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

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.

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.

Marie Kaufman‐Cardona, Pam Langstein and Sharon McCadam to serve on the By‐Laws Committee. President Rangel will inform them of their

approval.

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.

9

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.

WordswehatetohearBy 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.

20

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.

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

22

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

23

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. 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.

2. a field trial amendment to Chapter 14, new section 18A passed.

Meeting was adjourned thereafter.

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.

DISASTEREVACUATIONPROCEDURES1. 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

33

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

DOGEVACUATIONPROCEDURES1. 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

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. Approved April 12, 1966 DQ added Oct. 1, 2007
