The Lhasa Bulletin is published by the American Lhasa Apso Club, Inc. The Lhasa Bulletin is supported by member’s dues, utilizing $6.00 per member per year. Subscription is 3 times annually for all ALAC members. The opinions and views expressed in this publication are not necessarily those of ALAC, the publisher,or it’s advertisers. The advertising space provided in The Lhasa Bulletin is purchased and paid for by the advertiser. The Lhasa Bulletin and it’s staff are not responsible for opinions and statements expressed in signed articles or paid advertisements. None of the products or services are necessarily endorsed by ALAC. 6 President’s Message Winter 2011/2012 2012 has arrived and with it are changes for the American Lhasa Apso Club. Thanks to the efforts of Bud Brockway and the ALAC board over a period of several years, ALAC has new by-laws. The AKC Board of Directors approved the new by-laws at its October meeting and our club is now operating under the new rules. Highlights of the changes (other than those driven by AKC) include 1) the addition of a new position by splitting the secretarial chores into recording and corresponding secretaries. The board will appoint a new corresponding secretary at the February meeting. 2) Effective immediately, all future membership voting done by first class mail will have a 30 day time frame rather than the previous 45 days. 3) The club’s fiscal year has been changed for tax purposes and is now January 1 to December 31. 4) The addition of a foreign membership which restricts voting privileges for foreign members to voting for judges for national specialties and futurities. Thanks go to Bud and the ALAC board for getting these changes accomplished! 2011 Notable Firsts ALAC presented the Member of the Year Award to Joyce Johanson at the annual meeting. For more than a decade, Joyce has been a leader in the club, filling various roles on the board and as a committee chairperson. Congratulations and thank you, Joyce, for all of your efforts to support and improve ALAC. Top Twenty Competition – the first ever Top 20 Competition was well received by those who participated and attended the opening event for the 2011 National. Congratulations to GCH Sundancer’s Aleksandra, owned by Kathy Hamilton and Lori Johnson, bred by Marsha and Tom Worlton and Lori Johnson, and shown by Tonia Holibaugh for garnering both the Top 20 Award and the People’s Choice Award! Cut Down Sweepstakes – Another first and a very popular addition to this year’s National. Congratulations to CH. FFT Kisses of Fire owned by Vickie Kuhlmann, Julie Timbers and Debbie Rothman, bred by Julie and Kaylee Timbers and Donna Sonnenberg for this win. The annual meeting was very interactive this year, and I thank those who attended and participated. Susan Giles shared the future plans for the Bulletin which has been discussed during the past year by the board. The decision to go digital has been difficult. NOBODY wants to give up the Bulletin as we know it, but advertising simply does not support the cost of producing hard copy. The club can no longer afford to underwrite the costs. There are many advantages to going digital including plans for less expensive advertising that will be sent to all Non Sporting judges in addition to the membership, more frequent publishing, thus making the information and advertising more timely, more articles planned including ways to recognize past and present Lhasa fanciers – a myriad of possibilities. It will take time to develop the new format, and we are seeking members who are interested in helping Bobbie with developing the advertising as well all who would like to contribute articles of interest to the members. All of you Retirees –now is the time to volunteer!!!! There is a benefit to aging – more time to help your club! Retirement of the Dot Primm Memorial Challenge Trophy. KUDOS to Susan Giles for retiring this prestigious trophy. Susan not only owned, but also bred two of her three National Specialty Winners. 2008 – BIS Ch. Ta Sen Victory Peyote, 2010 - BIS GCH My Thai Ta Sen Halleluiah Chorus (bred by Mary Vaden) and, 2011 – BIS GCH. Ta Sen Bond James Bond. Special Thanks to: Linda Jarrett and her show committee for a great National week – super hotel and weather and plenty of fun to go around. Special thanks to Julie Timbers for spearheading the Top 20, and to Fran Strayer and Marsha Susag for and cut down Sweeps competition. Other changes occurring in 2012 – the revised ALAC handbook will be exclusively online with hard copy provided at cost plus shipping to members making that request. Voting for National Specialty judges will now be a two step process rather than three. The first ballot will allow voting for up to 10 judges. Working with that list, the top four judges who are both available and have agreed to ALAC’s financial and geographical restrictions will be on the second ballot. On the second ballot, members may (not must) vote for two judges. The judge with the most votes will be invited to judge the National, and the judge with the 2nd highest tally will be invited to judge the Regional. Ballots and voting for the judges will be sent electronically to members with email and via snail mail to all others. Ed Valle – for his service on the board along with volunteering to take on Meet the Breeds in Orlando at the AKC Eukanuba Invitational. Everybody who has opened the world of Agility to the Lhasa Fancywhat a fabulous year for the dedicated contenders! All of the ALAC Committee Chairpersons and Board Members – for another year of service and dedication to the club. Bobbie Wood – for representing our breed – and the entire NS group as Breeder of the Year for Non Sporting Breeds at the AKC Eukanuba Invitational. 7 THE AMERICAN LHASA APSO CLUB Officers, Board of Directors, Committee Chairs Club Year November 1, 2011-October 31, 2012 PRESIDENT Barbara Schwartz PO Box 749 Mancos, CO 81328 [email protected] 970-533-1030 SECRETARY Ann Burton 9413 Corsica Dr. Bethesda, MD 20814 [email protected] VICE-PRESIDENT Stephen G.C.

Additional research reprinted in the Dallas Morning News, August 16th, 2011. The title of the article in the newspaper: “Could This Powder be “Solid Gold’?” PubMed, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, lists more than 4,000 studies using curcumin as herbal medicine by practicing physicians. Dr. Bharat B. Aggurwal, professor of experimental therapeutics at the University of Texas at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, has helped produce more than 100 of these curcumin studies. He says curcumin has anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities. He also recommends it for pain management and Alzheimer’s. Further research in the book, “Real Cause, Real Cure,” Dr. Jacob Tertelbaum at the Fibromyalgia and Fatigue Centers shows how curcumin blocks the inflammatory cytokines, helps white blood cells move faster, decreases allergic inflammation and strengthens cells against bacteria. Solid Gold SunDancer dry dog food with curcumin comes in 4, 15 and 33 pound hermetically sealed bags. Some dog food companies have reduced the size of their bags to 25 or 28 pound sizes. Not Solid Gold. Our bags remain at 33 pounds. The Solid Gold Sea Meal is always fed with our dog food. See our catalogue specially for Oriental dogs, Arctic dogs, and dogs from England, Scotland, Ireland and all water dogs (labs, poodles – as well as terriers, spaniels and retrievers). In 1958, the U.S. Congress wanted to fund a study using curcumin and cancer. But the pharmaceutical companies lobbied against it. They said it might interfere with their revenue from their cancer drugs so the lobbyist stopped the study. In 1971, President Nixon tried to have the study begin, but Watergate ended that. Ask your local animal supply store to get in the Solid Gold SunDancer dry dog food with curcumin. It is the chicken/white fish base with tapioca and quinoa to control gas. It is also helpful for tear-staining, ear infections, bladder stones and chewing at the feet. You have tasted curcumin when you eat mustard. Curcumin gives mustard its bright yellow color and its spicy flavor. It’s also called curry. The Indians (in India) refer it to curcumin as Solid Gold for a variety of healing problems. Ask your local pet store for a free catalogue. If they don’t have a SunDancer catalogue, call us at (619)258-7356, M-F, 10am to 5pm Pacific time.

When the Secretary notified the Board that she had received four nominations, I was surprised to find that two of them were for me—one from Marsha Susag and another from my husband. At the Awards banquet, we were having so much fun at our table that I missed Barbara’s first words regarding the award. Then when I realized she was talking about me, my heart stumbled a bit. (My face also flushed because by then a lot of people were staring my way as Barbara read from a list about my work with ALAC.) When at last she announced my name and called me forward to receive the award, I was both humbled and honored—and I remain so every time I think of it. ALAC is comprised of many members who, over their years of involvement with the club, have given freely of their time, talents, and money to serve ALAC and the Lhasa Apso. To be chosen from among them is indeed a high honor. The time is coming when once again each of you will have the opportunity to nominate an ALAC member to receive the Member of the Year Award at the 2012 Awards Banquet. I encourage each of you to think about a person—whether it be a close friend, a spouse, or a member of your local Lhasa Club—that you know has sought to serve ALAC and our breed. Perhaps a committee from each local club could work together to nominate someone. The nomination form is available in the Bulletin and on the club’s website, and nominations can come from single members or groups. The form itself (page 48) is brief so feel free to attach a separate letter containing the details that won’t fit on the form itself. You will notice that, in addition to the number of years involved in ALAC, the requirements for the award involve (1) Service to the Club, (2) Contributions to the Breed, and (3) Dedication to/Promotion of the Welfare of the Breed. It is important that the nomination address each of those requirements thoroughly. Please know that, although I was kept in the dark about my nomination, it is not necessary that you do so with the person you or your club selects for nomination. As a matter of fact, you might just ask that person for help as you fill out the form. The more detail and specifics you can provide in each section, the better. You need to go to the source for the details. Thanks again to Marsha and Lynn for my nomination, to the Board members who voted for me, and to the many members who congratulated me with kind words. I look forward to congratulating next Member of the Year and ask you all not only to consider nominating someone for the honor but also to do it! Best Wishes to you all for a great 2012! ghghghghghghghghghghghghghggh NEW MEMBERS Marji McCormick Pauline Anne Harman 837 Hemlock Ridge Ct.

We have $8000 of expendable income. The meeting was called to order by Barbara Schwartz at 8:05PM EDT. The Roll was called. The following members of the board were present: Barbara Schwartz, Ann Burton, Beverly Simms, Bobbie Wood, Clay Williams, Jan Bruton, Jan Graunke, Joyce Johanson, Marsha Susag, Naomi Hanson, Susan Giles, Vicki Kuhlman. Absent were Ray Sledzik and Ed Valle. Committee Reports JEC: Leslie Baumann submitted a brief report on the Penta Institute in Indiana, PA. Native Stock Committee: The board needs to approve the registrar for FFS. Move this item to new business. Corrections were made to the minutes which were approved as corrected. The issue of the ballot for regions for the NSSC was discussed. The decision to issue a ballot with both choices suggested by the NSSC with no preference indicated was reviewed. Local Club Liaison - Brief items from the regional clubs were noted. Handbook: Joyce got copies of the directory and handbook. Corrections are being made. Joyce suggests publication in January (hard copy). We hope to have it online sooner; we will solidify the plans for putting it online in October. The minutes of the August 2 board meeting were approved as submitted. President’s Report: Board members were reminded to keep Board matters in confidence. In addition, members were reminded that on chat lists, they should indicate their own opinions when posting and not indicate they were opinions of the Board. Membership: No new members in August. Website: We are getting more and more hits. A dog was placed through the website. All submissions to the website have to go through Marsha. Barb will check if the current breeder referral persons are still able to continue. New titles will not be listed until we receive confirmation from AKC. We would like to have a link with Rescue to their website. Secretary Report: Note was taken of the number of mailings timely sent over the last two months. Thanks to all who worked on the mailings. There was discussion of the ALAC Member of the Year nominations which were emailed to board members. It was decided that August 30 will be the deadline for board members to cast their ballots. Board members agreed to vote via email to Ann by 8/30. Old Business Meet the Breeds: For the event in Orlando, Rob Mitten cannot do it. We have asked Ed Valle to be the point person. Treasurer’s report pended while Steve gave his report. NSSC: 2012 Specialty Chair. Steve Campbell has agreed to be show chair. Marsha moved (2011-38) and Susan seconded a motion to approve Steve Campbell as 2012 show chair. The motion passed. Susan wanted to go back to the system of a standing committee which carries from year to year. Steve Campbell joined the meeting to report from NSSC. The ballot for the region change was sent and caused some controversy. Steve reported on the possible four sites for the 2013 specialty. The 2013 judges ballot has been sent out. The site in Phoenix is turning out to be very expensive based on required room nights. Several sites in California were mentioned. San Ramone is no longer available (that site has several all breed shows at the same time). Reno has dates in September in conjunction with other nationals. The potential judges have been given dates for third week in October. Hotels in Sacramento are Red Lion $99/night, elevator, has right date, no pet deposit, motorhomes no hookups park at no cost, with rooms. Airport shuttle, 4800 sq feet ballroom at no cost. Small food service cart in the ballroom. No cost for meeting rooms. Agility is 30 miles away with an agility setup with equipment. Lions Gate similar costs, $109/night $40/pet deposit, no elevator, no motorhome hookups 25$ only six spaces, ballroom $250 per day, 5000squ feet. Steve recommended pursuing the Red Lion option. The board asked the NSSC to contact the Red Lion Hotel for availability and other items for the week of 10/21 to 10/26/2013 and report back to the board. We will move this to New Business. Suspend committee reports to vote. 2013 Specialty Site : Already discussed New Business AKC Lifetime Achievement Awards: Jean Fournier was proposed as the conformation nominee. Jean Fournier was selected. Obedience person was proposed as Betty Withers and she was selected. Performance nominee selected was Jerry Price. Barbara will forward our choices to AKC. Local Club Specialties: The board had approved local specialties for five years at a time; this approval will expire in September, 2011. In September AKC will require renewal of the approvals. This will be on the agenda in October. Board Meetings: This was discussion of whether board meetings should be open. It was the general feeling of the board that the agenda be published 10 days in advance of the meeting. It will go on ALAC Online and members can send suggestions. Approved minutes can be posted on ALAC Online as well as on the website. Marsha moved (2011-37) and Bobbie seconded that the board give permission to NSSC to contact the Red Lion Hotel in Sacramento to ascertain availability the week of 10/21 with a report back to the board by September 15. The motion passed. The northern California club will pursue the option of a site near the Del Val all breed shows. (October 17th and 18th ,the 19th is all specialties and 20th and 21st all breed shows). If the Red Lion is chosen the Northern CALAC club will have their specialty in conjunction with specialty week. Remembering 9/11 Dogs and Handlers: This remembrance will be in Liberty State Park across from the Statue of Liberty. The treaty to be signed is for the working dogs that do this work and the breeders 36 American Lhasa Apso Club Annual Board Meeting to coordinate with Homeland Security to have American dogs do this work. Currently, many dogs doing search and rescue are foreign bred. Sarah Fitzgerald will sign the treaty for ALAC. Susan moved (201139) and Jan Graunke seconded a motion to donate $1000 to this cause. Marsha objected to such a large expenditure. Ann amended the motion to $500 and Jan Graunke seconded the amendment. Motion required a roll call vote; the motion failed. Vicki moved (2011-40) and Clay seconded a motion to send $300. The motion passed. We ended the fiscal year with $4252.70 in the red. We still have a healthy bank account. Marsha discussed the club’s expenses broken down by household. Unusual expenses were in member awards, computer software for the Bulletin. ALAC dues have not been raised for many years; this is something to be considered. Jan Graunke helped save a considerable amount by obtaining the awards plaques at a lower price and saving on shipping by bringing the plaques. ALAC Members List: Are there rules for the list? The only rules Net worth is $55,025.20 as of August 30. set up by Lynette are generally no attacks. In cases where unruly posting occurs, Vicki, the moderator, has pulled posts. Marsha has met most of her goals for the year; still working on putting photos up on the website. 2011 National Specialty: The premium list is at 70%. Onofrio needed info from last year’s premium list; this info was sent to Onofrio today. Premium should be in the mail by next week. Marsha has sent the mailing list to Onofrio. There are a few unpaid dues but several were received after Marsha published the list. Treasurer’s report was accepted. Clay moved and Joyce seconded a motion to adjourn. The meeting was adjourned at 10:30PM EDT. AKC Delegate Report Ray was not able to attend the September delegate meeting. He may be able to attend the December Delegate meeting. Ray is concerned about his ability to continue as delegate. Delegates may not be involved in dog related business. Ray has been our delegate for over 40 years. A rule change is being considered to allow for a Reserve Best in Show. Respectfully submitted, Ann Burton, Secretary Committee Reports Susan recommended we not review the reports unless action will be required by a motion; if so it will be discussed under New Business. Unfinished Business Bulletin (deferred) Member’s List Board of Director’s Meeting American Lhasa Apso Club October 11, 2011 Albuquerque, New Mexico Some of the entries have been unruly or offensive. Barb asked Vicki to come up with a list of appropriate behavior which will be allowed. Marsha moved (2011-41) that we give it four months to see if the etiquette proposed is adhered to. Jan G. seconded the motion. This matter will be revisited at the February Board meeting. Vicki, Marsha, and Clay are moderators. Motion passed. The meeting was called to order by Barbara Schwartz. Group Re-alignment The roll was called. Ray Sledzik and Naomi Hanson were absent. In lieu of a president’s report, Barbara thanked the board for working together this year. She also commented on the project (9/11) for the search and rescue. Tom Davis is trying to push through 11 groups. This is way too many groups. We need direction for Ray. Marsha moved (2011-42) and Clay seconded a motion to direct Ray to maintain our opposition to the realignment. They are trying to get the groups down to less than 18 breeds per group. The motion passed. Secretary’s Report. Meet the Breeds The minutes were accepted as submitted. The board was elected as slated. The regions ballot results were announced and the choice was for 3 regions. The by-laws ballot results were announced and the bylaws changes were accepted. Ann is doing MTB in NY and Ed Valle is doing MTB in Orlando. If you are at AKC Eukanuba show in Orlando, stop by to help and if you have a dog let them spend some time at the booth. 2012 Judge Selection (Deferred) ALAC Rescue trust submitted to the Secretary: $8177.61 balance in the account. The Secretary’s report was accepted. Parent Club Approval Last time the approvals were requested by AKC blanket approval was granted for five years. It is time to renew the parent club approvals for the regional clubs’ specialties. Barbara found two clubs on our list which were not active: The San Diego Lhasa Apso Club and the Lhasa Treasurer’s Report Marsha thanked the people who have helped with the all breed agility trials. They have brought in over $8000 . 37 American Lhasa Apso Club Annual Board Meeting Apso Club of Southern California. There are four clubs with independent specialties: Willamette, Merrimack, Twin Cities, and Greater Milwaukee. Marsha moved (2011-43) that the clubs with independent specialties be approved for 5 years. Seconded. Marsha amended the motion from 5 years to 3 years for clubs which hold independent specialties. Motion passed. Susan moved(2011-44)that the clubs holding regional club specialties (designated) receive 2 year approvals. The American Lhasa Apso Club’s policy is that these Handbook The approved by-laws have to be sent to AKC for review by the AKC board. The handbook and directory should be ready by the first of the year (digitally). The hand book has the quasi permanent items; committee descriptions, by-laws, etc. The directory is the annual club roster. Options for binders were submitted with costs. Proposed is the one binder to hold both handbook and directory. Melissa wants the board to determine how many to print. The members will have the option of purchasing the hard copy edition; the price would cover cost and shipping. New members would receive the hard copy. Melissa wants direction on number of copies to produce. Joyce moved (2011-47) the board accept Melissa’s proposal to have the handbook and directory on line and that we have hard copy binders (100) produced to be available for purchase for cost plus shipping. Marsha seconded. Motion passed. 2012 Judges Futurity specialties may not be held within one week prior or one week after the National Specialty. Motion passed. By-laws. Why is there the requirement for futurity number to be on the entry form for the Specialty? The reason for the number is to secure the futurity from ineligible entrants. Linda Byrne requested an explanation as to why Ed Biven is not the judge for the 2012 National. Barbara says she inadvertently sent out the inquiry to the judges with the wrong date. The board felt that Barbara’s explanation was full and sufficient. She also wanted to ask why the show superintendent (Onofrio) could not get the premiums out to the members. National Specialty Show Committee The committee sent a number of proposals for approval by the board. 1. Judges Selection-Marsha moved (2011-48) and Susan seconded a motion to change the process of judge selection from three ballots to two ballots. First ballot a vote for up to ten; the top ten will be contacted for availability and the top four will be on the second ballot. On that ballot two votes may (not must) be cast. The top two will be the judges for the national and regional. Motion passed. 2. Fees – no action required. 3. Publication of judge ballots - Clay moved (2011-49) that we publish the results of the final ballot for judges; total ballots cast and the votes received by each of the judges who accepted the assignment. Bev seconded the motion. Lively discussion followed. Bev rescinded her second. Clay amended his motion to include the top four. Marsha seconded the motion. Motion passed by majority vote. 4. Susan moved (2011-50) that we email the ballot to members with hard copy to those without email. Marsha seconded the motion. The emails should come from Betty who is in charge of the judge selection process. The corresponding secretary might perform this task. The motion passed 5. Create a National Specialty Committee – Create a committee consisting of the show chair, trophy chair, catalogue chair, etc. to provide the continuity from year to year. Susan moved (2011-51) and Joyce seconded a motion to create this committee. The chair of this committee is already approved. Concerns about stagnation and not including new people were expressed. The personality factors were discussed. Clay called the question. The motion passed. Canine Health Foundation The club does not have a standard for health testing. It is not in the by-laws. Bulletin Susan submitted a proposal for the Bulletin to go digital on a bi-monthly basis. Members not on line would receive a b/w hard copy. Advertising cost would decrease. The annual color edition could be combined with the yearbook. The cost of production would be greatly reduced. Postage costs would also go down. Need a features editor to do this. Marsha moved (2011-45) that we email the current on-line edition of the bulletin out to the judges. Seconded. Motion passed. At the general meeting the costs of the Bulletin are covered in Marsha’s report. The members will be able to see why the suggestion to go online is made. Consideration of a subscription will be discussed for members who want to keep the Bulletin as is. In summary, we will have to raise dues, or there will be a subscription fee for the bulletin for hard copies in lieu of on line receipt of the bulletin. The Bulletin will go online to the judges. All the options will be presented to the membership. New Business Native Stock JEC Marsha moved (2011-52) that we dissolve this committee. Motion was seconded by Jan and passed. Don Hanson has resigned as co-chair. Leslie wants to continue but needs a co-chair. Barbara will search for a candidate. Yearbook. Futurity Decision about the status of the yearbook will be held over until decisions about the Bulletin are made. Clay would like to initiate a Maturity competition. Clay would like to address this at the next meeting. To publish the futurity entry form on ALAC Online quarterly was suggested by Lynn Replogle. Increasing Revenue Marsha summarized ideas already mentioned to increase revenue: raise dues, make the Bulletin a subscription publication, seeking sponsorship for mailings. Marsha would like to increase the credit card fees. Breed Standard Committee Marsha moved (2011-46) that projects being sent to the membership be submitted to the board first. Clay seconded. Motion passed. The proposal Susan brought from JTZ was reviewed; they want to serve 38 American Lhasa Apso Club Annual General Meeting as web site provider. They can create a shopping cart as a means of raising revenue. Marsha says George also can do this. The shopping cart could create income by making it possible to sell ways and means items, sale items, dues, trophy donations etc. Bev moved (2011-53) and Joyce seconded a motion for Marsha to contact George to see if he could create a similar secure shopping cart and report back by December. The results of the Bylaws ballot were that the Bylaws changes were accepted. Treasurer’s Report Marsha announced that the current treasury balance is $55,025.25. Marsha expressed our thanks to members who volunteered to help with the all breed trials; Ed Moses, Rita Cloutier, and Phyllis Misite, Leslie Baumann, Jan Graunke, Joyce Johanson, and Kathy Ruprecht. Through their efforts the club has realized a sizeable cash profit that supports the national specialty and other projects. Onofrio There was an inquiry regarding their non performance as superintendents for the specialty. Obviously they failed to send the premium list to the membership. Next year we must carefully review the dates in the contracts to assure that the contract is correct; it should be scrutinized very carefully by several members of the show committee. Marsha noted that our club is in financial decline. In FY2011 the cost per household was $84.25. Susan brought up the idea of changing the state in which we are incorporated. The benefit would be to conduct electronic business. Texas is one possibility. We need more information. Don Evans will be asked to check the state of Virginia. Jan G. will check various states. Clay will check costs. AKC Delegate Ray Sledzik was not able to be present. Ray has been delegate for 40 years. The delegates passed a proposal to award reserve BIS. They are still trying to pass the group realignment. It was announced that long time member Marv Whitman passed away. Health and Education will be discussed in December. Committee Reports .The meeting was adjourned at 11:25am. AKC Gazette Respectfully submitted, Ann E. Burton, Secretary The AKC Gazette is discontinuing its print edition and going to a digital, on-line format. Breed columns will continue to be a priority.

Bev Drake ALAC Rescue Trust Treasurer Breeder Education The Breeder Education Committee (“BEC” or “Committee”) members 40 American Lhasa Apso Club Annual General Meeting include: Janice Tilley, Joyce Johanson, Beverly Simms, Leslie Baumann, Don Evans, and Don Hanson We would like each member who provides the Committee with input to let us know what changes, if any, to these documents you think would enable judges, Lhasa Apso breeders, and others to more clearly comprehend/interpret our standard and the breed in general. The Breeder Education program for 2011 is being presented on Oct 12 at the National. The speaker is Dr Donny MacDougal DVM. The subject is Anatomy and the Resulting Movement. The program will be followed, with a cut down sweepstake. Attached to this e-mail is a chart (a PDF document) that compares our current Lhasa breed standard to the AKC recommended format for breed standards. The breed standards of newly admitted AKC breeds, as well as, the breed standard of any currently admitted AKC breed whose standard is in revision follows this AKC recommended format. The program for the 2012 National has already been confirmed. We will be having Jenny Dickenson, a behaviorist speaking and working hands on with the dogs. She will also be available for CGC testing. She currently teaches Canine Behavior at Mt. Ida College and is a Lhasa owner. Constructive comments and ideas will be welcomed as input by the Committee during this project. We would request that a particular comment not be submitted by the same member more than once. Each comment will be filed (along with the name of the submitting member) in a file that the Committee will use for this project. This will enable the Committee to contact the appropriate member if it has a question or wants to further clarify the member’s input. My plans for the coming year are to get a Yahoo group going for BEC . Articles of Education will be worked on and submitted to the board for approval, before being posted to the website. Respectfully submitted, Janice Tilley, BEC Chair BSC-Breed Standard Committee The Committee would appreciate it if a separate e-mail (or other written correspondence) is submitted for each area of the Standard or Illustrated Guide on which you would like to comment. For example, if you would like to comment on both the “size” and “mouth & muzzle” sections, please submit two e-mails (one with “size” and one with “mouth & muzzle” in the subject line). This will allow for greater ease in filing comments in an appropriate place for Committee reference as it proceeds through its review of each section. The Breed Standard Committee (“BSC” or “Committee”) members include: Leslie Baumann, Jan Bruton, Don Evans, Susan Giles, Don Hanson, Peggy Huffman, Dana Read and Janice Tilley. On September 19, 2011, the BSC contacted the ALAC membership (Exhibit A), utilizing the membership e-mail and “snail mail” lists supplied to the Committee by the Board, to solicit the membership’s input regarding the ALAC Breed Standard Committee Document Review Project (the “Project”). Please send your comments to the Committee by either of the following methods: The Committee’s task in conducting the Project is to conduct a comprehensive review and comparison of the Breed Standard, Illustrated Guide to the Standard, Verbal Guide to the Breed Standard, currently approved JEC power-point presentation and script, proposed JEC power-point presentation and script (as presented at the 2009 ALAC National) and all other currently existing documents relating to the breed standard. E-mail: [email protected] USPS: Don L. Evans, Chairman ALAC Breed Standard Committee 3570 Windsor Lane Huntingtown, MD 20639-4012 The Committee has already begun to receive input from the membership regarding the Project and the Committee’s discussion during a planned BSC meeting during the National Specialty week will include the input received to date with respect to the Project. As requested, the Chairman will give a presentation describing and clarifying the Project. Upon receipt, the comments will be placed in the Committee’s file and distributed individually to each Committee member. It is anticipated that at the conclusion of this BSC project the suggested revisions, if any, to any ALAC document will be submitted to the ALAC Board and ALAC membership for any appropriate action. Respectfully submitted, Don L. Evans, BSC Chair Dear ALAC Member: The Committee would like you thank each of you, as valued members of ALAC, for your anticipated response to this request for comments and for the opportunity to work with you during the duration of this project. If you have any questions regarding the project please e-mail [email protected]. For the Breed Standard Committee, Don L. Evans, Chairman Exhibit A The ALAC Breed Standard Committee (BSC or Committee) was formed to, among other things, review the Breed Standard and all related ALAC approved documents, including the ALAC Illustrated Guide to the Standard (the Lhasa Apso Breed Standard and the Illustrated Guide to the Standard may be found on the ALAC website). The Committee’s charge is to make recommendations as to whether or not any of these documents should be revised to clarify, improve, enhance, and/or expand on the language and content of those documents. Membership The following report covers the period between October 12, 2010 and September 30, 2011. During that time period, the ALAC Board of Directors approved the following 43 new members: In accordance with the BSC Purpose Statement, the Committee is soliciting and collecting constructive input from ALAC members in order to be able to benefit from the viewpoint of members wishing to express their ideas as the Committee works on this project.

Wayne, IN Joanne M Williamson, Boxborough, MA published quarterly in ALAC On-Line. Possibly an occasional visible reminder will act as an incentive to nominated a litter. So far for the 2012 Futurity year (April 1, 2011 – March 31, 2012) we have 10 litters nominated. As you all realize by now, this years Futurity Judges Ballot present the Club with a dilemma – Four individuals accepted the challenge – Jan Graunke (WI), Naomi Hanson (WA), Marilyn Ricciotti (RI) and Linda Kendal Smith (DE) and for the first time in memory we had a tie vote, this year between Naomi Hanson and Linda Kendal Smith. After much discussion a tie breaker vote was initiated with a deadline of October 5, 2011 for on-line votes and snail mail votes which is about 25. Those ballots will go to Lea in CO and she will tally them and send the numbers to Barbara at the specialty, hopefully in time for the Board Meeting. Barbara agreed to pick up the cost of having Lea tally those few. Clay paid for stamps and stamps on the return ballots, and Marsha donated the paper and laser toner and time so there was no net cost to the Futurity funds. A very big THANK YOU to Barbara, Lea , Clay and Marsha. Marsha has informed me that Paul Voight has 3 beautiful wood plaques for Grand Futurity winners with NO dates on them, that he will donate to us for future use. I think we should take them and save some money for the next couple of years. THANK YOU PAUL. And lastly, I think we need to put our heads together to avoid the frustration everyone encountered this year when trying to enter the Futurity and Nationals on-line. I’m sure no one realized Onofrio would not be equipped to accept the Futurity litter numbers on their on-line entry site. Hopefully everyone who wanted to enter the Futurity classes was able to do so. Respectfully submitted by Lynn Replogle ALAC Futurity Chairperson ,September 25, 2011 Household Memberships 1.

David Susag, Fargo, ND JEC Committee Report Judges Education Committee supported five programs last year including a judges study group in Florida (led by Dana Read), the AKC NonSporting Institute (led by Susan Giles), the Springfield, IL Memorial Day cluster (led by Joyce Johanson), the ACEF (Col. Pede) Institute in Louisville, KY and the Senior Judges (Dr. Penta) Institute in Indiana, PA. So far, we have two requests for programs next year. Both in March. One at the Kansas City, MO cluster and one at the Fort Worth, TX cluster. We also have the JEC home study CD for judges very near completion. JEC Committee member Joyce Johanson is leading our first mentor training program at the National Specialty this year. The JEC continues to seek high resolution photographs to include in the presentation from the membership. We prefer studio/candid portraits; we do not use show photos. Feel free to contact a JEC member for more information. Respectfully submitted, Leslie Baumann and Don Hanson Welcome All!!! Thanks for your interest in and support of the Lhasa Apso. Respectfully Submitted, Joyce Johanson Membership Committee Chair Bulletin Susan Giles went over a proposal to publish the Bulletin on-line. Last year the Bulletin lost $8601. The proposal presented would publish the Bulletin on-line, bi-monthly. It would be posted on the ALAC web-site and emailed to members. This would greatly reduce the cost. A year end edition could be combined with the yearbook. Cons are that individuals would have to print out features and articles if desired. Members with no email access would receive black and white hard copies. On-line it would be sent to judges 6 xs per year. Another option would be to publish the bulletin as a subscription magazine @ $40.00 annually. Local Club Liaison Clubs with e-mail contacts have been contacted periodically to inform them of board actions and to solicit questions and responses. To all the local clubs, please make sure I am sending these messages to the right person in your club, as occasionally these contacts change. Respectfully submitted, Jan Bruton, local club liaison Futurity This years Futurity Judge is Debby Burke. For the 2011 Futurity year (April 1, 2010 – March 31, 2011) there were 33 litters nominated, down from the previous years 37. We have are seeing a continual decline in litter nominations. As a suggestion, the futurity nomination forms and rules could be National Specialty 2011 Preparations are progressing well. We have had some serious problems with our new superintendent. Premium lists were not forwarded to our 42 American Lhasa Apso Club Annual General Meeting Native Stock Committee Annual Report ALAC list which they had received and the Colorado club’s trophy list was not listed. However they have worked with us well. The Hilton changed its name midstream and is now the Crowne Plaza. A lot of people seem to be taking advantage of being able to attend the Albuquerque International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta just prior to our National week. Sandy Devlin, Mary Jane Orrie and Fran Strayer have helped with a lot of hard work on this project. This couldn’t have happened without a lot of information from Barb, Bobbie, Janice, and Marsha. Thank you. Linda Jarrett This past year marked a successful ‘yes’ vote regarding the two-pronged approach for expanding the Lhasa Apso gene pool. Seventeen Gompa dogs, including 5 young puppies, are now fully registered with the American Kennel Club. Currently I’m working with AKC on back-filling the pedigrees beyond three generations, using official UKC pedigrees. In the upcoming weeks, I will be working with ALAC’s webmaster updating the Native Stock area, switching the focus from education about the vote itself to what’s relevant in the future, specifically AKC FSS (Foundation Stock Service) procedures, including the Critique Process. National Specialty 2012. The specialty will be in Mansfield, MA. Jan Bruton will judge the National. Keke Kahn will judge the Regional. ALAC’s President, along with ALAC’s Board of Directors, have appointed me Native Stock Registrar. Given that the remaining work to be done falls within the Registrar’s duties, it may be appropriate to dissolve the Native Stock Committee. Respectfully submitted, Debby Rothman – NSC Chair The Cut down Sweeps This is a chance for new judges to see the dogs without the illusion of hair. ALAC National Specialty Steering Committee The following is being recommended to the Board from the Committee regarding four issues that have been approved by the Committee consisting of Susan Giles, Naomi Hanson, Marsha Susag, Jan Graunke, Barbara Wood and Stephen Campbell. We would like the Board to approve these items as part of our Committee’s Rules and Regulations. ALAC Ways & Means: Due to the past National purchases and substantial inventory which we still have, as well as contacting the promotional contact, Judi, and receiving the prices and overwhelming S/H charges which would not be at this time be beneficial to ALAC - and selling the items there are still multiple items left from last year’s purchase for the National which we believed would be would sell well but did not. Judges Selection for National Specialties: An initial ballot is mailed to the membership with an explanation how the election process is being conducted. At this time each member may vote for up to ten persons and return within the stated deadline. The top ten judges with the most votes will be contacted for availability and agree to fees and restrictions, in the order to votes received, until we have four who are willing and available. A final ballot is sent out to the membership with the four available and the top two selected will judge the National, number one and the ALAC Regional, number two. Each member may vote for up to two judges. The only item purchased this year are Lhasa Apso Windchimes 10 will be sent to Marsha - I will prepay s/h to her - and submit a expense report. Windchimes are online at $35.95 - price to be determined by Marsha & Barbara - as of the time of this email - it has not be designated. PS: I saw a great bag which we could iron on- the image of the LHASA APSO - I will later on contact Judi re: bags as well the contact person who prepared to ALAC Logo for the T-shirts to seek out a good deal and possibliy more interest in our items. Judges Fees: Judges will be paid a fee of $300.00 for judging the show, plus the club will reimburse for domestic air fare, hotel for a maximum of two nights, meals, airport parking. If driving, the judge will be reimbursed for gas at the IRS most recent stated rate. I suggest that if possible the ALAC webiste would have a “shop store” wherein our member and even those which just stop in to view have the option of purchasing the items which we have. Publishing Voting Tallies: The results of the voting for the National Specialty Judges will be as follows: The results of the final ballot will be published with the total votes cast and the number of votes received for each of the two judges selected to judge. Amber Chaviano, Chairperson ALAC Ways & Means Website Marsha requested photos to put up. The Bulletin is now on-line. Approved Board minutes are in the members section. New titles are published. They are working on a shopping cart feature. A question was raised about putting the old awards videos on the web site. National Show Committee: Under the umbrella of the steering committee we recommend a permanent committee, which will consist of show chair, trophy, ways and means, hospitality, advertising, hotel negotiations and the possibility of a local club liaison if applicable, as well as other pertinent members. Yearbook I only have 12 ads for 2009, so will assume I will be doing at least a two year. I will be bringing the checks to the National to give to Marsha. So if you want to make an announcement that I will STILL take 2009 ads if people are so inclined, that will be fine. We still may get a few more. Stephen Campbell, Chairperson NSSC Susan explained the new procedure to select judges: it cuts the number of ballots from 3 ballots to 2. The regions ballot determined that there will be 3 regions. The board approved a request to reinstate a permanent specialty committee. Respectfully submitted: Carla Varney 43 American Lhasa Apso Club Annual General Meeting Response to member inquiries. Minutes American Lhasa Apso Club Brief Board Meeting 10/13/11 Linda Byrne had asked to the board to explain why Edd Biven was not judging the national in 2012 when he was elected in the judge selection balloting. Barbara explained that she had mistakenly copied the wrong dates in contacting and in the contract. Unfortunately, when the mistake was discovered he was not available for the correct dates. The meeting was called to order at 4:53 PM by President Barbara Schwartz. The purpose of the meeting was to comply with the bylaws requirement that the newly elected board hold a brief meeting following the election. The new Board assumes their responsibilities as of November 1, 2011. The schedule for Board meetings for the coming year was set. In response to questions regarding the failure of Onofrio to send premiums to all the members, Barbara explained that this is being pursued with Onofrio and we hope for some resolution; possibly financial. They clearly failed to perform that part of their job. Attendees: Barbara Schwartz, Marsha Susag, Clay Williams, Jan Graunke, Bobbie Wood, Joyce Johanson, Jan Bruton, Susan Giles, Vickie Kuhlman, Ann Burton, Bev Simms. Absent: Steve Campbell, Ray Sledzik, Naomi Hanson The meeting was adjourned at 4:45PM.

APSOLUTELY ON CRUISE CONTROL “CRUISER” NOV. 17, 2009 - DEC 17, 2011 People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life — like loving everybody all the time and being nice. Dogs already know how to do that, so they don’t have to stay as long.” Cruiser took his delightful attitude into the show ring with great success, and brought his funny loveable personality, his irrepressible enthusiasm into our hearts and homes. He had a shining future ahead of him with his new co-owners Patrick and Jeannie Clary, who loved him with all their hearts. Sadly fate snatched him away before he could even start. We miss his joy of life, his silliness, and all he could have been and done. Goodbye sweet boy, in our hearts forever. Breeder/Co-owner Shirley M.
