Welcome New Members!
Pamela Glave & Karen Hand
TSCA Membership Chair
will keep us informed over the next few months. Start now planning your
trip to the panhandle.
Please extend a warm welcome to our new officers and board members –
Jean Briggs, Dianne Tyree, Karen Shilladay, Donna Etchison and Christine
Whitehead. Also take a minute to look at the committees we have – we
always need volunteers for many things so please contact any board
member if you have thoughts, comments, complaints, OR would like to
volunteer!
The fall board meeting will be held at the end of September during the
Wine Country show circuit in Romulus, NY. This weekend includes the Finger Lakes Tibetan Spaniel Specialty, a TSCA Supported entry and lots of fun
for everyone. The timing is perfect – halfway between the 2012 and 2013
Nationals. If you have anything you would like your board to discuss,
please ask Connie Buckland to put it on the agenda. We have several
items that need completion and they are high on our list of things to finalize. The TSCA Constitution and By-Laws are now being completed by Dianne Tyree and Alan Reznik. We need a volunteer to step up and take
over the updating of the Standing Rules – the ones we have are several
years out of date (come on now, don’t be shy – we need your help). Several others items are also under discussion.
Our committees are moving forward nicely. Rescue, headed up by Mallory and Martha, has been working with the Trust and several tibbies have
been adopted. Thank you. Andi Struble took over Breeder Referral from
Pat Silberman and has added her own touch to it. Don’t forget to keep
her informed of your litters as well as adults to be placed. Mary Novocin
is ready to get the newsletters out on schedule – I can’t wait to see her
style of publication. Contact Mary with ads, articles and information. To
the other committees – keep up the great work you do.
Please feel free to contact me with any concerns regarding TSCA. My job
keeps me on the road most weeks and I may not be able to read email every day but I do try.
My best regards,
Bill

Q
&
With Herb Rosen
A
Bet’R Kennel
1. When and where did you get first
Tibetan Spaniel?
Betty was the driving force when it
came to the Tibbies. She and I traveled to
England to visit several well know breeders.
Our first visit was with Linda Micklethwait and
CH. Calamalca Cassidy
her lovely thatched roof English home to see
her kennel “Wildhern,” this was only the beginning.
First AKC Champion
She took us to several other famous Tibbie breeders
Tibetan Spaniel
to see what years of quality breeding had produced.
We knew that we had to bring these lovely Tibetan Spaniel puppies back to America.
On our next visit to the UK, Linda introduced us to Mrs. Wynyard of the Braeduke
Kennels, Miss Hourihane of Amscor/Amcross Kennels, and Mrs. McCartney of the
Fairstar Kennels. These were names that formed our foundation stock from the
United Kingdom.
AM, CAN., GB. CH.
Amscor Solo Man, ROM
BOB Westminster KC
1986 & 1987
In 1974 we brought our first imports starting with a beautiful black and tan bitch we
named “Wildhern Winni Tu”, and then later we brought over “Fairstar Cho-Sun” and
then “Wildhern Full of Fire.” We imported eight dogs all together from England to form
our Bet’R Kennel.
2. What were some of your highlights in those earlier years after the
breed was accepted by the AKC?
Calamalca Cassidy became the first AKC Champion Tibetan Spaniel in 1984. Ch. Amscor Solo Man, ROM won BOB at Westminster Kennel Club in 1986 and 1987 and later
was an all-breed group winner. Ch. Wildhern Full of Fire won BOB at Westminster Kennel Club as well.
AM., CAN., BER. Ch. Fairstar Cho-Sun was the first Tibetan Spaniel International Champion and was the first Tibetan Spaniel to win BOB at Westminster Kennel Club in 1984.
Both Ch. Fairstar Cho-Sun and Ch. Wildhern Full of Fire were very influential sires in the
80’s and 90’s. Ch. Wildhern Full of Fire produced Best in Show winner Ch. Krisala Petite
Gourmet as well as having over 20 champion offspring.
3. What qualities in the breed were you
looking for when you went to England?
CH. Wildhern Full of Fire
Sired over 20 champions
We went to England looking for coat, head quality
(such as bite, etc.), nice turn of stifles and good top
lines.
4. What other breeds were/are you involved with?
AM, CAN, BER.,
CH. Fairstar Cho-Sun
First International Champion
BOB at Westminster KC 1984
We started with the Lhaso Apso breed, that is why we named our street Lhasa Lane.
When backyard breeders made the breed mean we moved on to Whippets and saving
ex-racing Greyhounds.
Betty started the local chapter of Greyhound Pets of America. The organization is still
active and saves hundreds of dogs that otherwise would be put down.
I liked the Min Pins and finished many from our breeding, but Betty did not like what we had to do to make their ears
stand up. They would cry and that was enough for her and we turned to the sweet Tibbies.
Today, I am still living and loving the Tibbies, with a litter now and then. It has been my desire to always have
at least five in our home to enjoy.

There were two dogs in California who were placed in rescue as their owner was ill. Shortly after taking the dog,
the lady passed away. Rescue was unable to trace the ownership of these two dogs. The male was placed quickly
and the blind female was placed with a TSCA member. A ten year old dog was taken to a vet to be put down, the
vet wouldn’t do it. The breeder was located, but knew nothing of the situation and took the dog back. Another dog
is being sent to Mallory and possible home. There was also a dog in Roanoke with kennel cough, boarded at a kennel.
A club member stepped up and took the dog. A Tibbie was found in Ohio, the trust filled and returned all the paperwork to have the dog released to a club member, but nothing came of it.

membership vote soon.
7
Update Standing Rules – tabled
Specialty Guidelines (Colleen Chaffee) – New copies handed out. The board made some minor changes and once
made, a final copy will be sent to the board for approval. This has been a huge project and hopefully, these guidelines will be extremely helpful to future show chairs. Some discussion was done on the possible changes to some of
the drawings in the Illustrated Standard since we have had an update to the breed standard. There are only approx. 150 Illustrated Standards left, and we will have to have more printed. Colleen Chaffee is to meet with Linda
Foiles on the updates to the Illustrated Standard. This will reviewed again in the fall.
Some discussion was done on the possibilities of updating the judge’s selection process. We need to check with
other clubs with memberships similar to ours as to how they do the judge selection for their specialties. Any ideas
for suggestion will be greatly appreciated
It was also discussed that photos of the specialty trophies not be posted before the specialty.
The following were elected into membership in the TSCA pending publication in the TSCA Newsletter: Kitty Burke
& Kathy Gertler, James & Deborah Bush, Petti Marjomaa & Journi Seppanen, and Helen Richards.
Motion to adjourn was made by Bill Chaffee – second by Robert Churchey—passed

Judges Education Report – May 2012
Seminars presented since Oct. 2011 –
Presenters:
Mallory Driskill & Linda Foiles – Greenville, SC
Linda Foiles – Kansas City, MO.
An exhibitor and newcomer to Tibbies, at the show, was nice enough to allow the judge attendees to go over her
dogs. She had 6 Tibbies. Because she was so gracious to allow the use of her dogs; I sent her an Illustrated Standard.
I was contacted by the AKC, Tim Thomas, to send a complete Judges Education packet because the Japanese Kennel Club has adopted all AKC breed standards. The AKC wanted all judge’s packets to send for translation to that
JKC for educational purposes.
Judges Education was contacted by FLTSA to send Illustrated Standards to the 2 sweepstakes judges that are
judging sweeps this fall. The standards have been sent and received. FLTSA has offered to pay the mailing postage. I would like to be reimbursed for the roughly $6.00 it took to purchase mailing envelopes and pay postage.

The Board has previously approved a Judges Seminar to be held in Texas January 2013. The seminar will be held in
conjunction with the Non-Sporting Group in Texas. I will work with club members in Tx. to supply dogs for the seminar.
We currently have about 150 copies left of the

Way and Means Report
There are a couple of items I’ve looked into for Ways and Means, but can’t move forward without a logo. Our current logo has a few issues. First, we don’t know who holds the copyright to it, second no one can seem to locate the
original, it doesn’t reproduce well and the name of the organization is missing.
I would like to get some estimates from canine artists for a new logo design. One that TSCA holds the copyright to
as well as original art work. Once we have that we that completed we can move forward with TSCA Ways and Means
items. Umbrellas, car ornaments (a metal or plastic logo that is affixed to the grill of your auto) and the jackets
that were previously discussed.
Dianne Tyree
2013 Specialty
The Florida Specialty is on track. Sharon Paytner, Mallory and Becky Johnson have all returned their signed contracts and I have hired Barbara Alderman and Jean Fournier for the supported entries. I have also finalized the
Show Secretary contract and identified trophies. We will be offering members an opportunity to sponsor trophies
and plan to launch a website after the 2012 Specialty. We are exploring the possibility of offering the new AKC
Coursing Ability Test to afford our members the opportunity to earn this new AKC Title. If there is an interest we
may be able to offer seminars on the genetics of coat Colorado or new advances in canine oncology being developed
in Florida. We are all looking forward to 2013 and hope the membership is as well.
Health Committee Report – Spring 2012
Wish I could be in Tulsa to give this report in person.
In August I was able to attend the Purina/CHF/Parent Club Health Conference in St Louis. This was my 4th conference and the information is enlightening and it is wonderful to be able to network with so many dog lovers who are
passionate about keeping our chosen breeds healthy! Short excerpts from the conference are being produced on
Genome Barks, I forward them to the TSCA list as they become available and hope that you are able to listen to
them.
Let me start with a couple of reminders.
1.
Tibbies are eligible for CHIC. They need Patella and CERF exams. To date there are 69 Tibbies in the
CHIC database, up from 33 last year at this time! This is a great tool to research the health of dogs
and their pedigrees for breeding purposes, as well as for people researching the breed for purchasing.
10
2. This year I set up a Tibetan Spaniel Health Survey on the OFA website. http://www.offa.org/surveys/
survey_tibetanspaniel.html It is a totally anonymous survey. So far we have had 280 responses. The
survey is still up and I would encourage people to go to the survey ad fill it in, it is relatively simple to
use, you do one dog at a time and do not have to do all of your dogs in one sitting!
3. Please continue to send any Health clearances to me. They will be published in the end of year Newsletter.
I have checked the current results of the Survey and am happy to report that it appears that Tibbies continue to
be a very healthy, hardy little dog and do not have any glaring health issues. This is a tribute to the concerned
breeders/members of TSCA! Thank you all for caring enough to breed the very best!
Dr Sharon Center is continuing her liver shunt research – following is the full report after 3 ½ years of research.
If anyone would like me to send this report to them directly just let me know! ( Full copy at the end of this report.)
I will continue to try to answer questions about health issues or put you in touch with people who can answer your
questions.
Thanks again for allowing me to be the Health Committee chairman.
Sincerely,
Carol Srnka

the confidential scientific report submitted by the investigator by contacting the CHF office. The
below Report to Grant Sponsors from Investigator can be used in communications with your club
members.)
Original Project Description:
Background: Portosystemic vascular anomalies (PSVA) and microvascular dysplasia (MVD) are
related genetic disorders causing malformation of the liver circulation. This trait affects a number
of small pure breed dogs, causing high serum bile acid values (SBA) and has a prevalence
ranging from 30% to 80% in various breeds and related dogs.
Objective: The goal is to identify a genetic marker for PSVA/MVD that will allow development
of a genetic test. Extensive pedigree studies support an autosomal dominant but incompletely
penetrant mode of transmission, explaining the dismal success of attempted trait elimination
based on SBA. It is important to eliminate this trait because affected dogs cause owner
dissatisfaction, financial burden, and negative breed publicity, in addition to patient suffering.
The researchers have discovered significant linkage between the PSVA/MVD trait and genetic
markers on one chromosome in a large family of Tibetan Spaniels. Findings have been
confirmed with flanking markers and demonstration of similar linkage in Cairn Terriers, Maltese,
and Havanese. The researchers will pursue further genetic mapping (microsatellites, SNPs) of the
PSVA/MVD trait in these and additional breeds, and undertake association mapping using DNA
banked from unrelated pure breed dogs with PSVA (n=70). Candidate genes associated with
abnormal vascular development in humans will be explored.
11
MS mapping efforts. We are further interrogating these regions in additional dogs (of these
breeds) and thereafter in other breeds using restriction fragment PCR studies. These regions
suggest real potential for developing a genetic test for PSVA/MVD prediction.
Work in this project has importantly excluded a number of candidate genes and transcription
factors on the mapped chromosome. Strongest SNP signals are located > 20 Mb downstream of
our best MS LOD scores that served as the initial start-point of fine mapping. These signals also
are downstream of the initially fine mapped area (Illumina GoldenGate Custom Array). Genomewide
SNP mapping also completed on dogs involved in this study (GWA SNP supported by
another agency) also has permitted identification of potential candidate genes interactive with the
haplotype gene region identified on the chromosome mapped herein. Our custom Sequence
Capture array has been completed on 2 PSVA and 2 controls and is underway in an additional 3
PSVA affected and 1 control dog of the Cairn Terrier and Yorkshire Terrier breeds; (disease
prevalence in these breeds ~32% and ~65-80%, respectively). The Sequence Capture Array
findings are being validated by PCR and sequencing of discovered variants in a larger number of
dogs. The Sequence Capture array was designed using information derived from mapping work

2012 TSCA Performance Report
There continues to be a small but very dedicated group of TSCA members who participate in a wide variety of performance venues with their Tibetan Spaniels. In order of popularity for Tibbies these venues include: Therapy
work, Agility, Rally Obedience, Obedience and even Tracking. Other (non AKC) performance venues that we have
report of Tibbies trying and enjoying include: Musical Freestyle, Heelwork to Music, Tre-Ball, Flyball, and K9 Nose
work. This year, at the banquet , we will be awarding the High Score in Obedience and Number 1 Agility Tibbie
awards along with new Versatility awards. We send heartfelt congratulations to all TSCA members who participate
in these venues and have the “courage” to enter the competition ring with their Tibbie partner.

New TSCA Breeder Referral Contact Person
Hello TSCA Members,
After 10 years as TSCA’s Breeder Referral chair, Pat Silberman has stepped down. Thank you, Pat, for a
decade of volunteer service!
I am writing to introduce myself as the new contact for Breeder Referral. Over the dozen years I’ve been
privileged to be owned by Tibbies (I have four), I’ve met many of you at dog shows, Tournaments of Tibbies &
other Tibbie-related events, mostly in the East Coast/Mid-Atlantic region. I live in Pennsylvania, not far from
Gettysburg.
Pat lives in my neck of the woods and we worked together to complete the transition. The 2012 Breeder
Directory, as well as the application for inclusion in the 2013 Directory, are both available on the TSCA website
on the Breeder Directory page. (www.tsca.ws)
How does Breeder Referral work?
The annual TSCA Breeder Directory contains the names, locations and contact information of those breeders
who sign up for it ($15 fee). This fee also includes unlimited listings in the Breeder Referral database of available Tibbies throughout the year.
However, any TSCA breeder may list available Tibbies in the referral database at any time for a fee of $5 per
litter, and/or $5 per individual adult.
While the Directory is available on the TSCA website and therefore accessible to the public, the database of
available Tibbies is not published.
When I receive an enquiry from a potential new owner, I refer them to all breeders in the database who have
an available Tibbie that could possibly “fill the bill” for them, based on what the person is searching for (age,
gender, geographical location, willingness to travel, shipping options, etc.).
At press time, there are 39 available Tibbies in the referral database, from puppies to adults, both pets and
show prospects. Since March, I have received 10 enquiries from potential Tibbie owners in California, Massachusetts, Missouri, Florida, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and New York.
I provided referrals to 13 different breeders, some more than once (total of 31 referrals). Each time I give
breeder information to a potential new owner, I send an email to the breeder(s) to alert them about the possible
ensuing enquiry. Then, each breeder will use whatever procedure they normally follow to screen buyers and
assure a good home for their Tibbies.
The fall newsletter will include an application for the 2013 Directory. The deadline for that is mid-November,
but applications (available online now) may be sent in at any time.
I hope this all makes sense! Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or to add your available
Tibbies to the Breeder Referral list. I will also be happy to send a 2013 Directory application or current Breeder
Directory by snail mail.

The annual meeting of the Tibetan Spaniel Club of America, Inc. was called to order by President Mallory Driskill at
8:05 p.m., May 25, 2012, at the Park Inn, Tulsa, OK
The minutes of the last annual meeting were read by Recording Secretary. A motion was made by Robert Churchey
to accept the minutes. A second was made by Susan Mullins. Motion Passed.

(Mallory Driskill) – Mallory Driskill wanted to THANK the membership for all their help and support
throughout all the years that she has served on the TSCA Board. Everything has been greatly appreciated.
(Bill Chaffee) – Bill Chaffee wanted to thank Mallory Driskill for all her years of service as well
as those Board members who are also stepping down. All their work for the breed has been truly appreciated. He
also wanted to give a BIG thank you to Donna Etchison for everything she has done for this specialty despite all
the problems.
(Susan Mullins) – Susan Mullins reports that AKC is always sending updates. Anything that needs to get to the membership will be posted on the TSCA E-group, TSCA website (www.tsca.ws), on in
the TSCA Newsletter. If you have any questions regarding any TSCA information please contact Susan Mullins.
(Connie Buckland) – Connie Buckland reports that the final ballot for the 2014 Specialty
judge has been sent out to the membership with a deadline of June 15, 2012. Also, since no one ran for the board
from the floor, she has cast the ballot electing the slate of officers which take effect on June 1, 2012. They are
President: Bill Chaffee, Vice President, Jean Briggs, Corresponding Secretary, Susan Mullin, Recording Secretary,
Connie Buckland, Treasurer, Dianne Tyree, Board Members, Donna Etchison, Karen Shilliday, Christine Whitehead.
Current board members are Martha Feltenstein and Robert Churchey.
(Kay Dickeson) – See attached report
(Donna Etchison) – Donna Etchison thanks everyone for coming to Tulsa and supporting the specialty. Despite the various problems, everyone is having a good time. The clothing order is “missing in action” via UPS.
She will keep everyone up to date on the progress on when and where they are. The mistake that was made with
the ribbons was made by Onofrio, which they will correct and get it taken care of.
(Karen Williams) – See attached report

(Susan Hope) – Susan Hope reported that of the top 5 Tibbie Juniors, 2 of them attending the Eukanuba show in Florida in December. She is also in the process of revamping the guidelines for the Junior program. AKC also has a new way of reporting Juniors ranking. This should help in keeping track.

club.
(Martha Feltenstein & Mallory Driskill) – Mallory Driskill reports that rescue is working with the Trust
in regards to several recent rescues (see minutes of the May 22, 2012 Board meeting for specifics). Mallory
Driskill would like to see more of the membership step up to the plate to help out. Rescue can only succeed with
the help of everyone.
(Cindy Swaim) – The ROM and ROMX certificates will be awarded at the annual banquet on Saturday evening. Cindy Swaim would also like to see the ROM and ROMX application be placed on the TSCA website so that it will be easier for people to get the information to her.
(Ruth Davis) – See attached report
(Carol Srnka) See attached report
(Mary Novocin) – The specialty issue will be the first issue as the editor. Mary Novocin has many
ideas for articles etc. Let’s support Mary Novocin with the Newsletter by sending articles, ads etc. If you
would like more information, please contact Mary Novocin at [email protected]
(Karen Shilliday) – See attached report
(Dianne Tyree) – See attached report
(Herb Rosen) – See attached report
The Constitution and By/Laws are still being worked on. A new committee consisting of Dianne Tyree, chairperson, Allan Reznik and Connie Buckland will be working on them and hopefully have the ready for a membership
vote soon.
The Standing Rules are also in need of updating. If anyone is interested in taking on the job, please contact any
of the Officers or Board members.
With the new ruling that AKC has made with regards to eligibility requirements for allowing club members approved by the parent club to judge a National Specialty, and that there are over 200 judges licensed to judge
Tibbies at this time, it is time to think about reviewing how are judges selection is done. The board will be looking into how other parent clubs of our size do their Judges selection.
The Trust has approached the Board asking that they be allowed to have a table or area for fundraising during
the National week. After some discussion among the membership, Robert Churchey made a motion to allow the
Trust to do a fundraiser at the National. Susan Mullins second. Robert Churchey then amended the motion to
allow the Show Chairman, and Trustees to coordinate together and set a specific area as to where and when the
Trust will do their fundraising. Connie Buckland second. Motion passed.
A motion was made by Dianne Tyree and second by Susan Hope that the Purina Pro Club funds be donated to the
Trust. Motion passed.
15
Colleen Chaffee made a motion to allow the Trust to have 1 free page of advertising in the TSCA Newsletter for
items that will be available. The motion was seconded by Robert Churchey. The motion passed.
A motion was made by Colleen Chaffee that the meeting be adjourned. Second by Robert Churchey. Motion
passed.
Meeting adjourned at 9:41 p.m..

GCH DRAGONSONG MIRAMICHI'S SILK STOCKINGS
UKC BIS CH. AKC BISS GR. CH. CH. Dragonsong Miramichi's Silk Stockings is our
introduction to the world of Tibbies. I am forever grateful to Pamela Bradbury for allowing
Harlow to engrace us with pure joy and love. Pam said as a little baby she was "special.” That
she is, in our eyes. I had contacted Pam because some of her dogs had the look I was looking for. I was told she had an
older female puppy. I was not interested in an older puppy and she sent me photos of Harlow when she was about 9 or
so weeks old. I took one look at her and said she was the one. Even though I really thought I wanted to acquire a male, I
went to Michigan to observe her and I returned home with this little 11 week old bundle of joy. She started her show career with multiple Best Puppy in Show wins, along with multiple Group Placements. She finished her Championship
quickly, undefeated from her first point to her last. When she went through her adolescent blow of coat (no hair shall we
say) I thought I would try showing at a UKC show. I had never attended a UKC show before. I just wanted to make sure
she still knew what going to dog shows meant as she loves the shows and would not be attending any AKC shows until
her coat grew back in. Her first time in the ring, she went Best In Show. I never purchased the photo because she looked
so naked. I am sure you all know what I mean. Not only the body coat flies but tail, pantaloons, chest coat, and feathers
as well. She looked like a plucked chicken! Her second show was Reserve Best in Show. I decided maybe I should try to
finish her title so two weeks later she showed again and earned another Reserve Best in Show, quickly finishing her UKC
Title.
I had looked forward to going the Tibbie National in Tulsa since I was not able to attend the previous year. So I sent in her
entry. To my dismay, being a typical female she decided to blow her coat, again! Though this time she salvaged a bit of
her furnishings! They always seem to know when you want them to look their best and they decide to prove you wrong. I
had wanted to take her to Canada for some shows this summer, so we went in for our second rabies shot 9 days prior to
the National. To our shock, she had a very, very bad reaction to the vaccine, even though we had taken all precautions
and had administered what we knew was the least offensive vaccine now available. Two hours later she was in dire distress. She collapsed and very shallow breathing. Her body temp had skyrocketed and I knew in my heart if seizures
started we would more than likely lose her. It was a long 20 miles to the vet office. She survived and spent some time
with the veterinarian. She has always been a healthy Tibbie, never sick a day in her life, so this was just totally unexpected. Three days before the National, she still could hardly walk. It was as if every muscle and joint in her body was rigid.
I had decided I would just go and observe the National and take her with me. We had never been separated and this way
I could attend to her. Since my husband works long hours, I could not leave house dogs at home. So I bathed my Golden
Retriever puppy for the trip. Harlow kept looking at me speaking with her eyes and saying "Well ...are you going to bathe
ME? So I filled the bathtub and allowed her to stand in shoulder deep warm water. It seemed to revive her body. I enticed
her with food to walk back and forth using the water for therapy. The next day she appeared to be much better, though
during all this time she was on a detox program which needed to be continued for 3 weeks. The day we left for the National she was eager to go. When we got to the motel, she was her fiery self, announcing to the whole world she had arrived. Yes, she thinks she is a Princess! I thought "maybe" we can do this. I never thought about winning anything. I was
just hoping that she would be able to make a good showing.
I had picked up her arm band, got her brushed for the ring. When I returned to the ballroom, I realized that it was hotter
than h. in there. I guess the air conditioning was not working. I called home and told my husband I was pulling her, it was
just too hot. This was about 20 minutes prior to BOB judging. Since she had endured such a high fever from her reaction, she was having trouble regulating her body temp. I told him it just was not worth risking her health. He encouraged
me, saying "She is telling you she wants to show....go in. IF she gets in trouble just excuse yourself. However you are
there, give her a chance". So we competed. When Harlow was awarded Best of Breed, all I could do was fight back the
tears. Though it was a dream come true, some how all I could do was hug her while thinking what a special little girl she
is and how I almost lost her. It was very emotional for me. She is my soul mate. She has shown me how sacred our
bond is and just what a huge heart she has.
I want to say "Thank You" to Linda Foiles for awarding her BOB at the National. What a thrill! But even more so, just
knowing how strong my relationship is with Harlow....well there are just NO words to explain that emotion. Win or lose,
Harlow is number one in my heart and my husband Sonny feels exactly the same way. My only regret is that Sonny was
not there to share with us. Thank you Pamela for allowing the Princess to call our home her palace. Thank you to the
TSCA for a wonderful National.! It is one we will never forget!
Debi, Sonny and Harlow

CH NAMTRAH BRIALLU BUILT TO LAST
We were so thrilled that Hardy was awarded the BOSB at the 2012 TSCA National
Specialty under esteemed breeder/judge Linda Foiles! Hardy was bred by Harold and
Mary Hartman of Namtrah Tibetan Spaniels. He lives here at Briallu with Piper and
me, and we co-own him with Mary and Harold. We love this wonderful little guy! I
have had Welsh Springer Spaniels for over 30 years, and we added Tibetan Spaniels
to our household a short number of years back. For all of those years, our policy was to keep only bitches,
and males we wanted to show and hold on to, we sent out on co-ownerships. But Hardy made us break our
own rules. When we met him at the Hartman’s, and were able to select him out of three litters of puppies,
our minds were quickly made up. He was coming to live at our house!
Piper took Hardy to his Championship with a limited number of shows. He and Piper make an excellent partnership. She presents him very nicely, and he shows his heart out for her!
We made the long drive out to Tulsa with three women, eight Tibbies, and a very loaded van full of essentials
for the week. We were certainly rewarded for all of our efforts, when Piper showed Hardy to BOSB at the National, and I got to stand alongside of her with Noli, our beautiful girl who was BOW/WB. A dream-day, at a
wonderful TSCA National Specialty!

W
inners Dog was awarded to Duart’s Chevalier D’Or and came from the Bred by Exhibitor class. This
young male was attractive with nice breed type. His head was very appealing with lovely eyes, ear set and
cushioning. He possessed good legs, both coming and going. He is a balanced, moderate Tibbie of good
bone, well ribbed with good depth of body. He showed well in spite of the heat in the ballroom.
W
inners Bitch/Best of Winners was awarded to Namtrah Wexford Holy Cannoli and came from the Open
Bitch class. She was feminine in every sense of the word. Her body outline was well balanced with good rib, a
strong loin and a level back. She used herself well both coming and going. Her lovely eye, cushioning and underjaw gave an ape like expression on a gold face. She was also my Best of Winners in the end.
B
est of Breed was awarded to GCH. Ch. Dragonsong Miramichi’s Silk Stockings for her overall balance
length of leg, expression, top-line and her correct coat. She used herself well both coming and going, with her
head carried proudly giving an impression of quality.
B
est of Opposite Sex was awarded to Ch. Namtrah Briallu Built To Last. This male showed true Tibbie expression with the lovely eye and scowl, with ears positioned correctly and with a hint of lift. His body length was
slightly longer than he was tall with moderate bone and a well fitted correct double, silky coat. His color, while
immaterial was very striking and rich.

They are downright awful this year…!!! This article is to help you make an educated choice in what is best for
you and your pets.
Fleas
Portions of this article are derived from an article written by Carol S. Foil, DVM, MS, Diplomate A.C.V.D.
The Facts on Fleas
1.
Fleas are the most common external parasite of companion animals.
2.
Flea allergy dermatitis is the most common skin disease of dogs and cats!
3.
Flea control has always been a challenge for veterinarians and pet owners because the adult fleas cause the clinical signs, yet
the majority of the flea population (eggs, larvae and pupae) are to be
found off the pet in and around the home.
4.
The ideal flea control program utilizes products that target the various stages of the flea life cycle, not only the adult fleas on
the pet. In order to help you to select the most appropriate products to
achieve a flea-free existence for an allergic pet, we will start by telling you about the life cycle of the flea.
The Life Cycle of the Flea: Ctenocephalides felis
You know the old say , “A picture is worth a 1000 words”.. well this is it…an online video - The Dirt on Fleas: An Educational Video
- produced by Comfortis with Michael Dryden, DVM, PhD http://www.comfortis4dogs.com/about-fleas/default.aspx It is a real
eye opener…
Ticks
I’ve got a personal story about ticks and what they can do to our dogs. I will admit that I had not been as careful about flea and tick
control as I should have been.
The facts: I live in medium sized town.. in the middle of town. I have a privacy fence around my city lot. Jack, a 7 year old Lhasa
Apso – yes I have Lhasas as well as Tibbies – got a tick bite in my yard. He had been nowhere else. He had a severe reaction –
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and Erlichia. He was a very sick dog. From all this he also developed glaucoma and is now completely blind. My point is that nowhere is safe from ticks and fleas…nowhere. And, there can be severe repercussions from non use
and non-compliance with flea/tick control.
Now for some information
From a researched article by Sharon Wootton, Herald Columnist www.songandword.com
There are 800-or-so species of ticks, in the class Arachnida, which includes spiders, scorpions and mites, all eight-legged, joint-legged
invertebrates. Ticks, however, are particularly skilled at spreading pathogens, some of which can be fatal.
There are hard ticks and soft ticks. Most hard ticks have a shield (scutum) that covers all or most of its body; soft ticks do not. The
mouth parts of a hard tick can be seen if you look down on them; a soft tick's mouthparts are hidden from that angle. Both types of
ticks have distinct life stages. Oddly enough, a larva emerges from the egg with six legs. Nonadult ticks aren't choosy about their
hosts. Even a snake will do if no warm-blooded animals are near.
A soft tick feeds multiple times during each stage (a hard tick only once a stage). Soft adult females lay multiple batches; hard ticks
lay one large batch. And the life cycle of a soft tick is longer than a hard tick.
If you find ticks, they are most likely to be the particularly sneaky hard ticks. They hunker down on the edges of grass or leaves and
wait … and wait … and wait with their front legs out. This behavior is called questing, and some can wait for months, or in some species, a year or more if necessary. They can grab onto clothes, skin, fur or hair of a passing warm-blooded host. Then the quest is for
flesh and blood. Some ticks need more than one host to complete its life cycle. These predatory maneuvers are extremely successful:
fossil records go back at least 90 million years.
Soft ticks are more like bedbugs, hanging out in nests (or beds) of their host.
Female ticks live longer because the males die after mating, leaving the feeding to the females, who die after depositing their batch, or
batches, of eggs.
The Center for Disease Control (www.cdc.gov, 800-232-4636) in Washington, D.C., and MedicineNet.com offer the latest in tick advice:
1. Know where ticks are most likely to be found, then avoid the area if possible.
2. Wear light-colored clothing so that the dark ticks can more easily be seen. Tuck pants into boots or socks if walking through
grasses.

6.
To help prevent the free rides, use products with DEET on your skin. Products with permethrin can be used on boots,
camping gear and clothes. You can put your clothes in a dryer for an hour on high and that should kill any hiding in
seams.
Check for ticks at the end of an outing.
Shower after being outdoors.
To remove the tick, skip the folklore remedies, such as using the hot end of a burnt match or "painting" the tick with nail
polish or gasoline. Some traditional approaches may cause the tick to release more fluids into the bite.
a. Use a small pair of tweezers.
b. Do not yank on the tick because that risks leaving mouth parts behind. Flip it on its back and slowly pull upwards.
c. To avoid leaving barbed mouth parts, a dermatologist writing for About.com suggests pulling gently enough to lift
the skin, then holding that position for the three or four minutes it will take for the tick to be convinced to back out.
d. Flush the tick down the toilet.
e. Clean the bite area and your hands (remember those pathogens) with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. Use an antibiotic cream. Don't forget to clean the tweezers.
f. If you have a tick bite followed by a fever or rash, see a doctor. If you have any concerns about diseases, bag the
tick and freeze it in case the doctor needs to identify the tick.
Now it’s your turn to make choices....
I have included a comparison table on Flea and Tick products. It should give you enough information that with your veterinarian you
can make the best choice for you and your dogs.

As well as the shows, we have a great weekend of fun and information planned.
Thursday night, it’s DINNER AROUND THE CAMPFIRE! Tibbie folks are invited to gather around for soup and salad,
along with dessert. Bring along a chair and something to drink and enjoy the food, campfire and other tibbie folks! This
will be in the pavilion. If anyone would like to help with salad fixings, please let Connie Buckland
<[email protected]> know what you will bring.
For Friday afternoon, it’s the FLTSA Annual meeting at the pavilion. Pizza and soda will be supplied by FLTSA
(donations will be accepted). Following the meeting and lunch, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Eric C. Ledbetter,
ACVO, Associate Professor of Opthalmology at the Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine will speak on
"Canine herpesvirus-1 ocular disease in mature dogs".
Please let Carol Srnka <[email protected]> know if you are planning to attend.
Since it was so well-received in the past few years, FLTSA will be having a buffet at the pavilion Friday night. This will be
by pre-reservation only so that we will have enough food on hand to let everyone eat as much as they can hold. The cost
per person is $17, which will include soda and bottled water. Please BYOB if you want. Mail your reservations and payment to Carol Srnka, 6352 Iradell Road, Trumansburg, NY 14886 by September 12.
After judging on Saturday, please join us for the Finger Lakes Tibetan Spaniel Association dish-to-pass luncheon at the
Pavilion on the lake. ALL TIBBIE FOLKS ARE WELCOME! Along with this is our annual “Tibetan raffle/auction” with lots
of great items! Table settings and soda will be supplied by FLTSA. Please let Jean Briggs < [email protected]>
know what you will be bringing for the luncheon – after all we don’t want to end up with just macaroni salad.
Sunday after judging, it’s time to say so long to friends and wish them a safe trip home.
THANKS FOR COMING!
