes, and large, black noses, combined with proper coat and presentation, create proper SCWT expression. As a judge, I find proper heads are so rare that they appear out of place! SCWT breeders must start paying more attention to head characteristics.
THE UNIQUE SOFT COATED WHEATEN TERRIER
HEAD: Heads should appear rectangular from the front and the side. Skull and muzzle are equal in length. This relationship is easily measured by placing your middle finger on the occiput (bony perturbance on the top of the skull) and your thumb in the middle of the stop which should be at eye level. Then you can, just by looking, compare that distance with that from the stop to the end of the nose.
Depth of skull. (left) Correct depth of skull to make head rectangular. (right) Skull is too deep and coarse.
Head is rectangular from front and side.
The planes of the head should be parallel, controlled by the stop. It should be just deep enough to provide a step-up between the parallel planes. When there’s not enough stop, there is no brow protecting the eyes which appear to “pop” out of the head, gener- ally causing the backskull to fall away. The problem I see most often in Soft Coated Wheaten heads is too much stop, which also results in the backskull falling away. SKULL: The backskull and muzzle should be the same length and not too wide. An average-sized woman’s hand should be able to span the skull between the zygomatic arches. The Irish Terrier Breed Standard stipulates backskulls should be smooth, with- out bumps. While the SCWT Standard only states, “Skull flat and clean between ears,” it is implied there should be no lumps and bumps.
Skull and muzzle. (left) Correct strength and length of skull and muzzle without coarseness. Parallel planes. (right) Skull is too deep and coarse. Muzzle is too short. Planes are not parallel.
The muzzle does taper from the backskull but should fill an average woman’s hand, including a good, strong underjaw to hold large teeth.
• Backskulls should not be too deep. • Backskulls should not be too broad. • Muzzles should not be too short.
• Head planes should be parallel, divided by a moderate stop. EARS: Ear set, size, and carriage are distinguishing hallmarks of expression for Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers. The Soft Coated Wheaten Standard states: “Ears small to medium in size, breaking level with the skull and dropping slightly forward, the inside edge of the ear lying next to the cheek and pointing to the ground rather than to the eye.” With all due respect to the SCWT Breed Standard, there is general agreement among Soft Coated Wheaten breeders that ears appear to break level with the skull. Properly presented, there is short hair on top of Soft Coated Wheatens’ skulls, and short hair on the ear itself. There should be a straight line from ear to ear across the top of a SCWT’s topskull, including the short hair. Underneath the hair, proper SCWT ears break slightly above the level of the skull. If the ears broke level with the skull, they would resemble Sealyham ears. Soft Coated Wheaten ear sets are much improved of late, although low set, “houndy” ears are still occasionally seen.
Width of skull. The breadth of a Wheaten’s skull should be easily spanned by an average-sized woman’s hand. The lines shown are of equal length. The dog on the left is too broad in skull
THE UNIQUE SOFT COATED WHEATEN TERRIER
EYES: Because the eyes are (or should be) nearly obscured by head fall hair, they don’t usually affect expression. Nevertheless, breeders should be aware of their medium size, slightly almond shape, and fairly wide set. The Standard stipulates that eye rims are black. Dark “mascara” around the eyes is appealing, but not mandatory. However, washed out pigment can detract from proper expression. • Dark reddish brown or brown • Medium in size • Slightly almond-shaped • Set fairly wide apart • Eye rims black
Concerning size, the Standard states: “small to medium.” Ide- ally, the tip of the ear should not descend past the corner of the eye. Overly small, high-set ears are faulty, but are rarely seen. Unfortu- nately, today, most SCWT ears are too large.
Correct Eye
Ears appear to break level with the skull due to the hair on top of the head. They actually break slightly above the level of the skull. (left) Correct. (middle) Too low. (right) Too high.
(left) Too round. (middle) Lack of pigment. (right) Too close, too round.
It is the set, size, and carriage of the ears, com- bined with the proper head proportions, large black nose, and proper presenta- tion that adds up to typical SCWT expression.
Small to medium size. Ideally, ear tips should fall no lower than the corner of the eye. (left) Proper size. (middle) Too large. (rght) Too small.
Inside edge lying next to cheek. Pointing to ground rather than eye. (left) Correct. (right) Not lying next to cheek, pointing out.
The overriding problem seen in SCWT ears today is poor car- riage. The Standard is very clear: the inner edge should lie along the cheek and the tips should point down to the ground. There is a preponderance of ears that stand away from the cheek and point out to the sides rather than down. This is incorrect and totally spoils the unique SCWT expression. Note: In some cases, ear carriage can be greatly helped by prop- er gluing of puppy ears during teething. While this is a separate topic, breeders should always err on the side of gluing ears, even if it appears the ears are going to be ok. And, in my experience, all ears, with age, have a tendency to “drift away” from the skull. • Ears should not appear to break below or too far above the level of the skull. • Ears should not extend past the eye. • Ears should not point to the eye or out to the sides.

THE TWO COAT TYPES OF THE RUSSIAN TOY
BY JENNIFER GREBINOSKI
T he Russian Toy comes in two different coat types; however, the long coat type is more frequently seen in the United States. What some peo- ple may be surprised to know is that the smooth coat variety was the original coat of the Russian Toy. In the 18th century, the English Toy Terrier was popular among the Russian socialites, and by the 20th century the breed had grown considerably and they began to be referred to as the Russian Toy Terrier. Numbers decreased significantly between 1920 and 1950, but Russian breeders then started reviving the breed. In 1958, two smooth coat parents with slightly longer coats gave birth to a long coat dog, and the Russians decided to keep this variety and began breeding for it as well. The long coat variety was originally known as the Moscow Long Hair Toy Terrier, but in the 1980s the breeds were merged and became the Russian Toy which comes in the two coats that we see today.
SMOOTH AND LONG: THE TWO COAT TYPES OF THE RUSSIAN TOY
“Essentially, if you shaved a long coat Russian Toy and placed it next to a smooth coat dog, you should be looking at the same silhouette.”
on the ears or have curly hair. In the FCI standard (coun- try of origin), there are three additional disqualifications that are mentioned, which are semi-pricked ears in smooth coat dogs, drop ears in long coat dogs, and on smooth coat dogs numerous bald patches (more than 25%) or very soft, tousled, loose body hair with pronounced feath- ering. A trimmed coat on either variety is also a DQ in the FCI standard, and this item as well as the others are described in the AKC standard but are not stated explicitly in the DQ section. There are two additional coat-related items that are described outside of the coat section of the standard, and the first is that semi-pricked ears are per- missible on long-haired dogs with heavy fringe (but are not desirable). While the AKC standard does not spe- cifically discuss the smooth coat ears, the FCI does state that soft ears in a smooth coat is a fault as well. The sec- ond item is called out in the color section, and faults the presence of bald patches in smooth coat dogs and too
The structure of both coat varieties should be the same as described in the standard for the Russian Toy, with these key proportions: the length of the body should be equal to the height at the withers; the height at the elbow is only slightly more than half the height at the withers; and the length of the muzzle is shorter than the length of the skull. Essentially, if you shaved a long coat Russian Toy and placed it next to a smooth coat dog, you should be looking at the same silhouette. While some people have described a difference in temperament between the two coats, this is not found in the standard or my personal experience. Smooth coats and long coats fall along the spectrum of temperament for the Russian Toy and there is not a difference between the coats when you consider the breed as a whole instead of just individuals. All Russian Toys should have the same active, cheerful, intelligent temperament without being cowardly or aggressive. The difference described in the AKC standard is all about the coat of the dogs and a few items which are affected by the coat. There is only one disqualification that is coat-specific in the AKC standard, and this involves the ears; where long coat dogs cannot have the absence of fringe
SMOOTH AND LONG: THE TWO COAT TYPES OF THE RUSSIAN TOY
long or short hair on the body of long coat dogs. So, when viewing a mixed-coat group of Russian Toys, it is most important to be aware of what the correct coat is for each variety—and beyond that they can be judged together. The smooth coat dogs should have short, close lying, shiny hair without bald patches or undercoat. The correct coat is similar to the coat of the Toy Manchester Terrier or the Min Pin, and is different than the Chihuahua coat which is usually thicker on smooth coat dogs. The simple beauty of the smooth coat variety allows a good view of the dog’s structure and muscle, and makes it very easy to see any faults. The coat does not require any lengthy grooming or trimming (though trimming is also not allowed on the long either) and does not need to be blown dry after bathing. The smooth coat can be more suscepti- ble to cold and tends to be more interested in wearing a sweater or remaining inside during the winter. Over- all, it is a very easy coat to care for and is an option for an owner who wants a low maintenance coat. The long coat is described in more detail in the standard and starts with stating that the body hair should be moderately long (one to three inches) and straight or slightly wavy. The body hair should be close lying and not hide the natural outline of the body, so one should still be able to assess the struc- ture and proportions of the dog. The hair on the head and front part of the limbs is close lying, while there are feathers on the back of the limbs and the feet have long, silky hair that completely covers the nails. This describes a coat with distinct long and shorter, smooth portions where the outline of the body is visible and the body hair is not tousled but rather close lying. Finally, the standard describes the ears which are to be covered with long, thick hair forming a fringe and should be long enough to com- pletely hide the outer edge and tips of the ears by the time the dog is three years old. While it is not specifi- cally mentioned in the AKC standard, the tail should also have distinct feathering on the long coat dog. While the long coat Russian Toy does require more grooming than the smooth coat, it is still a more low maintenance coat and trimming should not be nec- essary (and is a DQ in the FCI standard). These dogs will require drying time after a bath, unlike their smooth counterparts, and I have observed that they are more tolerant of cool temperatures. Personally, I own dogs of both coat varieties and have trained and shown both coats. I enjoy the flow- ing ear and tail fringe on my long coats, but it is also nice to not have the worry about tangles on the smooth coats, as Russian Toys are quite active little dogs. I enjoy the shiny coat of the smooth variety and how well it shows off the square silhouette of the breed. I do look forward to seeing more smooth coat Russian Toys in the show ring and hope that the coat varieties will become more equally shown in the United States. Above all, I enjoy the companionship and intelligence of the breed and the fact that they are good partners in the conformation ring, perfor- mance sports, or even just as a pet at home.
