The 2010 Summit for Urban Animal Strategies Presents:
The 2010 Summit for Urban Animal Strategies Presents:
The 4th Annual Summit Awards Gala
Featuring Entertainer Dale Downing and
Master of Ceremonies Andrew Patton, Canadian Kennel Club
The Summit Awards are in celebration of those who have achieved the recognition of their peers for proficiency or achievement in the care of pets and people in communities across Canada. The event will be held on Friday, 15 October 2010 at the beautiful Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise, Alberta.
This year's Entertainer, Dale Downing brings us comedy, illusions and crowd pleasing magic in a performance that has made him famous in a career spanning four continents and 30 years. His inspired performances have earned standing ovations, repeat engagements, awards from his peers and a place along side the country's outstanding entertainers.
Back by popular demand our Master of Ceremonies is the engaging and ever enthusiastic Andrew C. Patton, from the Canadian Kennel Club.
Andrew sees great opportunity for the companion animal industry in "big-picture collaboration, allowing us the prospect of touching every pet in Canada and engaging and offering value to the pet families with whom they live."
Andrew aspires to be the person the dogs in his life think he is and enjoys misquoting one of Napoleon’s generals: “We can either love cats or understand them, but never both.”

2010 Summit Speaker Synopsis Part X
The International Summit for Urban Animal Strategies Presents:
Homing Practices Amongst Canadian Canine Breeders
Presenter: Lee Steeves, Canadian Kennel Club
In this thought-provoking and fact-filled presentation Lee Steeves will provide an in-depth look at the demographics of Canadian Kennel Club dog breeders. She will examine some of the basic characteristics of dog breeders and what makes them unique. Further discussion about the CKC's Code of Ethics and Breeder Code of Practice will shed light onto this important but often misunderstood segment of the companion animal industry.
Steeves will also delve into some of the 'Why's and How's' of the CKC's Breeder Focus: what steps are being taken to ensure breed improvement; breeder and public education; and some of the challenges faced into today's environment.
Looking to the future of the CKC and dog breeders, Steeves will discuss topics such as market share, media focus, validation of breeding stock and the supply/demand chain.

Summit Speaker Synopsis Part V
The International Summit for Urban Animal Strategies Presents:
2010 Canadian Breeder Survey
Presenter: Joe Mauro, Canadian Kennel Club
2010 Canadian Breeder Survey
Presenter: Joe Mauro, Canadian Kennel Club
In March of 2010 the Canadian Kennel Club (CKC) conducted an in-house survey of its breeder community. 2009 ended with a significant drop in dog registrations and CKC wanted to find out why.
The survey centred on breeders with registered dogs in 2008 who saw a drop in the number of dogs registered with CKC in 2009. It examined breeder attitudes and perceptions to the factors affecting their breeding programs.

Announcing the 2010 National Urban Animal Survey
As many of you know, PetLynx Corporation established the National Urban Animal Survey (NUAS) in 2007 to fill the void we perceived for an evidence-based approach to decision making in the companion animal industry. In 2010, we are once again moving to change the paradigm for information and intelligence in this industry.
PetLynx is pleased to announce that Socialstruct Advisory Group has been contracted to assist us to develop the next generation of Market Services and Intelligence tools for this industry. Using the largest pool of subscribers and working with our industry partners we will prepare a National Urban Animal Report each November.

GENERAL SPONSORS:
The collaborators play an important role in their region bringing new delegates to the events while fostering collaboration in their communities. We would like to thank the Edmonton Animal Services, BC SPCA, OVMA, Ontario SPCA, Calgary Humane Society, and the Moncton SPCA.
We thank the sponsors and collaborators for sharing the vision of the Summits. Without their support these events would not be possible. Feel free to speak with a sponsor or collaborator regarding their reasons for participating in the Regional Summits.
This year's agenda is packed with high quality speakers and industry metrics never seen before. We also have an exciting game that involves a door prize for each event - a microchip scanner from Destron Fearing. Unfortunately we are limiting the number of delegates to 60 per event.
Register today to avoid disappointment.

The Countdown to the Summit is on!
The 4th Annual National Summit for Urban Animal Strategies is now just four weeks away! In addition to orchestrating an outstanding roster of speakers, your PetLynx Corporation team has been busy organizing all the fine details -- from meal selections to transportation to entertainment.
