    A Tribute To Chris Lehneis 1944 - 2023

    I knew of Chris for many years at the Maryland Beagle Club. He was part of a group of veteran beaglers and he was among the best. As time passed, many of Chris’s close buddies departed to that big beagle club in the sky. Loving the sport myself, I often ran into Chris out training on the club grounds. He was a big help to Paul Davis who was confined to a golf cart. Chris and Paul would invite me along to analyze new pups and talk sports and politics. We would actually run pups in the puppy pen so that Paul could watch from his wheelchair.  Jerre Houck would join us to further analyze dogs and give us his opinion on the latest current events. I enjoyed our time at the club and became good friends with all of them and I learned quite a bit from their gathered experience.

    Timber Grove Libby and Timber Grove Roxie were Chris’s favorite hounds. These were two Frenchie bitches out of Walk-A-Line Roxie. Both bitches finished easily and were successful in the federations as well. Timber Grove Diamond, who was sired by close friend Glenn Hilbert’s Dixie Dutchman, was another favorite that actually won the Pennsylvania Winners Stake 3 years in a row! Chris was also the breeder of Timber Grove Diesel that turned out to be a decent producer with offspring like Amity Hill Stoney, National Champion Bun-E-Patch Cummings, Timber Grove Dianne and my favorite Awesome Run Makita.

    Chris was a dedicated breeder. He was so focused on making sure that every pup lived, he often slept on a cot in his kennel so that he would be aware of any situations while a bitch was in whelp. He always said that a lost pup could have been the best one. Through his perseverance, he made it into the Breeders Hall Of Fame.

    Chris was a respected judge in all aspects of the sport. In his younger years, he was often called upon to judge but he eventually started to turn down the offers so that he could participate in the competition. I heard about a trial that Chris and his good friend Gerre Houck judged together. But, apparently the participants at this trial didn’t get the word. Chris and Jerre found themselves getting tongue lashings after each class they judged! Chris turned toward Jerre and said “Well how do you like judging with me now?”.  They both had a good laugh and continued to be great friends until the end. In my opinion, Chris and Jerre were true judging veterans.

    Many times, we sat on the back porch of the club telling stories and pointing out highlights of our beagling careers. It’s amazing how many times we heard the same stories over again but we enjoyed hearing them again. Chris would often say that he would drive 5 hours to Cory in the wee hours of the morning to run in a major event. Then, drive all the way home, jump into bed then get up to go to work the next day! That’s how dedicated he was! We often would put a friend like Dale Pliscott or Bob Hartman on the speaker phone when we had a hard time trying to think of a beagler’s name or the name of a dog.

    Chris reluctantly took the position of field trial secretary as a favor to me. Like many clubs, the number of able bodied members was declining. I knew that he would much rather be sitting at the tables shooting the breeze with everyone. But he still did an outstanding job. In fact, it was his idea to get the field trial software that Richard Baumann had written. Chris loved it because he no longer needed to do data entry on the AKC forms.

    Over the years, Chris faced some health issues that he was able to overcome. Unfortunately, one of those issues resurfaced with no hope of resolution.

    Chris was able to see his derby, Timber Grove Bella, run via a cell phone video at the Derby Rodeo at Delsea and hear the positive comments from the participants, which brought a smile to his face. Additionally, Chris was able to participate in phone conversations with Ray Alexander and Jerre Houck.

    I would like to thank Ray, Jerre and others for sharing their memories of Chris.

    I will miss our times together in the field with our hounds talking about dogs, football, politics and any other topic that came to the surface. Chris, I hope you are able to run Libby and Roxie where you are now.

    Coraopolis members at work getting ready for the I.B.F. trapping rabbits

      received this in an email

         Hello, I'm Meadow, I'm messaging because my stepdad had gotten a beagle from one of your breeders around 2018 because she needed a home, she was Woodlake Sweetpea, her parents are/were Tilley's Little Timmy and Woodlake Sweetheart, whoever it was gave her to my stepdad and she lived a beautiful life with me. I unfortunately have to be the barer of bad news and let you guys know she passed away January 20th of 2025. Me and my mother found out she had cancer very suddenly and it was too late to save her, it was very tragic. But I found this email through her papers, I just felt like I needed to let you guys know. If any of her relatives are around let them know that I love them. God bless you guys, thank you and have a great day

      This email was originally sent on 6/30/2025 but may not have reached all recipients due to a system error. If you have already received this email, or if you have completed the training below, please feel free to disregard. Thank you.

      Dear Field Trial/Hunt Test Judge,

      In April 2024, the AKC Board of Directors adopted the AKC Educational Requirements Policy and Recommendations as an additional step in creating a safe and respectful sports environment for all. This policy requires all AKC-approved judges to successfully complete the Stewards of Children® training from the non-profit organization, Darkness to Light. Recently, the AKC Board of Directors voted to remove the requirement for judges to complete this training every three years. This means, judges will only be required to complete this training one time.

      The purpose of the Stewards of Children® training program is to raise awareness about child abuse prevention. Within our canine-oriented community, it is intended to empower our judges to recognize signs of abuse while also promoting a protective atmosphere for children and families involved in dog-related events.

      We ask that you complete this training by September 30, 2025 which is three months from the date of this letter.  Judging assignments after this date will be temporarily pended until the training is completed.

      A custom self-registration has been created for you. To access this training, please go here. There is a user guide to help you create a user account and take this training. To access the user guide, please click here. The URL to access the training is unique, so neither it nor the user guide should be forwarded or shared with others. It is not necessary to finish the training in one sitting. For convenience, this training can be completed at your own pace where you can start and stop as needed until you finish.

      AKC will be notified automatically by Darkness to Light once you have completed the training. To ensure your completion is properly recorded, please include your judge number in the applicable field when registering, and list your name EXACTLY how it is listed in the AKC Searchable Judges Directory.

      This program is also widely utilized by educators and professionals across various fields. If you have completed the training within the past year, please submit a copy of your certificate so we can update your judge record accordingly.

      In addition, we do recognize there are individuals whose personal experiences may make it difficult or impossible to complete this course or some individuals may have technological obstacles. 

      If you are unable to complete the training due to personal history, you may complete alternative training: Protecting Children Through Active Bystanding from Darkness to Light. This training will provide the key points to align with AKC’s Educational Requirements Policy and Recommendations and does not use survivor interviews but instead has content that is focused on skill building.

      If this requirement presents technical challenges, through the assistance of Darkness to Light, we are offering alternative webinar sessions where you can complete this training through a facilitator-led web session.

      If you are interested in pursuing any of these alternatives, have questions or believe you have received this in error, please contact judgecompliance@akc.org.

      Sincerely,

      Chelsea Horton
