PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

My sincere thanks to all the ALAC members who responded to the Survey. As I write

this there is still time before the deadline so I hope to receive many more even though the

response has been far better than I had expected. I am so pleased with the many honest,

straightforward and thoughtful replies. Even without complete response to the survey I can

tell you that the leading request is for more up to date and complete communication be-

tween the officers, board members, committee chairmen and the general membership. I con-

tinue to request that all committee chairmen as well as officers and board members answer

any correspondence they receive immediately, however, if you do not receive an answer to

your questions in a reasonable amount of time please write to me and I will attempt to help

you get an answer. I also would encourage any person who is too short on time to answer

correspondence, to either not accept a position in the club or if holding a position considerresigning. It is very discouraging to me to continue to receive letters and comments from

members stating that they have contacted ALAC and did not get a response. PLEASEANSWER CORRESPONDENCE—and this applies to any letters sent to the membership by

the officers, board members and committee heads as well.The second request at this time is the desire for educational material published by ALAC.

This varies from advice for pet owners to an explanation of the standard. An often requested

need is that of information about grooming and training. It is my desire that in the futuremany small pamphlets will be developed on these specific subjects and others that are re-quested.

In answer to the question about the selection of judges for our ALAC National Specialty,

a majority answered that they would like the original list of nominees to be made by the

general members, not the Board of Directors. Another comment made by the majority was

that they would prefer that officers and board members not judge the Specialty and somewent as far as to include that to be any ALAC member.

In response to the question concerning the changing of the Standard the most usedanswer is the desire to have an ALAC Official Interpretation in lieu of making any changesto the standard.

Many responses have given excellent ideas for new projects and ways to improve presentprojects. Many volunteers will no doubt be requested to participate in the activities ofALAC. May I suggest, however, that no one accept a position unless they intend to be activeand get work done on time. If you accept a position and at a later date find you cannotparticipate in a productive way we would appreciate your resigning rather than causing theposition to stagnate, thus hampering the progress of the project. With well over 500 membersin ALAC I believe that in such a case your job can be filled and you will have more respectfor resigning than to hold on and get the reputation of not doing a good job. I was verypleased with the honesty of many respondents who very openly siad they either did nothave time to volunteer or they did not feel qualified. I again thank those of you who careenough about ALAC to extend your ideas an opinions.

Of course there are differences of opinion on some subjects and the majority will getfirst consideration.

By the time you read this you will have received the minutes and committee reportsfrom the February 11, 1984 Board of Directors meeting. It is hoped that the new policy ofsubscribing to Bulk Mailing will help make more mailings to the membership affordable. Wesent these minutes by this method.

There are two inconveniences that we are concerned about. One is that there is a three tofour week delivery time. This is most cases, however, will get the minutes to you soonerthan if we wait for the BULLETIN. The second inconvenience is that the mail will not beforwarded nor will it be returned to us. Therefore we will not know if you did not receive it.This makes it very important for you to keep us informed if you change your address. Ifyou, through visiting with a friend, discover that a mailing has been made and you did notreceive it please contact the Secretary and she will send you a copy by First Class Mail to in-sure your getting it. We believe this will work because we have been assured by the variousmagazines that they have very few people who do not get discovery. It cuts our mailingcosts almost in half.

I hope you are making plans to attend the 1984 ALAC Annual Festivities in Houston inAugust. I will look forward to seeing you there!

NOTES ON OBEDIENCE

I recently received a few inquiries from people showng Lhasas in obedience who wereconfused as to whether the Lhasa could be shown with it's coat cut back. Seems that theword had been going around that the coat being cut back was altering the dog by artificialmeans.

To set the record straight, I contacted the Show Records Department of the AKC andaccording to Ms. Joyce Hogi of that department, "Please be advised that the cut back inObedience is not a disqualification". This letter along with other pertinent information hasbeen forwarded to the A LAC Secretary for future reference.

Although the showing of a cut back dog is not a disqualification in Obedience, I thinkthat most of us are of the opinion that a Lhasa should look like a Lhasa anything it is in thepublic eyes. Even though the hair is cut short, usually in a "Executive Cut", the dog shouldbe clean and groomed before entering the ring. This is not only to show our pride in owner-ship of the dog but to also show our pride in what "these hairy little fellows" have accom-plished in getting to the Obedience Trial.

Time is growing short in getting your favorite dog ready for the National Specialty inAugust and you should keep some other events in mind. There are also 3 other All Breedshows and Obedience Trials being held in the fabulous Astrohall (acres and acres of air con-ditioned show area and grooming space under 1 roof).

More on this should be getting out with the mailing on the Specialty. Make your plansnow for a great week starting with the National Specialty.

Dear Mr. Trujillo:

As per our telephone conversations, enclosed please find a copy of changes in appearanceby artificial means that require disqualification of a dog in the show/ring.

Please be advised that cut back in Obedience is not a disqualification. I hope this publica-tion is of help to you.

If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Very truly yours,

Futurity Report for the Spring Issue

The eligibility period for nominating litters for the 1984 Futurities has closed. For 1984,

the eligibility period was November 1, 1982 and extended through December 31, 1983 due

to the fiscal year change for A LAC. The eligibility period beginning with the 1985 Futurities

will be January 1st and ending December 31st.

A total of 183 litters were nominated for 1984 with a breakdown by regions as follows:

Region 1 (Eastern) 52 litters, Region II (Western) 45 litters, Region III (Midwest North) 43

litters and Region IV (Southern) 43 litters with 774 puppies eligible to compete. Can you

imagine the prize monies if only half of these puppies competed in the futurities? The

American Kennel Club reports that during 1983 there were 1,084 litters registered. Since all

dogs registered are eligible to enter the futurity, can you imagine the prize monies if only

half of the eligible litters were nominated? As a member of A LAC, encourage everyone you

know who has a litter to nominate their litter and support the futurity. At the same time,

you might also encourage them to join A LAC and support the National Club. A entry form

is included in each "ALAC Quarterly" for your convenience.

Subject to AKC approval, the 1984 Futurities will be held as follows:

Region I: July 2, 1984 in conjunction with Elmira Kennel Club, Horseheads, NY

Host Chairman: Nancy SehnertCentral New York Lhasa Apso Club

7349 Westgate Lane, Liverpool, NY 13088

Judge: Mrs. Georgia Palmer

Region II: June 23, 1984 in conjunction with Golden Gate Kennel Club, Daly City, CA

Host Chairman: Patricia ChenowethThe Lhasa Apso Club of Northern California

12510 Quito Road, Saratoga, CA 95070

Judge: Mrs. Valiene Weathers

Region III: July 27, 1984 in conjunction with the Greater Milwaukee Lhasa Apso Club,

"A Match", Greendale, WI

Host Chairman: Mr. Bob CooperThe Greater Milwaukee Lhasa Apso Club

4528 Garden Drive, Racine, WI 53403

Judge: Mr. Victor Cohen

Region IV: August 7, 1984 in conjunction with the National Specialty, Houston, TX

Host Chairman: Pam Lawson-HigginsLhasa Apso Club of Greater Houston

6631 Winding Trace Drive, Houston, TX 77086

Judge: Mrs. Winifred Graye

Contact any of the Host Chairmans should you need additional information, such as,

supporting shows, activities, etc. You will receive additional information from these chair-

mans for your Region; however, if you desire to enter in any Region other than the one in

which your litter was nominated; you will need to solicate information direct. The excep-

tion will be that all litters nominated will automatically receive information for Region IV

since it will be held in conjunction with the National Specialty.

Solicitation letters will be out shortly requesting Host for the 1984 Futurities. The

National Specialty will be held in Region I (Eastern) and will automatically host the futurity

for their region. If you are in any of the other three regions, consider hosting the 1985

Futurity in your region. It can be a fun experience!

SUPPORT the futurities. Let's make the prize monies really something to receive. Let's

make the Robert W. Griffing Memorial Plaque awarded the breeder of the Grand Futurity

Winner in each Region a dream of each and every breeder of Lhasa Apso.

Should you have any questions concerning the Futurities or have any suggestions, please

fell free to contact me. Just as a reminder, don't forget to get your nominations in within

90 days of whelp.

Respectfully submitted,

Bobbie Lee3

MOVEMENT/GAIT

For me, there is nothing more beautiful in the ring than a Lhasa Apso effortlessly trotting

out in front of his handler. Before I wrote Lhasa Lore, I spent much time studying Lhasa

movement both in the ring and out. In addition, I read and re-read Frances Sefton's descrip-

tion of the Lhasa Apsos' movement in her book The Lhasa Apso.I agree with Frances Sefton that the normal pace of the Lhasa is the trot, and since the

trot best reveals the character of his movement, it is the gait best for the showring. I would

like to quote her description of this movement: "When trotting, the Apso leads off with one

forefoot, then the hind leg on the opposite side, the other forefoot, and the second hind-foot. The weight is diagonally placed—that is, on one forefoot and the opposite hind foot,although for a fraction of a second when the weight changes to the opposite diagonal allfour feet are off the ground. Although the forelimbs do a lot of work at this pace, the hind

limbs are brought into use just sufficiently for the hocks to be flexed to show the pads of

the feet from the rear. The action can be seen from the side, however." (5-pp. 40-41)

A Lhasa which possesses a good trot will move in a smooth, graceful, and effortlessfashion. This is the gait in which the Lhasa comes closest to single tracking; i.e., placing his

feet as nearly as possible under the center of his body. A properly built Lhasa, with

balanced front and rear angulation, will not single track in the manner of a Brittany since

the Lhasa is both shorter of leg and has a broader rib spring for its size. The paws should,however, come down in a spaced pattern.

The reach and the drive of a Lhasa should be apparent at a trot. A good forward reach isessential, as is rear drive, for a smooth, collective look.

When a Lhasa moves at a walk or amble, both slower than a trot, the Lhasa shouldpresent different pictures as his feet are placed differently and his weight is distributedsomewhat differently. As he walks, the Lhasa has one leg moving, three feet on the ground,

and a pelvis doing its own thing. This is an awkward gait. A Lhasa which gives a stilted lookat a walk most likely has two faults: too straight angulation in the shoulder and too shortbacked.

The amble, during which the limbs on one side move together, is slightly faster than the

walk. As a Lhasa gaits in this manner, his weight switches from side to side, his fore legs do

the majority of the work, and his hips appear to roll.The gallop is seen usually when a Lhasa is in the open and desires to cover a great deal of

ground. All four feet may be off the ground, as "one forefoot lands a fraction of a secondearlier and behind the other, the flexible spine bends and the back feet come up behind thefront and push off in a bound." (5-p.40) This gait has a four beat rhythm. "For a Lhasa togallop, he must have good shoulders, good thighs, good legs, a good chest indicated by agood rib spring, a strong heart, and a love for moving with the wind.

One thing that I have noticed is that those Lhasas who can gallop with ease over an acreof ground also have a smooth, sparkling trot." (H-p.43)

As Frances Sefton points out, "a sloping shoulder such as the Apso has transmits theweight on to the forelimb indirectly, because of the angle which is made by the shoulderand the upper arm bones. This acts as a sort of spring action, and gives the jauntiness in themovement, particularly at trotting pace." (S.-p.41) jauntiness indicates a lively briskmanner, a degree of unconcern, with vigour and with a sense of elegance—tasteful correct-ness.

Thus, in the ring a properly moving Lhasa will move in a brisk, smooth, and gracefulmanner as he trots. He will come close to single tracting, but not true single tracting. Hismovement will have a sense of spring action, his rear paws will be revealed, and his toplinewill appear level. The Lhasa will present a picture of unconcerned correct elegance.
