131SS CU. liVLAN SUOTRU FULL OF DREAMS Our dreams come true! www.roanshotru.com IF YOU LOVE YOUR "BABY" DOG. THEN FEED HIM THE FINEST DOG FOOD IN THE WORLD

Dogs 35 pounds or under, need special care. These little mouths, small stomachs, short digestion tracts, and high metabolism, require knowledge from both regular and holistic training. Oriental dogs( Pekes, Shihtzu, Shiba mu, Lhasas, Pugs), Arctic dogs (Poms, American Eskimos), dogs from England, Scotland and Ireland (Spaniels, Terriers, bird dogs) as well as water dogs, Poodles, Cotons, and, Maltese, fit into this category. Mini schnauzers, and, Chihuahuas, are also included. All these dogs were fed a fish-based diet, as well as the sea vegetation nutrients available in our Solid Gold Sea Meal. Our Solid Gold dry dog food called "Just a Wee Bit", for small mouths has free range bison, which are not given any hormones, are not dehorned, not castrated and are fed free range healthy grass. Our salmon is not farmed, since farmed salmon may contain Genetically Modified Corn. We use only wild, hook-and-line caught salmon from Alaskan cold waters. All of the above named breeds must be fed a fish-based dog food since this supports his genome (think DHA)of the body. Otherwise the immunity enzyme or hormone systems of the body suffer. All Solid Gold Dog Foods are fish-based. Solid Gold never uses (also known as lecithin), , or corn, which causes allergies in dogs. It causes them to chew at the root of the tail or lick their feet. Solid Gold uses amaranth, , and . We do not use animal/poultry fats, which may be rancid. We use the healthy flax/canola oils. We never use sunflower oil, which the Swedish National Cancer Society warns may increase the risk of cancer by 69%. Solid Gold "Just a Wee Bit" contains 28% protein. No matter the age of the dog, the small dog's higher metabolism does better with a higher protein food. Look for the pink hermetically/vacuumed sealed holographic bag. It has a white Westie on the front. Wee Bit comes in a 4-pound or 15-pound bags, the kibble is small and about 1/4 inch across. Introduce Wee Bits gradually with the old food. Our treat for the "baby" dog is called Tiny Tots for the little mouth. It is a soft lamb bone-shaped treat, great for training. It can easily be broken into pieces. All dogs love Tiny Tots. They are in a one-pound bright orange bag with a yellow sun. The bag is re-sealable. Most treats are only it 44 4 ounces. Tiny Tots is a whole pound. So, if you love your "baby" dog, feed him Wee Bits. It is available at animal supply stores, or directly from Solid Gold. For larger dogs, use our Wolf King or Wolf Cub. The formula is the same, only with larger pieces and with less protein.

"Rash! 137 dry dog food brands were recalled for killing over 5,500 dogs and causing 300,000 to be come ill. Only seven dry dog food brands were not recalled. Solid Gold was one of the seven."

Leslie Baumann has led this organization for several years and her tenure has seen a I encourage everyone to contact myself or any officer number of initiatives to benefit our breed.

Bud is a seasoned veteran of the board, [email protected] having served in the past, and Sherry, as an exhibitor and 817-875-8513 an AKC licensed judge, will bring a new vision to the reigning officers and board of directors... .

For the past number of years we have seen the numbers of breeders and exhibitors decrease in our breed. I be- lieve that it is important that we promote the Lhasa Apso to the general public and to willingly encourage and accept new people into our fold, teaching and mentoring them along the way, whether their interest be breeding, performance, or simply owning this delightful breed as an intelligent companion and best friend. In today's technological world, the Internet is a source of unlimited potential in promoting the Lhasa Apso, whether to impart information on its acquisition or care, as well as to pro- mote the American Lhasa Apso Club. I would like to see ALAC expand on the potential offered by the Internet, including upgrading the ALAC website. It is important that the Officers and Board of Directors received input from the membership as to the direction that the club should take. Leslie Baumann established ALAConline to get information to the membership in a timely manner. I am hoping to develop an online list in which the Board can receive direct input on matters of JoAnne _flays importance regarding decisions before the board. In this came to the National to see way, the Board can be kept abreast of the feelings of the all her old friends. entire membership. Open communications can only be It was a wonderful visit!

Items like the awards plaques are quite expensive and Kathy Fallon wondered whether there E-Mail might be a less expensive way to do awards. The cost of Leslie began the discussion by saying we had to think of the McCartney t-shirts was also discussed - there may be a conducting board business by e-mail and communicating less expensive t-shirt as well. The IRS penalty ($1895.10) via e-mail as two separate things. Lately there have been assessed earlier for late filing of the 2004 taxes has been problems with servers that have been preventing board returned by IRS with interest.

At the moment, ALAC Pat's Judges' Education report, she explained the new AKC is 501C7 which means we cannot solicit from outside the requirement for a 90 minute breed seminar for prospective membership for more than 35% of our income or we lose Lhasa judges, as well as mentoring guidelines for those our exemption.

It might be helpful to establish an ad of input from the membership, the ALAConline disseminates hoc committee to include possibly 3 members from each information already decided upon.

"Mi key" "Penny" "Winston" "Parke MEET THE BREEDS AKC INVITATIONAL 2007 4TH PLACE By Linda Groover, Susan Vaughn & Bud Brockway

... or should we say, Meet the Lhasa Apso! The ALAC booth at this year's AKC/ Eukanuba Meet the Breeds was a huge success! It was exciting and extremely informative. Susan Vaughn, dressed in an authentic Tibetan outfit, was the hit of the show and made the photo layout on the AKC website; we had several informative handouts, videos, Tibetan banners, prayer flags, photographs taken in Tibet of the people and the dogs, and much, much more! The booth had a constant flow of people interested in finding out more about our breed, and the dogs on display interacted with both adults and children, leaving no doubt in anyone's mind as to the Apso's true character and awesome personality. We were visited not only by the AKC president and several AKC representatives, but we were able to meet Parkir (the agility dog) and his handler and owner... what a fabulous dog! And our booth was filmed by at least three different camera crews. Could we ask for anything more!? It was a very exciting and rewarding weekend... all of our hard work and planning was well worth the end result!

We would like to thank the following people for their contribution, without which the booth would not have been the success it was. Contributions include articles written by them, photographs provided and/or taken by them,

Vickie Kuhlmann Leslie Baumann Cathy Marley Debby Rothman Pat Keen-Fernandez Carolyn Herbel Roberta Lombardi Dave Reed Marsha Susag Bobbie Wood

We would also like to thank Darby McSorley for her tireless energy and for being at the booth all day, both days. Her assistance was invaluable.

And last, but not least, we would like to thank the Lhasas (and their owners) for their time and for showing the public the true spirit and personality of the Lhasa Apso... American Lhasa Apso Club Anatol Meseig
