[email protected] Dear Members These past few months have proved to be a trying time for our Club and its members. The suspension from the California State Franchise Tax Board caused delays on elections, voting and business in general. Fortunately we were able to work through this difficult period and move on. I thank those of you who were patient and understanding throughout this ordeal. The Memphis Specialty is fast approaching and the opportunity once again for our members to enjoy a venue with a complete set of classes for Conformation, Junior Showmanship, Agility, Rally and Obedience, not to mention the new “Cut Down” section. It just won’t be the same without our Past President, Carl C Yochum, front and center. His passing has left a huge void both in our Club and within our Breed. He had a genuine passion for our dogs, their health and the future of the Breed. Carl wore so many hats and wore them all so well! Much discussion has ensued both pro and con with relation to the workings of the Board. It is imperative that members know we utilize the Constitution and By‐Laws as our guidelines and our goal is, and always has been, for the good of the Club, our members and our Breed. The time has come for new people to take their place on the Board as others leave us. I wish to personally thank Barbara Bedstead, Lisa Bridgewater, Bill Hinds, Julie Howard and Pamela Wengorovious for all their years of dedication, expertise and hard work. Each and every one of them has contributed so much to this Club and they will be greatly missed. Members should become more involved with our Club by volunteering for a job. Specialties cannot be produced without the hard work of many people and the list of those gets smaller every year. In order to partake of the event, you should be willing to give up some time to assist wherever needed. It is through working together that we accomplish our goals. Two weeks before he passed, my father stated: “I am but a poor man but so incredibly rich with the love of my family”. Those words can apply to each and every one of us in our daily lives. Remember what is important and strive to treat your fellow man as you wish to be treated. See ya’ll in Memphis! Cheryl

The AKC has approved the Conformation show and judge, Sweepstakes and judge, both Agility Trials and judge, and both Obedience Trials and judge to be held in Olive Branch, MS in September 2013. The two Rally Trials and judge are still pending. TREASURER’S REPORT: Treasurer Farrar reported that the checking account currently has a balance of $39,353.69, and the Money Market has a balance of $73,090.86.

The treasurer will be closing the Fiscal Year by the end of this week and everything will be to the accountant by June 15th to file the Corporate and State Taxes. COMMITTEE REPORTS: Breeder Referral: The Breeder Referral Committee has made the change to their proposal that was requested. No action was taken. By‐Laws Committee: The Board considered instituting a reduced price for the dues of members who are senior citizens. Barb Bedsted is going to look into how many members it would affect before a decision is made. The Board is ready to appoint a new By‐Laws Committee composed of five of the members who have volunteered to be on the committee. President Rangel will personally contact each one to be sure they are still interested before the appointments are announced. Roving Specialty Committee: Charlie Farrar is going to have the Memphis Planning Book added to the temporary website. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Peeling Medallions: Treasurer Farrar is working on getting the problem of the peeling medallions rectified. Medallions: The New Title Medallions will be mailed automatically. Members do not have to apply for them. Members may opt out of receiving them. They will be sent to the owner, but will not be sent to the breeder. 6
NEW BUSINESS: Website: The Website Committee sent the Board a Power Point presentation showing some samples of color combinations,
rotating images, fade in and out pictures that can be used on the new website. The Board liked what they saw. The new site will be easy to navigate
and have a very professional look.
Lifetime Membership: Lisa Bridgewater made a motion, seconded by Bill Hinds, that Carl C. Yochum be made a Lifetime Member of the YTCA

Respectfully submitted, Robert Owen, Secretary June 17, 2013 The YTCA, Inc. met via telephone conference call. Board members present: Cheryl Rangel, Julie Howard, Robert Owen, Charlie Farrar, Barb Bedsted, Lisa Bridgewater, Carolyn Hensley, Bill Hinds and Pamela Wengorovius. President Rangel called the meeting to order at 8:14 P. M. EST. MINUTES: The minutes from the May 28, 2013 Board Meeting have been unanimously approved by Hard Copy Vote. SECRETARY’S REPORT: Secretary Owen reported receiving the resignation of Joanie Carl from the Performance and Companion Events Committee. A proposal was received suggesting a member to be named a Lifetime Member. The proposal was tabled at this time since the Board has other requests for Lifetime status under consideration. The AKC has approved both Rally Trials and judge to be held in Olive Branch, MS in September 2013. All the events and judges have now been approved. A request was received asking for permission for the Yorkshire Terrier Club of Northern California to hold their next specialty show. TREASURER’S REPORT: Treasurer Farrar reported that the checking account currently has a balance of $38,318.12, and the Money Market has a balance of $73,106.38. The $500.00 donation was made to the AKC Companion Animal Recovery Canine Support and Relief Fund for the Oklahoma disaster. The Treasurer is preparing the end of year report and should have it finished later this week. The June 4th deposit ran into a bit of trouble. It was sent via USPS Priority Mail to the bank in Frankfort, IL. Part of the checks reached the bank, others were returned to the check writers, and Kathy Weems received part of them along with checks written to AT&T and the State of Illinois which were not written by YTCA and a Kohl’s gift card. All checks had been endorsed for deposit to the bank and reference YTCA account but not the account number. A copy of all checks was made prior to taking them to the post office so I have a record of exactly what was sent. Members whose checks did not make it to the Bank or Kathy, are being contacted. COMMITTEE REPORTS: DQ Committee: Lisa Bridgewater reported on the Opinion Survey on the DQ Wording. At this time Wording #1 is slightly ahead. By‐Laws Committee: The Board is ready to appoint a new By‐Laws Committee composed of four of the members who have volunteered to be on the committee. President Rangel has personally contacted each one to be sure they are still interested. The Board approved Marsha Greene, Marie Kaufman‐Cardona, Pam Langstein and Sharon McCadam to serve on the By‐Laws Committee. President Rangel will inform them of their approval. Roving Specialty Committee: Charlie Farrar reported the Roving Specialty Committee has secured Eddie Dzuik to give a presentation on CHIC, and Royal Canin will have a booth at the Memphis Specialty. The committee will hold another meeting before the end of the month. UNFINISHED BUSINESS: Website: Ken Lambert, Chair, sent a Mock‐Up of the latest version of the new website for the Board to review. The Board is pleased and feels this version is on the right track. It looks very professional and impressive. 8
NEW BUSINESS: Questionnaires With Ballots: Since there is a new candidate on the ballot running from the floor, the Board approved sending
all the candidates questionnaires in the election ballot.
Seating of New Board: The CPA will be given one week after the election closes to count and confirm the votes. All the candidates will be notified
of the results at that time and will officially take office on Friday, August 9, 2013.
Memphis Rosettes: The rosettes for Memphis were discussed, and Barb Bedsted said it is possible to have a Yorkie pictured on the central button
with the AKC letters on the main streamer. The Board liked this idea. Pam Wengrovious will take care of the Companion Events rosettes.
AKC Brochure: The new Yorkshire Terrier brochure that the AKC will start sending out was discussed. The website address that will appear on
the brochure will be www.ytca.org. YTCA Rescue is working on creating a website and their website address will also be included. This brochure
can also be used for Public Education.
Ladies Series of Prints: The Secretary will send a letter to Lisa Thornberg, artist of the Lady Series of Prints, releasing her from any verbal
commitment made with the club in which it was understood that the series of prints would be exclusively offered only through the YTCA.
Website Contacts: Ken Lambert has requested that the Board should start considering who the contacts will be for the website.
There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at 8:59 P. M. EST.
Respectfully submitted, Robert Owen, Secretary 9

Wordswehatetohear
By Gloria Bloch‐Robinson Canyouseethoseeyes?Don’ttheyjustbegyoutohelpher?
This is Suzie Tu Tu. We met late one afternoon after receiving a call to pick her up from
a veterinarian’s office. Suzie had two broken front legs, supposedly caused from being
mistreated by children who had been allowed to play roughly with her. She looked so sad and
although we knew we didn’t have enough money in our Rescue account to pay for the surgery,
we wrapped her up in our arms and took her home. There was no way we could deny those
beautiful pleading eyes!
Suzie was 18 months old and very thin although she appeared healthy enough so we
guessed she had been run ragged by children playing. The father of this family had brought her
into the veterinarian who had temporarily splinted the broken legs but informed him that surgery
performed by a veterinary specialist would be necessary. He promptly said “put her down, I
can’t afford surgery”. We in Rescue and this veterinarian hate those words! Unless there is no
hope, unless a dog is in pain, unless there is no other option, we never utter those words.
First stop was an orthopedic veterinarian who assessed the situation, took x-rays, and
made appointments for surgery. Second action was to figure out just how we were going to
fund this surgery and we were really wringing our hands over this one. We didn’t reckon on
Yorkie folks. Once the word got out about Suzie, we started receiving donations from clubs,
other rescue groups, and folks who had adopted previous rescue Yorkies. Soon we were only
short a few hundred dollars, so we asked YTCA Rescue for assistance and they graciously
helped us out. Little Suzie was scheduled for the operation and we eagerly looked forward to
her surgery.
Suzie came home to my house after the surgery where I could keep an eye on her and saw
to her immediate needs. She was such a jewel to care for and soon learned to walk on her casts.
As she walked, her little steps sounded like Spanish castanets clicking as she tip tip tipped along.
Day by day, she grew stronger and gradually gained weight.
19
Everyone in Rescue was looking for just the right person to adopt Suzie and with the help
of one of our Rescue team members (Judy Vukmanich), we did indeed find the right person.
This lady already had one of our Rescue dogs and wanted another so the two could play together.
When Suzie was well enough, we took her to visit this potential new owner and Suzie took to the
new family like a duck to water. But Suzie had a long way to go before we could release her.
She had to be thoroughly checked out health-wise and we still had to get the casts removed. It
was several weeks before we could accomplish all this.
The new owner was adamant she wanted Suzie as soon as possible. When the
veterinarian said Suzie appeared to be healthy, it was just a matter of waiting until the casts came
off – still the new owner was anxious. So Suzie went to her new home complete with casts on
and we received daily reports of her progress. These progress reports continued for weeks until
her casts were removed.
We also heard a few months later that one of the surgeries didn’t “knit” properly so Suzie
had yet another surgery. The new owner was so in love with little Suzie her only objective was
to get her well enough to play happily with her other dog – and now they do.
Here is a picture of Suzie a few years later – now look at Suzie’s eyes. Don’t they just
spell “happiness” to you-- and, isn’t that a smile on her face?
Note: A Special Thank You to YTCA Rescue who helped with the surgery expenses for Suzie during this difficult time. 20
DELEGATE REPORT JUNE 9-11, 2013
RALEIGH, NC
On Monday morning, June 10, at 9:00 a.m., I attended the Parent Club Committee meeting. There was a lengthy discussion of the new Parent Club of Excellence Award/designation. The purpose of this new program will be to encourage Breeder of Merit participation, increase club membership, and foster an emphasis on health and testing for all parent clubs. It is not to be viewed as a competition between clubs, but rather something that all clubs can aspire to attain. There will be a total of 164 points possible under the current proposal. Fifteen points will be organizational‐‐‐do your bylaws and Code of Ethics comply with the AKC standards? Increasing membership annually will account for ten points, and BOM participation at a certain level will also account for ten points. Clubs encouraging and rewarding full litter registration will be five points. Programs for juniors (scholarships and awards) will be five points. Judges education programs and activities will account for twenty points, and member education will be ten. Having a parent club brochure to go to new registrants in the breed will be two. There will be twenty‐four points based on health and welfare, including mandatory CHIC testing and funding health research. Other points will be awarded for rescue, participating in Meet the Breed, having an official website, and having a club‐monitored official e‐list. Offering conformation, obedience, rally, agility, and any other event the breed participates in normally will also award points. The Complete Dog is nearly complete and being sent to the clubs for page proofs. All photos are due at this time or AKC will select from their own available photos. A total of 8400 CGC titles have now been awarded, with an average of 200 to 300 coming in weekly. Eighteen percent of those requesting the title are also registering the dog at the same time, so it is also giving a boost to registrations. E‐balloting through approved third‐party firms will be approved, likely by September. To utilize this clubs will need to ascertain first if it is allowed by the corporate laws in their state of incorporation and would then need to amend their bylaws by the necessary vote to implement it. It could result in significant savings to clubs. There was also discussion that many people applying for BOM status were doing so without complying with the health testing requirements (CHIC) for their respective club, and AKC was going to be having staff investigate this for misrepresentations and also possible changes in the requirements to get the designation, including supplying proof of the various elements. The most exciting news coming out of the Parent Club Committee meeting was the announcement that AKC and CAR (AKC’s Companion Animal Recovery) are going to be launching Emergency Response disaster assistance trailers around the country. The trailers will carry the AKC logo on them, along with the logo of the club sponsoring the trailer. Trailers will cost $17,000 to $20,000 fully equipped. We had the opportunity to see the first one (sponsored by the Chinese Crested Club and headed to Oklahoma City immediately after the meeting!), and it was amazing! This will allow AKC to get supplies to any disaster in a matter of mere hours instead of 48 to 72 hours under the present conditions. The trailers 21
will be maintained and staffed by state or local authorities and veterinary associations. But with the AKC and club logos prominently displayed, this will not only be a great way to help animals around the country during disasters, but also a wonderful public relations opportunity to show the country all the good that AKC is doing. More details to come in September!! I then attended the Perspectives committee meeting on which I serve. This meeting is held during the lunch break for other delegates. We discussed what articles we already had and what ones were being authored by the committee members or being solicited by them for the upcoming September issue. I am writing an article on how breeders choose names for their litters. I have also solicited an article on the new Companion Animal Emergency Relief trailers, being written by one of the task force members. The Dog Show Rule Committee meeting was at 1:00 p.m. The major discussion at this meeting was about the existing rules on territories for all‐breed and regional clubs. There were three options being considered: 1—no change; 2—tweak it to provide that if a club fails to hold their show in their territory for three years, then the territory is declared vacant and can be used by any club; or 3‐‐‐remove all territory restrictions and allow clubs to hold shows wherever they choose. Although the new provision for the award of a three point major at parent club nationals does not currently require it to be published in the premium list as to whether this is being offered, there is a proposal to add such a requirement for the future. There was also discussion on changing some of the rules on Judge Eligibility and Judging Conflict, including removing a number of restrictions concerning other employment. I attended the Delegate Caucus at 3:40 p.m. A delegate suggested that we start the committee meetings an hour earlier (8 a.m.) and shorten each meeting from 2 ½ to 2 hours to enable there to be an opportunity to attend three committee meetings instead of the present two. There was again discussion of moving the meetings to Sunday/Monday instead of the present Monday/Tuesday. There was much discussion about the NBC Fox interview. The Dock and Crop meeting at 4:30 p.m. was to discuss the fact that the Eukanuba World Challenge, although held in the U.S. in Orlando, Florida, utilized FCI standards for their judging. Per AKC’s own rules judging must be done by the standard in effect for the breed in the country where the show is held, with the exception of breeds not recognized yet in that country, in which cases another standard would obviously be allowed. It was also emphasized that all parent clubs with docked and/or cropped breeds need to reply in writing declining the Crufts certificates for their breed at their national and at Eukanuba due to Crufts refusal to recognize the parent clubs’ breed standards. The Coordinating Committee was from 5 to 6 p.m. I missed the first part of this meeting due to the Dock and Crop meeting running past 5 p.m. The Bylaws committee reported that it was proposing a change to the delegate eligibility requirements and would have a complete proposal soon. The Canine Health Committee reported that they are nearly done with their proposed changes to the Breeder of Merit program to require more stringent health requirements for this designation with more oversight and policing of the program to prevent misrepresentations. The Delegate Advocacy Committee reported that they were recommending to the Board that we have the June and September 22
meetings on Sunday and Monday and the March meeting on Monday and Tuesday. The Herding, Earthdog and Coursing Committee reported on the fact that Barn Hunt were going well and seemed to be gaining in popularity quickly. The general delegate meeting was called to order at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, June 11. There was a Forum at this meeting, one being a speaker on estate planning for your pets and the other a mediator discussing the use of mediation to resolve disputes between owners/breeders or between co‐owners of dogs. I found it interesting to hear their views on these topics that I am also personally involved in and also speak about. The Chairman’s Report by Alan Kalter dealt with what AKC is doing to counter the recent media attack by NBC. He stated that if you don’t like what someone is saying, you have to change the conversation. AKC is now working to promote their social media game on Facebook and had gotten 300,000 likes in 90 days and had gone from 4,000 to 80,000 active participants in 90 days. They are running dog photo contests weekly as well to engage the public. There have also been 130,000 visitors to the new AKC blog. AKC has just hired the Edelman firm to do all of their future public relations and is promising to invest the necessary capital to reach the public with AKC’s message. President Dennis Sprung reported that our facebook activity is increasing rapidly, with a 251% increase in the past month. Gina DiNardo announced the plans for the Breeder to Breeder Conference at Eukanuba this year on December 12 and 13. It will feature free seminars on genetics, pedigrees, whelping, and many other topics of interest to AKC breeders. For those unable to attend in person, the seminars will also be taped and available to view online. The new Chief Financial Officer presented our 2013 results to date. Revenues were up and expenses were down, although registrations were still down by 8% from the same period the prior year. The matters to be voted on at the meeting were as follows: 1.
2.
Amendment to Article VII, Section 1, of the Charter and Bylaws, to prohibit any former AKC employee from serving on the Board of Directors. Prior to the vote being taken, a proviso was offered to provide that the amendment would not apply to any currently seated board members for their current term and one additional term. The proviso passed, but the main amendment still failed. a field trial amendment to Chapter 14, new section 18A passed. Meeting was adjourned thereafter. 23

Do you know how many teeth the normal adult dog has? This was just one question in the
quiz presented at the Welcome Party hosted by the YTCA Foundation on May 29th at the
Central Florida Specialties. There were twenty questions, and no one got them all correct.
Mary Ackerman, however, got the most correct answers and won the $100 prize. A door
prize of a gift card for Macy’s was also drawn and won by Laura Lombardo. The Foundation
also held a silent auction at the specialties, and raised close to $600 toward this year’s
research studies. A special Thank You to all who participated.
Foundation Board member Cindy Garrett orchestrated the event, supported by Linda Grimm,
Doreen Hubbard, Deloras Maas, Suzette Heider and Gloria Robinson. Talented people put
together the decorations, a selection of wonderful food, and an open bar duly attended by a
cocktail expert who made us all happy.
This was a first attempt for the Foundation to host such an event but several Board
members decided to personally fund the party as a way of thanking Yorkie folk for
contributing their time, effort and money to veterinary studies and research. A storyboard
was displayed showing the Foundation’s accomplishments over the last twenty years, and
also provided an opportunity for Yorkie enthusiasts to voice their concerns.
Participant breeder/exhibiters were asked to give the YTCA Foundation a list of their
suggested areas for further research support. From the results it appears that GME is very
much one of the top concerns, followed by Collapsing Trachea, PLE, Leg Calves Perthes,
and, of course, the genetic marker for Liver Shunt. As we have learned over the past
several years, there is very little research being done on GME and Collapsing Trachea. This is
because these conditions are either terminal or untreatable so researchers have little hope
of being able to offer anything to the affected dogs. In the past the Foundation has
supported research on PLE, Legg Calves Perthes and Liver Shunt, but so far nothing has
come out of this research to really help either the dogs or the breeders.
As frustrating as this situation can be for everyone concerned, what the Foundation CAN do
is to support research that will make a difference in dogs' lives. Currently there is a major
push in the U.S. to support veterinary research on canine cancer that kills almost 90% of
dogs affected by an illness. Additionally what is discovered in canine research often helps
humans, too. So we are actively looking at supporting some of this research for 2013.
Thank you to all who attended the event, and by the way, the normal adult dog has 42 teeth.

DISASTEREVACUATIONPROCEDURES
1.
In the case of a severe weather storm or other instances not including a fire evacuation, leave your room
immediately and head for the nearest stairwell. DO NOT USE THE ELEVATORS
2. Go to the lowest level of the hotel and wait for further instructions
3. Do not stand near any windows
32
4. Utilize the same system for removing your dogs from the room (a large pillowcase) unless you are able to
carry the crate with you. Take your room key
5. Follow instructions from hotel management and/or fire and police personnel
DOGEVACUATIONPROCEDURES
1.
In the case of a fire or other evacuation, have a king size pillowcase nearby. Place as many dogs as possible
in the pillowcase and twist the top. This will enable you to carry them out of the building safely. There is no
chance of suffocation to the dogs inside the case
2.
It’s a good idea to keep a few leads inside the case. When you reach the outside you have some way to keep
control of the animals
3. Do not endanger your life or the lives of others in your room by spending time searching for your dogs. If
they are properly penned or crated, you should be able to gather them quickly and easily
HOSPITALITY
A Hospitality Room will be set up on Wednesday afternoon through Thursday afternoon. Room number will

Official Standard of the Yorkshire Terrier
As with all purebred dogs recognized by the American Kennel Club, there
is an approved Breed Standard for Yorkshire Terriers. This standard of
perfection is a written description of how the ideal Yorkshire Terrier should
look. All responsible breeders strive to produce dogs that conform to this
Breed Standard. Yorkshire Terriers with major deviations from that Standard
in appearance should not be bred.
General Appearance
That of a long-haired toy terrier whose blue and tan coat is parted on the face and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail
and hangs evenly and quite straight down each side of body. The body is neat, compact and well proportioned. The dog's high
head carriage and confident manner should give the appearance of vigor and self importance.
Head
Small and rather flat on top, the skull not too prominent or round, the muzzle not too long, with the bite neither undershot nor
overshot and teeth sound. Either scissors bite or level bite is acceptable. The nose is black. Eyes are medium in size and not too
prominent; dark in color and sparkling with a sharp, intelligent expression. Eye rims are dark. Ears are small, V-shaped, carried
erect and set not too far apart.
Body
Well proportioned and very compact. The back is rather short, the back line level, with height at shoulder the same as at the
rump.
Legs and Feet
Forelegs should be straight, elbows neither in nor out. Hind legs straight when viewed from behind, but stifles are moderately
bent when viewed from the sides. Feet are round with black toenails. Dew claws, if any, are generally removed from the hind
legs. Dew claws on the forelegs may be removed.
Tail
Docked to a medium length and carried slightly higher than the level of the back.
Coat
Quality, texture and quantity of coat are of prime importance. Hair is glossy, fine and silky in texture. Coat on the body is
moderately long and perfectly straight (not wavy). It may be trimmed to floor length to give ease of movement and a neater
appearance, if desired. The fall on the head is long, tied with one bow in center of head or parted in the middle and tied with two
bows. Hair on muzzle is very long. Hair should be trimmed short on tips of ears and may be trimmed on feet to give them a neat
appearance.
Colors
Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they
are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the
following color requirements apply: BLUE: Is a dark steel blue, not a silver blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black
hairs. TAN: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty
or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.
Color on Body
The blue extends over the body from back of neck to root of tail. Hair on tail is a darker blue, especially at end of tail.
Head fall
A rich golden tan, deeper in color at sides of head, at ear roots and on the muzzle, with ears a deep rich tan. Tan color should not
extend down on back of neck.
Chest and Legs
A bright, rich tan, not extending above the elbow on the forelegs nor above the stifle on the hind legs.
Weight Must not exceed seven pounds.
Disqualification
Any solid color or combination of colors other than blue and tan as described above. Any white markings other than a small
white spot on the forechest that does not exceed 1 inch at its longest dimension.

the interests of the Yorkshire Terrier in the manner reflecting
credit to myself, the Breed, and the Club. I agree to comply
with all AKC Rules and regulations.
While understanding that the circumstances facing each

strive to achieve.
The code is intended to provide each member fundamental
behavior principles which will guide the Club, the Yorkshire

CODE OF CONDUCT
1) Assistance and encouragement shall be willingly offered by members to Show Novices

in the future.
2) All dogs will be kept under safe and sanitary conditions, be given proper nutrition,
protection, and maximum health care including regular inoculations as advised by the
member's veterinarian.
3) Healthy spacing between litters will be a priority and unspayed bitches will be protected
from unplanned matings. Bitches will in no case be bred before their second heat or
before they are at least eighteen (18) months of age, whichever comes first, nor be
placed at risk by an unreasonable number of cesarean sections and then only with the
concurrence of a veterinarian.

enterprises nor sold to disreputable breeders, and neither puppies, adult dogs, nor stud
services will be offered as prizes or for raffles.
5) Prospective buyers will be screened as thoroughly as possible to determine their intent,
as well as their ability and interest in providing a safe, adequate, loving environment and
a long term relationship with a puppy or adult dog.
6) All puppies and dogs offered for sale will be sold with written sales agreements to include
clear terms and conditions and be signed by the seller and buyer. The contract will

types of a minimum of two (2) inoculations, as well as dates of wormings, grooming
instructions, etc. and be available to offer future advice as needed.

AKC approved foreign registry, healthy, mature dogs and bitches, respectively, and only

hereditary defects. Stud service will be refused for any mating which is considered to not
be in the best interest of the breed which includes dogs and bitches with Q Registration
in their pedigrees, and dogs and bitches of any color, or combination of colors not
specified in the standard. Members will not sell dogs of such colors as exotic or rare.
