Hall Of FameThe American Spaniel Club first inducted members into its Hall of Fame in 1995 when current members nominated candidates to the Hall of Fame in four different categories. In 1999, those categories were simplified to just two: Service to the Organization and Contribution to the Breed.
It is the purpose of the Hall of Fame to capture for succeeding generations the memory of the extraordinary and not the ordinary.
Hall of Fame Inductees for 2010: Hugh and Marilyn Spacht, Harriet Kamps
Hugh and Marilyn Spacht
Hugh and Marilyn Spacht bred cocker spaniels under the “Hu-Mar” prefix for many years. They joined the American Spaniel Club in 1974 and, since that time, they have actively participated in Club functions on an ongoing basis with one or the other serving on the Board for almost half the time they have been members.
Harriet Kamps
Harriet has been breeding and showing quality Cocker Spaniels since 1956. (Note:) Harriet joined the ASC in 1963 and to this date there has been 199 documented champion cocker spaniels to carry the Kamps prefix. (www.cockers-online)
The dogs that she has bred have had a huge impact on our ASCOB and Parti-color lines and are still present in the pedigrees of many top breeding programs today. BIS Ch. Kamps’ Kaptain Kool, the top producing bitch, Ch. Kamps’ Kountry Kiss and Ch. Kamps’ Silversmith are just a few of the very well-known dogs that reflect the style, type and conformation that we covet for the show ring.
